One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 862 Eliminate the Third Brother First
Nuwa, as the earliest mythological figure, is the mother of humankind, who mended the sky and saved the world.

In various fantasy novels and games, they are among the most powerful and highest-ranking gods.

As long as the Chinese nation exists, the status of Goddess Nuwa will never be diminished.

Therefore, Nuwa, the goddess of the Legend of Sword and Fairy world, is one of the three original and strongest innate gods in the Legend of Sword and Fairy world. She easily subdued the five demon gods in the Legend of Sword and Fairy world and sealed them into the Five Elemental Pearls.

The Five Elemental Pearls possess boundless spiritual power, making them treasured possessions of the gods even in the Celestial Realm of the Immortal Sword world.

Fei Peng once possessed a Wind Spirit Pearl, which he later gave to the Divine Tree Guardian Xi Yao for self-defense.

However, these Five Elemental Pearls were only made by the Goddess Nuwa using the remaining remains of her defeated enemies.

Last time in the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy, it was with the help of the Goddess Nuwa that Hu Xiuwu, Fei Peng, and Chonglou were able to successfully defeat the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.

Nuwa may not be a Great Immortal in the Dark Mythology world, but she definitely possesses the abilities and combat power of a Great Immortal.

It may seem that Huaguo Mountain only has one Great Luo Golden Immortal, but in reality, just like the Heavenly Court, Huaguo Mountain has two Great Luo Golden Immortals in charge at the same time.

Only Mount Ling truly relies solely on the Buddha, making it the weakest of the three major powers.

The goddess Nuwa was Hu Xiuwu's true trump card, the backup plan he pinned his hopes on.

The allied forces of gods and demons in the Water Curtain Cave, along with the divine general Fei Peng and the demon lord Chong Lou, can all be considered to be providing cover for the goddess Nuwa.

By convincing the Jade Emperor that Hu Xiuwu had summoned these subordinates, two of whom were war gods comparable to Sun Wukong, Hu Xiuwu had gained power.

Fortunately, the goddess Nuwa hid in the Water Curtain Cave, quiet and peaceful, without revealing any trace of her presence.

They successfully infiltrated the area.

Nuwa drank the celestial tea in her hand, enough to add five hundred years to the lifespan of the Taiyi Immortal, and then asked Hu Xiuwu:

Now that you've taken the first step, what are your plans next?

Hu Xiuwu said, "Connect the idle pieces that were placed earlier."

Over the course of five hundred years, Hu Xiuwu and Sun Wukong were not entirely enemies; they also made friends, such as Erlang Shen, the Bull Demon King, Maitreya Buddha, the Four River Dragon Gods, Subhuti Patriarch, and Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals.

Now that Hu Xiuwu has openly declared his opposition to the Heavenly Court and has the ability and base to protect them, it is the perfect opportunity to gather their scattered forces together.

While strengthening themselves, they weakened the enemy's strength.

Especially for Lingshan, if Maitreya Buddha is willing to help Hu Xiuwu eliminate Tathagata Buddha, Lingshan will lose the power of the future Buddha lineage, which would be adding insult to injury for Lingshan, which is currently beset by snow and surrounded by enemies.

Hu Xiuwu could also take this opportunity to eliminate Lingshan.

Eliminate the weak first, then deal with the strong!

Before Hu Xiuwu revealed the Jade Emperor's true origins, there might still be a possibility for him and Buddha to cooperate. However, once the Jade Emperor realized that Hu Xiuwu knew their origins...

Hu Xiuwu has become the public enemy of the remaining Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Perhaps in the world of Black Myth, Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and Laozi have different origins and backgrounds, but in the fantasy world that grew from the remains of the snake god, their origins are the same.

Knowing this secret, they would certainly set aside their past grievances and prioritize eliminating Hu Xiuwu.

It was precisely because Hu Xiuwu understood this situation that he stopped contacting Laozi. He was very clear that Laozi would never cooperate with him again.

However, Hu Xiuwu did it anyway.

There was simply no other way out for Hu Xiuwu.

Without such probing, Hu Xiuwu would have no way of knowing the truth about the Black Myth world.

If he didn't know the truth, Hu Xiuwu wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

What if, somewhere in the world, a serpent god's clone is hiding, and while Hu Xiuwu, the Emperor, and Buddha are fighting to the death, this serpent god's clone gets the upper hand, becoming the fisherman who reaps the benefits, and doing the work for someone else? Determining whether a serpent god's clone exists is more important than the opportunity to form alliances.

Hu Xiuwu raised his glass and said, "Please be patient a little longer, Goddess Nuwa. It's not time for you to make your appearance yet."

There's no need for Goddess Nuwa to deal with Mount Ling; what Hu Xiuwu needs to do is figure out how to prevent the Heavenly Court from interfering.

The Heavenly Court and Mount Ling are already on the same side, and when facing Hu Xiuwu, the Heavenly Court will definitely lend a hand.

If you're not careful, you might go from dealing with one Buddha to dealing with three Great Immortals.

With the help of the goddess Nuwa, Hu Xiuwu will be safe, but the war will inevitably become a stalemate.

There are many worlds that need to be connected across the myriad realms, and Hu Xiuwu cannot afford to waste too much time on conquering the Black Myth.

This gives the other serpent god clones time to grow.

"...Now is the time for my idler to be put to use."

Hu Xiuwu raised his cup to drink tea.

······
“Maitreya Buddha, why do you insist on forming an alliance with the enemy of Buddha?”

"Lingshan has never wronged you."

In the Great Thunder Temple, the Buddha's body is as majestic as a mountain, looking down from above at Maitreya Buddha, who resembles a chubby little child.

Maitreya Buddha's contact with Hu Xiuwu was discovered by Tathagata.

Hu Xiuwu used the "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Great Method" to contact Maitreya Buddha.

He was not discovered, but when Maitreya Buddha replied to Hu Xiuwu, it was discovered by Tathagata Buddha.

Last time, after Hu Xiuwu and Nezha infiltrated the Buddhist Kingdom, Tathagata reviewed the reasons.

Mount Ling is the territory of the Buddha. As a Great Luo, He can do whatever He wants here. As long as He is serious, there is nothing on Mount Ling that can be hidden from Him.

Capture the details, investigate the smallest particles, and, if necessary, rewind time.

The Buddha Tathagata detected a tiny clue left behind after the use of the "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing" technique.

The "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing" technique used by Hu Xiuwu is blessed with the ability to stand upright without shadows, making it impossible for the Buddha to detect.

However, Maitreya Buddha used his "heavenly vision and earthly hearing" to reply to Hu Xiuwu, which was then discovered by Tathagata.

Maitreya Buddha shouldn't have been so careless, but he learned of something important that he needed to inform Hu Xiuwu as soon as possible.

Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, the three Bodhisattvas, invited Maitreya Buddha back to the Mahavira Hall of Daleiyin Temple.

Three great bodhisattvas, whose actual merits surpassed those of many Buddhas, formed a triangle, suppressing Maitreya Buddha in the center.

Although Maitreya Buddha was not wearing shackles, he actually carried the weight of three sacred mountains, whose magical power and supernatural abilities were suppressed.
Maitreya Buddha was dressed in ordinary robes, and a smile still graced his face, though it was tinged with bitterness.
“Amitabha Buddha, I believe in your philosophy. Mount Ling is a benevolent place that guides people toward goodness.”

"But everything has changed now; you have strayed from your original intentions."

Maitreya Buddha earnestly tried to persuade Tathagata Buddha to regain his benevolence.

The Buddha Tathagata looked coldly at Maitreya Buddha: "What you think it is, never existed from the very beginning."

Maitreya Buddha knows nothing; Mount Ling has been in its current form since it truly came into existence.

That radiant, benevolent, guiding mountain of all beings has existed only in the memory of Maitreya Buddha from the very beginning.

It never existed.
