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

"Waiter, you're the smartest! When you meet the Emperor later, make sure you behave well and win his favor, okay?"

Outside Wuzhuang Temple, Xihe gazed tenderly at the few little golden crows.

Taiyi hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to speak up and remind her, "Sister-in-law, the Sage can hear you."

Xihe was devastated by the loss of her beloved son. If it weren't for her remaining children, she probably would have fainted from crying. Now, she is forcing herself to come for help, but she has lost some of her rationality.

"It's alright, what is there that a sage doesn't know or understand!" Di Jun comforted Xi He, half-embracing her, and called out at the door, "Di Jun of the demon race requests an audience with the sage."

Guan Nei Hongyun sighed: "He really lowered himself. This is the first time in all these years that I've heard him use the word 'beg'."

"Should we let them in?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

He was a Great Dao Saint, and although his actions in the primordial world were somewhat constrained, he was not afraid of the Heavenly Dao. Hongyun took a liking to the little golden crow and wanted to take him as a disciple, even if it meant getting involved in karma and going against the will of the Heavenly Dao, he didn't care.

Hongyun said softly, "Let them in!"

"The host has been in this primordial world for so many years, why is there still this unnecessary, rotten kindness!"

The system suddenly switched to a real human voice, speaking in Hongyun's mind.

Hongyun smiled and said, "I am still me after all."

Even though he did some immoral things and gained some anger points, they were all directed at people who actively provoked him or behaved badly. Hongyun never considered himself a bad person. Being kind to innocent people is not a wrong thing.

When Emperor Jun and Taiyi saw the gates of Wuzhuang Temple open, they were overjoyed.

"Please follow me, both of you." Mingyue led Dijun and the others to Yuanzi of Hongyun Town.

"Paying homage to the Sage!" Di Jun and the other two immediately bowed deeply. If Hong Yun hadn't cast his spell quickly, they would have already been kneeling on the ground.

Hongyun: "No need for such formalities."

Di Jun pleaded, "The Sage is all-knowing and surely knows why we have come. My son is young and has committed a terrible crime. Only the Sage can save him now. Please, Sage, have mercy and save my son."

Di Jun came to ask for a favor, so this was the attitude he should have, but Hong Yun felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to him. Di Jun, who had once used marriage as a tool of power and was arrogant and domineering, had humbled himself to this extent for the sake of his child.

Hongyun didn't have the habit of keeping people hanging, and said directly, "I intend to take your two sons as my disciples."

Di Jun was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Our demon race will never forget this great kindness."

"Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking. What I want to take isn't the golden crows in your arms, but the already dead Little Five and Little Nine." Hongyun interrupted his ecstatic joy.

Xihe murmured, "But Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu are already dead..."

Taiyi reacted even faster: "Does the sage have a way to bring the dead back to life?"

All three of them stared intently at Hongyun, eagerly awaiting her to say what they were thinking.

"Xiao Wu is clever and cautious, while Xiao Jiu is timid and cowardly, yet he died protecting his brother from a sword. I intend to take them as my disciples. Therefore, when they died from arrow wounds, their souls were collected by me, and I can use a magical treasure to revive them. However, they are no longer the Three-Legged Golden Crows, nor are they your demon princes."

Hongyun's words were very clear: he only resurrected Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu; he didn't like the others and didn't collect their souls. He also wouldn't keep the little golden crows that Dijun brought.

Xihe knelt down with a thud, pleading, "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and save my son!"

Hongyun ignored Xihe's pleas. Although he was reluctant, he wasn't willing to save just anyone.
