Qing Huan continued to elaborate on his concept:
"The establishment of the Heavenly Court will not only provide the demon race with a legitimate ruling position, but also allow them to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to gather the Primordial Wilderness Luck and pave a more open path to enlightenment for all the demon race members."
"As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, Fellow Di Jun can naturally use the power of the Heavenly Court to cultivate good relationships and accumulate Merit, laying a solid foundation for his future attainment of Saint Position."
Di Jun's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He exchanged a glance with Tai Yi, and both saw excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.
"Qing Huan Daoist Qinghuan's words are exactly what I was thinking!"
He laughed loudly, all the doubts that had been weighing on his mind vanishing. "This arrangement not only demonstrates the might of our demon race but also avoids direct conflict with the East Prince. It is truly an excellent strategy."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, deeply admiring Qing Huan's wisdom and foresight.
However, Di Jun and all the demons in the hall were taken aback, their brows furrowed with unresolved doubt.
The establishment of the demon race was an act to consolidate the clan's Luck, but what exactly is this "Heavenly Court"? Inside the magnificent palace of the Sun Palace, one could hear a pin drop.
"Fellow Daoist Qing Huan"
Di Jun suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart and looked intently at the Daoist with an extraordinary demeanor.
"What, in essence, is the Heavenly Court responsible for?"
Qing Huan Daoist flicked his sleeves, his Daoist aura flowing, and a profound smile appeared on his face, as if he had already foreseen everyone's reaction.
"The Heavenly Court's responsibility is to act on behalf of Heavenly Dao, govern all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, regulate the earth's spiritual energy, control the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and establish order and norms."
The sound was not loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power, echoing among the beams and pillars of the palace.
"This power currently rests with that East Prince Duke. However, this good-for-nothing has failed to do what was mentioned above."
If the East Prince had done all that, perhaps none of the subsequent events in the Primordial Wilderness world would have occurred. It was the East Prince who failed to seize that Thread of Life; he has no one to blame but himself...
Then, changing the subject, he glanced at Di Jun and Tai Yi, "When we return from Penglai Immortal Island, it will be time for the demon race to establish Heavenly Court and rightfully claim their place."
"As long as the East Prince's Immortal Court collapses, it will be perfectly natural and legitimate for our Heavenly Court to govern the people on behalf of Heaven!"
It only touched upon the subject briefly, without detailing the specific duties of the Heavenly Court —a grand undertaking that the future Heavenly Di Jun would need to painstakingly build.
Tai Yi's eyes seemed to blaze with golden divine flames, radiating a sharp and vigorous aura.
Di Jun's aura of imperial dominance surged uncontrollably, his imposing presence rising sharply, as if he could already see the supreme authority that ruled over the heavens and the Primordial Wilderness world, and his entire being exuded a sharp brilliance that looked down upon the universe.
The great demons under his command, including Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Ji Meng Ying Zhao, and other Primordial Great Powers, all had excited flushes on their faces and burning longing in their eyes—this was the ultimate path they followed in the footsteps of the Sun Palace Master!
To rule over the Primordial Wilderness world and act on behalf of Heaven—how magnificent and awe-inspiring!
Before the turbulent emotions within the hall had subsided, a gentle yet powerful aura of Creation quietly permeated the air. Accompanied by the clear and melodious sound of jade pendants, the peerless Nuwa gracefully stepped into the Solar Divine Palace.
She was surrounded by the profound aura of Hongmeng Purple Qi, but a hint of weariness and confusion was hidden between her brows. She had been comprehending the foundation of the Great Dao for many years, and although she had made some progress, she was still just one step away from the invisible barrier of the Mid-Quasi-Saint, and her state of mind was inevitably not yet perfect.
"Brother."
Nuwa nodded to her long-lived brother Fuxi, whose face was filled with heartfelt joy—her sister was destined to become a saint, and she would surely have a place as the supreme ruler of the Primordial Wilderness world in the future. Then, her gaze swept over Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the demons in the hall, and she greeted them one by one with grace and poise.
"I see that all of you fellow Daoists are overjoyed. I wonder what extraordinary opportunity you have received? Could you tell me about it?"
Di Jun laughed loudly, his aura of imperial majesty radiating from him:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa has been in seclusion for many days and has naturally missed this grand event."
Fellow Qing Huan has joined our demon race, and with his supreme wisdom, he has deduced the Great Dao of the Innate Eight Trigrams, revealing the mysteries of Universe!
This time, we are planning an eternal foundation for our race—to establish Heavenly Court and unify the Primordial Wilderness!
"When I ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, East Prince's Immortal Court is overthrown, that will be the day the Heavenly Court takes control of the Universe Primordial Wilderness!"
As he spoke, Di Jun seemed to stand high in the Above the Nine Heavens, his majesty unapproachable.
Nuwa was slightly surprised. Her beautiful eyes, which seemed to contain the Creation of heaven and earth, couldn't help but gaze deeply at Qing Huan Daoist, who stood quietly to the side.
Since the Transformation of Heaven-Opening, this Daoist has lived a solitary life, mysterious and unpredictable like the drifting clouds in the sky.
Now he's actually joining the demon race, offering this extraordinary scheme that will shake the very foundations of the Primordial Wilderness world?
Yet a nameless unease, like a tiny icicle, silently pierced the depths of her vast Dao heart, bringing a subtle, almost imperceptible pain.
She forcefully suppressed this inexplicable flutter in her heart, her smile remaining gentle and serene.
"With the assistance of Fellow Qing Huan, our demon race has a promising future on the Great Dao. This is truly a momentous occasion in the Primordial Wilderness, a cause for celebration!"
Qing Huan's gaze was deep, seemingly able to see through the myriad aspects of human nature, and he responded calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you flatter me Demon Race Fortune is like a dragon soaring from the abyss, its rise is unstoppable. I am merely offering my meager strength and guidance at a crucial juncture in the river of destiny."
The implication was crystal clear: with the general trend already in place, one's own role is merely to go with the flow; if one can change the Witch and Demon Races, all the better; if not, then one should plan for one's own benefit.
To Nuwa, this only deepened the hidden pain in her heart.
In the Great Dao, even a sliver of hope must be fought for with Thread of Life. What chilling calculations lie behind this "following the trend"?
"Good!"
Tai Yi suddenly stood up, the illusory image of the Chaos Bell faintly swirling around him, emitting a low hum. A sharp smile, revealing the fiery nature of the Golden Crow, curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Now that all of you fellow Daoists have gathered, and the opportunity has arrived, why not hurry and make a trip to Penglai Immortal Island?"
"I want to see if that East Prince's thin ice in the Immortal Court can withstand the wrath of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, which will burn mountains and boil seas!"
A sly glint and anticipation flashed in Tai Yi.
"The messenger wind I sent to Buzhou Mountain must have already delivered the words 'The Immortal Court intends to replace the Witch Clan in Authority of the Great Earth' to those twelve brutes. Given their explosive tempers, hehe..." The unfinished words were filled with murderous intent.
The crowd understood each other implicitly, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit and ambition.
Di Jun's gaze swept across the entire hall, his imposing presence unmatched. "My lords, follow me!"
Let's go and see the magnificent scenery of Penglai, and even more so, let's go and see... the first step taken by our demon race's Heavenly Court!
As soon as the words fell, divine light shone brightly within the Solar Divine Palace. Di Jun, Tai Yi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Qing Huan, and a host of demon race giants surged with Magic Power, transforming into more than a dozen dazzling streams of light that tore through the void. They carried a world-changing momentum and headed straight towards the direction of Penglai Immortal Island on the shore of the Eastern Sea!
