Legend Management Bureau Chapter 328

[ … words ]

Du Yu finally understood completely.

The problem did not lie with Nüwa at all, but with Fuxi.

Du Yu knew that heaven was supposed to be fair.

Anyone who could master the Mind Thought Technique had to possess a flawless heart and mind.

If they harbored even the slightest malicious intent, they would likely be unable to perform such a miraculous technique, otherwise, this world would have long been ruled by some evil god.

Izanagi and Izanami were perfect examples of this.

If they had encountered people with ulterior motives while growing up, they probably would have been manipulated into becoming mindless killing machines.

Now, Du Yu’s entire plan was thrown into chaos.

He originally thought Fuxi seemed like someone he could reason with. If he could just explain the situation clearly, he and his teammates could immediately withdraw and leave.

He wondered if Fuxi had always been like this, or if he only became this way during this specific legend.

“Sister Qianqiu… where is the present-day Fuxi?” Du Yu asked.

“The present-day one?” Dong Qianqiu shook her head slightly. “Great Emperor Fuxi did not survive to the present day. He died of old age in the past a long time ago.”

“Died of old age?” Du Yu nodded slightly. “Just as I thought. Someone like him could never become an immortal, so naturally, he wouldn’t have a lifespan comparable to the Western Queen Mother or Houtu.”

Even though he said that, he still felt troubled.

How should he handle the current situation?

Fuxi had no intention of taking Nüwa to mend the heavens. With his limited abilities, how could he possibly intervene?

Du Yu turned his head to look at Nüwa not far away. Although she was over three meters tall, her eyes and ears were currently covered, and she stood quietly in place like an obedient child.

“Sister Qianqiu, have the Seven Holy Heroes slowly approach me,” Du Yu instructed. “Also, initiate an emergency recall.”

“Eh?” Dong Qianqiu paused. “Initiate an emergency recall? Recall who?”

“Recall all of us.” Du Yu glanced around. Currently, with the exception of Liu Ling, the rest of the Seven Holy Heroes were present.

But Dong Qianqiu was in a difficult position. If she recalled everyone now… what would happen to the legend?

“Sister Qianqiu, don’t hesitate anymore,” Du Yu urged. “Entering these two legends was a gamble to begin with. Now, I am prepared to exhaust the last of my strength in a final gambit.”

“What are you going to do?” Dong Qianqiu asked.

“Help me tell all the Seven Holy Heroes to wait for my command. When I give the word, everyone will attack and eliminate Great Emperor Fuxi together.” Du Yu’s eyes grew cold as he continued, “I am going to help him ‘die of natural causes’.”

Dong Qianqiu was stunned. Although her mind was filled with questions, she dared not delay. Her previous hesitation had already caused Zhan Qisheng to suffer severe injuries, so she could only immediately follow Du Yu’s instructions.

Du Yu fixed his gaze intently on Fuxi, afraid his scheme would be discovered.

“Brother, didn’t you have something to ask me? Are you done asking?” Fuxi looked at Du Yu in confusion, completely unaware that the Seven Holy Heroes were already slowly closing in behind him.

Du Yu did not know how to answer, so he could only stall for time as much as possible. “Great Emperor Fuxi, didn’t you mention earlier that you killed many immortal beasts? Could you tell me which ones you killed so I can broaden my horizons?”

“Haha, you are interested in that?” Fuxi raised an eyebrow and declared, “There is no need to beat around the bush. If you want the Inner Cores of those immortal beasts, just make a trade with me directly.”

Du Yu pretended that his thoughts had been seen through and chuckled awkwardly. “As expected of Great Emperor Fuxi. You saw right through my little scheme.”

Fuxi began to list all the immortal beasts he and Nüwa had slaughtered over the past seven days, making Du Yu feel even more furious as he listened.

Most of the Demonic Beasts were divine and auspicious creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Yet now, because of Fuxi’s greed, they would be forever extinct from this world.

Dong Qianqiu watched the screen nervously. Right now, Du Yu and the Seven Holy Heroes were subtly forming an encirclement. Even though Fuxi did not possess the Mind Thought Technique, he still had an innate immortal body. Could a sudden ambush truly kill him?

Seeing the strange behavior of Du Yu and the Seven Holy Heroes, the numerous black-robed monks became alert and slowly moved toward Fuxi as well.

“Oh no,” Dong Qianqiu murmured, realizing something was wrong when she saw the anomaly on the screen. “Du Yu, those black-robed monks seem to have discovered your plan. What should we do now?”

Du Yu’s eyes grew cold as he replied in his mind, ‘Tell them the truth.’

“Tell them the truth?” Dong Qianqiu confirmed with Du Yu. “Are you serious?”

“Yes,” Du Yu stated firmly. “Tell them I want to kill Fuxi. Fuxi’s death will greatly benefit them as well. If they are willing to help, they can join the attack. If they don’t want to get involved, they should flee immediately.”

Even if Dong Qianqiu had a hundred thousand questions in her heart, she could only follow the plan, sending a Voice Transmission directly to the leading monk.

The monk, who was quietly advancing, suddenly heard Dong Qianqiu’s voice. He halted his steps, waved his hand, and the rest of the monks came to a standstill.

After listening to Dong Qianqiu’s words, the monk froze.

Kill Fuxi?

The monk knew that Du Yu was full of tricks. Could this be another one of his schemes?

The monk looked into Du Yu’s eyes and clearly caught a glimpse of murderous intent within them.

It seemed he really wanted to make a move against Fuxi.

But why?

Was Du Yu completely out of his mind? How dared he attempt to kill Fuxi right in front of Nüwa?

But on second thought, the only way to escape their current predicament was to take action against these two great deities. Naturally, they could not touch Nüwa, making Fuxi their only viable target.

The leading monk pondered for a long moment before turning around and whispering to the group, “Retreat.”

“Retreat?” The monks had no idea what Dong Qianqiu had said to their leader, so this sudden retreat left them completely baffled.

However, the leading monk knew perfectly well that their mission had already deviated from ‘you must kill Du Yu’ to ‘let Nüwa kill Du Yu’.

Even if Du Yu did not die, the world would lose Great Emperor Fuxi, leaving behind a Nüwa who lacked her pillar of support.

This was incredibly good news for Mahakala no matter how one looked at it, so there was no longer any need to stay here.

The monk cast a spell toward the sky. A moment later, a beam of black light slowly shot down from above, landing precisely among the monks.

“Let’s go. We will return and report to Mahakala,” the leading monk said, stepping inside first. Soon after, the rest of the monks vanished into the black light one by one.

Catching this scene out of the corner of his eye, a faint, imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of Du Yu’s lips.

“It seems the first step of the plan is a success.”

“Ah!” Dong Qianqiu suddenly realized something. “Du Yu, did you pretend you were going to attack just to force those monks to retreat?”

Hearing this, Du Yu’s lips barely moved as he replied, “Quite the opposite, Sister Qianqiu.”
