"Fellow Daoist, do you find something amiss?"

Hong Yun thought for a moment and asked slowly:

"Fellow Daoist, what is your original intention?"

Di Jun's expression stirred. He exchanged a look with Fuxi, a strange emotion in their eyes.

This was a question he and Fuxi had only touched upon superficially at first.

The main reason was that the Immortal Dao was not suitable for them.

However, with Hong Yun's question now, Di Jun felt a stirring in his heart.

He lowered his head slightly and thought to himself:

"Forget it, it's just some of my wild thoughts anyway. What's the harm in speaking them aloud?"

He immediately looked at Hong Yun with a wry smile.

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me for saying this, but I want to establish this Dao with all of you. First and foremost, it's for myself to achieve Primordial Chaos!"

"The Great Dao is vast and long. Who wouldn't want to take another step forward?"

When Di Jun said this, everyone nodded slightly.

This was the truth; they all thought the same way, and there was no room for pretense.

Which of them, who came to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao, didn't think this way?

Who knew Di Jun continued:

"There's another reason, which might make you all laugh."

"I was born from the Sun Star, and my brother Taiyi and I have traveled the Primordial Era a few times.

"After the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the three tribes declined.

"But more affiliated races suffered even more miserably. Without anyone to lead them, they fought amongst themselves, pointlessly losing their lives."

As Di Jun spoke, Hong Yun's eyes suddenly lit up!

No way!

Di Jun was already having the idea of unifying all beings in the Primordial Era and establishing the Demon Race?

It was known that a large part of the Demon Race originally consisted of the dependents of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes.

After the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin were hidden by karma, the myriad races were left without a leader.

Only then were they gathered by Di Jun and established as the Demon Race!

Di Jun said:

"I was thinking, originally they were hostile towards each other because they belonged to different factions and races."

"If everyone cultivated the same Dao and merged with each other, would things be a little better?"

As the saying goes, those with common aspirations can walk the same path.

Di Jun thought of cultivating the same Dao, and naturally, they would all be considered their own people.

The look in Hong Yun's eyes became even more astonished.

Good heavens, you're thinking the same as Hongjun!

And you're going to capture all the myriad races of the Primordial Era in one net.

After everyone cultivates your Demon Dao, who else will cultivate the Immortal Dao?

You'll have seized all the destiny, and the teachings will all be your credit!

If Hongjun doesn't deal with you, who will?

Except for Nu Wa, who has a stake in the Demon Race and might not care.

Which other Saint wouldn't view you as a thorn in their side?

Moreover, the more people who cultivate the Demon Dao, the more countless people will expand its boundaries.

Different wonderful ideas will converge.

It will inevitably become stronger and stronger!

Hong Yun immediately sighed sincerely:

"I deeply admire what Fellow Daoist is thinking!"

Hong Yun's words were not insincere at all. Judging by the time when the Demon Race was at its peak.

They occupied half of the Primordial Era world, unifying most of the races except for the Witch Clan, with very few not joining the Demon Race.

Logically speaking, this was something even Ancestral Dragon couldn't achieve!

And now, Di Jun looked so peace-loving.

Hong Yun believed him!

But he believed even more that once the Demon Dao was established and the Demon Race truly formed.

The ways of the world change, and even if Di Jun truly maintained his original intentions, he would be forced by circumstances.

He would have to do many things against his own will!

Di Jun's words immediately touched everyone deeply.

Taiyi looked at his elder brother with natural respect.

Fuxi also looked at Di Jun with passionate eyes.

"I didn't expect a fellow Daoist to have such thoughts!"

"To harbor such compassion for the beings of the Primordial Era."

Fuxi simultaneously considered the underlying meaning. If it could truly be as Di Jun said.

Being able to enlighten the Primordial Era was one thing, but even if they only achieved a fraction of what they were discussing now.

The fortune they would gain would certainly be substantial!

Then, would he and his sister be able to achieve the Great Dao sooner?

Thinking this, he looked towards his sister, Nu Wa.

As for Zhen Yuan Zi, having listened to Hong Yun's various conspiracy theories for too long, he almost instantly reached the same conclusion as Hong Yun.

Although his face remained smiling, he was inwardly vigilant.

"No wonder little brother Hong Yun refused Di Jun earlier!"

"This is essentially treading the same old path as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes. I fear it will be difficult to escape the same fate as Ancestral Dragon and the others!"

"Little brother Hong Yun, don't be foolish!"

Zhen Yuan Zi began to worry about Hong Yun in his heart.

Looking again at Hou Tu and Xuanming.

Hou Tu appeared somewhat moved, while Xuanming was largely indifferent.

It made sense; they were of the Witch Clan.

Combat and conquest were their daily lives, and there was truly nothing for them to fear.

Even if they died, it would only be a return to the embrace of Father God Pan Gu.

After Di Jun finished speaking, he kept his gaze fixed on Hong Yun.

He felt that Hong Yun's consistently confident demeanor must stem from some idea he had.

Perhaps it could even be of help to them!

Moreover, Zhen Yuan Zi and Hong Yun were both highly cultivated.

If they could be invited to join...

He then continued to press:

"Fellow Daoist, do you have any suggestions?"

"How can you teach me?"

Hong Yun pondered for a moment.

Di Jun had now truly bared his heart to them, revealing his innermost thoughts.

These words, on the surface, only conveyed Di Jun's goodwill.

Compassion for the beings of the Primordial Era!

But to intelligent ears, it was actually saying, "Hurry up and join us!"

"Look how glorious my future is!"

"Merit and fortune abound, achieving the Dao and becoming a Saint is just around the corner!"
