Chapter 150: Chapter 142: Era of Permanence: Donghuang Taiyi

[Clang, clang, clang——]

[With the tolling of a bell that resonated through the heavens and earth.]

[A towering, illusory figure slowly stepped out, and all the Golden Crows gathered around as if they had found their last refuge.]

["Father, your child is useless!" The Great Golden Crow’s eyes shimmered with tears, gazing at the illusory figure with endless grief in its voice.]

["Donghuang Taiyi?!"]

[The faces of the ten Ancient Gods in the camp of the Northern Ancient God all changed drastically, their terror apparent.]

[Donghuang Taiyi slowly opened his eyes.]

[Looking down from above.]

[Indifferently gazing at those ten Ancient Gods.]

["Do you know your mistakes?"]

[Although there was no aura, all the Ancient Gods and their descendants present instinctively held their breath, recalling the day when "East" transmitted the Dharma to them, taught them words, as their respected brother.]

[Most of the Ancient God’s descendants knelt down, begging for forgiveness; they were "Eastern Emperor’s Subjects", and their tribes sang the praises of "Taiyi" through generations, that was the only faith and worship in the Eternal Night World.]

[The Northern Ancient God surveyed the few remaining spirits in this world, looked up and roared in anger, "You are nothing but a strand of your brother’s magical power, even if Donghuang Taiyi himself were here, so what?!"]

["Donghuang Taiyi is nothing more than one of the Innate Ancient Gods, he just started cultivation a billion years earlier than us."]

["We are all Innate Ancient Gods; after countless ages of cultivation, by joining forces, we can certainly match him, and maybe even defeat him."]

[The other nine Innate Ancient Gods, upon hearing this, were all filled with fervor, each revealing their true Ancient God form, their auras soaring.]

["Donghuang Taiyi!!"]

[Before the voice faded.]

[Donghuang Taiyi slowly raised his hand, pressing down lightly.]

[Boom!]

[The Profound Yellow Grand Bell smashed down like Mount Tai, shaking the heavens and earth.]

[Its power was so great that it instantly severely wounded the Northern Ancient God, causing his body to tremble violently, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.]

["You are just a manifestation of his magical power, how can you possess such terrifying strength?!" The bones of the Northern Ancient God creaked under the strain, his Primordial Spirit on the verge of collapse, his face filled with disbelief, his roar echoing across the sky.]

["This is impossible!!" The other Ancient Gods, witnessing this scene, were all shocked.]

[Not knowing what inconceivable realm brother "Donghuang Taiyi" had cultivated to.]

[Obviously, they were now ten thousand times stronger than the true form of the past "East", yet the gap between them and Donghuang Taiyi had not narrowed, but instead had become even more unfathomable, like an insurmountable chasm.]

[The Golden Crows and Cloud Birds were equally amazed by their father’s power.]

[The Innate Ancient Gods survived from the same era as their father and mother; their power should be roughly equal, and if only considering the "true form of Ancient Gods", their father and mother would be weaker by a significant measure.]

[No wonder the Ancient Gods showed such loyalty when mentioning their father.]

[The Great Golden Crow blamed himself, wondering why he didn’t use the "Supreme Treasure" left by his father earlier.]

["We killed Donghuang’s Descendants together, thinking of the past ’oh’. With Donghuang Taiyi’s domineering character, if he finds out about this, he certainly won’t let us go! Act together!" The Northern Ancient God staggered, almost exhausted, urging the others, who were still immersed in shock, to act.]

[The faces of the Ancient Gods turned pale.]

[Each controlled the great powers of water, mountains, thunder, wood, wind, and gold... forming a torrent, pressing towards Donghuang Taiyi.]

[The Golden Crows and Cloud Birds shivered beside Donghuang Taiyi, feeling that soul-stirring power, their faces turning as pale as paper. These uncles, Ancient Gods from the same era as their father and mother, showed such terrifying power.]

[Before the "Era of Permanence," there was the "Chaotic Era," which had no concept of time. Even if they were Donghuang’s children, how could the time of their birth compare to those Ancient Gods who had experienced ages?]

[Donghuang Taiyi gently shook his head, and a Great Sun slowly rose from the horizon, its rays radiant.]

[Boom!]

[That Great Sun collided fiercely with the great powers of the Ancient Gods, and the two sides were instantly locked in a stalemate, unable to gain the upper hand.]

[The bodies of the Ancient Gods and their magical powers cracked bit by bit, their Primordial Spirits violently agitated.]

[Donghuang Taiyi was not doing well either, for it was just a thought of "Donghuang Taiyi"; his form also became more illusory and ethereal, as if ready to be blown away by a breeze.]

[The Ancient Gods noticed this change, each becoming unusually excited, "Brother, you are not invincible!"]

["Brother! We are not wrong!!" Ancient God "Wu", his flesh body like bronze and iron, suddenly leapt forward, his giant fist enveloped in boundless might, roaring towards that Great Sun.]

[The Great Sun exploded with a roar.]

[The Golden Crows, Cloud Birds, and Ancient Gods each were struck and thrown back, crashing heavily into the rocks.]

[After a while, Ancient God "Wu" climbed up, his whole body charred and battered, looking at the dissipating phantom of "Donghuang Taiyi", he let out a long breath.]

["Hahaha!" The Northern Ancient God Kun laughed, "Wu, well done."]

["Donghuang Taiyi... brother... it is we who have won." The other Ancient Gods felt as if a mountain had been lifted from their hearts, muttering to themselves.]

[Ancient God "Qiang" looked at "Donghuang’s Descendants", only the Great Golden Crow barely stood, Qiang said, "How should we deal with brother’s descendants?"]

[The Ancient Gods looked at the Great Golden Crow, exchanging glances, somewhat hesitant.]

["Kill! Kill! Kill!" The descendants of the Ancient Gods, who had obtained the power of "Ferocity", suggested.]

[Immediately, most of the Ancient God’s Descendants followed suit, shouting "Kill."]

[The Northern Ancient God Kun glanced at the dried-up Great Water, seeing his descendants suffer the most severe casualties. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kill!"]

["You must not kill!" The Ancient God "Ugly" blocked "Kun," saying, "Nephew is the sun of the Eternal Night World. If they perish, so will our descendants, one by one. Do you want to return to that dark, lifeless world?"]

["Ugly! Our descendants can die, why can’t his descendants die?" The Northern Ancient God Kun, overwhelmed with anger, questioned, "Ask everyone’s opinion!"]

[The Descendants of the Ancient Gods present had suffered mostly severe deaths or injuries, with even one Ancient God’s descendants completely wiped out in this conflict.]

[That Ancient God, with blazing red eyes, roared and charged at the Great Golden Crow while "Kun" blocked "Ugly."]

[The Great Golden Crow spread its wings, shielding its siblings, its Primordial Spirit shattering at that moment, transforming once more into a dazzling and radiant Great Sun, shining brightly, "I promised Father and Mother to protect my brothers and sisters..."]

["Even if my elder brother comes in person, I will still kill you!" roared the Ancient God. The Great Golden Crow was easily knocked away by the Ancient God, just as the Ancient God prepared to unleash a deadly blow on the Golden Crow clan.]

["Dong!" Along with the sound of the bell ringing, a ripple of nothingness spread out, freezing the Ancient God in place, realizing no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t escape, only his eyeballs could move.]

[Then, three rounds of Great Sun slowly descended from the sky.]

[Donghuang Taiyi’s true form descended, the Magical Power on him spilling due to emotional turbulence, causing the world to tremble slightly.]

[This Magical Power... this aura...]

[The previously arrogant and domineering Ancient God "Kun," at this moment, hung his head low, trembling all over, unable to even entertain the thought of joining forces with other Ancient Gods to oppose "Donghuang Taiyi" himself. Donghuang Taiyi’s power was too terrifying, causing utter despair.]

[As the Magical Power left to the "Elder" by Donghuang Taiyi dissipated, he awoke. Then, he, together with Xixi and Qingqing, swiftly exited the pass and hurried over.] 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

[Donghuang Taiyi surveyed the devastated scene before him, his eyes carrying a hint of fury, and he loudly questioned, "Ugly! What on earth is going on here?!"]

["Big brother..." The Ancient God "Ugly" explained everything that transpired, honestly and without omission.]

[Donghuang Taiyi gazed at the Ancient God who intended to kill his children, his gaze fierce, "I’ve said I dislike conflicts."]

["Dong——" The Ancient God’s body transformed into "wild wind" under the sound of the bell.]

[The other Ancient Gods, witnessing this mighty power, remained silent as if frozen in fear.]

[Meanwhile, Xixi’s gaze settled on the silent, kneeling Great Golden Crow, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart. She desperately searched for "Xiaojiu’s" figure amidst the panicked Golden Crow group but could not find him.]

[At that moment, her tears fell like broken beads, crying uncontrollably.]

[Xixi looked towards the Northern Ancient God "Kun," only to see a round white Great Sun suddenly smashing towards him!]

[The Northern Ancient God "Kun" dared not retaliate, his life force rapidly waning, on the verge of death, yet stubbornly glared at Donghuang Taiyi, shouting with anger, "Big brother, we did nothing wrong!!"]

[In the final moment of the Northern Ancient God "Kun’s" life, he exerted all his effort to transform into a massive Big Fish, recklessly crashing into the Celestial Vault, choosing to self-destruct, with its incredible power, blasting the Celestial Vault into a gaping, shocking hole.]

["Boom!" Suddenly, a surge of Chaos-colored Great Water rose between Heaven and Earth, surging like a runaway beast, submerging everything in its endless torrent.]

[The world rapidly shrunk.]

Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand.

Dong dong dong——

A Profound Yellow Grand Bell suddenly rose, stabilizing the Heaven and Earth he was in, yet unable to prevent the world’s destruction.]

Great Chaotic Water, vast and unceasing.]

The Ancient Gods gradually became illusory, their children, Golden Crow, and Cloud Bird also disappeared, his "Profound Yellow Grand Bell" unable to provide shelter from the rampaging Great Chaotic Water.]

Unknown how long.]

Xixi and Qingqing’s figures also quietly vanished in Donghuang Taiyi’s embrace; they were too weak.]

The Eternal Night World, only Donghuang Taiyi under the "Profound Yellow Grand Bell" remained.]

At this moment, he could no longer effortlessly melt the "Earth Wall" as he did at birth and create a brand new world.]

He arrived at a sea of "No top or bottom, no distance, no time."]

Donghuang Taiyi diligently searched "on that sea" for a method to "initiate," and "Butian," yet most of the worlds he ventured into lacked the ability.]

Until... he finally saw "One," discovering a way to restore everything.]

Donghuang Taiyi stored the "Profound Yellow Grand Bell" over his head, allowing the Great Chaotic Water to engulf him.]

...]

Da dong.]
