The Emperor and Empress Turn Against Each Other, Xi He Falls to Demonic Deviation
As Cihang watched Di Jun leave, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
Between the Witch and Demon Clans, Cihang has always maintained an attitude of neither making enemies nor joining any faction.
He fully accepted the goodwill shown by both tribes.
However, his actions inevitably raise suspicions of betrayal from both races.
He was helping the Witch Race improve their strength while also helping the demon clan.
Unconsciously, he once again balanced the power of the two races.
Perhaps human gender dysphoria is complex, and he wasn't as charitable as he appeared.
Whether it was the Witch Race or the demon clan, Cihang always cared most about himself.
Without giving it any further thought, Cihang activated her divine sense and began to focus on the changes in the demon race.
Based on reason, Di Jun's choice was not wrong; the fall of the Golden Crow was a fact.
His current approach is simply to maximize profits.
By gathering the power of the Nine Suns from the remnants of the Golden Crow, the Demon Race Fortune can be stabilized, and a glimmer of life can be left for the little Golden Crow.
But in matters of the heart, it's not like that.
Di Jun can accept it, but what about Xi He? Can she accept this outcome?
On that day in the Empress Wa's Palace, Cihang noticed their differing attitudes toward the matter.
The demon race is likely to experience some quite a stir in the future.
Having just advanced in cultivation, Cihang had no intention of continuing her seclusion and was unwilling to miss out on this excitement.
Di Jun was able to establish the demon race not only because of his strength, but also because of his extraordinary wisdom and control over the overall situation.
The River Diagram and Luo Book also provided him with much assistance.
As a sacred treasure of the Daoist arts, the River Diagram and Luo Book can not only deduce heavenly secrets, but also conceal them.
Under the cover of the River Diagram and Luo Book, Di Jun quickly found the Nine Yang Lands and set up the Golden Crow Spirit Nurturing Array there.
As Cihang said, it is still uncertain whether the Golden Crow can regenerate its true spirit, but a yang energy has already been integrated into the Demon Race Fortune.
The unstable fortune caused by the fall of the Golden Crow has now been completely stabilized.
Having learned from his previous experience, this time Di Jun went all out to set up a concealment array, completely hiding the strange phenomena in the Nine Yang Lands.
In this way, even a sage would find it difficult to understand the mysteries involved.
The key point is that no one knows he used the Nine Golden Crows formation, so naturally no one will deliberately search for or delay him.
After settling the Nine Golden Crows, Di Jun returned to the Heavenly Court with a smile on his face.
As soon as they stepped into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, they saw Xi He with a gloomy expression.
During this time, Di Jun has been working hard to develop the demon race, Xi He has been searching for the Golden Crow True Spirit without stopping for a moment.
However, the Netherworld did not appear, so she returned empty-handed.
Like many cultivators in the Primordial World, Xi He also values her own cultivation level the most.
Even when she married Di Jun, it was only because she valued the help of the demon race.
After becoming the Heavenly Empress, with the help of the Demon Race Fortune, Xi He's strength further increased.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she and Di Jun will be the best partners.
But after giving birth to the little golden crow, Xi He's thoughts changed.
Even though they didn't spend much time together and the little golden crow didn't inherit Xi He's bloodline, Xi He still put them first.
If it weren't for the fact that her own cultivation level was detrimental to the little golden crow's growth, she wouldn't have handed the little golden crow over to Di Jun.
It was this compromise that caused her to lose nine children.
It can be said that the moment the little golden crow was born, it became Xi He's calamity.
If the little golden crow can grow up safely, Xi He naturally have no problems.
But now, Xi He is doing so because they have almost gone mad.
"Di Jun, hand over my son's physical body to me. I want to use their bodies to sense the existence of true spirits!"
Xi He's return this time is for the remains of the Golden Crow.
They hoped to find the true spirit through the connection between the physical body and the corpse.
"Xi He, the idea that the true spirit of the Golden Crow has not dissipated is merely Cihang's speculation."
We should both know that even if the spirit hadn't dissipated back then, it's impossible for it to still exist in this world after so much time has passed.
Reality may be cruel, but we must accept it!
Looking at Xi He, Di Jun was deeply moved.
He wasn't indifferent to the little golden crow, but he cared more about his own future and that of the demon race.
As Demon Emperor, they had to consider the interests of the entire demon race.
"No, I will not give up as long as there is even the slightest chance."
I don't expect you to be like me.
"Just hand over my son's body to me, and I will go find him myself!"
Xi He was disappointed in Di Jun.
Although she knew that Di Jun's choice was right, understanding did not mean she could accept it.
"Nine Golden Crows have already fallen. Instead of wasting your time, you should focus more on Tenth Child!"
Di Jun offered another gentle word of comfort.
"Tenth Child has already overcome his tribulations. While his future may not be entirely smooth sailing, he is currently free from any calamities."
You can give up, but I won't.
Give me your body!
Xi He clearly wouldn't listen to Di Jun's advice.
"The Nine Golden Crows' physical body is not with me. I have placed it in a safe place and used the power of the great formation to nourish its body."
Rather than seeking an impossible outcome, we should strive to help them nurture a new and true spirit!
Given Xi He's insistence, Di Jun simply could not hide his actions.
"Re-nurturing the true spirit? Very well, so you had already abandoned them long ago."
That's right, that's the Di Jun I know. Nothing is more important than your grand ambitions!
As her anger reached its peak, Xi He became increasingly calm, her voice as cold as ancient ice.
Xi He did not argue with Di Jun, because she knew it was pointless.
Just as Di Jun couldn't change her, she couldn't change Di Jun either.
Xihe gave Di Jun a cold look, Xi He turned and left.
She did not return to the Heavenly Empress, but went straight to the Taiyin Temple, which she had not visited for a long time.
As Xihe turned and left, the red thread representing celestial marriage instantly dimmed and cracked.
"Xi He, why are you doing this!"
Watching Xi He's departing figure, Di Jun could only let out a helpless sigh.
He was worthy of the demon race, but he failed Xi He and the little golden crow.
Knowing Xi He's condition, he had no reason to stop Xi He.
This calamity can only be overcome by Xi He herself.
On the other side, as Xi He approached Taiyin, the once dim Taiyin Star once again shone with dazzling light.
Although Xi He relinquished the Great Yin Authority, her connection with the Taiyin Star could not be severed.
Looking at the Taiyin Star, Xi He felt a surge of emotions.
It even led to self-doubt.
In fact, after searching in vain, Xi He had already given up hope.
As Di Jun said, without the nourishment of the physical body, the true spirit cannot exist independently.
But she still couldn't accept it.
As time went by, Xi He's inner turmoil gradually evolved into a demon in her heart.
She was well aware of her current state; if she couldn't overcome her inner demons, not only would her cultivation stagnate, but she would also be in danger of completely succumbing to demonic possession.
There are only two ways to overcome inner demons.
One is the resurrection of the little golden crow, and the other is to kill Hou Yi and avenge the little golden crow.
