To that end, Di Jun and Tai Yi had no choice but to emulate the Three Clans—establishing a race to gather Luck!
When the Demon Court became the strongest force in the Primordial World and the Demon Race ruled as overlords of heaven and earth, they would be steeped in boundless Luck, and thus the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin would be within reach.
Nuwa and Fuxi ranked high among the Innate Divine Beings, making them natural targets for Di Jun and Tai Yi's recruitment.
Yet though Nuwa and Fuxi understood Di Jun and Tai Yi's motives, they did not truly agree with the path of establishing a race to gather Luck.
If that path were viable, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans would never have fallen!
Thus, despite Di Jun and Tai Yi's repeated invitations and many promises, Nuwa and Fuxi never agreed to join the Demon Court.
Now these two brothers were visiting again—likely still unwilling to give up!
Nuwa felt a surge of distaste, not because Di Jun and Tai Yi had repeatedly invited them to the Heavenly Court.
Rather, it was the way Eastern Emperor Tai Yi looked at her every time—it made her deeply uncomfortable!
Outside another cave dwelling, a long-haired man flickered into existence, standing in the void. He frowned slightly as he gazed at Di Jun and Tai Yi beyond the Spirit Array.
This long-haired man was none other than Nuwa's elder brother, Fuxi.
Nuwa's form shifted faintly, and in an instant, she appeared beside Fuxi.
The siblings exchanged a glance. Fuxi shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's still meet them."
Though Fuxi had no desire to join the Demon Court, a guest was a guest, and he had no intention of offending these two sovereigns of the Demon Race.
As he spoke, Fuxi opened the Innate Spirit Array.
Before long, Di Jun and Tai Yi, both clad in golden robes, entered the array.
Fuxi walked toward them and said cheerfully, "Greetings to you both, fellow Daoists!"
"Greetings, fellow Daoist Fuxi!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi returned the courtesy, then addressed Nuwa: "Greetings, fellow Daoist Nuwa!"
"Greetings to you both, fellow Daoists!" Nuwa replied coolly.
Afterward, Fuxi led Di Jun and Tai Yi into a pavilion, where they all took their seats.
No sooner had they sat down than Eastern Emperor Tai Yi turned his gaze to Nuwa and said, "It has been many years, fellow Daoist Nuwa. Your bearing remains as radiant as ever—Tai Yi has long admired it!"
"You flatter me, Eastern Emperor," Nuwa replied flatly.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was about to speak further, but Di Jun beside him exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa—have you broken through?"
"Hm? Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal!" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was momentarily stunned, then gasped in astonishment.
Hearing this, Fuxi immediately looked at Nuwa. He hadn't noticed before, but upon closer inspection, he sensed the fluctuations of the Dao Law emanating from her.
"Little sister, have you condensed the Grand Unity Dao Fruit?" Fuxi asked, overjoyed.
Nuwa didn't hide it. She nodded and said, "Yes, I was fortunate enough to break through to the Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal realm not long ago."
"Haha, good! Excellent!"
Fuxi laughed heartily, repeatedly praising her, genuinely delighted by Nuwa's advancement.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist Nuwa, on reaching another level. The Golden Immortal of the Origin is now within your grasp!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi also offered their congratulations in turn.
Then the two brothers exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, their resolve to recruit this pair of siblings growing ever stronger.
Among the two of them, only Tai Yi was a Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal; Di Jun was still merely a late-stage Great Principle Golden Immortal.
If Nuwa, a Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal, joined the Demon Court, along with Fuxi at the late stage, the Demon Court's strength would surge immensely!
This would be nothing but beneficial for commanding the Demon Race!
Fuxi did not dwell on cultivation matters with Nuwa, given the presence of outsiders.
So he steered the conversation back to the main topic: "May I ask what brings you two fellow Daoists here today?"
Di Jun stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "To be honest with you both, the Witch Race has grown powerful and cruelly slaughters countless members of my Demon Race. But the Twelve Ancestral Witches are many and strong, all at the Great Principle Golden Immortal realm—we cannot prevail! We humbly request that you two join the Demon Court and lend us your strength!"
Hearing this, Fuxi was about to refuse as usual.
But Di Jun gave him no chance to speak. He looked at Nuwa and said gravely, "If you two are willing to join the Demon Court, the Demon Race will honor fellow Daoist Nuwa as Empress Wa, sharing rule over the Demon Court with us brothers, and granting you a third of the Demon Race's Luck!"
At these words, Fuxi's expression shifted slightly—this was no small offer!
The position of Demon Sovereign was trivial, but a third of the Demon Race's Luck was anything but ordinary!
Even Fuxi, let alone Nuwa, was moved by this.
Though Nuwa believed the path of attaining the Dao through Luck was uncertain, she could not deny its immense power.
After all, the three progenitors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin had indeed reached the Golden Immortal of the Origin realm through their respective Clan Destinies, and had even touched the threshold of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.
Just then, Di Jun spoke again: "I am willing to swear a Great Dao Oath—if I break it, may the Great Dao devour me and bring my death!"
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Di Jun and Tai Yi looked at Nuwa expectantly.
Fuxi opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. His meaning was clear—everything rested on Nuwa's decision.
Yet, in the end, Nuwa chose to refuse. She said, "I apologize, two Demon Sovereigns. My brother and I have no intention of joining the Demon Court. Please forgive us!"
With those words, Nuwa's figure vanished from the spot...

The Demon Court's throne, three-tenths of the Demon Race's Luck!
Such generous terms, yet they were still rejected without hesitation!
What's more, Nuwa didn't even give Di Jun a chance to press further, choosing to leave outright.
For a moment, Di Jun couldn't hide his awkwardness, a flicker of anger rising within him.
Fortunately, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's timely telepathic reminder kept Di Jun from showing it.
How could Fuxi not see through their thoughts? He gave Di Jun and Tai Yi a slight bow and sighed, "I am grateful for the esteem of you two Demon Emperors, but it's simply that my sister and I are unwilling to be overly entangled with the outside world. I beg your understanding!"
"Haha, Daoist Fuxi, what are you saying? I was too insistent. Later, please convey my apologies to Daoist Nuwa on my behalf."
Di Jun feigned nonchalance and added, "If Daoist Nuwa changes her mind, she is welcome to find me at the Demon Court anytime. The promises I just made still stand!"
Fuxi nodded with a smile, "I will surely pass that on to my younger sister!"
"In that case, we won't trouble you further." Di Jun said with a forced smile.
Fuxi opened the Innate Spirit Array and gestured, "Demon Emperors, as you wish!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi gave him a slight nod, then transformed into streaks of light, leaving the Innate Spirit Array together.
After exiting the array, the two brothers swiftly tore through the void, traveling millions of miles before stopping.
Di Jun's face darkened, anger flashing in his eyes.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi quickly urged, "Elder brother, Nuwa..."
"I know you have feelings for Nuwa!"
Di Jun cut off Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, his voice cold, "But can't you see her attitude today?"
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was silent for a moment before saying, "Elder brother, there's no need to be angry over this. We are all Innate Divine Beings—who among us isn't proud? Even Daoist Kunpeng deals with us insincerely, let alone Nuwa, who has already advanced to Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal."
Hearing this, Di Jun's expression softened a bit.
After a moment's thought, Di Jun said, "It is strange, though. Last time I saw Nuwa, she had just entered Late Stage Great Principle Golden Immortal. Not many years have passed, yet she has surpassed me to reach Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal. Truly odd."
"The Primordial World is full of countless opportunities. Perhaps she obtained some kind of fortune," Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said.
Di Jun shook his head, a hint of envy in his heart, and sighed, "Let's go back."
With that, the two vanished from the spot and returned to the Demon Court.
Inside the Innate Spirit Array at Buzhou Mountain, after seeing off Di Jun and Tai Yi, Fuxi returned to his seat, and the sound of a zither rose softly.
Nuwa's figure also reappeared within the pavilion.
"Elder brother, do you blame me?" Nuwa asked softly.
Fuxi silenced the zither with a press of his hand and said with a smile, "A race's Luck may be good, but it's hot to the touch. Your refusal was not without reason!"
Nuwa nodded, "Mm. In my view, the constant chaos between the Witch and Demon Races may herald a great calamity, much like the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. If we rashly involve ourselves, we'll inevitably be entangled in countless karmic disasters, which would harm our cultivation!"
"You're right, little sister."
Fuxi nodded in deep agreement, "The Heavenly Mechanism grows more chaotic by the day—a great calamity is indeed approaching!"
At this point, Fuxi couldn't help but ask expectantly, "By the way, little sister, now that you've condensed the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, would you care to discuss the Dao with me?"
"Of course!" Nuwa said with a radiant smile.
Ever since they had taken form, the siblings had always supported each other, and Nuwa would never hoard her insights.
So, the two sat facing each other and began their Dao discussion.
However, Nuwa only spoke of her understanding of the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, making no mention of the Myriad Worlds Simulator.
It wasn't that Nuwa was deliberately hiding it—she simply hadn't yet figured out what the Myriad Worlds Simulator truly was.
If the opportunity arose, she wouldn't mind sharing this fortune with Fuxi.
Of course, what Nuwa didn't know was that this very fortune had already appeared before Fuxi.
