Chapter 524: Chapter 509: Human Dao Turning Point, Nation-Overturning Beauty

Alas, heaven does not always comply with man’s desires.

The two continuously witnessed one gruesome murder scene after another from ancient times.

They also rescued quite a few mortals who, like the ones trapped in the "Crab Slave"-infested Shazhou City, served as reserve food in the Strange Immortal’s "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth".

But even Huang Wu, the Green Seal Sage who practiced the Way of Dream Realms, combined with Calamity Butterfly, whose abilities greatly increased after devouring the Golden Cicada God, were unable to find any useful clues. Even searching specifically for "West King Holy Mother" and "Hundred-Eyed Spirit Official" proved futile.

Moreover,

they always stayed in the safest shallow layers of the dream realm, witnessing only the surface appearance, which was even processed and represented symbolic items of unclear significance.

Even relying on Star Lord Taibai’s "Ziwei Dipper" and "Dream Divination" wasn’t able to unravel those seemingly meaningful yet ambiguous signs.

After spending several days completing a full circle, they had to return to the starting point—in front of two snake-bodied creatures with human faces, Yayu’s Corpse, and Erfu’s Corpse.

Wang Yuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and make up his mind:

"Sister, this time let’s go directly to the ’Lost Layer’ that connects all twelve corpses!"

Whether it’s the dream realm of ancient corpses or the collective dream realm of ordinary mortals,

under normal circumstances, they’re mainly divided into three levels: shallow, deep, and lost.

In the shallow layer, people still possess a certain level of consciousness, and even many ordinary people are aware they’re dreaming, managing to bring back some vague memories to the real world after waking up.

But the deeper one enters into the dream realm, the more they will touch upon deeper, more fundamental memories and knowledge, even the legacy left in the descendants’ bloodline by ancient ancestors.

It is naturally filled with all sorts of dangers.

The "Public Dream" of Dengzhou Prefecture was under the influence of Yellow Seal’s "Dream Moth", transformed into an extremely dangerous monster’s nest by Calamity Butterfly.

Now lying here are twelve ancient corpses, each with at least the level of an "Inner Scene".

In the depths of their collective dream, things are constantly twisting towards directions of horror, gloominess, bizarre, and extreme danger.

A "Daoism Transformation Disaster" with an unknown nature is also brewing.

For Wang Yuan and the others to enter the lost layer at this moment is akin to defusing a bomb from the inside; a little carelessness may cause them to be blown to bits.

Hearing this, Huang Wu did not hesitate at all but immediately leaned over to hug Wang Yuan’s neck and, in coordination with Calamity Butterfly, activated "Moon in the Water and Flower in the Mirror".

"Xiao Yuan, accelerate, jump!"

There was no need to scurry around headlessly like the last time when entering the public dream of Dengzhou.

A vast fissure abruptly cracked open in the ground before them, and as "White Tiger Gap" landed, they had already smoothly jumped into the lost layer closer to the true essence of the twelve corpses.

Rolling, rumbling...

In a towering forest reaching into the clouds, large trees that took dozens of people to encircle snapped and fell like straw, and the ground was plowed into profound ravines...

Great rivers ceased to flow, and even the distant mountains continued to collapse one after the other.

It was clearly the aftermath of a colossal battle.

In the center of the battlefield, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu also saw two silhouettes, stripped of all abnormalities, reappear before their eyes, both widening their eyes simultaneously.

One figure, with bone-like armor shattered and falling apart, lay on the ground spitting blood continuously; it was the still-living "Yayu".

The other figure, "Erfu", was in much better condition, holding a bronze spear, pointed directly at Yayu’s chest, a face filled with the smugness of the victor.

In the dream realm, distance holds no meaning.

Under chaotic rules, even memories and knowledge that completely don’t belong to oneself might be obtained despite being separated by thousands of miles.

Even without speaking, the memories belonging to different individuals can collide, communicate, and integrate on their own, revealing secrets akin to those of a seer.

And the first piece of information that Wang Yuan and his companion received in their ears made both their bodies jolt.

"Xiahou Clan, snake-bodied with human faces!"

Unable to help but exchange glances, they saw shock in each other’s eyes.

Yayu and Erfu, with the external image of corpses with snake bodies and human faces, show that both individuals belong to the Xiahou Clan.

The so-called "Xiahou" is actually the "Xia King"!

"Could the true identities of these two ancient corpses all be monarchs of the Xia Dynasty?

But when has there ever been a rule of two kings?"

After suppressing their doubts, they realized that, aside from these two still-living ancient corpses, there was a woman in this murderous scene.

A woman of such stunning beauty that any language used to describe her would seem pale and powerless.

Dressed in a simple white robe, her long hair tied with a satin ribbon, barefoot atop tall wooden clogs, her face was covered by a fox mask crafted of bronze.

Yet one could still discern her skin shining like snow, her form graceful and alluring, dazzling as the splendor of spring.

Behind her, nine immaculate white fox tails swayed gently, exuding a seductive charm.

A faint fragrance lingered at the nostrils, seemingly drawing one’s soul into a picturesque pink dream realm.

Although Huang Wu was a woman, and the avatar of Taibai appeared as a "female body," at the first glimpse of this woman, they could not help but feel an overwhelming desire to possess her.

What is meant by a beauty that could overthrow states and cities?

One look could captivate a city, another could captivate a nation; any man would not hesitate to wage wars and annihilate cities and countries for such a woman.

"Tushan Nvjiao! And you, traitor!

These lands bestowed by Yu King were meant to be public, not personal; your attempt to turn Red County Shenzhou from a ’public world’ into a ’family world’ is doomed to fail.

Even if you kill me, you will certainly not win the hearts of the people."

Even "Yayu," who was near death, did not dare look directly at this mesmerizing beauty; after issuing a cry as sorrowful as a cuckoo shedding blood, his consciousness began to blur.

Wang Yuan and Huang Wu struggled to rein in the instinctive admiration for the fox-tailed beauty, shifting their gaze away bit by bit, and then once more, their ears picked up a message from the Lost Layer.

The song of the Tushan Clan goes: "Delicate white fox, with nine tails raised high. Our honored is Jiayi, our esteemed guest becomes king. Establishing home and hearth, we create prosperity. Between heaven and humans, we take this path."

"Dayu took Nvjiao as his wife, following her dwelling."

The "guest" meant son-in-law, indicating the Tushan Clan’s daughter Nvjiao was a Nine-Tailed Fox, who married Yu King.

But the Tushan Clan remained a matriarchal clan; in the end, Yu King became the son-in-law of the Tushan Clan.

Thus,

The stunning beauty who suddenly intruded onto the battlefield was none other than Yu King’s wife, the mother of Xiahou Qi, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty—the Nine-Tailed Fox, Tushan Nvjiao!

The Nine-Tailed Fox spoke softly, her voice melodious and intoxicating:

"Qi, act now. Once you kill Boyi, you will be the only Xiahou, the Human Emperor!

Only by becoming the Human Emperor can you exercise ultimate authority, changing the entire course of the Human Dao."

"Mother, I understand!"

"Erfu," no, it was Xia Qi who excitedly affirmed this, thrusting his spear and dealing Boyi a fatal blow.

The whole of heaven and earth seemed to tremble ever so slightly.

The sky darkened, the wind wailed, and a rain of blood began to fall ’pitter-patter.’

At this moment, the third piece of information also arrived.

"Yu pacified the land, two dragons descended upon him; Yu commanded the dragons beyond the realm, circled around and returned."

"Xiahou Qi danced for nine generations here, riding two dragons."

The so-called "Erfu" was Xia Qi being supported by "two dragons," and he was the true founder of the Xia Dynasty—the inception of all dynasties in Red County Shenzhou!

After understanding the true identities of these three, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu pieced together a case that had been submerged in history.

It is well-known that in Yu King’s era, the tradition of holding the world in common and the system of abdication still prevailed.

The imperial throne was seen as the shared ruler of numerous clans, not the private property of a single family or surname.

This world belonged to all its peoples, passing to the wise rather than to the heirs.

After him, both Xia Qi and Boyi were the most outstanding talents within the Xia Tribe.

However, to preserve the public nature of the world, Dayu ultimately passed the throne to Boyi, leading to dissatisfaction from Xia Qi and his mother Nvjiao.

Therefore, leading their supporters in rebellion, they forcefully seized the throne, not only killing Boyi but also creating one of the most significant changes in the course of Human Dao —

— turning a public world into a family world!

Witnessing such profound secrets of Human Dao firsthand, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu were filled with indescribable shock.

"The ’Corpse of Yayu’ and ’Corpse of Erfu,’ these two Ancient Corpses, represent the idea of a public world seen in Boyi and a family world seen in Xia Qi.

This duel between two kings was not only about the life and death of the two ’Green Seal Strange Immortals,’ but also about a profound change in the entire course of Human Dao!

Most importantly, at this point, the Human Dao had become almost synonymous with the indigenous Heavenly Dao after the invasion by the Killing Tree."

The Dream Realm, the very first two kings of all human dynasties, a public world, a family world, the Human Emperor, the rolling torrent of Human Dao...

Wang Yuan’s expression kept changing.

"I think I’ve figured out what those ’Heavenly Officials’ did back then, quick, sister, let’s go check... the Corpse of Wang Hai! The Corpse of Xia Geng!"
