Chapter 151: Chapter 143: I, Donghuang Taiyi, Demand Tribute

"Such an ending..."

Ning Xunqiu closed the Celestial Derivation Volume, his expression indescribable, feeling a strong familiarity with "Donghuang Taiyi’s" predicament.

This... isn’t it just a replica of his experience in the Qingxu Realm?

His daughter would inevitably cause trouble whenever she was outside, but as a father, he couldn’t keep his child grounded forever, could he? Thus, he could only blame his own inadequate strength.

Yet he truly didn’t want to discuss his ailments with "Donghuang Taiyi."

In the Eternal Night World, Donghuang Taiyi was born at the dawn of the world, as an Innate spirit, having cultivated for an unknown period, he was truly invincible during the "Chaotic Era."

The Innate Ancient Gods of the same era ate, slept, fought, mated out of boredom, birthed offspring, all in a state of confusion. After all, they were ageless and immortal, utterly lacking any concept of cultivation.

Meanwhile, Donghuang Taiyi transformed into the Great Sun, surveying the heavens and earth, gaining the wish power of all beings, and refining a "Companion Treasure."

The subjects of the East Emperor continued to develop, progressing civilization, order, and the worship of the sun.

Donghuang Taiyi would naturally attain the Dao in the Eternal Night World.

Ning Xunqiu thought his life’s minimum guarantee this time was a "Golden Life."

He had already prepared himself mentally...

Never expected that with the birth of Donghuang Taiyi’s offspring, he merely lazed in rest, simply retreated with his wife for a short time... For a being like him, only a few days had passed.

His children waged war against his brothers, and all beings perished.

One wrong move, and the sky collapsed.

The entire world survived only Donghuang Taiyi...

The world shattered, extraordinarily dangerous, probably only Great Dao Divine beings could survive.

In that newborn world, even the raging winds and thunder from the Barbaric Realm had yet to form. He, a Martial Master, could easily shatter the Celestial Vault with merely the power of a Seventh Realm Divine Person...

The world was indeed fragile...

Thus, did the Qingxu Realm require the Nine Heavens Dao Protection?

Ning Xunqiu’s mind was awash with random thoughts, but he quickly shook his head, dismissing them.

He was envious of "Donghuang Taiyi’s" Companion Treasure, condensed from the wish power of all beings.

The Profound Yellow Grand Bell could allow Donghuang Taiyi, who had not attained the Dao, to forcibly survive on that sea.

Moreover, a Red Life had a high probability of extracting this Supreme Treasure.

Ning Xunqiu’s mind stirred, extracting the reward.

[Extracting...]

[Congratulations, you have received a Red Life Achievement Reward—"A Strand of Donghuang Taiyi’s Magical Power!"]

[A Strand of Donghuang Taiyi’s Magical Power]

A fleeting shadow of Donghuang Taiyi descended, akin to a burning Great Sun. This strand of magical power contained world-shaking energy, enough to confront ten Innate Ancient Gods directly, possessing the power to shake the world.

Note: I, Donghuang Taiyi, urgently need fortune to defy the heavens and change fate. I will give you the best at that time.

...

Ning Xunqiu’s mouth twitched slightly.

He first claimed "A Strand of Donghuang Taiyi’s Magical Power."

Clang.

A blazing sun appeared out of nowhere within the Immortal Slaying Sword Map.

Ning Xunqiu used his Primordial Spirit to perceive it closely, though the sun appeared scorching, it was actually gentle, devoid of any burning sensation. This Primordial Spirit Magical Power contained within it rivalled a Great God who had attained the Taiyi Dao Fruit.

Ning Xunqiu’s mind stirred, attempting to activate the sun, and it seemed to effortlessly harness its vast magical power, as if it were at his fingertips.

"Spiritual Magical Power? Can it even be used to activate the Immortal Slaying Sword Map?!"

Ning Xunqiu’s eyes brightened, flickering with surprise.

This had originated from a single thought he had cultivated tirelessly over eons, sharing the same source, equivalent to an external magical power spring.

Ning Xunqiu looked toward the Celestial Derivation Volume concerning Donghuang Taiyi’s life, extracted a thought, and began editing the moment Donghuang Taiyi first encountered Xixi and Qingqing.

[In a mysterious manner, I acquired a thought, knowing the events of the future. To prevent tragedy from recurring, I must stop the war between the ancient gods and the children, halting the collision of the ancient gods with the Celestial Vault.]

Soon, a notification sounded in his ear.

[This is the predetermined reality of Dongyang Realm, it cannot be rewritten.]

"It won’t work?"

Ning Xunqiu frowned, pondered, then arrived at the birth of "Era of Permanence."

[In a mysterious manner, I acquired a thought, knowing the events of the future. To prevent tragedy from recurring, I must stop the war between the ancient gods and the children, halting the collision of the ancient gods with the Celestial Vault.]

...

[Would you like to use 799 fortune to rewrite this piece of life?]

"It can still be rewritten..."

Ning Xunqiu’s heart stirred slightly.

Others reaching the level of "Donghuang Taiyi" would long be unable to rewrite.

Whether due to a reincarnation of one of his thoughts, or Donghuang Taiyi’s failure to attain the Dao.

It’s just that the amount of required fortune is quite high.

Ning Xunqiu tested each section meticulously.

The closer it was to the breaking of the Celestial Vault, the less fortune required.

Until Donghuang Taiyi awoke in the Golden Palace and quickly exited the pass with his wives, his Fortune was barely sufficient to rewrite his life.

[Would you like to use 300 Fortune to rewrite this portion of your life?]

Ning Xunqiu pondered.

"300 points of Fortune for a Golden Life..."

Now while sitting in meditation, closing eyes, opening eyes, years pass by quickly.

The concept of time becomes very blurry, sometimes a whim lasts several days, and it is impossible to wake up every day to rewrite life... Moreover, he cannot unrestrainedly use Fortune to open up a new world "permanently".

He also happened to lack the "Spiritual Magical Power" to drive the Immortal Slaying Sword Map.

Ning Xunqiu weighed his options and made a decision in his heart.

"Rewrite."

[Fortune decreased by 300 points, current Fortune: 27/448]

...

[Within the Golden Palace, three rounds of Great Sun shone together.]

[The middle Great Sun suddenly trembled violently, fell into the palace transforming into Donghuang Taiyi, he opened his eyes, cold sweat streaming.]

[The two rounds of white suns also wake up, transforming into two peerlessly beautiful women, Xixi asked with concern: "Husband, what is wrong?"]

["Quick." Donghuang Taiyi grabbed his two wives and soared into the sky.]

["Dang—" As soon as they arrived, bell sounds reverberated across the heavens and earth.]

[Invisible ripples emanated from the bell sounds, gently expanding outward, freezing a host of Ancient Gods in place, unable to move.]

[Xixi and Qingqing followed closely, witnessing chaos between heaven and earth, they realized major events were amiss, hurriedly inspecting the children beside them, seeing them all injured, and Xiaojiu was nowhere to be found, Xixi was beside herself with anxious tears.]

[Silence engulfed the surroundings.]

[Ancient God "Ugly" opened his mouth to explain: "Big brother..."]

[Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand, "I know it all."]

[His sharp gaze swept over the Ancient God’s Descendants below who luckily clung to life, accompanied by the bell’s booming, one Ancient God suddenly transformed into "fierce wind".]

[The "Evil Arrow" that killed the "Nine Golden Crows" and "Cloud Birds" fell into Donghuang Taiyi’s hands.]

[Donghuang Taiyi gazed down at the gods and their descendants with authority, solemnly saying: "Do you know your mistake?"]

[The Great Golden Crow and Cloud Bird both bowed their heads, showing remorse.]

[And most of the Ancient God’s Descendants also bowed their heads, admitting their errors.]

[Donghuang Taiyi’s gaze landed on the remaining nine Ancient Gods, among them seven Ancient Gods instantly realized their insignificance, promptly admitting fault.]

[Donghuang Taiyi gently raised his hand, and they were firmly bound by the suppressive power of the "Profound Yellow Grand Bell", at this moment, they deeply realized that Donghuang Taiyi was still Donghuang Taiyi.]

[Doubts rose in their hearts, why Donghuang Taiyi’s power far exceeded theirs to such a degree? What on earth was that "Profound Yellow Grand Bell" in his hand?]

[Only Ancient Gods "Kun" and "Strong" refused to admit their mistake.]

["As the Chief of the Gods, it’s your duty to bring light and warmth to the Eternal Night World, it was your reason for creation, Donghuang Taiyi. Yet your descendants have destroyed this world." Ancient God Strong roared.]

["Great Donghuang Taiyi, open your eyes and take a good look at this scarred world. Besides us Ancient Gods and their descendants, who else can barely survive in these ruins?"]

["Those once devout subjects of the Eastern Emperor who worshipped the Great Sun and viewed you as savior, yet in the end fell beneath the sun’s flames, turning to ashes."]

["You want us to admit fault, then first punish your descendants. Otherwise, I, Ancient God Strong, will be the first to refuse!"]

[Upon hearing these words, the other Ancient Gods and their descendants focused their gaze on Donghuang Taiyi.]

[Hearing this, Xixi’s face changed color, holding the eight Golden Crows in her arms even tighter, while Qingqing too shielded the eight Cloud Bird Maidens like a fortress.]

[They had never encountered such a situation, their hearts filled with worry.]

["They were wrong, and I, as their father, am also culpable." Donghuang Taiyi gazed at "Strong" and "Kun", only coldly saying, "So what?"]

[For someone new to fatherhood, how could he bear to punish his own children?]

[Truly assuming he was the "unselfish" Celestial Dao.]

[Donghuang Taiyi in the Eternal Night World initially disliked loneliness. Later, with the companionship of Xixi, Qingqing, Ugly Monster, their presence was so precious, so irreplaceable.]

[Even later, those Innate Ancient Gods respected him as brother, but how could that deeper emotional bond with Xixi and Qingqing be easily compared?]

[Furthermore, could it not be that Donghuang Taiyi could indulge himself?]

[Donghuang Taiyi continued: "So, if you dare to defy me, I will suppress you here, allowing you to reflect in the long passage of time."]

["Bias!! Injustice!!" Ancient God Strong roared in anger, his voice echoing across the heavens and earth.]

["Dang—" Amidst the bell sounds, "Strong’s" Primordial Spirit was drawn out, his Ancient God body gradually transforming into a towering mountain, standing between the heavens and earth.]

[Meanwhile, "Kun’s" vast body also slowly dissipated, becoming an expansive, glistening ocean.]

[The Primordial Spirit fell into the Profound Yellow Grand Bell.]

[Donghuang Taiyi looked at the remaining Ancient Gods: "Your powers are too strong, for this fragile world it undoubtedly constitutes a great threat. Therefore, your bodies cannot be used anymore."]

["Do you have any objections?"]

["Brother, I have an objection..." An Ancient God, hearing this, was about to speak but was instantly suppressed by a strong force, transforming into a towering tree, lush and green but unable to move a bit.]

["Who else has objections?" Donghuang Taiyi wielded the "Profound Yellow Grand Bell", looking at the Ancient Gods, calmly asked.]

[Upon hearing this, the Ancient Gods were angry but dared not speak.]

[Who, after all, was too powerful...]

...
