The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 195 The Fall of the Ancestral God
With a soft thud, Ru Shou's arm tore through the phoenix's feathers like a sharp blade, piercing into its body, and the fierce energy strangled the phoenix's divine power.

Almost simultaneously, however, the phoenix's sharp claws pierced through Ru Shou's body, and then flames, though restrained in power, ignited and clung to Ru Shou's body like a leech, engulfing him and causing him to let out a terrified roar: "No!"

"What kind of fire is that? How can it be so terrifying?" Feeling Ru Shou's aura rapidly weakening, Fuxi couldn't help but be surprised and moved.

Zhu Rong squinted and said, "It seems that Phoenix has comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire and created this strange flame by combining the Heavenly Dao of Yin and the Heavenly Dao of Fire. However, its power should not be this strong!"

“It’s not just the mysteries of the Yin Heavenly Dao and the Fire Heavenly Dao, but also the Water Heavenly Dao and the Metal Heavenly Dao. This flame actually contains an attribute of immortality, which is just right to restrain Ru Shou and the Ancestral Dragon,” Nuwa said, shaking her head.

"Ru Shou." Seeing Ru Shou suffer a loss, Zu Long was somewhat surprised and hurriedly attacked Phoenix again.

However, the phoenix with its wings folded up was engulfed in an undying flame, which completely trapped Ru Shou, as if trying to bind and burn him to death.

Boom! The Ancestral Dragon, enraged, launched a frenzied and unrestrained attack on the Phoenix, causing it to tremble violently and its feathers to scatter.
However, the ancestral dragon, who was close to the phoenix, was also tainted by the flames of immortality. Faced with those leeching flames, its divine power was rapidly depleted.

Jumang hurriedly tried to stop the Ancestral Dragon, but unexpectedly he was also tainted by the Undying Flame. Fortunately, the Undying Flame on his body was immediately taken back by the Phoenix.

Ah! Amidst a frantic and unwilling roar, a violent and terrifying energy explosion resounded, instantly shattering the phoenix's wings and tearing its divine body apart as if struck by lightning, scattering a large number of feathers.
"Ru Shou self-destructed?" Nuwa and Zhurong's expressions changed drastically. A dignified ancestral god, just like that, died?
The power of a ancestral god's self-destruction is unimaginable. The phoenix's divine body nearly collapsed. Although it quickly reformed, its divine power was also greatly depleted.

"Ru Shou, Phoenix, die!" After a moment of stunned silence, the Ancestral Dragon's eyes turned ferocious and mad. With a low roar, he unleashed a violent aura as he charged toward the Phoenix, radiating dazzling light as if he had transformed into the sun.

Faced with the Ancestral Dragon's frenzied attacks, the Phoenix also met the Ancestral Dragon head-on with a resolute look in its eyes. Its divine body suddenly expanded and transformed into a raging flame that quickly devoured the Ancestral Dragon's body.
Amidst the mournful and unwilling roars of the dragon, terrifying flames transformed into a violent energy storm that spread outwards, while phoenix feathers shot out like sharp swords, falling into the dragon army.

Instantly, some of the dragon formations that had transformed into divine dragons collapsed, and many powerful dragons who had been tainted by the flames of immortality screamed as they turned to ashes.
Several dragon gods even received special attention from Feng Yu, struggling painfully in the immortal flames. Although their powerful divine bodies were unharmed, their divine souls were quickly annihilated and dissipated.

"What terrifying undead fire!" All the powerful figures watching the battle felt their scalps tingle.

Nuwa, Zhurong, and the other ancestral gods, who never expected the battle to end so quickly and suddenly, looked rather grim.

As the firestorm spread, a massive fire dragon burst forth, struggling to sweep across the panicked and retreating Phoenix Clan army before the flames quickly dissipated and vanished into nothingness.

"The Phoenix is ​​dead? The Ancestral Dragon is dead too? And Ru Shou, so this is how they died in internal strife," Shi Mo sighed inwardly, holding his breath. "Ru Shou's death was too aggrieved. I'm afraid neither he nor the Ancestral Dragon expected that the Phoenix could unleash such a troublesome and terrifying flame."

As for Jumang, he was lucky. He escaped the firestorm in a sorry state, his body still burning with an inextinguishable flame, though he was weak. Fortunately, Gonggong intervened in time to extinguish the flames and save his life.

"Phoenix." Jumang, who had survived, looked at the devastated battlefield in the void, and his expression became grim and complicated.

"Mother." Above the chaotic Phoenix Clan army, the handsome man in brocade robes, Kong Xuan, looked somewhat pale, while the delicate-looking girl beside him was in tears.

They are none other than Kong Xuan, the son of the ancestral god Phoenix, the future Buddhist Peacock King, and his sister Kong Xiu.

At the forefront of the equally devastated remnants of the dragon army, among the few surviving powerful figures of the dragon race beside Zhulong, the True God Bi'an gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with pain and resentment: "Father."

"Alright, that's enough! You dragons and phoenixes should stop fighting," Nuwa said, seeing that both sides seemed ready to fight again.

Once Nuwa spoke, Jumang didn't say anything more, and Kong Xuan and Bi'an naturally didn't dare to have any objections.

After all, the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan have already suffered too many casualties. If they continue fighting, the remaining resources of the two clans will probably be exhausted.

The remaining forces of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan retreated, and the two powerful clans that once dominated the Pangu World were severely weakened.

Watching the departing group of powerful beings, he couldn't help but subconsciously turn his gaze to Zhu Rong and Gong Gong with a complex expression.

With the decline of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, the two strongest forces in the prehistoric world were the kingdoms led by Zhu Rong and Gong Gong.

Faced with the gazes of a group of powerful beings, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, who understood each other perfectly, couldn't help but exchange a glance. Their eyes seemed to spark in mid-air, and the invisible force caused ripples to spread through the space.

"Enough! The Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix are dead. Do you two want to perish together with them?" Nuwa said coldly with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong paused for a moment before shifting their gaze with somewhat unnatural expressions.

Nuwa then solemnly continued, "Remember this: some conflicts are fine, but if you continue to recklessly wage war, I will not stand idly by. In the battle between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, three Ancestral Gods died. How many Ancestral Gods does our Pangu World have left to sustain your constant attrition?"

"Nuwa, don't worry, I never thought of fighting him to the death," Zhurong shook his head and said repeatedly.

Seeing Gonggong's pouting expression, Houtu couldn't help but say, "We can't keep risking our lives like this. Is it really worth it? What kind of grudge do we have?"

"I hope you can all learn from this lesson. If you continue to go your own way, I can't stop you," Nuwa said, her gaze sweeping over the group of powerful beings before she left with Fuxi.

Houtu then departed, and the group of powerful figures also left with mixed feelings.

"Jumang, your injuries are severe. Come to my place and recover slowly!" Gonggong said to Jumang.

Zhu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, while Ju Mang shook his head listlessly and said, "No need to trouble yourself! I will remember your kindness."

After saying this, Jumang left without waiting for Gonggong to say anything more, as he needed to find a place to rest and recover.

"Let's go!" Gonggong frowned as he watched Jumang leave, then called Wuzhiqi and the others to leave.

"Shi Mo, we'll head back now. Let's get together sometime," Zhu Rong said with a smile to Shi Mo, before leaving with Lei Shen and Yuan.

After watching them leave, Shi Mo said to Jiu Feng and the others, "You guys go back first!"

Although he had known for some time that Phoenix and the Ancestral Dragon would perish, witnessing the demise of three ancestral gods still left Shi Mo deeply disturbed. Moreover, a major battle between Zhu Rong and Gong Gong was inevitable, a battle that would cause Mount Buzhou to collapse, likely creating an even greater uproar.
The great battle between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, and the fall of the three ancestral gods, has already caused a huge sensation in the entire Pangu World.

Many forces and powerful individuals seemed to be frightened and became more low-key, making the entire Pangu World unusually peaceful for a time.

However, all of this is only temporary; people are forgetful, and gods and demons are even more so.

The peace of the Pangu world did not last long, as the remaining forces of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan began to fight again, after all, they were now mortal enemies.

This endless struggle left even Nuwa and other ancestral gods somewhat helpless.

For the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, it doesn't really mean much; it just makes them consume even more of their already limited spiritual energy.

After a period of fierce fighting and heavy casualties, the dragon and phoenix clans gradually calmed down, and the fighting decreased.

On the contrary, as time went by, more and more powerful beings and even true gods and ancestral gods were born, and the peace of the Pangu world was slowly broken again, and fighting became the norm once more.

Where there are people, there will be conflict; this is unavoidable. After all, even gods, demons, and immortals have desires and emotions.

However, these disputes basically had little to do with Shi Mo, and no one dared to provoke him.

As for the frequent conflicts and battles between the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom, the True God Dao Ancestor usually does not participate.

The fall of Zu Long and his comrades led to a long period of restraint in the conflict between the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom.

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye. The relatively peaceful Pangu world was finally plunged into another great war as the conflict between the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom intensified.
"Sigh, is it still unavoidable?" At the summit of Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain, beside a cliff near a peach grove, Shi Mo frowned and sighed helplessly. He had just received a telepathic message from Zhu Rong summoning him to war with the Water Kingdom.

"Shi Mo, everyone's gathered, we can set off now," Jiu Feng's figure suddenly appeared behind Shi Mo.

Having received instruction from Shi Mo in body refining and qi refining methods, Jiu Feng, possessing even purer magical power than a first-class true immortal, had her divine soul nurtured and finally broke through to become a true god.

After her divine body and soul became powerful enough, Jiufeng, though not yet having comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire, had comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

In fact, for true gods and Dao ancestors, with a powerful enough divine soul and a high enough realm, it is easy to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it is not difficult to spend some time to fully understand it.

Therefore, the true gods and Dao ancestors of the Three Realms period could easily reach any large or small world, and performing the Great Teleportation was as simple as eating and drinking for them.

However, it is very difficult to gain a deep understanding of the Dao of time and space, like the Bodhi Patriarch did.

"Let's go!" Shi Mo glanced back at Jiu Feng, then led his army of gods and demons away from Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain. A moment later, they arrived at the meeting point agreed upon with Zhu Rong, above a range of mountains that marked the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom.

"Brother Zhurong." Seeing Zhurong, the ancestral god who was the leader of some true gods and ancestral masters among the mighty army of gods and demons of the Fire Kingdom, flying past with the Nine Phoenixes, Shi Mo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glance at the more than ten powerful beings behind him.

Unexpectedly, so many powerful beings have gathered under Zhu Rong's command. It seems that the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom have indeed replaced the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan as the two new overlords of the Pangu World!

However, Shi Mo was somewhat surprised that the few remaining true gods of the dragon race, led by Zhulong and including Bi'an, the son of the Ancestral Dragon, had all joined Zhurong's ranks.

The dragon race has already suffered heavy losses. Instead of recuperating, they want to join Zhu Rong in the struggle against the water kingdom. They really can't stand being alone!
"Shi Mo, Jiu Feng, you've finally arrived!" Zhu Rong's face lit up with a smile upon seeing Shi Mo, and his enthusiasm caused the powerful figures behind him to react with varying expressions.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Rong introduced those powerful beings to Shi Mo.

Shi Mo was not familiar with most of them, but he did have some impression of the Bi'an. Its daughter, Empress Xi, had become a top-tier Dao Ancestor, much more powerful than him.

With Emperor Xi around, even if the dragon race declines, it will still be able to preserve some of its vitality.

As for the other sons of the First Emperor, it seems that none of them were particularly outstanding. Compared to the Phoenix's two children, the First Emperor's nine sons were far inferior.

After briefly introducing himself to Bi'an and the others, Shi Mo couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhurong, what exactly is going on? Do you really want to have a big battle with Gonggong?"

"There's no other way. This war was started by Xiang Liu. The Water Kingdom killed many of my Fire Kingdom's strongmen. We have no choice but to fight," Zhu Rong said helplessly. Even if he didn't want to fight, he had to consider the morale of the people in the Fire Kingdom.

"Xiang Liu, why does he insist on starting a war?" Shi Mo asked in confusion.

“Because I killed his son, he’s determined to fight me to the death,” Thor’s words left Shi Mo speechless and astonished. “Xiang Liu’s son? He has a son?”

"The Xiangliu clan is a very famous divine and demonic clan in the Pangu world. Don't you know?" Thor frowned at Shi Mo with a strange expression.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mo paused for a moment, recalling that during the Three Realms period, Ji Ning encountered a primordial spirit demon of the Xiangliu clan who was protecting Shao Yan Nong, the young master of the Shao Yan clan, and ultimately killed him and Shao Yan Nong together.

Although some powerful gods and demons have almost no offspring, there are always exceptions. Xiang Liu does not seem to be a Chaos True God, but rather a Primordial God or Demon who cultivated into a True God, so it is not surprising that he has a son.

"Thor, why did you kill his son for no reason?" Shi Mo looked at Thor with some helplessness. Was it worth it to start this war because of the death of Xiang Liu's son?

Thor retorted irritably, "How would I know it's his son?"

Shi Mo was speechless. Given Thor's temper, even if he knew, he would probably kill him if he wanted to; he was not known for his good temper.

"Alright, there's no point in talking about this now," Zhu Rong said. "Since Xiang Liu has started this war and Gong Gong hasn't stopped it, we have no choice but to fight back."

As they spoke, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, the vast army of gods and demons from the distant Water Kingdom had already charged in.
