417: Chapter 212 Lord Donghua Arrives 417: Chapter 212 Lord Donghua Arrives The Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole perished, and the Senior Commander-in-Chief appeared. The Ancient Gods and the later generations’ beings divided their realms, seemingly abandoning the latter for what they called the greater good. One piece of news after another reached the ears of the creatures of the world, leaving them dumbfounded. At the same time, the later generations’ beings also felt some anger. Why should they be sacrificed for the so-called grand scheme of heaven and earth? Their hearts were filled with indignation towards the Ancient Gods, and temples dedicated to some of these gods were smashed to ruins. Take the Queen Mother of the West, for instance; eighty percent of her temple collapsed, and only the remaining twenty percent was protected, preventing further destruction. Beings of the later generations, both human and demon, were full of wrath. There were also demon fiends who took advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble. However, the Thunder Department’s mighty ones soon found them, and the weak were directly annihilated. For demon fiends of the Celestial Immortal level, the Thunder Department dispatched Divine Generals to encircle and suppress them. For a time, the Three Realms were in perpetual warfare. Meanwhile, the beings of the world became even more supportive of the Great Emperor Ziwei, who wholeheartedly protected them. Some immortals recorded the names of the strong ones who acted to protect the later generations on that day and spread their fame far and wide. Suddenly, many temples were built in the world to worship these mighty ones. Sensing the thick power of Incense and Devotion, Immortal Zhenyuan within the Wuzhuang Temple smiled slightly. Although he was an Ancient God, there was not much difference between Ancient Gods and later beings in his heart. He acted not just because of Sun Wukong, but now he had received recompense from the later generations’ beings. This power of Incense and Devotion was of great benefit to him. In fact, the one who benefited the most was still the Great Emperor Ziwei. However, everyone else also gained some advantage, big or small. In the South Sea, the Ox Demon King was very surprised. It was the first time he felt the benefit of the Power of Incense and Fire, as his realm was slowly advancing. He scratched his head and said with a laugh, “Who would have thought doing good deeds could bring such great benefits? No wonder Bodhisattvas are keen to rescue and relieve suffering.” Upon hearing this, the Iron Fan Immortal gave him a slap. She said irritably, “What nonsense are you saying? Bodhisattvas rescue and relieve suffering out of compassion, not for the power of incense and fire. You’re different.” The Ox King knew he had misspoken, so he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said, “Right, I misspoke. I ask the Bodhisattva not to take offense at this old ox. You know I’m a coarse fellow and don’t speak well.” The Bodhisattva Guanyin looked at him and laughed, “Actually, what you said isn’t wrong. When I do good deeds, it’s naturally also for the power of incense and fire, which is very beneficial for the Buddhist Sect’s mighty ones in their cultivation.” Seeing the Bodhisattva admit it, the Ox King did not think any less of the Bodhisattva Guanyin. He laughed and said, “Bodhisattva is straightforward and speaks her mind. I admire that.” Iron Fan Immortal glanced at her husband, some surprise in her eyes. She had thought the Ox King might offend the Bodhisattva Guanyin with his words. But instead, his speech turned out to be quite astute. The Bodhisattva Guanyin simply smiled gently, saying nothing more. Inside the Houtu Palace, those residing there became restless upon hearing that the Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole had been destroyed. They were somewhat anxious and worried that the Heavenly Palace might attack at any moment. Kong Rui said to Lady Houtu, “My lady, perhaps we should hide. If the Heavenly Court were to attack, we would not be able to withstand them.” Even the Longevity Great Emperor had fallen, and neither Shao Siming nor the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, despite their direct intervention, could save him. Though the Senior Commander-in-Chief had been unleashed in the end, he was no longer the same as the Longevity Great Emperor. If the Heavenly Court were to attack now, their fate would surely be no better; they could not possibly hold their ground. Although today’s Heavenly Court might not be said to be stronger than before, it was still full of mighty beings. Lady Houtu said indifferently, “I will not leave. When he appears, I don’t believe he will completely sever our years of marital bond and disregard my life and death.” “What if he does?” Shrinking back, Kong Rui, although afraid, still asked the question. Despite her fear, she had to speak out; otherwise, even Lady Houtu might not survive. “If that happens, let Ziwei kill me,” Lady Houtu said. Looking at Kong Rui, she smiled and asked, “Are you afraid of dying?” After hesitating a moment, Kong Rui nodded and said, “Yes.” She admitted it; indeed, she was afraid of dying. At the Heavenly Venerate level, who would willingly just pass away? Surviving was naturally preferable. “Actually, I am afraid of dying, too,” Lady Houtu said with a gentle smile. Kong Rui was surprised; she hadn’t expected Lady Houtu to express such sentiment. In her mind, Lady Houtu should be fearless. “Then why won’t my lady leave?” Kong Rui couldn’t help but ask. Lady Houtu’s gaze was deep as she looked out into the vast void and said, “Sometimes it’s better to die than to live without a clear purpose. Besides, it’s highly unlikely that Ziwei will kill me, so you don’t need to worry about me. If you’re concerned, you can leave. Although you are strong, you’re of no use in such grand power struggles.” This wasn’t mere talk; although the strength of these Ancient Fierce Gods was formidable, they were not much to behold in the grand power struggles. These conflicts often amounted to confrontations between Great Heavenly Venerates. At least someone like Nezha was required to be influential in such a battle. Like Kong Rui and the other ten Ancient Fierce Gods, although all outstanding among the Heavenly Venerates, if they joined forces, restraining a Great Heavenly Venerate would be considered an achievement.
