The Human Emperor's Thoughts Are Overheard by Nuwa

"Fellow Daoists, wasn't what you two did rather improper?"

"As Nuwa said, Ancestral Dragon was a creature of our East, yet you two suppressed him here. The dead are gone, so let him go."

Yuanshi Tianzun's voice rumbled across the sky.

He was evidently somewhat dissatisfied with the actions of the two Sages of the West as well.

Over countless years, the two Sages of the West had repeatedly come east to plunder.

Their usual petty raids were one thing.

But they had actually brought Ancestral Dragon's corpse to the West. Such a thing was absolutely intolerable.

The Red Embroidered Ball and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi hung in front of the two Sages of the West, blocking their actions.

Both supreme Dharma treasures radiated boundless might.

The two Sages of the West ultimately fell silent for a long while.

For a moment, all of heaven and earth in the Primordial World seemed to fall silent with them.

Just then, Ancestral Dragon suddenly raised his head and roared at the sky.

In an instant, he swept up boundless fortune and sped east.

In the blink of an eye, he had vanished at the edge of heaven and earth.

Although they did not know what had brought Ancestral Dragon back from the dead,

his reappearance was bound to send another shock through the Primordial World.

Just as the many mighty figures watching this matter sighed,

Saint Jieyin, who had barely made his presence felt, let out a long sigh.

His eyes, which had remained narrowed, opened slightly, and his sorrowful, suffering visage vanished.

In its place was the wrathful visage of a vajra.

A vast, immense presence gradually emanated from him.

It slowly formed a supreme figure behind him.

It was an eternal Buddha that reached the heavens.

It held prayer beads in its hand, stood upon a lotus pedestal, and had the Jieyin Treasure Banner above its head.

A sorrowful, despairing presence spread out.

It made all living beings in the Primordial World feel: you suffer, I suffer, all beings suffer.

Having manifested his Buddha Dharma form, Saint Jieyin cast a casual glance at Nuwa.

Then he fixed his gaze on the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"Our Western Teachings will remember this. You two should leave now. You are not welcome in the West!"

With that, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Saint Zhunti, behind him, still seemed unwilling to accept it.

But in the end, he said nothing and turned to leave with Saint Jieyin.

This time, they had truly lost both the bride and their soldiers.

First, they had plotted against Nuwa, only to have the Human Emperor expose them to their faces.

Saint Zhunti had come off worse in his battle with Nuwa and lost face.

Then they had lost the Green Lotus Treasure Banner and the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.

After that, Great Mount Sumeru, the Western Teachings' Dao ground, had collapsed, and Ancestral Dragon, whom they had suppressed since time immemorial, had flown away for mysterious reasons.

It was remarkable enough that the Two Sages of the West had managed to rein in their anger and refrain from striking again.

In the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun gave a cold snort but said nothing more.

The main task now was to pursue Ancestral Dragon.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.

Nuwa, meanwhile, seemed to have realized something as well.

With a wave of her hand, she drew Ye Xuan to her, then likewise transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.

And so a great battle between Sages came to an end.

Nuwa and the Human Emperor's journey west had fulfilled their wishes and settled the karma.

The Two Sages of the West had lost both the bride and their soldiers.

Even after Nuwa and the Human Emperor had departed, Saint Zhunti still found it hard to quell the anger in his heart.

Looking at the devastated ruins of Great Mount Sumeru, Saint Zhunti asked gloomily:

"Senior brother, what should we do about this?"

Ancestral Dragon had flown away, their Dao ground had been destroyed, and Great Mount Sumeru had become a complete mess.

Saint Jieyin pondered for a moment before finally speaking calmly:

"Have no worries, junior brother. Watch your senior brother's divine powers."

With that, he pressed his palms together, and supreme Dharma power burst forth in an instant.

The entire western land began to tremble violently once more.

The foundations of Great Mount Sumeru shook especially hard. The earth quaked and the mountains swayed, as though the end of the world had come again.

A moment later, the foundations of Great Mount Sumeru actually began to rise.

Bolstered by a mysterious power, the ruined Great Mount Sumeru began to recover.

Before long, it had formed another enormous spirit vein, though its Dao resonance, spiritual Qi, and the presence of its ancient heritage

were all a notch below what they had been before.

Saint Jieyin looked solemn.

"Today, the Dao ground of Great Mount Sumeru is rebuilt and renamed Spirit Mountain."

"All disciples of the Western Teachings must remember the humiliation of this day."

At Saint Jieyin's words, the many disciples scattered sparsely around Spirit Mountain pressed their palms together and knelt!

Deep in the void, an auspicious cloud was flying at great speed.

Two people stood upon it. One was Empress Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the Human Race.

The other was Di Xin, the current Human Emperor.

Both were extremely quiet.

Nuwa was intent on finding Ancestral Dragon and did not speak to the Human Emperor.

But her brows were slightly furrowed, for she could not sense Ancestral Dragon's presence at all.

She was utterly perplexed.

She was an omniscient and omnipotent Sage, a Sage who could endure countless tribulations without wearing down and pass through eternity without perishing, yet she could not even find Ancestral Dragon?

Could another Sage have suppressed him first?

Nuwa was somewhat puzzled.

But in the end, she could only give up.

Even in her dreams, she probably would not have imagined that Ancestral Dragon had long since entered Ye Xuan's system space.

Nuwa turned her head slightly to look at the Human Emperor beside her.

A puzzled look showed in her eyes.

Saint Zhunti had taken action today and even blinded the Heavenly Dao. How had the Human Emperor discovered it?

And this fellow also knew that Zhunti had stolen her merit from Mending the Heavens ages ago. It was truly strange.

Even she, who had been involved, had not known about these things, yet the Human Emperor did.

Everyone had probably underestimated this Human Emperor.

The current Human Emperor surely had a secret unknown to others.

Ye Xuan, meanwhile, was racking his brains and muttering inwardly.

He had finally made it through the first plot event after transmigrating: offering incense at Nuwa Palace.

Although the process had been somewhat bumpy, he had at least avoided offending Nuwa. Surely Nuwa would not try to kill him now?

As Ye Xuan thought this, a faint smile touched the corners of his mouth.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was about to begin. Time was truly running short, and he had to hurry and prepare, or he really would become a sinner for all eternity.

Nuwa, beside Ye Xuan, suddenly froze, and a strange look entered her eyes as she gazed at him.

For she had heard another of the Human Emperor's thoughts.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin. Time is truly running short, and I have to hurry and prepare, or I really will become a sinner for all eternity.

Hearing the Human Emperor's voice, Nuwa was truly astonished.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had only just passed down the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.

The Sages had only just signed the Investiture of the Gods.

Apart from the Sages, no one else could possibly have known.

How, then, did the Human Emperor know about the Investiture of the Gods?

Could the current Human Emperor possess the ability to see the course of the future?
