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

Di Jun gripped Xi He's shoulders and said solemnly, "Wake up! Only a sage can protect the children now. Otherwise, they will inevitably be plotted against."

The pebble that saved Xiao Er was his chance at life.

"But would a sage be willing to help us?" Xihe dared not place her hopes on others.

Di Jun remained silent for a while. He was not sure if he could get the protection of a saint. After all, during the celebration, apart from the saints who came to plunder a bunch of things, no saint was willing to visit.

But as a father, he had to give it his all.

"The Sage Hongyun is the kindest of all. I suspect that the pebble was thrown by the Sage Hongyun. If it weren't for that pebble, Xiao Er would have been killed, and we would have arrived much later."

"The feud between the demon race and the Western saints is irreconcilable. Now that my children have caused such a disaster, only Wuzhuang Temple can protect my sons."

Di Jun patiently spoke to Xi He, word by word, and also to the surviving children.

Xihe was persuaded by Dijun: "Then let's go to Wuzhuang Temple right away!"

Di Jun: "Wait a moment. Wuzhuang Temple is currently closed to visitors. Even if we go to beg, we may not be able to see the Sage."

"What should we do then?" Xihe wiped away her tears and looked at Dijun expectantly.

If she had known that the sage would personally commit such a despicable and wicked act, she would have preferred to stay with the children in Tang Valley.

When she gave birth, she gave birth to ten golden crows, which brought great joy to the demon race. Emperor Jun stayed by her side every day, neglecting his younger sister. At the time, she felt sorry for her sister, but now it seems that her sister was better off, living happily with her daughters on the Taiyin Star.

"Holy crap!" Taiichi walked in, his face pale.

He already knew what was happening outside, but he was seriously injured. Although his life was not in danger, he needed time to recover and could not go with his brother and sister-in-law.

Upon learning that five out of ten of his nephews had perished, he was heartbroken and, not wanting to cause his elder brother and sister-in-law further grief, refrained from coming in and instead wiped away his tears outside.

Di Jun: "Taiyi, your injuries have not yet healed, you must not overexert yourself."

Taiyi said to himself, "The fact that the Sage Zhenyuanzi can protect Kong Xuan shows that he does not care about origins or karma. I am willing to take my nephews to Wuzhuang Temple to ask the two sages for protection."

"If Wuzhuang Temple doesn't work, then go to Kunlun Mountain. I have the Primordial Purple Qi, and there will always be a sage willing to help."

Di Jun scolded, "Nonsense!"

The Primordial Purple Qi has already merged with the primordial spirit. To extract the Primordial Purple Qi, it must be forcibly separated, which would undoubtedly kill Taiyi. Although he wanted to save the children, he was also unwilling to lose his younger brother.

Taiyi: "Finally, there's a way. Maybe we can persuade the Sage without using the Primordial Purple Qi! Besides, we still have Kong Xuan in the Heavenly Court."

Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance. Over the years, they had used the best resources to help Kong Xuan and search for the remnants of the Phoenix Clan. Although the results were minimal, Kong Xuan still owed them a debt of gratitude. Perhaps now was the time.

"I will go with you, lest the sage think we are not respectful enough." Di Jun stood up and took a few small golden crows from Xi He's arms.

Taiyi shook his head but remained silent. Since his elder brother became the Demon Emperor, he had grown increasingly distant from his former fellow Daoists. Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were not the type to value rules and pomp; it would likely backfire.

Di Jun and Xi He were so focused on the little golden crows that they didn't notice Tai Yi's expression. They simply carried the remaining four little golden crows and set off.

Apart from the tenth little golden crow that was on duty as usual, the remaining four little golden crows were taken to Wuzhuang Temple by them.
