Chapter 628

"I wish to reverse the Great Calamity, which may violate the Dao of Heaven and provoke Ancestor Hongjun to act personally. At that time, I will need Daoist Yuan Feng's help."

Without further formalities, Luo Fu directly stated his request to Yuan Feng.

"To reverse the Great Calamity and defy the Dao of Heaven—Daoist, what immense audacity."

Upon hearing Luo Fu's request, even Yuan Feng, who had seen much, could not help but be deeply moved.

"Very well. Daoist, your great kindness leaves Yuan Feng with no way to repay you. Since you hold this resolve, I shall stand with you and jointly defy the Dao of Heaven."

Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Feng immediately accepted Luo Fu's request.

Unlike the great powers of the Three Realms today, Yuan Feng was a powerhouse of the Ancient Era.

The powerful of that era had no concept of the Great Calamity, nor the notion that the Dao of Heaven's tide was unchangeable.

For those of that era, compared to the so-called tide of the Dao of Heaven, they trusted only the law of the strong devouring the weak and the supremacy of the powerful.

"Daoist Luo Fu, the Great Calamity is the tide of the Dao of Heaven—it cannot be altered. Ancestor Hongjun's power is unfathomable. I beg you…"

Hearing the dialogue between Luo Fu and Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan grew anxious.

He had been a direct participant in the Investiture Calamity and knew well its terror.

Merely entering the Calamity carried the risk of life or death—how much more so reversing it.

The last one who sought to reverse the Great Calamity, Saint Tongtian, nearly shattered the entire Honghuang and still failed, ultimately being sealed by Ancestor Hongjun within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Had Saint Tongtian not been a Saint, he would surely have been killed by Ancestor Hongjun long ago.

Even a Saint could not accomplish it—how much less Luo Fu, who is not a Saint?

Kong Xuan's first reaction to Luo Fu's desire to oppose Ancestor Hongjun was that Luo Fu had gone mad.

Thus, despite Luo Fu's great favor toward him, Kong Xuan could not help but urge him to stop.

"No need to speak further. Nothing is unchangeable. Daoist Luo Fu's intent to reverse the Great Calamity must come with certainty—we need only follow his plan."

Before Kong Xuan could finish, Yuan Feng cut him off.

Compared to Kong Xuan, Yuan Feng saw more clearly.

Since Luo Fu could resurrect him, his methods must be astonishing indeed.

Even compared to a Saint, he was not necessarily weaker.

Perhaps Luo Fu himself was a Saint-level powerhouse.

Otherwise, he would never have dared propose reversing the Great Calamity.

The Investiture War was no secret; any immortal or deity in the Three Realms with even modest power knew its full history.

Knowing the outcome of the Investiture War, yet still seeking to reverse the Great Calamity—and already laying plans—such a person must possess earth-shattering abilities.

Such a person must possess earth-shattering abilities.

After being cut off by Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan could only reluctantly fall silent, though his eyes still held traces of dissent and anxiety.

His dissent arose because he did not believe Luo Fu could oppose Ancestor Hongjun; his anxiety stemmed from not wanting Yuan Feng to join Luo Fu in a doomed folly.

Luo Fu and Yuan Feng were not Saints—if they clashed with Ancestor Hongjun, death was certain.

"Daoist Luo Fu, I have only just been resurrected; my strength is at most that of a Pre-Saint. How can I possibly aid you?"

Yuan Feng looked at Luo Fu and asked her question again.

She was well aware of her own strength.

During the Long Hanchu Calamity, she had been among the strongest of her time.

But now, mere Pre-Saint power was truly inadequate.

Without the accumulation of Wushuyuan Society's eons, even the Buddha, whom Luo Fu had subdued, might surpass her.

Luo Fu resurrected her not for her strength.

"I need to borrow the destiny of your clan."

Without pretense, Luo Fu directly revealed his plan to Yuan Feng.

He resurrected her precisely for the destiny of the Phoenix clan.

More precisely, the destiny of the feathered creatures.

After Pangu opened heaven and earth, the Zhou Tian contained five categories.

These five were Luo, Lin, Mao, Yu, Kun.

They could also be called the Five Insects.

To Pangu, all life in the Honghuang was but insects within his body.

Luo insects were those without shells, living on land, with sparse or no hair—such as elephants.

Lin insects were those covered in scales, primarily aquatic beings.

Mao insects referred to terrestrial beasts covered in hair.

Yu insects, as the name implies, were creatures covered in feathers, capable of flight.

Kun insects referred to shelled creatures.

These five categories encompassed all life in the Honghuang.

Among them, the Phoenix was the lord of the Yu insects.

The Beginning Qilin was the lord of the Mao insects—the lords of terrestrial beasts.

The Dragon Clan was the lord of the aquatic beings.

The Luo insects were dominated by the human race.

The Journey to the West World, in a sense, was the dominion of the Luo insects.

As for the Kun insects, no race was dominant, and thus no overlord emerged.

Luo Fu valued Yuan Feng precisely for her status as lord of the feathered creatures.

Luo Fu valued the Phoenix precisely for its status as the lord of flying creatures.

Although during the Long Hanchu calamity, the Phoenix, Qilin, and Dragon clans could all be said to have failed, paying an extremely heavy price.

But these three races were not extinguished.

The Phoenix clan, because of Daoist Yuan Feng's vow, were all sealed within the Immortal Volcano.

The Qilin clan was sealed within the Heart of the Earth.

Thus, in the Three Realms, Qilin and Phoenix are almost never seen.

The Dragon clan fared slightly better, forced to eternally guard the Four Seas.

Since these three races were not extinguished, it means they remain the Lords of Avians, Lords of Terrestrial Beasts, and Lords of Aquatic Races.

Luo Fu truly valued this.

As Lords of Avians, the Phoenix clan must possess the power to mobilize the destiny of all avian races.

That is to say, Luo Fu valued the destiny of the avian races.

"Our clan's destiny—the Phoenix have declined; surely they possess little destiny left… Friend, you mean the destiny of the avian races?"

As a former lord of his race, Daoist Yuan Feng quickly realized and guessed Luo Fu's true intent.

"The Phoenix have declined; I cannot be certain how much avian destiny I can still mobilize. But if Friend requires it, Daoist Yuan Feng will expend every last scrap of avian destiny to aid you."

Without hesitation, Daoist Yuan Feng immediately made his pledge.

The debt of salvation is greater than heaven; destiny is but a trifle—if Luo Fu wants it, even if it means exhausting all avian destiny, Daoist Yuan Feng will not hesitate.

"I only need Daoist Yuan Feng to mobilize the avian destiny using your own status; how much you can mobilize is no concern of yours—I have my own means."
