Chapter 101: [Wuzhiqi] VS [Demon Pill Nezha] (Second Update 3k)

The familiar system notification sounded right after Changyou's voice.

"[MOD [Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi] loaded successfully! Gained 2,000 system EXP! Current remaining: 5756/10000 points]"

"[Changyou] MOD overwritten! Please inspect!"

Sun Po stared at Demon Pill Nezha in the sky while quickly summoning his system panel:

Category: [deity card/Ancient Deity]

Quality: [Gold 1-Star]

Description:

[Wuzhiqi is the title of the Water God of Huai River from ancient times, a righteous deity of heaven and earth who rules over the Huai River of the Great Wilderness.

The previous generation's Wuzhiqi was a legendary beast born of heaven and earth, possessing boundless divine power.

Although this generation's Wuzhiqi lacks the pure bloodline and struggles to reach that grand power, it still possesses the abilities to hear and discern truth, understanding all things in existence.]

Traits:

[Water God of Huai River]

When Wuzhiqi fights within the domain of the Huai River, all capabilities are comprehensively boosted.

[Ren Water Divine Power]

Before attaining godhood, Wuzhiqi was originally a calamity construct adept at manipulating the qi of floods. Upon condensing the Water God Dao Fruit,

it became capable of leveraging qi into strength, combining flood qi with the power of the Water God to transform into Ren Water Divine Power.

[Listening to Sounds and Examining Principles] (Incomplete)

Even before ascending to godhood, Wuzhiqi had the ability to hear the voice of fate and discern the ultimate principles of all creation.

After becoming a god, its talent for Listening to Sounds and Examining Principles was enhanced even further.

[Understanding All Things] (Incomplete)

Wuzhiqi possesses an innate, powerful sensitivity toward all things, making it easier to gain enlightenment from everything.

[Calamity God of Heaven and Earth]

Wuzhiqi is both a righteous deity and a Calamity God of Heaven and Earth. When facing great disasters, its attributes are comprehensively boosted, with a chance to enter a Natural Disaster Form.

Skills:

[Master of Huai River]: Wuzhiqi can control any unowned rivers, lakes, and seas, incorporating them into the Huai River system and establishing a water palace.

[Sovereign of the Waters]: Wuzhiqi can subdue aquatic creatures as retainers, grant them divinity, and decree them as servant gods.

[Water Enlightening]: Wuzhiqi condenses divine power into water, controlling water currents and temporarily granting them spiritual life.

[Deity Golden Eyes]: Wuzhiqi's golden eyes absolutely dispel illusions and curses below level 4 energy, while weakening illusions and curses of level 4 energy and above.

Sun Po was overcome with inexplicable excitement.

A Gold card!! A true combat-focused Gold card!!

Unlike Tianhe Budu previously empowered by emperor yus ding—though both were Gold cards,

field cards leaned more toward overall support rather than direct combat performance.

But what about [Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi]?

A deity card!! An Ancient Deity!! A Righteous Deity of Heaven and Earth!!

Which of these titles wasn't a direct symbol of sheer battle power?

Although Sun Po didn't yet understand what "Ancient Deity" or "Righteous Deity of Heaven and Earth" signified in a deity card,

his intuition told him Wuzhiqi would be anything but weak.

Especially since this Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi was an ancient power legendary for matching force with Yinglong and Da Yu!!

A famous entity that even gods like Fengbo and Yushi couldn't handle—certainly no nameless river spirit.

Yet Sun Po also caught a few subtle hints from the system description.

He had always assumed Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi referred solely to that giant white ape.

Meaning only that specific white ape was named Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi.

However, through the description, he realized the truth was different.

Phrases like "Wuzhiqi is the title of the Water God of Huai River from ancient times", "the previous generation's Wuzhiqi", and "this generation's Wuzhiqi" clearly indicated:

Wuzhiqi was simply the godly title of the Water God of Huai River in ancient times, and that giant white ape was merely one of the generations of Wuzhiqi.

Judging by the description, that white ape seemed to be an exotic species born of heaven and earth, which explained its boundless divine power.

Meanwhile, the Wuzhiqi formed by Changyou lacked that pristine bloodline, making it less overwhelming than the white ape?

"Lacks the pure bloodline and struggles to reach that grand power, yet still possesses the abilities to hear and discern truth, understanding all things..." Sounds like it might be smarter than that giant white ape? Sun Po pondered rapidly.

At the same time, he noticed that Six-Eared Macaque was finally recognized by the system as an official MOD in the loading list, even if it was incomplete.

All the miscellaneous non-water skills Changyou had learned in the past were also preserved as MODs, fully mastered.

Furthermore, Sun Po discovered that besides exhausting all his remaining divine matter, loading this MOD...

...had also consumed two divine authority charges from emperor yus ding,

He wondered if they were used to complete the divine authority of Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi.

However, Sun Po had no time to ponder further—Demon Pill Nezha in the sky had already been glaring at him for quite some time.

The entity felt quite excited at that moment, having picked up a familiar scent.

"Brat, did you just see the Spirit Pearl?"

Sun Po was stunned. Spirit Pearl? demon pill?

Was this still the Card Maker world?

Sun Po did not answer.

His initial transaction with Li Tiance used this demon pill as payment, but looking at it now,

even if Li Tiance had Li Jing give the demon pill to Sun Po, Sun Po might not have been able to handle it.

The aura of Demon Pill Nezha in the sky was barely weaker than that of the Vile Dragon at its peak.

One had to remember that the Vile Dragon had devoured Cthulhu and possessed the world-breaking power of the Double Pupils,

along with transformation from the Deep One divine realm, rendering its divine power nearly infinite and continuously rising.

In terms of raw stats, the Vile Dragon was top-tier, just lacking intelligence.

Yet this Demon Pill Nezha possessed an aura comparable to the Vile Dragon's peak,

meaning it could basically thrash the Sun Po from before he entered the River of Time.

However, with Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi in hand, Sun Po now had the strength to confront divine monsters head-on.

Sun Po still remembered how, in the parallel timeline, Nezha had shattered his Black Rhino Armor with a single spear strike.

It was hard to say whether this Demon Pill Nezha possessed that same terrifying force.

Sun Po dared not gamble; caution was never excessive when dealing with such a famous deity.

"[Water God of Huai River · Wuzhiqi]!! Manifest!!"

"[Cold Jade Black Ice Shield]!!"

Knowing his limits, Sun Po summoned Changyou,

and immediately put up a shield in full survival mode. But Demon Pill Nezha showed no signs of relenting.

The Wind Fire Wheels beneath Nezha's feet accelerated violently, turning into a crimson streak of fire that charged straight at Sun Po.

Clang!!

A metallic clash echoed, though the moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade in Sun Po's hands had not collided with the fire-pointed spear.

In front of him, a two-meter-tall figure stepped up to block the strike.

A green face and scarlet eyes, golden pupils and snow-white teeth, six ears and white fur, built with a lean, formidable frame.

It still wielded a staff condensed from water, yet it rang with the sound of metal upon impact.

Only this time, the water staff appeared extraordinary, gleaming all over with a cyan divine light.

Sun Po dazed for a moment; seeing this figure brought him back to that night he sold his house.

Yet the aura emanating from Wuzhiqi was infinitely stronger than Changyou back then.

In particular, behind its head hung a ring resembling a merit wheel.

This ring wasn't like an ordinary halo;

it was forged from flowing, cyan-black water.

The shape of the water shifted constantly, with scenes of surging rivers and catastrophic floods flashing across the center of the ring.

Cyan-black water-patterned ribbons fluttered around Wuzhiqi's body,

making it look like an ancient deity stepping straight out of a mural into reality.

Wuzhiqi's appearance was less wild and crude than the giant white ape Sun Po had seen before, carrying more mystery and refinement.

Refined as it was, grappling with staves seemed etched into the very bones of monkeys,

and when these two deities clashed, neither held anything back.

Suddenly, the tip of the fire-pointed spear spurted out a scorching crimson flame,

accompanied by the faint crackling of space burning open.

The fire shot straight at Wuzhiqi's face, but Wuzhiqi was no pushover.

Its water staff burst open violently, and a deluge-like cyan divine light slammed heavily toward Demon Pill Nezha's face.

Demon Pill Nezha apparently hadn't expected Wuzhiqi to pull such a move,

but fortunately, his crimson fire happened to collide directly with the spray of cyan divine light.

Only then did Demon Pill Nezha shift his full attention onto Wuzhiqi.

Failing to land a decisive hit, Wuzhiqi and Demon Pill Nezha both leaped backward,

their fiery golden eyes locking onto each other, both catching a glimpse of wariness in the other's gaze.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the River of Time,

Ranger Xuanyuan, seated on a carriage, held a wine gourd,

drinking leisurely while casually watching a mirror.

Reflected in the mirror was the exact battle between Demon Pill Nezha and Wuzhiqi.

Ranger Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes, passing judgment:

"Tsk tsk tsk. No divine status of the Great Deity of the Tri-Altar Hall of Manifestation, and not a single Gold Brick, Demon-Slaying Sword, or Universe Ring?"

"The Nezha of this line is completely a knockoff version. Though his Samadhi True Fire is cultivated quite decently."

Then he turned his gaze to Wuzhiqi on the other side, slightly surprised:

"The divine title of Wuzhiqi carries quite a backstory. The previous occupant was a Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey,

and this one is a Six-Eared Macaque? Both are top-tier, unique exotic beasts born of heaven and earth? Lucky brat!"

If Sun Po knew someone called him lucky, he would definitely introduce Liu Jianren to him.

Suddenly, the wine gourd in Ranger Xuanyuan's hand was snatched away by a large hand. He turned around to look,

only to find an ordinary-looking middle-aged man wearing an official uniform.

He stood around 170 cm tall, with a simple crew cut.

His face showed few wrinkles, but he had a somewhat dull and wooden expression.

He looked utterly unremarkable, like a middle-aged corporate slave who had just worked overtime at some municipal Card Association and was heading home.

Ranger Xuanyuan smiled and quickly cleared a space on the carriage: "Captain Huo? What brings you out for a stroll?"

The middle-aged man called Captain Huo stepped aside slightly and pointed behind him to a smiling old man dressed in bright yellow dragon robes:

"Just discussing a few matters with Master Li Yuan."

That old man was none other than the head of the Li family from the outer realm secret territory back then—Li Yuan!

Then, Ranger Xuanyuan leaped down from the carriage and shouted:

"Got it, I understand! You two talk, I'll go down to handle some business and introduce a talented fellow to you along the way, Captain."

With that, he flickered and vanished into thin air.

A few seconds later, his voice echoed back:

"Captain! Remember to drive the south-pointing chariot back for me!! Otherwise the old master will skin me alive!!"
