Chapter 738: Reaching the Peak of Life

Chapter 738: Reaching the Peak of Life
Nuwa on the phoenix chariot sighed deeply, held her forehead in her hands for a long time without saying a word, and after a while she chuckled.

When his popularity reached its peak, it turned out that he could really laugh.

Although the demon mosquito did not show up, the gods and Buddhas present had already sensed the demonic energy coming from the abyss of the earth.

It is obvious that the seal of Mount Tai has collapsed, and what is coming has finally come.

Perhaps Nuwa and the gods could have done something to save the princes who were rushing to their deaths like moths to a flame, but it was too late now.

unless……

Nuwa personally intervened and was completely involved in this catastrophe. She took part in the battle herself, just like when she repaired the sky. She used her divine power to close the cracks in Mount Tai, block the Yin-Yang passage, and then escort the princes of the Great Zhou on Mount Tai away.

With Nuwa's ability, it is not impossible to do it, but is it necessary?

She was almost crying because of the stupidity of the nobles of the Great Zhou whom she supported!

No god with a bit of brains would get involved in a cause and effect with unpredictable consequences just to save a group of fools who brought trouble upon themselves.

What's more, Nuwa has the ability to predict good and bad luck, and can see the secrets of heaven. If she saves these idiots, she will not accumulate merit, but will be punished by heaven, and her merits will be greatly reduced.

If we kill all these princes, there may be some who are innocent. If we kill every one of them, there will definitely be some who escape.

If it weren't for the blessings of their ancestors, based on the bad things they did during the drought, if they were brought to a modern court, they would all be convicted of crimes against humanity and should have been punished by heaven and earth long ago!
The end of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not cause too much damage to Nuwa.

The reason why Nuwa was so angry that she laughed was that at her level, no matter how great the loss of interests was, it was not as great as losing face.

Especially since he was fooled again and again by a tiny young fellow, who actually pulled out the teeth from the saint's mouth and destroyed the Great Zhou's destiny right under Nuwa's nose, this hatred was huge.

If the great-grandson of someone else's disciple failed the great cause of establishing the Zhou Dynasty, Nuwa would not be able to face Tongtian in the future and would be laughed to death.

"Let's go back to the Wa Palace!"

Nuwa gave the two phoenixes an order in a bad mood. Hongfeng turned her head in surprise and said, "My queen, are you not going to Lingxiao Palace?"

"late!"

Qing Feng's eyes rolled, and she turned her head and said, "My Lady, it was all Wen Rui's fault. Why don't we go and settle the score with him now?"

Hong Feng nodded her head in agreement, her movements like a chick pecking at rice.

The two phoenixes also hated Wen Rui deeply.

After hearing about Rui's antidote, Nuwa didn't give it to the two phoenixes until today when she needed a carriage to go out.

The two of them suffered innocently and had been chickens for almost three months. Their habits became more and more like chickens. They both wanted to use this as an excuse to instigate Nuwa to avenge them.

The reason why the antidote was injected so late was because of Nuwa's self-esteem. She wanted to use her own ability to solve Wen Rui's genetic mutation, so she was determined not to use the antidote "given" by Wen Rui.

However, after trying, Nuwa discovered that Wen Rui's method was quite clever...

Nuwa is an expert in human genome, but she is still not familiar enough with the Phoenix genome. Although she is proficient in all methods, it still takes time to analyze the Phoenix genes.

This should not be difficult. As long as there is a living sample of the Phoenix, Nuwa can achieve phased results by spending a month or two on research.

But her two phoenixes were turned into chickens by Wen Rui, and their genomes were completely chicken genomes. It would not be easy to find other living phoenixes.

At least wild phoenixes are basically extinct. There are quite a few artificially bred meat phoenixes, but after years of breeding, their genes have degenerated and they can hardly be considered the same species as the real ancient phoenixes. The research got stuck here and has been delayed until now. The two phoenixes can only be used as chickens for a few months.

When Nuwa went out to do some work today, she knew that the gods and Buddhas were all in Mount Tai, so she had to turn the two chickens back so that she could control the phoenix chariot and show off. Only then did the two phoenixes escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

There is no way. When you reach the realm of a saint, you have no worldly desires. You just want to compete for a little face and pay attention to the show.

Nuwa was really tempted by Qingfeng's suggestion. She had never wanted to beat someone more in her life. She was not even this angry when Emperor Xin insulted her in a poem last time.

Nuwa hesitated after counting with her fingers, and said bitterly, "This fellow is as cunning as a devil. He knew I would not let him go, so he hid under the wings of Lishan Laomu. If I go to attack him, with Kong Xuan helping him and Lishan Laomu echoing from afar, I'm afraid I will not get any good results."

This was just one of the reasons Nuwa made the calculation. There was another reason she did not tell the two phoenixes.

That was the number of days predicted by Nuwa. She helplessly discovered that Wen Rui had somehow linked his personal luck with the luck of the human race and even the luck of all living beings. If he was killed, it would be equivalent to destroying the luck of the human race.

Playing with luck is a bundle!
It's really hard to harm him because we are afraid of the consequences.

Nuwa's status as a saint with merit was not achieved through actual practice and beheading of the Three Corpses, but was obtained by saving all living beings. If she were to bear the great karma of exterminating all living beings, then wouldn't the great merit bestowed by Heaven in the past have to be returned?
Without merits, can one still be called a saint of merit?
I was very angry, but there was nothing I could do about him.

"Forget it, let's go back to the Wa Palace! I don't want to get entangled with such a despicable villain. This catastrophe is not so easy to overcome. If he fails to overcome the catastrophe, he will fall into my hands sooner or later!"

Flicking her sleeves, Nuwa leaned back on the Phoenix Chariot, closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, squeezing out these words from between her teeth.

The two phoenixes looked at each other and saw deep disappointment in each other's eyes, but they did not dare to disobey the imperial order. They flapped their wings unwillingly and dragged the phoenix chariot towards the direction of the Queen Wa Palace.

"Why did it fly away? What did I do wrong?"

Qi Hou, who was almost doing a split below, was struggling to hold on, but he saw the Empress Wa's Phoenix Chariot flying farther and farther away. He couldn't help but burst into tears and felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

The script of Fengming Taishan had obviously deviated from the princes' expectations. The last bit of spirit that supported Marquis Qi was gone, and his legs, which were stretched straight by force, made a cracking sound, and Marquis Qi slid down and fell into the huge crack of Taishan.

The screams became increasingly fainter as they fell, but then slowly became louder.

This is the phenomenon of sound changes caused by the sound source first moving away and then approaching.

Qi Hou, who fell into the crack of the abyss, was pushed out of the crack by a scarlet fountain. The fountain was so powerful that it carried Qi Hou straight into the sky and flew to a height as high as the two auspicious clouds.

When they reached the highest point, there was a brief moment when Qi Hou stopped in mid-air while doing the splits, and silently looked at the gods and Buddhas on the two auspicious clouds at an equal level.

This human prince was observing gods and Buddhas face to face at such a close distance for the first time. His life reached its peak both physically and metaphysically.

Marquis Qi wanted to speak, but he couldn't. He could only force out a flattering smile and waved to the gods and Buddhas as a greeting.

It was the first time for all the gods and Buddhas to see a mortal flying in the air and meeting them in the clouds. Hundreds of divine eyes converged on Qi Hou at the same time, and looked up as he flew up.

"Could this be the ultimate reward for the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai? Have I become an immortal? Did the heavens bestow upon me the immortal seal that I owed to my ancestor Jiang Taigong?"

This thought popped up in Qi Hou's mind, and as he thought about it, his smile became even brighter.

However, the last scene he saw was that the gods and Buddhas all attacked together, and colorful light bombarded him from all directions.

Although Qi Hou caused psychological discomfort to the gods and Buddhas, they attacked him together not because of him, but because the blood fountain was about to pollute the auspicious clouds set up by the gods and Buddhas, so they had to take action to disperse it.
