Honghuang Fuxi: Nuwa, I Want You to Help Me Cultivate

Eastern Prince Gong hesitated. Was he really going to risk intervening in the great battle between the Witch Clan and Demon Race just because of Fuxi's provocation?

But at that moment, Queen Mother of the West looked at Eastern Prince Gong, her eyes filled with doubt.

Eastern Prince Gong, the Head of Male Immortals who cared immensely about his pride, immediately got hotheaded and declared loudly, "What's there to fear? I am the Head of Male Immortals. The male immortals of the Witch Clan and Demon Race should naturally fall under my jurisdiction."

Having said that, Eastern Prince Gong charged toward the void where the Witch Clan and Demon Race faced off.

"I am the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor. I order the Witch Clan and Demon Race to lay down your weapons and cease fighting!"

Eastern Prince Gong said righteously.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi all looked at Eastern Prince Gong as if he were a fool.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Demon Race's two Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had already harbored resentment over Hongjun appointing Eastern Prince Gong as the Head of Male Immortals. After all, the Witch Clan and Demon Race were the protagonists of heaven and earth in Honghuang. Since when was it the turn of an Eastern Prince Gong at the late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage to discipline them?

Even if Hongjun had appointed the Three Pure Ones as the Head of Male Immortals, they would not have accepted it, much less Eastern Prince Gong.

Now that Eastern Prince Gong had obtained a treasure, instead of staying obediently in his own cave abode, he actually treated himself as the Head of Male Immortals and wanted to meddle in the war between the Witch Clan and Demon Race. This was simply overestimating himself.

Gong Gong said disdainfully, "Who are you? You dare come and meddle in the affairs of our Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words were even more blunt and cutting. He said, "A late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal gets chosen by the Dao Ancestor by sheer luck, and now he doesn't even know who he is? You dare meddle in the Demon Race's affairs? I'll make sure you die without even knowing how you died!"

After suffering mockery from both the Witch Clan and Demon Race in succession, Eastern Prince Gong's expression naturally turned incomparably ugly.

He took out the Nine Dragon Golden Staff bestowed by Hongjun and pointed it at Eastern Emperor Taiyi. "Eastern Emperor Taiyi, I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. You dare refuse discipline and even threaten to kill me? I think you are disrespecting the Dao Ancestor!"

Thinking that Hongjun stood behind him, Eastern Prince Gong's back immediately stiffened.

Saint Takes Action, Time Reversal

Eastern Prince Gong tried to invoke Hongjun's name to intimidate Eastern Emperor Taiyi. This was the source of his confidence.

Unfortunately, Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not buy it at all.

Jieyin and Zhunti were Hongjun's disciples, yet when Fuxi beat them, Hongjun had not stepped in to save them. This showed that Hongjun's attitude toward Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals related to him was fairly hands-off.

Therefore, as long as Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not beat Eastern Prince Gong to death or cripple him, Hongjun would probably only stand by and watch.

Thus, Eastern Prince Gong's threat only made Eastern Emperor Taiyi feel that he was deeply guilty.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi directly took out the Chaos Bell, carrying it as he slowly approached Eastern Prince Gong.

As he drew closer, he said, "What now? You still want to meddle in my Demon Race?"

Eastern Prince Gong grew somewhat nervous. He gripped the Nine Dragon Golden Staff tightly and said with a lack of confidence, "Eastern Emperor Taiyi, what do you want to do?! If you dare attack me, be careful that the Saint will directly wipe out your entire clan!"

Eastern Prince Gong had only intended to intimidate Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but the moment those words left his mouth, he violated Eastern Emperor Taiyi's taboo.

Once words about exterminating one's blood relatives were spoken, the consequences were severe.

Eastern Prince Gong actually wanted to wipe out his blood relatives. That made Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes turn red at once.

He demanded harshly, "What did you say?"

Flames erupted directly from Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body, engulfing his entire figure.

When Eastern Prince Gong thought of how he, the dignified Head of Male Immortals, had actually been oppressed by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he found it unbearably humiliating. If the Dao Ancestor saw this, he would surely be disappointed.

Thus, Eastern Prince Gong's emotions shifted from panic to shame and indignation, then from shame and indignation to furious rage.

Eastern Prince Gong raised the Nine Dragon Golden Staff high and pointed it at Eastern Emperor Taiyi. "I said, I am the Head of Male Immortals personally chosen by the Dao Ancestor. If you dare touch me—touch me, and the Saint will wipe out your entire clan!"

"What is there to fear!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi directly raised the Chaos Bell and smashed it toward Eastern Prince Gong.

Eastern Prince Gong was somewhat taken aback. Who could have imagined that Eastern Emperor Taiyi would be so arrogant, not even giving Hongjun any face?

But he did not know that his words had already caused Eastern Emperor Taiyi to lose his reason. At this moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi regarded him only as an enemy. Why would he still care about Hongjun's arrangements?

Scarlet light blazed brilliantly from the Chaos Bell as it viciously struck toward Eastern Prince Gong.

Eastern Prince Gong was horrified and hurriedly raised the Nine Dragon Golden Staff to block it.

But a Chaos Supreme Treasure was, after all, a Chaos Supreme Treasure. Even if the Nine Dragon Golden Staff had been a treasure Hongjun used before becoming a Saint, it was ultimately only a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. The gap between the two treasures could not be bridged.

Therefore, the Nine Dragon Golden Staff failed to completely block the Chaos Bell's attack. The destructive force transmitted through the staff directly warped Eastern Prince Gong's arm, and he spat out blood.

Eastern Prince Gong retreated at top speed. He panicked. He was afraid.

He could feel Eastern Emperor Taiyi's killing intent. Just now, it had been like taking a trip through Ghost Gate Pass.

"You want to kill my blood relatives?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi showed no mercy and continued chasing after Eastern Prince Gong.

As Eastern Prince Gong fled, he shouted, "Dao Ancestor, save me!"

But his speed could not match Eastern Emperor Taiyi's, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi quickly caught up to him.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi swung the Chaos Bell and smashed it toward Eastern Prince Gong's head.

"Second Brother, don't!"

Di Jun rushed toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi, trying to stop him from attacking.

If Eastern Emperor Taiyi killed Eastern Prince Gong, Hongjun would surely fly into a rage. Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and perhaps even the entire Demon Race, would be punished by Hongjun.

No one could withstand a Saint's wrath.

But Di Jun was too far from Eastern Emperor Taiyi to stop him in time. He could only watch helplessly as Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell touched Eastern Prince Gong's hair.

Feeling the Chaos Bell press close to his scalp, Eastern Prince Gong's every hope turned to ashes, and he cried out in despair.

Queen Mother of the West shut her eyes in shock. No matter what, she and Eastern Prince Gong had known each other once; watching him die with her own eyes was still terrifying.

Yet Fuxi calmly watched everyone on the field. He believed Eastern Prince Gong would never die so easily.

Sure enough, when the Chaos Bell in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hand was but a hair's breadth from Eastern Prince Gong, both their bodies suddenly froze.

An invisible force appeared, causing Eastern Emperor Taiyi to gradually retreat even as his body slipped beyond his control, while Eastern Prince Gong retraced his path back to where he had originally stood.

Their movements were as though the earlier scene were being played backward.

Fuxi's pupils contracted. "The laws of time and space?!"

The only thing capable of this was probably that terrifying technique only Saints could wield—time reversal.

This meant Hongjun had intervened.

When Eastern Emperor Taiyi returned to Di Jun's side and Eastern Prince Gong returned to the void before the Witch Clan and Demon Race, the two finally regained control of their bodies.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, let this matter end here."

Hongjun's voice came from the distant void.

Having regained his senses, Eastern Emperor Taiyi said with lingering fear in his heart, "Since the Dao Ancestor has commanded it, Eastern Emperor shall naturally obey."

If he had truly killed Eastern Prince Gong just now, he would have brought about a catastrophe.

Fortunately, the Dao Ancestor had acted in time and used a Saint's methods to stop him. Otherwise, the situation would have become impossible to clean up.

Eastern Prince Gong's arm was still injured, and his entire body was in a miserable state.

Seeing that the Saint had saved him, he immediately wailed in grievance, "Saint, Eastern Emperor Taiyi openly attacked the Head of Male Immortals. He has utterly disregarded your decree! I beg the Saint to execute Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun's pupils contracted slightly. The attack was already an established fact; if Hongjun truly judged the matter as it stood, their Demon Race would indeed have to be punished.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi angrily pointed at Eastern Prince Gong. "You were clearly the one who jumped out first to interfere in the affairs of my Demon Race. What are you pretending to be wronged for?"

"I am wronged! I..."

Eastern Prince Gong wanted to continue defending himself.

But before his cries of injustice had even ended, Hongjun's voice emerged and directly drowned out the quarrel between both sides.

"Silence! I appointed you Head of Male Immortals so that you could reconcile the conflicts of Hong Huang, not stir up trouble and provoke discord. From now on, conduct yourself well."

Hongjun's words crashed down like thunder, making Eastern Prince Gong shrink his neck and fall silent.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Di Jun were all delighted to see Eastern Prince Gong suffer a setback.

What delighted them was not Eastern Prince Gong being rebuked, but the fact that Hongjun had placed restrictions on Eastern Prince Gong's authority.

This meant that once Eastern Prince Gong did anything that did not accord with the Saint's decree, Hongjun would not intervene to save him.

If Eastern Prince Gong still dared provoke them, without a Saint to protect him, the only road awaiting him would be death.

Both their races wielded immense power in Hong Huang. If Eastern Prince Gong gained the Dao Ancestor's support and truly managed the male immortals of Hong Huang, it would hinder the development of both great races.

Although the Witch Clan and Demon Race fought each other fiercely, in the final analysis, both the Witch Clan and Demon Race were expanding and growing without restraint.

Since Hongjun did not intend to fully support Eastern Prince Gong, it meant the Saint had no intention of forcefully interfering with the development of the Witch Clan and Demon Race, and was merely considering the stability of Hong Huang.

Seeing that the Dao Ancestor was unwilling to punish Eastern Emperor Taiyi for his sake, Eastern Prince Gong knew he had lost face and could no longer face Queen Mother of the West and the many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. He immediately transformed into a streak of crimson immortal light and fled toward Hong Huang World.

The Witch Clan and Demon Race had assumed that Hongjun would vanish after saving Eastern Prince Gong. They prepared to continue their standoff before going to war.

Yet just as the two races stood facing each other, Hongjun's voice once more rang out from the void.

"Dijiang, Di Jun, let today's battle between the Witch Clan and Demon Race end here. Withdraw separately."

Hongjun's words made the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi turn grave. They were utterly baffled.

"Dao Ancestor, why can we not fight today?"

Di Jun asked in a deep voice.

In truth, whether in the eyes of the Witch Clan or the Demon Race, today's battle was a private matter between the two races.

Although the Dao Ancestor had bestowed upon them the grace of teaching the Dao, he should not have interfered in the dispute between their races.

Yet no Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of either race dared speak such words to Hongjun, because they could not afford to provoke a Saint.

Since the Saint had intervened, they could only cooperate with the Saint's arrangements.

But were they supposed to swallow the hatred between the two races in their hearts?

Both Di Jun and Dijiang wanted to hear a definite time for war. The two races' battle could be stopped, but the hatred between them could not be erased.

Only after a long while did Hongjun's voice emerge from the void.
