Buzhou Mountain was formed from the spine of Great God Pangu after he opened the heavens. It was shrouded in a pressure believed to be Great God Pangu's will; none below Da Luo could climb it.
But after the Three Thousand Great Luo jointly attained the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao underwent drastic changes, Buzhou Mountain had also experienced some strange transformations.
Di Jun was probably the first person besides the Dao Ancestor to discover those changes.
After obtaining the gourd, he had followed a summons to Buzhou Mountain.
No one knew what information Di Jun had obtained, but afterward, he sent word to all the Innate Divine Saints who had agreed to join his organization, asking them to gather at Buzhou Mountain Summit.
"Buzhou Mountain Summit?!" Fang Xun stared in shock at the ancient, boundless continent before him. Yes, a continent!
The heavenly pillar that was Buzhou Mountain possessed time-space properties similar to those of Da Luo. Its true size was impossibly vast, yet its summit was a continent whose end even Golden Immortals could not see...
It was still somewhat unbelievable.
Fang Xun looked up. Less than ten thousand zhang above the continent was the Heaven-Earth Fetal Membrane, and beyond it lay the Primordial Wilderness Starry Sky.
The Primordial Wilderness Starry Sky was no smaller than the Primordial Wilderness itself. Countless stars within it were governed by the Sun Star and Moon Star, radiating brilliant light.
"This is what it means to pluck stars with a raised hand."
Fang Xun sighed again and casually sent the scene before him to the Chat Group.
Ye Fan: "This place would be very suitable for building the Heavenly Court."
Ye Tiandi's eye was exceptionally sharp; he immediately grasped the key point.
Fang Xun: "This is Buzhou Mountain Summit. Today should be the day the Heavenly Court emerges."
Just then, Fang Xun's heart stirred. He and Fu Xi looked toward a certain spot on the continent, where two men were striding through the sky toward them.
"Daoist Fu Xi!" It was Di Jun and Tai Yi!
Compared to before, the two were even more extraordinary in bearing. It was not merely because they had advanced to Great Luo Supreme; they also carried an air of high spirits.
"Daoist Di Jun, Daoist Tai Yi." Fu Xi stepped forward to greet them, while Fang Xun offered the salute of a junior.
"Oh, it's you—Daoist Nuwa's disciple." Tai Yi remembered this disciple who had dared to say there were too many Innate Divine Saints.
"Teacher is in secluded cultivation at the New Dao Field and could not attend the appointment. Please forgive her, Seniors." Fang Xun apologized.
"Daoist Nuwa's attainments truly rival creation..." Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance, both recalling the scene when Nuwa had acted before.
"Daoists, what is the purpose of today's gathering?" Fu Xi asked why they had assembled here.
"Daoist Fu Xi, please be patient. We still need to welcome several more Dao Friends."
Those worthy of Di Jun personally receiving them were naturally Great Luo Supremes no weaker than Fu Xi!
"A total of nine Great Luo Supremes, plus that Demon Empress who has yet to appear. Later, there will also be Kunpeng..."
Even before the Demon Race had been established, it already possessed such a lineup. In terms of apparent strength, it was in no way inferior to the Witch Clan.
It had to be said that the future Di Jun and Tai Yi had painted truly moved the hearts of many Innate Divine Saints. Even Great Luo Supremes could not remain unmoved.
Among those Great Luo Supremes, Bai Ze drew Fang Xun's attention the most. This Innate Divine Saint's manifested Innate Dao Body was a white-clothed, white-haired middle-aged man with a three-inch white goatee.
He was unfamiliar with the others. Most likely, they had not survived the Witch-Demon Calamity. Well, to be fair, most of those here would not survive it...
Bai Ze was one of the few survivors.
In Fang Xun's memories, Bai Ze was the very embodiment of being born with knowledge. He understood the feelings of all things and knew the principles of all things, standing out even among the Innate Divine Saints.
"This Little Friend and I are fated." Bai Ze spoke like an old Primordial Wilderness creature right from the start.
Fang Xun had noticed him, and he had noticed Fang Xun as well. After briefly speaking with Fu Xi, he turned toward Fang Xun.
"This is my martial nephew, Xuansu."
"Xuansu..." Bai Ze and Fu Xi were truly alike in their styles of conduct. Both were strategist types, and both excelled at peering into heavenly secrets.
Bai Ze instinctively performed a divination with his fingers, only to run into Nuwa's Dao Rhyme of creation. He could only silently withdraw his hand.
It would have been impolite to continue calculating.
"Thank you all for answering the invitation. My purpose today is simple: to determine the heavenly mandate of our side!"
Di Jun led the Great Luo Supremes to the very center of the Buzhou Mountain continent. A vast number of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals had already gathered there!
Even Great Luo Supremes would not care about such numbers, but Fang Xun's scalp tingled just looking at them.
There were hundreds of thousands of Golden Immortals like him!
These were the subordinates Di Jun and Tai Yi had spent years recruiting and subduing, one of the foundations of their power.
Di Jun and Tai Yi stood before the countless Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, their destinies linked.
"Please look, Dao Friends." With a wave of Di Jun's hand, his companion Spiritual Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Book, flew out and formed a strange pattern of countless lines in the air.
This was the Heavenly Dao expounded by the River Diagram and Luo Book.
"After I ascended to Da Luo and communed with the Heavenly Dao, I obtained the character 'Demon.'"
With another wave of his hand, the lines of the pattern symbolizing the Heavenly Dao gradually vanished. In the end, only a few strokes remained, forming an Innate Dao Mark.
"Demon"!
"This?!" Those Great Luo Supremes were the most shocked. From the character "Demon," they could see the future of the Primordial Wilderness!
At that moment, a palm-sized gray little bell appeared in Tai Yi's hand. He tossed it into the sky.
Dong! Dong! Dong...
The Chaos Bell rang, its sound shaking the Primordial Wilderness!
Countless Primordial Wilderness beings abruptly raised their heads and looked toward Buzhou Mountain.
The Great Luo Supremes among them all awoke from seclusion, looking toward Buzhou Mountain Summit in shock or confusion, where they saw Di Jun and the others.
"Heavenly Dao above!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi had long prepared for this. They spoke in unison, using the Great Luo Divine Mystery to stir the Heavenly Dao!
"The beings of the Primordial Wilderness are scattered, and all living creatures are ignorant. Therefore, we, Di Jun and Tai Yi, establish the Demon Race. With the River Diagram and Luo Book and the Chaos Bell, we suppress the Demon Race Destiny. From this day onward, we shall govern all demons of the Primordial Wilderness, enlighten living beings, and act on behalf of Heaven..."
The brothers' voices echoed throughout the Primordial Wilderness, stirring the Heavenly Dao. After the Chaos Bell rang nine times, they formally made their covenant with the Heavenly Dao.
"Not good!"
Many Great Luo Supremes immediately sensed that something was wrong and sought to forcibly intervene to prevent the Demon Race from being established.
This was even the first time they had heard of the concept of the Demon Race, yet they all chose to follow their instincts and destroy the entire Demon Race!
This was the Great Luo Dao Struggle: if you existed, I could not!
Boom!
The entire Primordial Wilderness shook. Those Great Luo Supremes who intended to act were forced to rely on their Great Luo Divine Mystery to return to the previous instant and stop themselves.
Because the Heavenly Dao had manifested!
Dong!
Before the aftershocks of the Chaos Bell's ninth ring had even faded, the Heavenly Dao manifested and affirmed the existence of the Demon Race.
"Why had we been unable to see the Demon Race before this?!"
Even the Great Luo Supremes were shocked and enraged. Before Di Jun and Tai Yi announced it to the Primordial Wilderness, not a single one of them had been able to glimpse even the slightest trace of it among the possibilities of the future!
This was not normal!
