Chapter 166 The Emperor's Choice

For ten days straight, nothing happened.

Except that in the sky, the river became more and more majestic. When Wei Yuan looked up, he could see jiaolong (mythical dragons) had already appeared in the waters of the sky. Under the drive of the water god Gonggong, the aquatic creatures were evolving at a terrifying speed.

Now, satellites can photograph underground tunnels, and the planet of the human realm has finally further embraced the star ring.

It’s like he just got a new haircut after all these years.

A cause for celebration, a cause for celebration...

Like hell it is.

Wei Yuan sighed to the sky, "This is too outrageous..." He looked at the old street not far away. In Wu Zhao's courtyard, the girl was still going out as usual, showing no sign of planning to give him the Nuwa soil. Even Bai Ze, who was unwilling to work overtime, had urged him several times.

"Nuwa soil..."

The young A-Liang was a little puzzled, "...Could it be? No way."

He muttered to himself, "That person is not the type to sacrifice herself willingly."

"Or did I guess wrong..."

In the sky, a huge blue whale swam through the celestial waters. On its massive body, there was already a tendency to transform into a jiao. In ten days, Gonggong had only broken free with one hand from the seal more than ten days ago, but now he had probably recovered half of his strength.

Wei Yuan had contacted the Zhurong Project. Zeus's scepter, Poseidon's trident, and the blacksmith's hammer of Hephaestus, one of the twelve Olympian gods, had completed the initial melting and were now frantically starting to weave the foundation of the formation. The Hongmeng supercomputer and the Pangu supercomputer had been running at maximum power.

But, it still needed time.

……………………

"What? Nine-Five-Two-Seven, ah no, I mean, A-Zhong, you're leaving?"

The plump floor manager was stunned.

Before she could even try to persuade him to stay, the God Who Holds Up the Sky had already waved his hand casually and said, "Hide in the basement recently. With that guy's personality, even if he wants to take down Shenzhou (China), he wouldn't bother attacking mortals. But, well, afterwards you might grow a few extra organs, which would be more suitable for living underwater."

"Huh?"

Before she could react, the God Who Holds Up the Sky had already walked out.

He casually patted an old gym-goer who frequented the place, saying, "Remember, focus on the power in your shoulders and back here. If there's a problem, remember to correct it, or you'll run into issues." The flowing energy stimulated the muscle tissue, leaving the weightlifting athlete astonished, "This, you, no, you..."

"Do you usually lift weights too?"

"Lift? I've been lifting for a long time, every day."

The gym-goers were filled with reverence.

The God Who Holds Up the Sky walked out, stretched, and his eyes were indifferent, "Mythological concepts..."

"Heh... Gonggong, I'll fulfill the first contract first."

……………………

Qingqiu Country.

The sudden, terrifying roar, like a harbinger of the end of the world, shook the entire Qingqiu Country. As the largest small world attached to the human realm, the entire world was shaking violently at this moment. Nüjiao transformed into a streak of light and flew out directly. The Shennong Whip in her hand suddenly expanded, turning into a green light that wrapped around the world.

"This is..."

Her pupils constricted, and she suddenly looked up.

The God Who Holds Up the Sky, mythological concept unleashed—

Title: Pangu.

The terrifying power, so immense that it directly contended with a small world with brute force, made the earth and sky tremble. Nüjiao forcibly endured, her silver teeth clenched tightly. Amidst a burst of loud laughter, a residual image of a fist fiercely smashed down, seemingly trying to kill Nüjiao directly, but it was blocked by another figure.

The remnant body of Chi You moved in response.

Sensing a power that could threaten the human realm, it naturally appeared.

Originally, at the same time, the attacker would have been naturally absorbed by Gonggong, whose consciousness had not yet recovered, but now, Gonggong had already revived, so he was no longer restrained. Chi You acted instinctively, and the God Who Holds Up the Sky laughed loudly, "Well done!"

A fierce punch.

The vast power capable of holding up the sky.

Chi You's remnant body crossed its arms and retreated violently, its feet plowing deep furrows in the ground.

And the identity of the attacker was finally revealed.

Nüjiao looked up at the tall figure, her pupils constricted, and she whispered through gritted teeth:

"The God Who Holds Up the Sky..."

The God Who Holds Up the Sky, Zhong.

Ranked seventeenth in the age of gods.

Strength level: Top tier.

Unparalleled power, once supported the sky.

Surpassed Dijun and Fuxi in pure physical strength.

Jade light rose from the Shennong Whip, then turned a dark, ominous color, like the most poisonous thing in the world, and was also one of the few forces that could restrain the God Who Holds Up the Sky. In that instant, the heroic and cloud-piercing God Who Holds Up the Sky, after smashing through Chi You's body, directly carried three weapons and turned to retreat.

Extremely decisive.

He retreated in a hurry, without the slightest hesitation.

"The human race attains the Dao (path) through skill, transforming into concepts. I want to see how much strength Chi You's body has left after losing the martial arts of a hundred weapons." The God Who Holds Up the Sky laughed loudly. As an existence who had once forced King Yu to choose not to confront him with just his distant aura, he knew the weakness of Chi You's body in an instant.

Even if he was once a top expert in the three realms, how much of his skill could remain if he only had instinct left?

Nüjiao couldn't catch up and could only watch the God Who Holds Up the Sky leave.

Lowering her head, she saw a crack that almost spanned the entire small world. The body of Chi You, unable to find an opponent, roared loudly, almost losing control, but was forcibly suppressed. Nüjiao looked at the crack in the earth, her gaze frozen for a long time, and said, "...Several weapons are missing."

An old man replied in a low voice, "Among Chi You's ten demonic weapons..."

"The blade of the hegemon, the sword of the emperor, and the spear of the king have been lost."

"All that's left are second-tier weapons."

"..." The white-haired fox girl looked up.

Her heart sank slightly.

War had already begun...

In a way that exceeded everyone's expectations—

The Qingqiu Fox Country separated from the human realm.

Millions of people witnessed the spectacle of a giant carrying the sky and running.

The God Who Holds Up the Sky activated all mythological concepts, using boundless power to forcibly push the Qingqiu Fox Country away from the human realm, and then used Chi You's demonic weapons to sever the connection between the two worlds. After this happened, Longhu Mountain immediately noticed the problem and went to the vicinity of the Qingqiu Fox Country.

Even Wei Yuan and A-Liang in the museum received a message.

The terrifying tremor of a world being forcibly pushed away made the entire human realm seem to experience an earthquake at the same time. Zhuge Wuhou quickly went to the meditation room to try to reconnect with the Qingqiu Country. Wei Yuan went to Qingqiu, and in this suddenly arising chaos, no one knew that a figure had taken the initiative to leave the old street.

…………………

Chaos, bewilderment, a blank space.

It was like being dead, or like being heavily suppressed in a dream.

It was like what ordinary people call sleep paralysis.

The girl A-Zhao was clearly thinking about some thoughts a moment ago, but when she opened her eyes again, she saw an incomparably tall man sitting cross-legged on the table, looking at her with a smile. The latter was also holding a weapon in his hand, and there was a wound on his shoulder, but he didn't care.

"Yo, Wu Zhao, you're here."

The tall man nodded with a smile, "It's time for you to make a choice."

"Right, aren't you on pretty good terms with that potter now?"

"I want you to help him revive the First Emperor, and then steal his human emperor aura at the same time using the methods of the age of gods. Although your achievements are completely incomparable to the First Emperor, but, after all, you are a monarch who was once recognized by this land. With preparation against the unprepared, it can still be done."

"Also, kill Wuhou by the way."

"This sword that Chi You used when he was called the Lord of Jiuli is enough to kill that person's soul. I will inject a divine power into your body, so that even the potter won't be able to stop you."

He casually threw down Chi You's demonic weapon.

A-Zhao realized that this person was the one who revived her. Her memories had long been restored, and the childishness in her eyes slowly disappeared, becoming as deep as the dark night. She said slowly, "Why do you think I would agree to your request?"

"No, no, no, why do you think I'm asking for your opinion?"

The God Who Holds Up the Sky appeared in front of the girl at a speed she couldn't comprehend.

He raised his hand and tapped her forehead with his thick finger.

Then, as if the events of that time were replayed, the girl's bones broke all over her body, and her consciousness was emptied. The God Who Holds Up the Sky clenched his five fingers and pulled violently. The experiences of this period of time, those painful or difficult things, all emotions and consciousness were pulled out like film.

The pupils of the girl A-Zhao became empty.

The God Who Holds Up the Sky's voice was indifferent, "It was I who resurrected you. Why do you think a puppet can rebel against a god? In the five thousand years of holding up the sky, I've seen at least ten people like you."

"Apologies for the past? That's not needed."

Five fingers clenched, and a piece of memory and thought was crushed.

"Nostalgia for the potter, ha... This kind of thing is also not needed."

Fingers collided, and the memory screen disappeared like a bubble.

Then the God Who Holds Up the Sky murmured indifferently, "This is hatred, hatred for the human world, hatred for why the human emperor's weapon does not belong to you. This is anger, anger at this world, why you cannot get what you seek. This is your resentment, resentment against all things."

"After you go back, you will pretend that nothing happened."

"You will choose to hand over a part of the Nuwa soil, but that is only false. At the same time, when the First Emperor has problems, you will use Chi You's demonic weapon to kill Zhuge Liang. Don't worry, I will cover up the secrets of heaven for you and teach you a force. In pure power, even Fuxi is no match for me."

The God Who Holds Up the Sky whispered, with the loneliness and arrogance of a god at the corner of his mouth:

"Becoming an emperor, isn't that your wish?"

"I will give you such a world."

Five fingers clenched, memory reshaped, personality reshaped.

A-Zhao closed her eyes. When she slowly opened them, what emerged in her eyes was tyranny, hatred, and unwillingness, just as the God Who Holds Up the Sky had hoped. Everything was in his control. After that, he would kill Wuhou, abolish the human emperor, and by the way, use the fully open mythological concept to attack on both sides with Gonggong.

The God Who Holds Up the Sky withdrew his hand.

At this moment, something that could never happen happened.

His expression suddenly froze.

A short sword pierced his abdomen. Before his eyes was a hateful, tyrannical, and crazy girl. What erupted from her body was the divine power that the God Who Holds Up the Sky had just injected into her. It was also this divine power that allowed her to pierce him with this dagger.

"You...!!!" The God Who Holds Up the Sky miscalculated.

Divine might weighed a thousand times.

Humans, on the other hand, were small as grass throughout their lives, small, weak, and insignificant.

The girl's personality had been distorted, and her emotions had undergone a complete reversal. In terms of supernatural concepts, this was indeed the case, but there was something that neither love, regret, nor hatred could reverse, and it still burned like a raging flame in her heart.

Even if she harbored hatred and desire for the world, it had never changed.

"You... presumptuous!"

The God Who Holds Up the Sky struck back. If the girl in front of him didn't want to be pierced through the chest by him, she could only retreat. Wu Zhao held the short sword in both hands, and a series of images flashed before her eyes. This was a sword forged by the Mount Tai Mountain God with the legends of the Mount Tai Fengchan (imperial sacrifice).

'Perhaps, it can allow you to walk out of fate...'

But, but ah,

Mount Tai God, you are not my old friend after all.

How could the female emperor choose to retreat?

The young smiling question floated in her ears, if it were you, how would you subdue this horse?

She suddenly stepped forward, and the short sword in her hand, the sword that the Mount Tai Mountain God said might offer a glimmer of hope, directly pierced deeper, almost sacrificing her own life as well. How could this body withstand the power of the God Who Holds Up the Sky?

The tyranny in her eyes could not hide the flame that had been burning from beginning to end. It seemed as if she had returned to that deep palace, the old and aged female emperor, but there was always a flame burning in her eyes like at this moment.

"I am also a Yanhuang emperor."

The girl's eyes burned with the most brilliant flames, and she did not cowardly retreat.

Grand and upright, the spirit of Yanhuang.

An emperor to the end.

"How dare you!!!"

"Barbarian!"

ps: Second update today...

emm, there was a mistake in the comments of the previous chapter, the mountain god is loyal to Shenzhou (China), not the human race.
