Just as Nuwa was about to speak, she sensed Chen Tian's aura and looked toward that place.

Di Jun and Taiyi, who was negotiating with Fuxi, noticed it as well.

"Hello, Sister Nuwa. This junior, Tian Chen, has disturbed you." Chen Tian walked into Nuwa and Fuxi's cultivation ground with a grin, followed by Baili Shouyue and Jiawen.

"Tian Chen, who are these two?" Nuwa asked in confusion as she looked at Baili Shouyue and Jiawen. Jiawen was fine; he was actually an Innate Dao Body, but not an Innate Deity. He seemed to be a postnatal lifeform. However, the Law of Earth swirling around his body shocked all four of them.

As for Baili Shouyue, he seemed like an aberration! Because Baili Shouyue was human, yet not human! His eyes were blood-red, he had ears resembling rabbit ears, and a tail like a fox's behind him. However, the lifeforms of the Prehistoric World were strange and varied, so the four of them said nothing.

"Oh, these two are subordinates under me. This is Shouyue, and this is Jiawen." Tian Chen explained with a chuckle.

"Oh, isn't this the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Demon Sovereign Taiyi, who just founded the Demon Court? Why aren't the two of you guarding the South Heaven Gate? What are you doing here?" Chen Tian said with a chuckle as he looked at Di Jun and Taiyi.

Di Jun and Taiyi both frowned slightly. Guarding the South Heaven Gate? What? Did he take the two of them for watchdogs? Seriously, why did everything this bastard said sound so damn irritating? Taiyi in particular thought, I really want to smash him to death with the Eastern Bell!

"Little friend Tian Chen, you jest. The South Heaven Gate naturally has members of the Demon Race guarding it. We only need to preside over the Hall of Lingxiao. May I ask why little friend Tian Chen has come to Mount Buzhou?" Di Jun's face returned to a smile as he spoke.

"Oh~ I sensed that there was an opportunity waiting for me in Mount Buzhou, so I came to claim it. As it happened, I wasn't far from Mount Buzhou." Chen Tian smiled. Demon Emperor? Heh. We'll become enemies in the end anyway. And those three old fools will become Saints. What do I have to fear?

"Oh?" Di Jun was stunned. In the Prehistoric World, there was an unwritten rule regarding opportunities: they were predestined. However, if the person died and their Dao vanished, the opportunity could naturally be seized. Alternatively, if one was stronger than that person, one could seize it as well!

But Di Jun did not dare attack Chen Tian. Chen Tian had three Quasi-Saints behind him, and had even gained Dao Ancestor Hongjun's favor before this!

"Since that's the case, little friend Tian Chen should go and seek that opportunity." Di Jun smiled.

"No rush, no rush. No one can take what belongs to me. If it doesn't belong to me, I wouldn't find it even if I turned the entire Prehistoric World upside down." Chen Tian smiled as well.

"Could it be that this opportunity doesn't belong to little friend Tian Chen alone?"

"Of course it belongs to me alone."

"Oh? I still think that since it belongs to little friend Tian Chen, you should hurry and seek it."

"No rush, no rush. Since I've come to Sister Nuwa's cultivation ground, asking for a cup of water isn't too much, is it?"

The three of them watched as Chen Tian and Di Jun cheerfully chatted away like old friends of tens of thousands of years, all wearing bewildered expressions. When did the two of you become so close?

However, the three of them soon understood why the two were acting this way.

Di Jun had come here solely to persuade Fuxi and Nuwa to join the Demon Court. Nuwa had originally been on the verge of agreeing, but then Chen Tian had appeared out of nowhere. Who could have expected that? That was why Di Jun wanted Chen Tian to leave as soon as possible. Back in the Purple Firmament Palace, the shameless duo from the West had been toyed with by Tian Chen!

Di Jun did not want to lose face in front of the two future Demon Sovereigns.

And Chen Tian?

He was naturally here to stop Nuwa from joining the Demon Court. After all, if Nuwa joined the Demon Court, she would tacitly approve of the Human Tribulation later on!

But what if she did not join? This was the foundation for Nuwa becoming a Saint. Nuwa would definitely protect humanity with all her strength!

Although the Human Tribulation was Heaven's Mandate, if a Saint wanted to protect humanity, more humans would still survive!

Therefore, for the sake of allowing more humans to survive in the future, Chen Tian definitely could not let Nuwa join the Demon Court!

Of course, the main reason was still the systems!!

That's right. Just now, when he had arrived at the cultivation ground, several systems had issued missions one after another!

Ding—Sign-in System: Please have the host make Nuwa abandon the idea of joining the Demon Court. Reward: "Array Dao Palm Dao" Ding—Salted Fish System: Please have the host make Nuwa abandon the idea of joining the Demon Court. Reward: "Great Accomplishment of the Great Dao of War" Ding—Martial Arts System: Please have the host make Nuwa abandon the idea of joining the Demon Court. Reward: "Immortal Golden Body" (Note: The Immortal Golden Body was upgraded from the Indestructible Divine Skill. If you want an even stronger technique, please continue working hard, host.) Ding—Fishing System: Please have the host make Nuwa abandon the idea of joining the Demon Court. Reward: "Chaos Spiritual Root: One branch of the Hollow Willow"

The other systems had not issued any missions, which surprised Chen Tian somewhat.

"Sister Nuwa, do you have any water? I'm thirsty." As he spoke, Chen Tian looked at Nuwa with a smile.

Nuwa rolled her eyes at him. They were all Innate Deities, so how could he still get thirsty? Nevertheless, she fetched some nectar and liquid formed from condensed spiritual energy, combining them into one. She even added a leaf of Enlightenment Tea!

The Enlightenment Tea was truly a precious thing. Nuwa had once obtained a branch by chance. If she had arrived a few steps later, it might have been taken away by someone else.

"Daoist Nuwa, you..."

"Demon Emperor, Sister Nuwa already said that she doesn't want to join the Demon Court~ Sister Nuwa is an Innate Deity! A deity! Not a demon covered in scales and armor, with wet fur and egg-born offspring~" Chen Tian said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Those words made Taiyi and Di Jun flush red with fury!

That was because the two Nuwa siblings were different from Di Jun and the others! The Nuwa siblings had transformed from a ball of light, and after transforming, they had always had half-human, half-snake forms. Di Jun and the others, on the other hand, were genuine beings covered in scales and armor, with wet fur and egg-born offspring!

The two Nuwa siblings were similar to the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Primordial Spirits, while the Nuwa siblings came from an extraordinary ball of light, seemingly transformed from the Primordial Spirits of the Creation Demon God and the Zither Dao Demon God. Although they possessed inheritances, the Heavenly Dao had altered them. They were genuine deities of the Prehistoric World!

They were not lifeforms! Remember that!

Deities could be understood as beings transformed from part of a Demon God's essence, while lifeforms were naturally formed from the myriad things in the Prehistoric World. Deities were naturally a generation higher than lifeforms!

"Demon Emperor, I only wish to cultivate in peace and do not enjoy noise. I hope you can forgive me." Nuwa cupped her hands politely.

"Fine, fine, fine!!" Di Jun shouted "fine" three times. Golden flames burned in his eyes as he glared at Chen Tian, after which he left with Taiyi.

"Little friend Tian Chen, you have offended the Demon Emperor this time. This may cause trouble in the future." Fuxi sighed. To be honest, he rather wanted to go, because there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him to go. This could also be called the Heavenly Dao's manipulation.

After all, apart from the Space Demon God, the Three Thousand Demon Gods were either dead or scattered. The only ones who had survived were these three and Hongjun.

According to the original course of events, Fuxi, the Zither Dao Demon God, would ultimately die and become Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, a postnatal lifeform of the Prehistoric World. Nuwa, the Creation Demon God, would also become a Heavenly Dao Saint, controlled by the Heavenly Dao. As for Hongjun? The Heavenly Dao had long since arranged for him to become the first Saint.

That was why, during the Witch-Demon Tribulation, Di Jun and Taiyi died with their Dao destroyed and souls scattered, while Fuxi could reincarnate as a human with his shattered soul.
