Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Now that the Eastern King has perished, the remaining people in the Celestial Court need to be dealt with.

However, Di Jun knew very well that the vast majority of people in the Heavenly Court did not genuinely want to be enemies with the demon race, but were forced to do so under the threat of the Investiture of the Gods by the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

But he couldn't just let go of those who had come with the Celestial Court to fight the demon race.

Moreover, after this great battle between demons and immortals, the number of casualties on the demon side was also considerable, and they needed some fresh blood to replenish their ranks.

That's why Di Jun announced to the remaining people in the Celestial Court that they would be spared as long as they were willing to join the demon race.

Of course, if anyone is stubborn enough to refuse to join the demon race, then I'm sorry, Di Jun will have no choice but to send them to their deaths!

"The Demon Emperor is truly benevolent and righteous!"

"I am willing to surrender, I am willing to join the demon race!"

As soon as Di Jun uttered those words, the vast majority of people in the Celestial Court chose to join the Demon Race.

In fact, they were originally worried that the demon race might try to wipe them out.

Fortunately, Di Jun did not do that.

Although if these people join the demon race, they will inevitably be listed on the Investiture of the Gods and targeted by Yuanshi Tianzun and the Heavenly Dao.

But that's still better than being killed by the demon race right away, isn't it?

"With the addition of these people, we can more or less make up for the losses our demon race suffered this time."

Seeing that many people from the Celestial Court had chosen to join the Demon Clan, Di Jun nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother, although we won this time, Yuanshi Taiqing and the others will definitely find other ways to deal with us!"

"What should we do then?"

In Taiyi's eyes, defeating Dongwanggong was not something particularly noteworthy.

But when he thought about the various difficulties the demon race would face in the future, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"From the moment I chose to abolish the good and evil corpses within my body with the help of fellow Daoists Taichu, I was already destined to stand on the opposite side of the Heavenly Dao."

"Now, either our demon race will be destroyed under the schemes of Heaven, or we will be able to truly attain the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal, especially you, who can prove the Dao through force. Only then will you have some qualifications to contend with Yuanshi Taiqing and the like."

Di Jun also spoke with a solemn expression.

Even though the demon race now has three Primordial Chaos-level formations, which can temporarily allow him and Taiyi to unleash power comparable to a Heavenly Saint.

But an array is ultimately just an array; it cannot compare to a true sage of the Heavenly Dao.

"But it's not an easy thing for us to attain the Primordial Chaos."

"Because of this great battle between demons and immortals, I simply didn't have time to comprehend and master the new laws of the Great Dao."

"Currently, the number of Great Dao Laws I control is still only two thousand five hundred and eighty-six."

"I want to integrate the three thousand Great Dao Laws to prove myself as a Primordial Golden Immortal, but I still need several hundred Yuanhui!"

Taiyi let out a deep sigh, and at the same time, he felt increasingly angry at Dongwanggong, Yuanshi, and Taiqing, who had instigated this war between demons and immortals.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun's expression became even more solemn.

He had just begun to rebuild his inherited Dao before this great battle between demons and immortals began.

If he wants to attain the Primordial Dao, he must either merge with the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws like Taiyi, and then prove the Dao through force.

Alternatively, one can inherit the Great Dao through their own efforts and follow the path of proving the Dao through the laws.

Or they could follow the path of a saintly human being.

It goes without saying that proving the Dao through force is a different story; even Taiyi needed hundreds of eons to do so. If Dijun started from scratch, it would only be slower.

While it is relatively easier to prove one's path by following the laws of one's own inherited Great Dao, it is still not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Becoming a saint of humanity is no easy feat either!
“Brother, the biggest obstacle to your becoming a saint of humanity is the human race, which has awakened the will of humanity.”

"Why don't I go and wipe out the human race, and make the demon race the sole protagonist of this world!"

"With this fortune, you may indeed be able to become a saint of humanity, or even a representative of humanity, in a short period of time, thus gaining the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Taiyi was well aware of Dijun's thoughts and immediately offered his advice, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

In fact, as early as when Nuwa successfully created humans, Taiyi already had the idea of ​​destroying the human race.

He was only persuaded to stop by Di Jun.

Now, the demon race is facing considerable threats. His brothers are taking the conventional path to enlightenment, which makes it difficult for them to possess the power to truly protect themselves and the demon race in a short period of time. That's why Taiyi brought up the old matter again.

"inappropriate!--"

"Humanity was ultimately created by the goddess Nuwa. We promised her that we would not attack humanity unless it truly posed a threat to us."

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Taichu also has plans among the human race. If we rashly attack the human race, we may easily anger him."

"Moreover, I now possess a portion of the human destiny. If I were to directly annihilate the human race that has awakened the will of humanity, I might also face the backlash of the human destiny!"

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, a hint of excitement flashed in Dijun's eyes, but he ultimately shook his head.

The demon race already faces many threats, and they cannot afford to offend Nuwa and Taichu any further.

Especially Tai Chu, whose strength has long surpassed that of Tai Qing, the Heavenly Dao Saint!
"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do?"

"By the way, Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, founded the Jie Sect. Why don't we form an alliance with him?"

Taiyi paced back and forth restlessly, and finally thought of Tongtian's Jie Sect, and a new hope appeared in his eyes.

"The Tongtian Jie Sect?"

"He advocated education for all, and even those who were listed on the Investiture of the Gods were willing to be recruited into his sect."

"The Primordial Sage even directly announced that all disciples of the Jie Sect would be added to the Investiture of the Gods."

"The Jie Sect is naturally an ally of ours."

Di Jun nodded, indicating that he greatly approved of Taiyi's idea.

"However, Fellow Daoist Tongtian has also not attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Even if we form an alliance with the Jie Sect, it probably won't significantly improve the situation of our demon race."

"Perhaps we need to make a trip to Tianyuan Mountain and ask Fellow Daoist Taichu if he has any good ideas?"

Soon, Di Jun shook his head again and put forward a new idea.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu has a far-reaching vision, and has grown from humble beginnings to a point where even the Heavenly Dao finds it difficult to contend with."

"He previously suggested improving the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen' and converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy. Then, with his and Qing Lian's help, you were able to sever your cultivation of 'Severing the Three Corpses'."

"We demons are natural allies with him!"

"Perhaps he really does have a way to help us!"

Taiyi's eyes gleamed, clearly showing his great trust in Taichu.

Therefore, Di Jun and Tai Yi reached a consensus.

They planned to wait until they had completely cleaned up the mess left by the war between demons and immortals before going together to Tianyuan Mountain to seek the help of Taichu!
…………

Kunlun, Taiqing Palace. "The Beginning!—"

At this moment, Taiqing stood in the sky above Taiqing Palace, gazing in the direction of Tianyuan Mountain, his face slightly gloomy.

In fact, after his palm strike from afar was broken by Di Jun Taiyi using the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation," he was preparing to personally descend upon the Demon Court to further test the difference between the so-called Primordial Chaos-level formation and the Heavenly Dao Saint.

However, just as he was about to take action, a terrifying gaze came from afar.

There was a warning in that gaze.

It was as if the owner of the gaze would descend with the force of thunder if Taiqing dared to step into the arena!
Clearly, the owner of that gaze was Tai Chu!

"You don't want the demon race to be destroyed, thus losing a natural ally?"

"Or do you want the demon race, which has already begun to follow the path of human destiny, to restrict the human way that is in the hands of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Or perhaps you have other plans regarding the demon race?"

While speculating about Tai Chu's various thoughts, Tai Qing gradually returned to Tai Qing Palace.

For him, even if he couldn't directly confront the demon race this time, it wouldn't matter much.

The second brother, Yuanshi, is about to bring his Chan Sect to the right track. When that time comes, and he takes advantage of the momentum of the Great Calamity, they don't believe they can't deal with the mere demon race.

Once the demon race is dealt with, it will be Tai Chu and the others' turn!

the other side!
After preventing Taiqing from directly confronting the demon race, Taichu did not stay at Tianyuan Mountain, but instead went to the Underworld with Tianyan and Qinglian!
"Greetings to Fellow Daoist Taichu, and Fellow Daoist Tianyan!"

"Greetings, Aunt Qinglian!"

Upon sensing the arrival of the three from the Primordial Beginning, Styx immediately bowed to them.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Styx!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Styx!"

In the beginning, the heavens simultaneously returned the salute to the River Styx.

"Ok!"

"Styx, is that the Asura race you intend to create?"

Qinglian nodded proudly and aloofly to Minghe in response, then looked behind him.

Standing there were 1,500 incredibly ugly male beings and 1,500 incredibly beautiful female beings.

“That’s right, Aunt, they are the Asura race that I created using remnant souls and other materials from the Sea of ​​Blood!”

Styx nodded, his gaze towards the three thousand beings softening.

In a way, these three thousand newborn Asuras can also be considered his children!
"Why is there such a big difference in appearance between male and female Asuras?" Tianyan looked between the ugly male Asuras and the incomparably beautiful female Asuras and asked Styx with some doubt.

"To be honest, I don't really know why this is happening," Styx replied with a hint of helplessness.

All three thousand Asuras were his children, and if possible, he would not deliberately make them appear very different because of their gender.

No matter what Styx does, the Asuras he creates are always like this!
"In the six realms of reincarnation, although the Asura realm is one of the three good realms, it is clearly inferior to the realm of gods and the human realm."

"The Asura race, which corresponds to the Asura path, naturally has certain flaws."

Tai Chu, combining his understanding of the six realms of reincarnation from past and present lives, put forward his own conjecture.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Styx nodded gently.

He had similar speculations before, but now, with the concept of the beginning, he was even more certain of it.

This made him feel even more helpless.

"Whether it's beauty or ugliness, it's all just external."

"As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. As long as the Asura people are wholeheartedly good and contribute to the primordial world, even male Asuras will gradually show corresponding changes in their appearance."

At this moment, Qinglian shook her head and spoke with arrogance and aloofness.

"Auntie is right!"

Upon hearing this, Styx nodded, and his mood did indeed improve considerably.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Taichu, Fellow Daoist Tianyan, and Aunt Qinglian!" At this moment, the stunningly beautiful and extraordinary Houtu Niangniang slowly approached and bowed to Taichu and the others.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hou Tu!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hou Tu!"

"Houtu, it's been a long time!"

Tai Chu, Tian Yan, and Qing Lian all responded one by one.

"Greetings, Empress Houtu!"

The Styx River also respectfully bowed to Houtu.

"Ok!"

"Styx, is this the Asura race you created?"

Houtu first nodded in response to the Styx River, then looked at the Asura clan behind her.

She also noticed the huge differences in appearance within this race.

However, she didn't seem to care much about it.

"Yes, all I need to do next is to proclaim the Heavenly Dao, and I will gain a great deal of merit. Combined with the Primordial Purple Qi of the Earth Dao bestowed by the Goddess Houtu, I will have the opportunity to become an Earth Dao Saint!"

Styx responded quickly, his eyes revealing strong anticipation and excitement.

From the time he was born until now, countless years have passed, and he finally has the opportunity to become a sage!

Although the Earthly Dao is still relatively late in existence and not yet as advanced as the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao Saint he is about to achieve may be slightly inferior to the Heavenly Dao Saint under the same conditions.

But he was a saint!
Moreover, once the Earthly Dao has matured, Styx believes that his Earthly Dao Saint will be no less powerful than the Heavenly Dao!

"So good!"

Upon hearing Styx's words, Houtu nodded in satisfaction, her beautiful eyes also revealing anticipation.

Because once the Asura race of the Styx gains the approval of Heaven and Earth, the rules of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will be partially completed.
When the feedback comes in, both the tunnel itself and Houtu, as the lord of the tunnel, will receive a significant boost!
She would then have a greater chance of defying both the forces of Heaven and Man!
"The birth of Asura may attract the attention of Hongjun."

"But now that we are here, we can ensure your safety and that of the Asura clan."

"There's no time to lose, begin your proclamation to heaven and earth now!"

Taichu also spoke to the Styx River with anticipation and confidence.

The underground passage was also his main reliance in resisting the forces of Heaven and Man.

The stronger the tunnel, the happier he was.

Moreover, the relationship between Styx and the Primordial Beginning was also quite good.

The reason Qinglian appeared here at the Primordial Assembly and Tianyan was both to witness the true birth of Asura and to prevent Hongjun from resorting to desperate measures!
"Alright, then we'll rely on the help of fellow Daoists Taichu and Tianyan, as well as Aunt Qinglian and Goddess Houtu!"

The Styx River nodded emphatically, preparing to announce this to the world. (End of Chapter)
