Ten Suns Across the Sky, Di Jun's Orphaned Burden

"Sigh! I'm so bored! When can I finally go see the Primordial Chaos?"

After Di Jun's grand wedding, he had ten children. The moment the ten Golden Crows were born, they possessed the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. To protect them, Di Jun set up a formation on the Sun Star, allowing the ten Golden Crows to cultivate on the Fusang Tree.

And so, thousands of years passed.

The ten Golden Crows had long grown tired of their cultivation, and they always wanted to go see the Primordial Chaos.

"Big Brother, look! Father's formation actually has a loophole!"

The ninth Golden Crow unexpectedly discovered a large hole in the formation that had appeared at some point and quickly called for the eldest to investigate.

"Excellent, now we can go to the Primordial Chaos. Let's go help Father eliminate those damned Witch Race!"

Seeing an opportunity to leave, the ten Golden Crows didn't suspect anything and spread their wings, flying towards the Primordial Chaos.

The only ones in this world capable of breaking Di Jun's formation so silently were Saints. And the one who would do so shamelessly was none other than Saint Zhunti of the West.

The two owed too much Merit. In order to repay it, the first thing they did after becoming Saints was to instigate a war between the Witch and Demon races, thereby accelerating the development of the Primordial Chaos.

After leaving the Sun Star, the ten Golden Crows headed straight for the Witch Race.

Due to their lower cultivation, they were not yet able to control the True Sun Fire well. The ten Golden Crows flying through the air resembled ten suns.

Wherever they passed, rivers dried up, and countless living beings died or were injured.

"Kuafu, this is bad!"

"Ten little pesky birds from the Heavenly Court have arrived."

"They aren't holding back their True Sun Fire at all."

"Now, countless Witch Race tribes have been severely wounded!"

The Great Witch Kuafu of the Witch Race, upon receiving the news, let out an angry roar. He transformed into a giant ten thousand feet tall and ran towards the ten Golden Crows.

"Pesky birds, how dare you come to the Witch Race and cause trouble?"

"Watch as I pluck all your feathers!"

With a wave of his staff, Kuafu swung it towards the ten Golden Crows.

Kuafu of the Witch Race had the cultivation of the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. In a one-on-one fight, the ten Golden Crows were naturally no match for him.

Kuafu's staff swung with great force, and the ten Golden Crows could only desperately dodge.

Seeing Kuafu's ferocity and realizing they were outmatched, the ten Golden Crows felt a desire to retreat and spread their wings, fleeing westward.

"Trying to run?"

Seeing the ten Golden Crows flee, Kuafu was naturally unwilling. He took a stride and gave chase.

However, the heat emitted by the ten Golden Crows was simply too immense. Kuafu, being a stubborn fool, eventually died of thirst.

"Yay! Yay! Yay!"

"We killed a Great Witch."

"Father will be so proud of us!"

Seeing Kuafu dead, the ten Golden Crows became somewhat smug.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

As the Seventh Prince of the Golden Crow was still feeling smug, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He saw a long, sharp arrow embedded in his chest.

Before he could say anything more, his vision went black, and he fell.

The one who had struck was Kuafu's good friend, Hou Yi.

Seeing Kuafu killed by the ten Golden Crows, Hou Yi was overcome with grief and immediately drew his bow, shooting an arrow that killed the Seventh Prince of the Golden Crow.

Hou Yi, consumed by rage, revealed his Ancestral Witch true form.

He drew his divine bow until it was a full moon.

Another arrow was shot.

Seeing the Seventh Golden Crow dead, the other Golden Crows, who hadn't even figured out what was happening, saw an arrow flying towards the Fourth Golden Crow.

"Fourth, be careful!"

The Eldest Golden Crow shouted, but it was too late.

"Ah!"

The arrow pierced through his heart, and the Fourth Golden Crow died instantly.

"Ahhh!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Seeing his brothers die before his eyes, the Eldest Golden Crow was consumed by rage.

With a furious roar, he transformed into a golden light and charged at Hou Yi.

"You're asking for death!"

Hou Yi sneered.

He shot another arrow.

Boom.

The Great Golden Crow died on the spot, turning into a fireball and falling onto the Primordial Chaos.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Avenge big brother!"

The remaining Golden Crows let out piercing, furious shrieks.

They transformed into streaks of golden light and charged at Hou Yi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seeing this, Hou Yi drew his bow and fired repeatedly.

The Second, Third, and Eighth Golden Crows perished.

"Run! Quickly back to the Heavenly Court and report to Father Emperor!"

Seeing that they couldn't defeat Hou Yi.

The Fifth Golden Crow kicked the Tenth Golden Crow away.

The next instant.

An arrow struck its chest.

The remaining Golden Crows were also shot down one by one.

"Brother!"

The Tenth Golden Crow, tears in its eyes, flew towards the Heavenly Court.

He knew he couldn't die; he still had to make his father avenge his brothers.

Hou Yi wouldn't let him go.

He drew his bow until it was full.

An arrow flew towards the Tenth Golden Crow.

"Boom!"

Di Jun, who had arrived just in time, blocked the arrow.

Di Jun, who had been in seclusion in the Heavenly Court, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He counted on his fingers and learned that the Tenth Golden Crow was in danger.

Although he was a step late, he had managed to save his last son.

"Father, you must avenge my brothers!"

Looking at the corpses of the nine Golden Crows, Di Jun's eyes welled up with tears. He gathered all his magical power and unleashed an attack at Hou Yi.

"Boom!"

Hou Yi was sent flying by the blow. Although the Witch Race had strong bodies, he was left with only a breath of life.

Seeing that Hou Yi was not dead, Di Jun sent another blast of magical power.

"Di Jun, are you bullying our Witch Race, thinking we have no one?"

It was the Eleventh Ancestral Witch who arrived and blocked the attack.

Seeing that the other side had superior numbers, Di Jun dared not linger. He took the Tenth Golden Crow and went to Jade Capital Mountain.

"Honored Lady Nuwa! Di Jun seeks an audience."

Arriving at Jade Capital Mountain, Di Jun bowed deeply to Nuwa.

"Honored Lady Nuwa, I wish to wage war against the Witch Race."

"The Witch Race killed my nine sons; this hatred cannot be borne."

"Only my last son, Di Jun, is a constant worry."

"I implore Honored Lady Nuwa to look after him."

Di Jun, at this moment, had none of the majesty of the Demon Emperor, only the appearance of a worried father.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, rest assured. I have some connection with this child, so I will let him stay with me."

Nuwa, having calculated that she had some connection with the Tenth Golden Crow, agreed to take him in.

"Thank you, Honored Lady Nuwa!"

"If my Demon Race is victorious on this journey, I will certainly thank you for your great kindness."

With tears in his eyes, Di Jun took one last look at the Tenth Golden Crow before turning and flying back to the Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court.

Di Jun, with a look of grief on his face, sat on the Heavenly Emperor's Throne and issued orders to everyone.

"Quickly gather the great army! This time, we will definitely annihilate the Witch Race!"

"Eldest Brother, what exactly happened? Where are the ten nephews?"

Seeing Di Jun's state, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt that something was amiss.

"Nine of my ten children were killed by Hou Yi of the Witch Race. Only the youngest, the tenth, was saved by me."

"Fearing for his safety, I entrusted him to the care of Lady Nuwa."

Upon hearing this, Tai Yi was consumed by rage.

Xi He, standing beside him, nearly fainted, her eyes rolling back.

"Di Jun, you must avenge our children!"

Xi He cried, tears streaming down her face, clutching Di Jun's leg and begging him.

"My lady, rest assured! This time, I will definitely avenge my nine children!"

"Quickly gather the great army and assemble near Buzhou Mountain. Once the ten-thousand-year period is up, we shall wage war against the Witch Race!"

With Di Jun's command, the vast Demon Race army marched towards Buzhou Mountain.

Left alone, Xi He gazed at the empty Heavenly Court and thought of her nine children. She could no longer hold back her despair.

"Hou Yi! You killed my nine children, I will make you suffer for the rest of your life!"

Having made her decision, Xi He transformed into a beautiful woman and rushed towards the tribe where Hou Yi resided.

Upon arriving at Hou Yi's tribe, Xi He took on the alias Chang'e.

Through deliberate and seemingly accidental encounters, Hou Yi fell deeply in love with Chang'e.

After a period of tender affection between the two, Xi He, disguised as an immortal maiden, bestowed a spiritual medicine upon Hou Yi.

Xi He pretended to consume it, then feigned being forced to ascend to the Moon Palace.

Hou Yi followed her, transforming into Wu Gang.

One must truly never offend a woman.

Meanwhile, Di Jun, preparing for the great war with the Witch Race, had no idea he was already wearing a very large green hat.
