The clamor and turmoil of the Heavenly Marriage ceremony in the Heavenly Court gradually subsided, but the chain reaction it brought about was quietly brewing throughout the prehistoric world.
After this whole "fiasco," His Majesty Di Jun not only avoided falling into despair, but seemed to have been buffed with some kind of "strive for self-improvement" effect, pouring all his pent-up energy into two great undertakings:
First, he urged Taiyi and Demon Master Kunpeng day and night to perfect that damned Grand Formation of the Stars. Second... well, he worked hard at "cultivating," striving to expand the Demon Race Heavenly Court's family as soon as possible and prove to those barbarians with facts that Di Jun could not only fight, but also reproduce!
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao felt somewhat guilty about the last wedding being disrupted, or perhaps the union of the Sun Star and Moon Star truly aligned with some great Yin-Yang Dao. Before many years had passed—by prehistoric standards—a piece of news that stirred the entire Demon Race emerged from the Sun God Palace—
Empress Xihe was pregnant!
And this was no ordinary happy news. Heavenly phenomena descended, Golden Crows circled the sun, and the essence of the entire Sun Star seemed to be converging upon the divine palace, foretelling that this prince yet to be born possessed an extraordinary origin!
Once the news spread, the Demon Race erupted in celebration. Even their golden dragon of fortune seemed to grow several circles thicker, and rehearsing the Grand Formation of the Stars became considerably smoother.
Di Jun practically had the wind at his heels as he walked, smiling at everyone he met, as though he had already seen ten... ah, fine, at least several imposing little Golden Crows, wielding True Sun Fire to help him burn Buzhou Mountain flat.
