History

Early Conflict with the Witch Clan

Di Jun attended Hongjun’s sermon with Donghuang Taiyi. When their confrontation with the Twelve Ancestral Witches threatened to become a fight, Hong Yun’s intervention gave Di Jun a dignified opportunity to withdraw. She ordered Taiyi to put away the Chaos Bell rather than risk offending the Saint, then claimed the sixth cushion inside the palace 37 38.

She subsequently allied with Jieyin and Zhunti against the witches. Despite using the River Diagram and Luo Shu, Di Jun was overwhelmed by Jumang and Shebishi’s combined Nine Forms of Heaven Splitting and ordered a retreat 42.

At Buzhou Mountain, Di Jun and Taiyi ambushed Chu Feng with Solar True Fire after he received seven gourds. His ice technique severely injured both sisters. Chu Feng prevented Zhurong from pursuing them because killing them could provoke the Heavenly Dao and trigger the calamity prematurely 43.

Expansion of the Heavenly Court

Following Ji Meng’s proposal, Di Jun sought to bring the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans under Demon Clan rule. She first led billions of demon soldiers against the Dragon Clan after Ao Qing refused submission. Ancestral Dragon suppressed the invasion, exposing the gap between Di Jun’s Quasi-Saint cultivation and the ancient clan leader’s strength 60 61 62.

To restore the Demon Clan’s prestige, Di Jun next marched on the Phoenix Clan. Yuanfeng’s recovered cultivation defeated the Demon Marshals and forced the sisters to surrender three spiritual treasures before leaving 62 63.

To secure their departure, Di Jun paid Yuanfeng three Top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasures despite the newly established court’s limited reserves. She regarded the payment as a painful loss of treasures capable of suppressing fortune 63.

Di Jun then pursued recruitment rather than direct conquest. On Bai Ze’s advice, she offered Kunpeng the position of Demon Master, status second only to the two rulers, and assistance against Hong Yun. Kunpeng accepted, but their subsequent attempt to seize Hong Yun’s Primordial Violet Qi at Treasure Distribution Cliff was repelled by Dijiang and Zhurong 64 67.

Di Jun also attacked Dong Wanggong’s Immortal Court, dismissing his authority over male immortals as irrelevant to the female Demon Clan rulers 72.

Her eventual recruitment of Dragon and Phoenix Clan members proved costly. Yuanfeng deliberately sent members burdened with heavy karma, while Taiyi independently accepted the Qilin Clan. The Heavenly Court inherited all three clans’ karma, sharply reducing its fortune and obstructing Di Jun’s cultivation 73 75.

Heavenly Marriage

Seeking to overcome the resulting bottleneck, Di Jun and Taiyi proposed a Heavenly Marriage to Xihe and Changxi. When the lunar sisters refused, Di Jun attacked with a stellar formation. Wangshu intervened, declared Xihe and Changxi her disciples, and drove the Demon Clan rulers away 75.

Bai Ze originally recommended asking Nuwa to arrange the marriage with the Red Embroidered Ball. After divining that Nuwa was discussing the Dao with Houtu in Witch Clan territory, Di Jun rejected the delay and went to the Taiyin Star herself. She considered marriage between female immortals largely a formality and believed her imperial status made her a suitable match for the lunar sisters 75.

Di Jun appealed to Hongjun, and Chu Feng proposed Dong Wanggong as an alternative partner capable of harmonizing yin and yang with her. Hongjun obtained the Heavenly Dao’s approval and supplied the means to restore Dong Wanggong’s body and soul. The completed marriage raised Di Jun to perfected Quasi-Saint 76 77.

Di Jun initially resented marrying a defeated enemy, but accepted the arrangement as both Hongjun’s decree and the Heavenly Dao’s will. After reviving Dong Wanggong with the Nine-Turn Soul Gathering Golden Elixir, she offered a choice between becoming her Dao Companion and being destroyed beyond rebirth. Dong Wanggong accepted under this threat and was promised the positions of Eastern Lord and Heavenly Empress. The marriage brought Heavenly Dao merit to the Demon Clan’s fortune dragon, Di Jun, and Taiyi 77.

Soon afterward, Di Jun again moved against Hong Yun, supported by Taiyi, Kunpeng, and the Western powers. Chu Feng and the Twelve Ancestral Witches defeated her forces. When Chu Feng tried to reconcile Kunpeng with Hong Yun, Di Jun urged Kunpeng to maintain her grievance and was struck with the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler 78 79 80.

Sainthood and Renewed Expansion

Di Jun welcomed the possibility of Laozi and Yuanshi establishing teachings among the demons, recognizing that their prospective Sainthood could strengthen her court. After their advancement, she entered seclusion and ultimately attained Sainthood herself through the Demon Clan’s flourishing providence and the Heavenly Dao’s assistance 86 88.

Confident in her new power, she launched an extermination campaign against the Witch Clan. Her Solar True Fire threatened the Great Witches, but the Ancestral Witches formed the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation. Its Pangu phantom injured her and demonstrated that Sainthood alone did not guarantee victory 88 89 90.

Unable to conquer the witches, Di Jun turned toward Xi Wangmu’s West Kunlun. She intended either to secure submission or destroy the faction as an example. When West Kunlun vanished, she traced Xi Wangmu’s last detectable aura to Buzhou Mountain and suspected Witch Clan involvement 101 105.

Her proposed inducement was to appoint Xi Wangmu as Yaochi Golden Mother. West Kunlun was selected because the witches were too powerful to conquer, while the Western Religion possessed two Saints and was not a faction Hongjun wished her to attack 101.

Alliance with Her Parallel Counterpart

Chu Feng brought Male Di Jun and Male Donghuang Taiyi to the Heavenly Court. Di Jun initially attacked the visitors as impostors, but their identical abilities, treasures, and knowledge of private events persuaded her that they truly were counterparts from another world 115 116 121.

Although her counterpart was weaker than she was, Chu Feng left the visitors with protective divine light before departing. Di Jun then reluctantly ordered a Nine Dragons Heavenly Banquet to welcome them 116.

She asked Male Di Jun to help make the Demon Clan the world’s sole ruler. He instead warned that the Witch-Demon War was a death trap arranged by the Heavenly Dao. The two later developed a plan to preserve the Demon Clan through the calamity 121 140.

Kunpeng’s incitement of Di Jun’s ten daughters nearly derailed that plan. Nine Golden Crows were killed by Dayi, and Di Jun’s grief drove her to attack Dayi personally. Chu Feng’s talisman blocked her Saint-level strike, while Nuwa secretly rescued Dayi. Believing Dayi dead, Di Jun formally declared war on the witches 140 141 150.

Before her intervention against Dayi, Male Di Jun had briefly restored her composure by reminding her of their plan. Di Jun recognized that calamity Qi had clouded her reason and nearly driven her to abandon their arrangements 140.

For the clan’s survival, Di Jun nevertheless agreed to seek Kunpeng’s return with the four Saints as mediators. Chu Feng ultimately negotiated a different solution: he strengthened Di Jun, Taiyi, and their counterparts, after which Di Jun swore a Heavenly Dao oath stripping Kunpeng of office and ending her karmic connection to the Demon Clan 149 150 151.

During these negotiations, Di Jun rejected an initial offer of ten Yellow Middle Plums before accepting an increase in cultivation. Chu Feng raised her and Taiyi to Saint Sixth Heaven and their counterparts to Saint First Heaven. Di Jun’s subsequent oath removed Kunpeng’s share of Demon Clan fortune and nearly caused Kunpeng to fall out of the Saint realm 151.

Prolonged War and the Witch-Slaying Swords

Di Jun and Male Di Jun supported prolonging the conflict to temper surviving demons and keep potentially dangerous allies occupied. Di Jun demanded that Laozi supply pills and help draw Tongtian into the Demon Clan’s camp, invoking Laozi and Yuanshi’s dependence on its fortune 154.

After agreeing to a thousand-year truce with Dijiang, she obtained Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs from Laozi and a Houtian Spiritual Treasure from Yuanshi. Following another military setback, Hongjun advised her and Taiyi to comprehend the formation within the River Diagram and Luo Shu 158 160.

In an intervening battle, Di Jun and Taiyi used their Sixth Heaven cultivation and treasures to suppress Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, who were then at the First Heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. The encounter demonstrated their substantial individual advantage despite the continued threat of the witches’ combined formation 157.

After thirty thousand years of stalemated warfare, Bai Ze reported that human blood could weaken Witch Clan bodies. Di Jun ordered humans slaughtered for their blood essence and souls. The Heavenly Court’s craftsmen forged 129,600 Witch-Slaying Swords over a hundred years, and Di Jun distributed them to the army for another offensive 172 173.

Houtu’s attainment of the Dao increased Di Jun’s wariness, but she initially rejected Dijiang’s proposal for a truce 174. During later preparations, Bai Ze presented her with the blood essence and souls of hundreds of millions of humans, and she again ordered the court’s artifact-refining grandmasters to forge Witch-Slaying Swords. When the subsequent hundred-year truce expired, Di Jun challenged Dijiang to another battle to the death 179.

Final Battle and Sacrifice

During the decisive battle, Di Jun commanded the Myriad Stars Array against the witches’ Pangu manifestation. Male Di Jun and Male Donghuang Taiyi joined the array as reinforcements before the fighting became a close-quarters Saint War 184 185.

Di Jun summoned the counterparts after sensing that the formation led by four Ancestral Witches who had attained Hunyuan Grand Unity exceeded her ability to control the confrontation. Their arrival restored the array’s radiance and allowed it to contend with the Pangu True Body 184.

During the formation clash, interference through the starry sky’s origin stripped Di Jun of control over the stars sustaining her array. Its concentrated pillar of starlight disintegrated, and she suffered a backlash that made her spit blood. After the witches also withdrew their formation, Di Jun immediately ordered close-quarters combat 185.

Male Di Jun attempted to sacrifice himself to strengthen her. Di Jun stopped him, declaring that a Demon Clan emperor did not need to purchase victory in that manner. Instead, she transferred her own Saint power and origin to him, while Taiyi did the same for her counterpart 185 186.

Di Jun explained that her apparent immortality was a shackle: her primordial spirit belonged to the Heavenly Dao, leaving her unable to change the future she perceived. Her counterpart retained ownership of his spirit and therefore offered the Demon Clan a path beyond that control 186.

She specifically rejected a future in which the demons became puppets of heaven’s mandate and resources for the Saints’ sects. Rather than accept her counterpart’s sacrifice for a higher but still constrained Saint realm, she entrusted him with her power, Dao insights, and ambition for the clan’s freedom 186.

Her sacrifice raised Male Di Jun to the Fifth Heaven of Hunyuan. Dijiang saluted her as a worthy opponent, and her successor vowed to fulfill her hopes. The fused origin and this world’s laws subsequently transformed the surviving counterpart into a woman resembling the original Di Jun; this successor is distinct from the Di Jun who dissolved into the Dao 186 187.

The successor then committed the Demon Clan to withdrawing beyond the heavens and abandoning the struggle for supremacy in the Primordial World. Although the transformed ruler described their shared identity as “She is me, and I am her,” Chu Feng explicitly recognized that the person before him was the former Male Di Jun rather than the original woman who had sacrificed herself 187.

Appearance

• Features: Breathtaking beauty, phoenix eyes, and a naturally majestic, domineering bearing 115 116.
• Eyes: At her first appearance, countless stars seem to be born and perish within her eyes 37.
• Clothing: An imperial crown and robes, including a Golden Crow imperial robe worn when leading the army 86 89.
• Battle conveyance: A magnificent chariot drawn by nine dragon horses 89.

Personality

Di Jun is proud, authoritarian, and committed to Demon Clan supremacy. She treats resistance to the Heavenly Court as grounds for conquest, threatening to destroy the Dragon Clan and Xi Wangmu’s faction if they refuse submission. Her belief in imperial authority also underlies her attempt to force the Heavenly Marriage on Xihe and Changxi 60 75 101.

She is nevertheless pragmatic rather than uniformly reckless. She avoids fighting outside Hongjun’s palace, personally recruits Kunpeng through carefully chosen incentives, and suppresses her anger when confronting the consequences of the three clans’ karma. She also recognizes how to turn Laozi and Yuanshi’s dependence on Demon Clan fortune into material support 38 64 73 154.

Her pragmatism can be coercive and ruthless. She forces Dong Wanggong to accept marriage under threat of annihilation and authorizes the mass slaughter of humans to manufacture weapons against the witches 77 172 179.

Her daughters’ deaths expose the limits of that restraint, with the calamity’s baleful aura intensifying her rage. Ultimately, however, her devotion to the Demon Clan outweighs her attachment to her own power and immortality: she sacrifices herself to give it a future free of the Heavenly Dao’s control 140 141 186.

Her understanding of heavenly authority changes over time. After attaining Sainthood, she justifies exterminating the witches as the rightful duty of a Heavenly Emperor against those who defy heaven. By the final battle, she regards her own Saint Position as a poisoned gift and rejects the mandate that would reduce the Demon Clan to expendable puppets 89 186.
