Time flowed in the Primordial Chaos, and hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye. Xuan Yi, Nuwa, and the others, who had been guests at Kunlun Mountain, returned to Buzhou Mountain.

"What?"

"Brother, how could you join the Demon Race?"

Upon returning to Kunlun Mountain, the two heard the shocking news.

It turned out that Sanqing and others had invited Xuan Yi and Nuwa to discuss the Dao. Fuxi, bored, had gone on a solo journey through the Primordial Chaos.

As the Primordial Chaos grew increasingly chaotic, Kunpeng, who was in the North Sea, could no longer stay put. For some unknown reason, he was unable to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. For his own safety, Kunpeng decided to join the Demon Court. Unexpectedly, he encountered Fuxi along the way.

If it had been just him, Kunpeng would have worried that the Demon Race wouldn't accept him. But with two peerless powerful beings, Di Jun wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse.

Thus, under Kunpeng's careful persuasion, Fuxi agreed to join the Demon Race with him.

Di Jun did not disappoint them. Fuxi was bestowed the title of Demon Emperor, placing him on equal footing with Tai Yi. Kunpeng also became the Demon Master. With this, the two successfully joined the Demon Court.

Hearing Fuxi's words, Nuwa was so enraged that her three corpses leaped, wishing she could smash Fuxi's pig-like head.

"Brother, do you know that the Demon Race and the Witch Race are currently at war? Aren't you jumping into a fire pit?"

"Alas, sister, brother-in-law, everyone has their own Dao. I am skilled in the art of Qimen Bagua. Before joining the Demon Race, I divined for myself and found that I am destined to be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race. My mind is made up, so please do not try to persuade me further."

Seeing Fuxi's determination, they knew further persuasion would be futile. They decided to let Fuxi make his own choice.

After Kunpeng's second sermon, he had been contemplating how to sever his Good Corpse.

His good thoughts kept stirring, as if an unseen force was guiding him to complete a task. Thus, Kunpeng traveled extensively, visiting many places in the Primordial Chaos.

Kunpeng discovered that the cultivation methods of the beings in the Primordial Chaos were passed down orally, with no way to record them.

"Hahaha, I understand, I understand!"

"If I can create Great Dao runes to record language, I will surely gain Merit and sever my Good Corpse!"

With this realization, Kunpeng began to devise a way to create writing. But creating writing was no easy feat. Kunpeng experimented with countless recording methods, but none could be passed down, all ending in failure.

Helpless, Kunpeng could only travel through the Primordial Chaos while trying to invent writing.

Until one day, Kunpeng inadvertently arrived at a Demon Race tribe.

The demons in this tribe were recording language using scratches.

If one scratch represented one, two scratches represented two.

This peculiar method of recording gave Kunpeng immense inspiration. He found a quiet place and began to study writing.

Time flowed by.

One day, Kunpeng began to wield his brush to create characters, as usual.

"Sun"

"Moon"

"Star"

"Constellation"

With each character Kunpeng created, a celestial phenomenon appeared, and his Good Corpse grew more solidified.

Finally, after Kunpeng created three thousand characters, his Good Corpse fully condensed into form.

"Hahaha, my Dao is complete!"

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Kunpeng, am grateful for the beings of the Primordial Chaos who live in ignorance and lack enlightenment and heritage. I, Kunpeng, have now created three thousand characters to record and pass down knowledge for the beings of the Primordial Chaos. I pray the Heavenly Dao bears witness!"

"Rumble..."

As soon as Kunpeng finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao responded, instantly bestowing a vast amount of Merit. The Primordial World was immediately bathed in resplendent light.

The Heavenly Dao Merit was divided into four parts: sixty percent fell upon Kunpeng, who seized the opportunity to sever his Good Corpse and successfully advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Ten percent fell onto the branch used to create the characters. Instantly, the branch, shimmering with golden light, transformed into a writing brush, becoming a Postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasure.

Twenty percent fell into the characters Kunpeng had created. Immediately, the three thousand Demon Script characters shone with golden light and flew into the minds of all beings in the Primordial Chaos.

The final ten percent fell into the River of Destiny, making the Demon Race's Destiny more vibrant.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on advancing to Quasi-Saint!"

Upon hearing the news, Di Jun and Tai Yi rushed to congratulate Kunpeng.

"Welcome, Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor!"

Seeing the two arrive, Kunpeng cupped his hands in greeting.

"Demon Emperor, I had an epiphany today while advancing to Quasi-Saint. I realized that our Demon Race is not yet complete."

"If this matter can be accomplished, not only will the Demon Emperor gain Merit, but the Demon Race's Destiny will also be greatly enhanced."

Hearing this, Di Jun became anxious. After all, Merit was a good thing; who wouldn't want it?

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me, Demon Master. Di Jun will be eternally grateful."

"The Heavenly Dao emphasizes the balance of yin and yang. Yin alone cannot flourish, and yang alone cannot give birth. You, Demon Emperor, were transformed from a Three-Legged Golden Crow and possess the strongest solar power in the world. Now, you are missing a Dao Companion who possesses supreme yin power."

"A simple Dao Companion isn't enough. The Demon Emperor will also need to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and prove his Heavenly Marriage. Only then will the Heavenly Dao surely be moved and bestow Merit."

"Prove a Heavenly Marriage?"

Di Jun became interested. But how was this Heavenly Marriage to be proven?

"Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, you could visit Dao Companion Nuwa on Buzhou Mountain. The Dao Ancestor bestowed the Red Embroidered Ball upon her, and I believe it's meant for this purpose."

As expected of the Demon Master, Kunpeng's analysis was completely accurate.

"Big Brother, I know who would be the most suitable candidate for the other party in the Heavenly Marriage."

Di Jun and Kunpeng both turned their gaze to Tai Yi, who had spoken.

"Big Brother, we two were born from the Sun Star. As far as I know, the Tai Yin Star has also birthed two goddesses. Both of them participated in the Dao Ancestor's second lecture, and their origins and talents are exceptionally good. Wouldn't they be a perfect match for you? Furthermore, Chang Xi and Nuwa are close friends, so this trip could serve two purposes."

"Good, we shall make a trip to Buzhou Mountain first."

Di Jun quickly made his decision, pulling Tai Yi along as they headed towards Buzhou Mountain. Kunpeng, meanwhile, remained to oversee the Heavenly Court.

Buzhou Mountain.

Xuan Yi, who was chatting with Nuwa, saw Di Jun and Tai Yi approaching from afar.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi? Why are these two here?"

Xuan Yi was a little puzzled. However, he couldn't neglect etiquette, so he and Nuwa rose to greet them.

"Dao Companion Xuan Yi! Dao Companion Nuwa! We have come uninvited, and we hope you will forgive us!"

"Dao Companion Di Jun, Dao Companion Tai Yi, we naturally welcome your visit."

Although he didn't have much of a relationship with them, Fuxi had just joined the Demon Court, and it wouldn't be good to offend them.

"Dao Companion Xuan Yi, we have come today for two reasons: first, to visit Dao Companion Fuxi, and second, to ask Dao Companion Nuwa to help arrange a marriage."

Xuan Yi suddenly understood. Di Jun was planning to prove his Heavenly Marriage?

"No problem, no problem. Just tell us what help you need, Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor."

It wasn't Xuan Yi's style to refuse Merit that was being delivered right to his doorstep.

"Thank you, Dao Companion Xuan Yi and Dao Companion Nuwa."

Seeing Xuan Yi agree so readily, Di Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing. My brother is, after all, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race. If I can contribute a little to the Demon Emperor's affairs, I should."

Nuwa summoned her Good Corpse and led Di Jun and the others towards the Tai Yin Star.

Tai Yin Star.

Chang Xi and Xi He were chatting.

"Sister, you mentioned the great war between the Demon Race and the Witch Race last time. Who won in the end, Di Jun or Di Jiang?"

Chang Xi linked her arm through Xi He's, wanting to hear the story of the prominent figure from the Demon Race.

"Oh, you. What's this? Don't tell me you've fallen for him. Shall I ask Dao Companion Nuwa to act as a matchmaker for you another day?"

Xi He looked at Chang Xi dotingly, teasing her.

"There's no need for another day. The Demon Emperor himself has been brought here directly."

Nuwa's Good Corpse said with a chuckle, covering her mouth, and then walked towards Chang Xi and Xi He.
