Shocking Guess! The Witch Clan is Fulfilling Pangu's Wish and Deceiving Heavenly Dao Merit!
Below Buzhou Mountain, it was a hive of activity.
With the final earth vein node perfectly filled by the "Pangu Divine Concrete," the spiritual energy concentration in the entire Buzhou Mountain region increased by thirty percent out of nowhere.
The mountain body was no longer a dead, majestic presence. Instead, it began to exude a steady, rhythmic breath of life.
Countless newly sprouted spiritual roots and immortal herbs burst forth from the previously bare rock walls, converging into patches of iridescent, dreamlike scenery.
The myriad races of the Primordial World watched from afar, all of them awestruck.
No one knew what the Witch Clan was up to, only that the sky-supporting divine mountain was undergoing some incredible transformation.
Beyond the thirty-third heaven, in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, there was dead silence.
Di Jun sat upon the imperial throne, a simple, ancient diagram floating before him. Within it, stars and rivers flowed, depicting the destiny trajectories of all beings in the Primordial World.
It was the Innate Supreme Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Script.
He was deducing the secrets of heaven, attempting to uncover the root of the Witch Clan's recent unusual activities.
Suddenly, Di Jun's movements ceased.
He stared intently at the star field representing the Witch Clan's destiny on the River Diagram and Luo Script.
Originally, it was a violent, mixed, blood-soaked crimson nebula, chaotic and disordered, yet vast and boundless, filled with destructive power.
But now, that crimson was fading at an incredible speed, replaced by a heavy, condensed, earth-like profound yellow!
Even more shocking to him was that this profound yellow destiny nebula was no longer a rootless duckweed. From its base, a brilliant pillar of light was shooting towards the sky, firmly connecting it to the Emperor Star representing Buzhou Mountain at the very center of the entire star chart!
Stable! Unprecedentedly stable!
It was as if the Witch Clan's destiny had transformed overnight from a group of mountain-occupying bandits into a "legitimate lineage" recognized by heaven and earth!
"Something's wrong!"
Di Jun abruptly stood up from his throne. His imperial robes fluttered as if by wind, and an uncontrollable surge of shock and anger caused ripples to appear in the space around him.
"Elder Brother!" A golden light flashed, and Taiyi's figure appeared in the hall. He held the Chaos Bell and sensed Di Jun's turbulent aura. "What troubles you?"
Di Jun didn't answer. He raised a finger and pointed at the River Diagram and Luo Script. "See for yourself."
Taiyi followed his gaze. The moment he looked, his signature arrogant expression froze on his face.
"This... how is this possible? How could the destiny of those barbarians who disrespect heaven and earth become so... so heavy and pure?"
An unfamiliar chill rose from the base of his spine and instantly spread throughout Di Jun's entire body.
This was beyond his understanding, overturning the natural order of the Heavenly Dao!
"This is by no means achievable through ordinary development," Di Jun's voice was icy, each word squeezed out as if from between his teeth. "Behind this, there must be a grand scheme, perhaps even... a great variable unknown to us!"
"It's more like," Di Jun's breath hitched for a moment, "a monstrous talent has emerged within the Witch Clan, one we completely do not understand!"
Just then, the Demon Master Kunpeng slowly walked into the hall. His gloomy eyes were also filled with solemnity and confusion.
"Your Majesty speaks the truth. I was just deducing the fate of the Northern Darkness and also found the flow of destiny in the Primordial World to be bizarre. The source points directly to Buzhou Mountain."
Kunpeng walked to the River Diagram and Luo Script and carefully examined the Witch Clan's destiny, which had completely turned profound yellow. He slowly uttered a few words: "This appearance of destiny... it's as if... it has gained heavenly favor."
"Heavenly favor?!" Taiyi sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly exploding!
"Ridiculous! In this Primordial World, the protagonists are none other than us, the Demon Clan! How could the Heavenly Dao favor them?!"
"Quiet." Di Jun raised his hand, stopping Taiyi's furious outburst.
His expression had returned to calm, but beneath that calm lay an even more surging killing intent.
"The protagonists of the Primordial World are our Demon Clan; this is a fixed outcome. However..." He changed his tone, his finger heavily tapping the center of the profound yellow nebula on the River Diagram and Luo Script.
"This variable, this monstrous talent, is attempting to overturn this fixed outcome! He doesn't understand the Laws of Heaven, yet he is conforming to another 'Dao' in a way we cannot comprehend!"
Kunpeng's heart tightened. "Your Majesty means... the legacy of Pangu?"
"Precisely!"
Golden flames burst from Di Jun's eyes. "To regulate the earth veins and stabilize the Primordial World, this is Pangu's unfinished work! That monstrous talent of the Witch Clan must have obtained some heaven-defying opportunity, acting to 'fulfill Pangu's wish,' thereby deceiving Heavenly Dao Merit and destiny!"
As he spoke, Taiyi and Kunpeng's expressions changed simultaneously. This speculation was more terrifying than any help from a great power!
If they were allowed to continue "building," then in the future Witch-Demon Decisive Battle, who would win and who would lose would truly become an unknown variable!
"This scoundrel must be eliminated!" Di Jun's voice was devoid of emotion. "We absolutely cannot let him continue! The steps of our Demon Clan in ruling the Primordial World cannot tolerate any stumbling blocks!"
Taiyi stepped forward, his battle intent soaring. "Elder Brother, give the order! I will immediately gather the Demon Gods and flatten that Buzhou Mountain!"
"Impossible." Kunpeng immediately objected. "The Witch Clan's destiny is currently flourishing, and they are protected by merit. Attacking Buzhou Mountain by force is the inferior strategy. The first thing we must do is investigate precisely who is orchestrating all of this."
Di Jun nodded. "The Demon Master's words are reasonable. To catch a snake, one must strike its vital point."
He turned, returning to sit on the imperial throne, his gaze piercing through the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, as if seeing the bustling construction site.
"A 'monstrous talent' who can make stubborn individuals like Gonggong and Zhurong obey, a 'wise man' who can come up with such a shocking plan..." Di Jun tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest.
"Issue my decree."
"Order the Demon God Bai Ze to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers to Buzhou Mountain under the guise of 'patrolling the Primordial World and proclaiming the might of the Heavenly Court.'"
He paused, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Tell Bai Ze, I don't want him to fight or cause trouble. I just want him to... 'accidentally' lose control of a demonic cloud, unleash the Nine Heavens Gale, and see if their proud constructions are made of paper or stone! I also want to test how capable that rat hiding behind them truly is!"
Meanwhile, at the highest lookout platform of the Buzhou Mountain construction site.
Xuanzheng was lounging leisurely on a beast-skin recliner, watching Zhunti, who had been "exiled" to mine ore, looking dejected as several Great Witches supervised his KPIs. A smile involuntarily crept onto Xuanzheng's lips.
Suddenly, the [Karma Scale] on his left hand vibrated gently, and a ripple appeared on the surface of the [Script Mirror] in his right hand.
Within the mirror, a phantom image of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall flashed and disappeared, leaving behind only a few blurry words:
[New actor about to enter the stage...]
[Role: Bai Ze (Demon Clan strategist)]
[Script Draft: Ordered to demolish, test their strength...]
Houtu appeared beside him at some point, looking at the "innocent" smile on Xuanzheng's face, and asked curiously, "Thirteenth Brother, the Demon Clan has likely noticed our activities. Aren't you worried?"
Xuanzheng lazily opened one eye, flipped the [Script Mirror] over, and smiled, "Worried? Why should I be worried?"
"Sister, our 'Buzhou Mountain Reinforcement Project' has always had a tight cash flow, and we have to be frugal with many high-grade materials."
He paused, and a foxy smile, unbefitting his age, appeared on his "innocent" face.
"Now that His Majesty the Demon Emperor has personally sent people to 'deliver investment funds' and 'high-grade building materials' to us, I should be happy!"
