Chapter 486: Robbing the Outer Realm Demon Race? I Like It

Hongjun was nearly angered to death by Tang An; she was burying her head in the sand seeking death, but could she actually die now?

To say nothing else, just look at all the Saints present right now—aside from Yuanshi Tianzun, they were all standing behind her!

Even Yuanshi Tianzun was now taking the initiative to draw closer to Taishang Laojun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Just looking at the way Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun were staring at him right now, if he really made a move to kill Tang An, this group would replace the Heavenly Dao the very next second!

Heh, was she seeking death? She was forcing him to his death, wasn't she!

"Hey, why are you leaving?"

"No, don't go! If you leave, who am I supposed to die at the hands of!"

Tang An stomped her foot. In the past, she had fought desperately to live, and he had tried every way to force her to die. Now that she was actively seeking death, hey, he was running away?

"Ah!!!"

She turned back to look at Tongtian Jiaozhu and the others; they clearly had innocent expressions, absolutely devoid of the threatening intent that had been directed at Hongjun just a moment ago.

"How about you all..."

"Forget it." Tang An couldn't force her Master and Martial Uncle to kill their own junior; that would be trapping them in a position of being unbenevolent and unrighteous.

"I'll go find Nuwa." After saying this, Tang An's Primordial Spirit vanished from the spot.

Taishang Laojun looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, "Junior Brother, what did our grand-niece seek me out for just now?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu didn't know either. "Let her toss and turn as she pleases; when she's tired of tossing, she will naturally come to find you."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Taishang Laojun returned to Doushuai Palace, and the three martial brothers all went back to doing what they were doing.

Not a single person cared whether anything would actually happen to Tang An. Because in the current Three Realms, even Nuwa would find it hard to kill her.

Even if she didn't resist, Nuwa and Fuxi would absolutely protect her, rather than kill her.

Therefore, given her style of doing things, if it didn't work in the Inner Realm, she would definitely go to the Outer Domain. And after going to the Outer Domain... wouldn't it be those Outer Realm Demon Race members who were unlucky?

Wahuang Palace.

Nuwa was not surprised to see Tang An arrive.

"Why have you come?"

Tang An put her hands on her hips and began.

"Nuwa Niangniang, I'll just assume you had to do all those things you plotted against me before for the sake of the people of the world. I also promised you I would guard the pass for three thousand years, so let's turn the page on that matter."

"But you can't be too unreasonable; working for free for three thousand years is one thing, but you even want to sign me on directly and have me work for free for a lifetime?"

"Are you playing with me?"

"Although I know the power of capital doesn't care about reason, you can't be too unreasonable, right?"

Nuwa waited until Tang An had finished her long-winded rant and vented everything before she spoke.

"The mark on your brow was not specifically arranged by me, nor was it the work of the Great Dao."

"Hmm?"

So she had been blabbering on for half a day, and Nuwa had just been watching the show?

"Explain further."

As for whether Nuwa was lying... the probability of that should be low.

Judging by Nuwa's previous straightforward answers, even if it was heartbreaking or blunt, she said exactly what was on her mind.

On this matter, it seemed Nuwa really had no need to lie to her.

Nuwa smiled without a word.

"Then I'm resigning. Can I just not be a Great Dao Saint?"

She had dodged the position of Heavenly Dao Saint for so long, and just when she had finally managed to avoid it, good heavens, she looked back and saw she had fallen into an even bigger pit.

What, is it that the Three Realms must be tied to her?

Nuwa smiled lightly: "Your Saint position was born in response to the times. It is not my wish; you should understand this yourself."

"I should understand myself?" Tang An was puzzled.

With a wave of Nuwa's hand, an image appeared before Tang An.

Taking her as the example, countless threads of Causality were wrapped behind her. From Saints down to mortals.

The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, demons, ghosts, and monsters—all had Causality of varying sizes with her.

And as earth accumulates to form mountains and water accumulates to form abysses, her Causality with the Three Realms was so great that it produced a qualitative change.

And that qualitative change was naturally pushing her forward. After responding to various Great Tribulations, she had even more boundless Merit, which was why she was about to become a Great Dao Saint.

"I..."

Tang An smiled bitterly; so this was the price of having ten thousand Causalities added to one's body?

Nuwa asked: "A Great Dao Saint is what all living beings pursue throughout their lives, yet they cannot attain it."

"Why are you unhappy?"

"Just because everyone else pursues it, must I pursue it too?" Tang An was truly annoyed. "To put it nicely, it's a Great Dao Saint; to put it bluntly, isn't it just a future candidate for the Heavenly Dao?"

"Once I become the Heavenly Dao, I might seem to stand at the peak of power. But one who wishes to wear the crown must bear its weight."

"I just want to be a mortal, living freely and happily. Having a grandmother, having a mother, being able to eat until full and sleep until rested, being carefree and content—that would be the best life in the world."

Nuwa pondered for a moment and nodded, without judging whether Tang An was right or wrong.

Tang An asked again: "So must I be the new Heavenly Dao in the future?"

Nuwa formed a seal to calculate, then said only four words: "There is no Fixed Number."

"No Fixed Number?" What was that supposed to mean?

Does it mean it might be, or it might not be? Could she perhaps change this fate and find another candidate for the Heavenly Dao? Or something else?

Clearly, Nuwa did not want to leak the secrets of Heaven, and only continued to smile lightly and shake her head slightly.

Tang An clenched her fists, "Sometimes, I really want to fight it out with you Saints who love to speak in riddles."

"Hmph!"

In a fit of pique, having been piqued, Tang An came over all puffed up with anger, and then left in a huff.

Doushuai Palace.

Tang An returned as soon as she had left, and Taishang Laojun felt she was coming for him again.

"Are you satisfied?"

"No."

"Then why have you returned..."

"I need you to forge Gatling guns for me, Uncle-Master." Tang An held up one index finger.

"One... of them?" He hoped so, but Taishang Laojun knew very well that whenever Tang An opened her mouth, she never asked for a small favor.

"One... million."

Taishang Laojun tripped on flat ground, "How many?"

"One million, to re-equip the ghost soldiers of Senior Bai Qi."

"One million???"

"Mm." Tang An handed over the Wealth Gathering Ring to Taishang Laojun as well, "Take whatever you find useful; if it comes to it, I'll just go rob someone else later."

The corners of Taishang Laojun's mouth twitched; this child really is...

"Do you truly intend to forge this equipment for a million ghost soldiers?"

"Naturally."

"Then it is not the Three Realms you should be robbing, but the Outer Realm Demon Race."

"Huh?"

"The constitution of the million ghost soldiers is extremely yin; the treasures of extreme yin from the Outer Domain, the extreme yin Qi, and the Innate Violent Qi are what are most suitable for the ghost soldiers to use."

Hearing this, Tang An nodded earnestly, "That makes sense."

"Then Uncle-Master, just wait here patiently; I shall return shortly."

Anyway, robbing anyone is still robbing; robbing the enemy's things only makes her more excited.
