Red Cloud: In the Primordial Wilderness, I Am Red Cloud, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start, Part 165

At this thought, Hongjun's gaze grew even more profound, streams of chaos constantly swirling in his eyes.

At last, before the Heavenly Dao Merit had finished descending,

a detached voice came from the depths of the Heavenly Dao.

"Good!"

It was Hongjun's voice!

The sound instantly spread throughout the Primordial Wilderness, reaching the ears of every cultivator.

A portion of the Demon Race's Fortune also rose up,

connecting to Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the depths of the Heavenly Dao!

Only then did Di Jun relax a little. He respectfully clasped his hands and bowed toward the source of the voice.

"Many thanks, Dao Ancestor!"

A relieved smile appeared on his face.

Now, the Demon Race had not only been established, but had also gained Dao Ancestor Hongjun's endorsement.

Even if Di Jun had forced his way into claiming it,

the fact was now settled, no matter what.

Atop Fire Cloud Cave,

Red Cloud stood watching from afar as the Demon Race was established.

He had seen it all: Di Jun's speech,

and then Hongjun's response!

A look of surprise crossed Red Cloud's face.

"Di Jun really can swallow his pride and flatter Hongjun..."

"Is this the way of an emperor—knowing when to yield and when to stand firm?"

In Red Cloud's view, Di Jun's Demon Race was like a private enterprise, offering up a little of its fortune

in exchange for borrowing the prestige of a state-owned enterprise!

Though it seemed Dao Ancestor Hongjun had skimmed off some of their gains, the Demon Race had also acquired an official standing.

If a Heavenly Dao Saint ever asked them:

What status do you have to think you can teach all living beings?

Di Jun could fire right back!

What status do I have?

I've been certified by Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
