Chapter 509

"Yes!!!"

With solemn faces, all the Honghuang titans shouted in unison.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Supreme Hongjun saw his hand reach out; in an instant, it seemed to transform into a small universe, boundless and endless, vast and mighty, with even a single wisp of breath containing the immense power to suppress the heavens and myriad realms.

Amidst the rolling thunder, the Tiancheng in Supreme Hongjun's hand seemed to shrink continuously, with all the wreckage compressed and gathered until it finally became miniature in size, completely taken into Supreme Hongjun's grasp.

Nuwa waved her beautiful hand, activating the status of the Lord of Humanity, and collected all the primordial essences of the fallen beings drifting and permeating this world.

One by one, supreme Dao fruits activated, waves of majestic auras erupted, and many Honghuang titans wielding special authorities moved to erase the traces, causes, effects, and concepts of this place, striving to delay even a little longer.

Completely erasing the traces is definitely impossible, and it is also impossible to prevent other powerful beings in the heavens and myriad realms from noticing; that would be nonsense.

There are only so many existences capable of invading and suppressing the Tiancheng, and with Honghuang's layout and schemes in the heavens and myriad realms becoming increasingly frequent, the number of clues left behind is self-evident.

All these added together will definitely be discovered; it is merely a matter of time, and what they must do is delay time as much as possible, with all their might!

With everything completed and all finished, all the Honghuang titans exhaled a breath, then without any pause, directly opened a spatial channel and vanished from the Tiancheng.

In the main hall of the Purple Cloud Palace on the Honghuang plane.

One by one, the Honghuang titans took their seats.

"Resources will be distributed as agreed. Let's discuss the main matter first. Brother Fuxi, calculate approximately how much time we have left."

Supreme Hongjun spoke quickly.

Thirty. Now is a time of racing against the clock; every moment is of utmost importance.

After all, perhaps that extra bit of time could allow their cultivation base to break through a little further, increasing their strength by a fraction; at this time, the faster the better.

Hearing this, Brother Fuxi wasted no words; with a wave of his hand, the projection of the River of Time and Space shrank and vanished into his palm. As his eyes closed slightly, boundless power of time and space seemed to flow, like layer upon layer, constantly gathering.

After a while, Brother Fuxi opened his eyes again. An ancient, wild aura, somewhat chaotic, fluctuated from his body.

Feeling countless gazes upon him, Brother Fuxi exhaled a breath to adjust his breathing, then spoke deeply: "No more than one billion years. I have glimpsed from a corner of the future that powerful ones and titans are tracing time and space, trying to reverse time and space downstream to figure out the situation."

Speaking, Brother Fuxi paused, then said word by word: "The time left for us... is not much."

Downstream!

Time and space are a whole, composed of the past, present, and future. The present moment is this very instant, while the past is upstream, also the past; the meaning of downstream is self-evident.

There are titans and ancient existences in the future time and space trying to reverse back to find clues!

Their time is not much!

Is one billion years long?

Yes!

For mortals, it is so long as to be immeasurable, so ancient as to be unimaginable.

But for them, it is not so.

It must be known that even a Great Dao Realm expert entering seclusion once might last about a Yanni, and even then, they can only increase their cultivation base slightly, or perhaps not at all.

And the length of one billion years is self-evident.

Although Supreme Hongjun and others wield the Gao Zhilu of the Source, which is different from ordinary people, this does not mean that one billion years is a long time.

"It is enough. Our supreme authorities have all been fully unfolded, many Dao traditions including their extensions have been completed, and with the gains from this Tiancheng, it is enough to allow our strength to achieve a leap and the maximum possible improvement."

"If there were more time, it would be useless. Without the support of primordial essence, supplies, and realization, the improvement we can achieve through our own cultivation is inherently very limited."

Supreme Hongjun spoke.

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly to show agreement; now they could only think this way, otherwise there would be no point.

"Then let us each prepare. Make the necessary allocations, set up the necessary layouts. Time is limited, gentlemen, let us encourage each other."

"If we pass this trial, from now on, we will all have a broad road; if we do not cross it, then on the road to the Yellow Springs, we will all be companions."

Taking a deep breath, Supreme Hongjun spoke solemnly with a serious face.

"We understand."

"We understand."

The titans' faces grew stern, and they spoke solemnly.

"I have one matter."

At this moment, Nuwa spoke.

Her cold voice, though not loud, echoed throughout the entire main hall, containing a mysterious charm that made everyone involuntarily look at Nuwa.

"Speak."

Supreme Hongjun gestured.

"Why must we passively wait for the heavens to invade, waiting for powerful beings from the myriad realms to descend upon our realm? If so, then we are the ones being passive."

Nuwa spoke slowly.

Upon hearing these words, the eyes of all the Honghuang titans flickered slightly; they understood what Nuwa meant, and their eyes all became deep.

Passive... hmm?

The titans' hearts stirred slightly.

"Your meaning is..."

Supreme Hongjun gestured.

"The time we have now is at most no more than one billion years. To be safe, let us not be so precise; a period of around eighty million years will suffice."

"If we let the heavens descend, then the battlefield will become our Honghuang plane. By that time, even if our preparations are thorough and our schemes numerous, there will inevitably be some errors; if we are slightly careless, it will be eternal damnation for us."

"In that case, why not take the initiative and attack?"

"Everyone present wields supreme authorities, possesses supreme status, and under their command have evolved supreme Dao traditions. If another eighty million years pass, in terms of foundation, each of us can compare to an Upper-level Realm."

"In that case, why not each form a team, split into countless groups, and thus each conquer a realm of the heavens, first stirring up the waters of these heavens for him."

"Only when the waters are murky can the undercurrents hidden beneath the surface appear. By then, we will be able to occupy the main position; no matter what we do, it will be simpler and easier, and even if unforeseen changes occur, there will be room for planning."

"Beyond that, if we take the initiative to fight, we can catch the heavens and myriad realms off guard, and more importantly, allow us to sustain ourselves through war, using the primordial essence of the heavens and myriad realms to strengthen our own bodies."

"Moreover, we can use this opportunity to train our troops, to temper ourselves, to bolster our will to fight, and to reinforce the foundation of our plane."

"Because of the Gao Zhilu, almost all of us are cultivating, including the myriad beings; apart from cultivation, our combat experience and other aspects are insufficient. While our on-the-spot reactions or temporary handling abilities might suffice for us, what about the others?"

"If we turn passivity into initiative, it will be beneficial in every aspect and harmful in none."

"In this way, we can also shift the battlefield to the heavens; our Honghuang foundation remains, and can remain unchanged."

Facing countless gazes, Nuwa's expression remained calm as she slowly voiced her thoughts.

If one were to claim it was absolutely foolproof or beneficial without any harm, that would certainly be impossible, but overall, the benefits undoubtedly outweigh the drawbacks; this, the Honghuang giants present could naturally see, and with their wisdom, they could all understand.

"What do you all think?"

Having spoken, Nuwa looked at the crowd and said.

"Brilliant."

"Yes, we have all fallen into a thinking trap; why must we wait passively? Why not take the initiative? For us, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks."

"Thanks to Nuwa's reminder, we have always been thinking about how to face the heavens and myriad realms, yet we forgot this key point. Facing them is one thing, but there are many ways to do so."

One after another, the Honghuang giants spoke up; some showed excitement, others agitation, while expressions of realization, contemplation, and understanding appeared on the faces of the Honghuang giants.

"Everyone, let us decide by vote."

Supreme Hongjun said with a smile.

And the result was self-evident.

It would be strange if anyone refused; naturally, the Honghuang giants all spoke out or nodded to show their agreement.

"Unanimously passed. In that case, let us change our strategy."

"Nuwa's eighty million years is still somewhat unsafe. To be safe, let us shorten this time by another ten million years. When we first rise, the attention we attract will certainly not be too great; if we act a bit earlier, the resources we gather will be even greater."

"Sustain ourselves through war; by the time the heavens and myriad realms react, we will have already done much. In this way, we can strengthen our power even more and have a better foundation to face the heavens and myriad realms."

Supreme Hongjun said decisively.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The crowd solemnly responded, nodding as they spoke.

That is to say, the time they have left is... seventy million years!

Only seventy million years remain.

Zhang Zui opened his mouth; Supreme Hongjun was about to say something when, suddenly, as if sensing something, Supreme Hongjun's expression froze. With a wave of his hand, the other Honghuang giants seemed to notice as well; their pupils involuntarily contracted slightly, and their gazes all sharpened.

"This is..."
