Demon Emperor Dijun sat upon the throne within the Demon Emperor Palace, his expression as calm as an ancient well without a ripple as he gazed up at the vaulted ceiling of the grand hall, appearing almost lost in thought.
Your Majesty!
Isn't it just a human?
Is it worth offending Nüwa over them?
Nüwa and Fuxi were brother and sister; having offended Nüwa, they would inevitably offend the sage Fuxi as well.
Must the human race truly be eradicated?
At that moment, a slender, graceful woman with her hair tied in a high bun and a stunning, majestic visage appeared in the grand hall amidst a surge of pure white lunar radiance.
She was none other than Empress Xihe, the star lord of the Moon Star and also Dijun's wife.
Demon Emperor Dijun glanced briefly at Xihe before shifting his gaze away once more, unleashing his powerful perception to observe all current movements of the human race.
Originally, according to Demon Emperor Dijun's plans, Demon Saint Baize and Demon Master Kunpeng should have been more than enough to eliminate the human race, that thorn in their side.
Never had he expected those two fellows to have their encirclement broken clean through.
Though the price paid by the human race for their breakout was immense, it also revealed on a deeper level that a vast accumulation of parasites had already infested the Heavenly Court.
At the same time, it made Demon Emperor Dijun increasingly certain that the threat the human race posed to their Demon Clan would far exceed that of their current enemies, the Witch Clan.
Therefore, Demon Emperor Dijun cast aside his pride entirely and launched a direct sage-level annihilation against the human race.
Earth Dao Sage Peaceful Heart Niangniang had decreed that sage-level combat must not occur
