Establishing the Demon Race, Proclaiming the Heavenly Emperor

"Utterly arrogant! A mere Donghua Daoist dares to establish the Donghua Immortal Palace and summon all the immortals of the Great Desolation. What are your thoughts, everyone?"

Di Jun's pair of heroic eyes swept across his subordinates gathered in the hall.

Shang Yang kept glancing at Li Mo.

Li Mo, at this moment, was yawning, looking half-asleep.

Originally, he hadn't planned to come.

Who knew Di Jun would specifically call for him?

And so, he could only come to the main hall to slack off.

Upon hearing this, Shang Yang offered a suggestion: "Lord Di Jun, I propose we go to the Donghua Immortal Palace to scout the situation and see which immortals have gone there."

"Lord Di Jun, I suggest we directly lead a million beings and destroy the Donghua Immortal Palace!"

Someone proposed, full of malice.

"This plan is excellent!"

"Indeed!"

For a time, many subordinates below echoed in agreement.

The Witch Clan was violent, and the Demon Race was not much different in this regard.

However, Di Jun flew into a rage and cursed, "Nonsense! What is going on in all your heads? Bai Ze has already received the intelligence that the Donghua Daoist has gathered no less than a million beings under his command. Although there aren't many powerful figures, they absolutely cannot be underestimated."

"If we attack directly, how many of the million beings under my command will be left?"

As soon as he said this, many people turned their gazes towards Bai Ze.

They hadn't expected Bai Ze to bring back such information.

Seeing everyone's stares, he couldn't help but lift his head, his chin held higher than usual.

Master is amazing! So all these years, while secretly doing things like this.

Since Dong Wang Gong has so many beings under him, Brother Jun, why don't you just slap Dong Wang Gong in the face.

He established the Donghua Immortal Palace, right? Be decisive and establish the Demon Race, form a Heavenly Court, and proclaim yourself Heavenly Emperor, surpassing him.

You're going to do these things sooner or later anyway.

Di Jun felt a jolt run through his body.

Li Mo's words were like a divine revelation, making him feel enlightened and suddenly understand everything.

You establish the Donghua Immortal Palace! I will establish the Demon Race, form a Heavenly Court, and proclaim myself Heavenly Emperor, thus surpassing you.

And directly announce that I am the true master of the Great Desolation from now on.

He was immensely excited and declared, "I announce that starting today, I establish the Demon Race!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo glanced at Di Jun.

Brother Jun, you truly are my kindred spirit! If you have the guts, establish a Heavenly Court too?

"Demon Race?"

"What is the Demon Race?"

"I don't know!"

Listening to the noisy voices from below, Di Jun spoke again.

"All beings born from heaven and earth, naturally conceived. Flying birds, beasts, insects, fish, ancient spirits, and strange creatures, all are the Demon Race!"

As soon as he said this, many demons were shocked.

The Demon Race, as defined, encompassed almost all the beings currently in existence.

Di Jun hadn't finished speaking and continued, "From this day forward, I establish the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, and I shall be the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race. My brother, Tai Yi, shall be the Eastern Emperor."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Great Desolation was shaken!

What was originally a small voice, now sounded as if it had an amplifier.

However, the range of this amplifier extended throughout the entire Great Desolation.

"Di Jun establishes the Demon Race and forms the Heavenly Court!"

With a hum!

In the sky, two golden dragons, thousands of feet long, appeared.

The palace above their heads seemed to become transparent.

This scene was witnessed by everyone.

Bai Ze was the first to exclaim, "Golden Dragons of Merit! They are actually Golden Dragons of Merit!"

"The Heavenly Emperor established the Demon Race and formed the Heavenly Court, receiving the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, and actually bestowing merit!" The astrologer Shang Yang immediately knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground.

For a time, many demons knelt down.

[Awesome! Heavenly merit descended, and two streams at that!]

Li Mo thought as he watched the merit golden dragons rapidly descend.

However, to the shock of the Demon Race present.

The first golden dragon split into three, bestowing itself upon three different individuals.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Li Mo!

The second golden dragon of merit split into two, heading towards Di Jun and Li Mo.

This scene caused the entire place to erupt in shock.

"How can this be? A golden dragon of merit actually descended upon that person!"

"Who is he? Just a mere guard of the Sun God Palace?"

"You don't recognize him? That's Senior Bai Ze's disciple, Li Mo. Senior Di Jun values him greatly."

"Isn't that valuing him a bit too much? Two golden dragons, with at least one-fifth of their power, descended upon Li Mo."

Even Li Mo himself was stunned.

[How can this be? What does a golden dragon of merit have to do with me? Could it be that Brother Jun is just favoring me? Deliberately giving me some?]

Li Mo looked towards Di Jun, as this was the only explanation that made sense.

However, Di Jun knew exactly what was happening.

I only followed your advice to establish the Demon Race and the Heavenly Court.

As Li Mo felt the two golden dragons of merit merge directly into his body, his cultivation level directly increased.

From the peak of True Immortal, which he had accumulated, he directly entered the mid-stage of Mystic Immortal.

This speed of leveling up felt incredibly satisfying to Li Mo.

[Brother Jun, oh Brother Jun, tell me, how am I supposed to escape now?]

"Bai Ze, your disciple is clearly becoming more and more valued by Senior Di Jun. The Senior actually took the initiative to share merit with him." Shang Yang said with a wry smile to Bai Ze beside him. In his opinion, this was Di Jun's deliberate action.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze was overjoyed. He patted Shang Yang's shoulder and said, "You don't need to worry too much. The disciple I've taught understands the bigger picture and won't cause you any trouble. In the future, you will also be a great general of our Demon Race!"

Shang Yang's mouth twitched. He felt like slapping Bai Ze across the face a few times.

This bit of merit, for Di Jun, could only elevate his strength to a higher level.

As for reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, it was still not possible.

After all, he still didn't know the method to enter the Quasi-Saint realm.

He directly put away the second golden dragon of merit and cast it into the Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool.

With the Heavenly Court newly established, Di Jun proclaimed himself Heavenly Emperor.

As this news spread, it caused a huge uproar throughout the Great Desolation.

Outside the Great Desolation, within the chaos, inside the Purple Heaven Palace.

Even Hong Jun opened his eyes and murmured, "Strange, why is the time Di Jun proclaimed himself Heavenly Emperor off by a bit from my calculations?"

Hong Jun had calculated that Di Jun would establish the Heavenly Court and proclaim himself Heavenly Emperor around the time of his second sermon.

"The great tribulation is approaching, and the heavenly secrets are in chaos. It's normal not to be able to calculate precisely."

With that, Hong Jun closed his eyes once more.

Kunlun Mountain!

"Heh heh, creatures born from wetness and eggs dare to call themselves Heavenly Emperor? Utterly laughable." Yuqing Yuanshi scoffed, showing great disdain for Di Jun and Tai Yi.

"Brother, what do you think?" Yuanshi asked Laozi.

"What does it have to do with me?" Laozi smiled faintly and said no more.

"What about Third Brother?" At this moment, Tongtian Daoist was drawing circles in the air with his sword in hand.

"The Great Desolation is in chaos, and living beings are suffering. Having a leader might be a good thing," Tongtian Daoist said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! So, you're supporting those two mongrel birds?" Yuanshi Daoist frowned, somewhat displeased.

"Brother, your words are a bit too crude." Tongtian Daoist closed his eyes after speaking.

"I just gave up a spot for you, and you've already been bought?"

Yuanshi pressed, but Tongtian did not reply.

At this moment, Dong Wang Gong and Donghua Daoist were furious, flying into a rage.
