When they heard the immortal officials running and shouting, all the gods in the Dou Department were moved. They all held their weapons, put on armor and battle robes and stood up. Even Taiyin Yuanjun looked serious, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his beautiful face. It was obvious that Taiyin Yuanjun, who was temporarily taking over the duties of the Dou Department's master, cared a lot about everything in the Dou Department.
But when I heard that the problem was with Huo Yao.
The immortals, gods, generals and officers were instead stunned.
There is no longer that sense of sharpness, there is a sense of sudden stagnation and then deflation.
For some reason, they didn't feel the slightest bit of a ripple in their hearts when Huo Yao got into trouble.
Something unexpected happened in the Dou Department!
How is this possible!
Huh? You mean Huoyao?
That's no problem.
The elegant Taiyin Yuanjun pressed her forehead and said helplessly, "Why is it Huoyao again?"
The general of the Dou Department said hesitantly: "After removing Huo Yao, there is nothing left in the Dou Department..."
“That’s true.”
Everyone was already familiar with the changes of the Fire Star, so Taiyin Yuanjun immediately issued an imperial decree, ordering the Five Star Gods of the Dou Department to come forward in person. The Water Star God, or the Water Deity Star God, was beaten half to death by the South Pole Zhuling Emperor because he wanted to open the Milky Way to flood the Nine Provinces during the previous catastrophe or the beginning of the world, but was then beheaded by the North Pole Exorcism Institute.
Although he is the head of the Water Department, he also holds a position in the Fighting Department.
The Exorcism Institute under the Northern Emperor showed no mercy at all.
However, within these six realms, there are very few Great Emperors but many True Lords. Even among the Twelve Saints of Yuxu under Yuqing, only the Great True Lord Tianpeng was able to become an emperor. This shows that although it is because they are disciples of the Three Purities, they are directly aiming for the great celestial immortals with supreme foundation, and they will not even look at ordinary Great Emperors or Saints, it is also clear how difficult it is to break through to this level.
After the Water Deity was killed, a new Water Deity was selected.
Now, the new Lord of Water is going to suppress Mars with enough confidence.
Except for the Fire Star, the other four Stars directly formed a formation to suppress it!
Taiyin Yuanjun looked up at the sky where the four stars stood side by side, but his mind was not there. Instead, he was on the fight between the Great Emperor Gou Chen and the Goddess Hou Tu. Or rather, the same was true for the entire Dou Department and even the heavenly realm. After all, compared with the severity of the fight between the two Yuzhi and the possible consequences that might follow, even if Huoyao was a riot, he was only at the level of a Star Lord.
What a huge difference!
There is almost no comparison.
Fire is blazing.
It is Mars, but if it only stirs up chaos, it is nothing more than a disaster star.
Like the previous Huo Yao, he will be killed by the North Pole Exorcist Institute to eliminate the disaster.
But at this moment, Fire Star had its own sense of grandeur and brightness, as blazing as a flame. The Four Stars came here, deployed their formations, and suppressed it by force. Because Fire Star had problems too many times, the Fighting Department had already prepared special measures against Fire Star based on its characteristics.
The power of Fire Star was suppressed by the four stars as the core, the other hundreds of immortal officers as nodes, and the heavenly soldiers and generals' net formation. The blazing fire was forcibly restrained and slowly suppressed inwards. The new generation of Water Star and Water Virtue Star Lord looked around and said to Taibai Yumiao Yuan Lord next to him with a smile:
"Although Huo Yao is fierce, it is too fiery and violent after all, and has no way of restraining itself."
"It is only in the middle among the Five Luminaries."
"At this moment, there is no control from the Lord of Stars. It is acting entirely on instinct. Facing the formation we created specifically to deal with Huo Yao, it is naturally helpless and can only sit and wait for death."
Taibai Yumiao Yuanjun said: "The fire star is violent and violent, and its power is overbearing."
"Fellow Daoist, don't be too confident."
Water Star Lord laughed and said, "It's not that I underestimate him. After all, his star foundation is similar to ours. We all have our own star lords, as well as the support of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, and the magic weapon of the sky net and earth net. If the three are combined into one, we can't suppress this Fire Star, unless the foundation of this Fire Star is better than that of [Yao]."
Taibai Yumiaoyuanjun did not answer.
He just looked at the Huoyao Palace which was surrounded by a web of traps.
The blazing fire was no longer the inky black color it had been before, but now it had a hint of light.
Burning, reflected in the eyes.
Little Pengcao held the jade seal and looked at the young Taoist who was asking gently. The latter had a calm look, as usual. Little Pengcao's palm curled up subconsciously, but seemed to hold the seal more tightly. Her palm clearly felt the touch of the seal, and she stammered, "Wuhuo, what are you saying?"
The young Taoist's eyes were peaceful:
"Emperor."
"The one whose virtue resembles heaven and earth is an emperor, and the one whose conduct is radiant is an emperor."
"Do you want to be the emperor?"
Little Pengcao was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "Wuhuo wants me to become the emperor?"
Qi Wuhuo looked at her, this girl who was always too sensible, and did not add his own thoughts. He said calmly: "I don't have this idea. Everything depends on you. I was originally in danger, but now, my personal danger has been resolved. As for the other matter, no matter who the Demon King is, as long as he is there, it's fine."
"So you don't have to consider my thoughts."
Little Pengcao calmed down, her eyes widened, and she said:
"If I choose this, will you be by my side, Wuhuo?"
The young Taoist shook his head and said, "No."
"If I don't choose, will you stay by my side?"
The young Taoist looked at her and said, "Neither will I."
So Xiao Pengcao felt at a loss. Qi Wuhuo reached out and touched Xiao Pengcao's hair, saying: "I will come to see you, but I will not be by your side forever. If you do not choose to become the emperor, I will take you away from here. Don't worry, I can find a safe place for you, and there will be a very gentle elder to take care of you."
"Sure, she might try to flick your forehead, but she will care about you and protect you."
"And I will visit you from time to time. You can live your own life, free and easy. When you are free, you can listen to the wind and watch the rain. There are wild animals and flowers in the mountains. If you think the mountains are too quiet, you can go to the towns and see how people live and see the world."
"And if you choose the emperor."
"Then, there are countless great demons and demon saints around who will want to control you. They won't kill you, but they will definitely desire the power you represent now and hope that you can be used by them."
"I will help you strive for a period of slow time, during which you can practice on your own and gain strength... Huang Yao will also protect you, and slowly, you may be able to gain your own foundation and power, until you finally grow into a true emperor."
"This journey is not so leisurely. You will experience a lot of pain, a lot of suffering, and loneliness."
"Strength requires practice and acquisition by oneself."
“It cannot be given from anywhere else.”
"Those who gain without effort can be given this power, but it will also be taken away naturally. This is the way of the universe."
The girl stared at Qi Wuhuo with wide eyes, as if there were two destinies and futures. This kind of change, she didn't want to make a choice for anyone, but it made her feel uneasy. She subconsciously clenched her fingers, still with a desire to stay with the person she cherished, and even with a mentality of pleasing others that she herself had not noticed, she said:
"Then I choose to leave. I don't want to be the emperor..."
"In this case, Wuhuo, you can come and see me, and Huangyao doesn't have to work so hard..."
"I……"
The young Taoist said, "Okay."
I immediately decided what to do next.
If you need to take Xiao Pengcao away under the current situation, you will inevitably encounter layers of resistance.
Whether it was Emperor Jiang or the other saints, they would stop him. They needed a mascot-like emperor like Xiao Pengcao, which was difficult. The green-shirted spirit leaning against the door with his hands folded on his chest couldn't help but whistled, his eyes bright, and he smiled and said, "Not bad, Master."
"After attending the meeting alone, he stirred up the situation and deposed the Demon King."
“You are now going to be under the noses of all the spirits and armies and the five great saints.”
"Directly 'kidnap' the future Lord of All Spirits, the Emperor of All Spirits?"
"You are truly a madman as bold and reckless as our Lord Fuxi, who is so earth-shattering!"
The young Taoist stood up, took Xiao Pengcao's hand, led her forward, and thanked her sincerely:
"Huang Yao, thank you very much for this period of time..."
Huang Yao hummed and said, "Where are you taking her?"
The young Taoist said, "Go to the human world, to a remote place in Zhongzhou. There is a mountain there."
“Take her to see the Queen Mother Hou Tu. The Queen Mother Hou Tu will treat her as her own daughter, just like the three Yuan Juns. She will raise and teach her. No living creature in the world can hurt her.” However, when he mentioned this, the young Taoist suddenly understood why the disciples of the Three Pure Ones were so strict.
The Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods are all respected gods.
But whether it is the previous generation of Beidi’s sons taught by Beidi himself, or the three great Yuanjuns around Hou Tu Huang Di Niangniang.
They are all at the level of True Lord.
And the most outstanding disciple of Sanqing.
They are all the most rebellious among his disciples, and their personalities are least compatible with those of their master.
三清四御尊神的教导，也只能够引导着走向真君，亦或者说，寻常的大帝；若是欲证大品，唯独自己去走那一条道路，而能够走出来的，皆寥寥无几。
如此追随着尊神，说是最好的道路。
但是于修行之上，似非上乘。
可至少，可得生活无忧。
嗯，方寸山的山神府邸里面可以给小蓬草另外开辟一个小院子的，小鹿灵和药灵都会喜欢她，或者说，万物万类，很少有哪一脉会讨厌小蓬草这样的娲皇血脉的。
齐无惑拉着小蓬草往外面慢慢走去，小小少女感受到来自于那道人手掌上的温暖力量，宽大的道袍垂落下来，带着风和阳光的味道，前面的门外便是天下广阔，齐无惑已经迈了出去，但是旋即却感觉到了一股微弱的拉扯力量。
少年道人微怔，下意识回头，看到了小蓬草站在里面，拉着他的手。
另一只手，却也握住了印玺。
小蓬草抬起头，咬了下嘴唇，小心翼翼地道：“我，我真的可以自己选择吗？”
“你真的不会生气吗？”
“不会像是那些‘虽然说是让我选择，但是我选择了却又会因为我没有顺着他们的意思所以很生气要打我’的人吗？无惑……”
“我，我可以自己选？”
短短几句话，就已经透露出小蓬草这样娲皇的后裔是怎么样活过来的，血脉没有给她之前的生命带来荣光，只是带来了各种痛苦，少年道人微微俯身，视线和少女平齐，鬓角的黑发垂落在少女面前，温和道：
“你当然可以，你不是任何人的附庸，也不是你血脉的附庸。”
青年器灵的眸子微微睁开，嘴角温和的笑意稍微收敛了，看着那少年道人的背影。
齐无惑道：“你只是你就可以了。”
他微笑道：“现在，告诉我，你的选择吧。”
“嗯，就当做是我自己的计策，却将你卷入了这旋涡的补偿。”
小蓬草深深吸了口气，轻声快速道：“我不想要再依靠其他人活着。”
“嗯？”
少女瞪大眼睛，这个自年幼被抛弃，而被被人或者当做奴仆买去培养，或者因为被觊觎血脉而流浪的少女，因为第一次的展现自己的心中所想而身躯微微颤栗着：“我想要，哪怕现在我还做不到，但是，我想要只是我自己，不要是依附着别人的傀儡和附庸。”
“我希望哪怕我做我自己，不要做出那种讨好其他人的表情，无惑你也不会讨厌我。”
“我希望有一天哪怕我不是娲皇的血脉，荒爻姐姐也会喜欢我。”
“我希望，我希望……”
小蓬草的眼睛里面似乎有些泪的痕迹，握紧了手里的印玺，握住了这力量，道：
“我希望，成为皇！”
“不是娲皇的影子！不是她的影子……”
似乎是这样的激**反而是催动了心神，少女的眸子又泛起淡淡的金色，眼角蔓延出了金红色的眼影，双腿隐隐化作了苍色蛇尾，是和娲皇绝对不同的意志和性格，器灵沉默许久，叹息道：“这真的是……”
“让人惊叹。”
“性格不一样，但是怎么说呢……这样的倔强又和吾主的妹妹有七分类似。”
少年道人伸出手给那少女擦过眼泪，道：“嗯，但是不要背弃你的血脉。”
“接受它，然后成为你自己。”
“至少，我不是因为你的血脉而保护你的，不是吗？”
小蓬草瞪大眼睛，而后看着那道袍少年起身，他给少女擦干了泪痕，站起来，纯白的道袍落下，手中的拂尘搭着，木簪黑发，沐浴在温暖晨曦之下，而后温和微笑道：“那么，你的愿望，贫道知道了。”
“我会帮助你。”
“成为皇。”
天穹之上，水德星君才笑着转身，背后的炽烈之火，忽而暴起，猛烈的朝着外面逸散，斗部之中，再度传来了愤怒的咆哮，某位从某只老黄牛那里得到了妖族俚语的神将狂奔而入：“我艹！！”
“太阴元君！元君！”
“四曜镇不住火曜了！！！”
太阴元君提起兵刃，旋即想了想，又取了东华留下的印玺。
已是七曜合力，镇压一名火曜！
而少年道人则带着小蓬草回转，荒爻看着双目泛红还没有散开的小姑娘，叹了口气，道：“所以，齐真人要做什么，你知道的，这里是很危险的地方。”少年道人道：“是，但是未必没有转机，请给我一处静室。”
荒爻看着他，许久后颔首，伸出手揉了揉小蓬草的头发，道：“可。”
“我也不会离开你的，小家伙。”
小蓬草怀抱着印玺。
静室之中，少年道人背对着小蓬草，本来没有什么根基的后者，因为荒爻的诸多灵物，早已经理顺了根基，小蓬草似乎猜测到了什么，道：“无惑你要传授我功法吗？”
“不，不会……”
齐无惑看着小蓬草。
娲皇的血脉。
太一的认可。
以及，强烈的自我，绝不会走入娲皇之道的自我意识。
他不能够用自己的道去约束眼前的少女，他这个时候忽而有一种如老师太上般的感觉，他觉得眼前少女能走得很远，但是却正因如此，不能够过多干涉，不能把自己的东西传授给她，少年道人道：“取出太一印吧。”
小蓬草取出来这印玺，疑惑不已。
齐无惑仍旧能够感觉得到这印玺对自己的强烈排斥，少年道人手腕一动，纣绝阴天袍化作了一道墨色锦缎，抬手将这墨色锦缎系在自己的额头，遮掩住了眼睛，而后袖袍一扫，正坐于此，以纣绝阴天宫隔绝神识，平添三分清雅，嗓音温和道：
“小蓬草，你去看这太一印。”
“而后，将太一印之中浮现出的神韵传递给我。”
小蓬草点头答应，手掌拉着少年道人的手，将神韵传递。
少年道人轻声道：
“我会将我师兄创造的一门法门，略作修改，令其不只适合人族，而是万灵。”
“一之道，不可能无法容纳万灵。”
“其名气，其为运。”
而在这个时候，天穹斗部，太阴元君之力，亦或者说是斗部除去火曜之外的七曜合力，竟然没有办法在不波及尘世的情况下，压制住那火曜的暴动，太阴元君抬眸，欲要动用其余手段直接一口气压制住火曜。
否则如此七星流转，几如仪轨。
是为七星连珠。
如此仪轨，若是火曜破劫，则会直接完成仪轨，或许会跃升。
哪怕是只有万一之可能，也不能让这样一颗经常暴动的祸星如此。
就在这个时候，天穹之上，四颗隐藏的星辰忽而亮起，大炽烈。
为东华一战之中被斩去星君的四隐曜！
此刻不知为何，这四颗凶悍星辰，竟然主动爆发力量，竟然主动压制火曜！
仿佛遇到了仇敌似的！
神首罗睺星、神尾计都星、天一紫炁星和太一月孛星，四隐曜忽而冲入，直接打乱了太阴元君的打算，当她稳定下来局势的时候，局面早已经变得更为可怖和恢弘！
太白森然，木曜生机，水曜幽深，土曜恢弘。
太阳，太阴并行于天阙。
二曜光天，五星正位。
太极发宣于七政，鸿图布列于元皇。
日月经纶，调水木金而敦土。
阴阳妙用，运东西南北而镇中央。
火曜，在中，举火革天下！
十一曜联手！
压制住了火曜，亦或者说，抵达了平衡。
风起云涌，似有天地变色。
而器灵看着天穹，见鬼了似的盯着那静室，沉默，然后朝着后面谨慎的后退了几步。
自语道：“随方设教，【历劫】度人。”
“为【皇】者师，【帝】者师，【王】者师，【假名易号】。”
“好一个，太上衣钵亲传……”
“不得其法。”
“而尽得其道！”
他缓缓抬起头，看到天穹之上，一颗星辰大亮，而后其余星辰也同样亮起，哪怕是器灵跟着伏羲见过了许多的东西，此刻却都忍不住赞叹惊叹：
“十一曜……”
“九星连珠，已是极致，再加大日太阴。”
“十一星连珠，真是……”
“千古未曾听闻，和吾主一样，喜欢给天庭搞点大的东西啊。”
北极紫微宫之中。
北帝微微抬眸——
十一曜被火曜连携，又被超过预料的四隐曜一冲，爆发出各自的底蕴。
几如仪轨。
而勾陈后土之争，似乎因为某件事情的发生，提前结束了本该漫长的胶着。
开始转变。
