Vast Primordial World, boundless chaos.
After countless hardships, experiencing the Great Tribulation of Heaven-Opening, the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, and the Dao-Demon Conflict.
Finally, the Great Desolation fell into Hong Jun's hands.
Li Mo lay on his bed and yawned.
He had transmigrated to the Great Desolation three hundred years ago.
Upon first taking form, he was merely an Earth Immortal, nearly devoured alive by other spirits and monsters.
Until a hundred years ago, he chanced upon a mighty being, possessing the power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
The other party calculated with his fingers but couldn't discern Li Mo's origins. He declared Li Mo's fate to be rare and took him as a disciple.
Li Mo thought he had latched onto a powerful patron.
Who would have thought! This mighty being was actually Bai Ze!
This was the future strategist of the Demon Race, and the Demon Race were the protagonists of the tribulation, destined for a great war with the Witch Clan.
The Witch-Demon Tribulation resulted in heavy casualties for both races. Who knew if he could even survive?
Oh! His cheap master, Bai Ze, managed to preserve his life.
As long as he stuck close to his master, he should be fine.
Suddenly, he jolted upright, his eyes wide open, and blurted out in shock: "Holy crap! What kind of weird system is this? This is too awesome!"
Recalling the voice that had sounded in his head just now, Li Mo realized he had actually awakened a System.
And the System actually told him to just lie flat, and he would receive rewards without doing anything!
Not only that, as long as he held out until the end of the Witch-Demon Tribulation, he could become a Saint on the spot.
Becoming a Saint!
Li Mo's breathing quickened.
After the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Great Desolation would only have seven Saints.
Hong Jun, the Three Pure Ones, the Two Western Sect Leaders, and Nuwa.
And he, just by lying flat until the end, could become a Saint on the spot.
Calculating the time, he would be the eighth Saint in the Great Desolation!
"But what if they force me to go to war? With my current trash combat power, I'd just be cannon fodder!"
"Forget it, if they dare send me to the battlefield, I'll run first and find a place to hide until the Witch-Demon Tribulation ends before coming out!"
With that thought, Li Mo comfortably changed his position and continued sleeping.
Just as he was enjoying himself, a voice, like a great bell, resounded.
High I recline in the ninth cloud, on a cushion, a true Daoist. Beyond the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, I shall be the sect leader. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, Yin and Yang, and the Four Symbols follow. One lineage passes to three friends, the Two Sects, Chan and Jie, divide. The supreme leader of the Xuanmen, born from a single Qi, is Hong Jun.
"I, Hong Jun, have finally achieved the Primordial Great Luo Dao Fruit, becoming the first Saint of the Great Desolation. In a few days, I will open the altar to preach in the Purple Heaven Palace. Those with destiny are all welcome to attend."
The rolling thunderous sound echoed.
The entire Great Desolation was greatly shaken.
Li Mo, however, felt no surprise at this event.
Hong Jun preaching in the Purple霄 Palace was something many fans of Great Desolation novels knew.
And he himself was a heavy online novel enthusiast, how could he not know about this?
But, at this moment.
Li Mo, who was sleeping comfortably, vaguely heard a whistling sound.
A creature with a goat's horn on its head, white wings on its back, and an extraordinary appearance, shook him with its arm.
"Disciple!"
Bai Ze called out.
Unexpectedly, Li Mo chuckled, drooling, and moved Bai Ze's hand away, saying, "Sister, you're bumping into me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's face instantly darkened.
Li Mo also broke out in a cold sweat.
With a swish, he stood up and said, "Where did this Bearded Sister come from? Where?"
Looking around, Li Mo found no other figures.
Only his master, Bai Ze, stood there with a darkened expression, looking at him.
Li Mo finally understood what was going on.
He took a breath, feeling incredibly fortunate. So it was Master. I thought some Bearded Sister had appeared out of nowhere. You scared me to death.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so sluggish?" Bai Ze asked, displeased.
He was quite satisfied with his disciple.
He, Bai Ze, was resourceful and his divination was very accurate. However, he couldn't calculate anything about his disciple. That's when he decided to take him as a disciple.
As for cultivation, Li Mo spent a hundred years progressing from the early stage of Earth Immortal to Earth Immortal Peak, which was passable.
"Master, it's nothing. I'm just tired from cultivating and a bit sleepy." Li Mo rubbed his head. I can't exactly tell you that I've gotten a 'lie flat' system and can become a Saint just by sleeping until the Witch-Demon Tribulation ends, can I?
"Follow me to the Sun God Palace!" Bai Ze said.
"What are we going there for?" Li Mo asked, not wanting to go.
The Sun God Palace was located on the Sun Star. Although Di Jun and Tai Yi had set up formations there, it was still unbearably hot. If an ordinary person went up carelessly, they would likely be roasted into cooked meat on the spot.
"Just now, Hong Jun sent a message announcing to the Great Desolation that he has obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit and achieved a Saint Position. He will be lecturing. So, Lord Di Jun and Lord Tai Yi have summoned their subordinates to discuss whether they should go to Purple霄 Palace. You'll come along to witness it," Bai Ze said. His wings vibrated, and his speed increased dramatically as he headed towards the fiery Sun Star.
At this moment, Li Mo grumbled inwardly, What's there to discuss? Master actually called Di Jun and Tai Yi 'Lords'.
That's right, after all, they haven't established the Ancient Heavenly Court yet and haven't proclaimed themselves Heavenly Emperor.
After some time, Li Mo saw a massive star in front of him, engulfed in endless flames.
Various spirits and monsters were entering the Sun Star in an orderly fashion.
Inside the magnificent Sun God Palace, many spirits and monsters gathered below the high seats.
The few figures at the front had powerful auras, none weaker than Bai Ze.
However, Bai Ze was not standing further forward.
This was because Li Mo knew that his Master, Bai Ze, had only recently joined Di Jun and Tai Yi's ranks.
As he was thinking, outside the main hall.
Two figures, with a cry, appeared on the two high seats like the sun, radiating a scorching light.
They were both incredibly imposing, exuding an aura of supreme dominance and looking down upon the world.
"Greetings, Lord Di Jun, Lord Tai Yi!"
Upon seeing the two, the assembled beings bowed.
"All rise!" Di Jun said.
[This is Di Jun! Those sharp eyes, that thin, knife-like mouth! Brother Jun is mighty!]
Li Mo thought to himself.
This was the first time he had seen Di Jun. He had never even been to the Sun God Palace before.
Di Jun felt as if struck by lightning. Someone had actually transmitted a voice into his mind, daring to evaluate him like that?
He instantly became furious, his voice booming like a great bell.
"Who?"
Di Jun scanned his surroundings, his divine sense sweeping over the area.
Who was that just now? Logically, besides Tai Yi, no one else here would call me "Brother."
But Tai Yi always calls me 'Elder Brother.'
And the owner of that voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar.
[What's wrong with Brother Jun? Why is he acting crazy and shouting like that?]
Hearing this, Di Jun flew into a rage.
He, the dignified Di Jun, with profound origins and noble status, was being spoken to like this. How could he not be angry?
However, his divine sense swept through the entire Sun God Palace, yet he found nothing.
"What's going on? At such close range, I can't detect the other party's presence? My cultivation is at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
Honestly, besides Tai Yi, no one else in the entire hall was stronger than him.
[What are you spacing out for? Why aren't you getting to the point? Did your head get squeezed through a door? Brother Jun looks imposing, but in reality, he's probably an idiot, right?]
Li Mo muttered to himself, full of doubt.
As soon as the thought ended.
Di Jun's eyes, like torches, fixed on Li Mo.
It's him!
[Damn! What's going on? Why are you looking at me, Brother Jun? I didn't do anything. Aren't you going to ask the important questions and dismiss us soon?]
Di Jun's brow twitched as he looked at Li Mo beside him. At this moment, he finally confirmed it. The voice he had heard was actually this fellow's inner thoughts.
