Chapter 1 Being the Strongest Means Being Reasonable

The weapon personally forged by Fuxi was wielded with terrifying power, enough to stir the four seas, and then struck fiercely. The raging wind and swirling currents, with their purest strength, had already transformed into a surging, boundless power. The gods vaguely heard the roaring of waves in their ears and felt the moist sensation of water flowing around their skin.

The surroundings had become a battlefield after a sudden change in the world. Raising a hand would make the earth tremble, and a single move would cause the seas to churn.

This had undoubtedly surpassed the former Wuzhiqi.

Surpassed the level that Wuzhiqi should have had.

Fueled by his battle intent, Wuzhiqi wielded the golden cudgel in his hand, each move more imposing than the last, each move more magnificent. He abandoned the purpose of coming here, abandoned the emotion about the legends of the past Heavenly Emperor, abandoned the hidden fear of the Heavenly Emperor's might, and was left with only a heart full of fighting spirit. Under the stimulation of this fighting spirit, his strength was unleashed to the greatest extent.

It even erupted beyond his limits.

The gods were all terrified, even retreating one by one. It wasn't that they didn't want to get closer to watch, but the aftermath of the battle was too terrifying. If they got too close, they might be directly swept into the battlefield. If they were hit by that cudgel, they would at least break all the bones in their body, and if they were accidentally grazed by the Heavenly Emperor's starlight, they would die instantly.

So they had no choice but to retreat again and again.

Retreating who knows how many miles.

First three thousand miles, then eight thousand miles.

Even with the vast divine senses of the gods, they could only see layers of primordial energy tides rising and falling in the void, unable to see what was actually happening or what the current situation of the battle was.

Even those gods with extremely powerful eyesight, who could stand in the Great Wilderness and overlook the three thousand worlds, had their vision and divine senses completely obscured by the increasingly dense primordial energy, and in the end, they couldn't see anything. They were all anxious to see the battle clearly, but they were powerless to do so.

Only Chong, the God of Supporting Heaven, who was being sheltered behind the Heavenly Emperor at this moment, could see this shocking and heart-palpitating battle.

Wuzhiqi's cudgel techniques were already seamless, and his moves were domineering to the extreme, launching a series of relentless attacks.

In Chong's view, even those few Dao Fruit realm experts who were not good at fighting would choose not to clash head-on with this monkey.

And if it were the first tier below the Dao Fruit level.

Then almost all of them would be suppressed by Wuzhiqi's moves!

Facing such moves, Dijun simply made a lighthearted move, with one hand behind his back and the other either turning into a palm or throwing a punch, and he had already resisted Wuzhiqi's moves. But even so, the surging gale and the gushing primordial energy still made Chong tremble in his heart.

There was both a fervent sense of following the Heavenly Emperor's power and shock at how powerful Wuzhiqi, the Disaster Lord of the Huai River who was not among the mountains and seas or in the Great Wilderness, had become.

Chong's eyes stared intently at the two sides clashing, and his heart was surging, almost without stopping. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of power was this, what kind of strength was this? Such a great battle, even if it couldn't be said to be the strongest battle in the world, it was at least one of the top ones. And in this great battle, all that could be seen were rushing torrents and primordial energy traversing the sky.

Although there were many gods in the mountains and seas.

But perhaps only he could witness this great battle with his own eyes.

Although it was thrilling, it was also a great fortune.

However, the God of Supporting Heaven, Chong, did not know that at this moment, above him, or rather, in the place of no origin and no limit, there was still another person watching this earth-shattering battle. Wei Yuan himself was hidden in the void, not even in the Great Wilderness. He was still in the gap between purity and turbidity where he had trapped and killed the foundation of the Turbid World.

Besides him, Uncle Bu Zhoushan, Master, and Qilin were also there.

There were even many of the Sky Demons.

The Sky Demon lineage undoubtedly had an inexplicable karma with Wei Yuan. Even though Wei Yuan himself didn't know where this karma lay, the existence of this karma was undeniable. And even if he took ten thousand steps back and didn't look for this hidden karma, just the fact that the Sky Demons had helped Wei Yuan in the battle to kill the foundation of the Turbid World, allowing them to rest briefly.

And in the final battle, they had relied on the Sky Demon lineage's treasure to successfully intercept nearly half of the Turbid World's foundation battle force. Wei Yuan and the others couldn't leave them alone. However, how to settle this Sky Demon race was also a tricky matter.

While Wei Yuan was thinking about these things, Wuzhiqi had already started fighting with the Heavenly Emperor. Wei Yuan had no choice but to let a trace of his true spirit descend to watch the battlefield at this moment. At the same time, a stream of light changed unpredictably, and the Qingping Sword circled around him, constantly whistling, emitting a strong aura of sharpness.

He was already prepared that if the Heavenly Emperor Dijun fought too smoothly, too focused, and completely ignored his previous agreement with Wei Yuan, not leaving any leeway and directly severely injuring or even bringing Wuzhiqi to the brink of death, then even at the risk of angering Wuzhiqi and triggering the Heavenly Emperor's battle intent, Wei Yuan would have to use a sword to separate the battle.

It was difficult for him to defeat the Heavenly Emperor in his prime at this moment.

But separating the battle with a single sword during the fight and diverting the Heavenly Emperor's attack was not absolutely impossible.

Of course, as for whether the Heavenly Emperor would then directly take the opportunity to fight Wei Yuan himself, he didn't have the energy to worry about that. But according to the current situation, Dijun had not completely unleashed his full strength. Every move and stance was mainly defensive, receiving the attacks. He then raised his hand again and pressed it on Wuzhiqi's cudgel, and his energy had already gone wild.

The Heavenly Emperor's palm was slender and powerful, pressing on the long cudgel without moving an inch.

Then he raised his eyes.

His gaze was calm and indifferent, and he glanced at Wei Yuan's location.

He seemed to nod slightly.

Then, naturally, a vast and immense power knocked Wuzhiqi back.

What a great battle. The Heavenly Emperor felt that he had fought enough. His energy suddenly surged, and in the safe area far away, the faces of the gods showed worry and hesitation, because this great battle had actually lasted for so long?!

Strictly speaking, this battle hadn't lasted that long in the gods' sense of time.

But the one fighting Wuzhiqi was the Heavenly Emperor!

The invincible, absolute powerhouse who had suppressed the Great Wilderness for tens of thousands of years!

He could be called the strongest in this era, without any dispute, in both the Clear and Turbid Worlds.

In the past, when the Heavenly Emperor fought anyone, he would basically resolve the battle quickly. How could there be such a change today? Not only was he unable to defeat the enemy immediately, but he was also dragged into an entanglement. The primordial energy clash was still extremely turbulent, giving people a sense of palpitations.

No one doubted the Heavenly Emperor's strength. They were just shocked that Wuzhiqi had become so powerful.

Yeming frowned slightly.

Wuzhiqi's strength…

Shouldn't have reached this level.

Standing opposite Yeming was the Heavenly Emperor's son, the Great Sun Golden Crow, with a clear and cold expression.

In the South Sea battle, the Great Sun Golden Crow disregarded everything, consumed his origin, and illuminated the Turbid World's aura blockade from the inside out, creating a huge flaw in the plan to encircle and kill the Turbid World, greatly weakening the strength of the Turbid World's powerhouses. After that, he brought Zhao Gongming back to the Great Wilderness, and then began to recuperate.

Although his foundation had not been fully restored at this moment, he was no longer in the seriously injured state he had been in before.

He had naturally come to guard the battle of his father, the Heavenly Emperor.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had consumed too much in the Turbid World's attack on the South Sea.

Then the one who should be resisting Wuzhiqi now should have been him. But as he watched, the Great Sun Golden Crow frowned slightly—the current state was not right. He had also seen Wuzhiqi appear in the South Sea battle, and had personally witnessed Wuzhiqi's fighting stance, which was indeed extremely powerful.

In the non-Dao Fruit realm, he had defied and killed the Turbid World's Water God!

And killed him.

Such a record could not be said to be weak.

Although the Great Sun Golden Crow had an arrogant personality, he also greatly respected the strong. However, even if Wuzhiqi's strength was to defeat the Turbid World's Water God, it would take a considerable amount of time. In other words, the strength of these two could be said to be evenly matched. Wuzhiqi was able to win because his fighting spirit was strong, able to exert twelve or even thirteen percent of his strength, and was a natural war god.

In other words, the Turbid World Water God's foundation was above Wuzhiqi.

But even the Turbid World Water God in his prime, how could he have survived three moves in front of the Heavenly Emperor?!

There's a problem…

The Great Sun Golden Crow's brow gradually furrowed.

Before he could think carefully, a huge change had already taken place in the battlefield. Suddenly, all the light in the world converged, and the light of the stars rose and fell. The world instantly turned into a dark and empty void, and then one star after another emerged from the void, slowly rotating and shining brightly. After a slight pause, it gave people a great terror of suppressing everything.

Then, they actually slammed down towards the bottom in such a mighty manner!

The entire starry sky directly and heavily slammed down!

The terrifying sense of oppression forced the gods to continue to retreat, and the space broke continuously. Then, this vast and distant starry sky suddenly suppressed down, with flowing light and unpredictable changes. Countless rays of light burst out, plunging the entire Great Wilderness into a splendid and magnificent divine era scene. Even the gods felt their blood being compressed and constantly flowing, and felt a stinging pain in their ears.

If the Heavenly Emperor hadn't taken action to control all the destructiveness and lethality of his moves within a certain range.

The aftermath of this single move alone would be enough to accomplish the achievement of destroying the world.

And even if he had restrained his power, the existence of this move still caused huge changes to the earth, primordial energy, and sea areas.

The earth cracked, the primordial energy surged and rolled, and the seas of the divine era, even though they hadn't been hit by the stars yet.

Had already been greatly depressed and pitted by the huge primordial energy pressure.

Absolute power, extraordinary terror, the gods who were watching this battle couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation. They subconsciously replaced themselves in Wuzhiqi's position, subconsciously thinking about what they would do if they were to face such a move, and in the end, they were just terrified.

Suddenly, they heard Wuzhiqi's loud laughter: "Good, good, good!"

"This is how it should be, come on, come on!"

And in this circular and huge depression, streams of water swirled and flowed, like dragons.

As the stars fell, the water turned into dragons, circling around Wuzhiqi, roaring and lowing, and then thousands of dragons soared up, holding up the falling stars!

Dragons supporting the sky!

Then Wuzhiqi laughed loudly, and the hair all over his body stood on end, faintly stained with blood, but his momentum not only did not decrease, but rose again and again, rising to an unimaginable level. Then, he clenched his right hand and exerted force suddenly, slamming the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand fiercely on the ground. Then, he shook his body, and the weapon in his hand suddenly became larger, actually having the majestic image of supporting the sky above and propping up the earth below.

Boom!!!

Along with a burst of huge power fluctuations that almost shook the earth.

The myriad phenomena of stars that had fallen were actually forcibly held up!

Then Wuzhiqi laughed loudly and rose from the ground, stepping heavily on the weapon that supported a starry sky, directly causing that starry sky to shake violently. Then, his body swayed, accelerating crazily like an arrow leaving the string. He raised his hand and grabbed, and the myriad phenomena and myriad phenomena transformed into a long cudgel, actually attacking the Heavenly Emperor who had unleashed such power, his aura like a rainbow, dazzling people.

How dare he?!

He actually dared!

The gods were speechless.

It was as if their brains had lost the ability to think. They could only stand in the distance and watch Wuzhiqi frantically approach, rushing from the earth to the sky. Even the Great Emperor Hu widened his eyes in a daze. At this moment, how strong Wuzhiqi's strength was was no longer so important. What was important was this arrogant but fiery battle intent! It was the courage to draw a sword against the heavens!

The huge roaring sound was endless, directly stirring up the clouds of the Nine Heavens and dissipating them, shocking everything. After a long time, the great battle ended. Wuzhiqi landed on the ground, his arms bulging with blood vessels. Even his arms, which were enough to carry mountains and chase the moon, were shaking slightly, which showed that the battle just now had really reached its limit.

His face was full of the kind of joy that came from fighting to the fullest.

He laughed loudly.

In the core of the great battle, the Heavenly Emperor swept away the clouds with a flick of his sleeve. Then, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Yuan's direction lightly.

Then, he stretched out one finger, and one finger turned into two, and two fingers turned into three.

[Fight three times]

Wei Yuan, who had a relieved smile on his face: "???"

Huh???!

Is this even possible?!

When did you learn this trick too?!

But after looking at Wuzhiqi over there, Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly stretched out his hand and gestured with two fingers.

[Twice, no more!]

The Heavenly Emperor nodded nonchalantly: "Okay."

Museum Master Wei, who was bargaining, was stunned and realized—

Damn! I lost!

The Heavenly Emperor had already lowered his eyes and opened his mouth in a plain voice. The gods, who had been shaken by this battle, heard the Heavenly Emperor's cold and vast voice: "From now on, I acknowledge Wuzhiqi's strength and bestow upon him the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven [Qitian Dasheng]."

Great Sage Equaling Heaven, not Disaster Lord of the Huai River!

The expressions of the gods all changed abruptly.

[Equaling Heaven]?!

What an honor this was.

Great Sage?!

This, this, throughout the mountains and seas of the Great Wilderness, no one had ever had such a title. And just as they were shocked by this honor-like treatment, Wuzhiqi had already roared up to the sky. His energy was surging endlessly, and the aura that had already become more domineering after experiencing a deadly battle actually seemed to expand again without limit, rising again and again.

In the end, it was even about to break through the long-standing chasm between the top ten Dao Fruits and the top ten peak existences.

And Old Master Hu also exclaimed, almost crying with joy. But he saw that his body, which had already been forced to be extremely huge and heavy by the huge foundation feedback, actually began to consume rapidly. Even if Old Master Hu didn't lose weight in one breath, didn't directly lose weight to his thinnest state, he still returned to a normal, walkable appearance.

Even the young Shakya was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Ah, Old Master, you're back?"

"Hahahaha, I'm back, I'm back!"

Old Master Hu was overjoyed and directly picked up the young Shakya, and then threw him high into the air.

Old Master Hu was almost crying with joy.

I'm numb, it's finally over, it's finally successful.

He had finally recovered from the state of being made fat by that kid Wei Yuan again. It was really great.

Huh? Why did I say again?

Emperor Hu paused for a moment, and then casually threw this question to the back of his mind. This question was not important. The main point was that the matter had been resolved. Now he would go back and show it to that old fellow Shu, hey, I've lost weight, old man. What about you? Aren't you still skinny and skinny, unable to recover?

And that old Bu Zhoushan.

Look, look, do you know what slender means?

Don't know, right?

Old Master Hu's mind was full of showing off to his old brothers and letting those happy-go-lucky people see.

And Wuzhiqi had finally taken that step, using the legends based on himself as an anchor point, and then walking out of the anchor point to myth. And having reached this step, he only needed to possess a Dao Fruit to be able to step into the Dao Fruit realm as a matter of course. Wuzhiqi's character back then was not the kind to comprehend the art of controlling water and then advance to become the Water God of the Huai River.

Instead, he directly relied on being able to fight.

As long as I suppressed all the Water Gods in one breath, then I am the Water Lord.

Is there a problem?

No problem.

Although the gods in the water often had one set of words on the surface and another behind their backs, calling you Water Lord to your face and being polite on the surface, they always called Wuzhiqi a vulgar person, a water monkey, and a Disaster Lord in secret. But when had Wuzhiqi ever cared?

His character was really to act according to his heart and do as he pleased.

Why would he care about what others were chattering about?

At this moment, he was extremely happy in his heart, with no regrets left. His mind was clear, and he only wanted to find a place to refine the previous Turbid World Water God Dao Fruit, and then take advantage of this opportunity to directly step into the Dao Fruit realm, so that he could swing his cudgel and hit Wei Yuan's head hard!

At this moment, he was extremely happy in his heart. He laughed several times and directly swept up Gluttony, Emperor Hu, and Shakya.

And went towards the distance.

And Wei Yuan looked at the direction Wuzhiqi was leaving and smiled bitterly twice.

This monkey was so impetuous, like someone in a game who had obtained some top-level equipment and planned to find a place to directly equip it and try it out. As for what he would do after trying it out, did he need to say? There was no doubt that he would come to find trouble with Wei Yuan and find fault with Wei Yuan.

Was this not creating a big trouble for himself?

Wei Yuan was helpless and ridiculed himself in his heart.

Then he cupped his hands towards Dijun, and a trace of his spirituality had already transferred away—

He still needed to solve the problem of how to deal with the huge Sky Demon race.

As well as where Master should settle down.

And the matter of the Ruins of Return.

With the matter of Wuzhiqi settled, he could also feel relieved. As for congratulations… Ha, let this guy be happy for himself now, the Daoist thought in his heart, and immediately swept his sleeves, and the Qingping Sword turned into a stream of light and flew directly into his sleeves. And his immense consciousness, which could directly cover the entire battlefield, also immediately retracted.

Just as he had guessed.

Wuzhiqi at this moment was really filled with unparalleled joy, even more joyful than when he was under Gonggong's command, as one of the strongest war gods of the Water Gods, roaring in one direction. The reason was that he had finally fought the Heavenly Emperor, one of the biggest demons in his heart, face to face!

Happy!

How happy!

Wuzhiqi took down his wine pot and poured wine into his mouth, sometimes laughing and shouting wildly, sometimes striding and running wildly, crashing into the clear blue river.

Directly stirring up the water waves.

Gluttony squatted on the stone behind him, biting a yellow dead grass in his mouth, holding his chin with both hands, looking at the front with a helpless expression. His face was as distressed as if he had worked hard for a whole year, but the crops in the field had yielded nothing, and even the rats had to come out with two big bags of tears, not to mention Gluttony.

As for why—

Originally, Gluttony planned to eat back and forth.

It was just a pity that on the way he came, he ate mountains when he encountered mountains and water when he encountered water, and even treated magma as tomato soup and drank it all. It could be said that he had eaten a wide and broad road to heaven. As a result, when he left, the mountain gods and water gods who saw half of their homes being eaten were going to directly complain to the Heavenly Emperor in one breath.

As a result, the Heavenly Emperor gave that water monkey the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

Okay, how was he supposed to play this?

So everyone had to call their friends and move their families. Those who moved houses moved, and those who moved mountains moved. When Gluttony looked back.

Good fellow, there was nothing left.

It was cleaner than when Gluttony was young and "clearing the fields" on the edge of the human race.

The young Shakya, holding a copy of *Journey to the West* in his arms, patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort. Then, after thinking about it, he said a classic line from human games and said: "The wind blows the eggshell, wealth goes and people are at peace."

"Brother Jinyun, don't be sad."

"Your rice bowl will fall."

"Don't be sad, the chopsticks will laugh."

Gluttony couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Chopsticks don't laugh!"

He rubbed his messy black hair into pieces, looked at the empty world in front of him, and couldn't help but say:

"Altar Cleanser, Altar Cleanser."

"The mountains and rivers of the world are a large altar, and eating all the mountains and rivers of the world is cleansing the altar."

"So this is the Altar Cleanser."

Wuzhiqi over there had vented his anger. He even gave a hug to the monkeys who had moved slowly, and then returned under the bewildered gazes of the monkeys carrying peaches. Old Master Hu had regained his long-awaited normal figure and stroked his beard with a smile and said: "How is it, what about that Water God Dao Fruit?"

Wuzhiqi said carelessly: "I ate it."

Even Old Master Hu couldn't help but be startled and raised his eyebrows.

"Ate it?"

"What else should I wait for?"

"Wait for that Wei Yuan to cook this Dao Fruit before eating it? Humph, no need."

Wuzhiqi said smugly: "This time, I didn't let him help."

"I walked to this step myself."

"This last step naturally doesn't need his help either. When I have refined this energy, I will go find him and let him see my skills."

The young Shakya was full of curiosity and couldn't help but come over and asked: "Water Lord, Water Lord, were you fighting with that Heavenly Emperor just now?"

"I saw him directly pull the stars in the sky down to hit people. He's so powerful!"

"It's really amazing that you can fight such a strong person!"

Wuzhiqi was smug and felt that this seemingly innocent little monk had finally said something that made people happy. Then, he heard the young Shakya curiously ask again: "So Water Lord, Water Lord, did you win?"

Wuzhiqi's face froze.

Okay, I take back what I said.

Bald heads are annoying! This little guy who hasn't had his head shaved is also annoying!

He directly stretched out his hand and messed up the young Shakya's hair bun, impatiently saying: "Of course I lost. If I could beat him now, what would I be doing here? I would definitely go back, and then beat Wei Yuan up and make him call me daddy."

"However, although I'm not his opponent right now, I at least forced him to use his full strength this time."

"When I reach the Dao Fruit realm in the future, my strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Maybe I won't be his opponent at first, but in time, he, the Heavenly Emperor, may not be invincible in the world, and may not be unattainable!" Wuzhiqi said with great enthusiasm and laughed loudly. He raised the divine weapon in his hand and pointed it directly at the sky.

"Heavenly Emperor, one day, I will defeat you in a fair fight!!!"

"Hmph, laughable."

Suddenly, a cold sneer came. Wuzhiqi's laughter paused slightly, and then he raised his eyes and saw that the Great Sun in the sky had suddenly stopped. Then, the Great Sun's light fell, and vaguely, he could see a huge and luxurious palace. Among them, there were jade carvings, mysterious magic weapons, everything. A young man in gorgeous clothes had a cold expression.

It was the Great Sun Golden Crow. After the end of the war, he still needed to continue to fulfill his duty of patrolling the eight wildernesses.

Although there were questions of why his father had held back when fighting Wuzhiqi.

But as the God of the Great Sun, the duty of patrolling the eight wildernesses was greater than everything. Countless living beings were waiting for the Great Sun to patrol from the sky, letting the plants and creatures know the changes of the days. It was the Great Sun Golden Crow's responsibility, and it was also the never-ending atonement for his past sins.

Compared with these, mere curiosity was nothing.

But it just so happened that when he patrolled here, he heard Wuzhiqi's words. As the son of the Heavenly Emperor and the one who most yearned for the figure protecting the beings of the Clear World, the Great Sun Golden Crow knew everything the Heavenly Emperor had done and also knew the Heavenly Emperor's strength. Out of his heart of protecting his father, he couldn't help but speak out.

"I was wondering who it was. So it's the Great Sun Golden Crow. Shouldn't you be doing your atonement now?"

Wuzhiqi raised his eyes and looked at the cold young man. The energy clash between the two faintly gave people the feeling that neither of them could stand the other. But Wuzhiqi's state of mind was broad at this moment and he had no intention of fighting the Heavenly Emperor's son. He lazily held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand and said: "So, you're not patrolling the eight directions in the sky. What are you doing here?"

"As for whether it's laughable."

"You should go see the Heavenly Emperor."

The Great Sun Golden Crow's expression was cold, but when it came to Dijun, he still couldn't help but open his mouth and said coldly: "Could it be that Wuzhiqi, you really think you are His opponent?"

Wuzhiqi said: "The beings witnessed it. Could it be false?"

The Great Sun Golden Crow smiled lightly and said: "So you are just a frog in a well. Father… the Heavenly Emperor, he guards the border between the Clear and Turbid Worlds. If he has to expend such a huge amount of power to suppress even you, then what is the point of all those long years of hard work? How can he completely defeat and suppress the entire Turbid World alone?"

"I have here the aura of the Heavenly Emperor's full strength when he fought the enemy. Do you have the guts to see it?"

Wuzhiqi's character was also unruly.

He immediately sneered and said: "What would I be afraid of?!"

The Great Sun Golden Crow stretched out his hand and pressed it on his brow. He peeled off a small portion of the light of memory from his memory, and then held it in his palm. He just flicked it casually and threw that point of light towards Wuzhiqi. Wuzhiqi stretched out his hand and grabbed this point of light, and without paying much attention, he directly pressed it on his brow.

Then Wuzhiqi's body froze in an instant.

That was the reaction as if he had seen something impossible. Gluttony frowned slightly and looked at the Great Sun Golden Crow warily. Emperor Hu was about to persuade the Great Sun Golden Crow not to hurt harmony when he saw Wuzhiqi suddenly roar, and then retreat violently. Emperor Hu saw that Wuzhiqi's body was even trembling slightly.

His expression froze, and then he looked at the Great Sun Golden Crow and said: "What did you show him?!"

The Great Sun Golden Crow deeply looked at Wuzhiqi's trembling body.

He knew that this was fear, this was being shocked.

There was no ridicule in his eyes, only a kind of plain pity. This pity was for Wuzhiqi, and also for himself.

Because even as the son of the Heavenly Emperor, he was still overwhelmed by fear when he saw that scene with his own eyes.

From then on, he almost never called Dijun "Father" again.

The Great Sun Golden Crow slowly closed his eyes and said plainly: "It was the scene when the Heavenly Emperor killed the Turbid World Great Emperor."

"It is the origin of the cosmic dust."

Hu's face changed suddenly!

The Great Sun Golden Crow said plainly: "Wuzhiqi, I have no hostility towards you, but you must know that the Heavenly Emperor protects all living beings."

"I hope you at least understand the gap between yourself and Him."

"Understand?"

"As for fear, there's no need to be hard to accept. I also…"

Suddenly, he heard a roar from Wuzhiqi. The Great Sun Golden Crow's voice paused, and everyone heard the grief and indignation in Wuzhiqi's voice. He stretched out his hand and slammed it heavily on his chest. The severe pain made his blood vessels bulge. He was angry, resentful that he would actually be afraid, that his hands would shake.

Suddenly, Wuzhiqi directly pushed Shakya away.

Then, he grabbed the weapon in his hand, turned around, and took a step!

With a burning battle intent and a trembling body, he ran towards the Heavenly Emperor.

The angry roar was like thunder: "Dijun!!!"

"You insulted me!!!"

"Fight me with all your strength!!!"

The Great Sun Golden Crow's expression froze. He watched Wuzhiqi run back towards the Heavenly Emperor. He saw the latter's body trembling, but still carrying a burning battle intent. He suddenly recalled when he was young, when he saw his father's armor stained with blood and reaching out to him, he had run away with a face full of fear.

"You, why…"

"You clearly know how big the gap is between you and Father. How could you, how could you."

The last words, the Great Sun Golden Crow almost couldn't say—

How could you.

Still have the courage to draw your sword and fight?

How could it be!

How could it be…

"Aiya, you brat, you you you."

Emperor Hu jumped up and down with anger, looking at the stunned Great Sun Golden Crow. He couldn't bear to be harsh, and sighed: "Don't you know?"

"This guy, he has been looking at the direction of the strongest from the beginning."

"For those who have a fighting heart for the strongest and those who have a fearful heart, even if their strength is the same."

"Their choices are completely different."

"And Wuzhiqi, that is someone with an absolute fighting heart…"

Emperor Hu also quickly chased after Wuzhiqi. He was really worried that Wuzhiqi, in a fit of rage, would fight the Heavenly Emperor again and be killed there. The first time was a sparring, but to return—

This was a fair challenge!

The Great Sun Golden Crow was茫然 stunned and didn't know how long it had passed when he felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He lowered his head and saw the young Shakya with his hair bun disheveled. The latter showed a pure smile and said: "Big brother, can you take me with you? I'm a little worried about Brother Wuzhiqi."

The Great Sun Golden Crow said: "I am the Great Sun. Are you not afraid of me?"

The young Shakya shook his head and said with a smile:

"In that case, if you take me, wouldn't I be the Great Sun Tathagata combination?"

The Great Sun Golden Crow shook his head. He reached out and directly grabbed the young Shakya, and then used the Golden Crow Transforming Rainbow Technique and chased after him. His escape speed was originally extremely fast, but because he was now distraught and had to slow down because he was carrying a mortal, he was still a step slower.

When he went, he saw the gods looking shocked and with "ah, so that's how it is" expressions.

He saw Wuzhiqi raising the cudgel in his hand and roaring at the Heavenly Emperor. Then, the myriad phenomena of stars slammed down. The Heavenly Emperor's tone was calm and said: "You have courage. Since you want to feel the full strength, then try it."

"This is the weight of the heavens."

Wuzhiqi's body shook violently. The immense power almost knocked him down, and blood appeared on his body.

The Great Sun Golden Crow threw Shakya to Emperor Hu, and then transformed into a rainbow of light and appeared next to Wuzhiqi, and saluted and said: "Emperor, Water Lord came here, and I am also at fault. Please show mercy." The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes, but before he could speak, the Great Sun Golden Crow heard a muffled voice: "Get out of the way!"

A hand was on his shoulder and pushed him directly away.

Wuzhiqi had blood foam in his mouth and said: "You told me that I was actually deceived. I thank you for that."

"But this time, I want to personally experience the so-called Heavenly Emperor!"

He straightened his body little by little, his blood flowing, and then laughed mockingly: "The weight of the heavens?"

"Just this!"
