Wish Fulfilled
Boom!
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in my heart.
Turn out to be.
So that's what Taiyuanzi was planning.
The true intentions are revealed when the map is unrolled; this gives us a glimpse of the truth.
'The Origin Divine Position, the authority of the Heavenly Court's Authority of Water Element.'
In the Archaic Era, the Ancestor Dragon ascended to the position of the Water Element Black Emperor.
Throughout the Universe and Heavens, no one can rival him in the Dao of Water Essence.
The Primordial Heavenly Court ruled over the Primordial World, and the Primordial Human Emperor, the Jiu Tou Shi Clan, was the master of the world and its people. Naturally, he would not allow the Water Essence to become unbalanced and for one family to become the dominant one.
Therefore, the power of the Primordial Heavenly Court was used to cultivate an Innate Water God to govern the Water Essence of the Heavenly Court, and to give birth to a supreme Water Element Supreme Position.
This is the position of [Lower Yuan Third Rank Five Qi Dispelling Calamity Water Official Jin Ling Cave Yanggu Emperor Lord].
This position is one of the most prestigious positions in the Water Essence Dao, second only to the position of the Water Element Black Emperor.
Later, the Primordial Heavenly Court collapsed, and the first Water Official Great Emperor was also killed by the Ancestor Dragon in the Milky Way.
However, the Origin Divine Duty [Lower Yuan Third Rank Five Qi Dispelling Calamity Water Official Jin Ling Cave Yanggu Emperor Lord], which was cultivated from the original source of the Primordial Heavenly Court, has survived due to various factors.
Later, when Di Jun rebuilt the Heavenly Court and opened the Thirty-three Heavenly Palaces, he obtained it.
This incomplete Origin Divine Position is still incomplete even compared to its heyday.
But the Origin Divine Duty is the Origin Divine Duty.
'That was conceived by the Heavenly Dao and generated by the Great Dao Laws.'
It is not something that can be decided by the word of the Heavenly Emperor.
This Origin Divine Position was bestowed upon Taiyuanzi.
This is tantamount to truly handing over the Authority of Water Element.
'Rivers, Lakes, and Seas, rain, and the Milky Way controlled by the Star God Lineage.'
'This constitutes most of the Authority of Water Element in the Primordial World today.'
Not to mention the other scattered places, such as the Blood Sea.
' Taiyuanzi already holds the Authority of Water Elements of the rivers and lakes on the Primordial Continent; now he also controls the Authority of Water Element in the celestial realm, in charge of controlling clouds and rain.'
'If he wants to ascend to the position of the Water Element Black Emperor, all he needs to do is seize the Authority of Water Element and the Authority of the Heavenly River of the Star God Lineage.'
A sense of vigilance and urgency suddenly rose in Di Jun's heart.
His aura became explosive and dangerous.
It shines brightly like the sun, majestically reigning supreme over Myriad Heavens and Universes.
His voice was sharp and cold:
"The Water God has truly set his sights on this primordial Origin Divine Position."
"This Origin Divine Position is flawed. Although it was a superior position in its prime, it is probably not even comparable to the position of the Cave Abyss Heavenly Venerable now."
"Water God, are you really not going to reconsider?!"
The Heavenly River Water God immediately and righteously refused:
"This humble deity's mission to meet with Doumu in the starry sky is for the sake of the Heavenly Court and His Majesty."
"It's not for personal gain."
"This is an Origin Divine Position of high status, and belongs to the Primordial Heavenly Court. It is perfectly appropriate for him to use this identity to meet with the Doumu Niangniang."
"We beg Your Majesty to grant us a divine position!"
What a joke! Zhou Yuan has been plotting to Authority of Water Element in the Heavenly Realm for a long time.
It's just one step away from being a sure thing.
After today, we've truly broken ties with Di Jun, and we might have to fight again someday.
If we don't seize the Authority of Water Element now, when will we ever get another chance?
The Heavenly River Water God lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze deep and cold.
He was betting that Di Jun and the Demon Clan Heavenly Court were unwilling to actually go to war with the Star God Lineage at this moment.
It should be noted that, apart from Doumu Niangniang, who had already attained the status of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, the Star God Lineage has no other Dao Mother.
But there is also a newly Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, the Zi Wei Star Lord.
Moreover, among Doumu's nine sons, Ziwei is second, Gouchen is first.
'How can we be sure this one isn't Primordial Origin Golden Immortal?'
With the Witch Clan and Purple Mansion Continent eyeing them covetously, do the Demon Clan still have the courage to make more enemies?
Di Jun remained silent.
Just as Zhou Yuan had thought.
If it weren't for this defeat in the Purple Mansion Continent, Di Jun might have actually dared to gather the Demon Clan race and completely take over the Zhou Tian Starry Sky.
Make the Star God Lineage, and let the starry sky become the backyard of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
Even amidst such warfare.
Countless Demon Clan lineages will suffer heavy losses.
Countless Demon Clan will perish in the starry sky.
But it was all worth it.
To truly control the celestial realm, one must truly control the starry sky.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
As the Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun always understood this principle.
Unfortunately, the Demon Clan suffered a defeat in the battle of the Purple Mansion Continent, ending in a dismal failure and losing all its prestige.
'I originally intended to use the [Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation] to force the various Dao lineages of the Demon Clan to express their stance, and to compel the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage to join me in attacking the starry sky.'
But the water god came.
'He's come with a plan.'
'If a fragmented Origin Divine Position could be exchanged for the completion of the [Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation]...'
'Why would the various lineages of the Demon Clan race, including the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage, want to wage war against the Star God Lineage in the starry sky?'
Di Jun surveyed the Ling Xiao Palace, noticing that the many holy figures of the Demon Clan remained calm and unchanging.
A chill ran through me.
He knew that the aftereffects of using the [Myriad Demon Banner] to restrain the demons were still coming.
Certainly, he could force all the lineages of the Demon Clan to obey the will of Heaven and jointly attack the starry sky.
But if we actually did that...
'My virtue as the Heavenly Emperor is likely to be criticized.'
'Our Demon Clan is truly on the verge of falling out.'
Just as Di Jun hesitated...
A faint voice resounded in his mind.
It was Bai Ze.
"His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I understand your concerns."
"But let's not even talk about how far that one is from attaining the position of the Water Element Black Emperor."
"So what if we really seize the Authority of Water Element?"
"The Milky Way is of paramount importance to the Star God Lineage. The movements of the sun and moon seem to originate from within it, and the brilliance of the starry sky seems to emanate from within it."
"How could Daoist Mother Yuan Jun entrust such a vital point to this Heavenly Venerable?"
At this point, Bai Ze paused, then continued:
"Currently, the Authority of Water Element is controlled by the Dragon Clan and the Purple Mansion Continent."
"With the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] present, I truly cannot fathom how this man from Wuyi Mountain could possibly persuade Purple Mansion Continent to hand over the Four Water Essence?"
The Four Seas are the private domain of the Daoist court of the Purple Mansion Continent.
Unless the East King Duke has lost his mind, he certainly wouldn't hand over the Authority of Water Element to Wuyi Mountain.
"When our Demon Clan race defeats the Dao Court..."
"The Authority of Water Element naturally belongs to our Demon Clan Heavenly Court."
"Without the Four Water Essence, it will be extremely difficult for this Celestial Venerable to attain the Water Element Black Emperor!"
Hearing Bai Ze's advice...
Although Di Jun still had a vague feeling of unease, he remained uneasy.
Objectively speaking, it's still a long way off for Taiyuanzi to attain the Black Emperor's Position.
Even if he were given this Origin Divine Position, what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?
"Fine!"
"Since you have such aspirations..."
"I will naturally cooperate fully."
After saying that, Di Jun waved his hand, and a Divine Dao Talisman shimmering with Water Essence energy appeared in the Grand Void, then directly merged into the body of the Heavenly River Water God.
Di Jun wasn't worried that Zhou Yuan would take the benefits and then not do anything.
If that's really the case, then we can use this opportunity to send troops to Wuyi Mountain.
In this way, even the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate couldn't say anything.
A pale blue light enveloped the Heavenly River Water God, causing the Water Element Laws to surge and churn. Profound and mysterious inscriptions emerged, intertwining and shimmering, forming the Great Dao of Water, one of the cornerstones of the Primordial World universe.
It seemed as if millions of divine beings were chanting scriptures and offering devout praise.
"With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in the Yanggu Cave Yuan Qingling Palace. It is ruled by the forty-two departments, along with ninety million beings, who govern the affairs of the River Emperor and all spirits. May the living and the dead find peace, and may their power be boundless. With great compassion and vows, with great holiness and mercy, I offer my praise to the Water Official of the Lower Yuan Five Qi, the Jin Ling Cave Yin Emperor Yanggu Emperor Lord!"
Amidst the dazzling divine light, the Heavenly River Water God —no, he should be called the Water Official Great Emperor— was dressed in a magnificent sky-blue robe, wearing an imperial crown, and holding Ruyi. His eyes shone brightly with boundless joy.
The air emanating from the wind and the essence of the morning light mingled as the words were spoken.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Di Jun waved his hand; he didn't want to see this fellow for the time being.
"Now everything is ready."
"I will wait here for Your Majesty's good news."
The Water Official Great Emperor didn't care about his attitude, and simply cupped his hands in greeting.
"Your Majesty, please remain seated."
"Let's see what I can do."
Having said that, he transformed into a sky full of water light and vanished into the Grand Void.
