The Dagger Revealed, Sword Pointed at the Water Element

Heavenly River Water God:

"Your Majesty, although this [Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation] requires the activation of the power of the All Stars, it does not require the Zhou Tian Star Gods to personally intervene."

Having said that, the water god took out a precious banner that was surrounded by starlight from his sleeve.

"This banner was crafted by me using the laws of the stars, and it is called the Zhou Tian Star Banner."

"By refining 365 Great Zhou Tian Star Banners, 14,800 Medium Banners, and 129,600 Small Zhou Tian Star Banners, and selecting corresponding Demon Clan cultivators with affinity for the stars to wield the banners, the power of the [Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation] can be perfectly unleashed."

They saw that Di Jun and the Demon Clan in the palace had joy on their faces.

The next moment.

The Heavenly River Water God sighed with regret:

"Unfortunately, I am of limited talent and learning. Although I can refine the precious banner, I am unable to inscribe the laws of the Innate Stars on the Zhou Tian Star Banner."

"The Laws Evolve the Primal Authority of the Stars."

"Without the assistance of these laws, it would be difficult to mobilize the Star Authority."

The Zhou Tian Star Gods are born from the Zhou Tian Star Dou and are born with the stellar laws of the corresponding stars and hold the power over the origin of the stars.

Di Jun's joy faltered.

"However, as the Heavenly Court's Water Official, I should naturally help the Heavenly Court resolve its troubles."

"This humble deity is unworthy, but is willing to travel far into the starry sky to visit the Doumu Niangniang and explain the advantages and disadvantages of this place."

"Only..."

At this point, the Heavenly River Water God looked at Di Jun with a hesitant expression.

Di Jun said helplessly:

"The Water Official is a senior and important minister of our Heavenly Court."

"What is it? Please speak freely."

His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor appeared relaxed, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart.

He knew that with Taiyuanzi's incredibly shrewd nature, he wouldn't work for the Heavenly Court for nothing.

The Heavenly River Water God smiled wryly:

"Although I hold a second-rank position in the Heavenly Court and nominally govern the Heavenly Water Essence..."

"However, for the position of the Heavenly River Water God to preside over the Water Department and control the Water Essence of the Heavenly Realm is neither legitimate nor justifiable."

"The Doumu Niangniang is the Mother of All Stars and a powerful figure who has attained the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm."

"For a minor deity like myself to visit her, I'm afraid I'd be banished from the starry sky by her star gods before I even see her true face."

In short, a promotion!

Wild ambition.

Is the sword aimed at Authority of Water Element?!

Di Jun's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Taiyuanzi would take advantage of this opportunity to set his sights on the Authority of Water Element.

What lowly status? What shame in facing Doumu?!

They're all just excuses.

If it weren't for the need to maintain the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor.

Di Jun was so angry he wanted to get up and start cursing.

How could he have dared to travel so far to attend the banquet hosted by the Zi Wei Star Lord when he was still Taiyi?

Today, the true self has already attained the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, and sits in the fourth seat in the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate. How can the clone be ashamed to face Doumu?

Is this reasonable?

The Heavenly River Water God Old God there, completely unperturbed.

This is perfectly reasonable, so how is it unreasonable?

He was merely a weak and pitiful Heavenly River Water God.

He had to stand up for the Heavenly Court and confront Daoist Mother Yuan Jun, an ancient relic who had survived since the Archaic Era.

They need to get a more prestigious divine position to bolster their courage.

Seeing that Di Jun's expression was unpredictable.

The Heavenly River Water God sneered inwardly:

'You, Di Jun, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are something else!'

'Look at you.'

'So you really intend to prevent me from ascending to the position of the Water Element Black Emperor?'

The position of the Water Element Black Emperor is a very sensitive one.

In the ancient times, the Ancestor Dragon held the position of the Water Element Black Emperor and once intended to use this position to rebel against the Heavenly Court of the Gods and seize the position of the Central Heavenly Emperor.

It was not unexpected that Di Jun was wary of him.

The Heavenly River Water God is in charge of the Water Essence of the celestial realm. This divine position was Investiture of the Gods by Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor, through his manipulation of the Heavenly Court's Fortune.

'You will rise to prominence with this.'

'They will surely perish because of this.'

'As the nominal Heavenly Emperor recognized by the Heavenly Dao, Di Jun could grant me the position of Heavenly River Water God with a single word, making me the chief official of the Water Department.'

'Of course, you could also dismiss my position as the Water God with a single word.'

The Heavenly River Water God's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

'If I truly believe that I have relied on the position of the Heavenly River Water God...'

'They have seized control of the Heavenly Court's Authority of Water Element.'

'When I attain enlightenment as the Black Emperor in the future.'

'As long as Di Jun harbors even the slightest thought.'

'It has shaken the position or authority of the water god.'

'Then I'm afraid the matter of attaining enlightenment will be in vain.'

Will Di Jun make things difficult for his family while holding the position of Water Element Black Emperor?

The Heavenly River Water God sighed softly in his heart:

'Whether it's out of fear of the Black Emperor's special position.'

'They'll still use the Heavenly Court's Water Essence as leverage to threaten and coerce me later.'

There's a 99% chance that Di Jun will attack me!

The Heavenly Emperor is a tyrant!

If given the opportunity and the power, he would probably want all the forces and great powers of the entire Primordial World to kneel before the Ling Xiao Palace.

Beings like Zhou Yuan, who, after attaining the Black Emperor's Position, could theoretically threaten his legitimate Heavenly Emperor status, were the ones who made him feel like he had a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

'Pity...'

'Today, I'm afraid I will disappoint Di Jun.'

Seeing the eerily silent Lingxiao Hall of Supreme Harmony, with no one uttering a sound, the Heavenly River Water God sighed deeply:

"His Majesty."

"This humble god possesses only a heart full of fervent zeal to serve our Heavenly Court, even unto death."

"But they lack the corresponding strength to be competent for higher-level divine positions."

"I am truly ashamed."

"Once I have completed my cultivation, I will come to help Your Majesty resolve your difficulties!"

Having said that, the Heavenly River Water God bowed deeply.

Di Jun, you don't want the [Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation] to become just a decoration, do you?

"Hahaha."

"The Water God is a pillar and backbone of our Heavenly Court."

"They have made great contributions to controlling the Water Essence in Heavenly Court over the years."

Fuxi clapped his hands and laughed:

"Your Majesty will reward those who have rendered meritorious service."

"The water god should also be promoted."

After hearing this, Di Jun looked thoughtful.

He nodded slightly.

"If that's the case..."

"Then how about bestowing upon the Water God the title of Celestial Venerable of the Cave Abyss?"

"This is the position of a first-rank Celestial Venerable."

"To take control of the Heavenly Water Essence is perfectly legitimate!"

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly River Water God shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this:

"That's not right, that's not right."

"I have heard that Doumu Niangniang is a being who has been prominent Myriad Heavens and Universes since the Archaic Era."

"Furthermore, he held an important position in the Heavenly Court of the Primordial Divine Race."

"It is truly inappropriate for a priest of the new dynasty to pay homage to the Empress of the old dynasty."

"This is really inappropriate!"

Di Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and gently tapped the chair on the golden throne with his right hand:

"Oh!"

The water god asked, "What deity do you think would be able to pay homage to Doumu without being impolite?"

He had barely finished speaking.

The Ling Xiao Palace suddenly became tense and oppressive.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi played with the [Eastern Emperor Bell] in his hand, and golden crows seemed to roll in his golden pupils. The divine light fell on the Heavenly River Water God as if it were real.

At the same time, Empress Nuwa, Fuxi, Kunpeng, and many other divine beings of the Demon Clan race all looked toward the Heavenly River Water God.

The water god, sensing the gazes around him, remained calm and composed. He said softly:

"I have heard that when His Majesty reopened the Heavenly Realm in the past..."

"Once received a primordial Origin Divine Duty."

"His name is [Lower Yuan Third Rank Five Qi Calamity-Relieving Water Official Jin Ling Cave Yanggu Emperor Lord]."
