Tongtian Planned to Keep His Head Down Until the Investiture of the Gods

Di Jun slowly and methodically roasted the sea fish with the Solar True Fire, his Heavenly Eye twitching.

And Qin Yuan was squatting to the side, writing something in a small notebook, glancing up at him every now and then with a strange look in his eyes.

"You two really do have... a lot of free time."

If the Tongtian Cult Master put himself in Tai Yi's shoes, he would truly feel despair.

Neither the eldest brother nor the third brother were decent people... The Tongtian Cult Master found a relatively flat rock opposite Di Jun and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist seems to be preoccupied?"

Di Jun took a bite of the fish and mumbled something.

"But is it for Zhenyuanzi, or... something else?"

Tongtian paused, then looked up at Di Jun.

The other person remained as nonchalant as ever, as if it were just a casual question.

But Tongtian keenly sensed that Di Jun's seemingly casual eyes held a knowing understanding of everything.

"Zhenyuanzi ..."

Tongtian slowly savored the name, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes.

"That old bastard, he's been hiding pretty well."

"Yeah, they're pretty good at dodging."

Di Jun nodded and slowly started grilling another fish.

"But speaking of which, it seems he's moving soon."

"Move?" Tongtian raised an eyebrow.

"Well, they say the feng shui in the East Sea is bad, so they're planning to head south and find a quiet place to grow sweet potatoes."

Di Jun spoke, he laughed at himself.

"Grow sweet potatoes?"

Tongtian was stunned, then his face darkened.

"He's trying to run away?"

Does it matter whether you run or not?

Di Jun raised his eyes, looked at Tongtian, and spoke casually as always.

"You've already taken the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and he's suffered a loss too; you've also been hit by the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder."

"What good will it do to keep arguing, except get hit by a few more bolts of lightning?"

Tongtian remained silent.

Di Jun's words were blunt and somewhat harsh, but they were the truth.

Zhenyuanzi possesses the Book of Earth for protection and is most adept at concealment and escape.

Last time, even with the power of the Chaos Bead, he failed to keep it, and instead incurred a warning from the Heavenly Dao.

My injuries haven't healed yet, and the Chaos Bead seems rather unreliable...

"Fellow Daoist."

Di Jun suddenly put down the grilled fish, wiped his hands, and looked at Tongtian with a more serious expression.

Some things can't be rushed.

What's meant to be yours will come to you.

Tongtian felt a chill run down his spine.

Di Jun's words were not just directed at Zhenyuanzi, but more like a reminder to him.

Could it be that Di Jun knows his identity Transmigrator?

Impossible!

Apart from Hongjun after Dao Integration, even those few saints might not be able to see through his true nature.

Although this Di Jun of the Prehistoric World is somewhat eccentric, he is certainly no match for those sages.

"Fellow Di Jun is right. Tongtian will remember your words today."

Tongtian's attitude towards Di Jun remained quite peaceful.

Since he wouldn't see Di Jun again after the Investiture of the Gods, there was no need for him to clash with Di Jun.

Di Jun waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

"Fellow Daoist, please take care. Come visit often when you have time."

Tongtian nodded and said no more.

He glanced at Qin Yuan one last time, and seeing that the other was still engrossed in writing something, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the horizon.

He ultimately did not pursue Zhenyuanzi.

Just like Di Jun said, there's no need to rush.

The most urgent task is to heal from the injuries, stabilize one's realm, and develop the Interception Sect.

Zhenyuanzi... There's plenty of time ahead.

After watching Tongtian depart, Di Jun sat back down on the rock and continued grilling his fish.

Qin Yuan closed his notebook and leaned closer.

"Brother, do you think Tongtian will listen to you?"

Whether he listens or not is his business.

Di Jun flipped the grilled fish, the firelight reflecting on his calm face.

Qin Yuan nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly said:

"Brother, what do you mean by the relationship between Witch-Demon..."

"A battle will eventually be fought."

Di Jun interrupted him, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable certainty.

Qin Yuan was taken aback.

I know what you're thinking.

Di Jun glanced at him.

"Do you think that Tai Yi and Chen Tian are both holding back? Do you think that the Witch-Demon might be able to coexist? Do you think that the Measure Calamity might be avoided?"

Qin Yuan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"It's useless."

Di Jun shook his head and handed the grilled fish to Qin Yuan.

"The trend is like a tide, unstoppable by human power."

"The Witch Clan feeds on all spirits; it's ingrained in their bones and can't be changed."

" For the Demon Clan to survive, reproduce, and develop, it must rebel; it's in its nature."

"The conflict between the two races is fundamental; it will only end if one side is completely defeated, or..."

Di Jun paused for a moment, then looked up at the vast starry sky.

"Or, an overwhelming third force may emerge and forcibly unite the two races together."

"But do you think the Prehistoric World right now possesses such power?"

Qin Yuan ate the fish in silence, finding it tasteless.

He knew, of course, that what Di Jun said was true.

The conflict between the Witch-Demon and the demons was almost inevitable.

However, the fact that Tai Yi and Chen Tian had both been deliberately restraining themselves over the years gave him a sliver of hope.

"So..."

Qin Yuan looked at Di Jun.

"Brother, do you mean there's nothing we can do but wait for the war to break out?"

"It's possible, but don't force it."

Di Jun patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder, his tone unusually serious.

"Tell Tai Yi, and tell yourself too."

"Do what you can."

"Fight when you should fight, and retreat when you should retreat."

"Being alive is more important than anything else."

Qin Yuan stared blankly at Di Jun, suddenly realizing that his usually lazy and carefree older brother's eyes were now so deep that they were unsettling.

He seemed to have... seen through everything long ago.

"I see."

Qin Yuan nodded emphatically, firmly remembering Di Jun's words.

Di Jun smiled, then resumed his lazy demeanor, lying back on the rocks and gazing at the starry sky.

"Good that you understand."

"Here, eat the fish, it won't taste good when it's cold."

On the other side.

When Tongtian returned to Penglai Immortal Island, Duobao and the others had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Shizun."

Duobao stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"You and your eldest master, second master..."

"It's alright."

Tongtian waved his hand, interrupting Duobao's question.

He looked down at the already well-established Biyou Palace and the busy Jie Sect Disciple on the island, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"From this day forward, Penglai is sealed off, and the island's protective formation is activated."

"No disciple may leave without orders."

"Duobao, you will personally oversee the construction of the Myriad Immortals Array. I want to see its initial form within one Primordial Era)."

"Yes!"

Although Duobao had doubts, seeing Tongtian's solemn expression, he dared not ask any further questions and quickly accepted the order and left.

Tongtian stands alone at the highest point of the Biyou Palace, overlooking the entire island.

The system's voice sounded in his mind again:

"Host's emotional fluctuations detected, triggering hidden quest: The True Path to Power."

Option 1: A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.

"To survive until the Measure Calamity the Investiture of the Gods, to change the course of the Prehistoric World world, and to let the Interception Sect win the Investiture of the Gods war."

"Rewards received: Cultivation level increased to the fifth Primordial Realm Chaos Realm, Jade Disc of Creation Fragment, and Inheritance of the Chaos Demon God."

Option Two: A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?

"Directly overturn the chessboard, unite the Witch-Demon and Demon races to attack Zixiao Palace, and refine the Prehistoric World."

Reward: Redwood Coffin

After seeing the generous rewards of option one, the Tongtian Cult Master did not hesitate and chose to survive until he was granted the title of Investiture of the Gods.

The cultivation Primordial Realm of the Primordial Chaos Realm and the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment were simply too tempting.

I just don't know what this Chaos Demon God's inheritance is?

However, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality!

There are definitely no side effects.
