Rewriting the Gods

"It makes sense!"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi's eyes flashed with thought, and then he nodded in agreement. If he wanted the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit first, those two from the West would certainly not agree. Then he could take a step back and ask for something else, and then those two from the West would find it difficult to refuse.

"So according to you, what should we ask the West for?"

Nuwa on the side turned and looked at Jiang Haofeng after hearing this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also focused on Jiang Haofeng. Everyone present was smart and naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Haofeng's words. The Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit was a cover, but since he mentioned the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, he must have thought of what he really wanted.

"According to me, you can ask the West for two treasures."

"One is the Six Pure Bamboos, to compensate the Human King for his loss. The Human King was invaded by the calamity energy. Since the two saints in the West cannot recover, this treasure will be used as compensation!"

"As for the second point, what the two saints of the West did has angered the heavens and the people, and has angered both the gods and the people. Compensating the loss of the human king is only the most basic thing. Apart from that, the two saints of the West should make amends to Nuwa and our human race!"

"I heard that there is a great treasure in Mount Xumi in the west, called the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, which has bred countless great treasures. There is also a golden lotus that evolved from the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus. The highest one can bloom to the ninth rank, which is the Ninth-Rank Golden Lotus. It is the best spiritual object in the world."

"The West is immoral this time. They must compensate the Queen with a ninth-grade golden lotus and compensate our human race with a ninth-grade golden lotus!"

After a pause, Jiang Haofeng spoke again: "If possible, you can ask for another one in the name of compensation to the Human King!"

Nuwa glanced at Jiang Haofeng, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head and said:
"Two are enough. The lotus pedestal is of the ninth grade, which is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It would be extremely difficult to breed such a treasure even with the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit."

"The West is already barren, with thin spiritual energy, and not many people in the Western sects. I'm afraid there are only two or three ninth-grade golden lotuses in total. Two will be enough."

"You're asking for too much. Given their personalities, pushing them too hard could backfire."

"Now that the catastrophe has arrived, the saints of Zixiao Palace have signed the List of Gods. It is not appropriate to confront the Western Church at this time."

After Nuwa finished speaking, everyone present nodded. Anyone with a discerning eye could already see that the people who would be mainly affected by this calamity would be the Orthodox Sect, the Deviant Sect and the human race. The calamity was already dangerous, and dragging the Western religion into it, at least as an enemy, was not what everyone wanted to see.

Jiang Haofeng pointedly said: "Even if we want to drag the Western Church into the calamity, we can't do it at this time. We must get the things first!"

"If we fall out now, this golden opportunity will be wasted."

Nuwa heard the implied meaning in Jiang Haofeng's words, looked up at Jiang Haofeng with a gleam in her eyes, but didn't say anything.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors looked at each other, with a thoughtful look in their eyes, obviously thinking about the pros and cons of dragging the Western Religion into the catastrophe.

Nuwa retracted her gaze and said directly: "Then let's decide it this way."

"I want the Six Pure Bamboos, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure transformed from the bitter bamboo, one of the ten innate spiritual roots, and two ninth-grade golden lotuses."

Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked, "What if the West is unwilling to hand over even these three things?"

As Xuanyuan finished speaking, Nuwa's expression suddenly changed, and a mighty power of a saint swept out, "He will surrender if he wants to, and he will surrender if he doesn't want to!"

"I don't want to provoke the two saints from the West, but I'm not someone to be trifled with. If they don't hand it over, then we'll go up to Mount Xumi and take it ourselves!"

Nuwa's domineering voice echoed in the Fire Cloud Cave. The eyes of everyone in the cave lit up at the same time, and they couldn't help but speak up.

·······
In the chaos, the weak Zhunti sat cross-legged on the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit, his aura extremely weak.

"Junior brother, how did Nuwa find you?"

"Logically speaking, with your great cause and effect, even if there is a backlash, Nuwa will not notice it if you attack in secret."

"Could it be that Nuwa did not go to Huoyun Cave to find Fuxi this time?"

Zhunti shook his head and said, "It's not Nuwa, it's Haofeng from the human race, who ruined my plan again."

"I don't know why, but that human Haofeng is guarding the Human King. Although I have noticed his whereabouts, the opportunity is rare and will never come again. If I don't destroy the luck of the human race, it will be difficult for my West to prosper."

“If Nuwa stands on the side of the human race, the human race has the support of saints, and with the support of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even if Haotian controls the Three Realms, he will not deliberately embarrass the human race. Even if the great era of the gods arrives, the human race’s destiny will not necessarily be destroyed.”

"I attacked right away, intending to resist his magic and then flee. But now the aura of the prehistoric catastrophe is so pervasive that even Nuwa would find it difficult to detect any abnormality."

"Everything went smoothly at the beginning. The magical power that Haofeng learned from the Wu Clan was a little too powerful, but it was also within the acceptable range. I thought everything would go smoothly."

"I didn't expect that Nuwa would send down her spirit before I could leave."

At this point, Zhunti had a look of confusion on his face. This shouldn't be the case. Although Nuwa was a saint, known to have great magical powers, boundless magic power, and to be omnipotent, those were just the views of saints by those below the saints. As saints themselves, Zhunti and Jie Yin had some understanding of Nuwa's abilities.

If there were no calamity energy, Nuwa would indeed be able to sense the abnormality in an instant and send down her soul.

But now there is the energy of a catastrophe, the mysteries of heaven are in chaos and unclear, and cause and effect are difficult to find. Even if Nuwa is a saint, she cannot do this. Otherwise, Zhunti would not have taken action in the Nuwa Temple.

However, the development of the matter exceeded the expectations of the two, as if someone had directly told Nuwa about this matter when Zhunti just took action, otherwise Nuwa should not have come so quickly.

After he finished speaking, a look of doubt appeared on Jie Yin's face. The plan was made by the two of them together, so logically, there shouldn't be any problems.

After a moment, Jie Yin shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's get through this disaster first and then make plans."

"Now that my junior brother is seriously injured, Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have joined forces. If they start a war, Mount Xumi will be in danger, and our Western Religion will be in danger. Without the Western Religion, there will be no talk of reviving the West."

"We can only give up some of our interests first."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti couldn't help but sigh, "This is the only way!"

Jie Yin sat cross-legged on the lotus platform and said faintly, "From ancient times to the present, we have made many attempts to plot against the human race, but were always disrupted by this Hao Feng."

"Given the current situation of the human race, it will be extremely difficult to prosper the West."

"This person is the calamity for the prosperity of my Western Regions. He must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"It's best to use this opportunity to survive this catastrophe!"

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Zhunti's eyes, but after only a moment, the cold light was replaced by hesitation.

"Brother, you and I became saints through the merits of Heaven, and we still owe Heaven merits. Although Hao Feng has not yet attained enlightenment, he has great merits. If we kill him, it may damage our sainthood."

"If you and I don't take action, with his great cultivation path and his magical power of creating the world, all the disciples in the sect will definitely not be his match."

Jie Yin's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he spoke calmly:

"Hao Feng has great merits and has made great contributions to the world. Even if there is a mistake, we cannot kill him directly. It is better to suppress him in one place and let him reflect for a kalpa to preserve the Great Dao!"

Zhunti's eyes lit up when he heard this. Indeed, why should he be killed? He could be suppressed. Killing him would not only lose merit, but if he was not careful, he might be included in the Conferred God List. With Haofeng's merit and power, once he was included in the Conferred God List, he would definitely be conferred a godhood of the level of the Four Imperial Emperors. If he was not careful, he would be a big trouble in the future. It would be better to suppress him!
Thinking of this, Zhunti smiled slightly and said:
"good!"

As the two were talking, a stream of light came out from the Fire Cloud Cave. When the light fell, two figures were revealed. They were Nuwa and Jiang Haofeng. To be more precise, they were Jiang Haofeng's past incarnation.

With the arrival of the two, Zhunti and Jie Yin looked over at the same time. Their eyes swept over Nuwa, and then fell on Jiang Haofeng at the same time. They stayed on Jiang Haofeng for a moment and then withdrew their gazes.

It was as if they were curious about himself, the strongest human being outside the Fire Cloud Cave. There was nothing worthy of attention, but Jiang Haofeng was stared at by two people, and subconsciously had a bad premonition in his heart.

As if something bad was about to happen.

Jiang Haofeng immediately became alert. Sometimes intuition is very accurate, especially the intuition of immortals. These two might be doing something bad to him.

But it's also true that this time I caught Zhunti in the act, and let the Two Western Saints' shameful things be exposed to everyone, causing the Two Western Saints to be directly suppressed by Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Given the temperament of these two, how could they not resent me?

Jie Yin retracted his gaze, looked at Nu Wa and asked:
"Have you, fellow Taoists, discussed this?"

"nature!"

Nuwa nodded, and then spoke out what everyone had discussed in the Fire Cloud Cave.

After the words fell, Jie Yin and Zhunti frowned at the same time:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit is the treasure of my Western Sect. I will never give it to you!"

As soon as Nuwa finished speaking, Jie Yin and Zhunti directly refused without any hesitation.

Nuwa Niangniang hesitated for a moment and then told everyone their true conditions.

However, after he finished speaking, Jie Yin still shook his head, showing no embarrassment at all for repeatedly refusing.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't go too far. The Six Roots of Purity Bamboo is my junior brother's original magic weapon. It holds the Three Corpses. It is the object of his life and property. How can I give it up?"

"As for the Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus, it is nonsense. There is no such thing in my Mount Xumi. I don't know where you heard it from."

"Please change the conditions, fellow Taoist."

Without waiting for Nuwa to attack, Zhunti spoke again: "How about this."

“Fellow Daoist Nuwa, it was indeed my fault for what happened to Emperor Xin. Perhaps it was because of the influence of the calamity energy that caused my junior brother to attack the Human King, leading to the current situation.”

"Why don't I pass down two volumes of the Western Dharma Scriptures and give them to the Human King."

“Although the Human King cannot practice cultivation, his enlightenment through reading the scriptures is indeed not affected. Reading the Dharma scriptures thoroughly can help the Human King resolve his distracting thoughts and dispel the calamity energy.”

"At the same time, to express our apology, my two brothers are willing to give a lecture in Chaoge City, talking about my wonderful ten days in the West, in order to resolve the cause and effect. What do you think?"

Hearing Jie Yin's words, Jiang Haofeng was stunned. He had heard that the Two Saints of the West were extremely thick-skinned, and today he finally saw it.

Originally, they were trying to assassinate the Human King but were caught. As a result, these two people from the West not only did not want to take anything, but also wanted to use this opportunity to pass down the Taoist tradition among the human race and thus settle the cause and effect.

Wanting to turn a bad thing into a good thing directly is really outrageous!

"joke!"

Nuwa snorted coldly, "The human race has the Three Pure Ones magic, so we don't need your unorthodox method!"

"As for the life and death, it's even more ridiculous. You are a saint, how can you have your life and death intertwined with an innate spiritual treasure?"

"Humph!"

"Get the lead, Zhunti!"

"I have experienced the shamelessness of the two of you in the ancient times. There is no point in saying more!"

"Six pure bamboos, two ninth-grade golden lotuses of merit!"

"This is the condition we proposed. Take it out and the cause and effect will be settled!"

"If you can't get it out, I will go to Lingshan Mountain and get it myself!"

The voice of Nuwa echoed through the void, causing the chaos to rumble.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhunti and Jie Yin, waiting for their response.

The two looked at each other and communicated with their eyes for a moment. Zhunti showed a bitter look on his face and bowed to the two of them and said:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, and little friend Haofeng!"

"I was wrong this time, and I should apologize."

"But my Western Region has suffered a lot. In the past, during the great war between Taoism and Demonism, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou went against the grain and directly destroyed all the spiritual veins in the West. Since then, the West has become extremely barren!"

"Even after countless years of nurturing by my two brothers, the West is now far inferior to the East in spiritual beauty. In the entire West, there are only the few spiritual treasures in my two brothers' hands. We need them to restore the spiritual veins of the West and nurture the foundation of the West. We really can't touch them."

"If it moves, the already barren West will become even more barren. What will happen to the countless creatures in the West?"

"Please, for the sake of the countless sentient beings in the West, leave them a glimmer of hope. Zhunti will be grateful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless powerful people in the Three Realms either sneered or shook their heads in silence, while many people also felt compassion.

Following Zhunti's words, everyone's eyes shifted from the two Western saints to Nuwa and Jiang Haofeng, and everyone was waiting for their response.

Without waiting for Nuwa to speak, Jiang Haofeng snorted coldly and said directly:

"What a joke! Your Western world is barren, what does it have to do with us humans?"

"Before our human race was born, your west was already barren. This karma will never fall on our human race!"

"Could it be that the barrenness of the West is the reason why you, a great saint, would take action against the king of our human race?"

"The two things cannot be confused. You, the Westerners, were the first to harm our human race. We, the human race, respect you as a saint and will settle the cause and effect with you!"

"I have proposed three conditions, and you have rejected them three times. Although you are a saint, you should not be too arrogant!" (End of this chapter)
