The Prehistoric World Heavenly Court.
Wearing a golden robe and holding the lotus seeds given to him by the Two Western Saints, Lu Song arrived at the Thirty-three Heavens.
"I never imagined that Tai Yi would be possessed by Outer-Heaven Demon. No wonder he is so weak and incompetent."
Lu Song murmured softly.
In the original owner's memories, Tai Yi, as the Heavenly Emperor, had an ambiguous attitude towards the Witch Clan and the Human Race. He even asked the Demon Saint to manage his own race and avoid conflicts with the Witch Clan and Human Clan.
In Lu Song's view, this was undoubtedly a sign of weakness.
It's just unknown when Tai Yi was possessed by the Outer-Heaven Demon.
Regardless, Lu Song believed that once the Demon Saint learned that Tai Yi Outer-Heaven Demon, they would definitely stand by his side.
He, Lu Song, will purge the court of corrupt officials today!
"Host, I suggest you reconsider..." the Demon Emperor System reminded him.
After being Jieyin and Zhunti to the heavens by Jieyin and Zhunti, Lu Song had no time to think about such things.
He, Lu Song, is the One Who Escaped the Great Dao!
Today, he will seize that sliver of life for all living beings in the Prehistoric World!
Once he becomes the Heavenly Emperor, he'll first deal with that incompetent Tongtian, then take care of those two old guys, Yuanshi Laozi.
Finally, he married the San Xiao as his empress, destroyed the Witch Clan, and reached the pinnacle of demonic life!
After finishing his fantasy, Lu Song felt confident and headed straight for the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The two patrolling Taiyi Realm demon generals on the Thirty-three Heavens, upon seeing that the visitor was Lu Song, remained silent and did not obstruct him.
However, Lu Song was not happy about it.
"Hmm, why don't you bow to me, the This Crown Prince?!"
Lu Song glared at the two demon generals, revealing his Early Quasi-Saint cultivation, and immediately made them kneel on the ground.
"Greetings, Crown Prince Lu Song!"
The two demon generals were filled with trepidation.
Lu Song is usually friendly and would never use his power to intimidate others, so why is he emphasizing so-called etiquette today?
Even so, the demon general dared not question Lu Song.
Lu Song was smug. When he became the Heavenly Emperor, he would make all the Great Power in the Prehistoric World bow to him in this way.
Ignoring the two demon generals, Lu Song strode straight towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Fairy Maiden warriors along the way, seeing Lu Song's stern expression and swift steps, as if carrying an invisible pressure behind him, dared not stop him and retreated in all directions.
Lu Song sneered inwardly.
Look, the entire Heavenly Court has Tai Yi.
Yet, they still felt an instinctive fear of him, the "true" chosen one.
The Lingxiao Treasure Hall stands majestically high, surrounded by auspicious clouds and countless streams of Auspicious Qi.
The palace doors were not completely closed, and faint sounds of discussions could be heard coming from inside.
Lu Song paused briefly outside the palace gate, a resolute glint in his eyes, before abruptly pushing the gate open!
"Father! Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"
The loud voice instantly shattered the atmosphere of the meeting in the hall.
Inside the hall, the Heavenly Emperor Tai Yi sat high on his throne, with Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and other Demon Saint arranged below him.
Fuxi, Xuan Qing, Qing Li, and Qin Yuan were also prominently listed, though in rather aloof positions.
Kunpeng stood a little further away, head bowed and eyes downcast, seemingly indifferent to everything.
At that moment, all eyes turned to Lu Song, who had suddenly barged in.
Tai Yi frowned slightly as he looked at his son.
Lu Song seemed unusually... excited today?
A light, unfamiliar to him, burned in his eyes.
That light was mixed with ambition, anger, and an arrogant sense of control.
"Song'er, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Why didn't you wait to inform them?"
Tai Yi's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.
Lu Song stood tall and proud, his gaze sweeping over the Demon Saint in the hall, lingering especially on the faces of Fuxi, Xuan Qing, and Qing Li for a moment, as if confirming their "allies".
He took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Your Majesty! I have come here to uncover a shocking conspiracy, and more importantly, to save my Demon Clan from dire straits and turn the tide!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately froze.
The various Demon Saint displayed a variety of expressions: some were puzzled, some were surprised, and some, like Bai Ze, had deeply furrowed brows, lost in thought.
"Oh? What kind of conspiracy could threaten the very foundation of my Demon Clan?"
Tai Yi leaned forward slightly, seemingly intrigued.
Seeing that Tai Yi was fully immersed in the role, Lu Song felt reassured and even more convinced that his father had been controlled by the demon and was only pretending.
He stepped forward a few paces until he reached the foot of the steps, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Tai Yi on the throne.
His voice suddenly rose, filled with grief, indignation, and resolve:
"Because the source of this conspiracy is you, Father Emperor—or rather, the Outer World Demons that has possessed your body!"
The Great Hall was deathly silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
All the Demon Saint, including Fuxi, Xuan Qing, Qing Li, showed expressions of disbelief.
Accusing the Heavenly Emperor of being Outer World Demons?
Wow, you're really filial!
Tai Yi's expression froze instantly, his eyes becoming extremely complicated.
There was surprise, there was scrutiny, and deeper still, there seemed to be a flicker of... indescribable weariness and disappointment?
"Presumptuous!"
Bai Ze was the first to react and rebuked him sternly.
" Lu Song! What nonsense are you spouting! His Majesty is the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan, the Lord of the Solar Star, how dare you slander him like this!"
Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and other Demon Saint also glared angrily, their auras surging.
If Lu Song hadn't been the Golden Crow Prince, he would probably have been captured on the spot by now.
Lu Song showed no fear. He turned sharply to face the Demon Saint, his voice ringing out:
"Gentlemen! Please hear me out!"
"Since the Second Witch-Demon War, Father's behavior has become increasingly eccentric!"
"They have repeatedly shown leniency towards the Witch Clan, been indecisive in many decisions, and even secretly restrained my Demon Clan's sons, preventing them from easily clashing with the Witch Clan or the Human Race!"
"Such behavior is not befitting of a powerful ruler of my Demon Clan! Nor is it befitting of the Yang Spirit, who established an unparalleled dynasty!"
His words struck a chord with some of the Demon Saint ' hidden worries.
Some of Tai Yi's decisions in recent years have indeed confused and even displeased them.
"That's one of them!"
Lu Song seized the opportunity and took out the golden lotus given to him by the Jieyin from his bosom, holding it in his palm.
The golden lotus emitted a soft and pure golden light of merit, illuminating a corner of the Great Hall and temporarily suppressing some of the hostility.
"This was given by the Western Saint Jieyin; it can illuminate the True Spirit and ward off demonic obstacles!"
"The Sage is merciful and has long seen through this lurking demon! He has bestowed this treasure upon us to help our Demon Clan restore order!"
Western saints?
The Demon Saint exchanged glances, their reputations... not so good.
However, with the sage's decree and the golden lotus as witness, they could not help but completely disbelieve it.
Lu Song raised the golden lotus high, aimed it at Tai Yi on the throne, and said sternly:
"Demon! Show your true form! Do you really think my Demon Clan is without anyone to control the Heavenly Emperor and wreak havoc on the Heavenly Court?!"
The golden lotus shone brightly, and rays of golden light swept towards Tai Yi like ripples.
