Chapter 183 Kua Fu, Geng Chen, and the Emperor's Wrath

As he walked into 'Chengdu Zaitian,' and even when he first heard the news, Wei Yuan felt a sense of melancholy.

Ying Long slew Kua Fu here.

The spirit transformed from Nuwa's ten thoughts of good and evil, not belonging to the Great Wilderness nor Kunlun, had no reason to mislead him or lie about these matters. Coupled with Bai Ze's confirmation, the probability of this being true was high.

This reminded Wei Yuan of a previously overlooked problem.

The lineup and support on his side were not without grievances among themselves.

If Geng Chen was indeed the culprit who killed Kua Fu.

Then, should Geng Chen and Kua Fu meet one day, a great battle would be inevitable.

Extending it further, if King Yu was truly revived, the feud between Wu Zhiqi and him could not be resolved with a simple jar of wine. And with Yu's temperament, he would surely invite Xing Tian to a battle. The current peace was just a fluke.

Because there were no life-and-death grudges between them.

As long as any unstable factor was introduced.

The entire rear would explode.

The thought of Kua Fu and Ying Long agreeing to a life-or-death duel, while King Yu laughed heartily as he clashed with Wu Zhiqi, dragging Xing Tian into the fray and causing chaos, gave Wei Yuan a headache. The front line had not yet stabilized, and the rear was already in turmoil.

If Gonggong was unsealed as well.

Well, that would be complete. Besides Ying Long and Kua Fu.

The three most stubborn civil officials from ancient, middle, and near-ancient times would be gathered.

Missing one.

Just needing to add Xuanyuan or Chiyou to start a game.

Or directly gathering those two to play together.

Leading to a real-person free-for-all.

Imagine a group of civil officials laughing heartily while drawing the Xuanyuan Sword or Chiyou Axe, slashing at each other with gusto.

Daoist Zhang would probably suffer a myocardial infarction...

Not to mention a certain old Daoist who had long exceeded his retirement age, Wei Yuan felt his heart stop just thinking about that scene. It was an unprecedented nightmare, the worst-case scenario. In any case, the mortal world would definitely not be able to withstand these individuals' antics.

If that really happened, he wondered if there was a way to airdrop these guys to the Great Wilderness.

Just as a greeting gift to the Great Wilderness Heavenly Emperor.

He would definitely love it. jpg.

Wei Yuan's mind wandered, dispelling the sense of heaviness. After entering this ancient divine city, he could clearly see the murals on one side. Bai Ze reached out and easily unlocked the seals on the murals. Although he was not good at fighting, his skill points in knowledge were maxed out.

A walking dictionary, a living strategy guide, Xuanyuan Huangdi's personal guide.

Apart from being able to talk, there were basically no flaws.

The wall depicted a tall giant.

With two yellow snakes adorning his shoulders, holding two yellow snakes in his hands.

Majestic and extraordinary.

This extremely familiar posture instantly reminded Wei Yuan of those descriptions of stepping on two dragons or two snakes, such as the Eastern Gou Mang, who had a bird's body and a human face, riding two dragons; or the Western Ru Shou, with a snake on his left ear, riding two dragons. This was clearly the style of the ancient Great Wilderness gods and Kunlun gods.

Wei Yuan whispered, "This is... Kua Fu?"

Bai Ze said, "Yes, although he has this appearance, he is indeed a member of the human race."

"Although his father was also a creature created by Lady Houtu."

"But his mother was human, and his father was more inclined towards humans than gods, living in seclusion in a village, so Kua Fu was always a member of the human race. The *Classic of the Great Wilderness, Northern*, records that Houtu gave birth to Xin, and Xin gave birth to Kua Fu. Even in this book, Kua Fu is recorded as a human."

Wei Yuan said, "So, Kua Fu is also a descendant of Lady Houtu?"

Bai Ze scratched his head and sighed:

"How should I explain this? Lady Houtu and Lady Nuwa seem to have a good relationship, so she also transforms and creates some creatures. Some later had opportunities, met Emperor Jun, and took charge of the sun, moon, and stars, like Yi Ming. The children she gave birth to were completely gods."

"But existences like Xin are neither gods nor humans. However, he chose to transform into a human and live a human life, so he became a human, giving birth to Kua Fu and other children. Of course, some of his descendants also took the path of gods, like the Kua E clan."

"In the end, it's a matter of perception."

"Those who consider themselves gods will feel that they should be high above, while those who consider themselves human will stand shoulder to shoulder with the common people. Potter, you know, the ancient times were an era of choice. All living beings were making their own choices. Kua Fu was a descendant who could have become a god, but instead became a human."

"And your disciple..."

Wei Yuan whispered, "Yi Riyue."

"Forget it, let's not mention him."

Bai Ze waved his hand awkwardly, knowing that he had a foul mouth.

Wei Yuan sensed the strong emotions hidden on the stone wall and placed his palm on it.

His eyes slowly closed.

The Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends - Spirit Communication.

He had already mastered this divine power and used it with ease. Slowly closing his eyes, the strong obsession that had not dissipated even after thousands of years on the mural transformed into a picture, slowly unfolding before Wei Yuan's eyes—

A segment of Kua Fu's life.

………………

This was the story of a man who should have lived a peaceful life.

Although his stature was taller than ordinary humans, in this era, various bloodlines existed, and everyone still accepted him as a member of the human race, cultivating land, planting crops, and going out with the tribe to hunt.

Occasionally, he would also go to Xuanyuan Hill of the Youxiong clan to exchange for things that many small tribes did not have.

Things completely changed after returning from Xuanyuan Hill one day.

The era always pushed everyone towards destiny.

Anger, an extreme anger, like the earth being burned by raging flames.

Because the earth was indeed burning...

When Kua Fu, the tallest young man in the village, returned, he saw devastation everywhere.

In the past, when Xihe drove the great sun, she would only drive one at a time. But this time, Xihe, not knowing who she was competing with, wore the most extravagant clothes and drove ten great suns, flying over the earth at half the height.

The scorching heat caused the ground to crack, the rivers to dry up, and mortals to be burned alive.

Kua Fu, who was usually gentle and generous, was furious.

He grabbed the peach wood staff placed in the courtyard and madly charged towards the heavenly deity who controlled the sun. Before him, no one had ever dared to disrespect the heavenly deities, let alone the wife of Emperor Jun, the Emperor's Consort of the Great Wilderness, the mother of the great suns. But Kua Fu did just that.

The usually gentle human erupted with a power that no one had expected.

The tragic scenes he saw along the way only intensified his anger. In fact, Xihe was almost struck by Kua Fu at the time. He recklessly unleashed the power hidden within his body, completely ignoring the backlash, chasing after the suns and causing the great suns to flee in panic.

But the principle of not overdoing things always holds true.

Constantly chasing and getting closer to the great suns was equivalent to constantly enduring the impact of ten great suns. Even Kua Fu's power was constantly weakening, and he felt his blood boiling. He saw the Yellow River flowing through the land. Even the power of the four rivers was much weaker at this time. Kua Fu drank large mouthfuls, actually cutting off the flow of the Yellow River in this section.

But for some reason, the more his blood was burning, the more water he drank, the more he felt hot.

At this time, he encountered Geng Chen, a heavenly deity who had also come to stop Xihe.

Geng Chen discovered Kua Fu's condition and took him to the Great Marsh.

"Your blood is being burned by the true fire of the great suns. You should go to the depths of the Great Marsh to avoid it for now."

"Otherwise, you may die on this road."

The exhausted Kua Fu nodded in agreement. But just as Geng Chen was taking Kua Fu to the Great Marsh, Xihe found Emperor Jun and complained to her husband about being chased by a mere mortal. When Kua Fu had already seen the Great Marsh, the sky suddenly lowered sharply.

Geng Chen's pupils constricted violently.

And the exhausted Kua Fu raised his head.

The creatures of the Great Wilderness felt the powerful force that changed the entire Great Wilderness in that instant. It came from one being. The generous young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, grinning and saying, "Finally... great, the matter has finally alarmed the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Wilderness. He is the Heavenly Emperor, he should stop Xihe's actions."

"Great, there's hope..."

The Heavenly Might heavily suppressed down.

Countless humans and other creatures knelt before the divine might.

Emperor Jun's voice was calm and indifferent: "Mortal Kua Fu, overestimating his abilities, sought to chase the sun's light."

"Offending the divine might is a great crime."

"Heavenly punishment shall be executed."

The look of relief on the generous young man's face froze.

Scenes of the cracked earth and the suffering of living beings that he had seen along the way constantly flashed before his eyes.

The expression on his face gradually twisted, and finally he roared angrily: "What are you doing?!"

"Xihe is the one who is wrong!"

"Look at this Great Wilderness, look at those cities, what wrong have we done!"

Emperor Jun did not answer, but indifferently stretched out his palm. At this time, it was daytime, but suddenly the light of a star in the sky shone brightly. It was a huge star. Then, Emperor Jun slightly clenched his five fingers, closing his palm. Along with this action, that star constantly collapsed and annihilated.

Finally, it transformed into a brilliant and terrifying spark, violently falling from the sky.

The entire Great Wilderness saw such a grand scene.

Kua Fu was locked on.

This was Heavenly Punishment.

And Kua Fu, who had traveled all the way and almost dragged Xihe down, felt despair in his heart. He would definitely not be able to resist the power of this magnitude in his current state. But then he became enraged. He staggered to his feet, pointed a finger at the sky, and roared:

"I am not wrong, we were born between heaven and earth, what wrong have we done!"

"I only regret not pulling Xihe's chariot down to the mortal realm, smashing her to death with my fists!"

"Even if you are the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Wilderness."

"You cannot judge me!"

"We humans are born free, and we will not allow you to judge us even in death!"

The generous Kua Fu cursed, then raised his hand to commit suicide. Rather than dying from Heavenly Punishment, being deemed guilty, he would rather decide his own life. His hand heavily struck his forehead, but the power originating from Houtu flowed, and he was exhausted, unable to even commit suicide. He was about to die under the so-called 'Heavenly Punishment'.

Kua Fu trembled all over, suddenly coughing up a mouthful of black blood.

It was the sun poison that had invaded his body when he chased the great suns before.

It had been lurking before, but at this time, with the emotional outburst, it also moved. Kua Fu staggered, almost kneeling on the ground. The toxins from the great sun's heat were corroding his life, and before he died from the sun poison, Heavenly Punishment would fall and kill him here.

Ying Long Geng Chen tried to detoxify him, but found that the poison had already penetrated deep into his bones.

It was Xihe who had done it, controlling the sun, moon, and years, and accumulating Kua Fu's poison to a hundred years in an instant.

Now that great sun fluid was erupting directly from every blood vessel.

Looking at the anger and unwillingness on Kua Fu's face, and even a trace of pain, Ying Long was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Although I have only just met you, I once heard a human say a word, those who share the same aspirations are the closest of friends." The Kunlun martial god smiled and bowed, softly saying:

"I do not wish for you to die at the hands of Emperor Jun."

"So please allow me to presumptuously ask, can your life be entrusted to me?"

Kua Fu stared wide-eyed at the gentle heavenly deity before him, stunned in disbelief, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"I leave it to you."

Finally, Geng Chen placed his palm on Kua Fu's back, closed his eyes, and with an expression of pity, then struck, instantly severing Kua Fu's bloodline. Before dying, Kua Fu glared at the falling Heavenly Punishment, and violently threw the wooden staff in his hand, laughing loudly.

"Go to hell, Heavenly Punishment!"

"We were born on this earth, you have absolutely no right to judge me!"

Kua Fu died, and the Heavenly Punishment that had been locked on him slowly dissipated.

Ying Long closed his eyes. Kua Fu had a close relationship with Houtu, and now that he had personally killed Kua Fu, he naturally received the earth's hostility and backlash. Slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, he barely managed to clench his five fingers, controlling the great sun's poison, then absorbing it into his own body.

His robes billowed from the overflowing aura, the heavenly deity's face flushed red, and a purple mark appeared between his eyebrows.

He glanced at the cracked earth, his expression serene.

He could not allow the great sun's poison to erupt on the earth.

He buried Kua Fu in Chengdu Zaitian, then left openly.

On the way out, he saw people lamenting, saying that Kua Fu had died from Heavenly Punishment.

In the end, he was still guilty, that human.

Geng Chen interrupted:

"That is not the case."

"Kua Fu did not die under Emperor Jun's judgment, nor could Emperor Jun judge him."

He declared this legend to all:

"The one who killed Kua Fu was not Heavenly Punishment!"

"Kua Fu chased the sun, and fought Ying Long in the wilderness."

"It was Geng Chen who took advantage of his weakened state and killed him!"

………………

In the era when the majesty of the heavenly deities was profound, the legend of the first human to roar at the Heavenly Emperor, telling him he was wrong.

When Kua Fu raised his weapon and chased after the heavenly deity, regardless of the outcome, he had already firmly imprinted his name on history, branded with the labels of hero and legend.

The images slowly dissipated, Wei Yuan withdrew his hand, his face rippling with emotion, and whispered:

"Kua Fu..."

"Geng Chen..."

"Emperor Jun's Heavenly Punishment."

Bai Ze had just been curious. Seeing Wei Yuan regain his senses, he said, "What did you just see? You were stunned for a while. What, was it Geng Chen's aura? Did you see Geng Chen?"

Wei Yuan nodded, then shook his head, saying, "What kind of god is Geng Chen?"

"Him..."

Bai Ze scratched his head, saying, "Is he a very perfect god?"

He counted on his fingers, saying, "Powerful, handsome, gentle, and without airs."

"His temper is ridiculously good, his attitude towards gods and humans is the same, and he has a compassionate heart and rare tolerance. No matter how you say it, he won't get angry. If it weren't for the violent Xuan Nv wielding weapons, he would be the Kunlun War God. But as the number one martial god of Kunlun, he deserves the title."

Wei Yuan recalled the Geng Chen he had seen.

Indeed, he was even willing to bear the hatred of Houtu's descendant, Xin, and the backlash of Houtu's aura, just to preserve Kua Fu's last dignity as a human. Both his strength and character were impeccable. But the thought that this god's reincarnation might be a water ghost made Wei Yuan's expression extremely strange.

Before his eyes seemed to appear a water ghost smiling cheerfully as he poured happy water into a wine glass.

Comparing that with the gentle and handsome martial god.

Curator Wei fell into deep thought.

If, just if...

If Geng Chen really became a water ghost.

Should he find a way to have Geng Chen reincarnate as soon as possible?

This account is ruined.

Otherwise, he should quickly delete the account and start over, Geng Chen.

Everything is a dream.

You have never suffered social death.

Nor have you ever been thrown out.

It's all a dream.

Bai Ze next to him did not know what Wei Yuan was thinking, but just sighed complexly, "In any case, the things of the past are ultimately in the past, and regrets are always regrets. Kua Fu's anger did not lead to any results, but his tragic death was also the catalyst for Da Yi's emergence. Thousands of years have passed, and Da Yi's Sun-Shooting Bow is nowhere to be found. This Chengdu Zaitian only has this little bit left."

"Potter, are you going to stay here for a while, or are we going directly to the Maomin Kingdom?"

Wei Yuan swept the mural into his sleeve, planning to give it to Kua Fu later.

He was about to open his mouth, when he suddenly sensed that there seemed to be a gaze on him. He looked around, but it seemed to be just an illusion.

After thinking about it, he said, "There are only seven days left, let's go to the Maomin Kingdom."

Bai Ze nodded, "Okay."

………………

On this day, there were six and a half days left for the third trial of Kunlun.

It was the birthday of the Old Ancestor of the Yishi clan in the Maomin Kingdom. Gods and countries from all over came to congratulate him. Merchants from all over the Great Wilderness entered the city, causing the capital to have to expand around it. The entire city was decorated with flowers, and the avenues were lined with magical light constructed by magical powers, creating an indescribable splendor and joy.

At the city gate, a white-haired man calmly stepped in.

Someone was already welcoming the guests, saying, "Are you also here to congratulate the Old Ancestor on his birthday?"

"Congratulations?"

The white-haired swordsman smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

"Congratulations!"

ps: Today's second update...

*Classic of the Great Wilderness, Northern*: There is a man, wearing two yellow snakes, holding two yellow snakes, named Kua Fu. Houtu gave birth to Xin, and Xin gave birth to Kua Fu.
