Chapter 142: Decisive Battle Progress Accelerates

"Hongjun is literally a scoundrel!"

"There are only four Heavenly Dao ferocious demon treasures in total."

"Now the Six Soul Banners, the Falling Star Sacred Pill, and the Heaven‑Burial Coffin have all been taken under his control!"

"He can already wield Primordial Chaos Purple Qi and control the six Venerable Heavenly Dao Saints under his command."

"He even goes to such lengths to guard against it."

"That's really something!"

"After confirming there was no form of tracking or spying."

"Diti also reverted to his original appearance."

"Under such comprehensive suppression, the Supreme's chance of breaking away from Hongjun is virtually nil."

"To ensure absolute certainty, the Earth Scripture must be obtained!"

"Using the Falling Star Sacred Pill and the Heaven‑Burial Coffin as means of intimidation."

"Offering the promise of attaining Dao, becoming a saint, and reaching the pinnacle of the Great Dao as bait."

"Even if Zhen Yuanzi's heart is indifferent and non‑actionist, they cannot break free from Hongjun's control."

"Rather than letting the opponent get the Earth Scripture for free."

"Giving them a chance to steal the authority of the Earth Dao."

"It would be better to keep it for ourselves!"

"The Hellfire Red Lotus and the Merit Golden Lotus are already in hand."

"The material for the Rebellious Chaos Azure Lotus is only missing the whereabouts of the unknown Reincarnation Purple Lotus."

"Diti's eyes flickered with a brief contemplation."

"He waved his hand, opening a tunnel leading to the Netherworld Sea of Blood."

"Gazing at the Enlightenment Platform, the aura grew increasingly harmonious and benevolent."

"Within the six altars lie the mortal world, the endless infernal cycle, faintly visible, guarding the Earth."

"A hint of satisfaction also rose in his eyes."

"At this rate, within at most a thousand years, the Earth will fully comprehend everything."

"He roughly estimated in his mind the time for the Earth's awakening."

"Diti then closed the spacetime rift."

"He turned his hand and opened a spacetime tunnel leading to the Hall of the Heavens."

"Since Yuan Feng, Nüwa, Wang Shu, Xi He, and Chang Xi were in the process of transferring authority and handling the affairs accumulated by the Star Treasure Pavilion and the Falling Star Department during this period."

"Thus, the five of them happen to be inside the Hall of the Heavens right now!"

"\"We pay our respects to Your Majesty! \""

"Seeing that the visitor was Diti, Yuan Feng and the others instantly lowered their guard and bowed to welcome him."

"\"No need for formalities, stand. \""

"Diti smiled, nodded, and gently lifted Yuan Feng and the others."

"\"Your Majesty, this is the latest intelligence. \""

"\"A covert hand suspected to belong to Luo Hou has been exposed, discovered by Hongjun. \""

"\"The two clashed on Mount Sumeru and revealed a bombshell! \""

"Speaking, Nüwa handed the received intelligence to Diti, asking him to review it."

"\"Just now on Mount Sumeru, the one who faced Hongjun was me. \""

"Looking at the handed intelligence, Diti directly stated the factual truth."

"\"I found that no matter how the Wu Clan publicizes, no one dares to act first. \""

"\"And I happen to need the Merit Golden Lotus. \""

"\"So I disguised myself as an outer‑realm celestial demon, opening a precedent for the primordial beings to hunt Primordial Chaos Purple Qi! \""

"\"Later Hongjun intervened personally, trying to force me to admit that the Star Court colluded with the Demon Clan, seeking to nurture the invader for self‑importance and wreak havoc on heaven and earth. \""

"\"In a moment of anger, I repaid him in kind using his own method. \""

"\"Letting him also taste the feeling of being drowned by public opinion. \""

"\"I just didn't expect that, after distributing so many... \""

"\"In Hongjun's hand was unexpectedly a Heavenly Dao ferocious demon treasure— the Heaven‑Burial Coffin! \""

"\"Knowing I was outmatched, I withdrew immediately. \""

"Listening to Diti's nonchalant recount of everything that had just happened."

"Yuan Feng and the others also felt a surge of relief."

"Fortunately, Hongjun did not know the truth."

"If he were to learn that the covert assassin was Diti."

"He would undoubtedly, without hesitation, pull out the Heaven‑Burial Coffin and try every means to seal him inside!"

"\"This is the third‑person perspective of the Mount Sumeru battle. \""

"Speaking, Diti extracted a memory pearl from his own recollections and handed it to Nüwa."

"\"No modifications are needed; sell it at normal intelligence price to the clients of the Star Treasure Pavilion. \""

"\"Extract the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi easily without harming me, along with the conspiracy theory about the Six Paths' Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, inform the Hidden Star Hall and the Wu Clan, and let them spread it! \""

"\"I will force Hongjun into a decisive battle, making him act covertly himself, to help the Supreme achieve Dao attainment and sainthood quickly! \""

"\"Your servant obeys the command! \""

"The moment Nüwa received the memory pearl."

Then it was taken into the demon‑summoning gourd.

And by means of a secret technique, the images inside the memory bead and Diti's command were transmitted to every member of the Hidden Star Hall.

Hongjun, upon discovering the Qi fortune he had gathered, plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He will certainly be unable to continue sitting steadily on the Fishing Platform.

To ensure the stability of Honghuang Tian Di after the war begins.

Yuan Feng, you must hand over the affairs in your hands as soon as possible.

Proceed to the Silent Extinction Volcano and complete the possession of Zhuque!

Once the White Tiger and Zhuque are fully under our control.

As for the allegiance of Qinglong and Xuan Gui, we can do without it!

Anyway, with the Qiankun Cauldron in hand, whether it is the Stone of Repairing Heaven or the Four Pillars of Extremes, they can only be dealt with with my consent!

At that time, regardless, roughly seventy percent of the Heaven‑and‑Earth merit will definitely belong to us!

Your humble servant receives the order!

Yuan Feng knows the Four Spiritual Beasts of Heaven and Earth and their importance for stabilizing Honghuang Tian Di.

Moreover, with the stature of the Solar Star God, the phoenix clan's Qi fortune, and the blessings of the Four Spiritual Beasts, they support the Heaven‑and‑Earth merit!

At the moment the four unite, she can at least ascend to the half‑step Mixed Origin Heavenly Dao Realm!

When that time comes, if the decisive battle is still unfinished.

Then her joining with Luo Hou could very well be the trump card that ends everything!

As for the new director of the Falling Star Office, I will have Tong Tian take the position.

Speaking thus, Diti casually tore the fabric of space‑time, and brought forth the already transformed Tong Tian, whose forehead bore a tiny demonic‑energy violet lotus, like a peerless demon sword drawn from its scabbard—its edge exposed, unrivaled in dominance, cold and merciless.

He brought him from the Demon Realm into Honghuang Tian Di.

Tong Tian has seen Your Majesty.

Stepping out of the space‑time tunnel, his eyes showed no ripple, only a coldness comparable to ten‑thousand‑year ice.

He bowed to Diti in greeting, then stood like a statue in place, awaiting his command.

Your next task is to take over the Falling Star Office.

Supreme and Primordial have already become Hongjun's tools for repaying the cause‑and‑effect of opening the heavens.

Soon thereafter, they will ascend to the saintly fruit of the Heavenly Dao.

Even now we have tacitly torn our faces with Hongjun.

But some matters still cannot be placed openly.

If you wish to take revenge, you can only covertly manipulate subordinates, go trouble people like Supreme, and by any means possible, eliminate them!

If you think this way, it's somewhat unsatisfying and does not vent your anger.

You may, while managing the Falling Star Office, station yourself on the Seven Killing Star, absorb its boundless malevolent forces, and strive to ascend to the Mixed Origin Great Luo Realm at an early date!

When the Star Court battles Hongjun, we will openly send Supreme and Primordial to seek repentance from Father God!

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your facilitation.

Upon hearing this, a hint of malice flashed in Tong Tian's eyes.

But he quickly suppressed it, gave a detached nod, and said nothing further.

This is the jadeite left by Father God, along with the supreme body‑tempering method, Nine‑turn Profound Technique.

If you wish to achieve a sword that stands alone, there is still a long road ahead; you must go explore it yourself.

I can only help you shore up the foundation; what you can later reach depends on your own destiny.
