Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

The group had no choice but to leave Zixiao Palace together.

Laozi and Yuanshi wanted to return to Kunlun Mountain to go into seclusion and consolidate what they had learned from listening to the Dao. Tongtian wanted to travel through the prehistoric world but was ruthlessly rejected and forcibly dragged back to Kunlun Mountain.

Hongyun was taken back to Wuzhuang Temple by Zhenyuanzi, who was there for him to cultivate in seclusion. In the end, he saw Hongyun petting the panda he had been doing for many years.

Just as Zhen Yuanzi was about to persuade Hongyun to prioritize cultivation for the third time, Di Jun's voice came from outside.

It wasn't that Di Jun was outside Longevity Mountain, but rather that he was proclaiming this to the primordial world.

"Heaven's will prevails!"

"Today, we, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, establish the demon race. All birds and beasts, plant spirits, and beings formed from the essence of the sun and moon may become demons!"

"Above the Nine Heavens, establish the Demon Court! From then on, the Demon Court will govern all demons, regulate the celestial cycles, determine fortune and misfortune, and suppress the demon race's destiny with the Chaos Bell!"

"I, Di Jun, am the Demon Emperor!"

"My younger brother, Taiyi, is the Eastern Emperor!"

"Together with the Demon Master Kunpeng, Emperor Fuxi, and Empress Nuwa, they will jointly govern the Heavenly Court and control the demon race!"

"Heaven bears witness!"

With the presence of both demons and a demon court, the chanting of prayers spread throughout the primordial world, making everyone aware that a demon court had appeared in the Nine Heavens, and that the Demon Emperor Jun commanded thousands of demons.

The Heavenly Dao bestowed a great deal of merit upon them, with 50% going to Di Jun, 20% to Tai Yi, 10% to Kunpeng, Fuxi, and Nuwa, and the remaining 20% ​​spreading throughout the demon race, strengthening their fortune.

Subsequently, a magnificent and solemn palace appeared out of thin air above the Nine Heavens. Emperor Jun and Taiyi immediately led a group of demons to the Nine Heavens and took over the Demon Court.

The world gradually returned to calm.

Hongyun swallowed a mouthful of black jade plum blossom, her face full of doubt. Had Dijun and Taiyi already begun winning hearts and minds and establishing a demon court so early?

Could it be that I remembered it wrong? I clearly remembered that Di Jun suggested to the Demon Court after the third sermon, so how come it was decided so early now?

Zhen Yuanzi sighed and said, "The two of them want to emulate the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin in the past and become the overlords of the primordial world. However, considering the fate of the three races, I'm afraid that the day the demon race becomes the overlord of the primordial world will not be far from its demise."

Hongyun blinked, realizing for the first time that Zhen Yuanzi was so insightful about the affairs of the primordial world and the will of Heaven, guessing things with perfect accuracy.

However, Hongyun could not reveal what she knew, so she could only say, "Since Heaven has bestowed merit, it means that the birth of the demon race and the Heavenly Court is inevitable. If it is not Dijun, it will be someone else."

"No matter what the demon race does, it has nothing to do with you and me." Zhen Yuanzi warned with his eyes. He never liked to get too involved with outsiders. As long as he and Hongyun could cultivate peacefully, that was enough.

Therefore, we still need to keep an eye on Hongyun, who is so restless. After all, he dared to provoke Yuanfeng back then, so it's no big deal for him to get entangled with the demon race now.

Hongyun remained silent. If the demons didn't provoke him, he wouldn't actively provoke them. But if Kunpeng held a grudge against him and attacked him like in the novels, he wasn't afraid of a feud or a battle.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were deep and mysterious. Hongyun quickly promised, "Yes, yes, I promise that I will not offend others unless they offend me. I will focus on cultivation and attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

If someone offends me, I'll first fleece them, then fleece them again, and finally set up two barbecue grills, sprinkle some barbecue seasoning, have a hearty meal, and then fleece their family and friends again.
