The Great Battle Comes to an End!
The battle in the chaos gradually subsided, with only Jieyin and Nuwa still fighting, but their battle had entered its final stage.
The Merit Golden Lotus and the Jieyin Divine Banner were unleashed together, and the Three Thousand Great Daos formed the Three Thousand Worlds, seemingly with three thousand Jieyin battling Nuwa.
Nuwa, on the other hand, did the same, revealing her true form: a human body with a snake tail, wielding the Creation Cauldron, the Precious Lotus Lamp, and the Red Embroidery Saber all at once.
From the very beginning of their battle, Nuwa was Jieyin being overwhelmed by Nuwa.
The two were originally of equal strength, so this shouldn't have happened, but Nuwa's cheat code was just too powerful.
Given that they were at the same level, Nuwa possessed several top-tier spiritual treasures, as well as a supreme Innate Supreme Treasure that she had crafted herself, so she naturally handled it with ease.
After Donghua broke the formation, he reappeared in the chaos. His ancient and majestic body inspired awe and fear. This battle solidified Donghua's status as the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable.
Previously, he had only self-proclaimed the title, but from today onward, even without self-proclaiming it, the title of Great Heavenly Venerate will be firmly established.
"Jieyin Brother Jieyin, are you still going to fight?" Donghua looked at Jieyin, who was in the middle of the battle, with a mocking expression, as if he was about to make a move at any moment.
In fact, if Jieyin continued the battle, Donghua was indeed prepared to take action and join forces with Nuwa to Jieyin without any hesitation.
Jieyin his full power, repelling Nuwa, and then retreated to the side, dividing the battlefield.
Jieyin around at the battlefield, and his face darkened instantly after he saw the situation.
He didn't contribute anything to the battle from beginning to end. First, he was sealed by Donghua, and then he was held back by Nuwa. He had no sense of participation at all.
Those who are unaware of this situation might assume that the Jieyin was sent by Donghua.
"Senior Brother Donghua, what a Gao Ming move! We in the Western Region concede defeat and voluntarily withdraw from the battle of reincarnation. Is that acceptable?" Jieyin said, Jieyin his hands together and looking at Donghua.
In fact, by now, they all understand that they have lost.
They thought that the five of them working together could fight against Donghua Nuwa, but they didn't expect that she had also made preparations and had corresponding tactics.
Given the coordination between Donghua and Nuwa, who would believe there wasn't prior planning?
Donghua didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, he glanced at Nuwa. He had already anticipated this battle, especially the fact that the two from the Western Region would betray their alliance with him.
Therefore, he had already discussed with Nuwa how to deal with the situation. Now that the battle was over and it was time to divide the spoils of victory, he naturally needed to mediate the internal conflicts to prevent internal clashes from erupting before outsiders had even left.
Nuwa thought for a moment, then nodded, indicating her agreement with Jieyin's suggestion.
Both sides know that the battle has essentially come to an end and there are no further major changes.
Especially since both sides are Immortal and Undying Hunyuan Saint and Heavenly Emperor, they won't fight to the death, or rather, they won't continue fighting, since both sides are people who can afford to lose.
If they were to truly fight to the death at this moment, with his peak strength at the Hunyuan Triple Heaven, Donghua would have nothing to fear.
Moreover, if it were truly a battle to the death, it wouldn't take place in the chaos, but in the Primordial Wilderness!
Because the Primordial Wilderness is beneficial to both sides, it's just a matter of who will have the last laugh!
Seeing Nuwa nod, Donghua turned his gaze to Houtu. He saw that Houtu's shoulder was covered in blood and her face was slightly pale. Clearly, Houtu's injuries from the battle with Zhunti were not light either.
However, it's understandable. Although Houtu's realm is high, she has only just Attain Hunyuan Dao, and she hasn't even been able to fully convert all the magic power in her body into Hunyuan Magical Power.
It's already quite impressive that Houtu was able to defeat Zhunti, since sometimes one's level of attainment isn't the only factor.
Realm is realm, and combat power is combat power!
Houtu didn't see Donghua looking over, she smiled slightly but didn't speak. Her mind was completely immersed in the Great Dao, dealing with the karmic power that Zhunti had left on her shoulder.
The main reason was that she didn't care about the post-war benefits, because she knew that without Donghua and Nuwa, the power of reincarnation and the underworld would not fall into her hands.
The Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints would directly kick them out of the game, then divide up the power cleanly, treating themselves as mascots of reincarnation and the underworld.
Therefore, the current outcome is the best. After Donghua and his team win, they will definitely take the lion's share, but at least they won't be kicked out of the competition.
Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Donghua then looked at Jieyin and said, "Since Junior Brother has made such a condition, as his senior brother, I cannot refuse!"
"I agree to let you leave, but on the condition that the Western Region never again be involved in matters of reincarnation. Otherwise, I will sever your lineage and ensure that Buddhist Teachings ceases to exist in the Primordial Wilderness!"
"Is it even possible?"
A look of pain crossed the Jieyin's face. This was the last thing he wanted to see, but it had happened anyway, and it was the worst possible outcome.
They were kicked out immediately!
But now that things have come to this, there's no point in him saying anything; he might as well accept it calmly.
Besides, aren't there the Three Pure Ones?
He refused to believe that Donghua and the other two could monopolize reincarnation and the underworld. If that were the case, what would be the point of having Saint in the Primordial Wilderness?
But this is just wishful thinking; in any case, the underworld and the power of reincarnation have nothing to do with the Western Region anymore.
"Very well, since Senior Brother Donghua says so, then this humble Daoist agrees. From now on, the Western Region will not interfere with the authority over reincarnation and the authority over the Underworld!"
Donghua laughed and said, "Very well, Jieyin Brother Jieyin is a straightforward person. In that case, please proceed!"
Donghua removed the chaos sealed by the Chaos Bell and made way for a path.
Without Jieyin, Jieyin stepped forward to Zhunti up, and in a flash, he left the chaos.
With the Western Two Saints withdrawing from the struggle, only the Three Pure Ones remained!
Donghua glanced at Taishang, who was still healing, and said softly, "Senior Brother Taishang, is there anything else you would like to instruct us on today? If not, shall we conclude here?"
Donghua lacked the arrogance of a victor; his voice was flat, devoid of any emotion, as if he were speaking to a wooden figure.
Taishang stopped healing and stood up inside the Heaven and Earth Cauldron. He then slowly said, "Junior Brother Donghua, we have lost this battle, but do you intend to monopolize the Underworld and the power of reincarnation?"
Donghua, with his hands behind his back, said, "Since Senior Brother has admitted defeat, why bother with all this? Does Senior Brother not care about losing?"
Taishang lowered his head slightly, not in a hurry to answer. Losing was losing, and he, Taishang, was not someone who couldn't accept defeat. The main problem was that the matter was really difficult to resolve!
At this moment, Yuanshi, who was sealed within the Five Directions Innate Banners, spoke up, "Donghua, do you really think you can seal us away? One hundred years? One thousand years? Ten thousand years? One Yuanhui?"
"We, the Three Pure Ones, are born from the primordial spirit of our Father God, and we will never suffer such humiliation! If you want to fight, then fight! Why waste words!"
Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Donghua chuckled but didn't rush to retort.
The main point is that Yuanshi is right; they couldn't possibly seal away Taishang and Yuanshi. It's only a matter of time before they break free.
Even if they could seal it for a long time, Donghua wouldn't do it, mainly because there's someone above them.
Master Hongjun!
Hongjun would not agree to seal two Saints at once.
From a public perspective, this would mean the Primordial Wilderness would lack two Saints, which would be detrimental to Primordial Wilderness development and advancement. Furthermore, it would leave the Heavenly Dao incomplete, since the Heavenly Dao is spiritless, and Saint, Act as Heaven's Emissary, are also part of the Heavenly Dao!
Personally speaking, the Three Pure Ones are different from the Western Two Saints. They are all direct disciples of Hongjun. This is fratricide. If they really anger Hongjun, after the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, the Saint will not appear in the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness. Moreover, if they take the Saint-Slaying Pill, it will be terrible.
The main reason is that Donghua neither has the strength nor the need to resist Hongjun!
But no matter what, we can't back down now.
Donghua snorted coldly, said nothing, and simply glanced calmly at Houtu. Then, with a wave of his hand, the power of spacetime surged, and a spacetime passage appeared between Chaos and the Primordial Wilderness.
With a wave of his hand, Donghua sent the Five Directions Innate Banners and the Pure World White Lotus, along with the sealed Yuanshi, into the passage.
The passage connects to the newly established Five Paths of Reincarnation.
"Boom!"
With a soft sound, the sealed Yuanshi was placed within the Five Paths of Reincarnation.
Then Houtu flew up and returned to the cycle of reincarnation, where she used the Reincarnation Seal to empower the five paths of reincarnation, completely sealing off all exits.
"Brother Yuanshi, I know that you wield the Pangu Banner and it's only a matter of time before you break free from the seal. However, I advise you that the cycle of reincarnation has only just been established, Houtu has not yet fully stabilized the cycle."
"If you forcibly break the seal, be careful not to destroy the cycle of reincarnation, otherwise you will be condemned by heaven and earth, burdened by karma, and I fear your Position of Sage will be in jeopardy."
Upon hearing Donghua's words, not only Yuanshi fell silent, but even the sealed Taishang felt a chill instantly rise in his heart, fearing that Donghua might do the same to him.
The Primordial Wilderness is not only home to the Five Paths of Reincarnation, the Sea Eye of the Four Seas, the Volcano of Immortality in Southern Heaven, but also Buzhou Mountain.
These places are all under Donghua's rule. If he were to be suppressed in the Volcano of Immortality and sealed off, and then placed under Yuanfeng's supervision, he really wouldn't dare to act rashly.
If he were to trigger the eruption of the Volcano of Immortality, he was absolutely certain that Hongjun would skin him alive, and even the Heavenly Dao would not easily let him go. At that time, he would truly become the common enemy of the Primordial Wilderness.
When the onlookers heard Donghua's words, they all gasped in shock.
Donghua's move was a bit shameless, but it really worked, and it was truly ruthless.
That's too ruthless!
If Donghua really did that, he might actually be able to seal away Taishang and Yuanshi.
At this moment, everyone looked at Donghua with eyes full of awe.
If before it was out of awe for Donghua's strength and status, then at this moment it is out of awe for Donghua himself.
Donghua took in everyone's glances and sighed inwardly, "Indeed, if you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. No matter when or where, you have to be a little tough. Being too kind and compassionate will only make you a pushover!"
Donghua ignored the others and turned to Taishang, asking, "Senior Brother Taishang, can we have a proper chat now?"
Taishang closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Alright, now that things have come to this, I won't waste any more time. We only want 10% of the reincarnation power and 20% of the underworld power. If you agree, the matter is over. If you don't agree, then even if I have to give up this position, I will fight you again!"
Decisive and resolute!
Donghua greatly admired Taishang's pragmatism and approach. People are not afraid of losing, because no one is always victorious, and no one can win forever; losing is inevitable.
Even Hongjun legendary emperor) lost before, didn't he?
And how many times has Donghua lost along the way? He has even faced perilous situations and almost died on several occasions.
So losing isn't scary!
What's scary is not being able to accept defeat!
What's terrifying is that you've lost your heart too!
When Donghua was first reincarnated, although he inherited the original body's strength, he couldn't fully utilize it because he lacked the Dao Heart.
Without the Dao Heart and the spirit of a strong person, even with Tongtian strength, defeat is only a matter of time!
Donghua said solemnly, "Since Senior Brother Taishang has said so, Donghua is not an unreasonable person. I can even give up 20% of the power of reincarnation, but on the condition that the three senior brothers do not interfere with the operation of reincarnation and the underworld without cause."
"Of course, if in the future, if Donghua, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, or Houtu do anything wrong, you three senior brothers can point it out, and we can discuss and resolve it together."
"Is that alright?"
Taishang's expression changed, and his heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected Donghua to say that.
At this moment, he was truly impressed by Donghua.
It's not just about ability, but also about character!
Taishang said softly, "Very well, Junior Brother Donghua, you're quite agreeable. Then, on behalf of the Three Pure Ones, I accept your offer. We'll do as you say!"
The two made a verbal agreement, without any vows, but it was better than any vow.
Saint's every word and deed embodies the Way!
Once words are spoken, Heavenly Dao will respond.
At this moment, the cycle of reincarnation has come to a complete end.
It cannot be said that the curtain has fallen, because the internal division is not yet complete, and a strong fortress often breaks from within.
If internal affairs are not handled properly, the next battle could leave Donghua facing six saints alone.
At that time, unless Donghua possessed the power to suppress everything, everything else was nonsense.
One against six, all of whom are Saint, if one's cultivation level cannot absolutely suppress them, Donghua will undoubtedly lose.
Seeing that everything was resolved, Nuwa removed the Map of Mountains and Rivers and took back the seal on the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.
Taishang flew out and retrieved the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and other spiritual treasures that had been left in the chaos, then turned to look at Tongtian.
At this moment, Tongtian's face was pale, Saint Blood was dripping, his aura was weak, and his body was surrounded by fierce, Sha Qi, and killing intent.
Clearly, Tongtian's injuries were not only inflicted by Donghua, but also suffered from the backlash of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array.
Taishang said nothing, took out a golden pill and gave it to Tongtian, then used the Taiqing Great Dao to infuse it into Tongtian's body.
The combination of the Taiqing Dao and the Shangqing Great Dao instantly dispelled the sword energy and Sha Qi permeating Tongtian's body.
The two then left the chaos on their own!
Yuanshi, who had been exiled into the cycle of reincarnation, was released by Houtu, and Donghua retrieved the Five Directions Innate Banners and the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.
The war of reincarnation has ended!
P. S.: I'm sorry, I was rushing to catch a train today and spent the whole day traveling. I just finished writing this at the hotel.
