Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 140 Seclusion

Kunpeng never expected that just when the human race was about to be completely wiped out, the biggest accident would still happen at this last moment.

The divine vine was one thing, he could easily deal with it himself, but when faced with a saint, he instantly lost all his courage.

Moreover, at this moment, it wasn't just Zhen Yuanzi who arrived. Suddenly, a vast purple aura appeared, stretching for 30,000 miles in the east, with flowers falling from the sky, golden lotuses blooming from the ground, and rosy clouds swirling around.

One by one, the saints, each with their own entourage, came from all directions. Even Nuwa, the goddess who had been prayed to by the entire human race but had never received a response, and Laozi, the saint of Taiqing, also came.

Seven sages descended upon the ancestral land of humanity.

Such a lineup caused all the powerful figures secretly observing this battle to gasp in surprise.

They all knew that the demon race was about to suffer a great misfortune.

In this situation, Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were still in the Thirty-Three Heavens, had no choice but to rush to the scene.

"Di Jun (Taiyi, Kunpeng) greets all the sages." All three bowed to the sages.

When the human race saw the arrival of the saints, they were overjoyed and paid homage to them.

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at the divine vine, waved his hand, and a beam of profound light entered its body. Instantly, the divine vine flashed and transformed into a black-clad young Taoist, whose face was slightly pale.

He bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty."

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and nodded, saying, "You and I have some kind of destiny. Would you be willing to become my disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Shen Teng paused for a moment, then realized what he meant, but hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, although this disciple is willing, there is only one problem..."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "After this battle, your karma with the human race has been severed, and it's time for you to enjoy peace and quiet."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Vine Daoist was startled and no longer had any doubts. He bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Disciple greets Master."

"it is good."

Zhen Yuanzi was in a great mood after taking on a disciple. He shook the Earth Book and placed it around the ancestral land of the human race. The yellow mist that had trapped countless demons immediately disappeared.

Then Zhen Yuanzi waved his sleeve again, bringing Shen Teng Daoren to his side, and the two rode away on a cloud.

"Gentlemen, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm going back to Longevity Hill now."

The remaining six sages shook their heads slightly. Laozi glanced at the human race, then at Dijun and Taiyi, and said, "I have told you before that the human race should not be destroyed. Now that the human race's calamity has passed, you should return to the Thirty-Three Heavens and await the will of Heaven."

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng were all shaken, knowing that this was the final ultimatum issued by the Sage of Taiqing. Although they were unwilling, they could only nod in agreement.

As a result, the demon army retreated quickly, and Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng also retreated with the army.

Finally, all the saints departed.

Nuwa was the last to leave. Looking at the miserable human race below, she felt a mix of emotions. She sighed, waved her hand, and sprinkled a stream of creative power, which healed all the injured humans.

After doing all this, Nuwa's figure flashed and disappeared.

……

On the Thirty-Three Heavens, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng gathered together, all three with gloomy expressions.

The attempt to exterminate humanity failed.

The thought of the sage's favoritism and protection of the human race chilled the three of them to the bone.

Is it possible that humanity is truly destined to be the future protagonist of the world, and must replace them?

Di Jun's expression grew increasingly ferocious, his fists clenched tightly. But in the end, he slowly relaxed them.

"Ugh."

Di Jun sighed softly. This sigh seemed extremely complex, like a trapped beast that had been driven to the brink of despair, yet which only fueled its ferocity.

Di Jun's gaze regained its sharpness as he looked at Taiyi and Kunpeng and said, "Let's leave the matter of the human race here for now."

"this……"

"Brother."

Kunpeng and Taiyi were both incredulous, never expecting that Dijun would be able to let the matter drop with just a few words.

Di Jun said, "If the human race were to become the protagonist, that would be a matter for the next great calamity. As for now, we are still the protagonists."

"It's a karmic conflict between the demon race and the witch race. They both want to force us into a great war, to make us both severely weakened, and then relinquish our position as the protagonists of this world."

"but……"

Di Jun paused for a moment and said, "How can we let them have their way? As long as we go all out, kill the eleven Ancestral Witches in the final battle, annihilate the Witch Clan, and achieve victory, then everything can change!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi and Kunpeng exchanged bewildered glances.

"Don't you have any confidence at all?" Di Jun frowned, looking at the two of them.

"have."

Taiyi hesitated and said, "But..."

"Just what?"

Di Jun stared directly at Taiyi and said in a deep voice, "Just because the Sage stopped us from exterminating the human race, and because the heavenly secrets show that the human race will be the protagonist in the future, does that mean we should admit defeat?"

"Are we just going to stick our heads out for them to chop off? Giving up our position as the protagonists of this world to those extremely weak humans, who are only fit to be puppets of saints?"

Di Jun sneered repeatedly, saying, "I won't!"

"I must win this final battle! The saints may interfere with our slaughter of humans, but no one can stop us from exterminating the witches."

"The Witch Clan has lost Houtu, their ancestral earth witch, and their strength has been greatly reduced. They can't even set up the Great Formation of the Heavenly Gods and Demons anymore. Meanwhile, our Demon Clan is completely unharmed, and with the Great Formation of the Heavenly Stars, victory is in our hands!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi and Kunpeng's eyes finally brightened.

"Yes, they are just a tiny human race. We are not even afraid of the witch race, so why should we be afraid of them?" Kunpeng laughed.

"That's exactly right."

Seeing that the two had finally cheered up again, Di Jun couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let's just wait for the great battle to begin."

"Taiyi, you can go and survey the starry sky. You can use the Zhou Tian Star Array to refine your Chaos Bell. It's just one step away. If we can completely refine the Chaos Bell, our strength will be even greater."

"Yes, elder brother," Taiyi nodded.

"And the Demon Master, I have already told you the method for forging the Witch-Slaying Sword. Although we did not completely annihilate the human race this time, we have collected a large amount of human blood and souls. You will be in charge of this matter. Extract the future fortune of the human race contained in these human blood and souls and refine it into the Witch-Slaying Sword," Di Jun added.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Kunpeng replied respectfully.

Di Jun concluded, "As for me, I need to go into seclusion again to achieve the Three Corpses Merging with the Dao and attain the Primordial Dao. I'm just one step away from that. Although I'm not very confident, I still need to try my best. If I succeed, our demon race will no longer suffer the humiliation we have today."

Taiyi and Kunpeng both said, "Your Majesty will surely succeed."

Di Jun nodded, and with a flash, he disappeared. Afterwards, Taiyi and Kunpeng also left the Sun Palace and went about their respective business.

However, Di Jun was unaware that shortly after he went into seclusion, Zhunti, who had been calculating the secrets of heaven on Mount Sumeru in the west, stopped.

"What a great calamity for the human race! I never expected that even the eldest brother of Wuwei would make a move. Is the final moment of this great calamity finally approaching? Then let me add fuel to the fire!" Zhunti muttered to himself.

At this time, Jieyin was still in seclusion, trying to combine the method of attaining enlightenment in dreams with the method of severing the three corpses.

Therefore, Zhunti did not consult with him, but got up and disappeared in a flash.
