Fellow Daoist, Don't Let Me Down!
Inside the Empress Wa's Palace, all was quiet and still.
Nuwa sat regally on her cloud bed, her beautiful face now flushed with rage once more.
That anger was half acted, but half of it was real.
How can we fool those cunning old foxes without showing some real skill?
If you're going to put on an act, then you have to make it believable, and make everyone believe that Nuwa is truly angry.
With this in mind, Nuwa no longer suppressed her aura.
Boom!
An overwhelmingly terrifying aura of Saint erupted from her, instantly sweeping across the entire Empress Wa's Palace.
"Presumptuous!"
A furious roar erupted from Nuwa's mouth.
Boom!
A terrifying aura of Saint instantly erupted from within the Empress Wa's Palace.
The endless Chaos surged, and the Zhoutian Stars trembled.
In the Primordial Wilderness, countless Great Powers awoke from their seclusion, gazing in horror towards the direction Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Is this... the Saint's anger?
Who on earth dares to provoke this Saint into such a furious rage?
The fairies, including Golden Phoenix, who were standing outside the hall, were forced to their knees by the sudden pressure, trembling and their faces filled with fear and confusion.
"Your Ladyship, please calm your anger!"
What's wrong, Your Ladyship?
Why did he get so angry?
She had never seen the Your Ladyship so angry!
However, Nuwa completely ignored her.
She suddenly stood up, her Surrounding Body surging with killing intent, and transformed into a streak of light, instantly rushing out of the Empress Wa's Palace.
That direction was clearly the location of Chaoge City!
However, just as Nuwa's figure, imbued with thunderous wrath, was about to descend upon the sky above Chaoge.
Deep within the royal palace, two thick beams of red light shot into the sky without warning, soaring straight into the Yunxiao.
The two beams of red light intertwined, forming an indestructible barrier that firmly protected the entire Chaoge City.
Nuwa's figure was stopped by this powerful force a hundred miles away from Chaoge City.
She hovered on the clouds, feigning surprise as she looked at the two red lights, a perfectly timed hint of astonishment and apprehension flashing in her phoenix eyes.
Now that the performance has reached this point, it's time to move on to the next step.
Nuwa calculated with her fingers, and the Heavenly Secrets flowed from her fingertips, revealing layers of mystery.
Her brows were furrowed, as if she had encountered some thorny problem.
After a moment, Nuwa whispered in disbelief, her words tinged with resentment and anger.
How is that possible?
"The Great Shang Dynasty's fate is not yet exhausted; it still has twenty-eight years of national prosperity ahead of it."
"The mandate of heaven has not yet been fulfilled. If I were to forcibly intervene, I would personally punish that tyrannical ruler."
"It will inevitably be tainted by boundless Karma, and may even suffer a backlash from the Human Path Fortune, which would be undesirable."
"Hmph! You're lucky you survived!"
"Since it is fate, I will spare your life for now!"
"But while the death penalty may be spared, punishment is inevitable!"
"You tyrant, how dare you desecrate this palace! I will surely destroy your Great Shang Dynasty dynasty!"
Then, she abruptly flicked her sleeve, turned around, and left.
That silhouette was filled with helplessness and resentment.
These words, spoken softly, were clearly heard by every Great Powers who was paying attention to this place.
Everyone understood.
It turns out that Emperor Xin offended the sage Nuwa!
The Saint originally intended to unleash Heavenly Punishment, but because the Shang Dynasty's fate was not yet exhausted, he had to temporarily abandon the plan.
Return to the Empress Wa's Palace.
Nuwa's anger dissipated, and the frost on her face melted away, replaced by a playful smile.
The performance is over.
The effect should be good.
Next, we come to the final step.
"Golden Phoenix."
A cool, clear voice echoed within the hall.
"Your Ladyship."
The Fairy Golden Phoenix entered the main hall tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Convey my Imperial Edict."
"The phoenix sings in Xiqi, the mandate of heaven brings prosperity to the Zhou dynasty."
Nuwa's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"The Yin Shang Dynasty was tyrannical, its Human Emperor lacked virtue, angered the Saint, and its fate was sealed."
"You shall go to Xiqi yourself, reveal your true form, and cry out on Mount Qi to fulfill the mandate of Heaven."
Upon hearing this, Golden Phoenix was deeply shaken, but she dared not disobey in the slightest.
"Yes, Your Ladyship."
"I'll take care of it right away!"
Having said that, Golden Phoenix dared not delay for a moment. She stood up, transformed into a golden streak of light, and flew straight out of the Empress Wa's Palace, heading towards Xiqi.
Not long after, a clear and melodious phoenix cry Yunxiao the sky above Mount Qi Xiqi City.
Countless people looked up at the sky and saw a magnificent phoenix circling above Mount Qi, its Auspicious Omen aura filling the heavens and earth.
Phoenix cries on Mount Qi!
This is an extremely auspicious omen!
The Mandate of Heaven is with Zhou!
The West, Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin and Zhunti were sitting under the Bodhi Tree when the phoenix cry reached them, and they both opened their eyes at the same time.
They both saw an undisguised smile on each other's faces.
"Senior brother, the plan has succeeded!" Zhunti said.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you have indeed not disappointed us."
"The Phoenix cries on Mount Qi, the Mandate of Heaven is with Zhou."
"The prelude to this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation has finally begun in earnest."
Even the usually sorrowful face of the Jieyin showed a rare hint of a smile.
"Good."
"The Great Prosperity of the West is just around the corner."
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Upon hearing the phoenix's cry, Yuanshi Tianzun indifferently opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of Chaoge.
"Di Xin..."
He gave a cold laugh.
"To offend Saint is to invite one's own destruction."
"The fate of your Great Shang Dynasty has run its course."
"Your strange Human Path Fortune won't protect you for much longer."
"When the Western Zhou presses in, that will be the time of your death and the destruction of your kingdom."
Then he slowly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to the outside world, as if he had everything under control.
Mount Shouyang, Eight Views Palace.
Taiqing Laozi was standing guard in front of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, gently waving Palm-leaf Fan in his hand, causing the fire in the furnace to flicker.
He glanced briefly in the direction of Xiqi before looking away.
"The Phoenix cries on Mount Qi...?"
"Nuwa has finally entered the game."
That's all I wanted to say.
It was as if all the conflicts in the world were irrelevant to him; only the batch of pills before him was the only thing he cared about.
Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.
The Tongtian Sect Master, seated high on his cloud bed, also heard the phoenix's cry.
He was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Hehe..."
The laughter carried three parts mockery and seven parts disdain.
"The phoenix cries in Xiqi, the Mandate of Heaven is with Zhou?"
He slowly stood up, his gaze piercing through the endless void and landing on the strange phenomenon of the Phoenix cries on Mount Qi.
A soaring sword intent rose from his body.
I refuse to believe in this so-called destiny!
"I will gamble with this so-called destiny, to seize that sliver of hope for my Interception Sect!"
Having said that, his gaze pierced through the endless void and landed on Chaoge City, where the Human Path Fortune was still at its peak.
A complex expression, unreadable to anyone, appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist..."
You absolutely mustn't let me down.
