On the Sun Star, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, Bai Ze, and the others gathered in Lingxiao Palace to discuss the creation of Demon Language.
Bai Ze stood in the center of the hall. Before him lay an enormous bamboo scroll densely covered with the vocabulary and grammar of various peoples.

Dijun nodded. "Good. Use them as the foundation for Demon Language.

The three accepted their assignments and set to work.

Houtu smiled faintly, summoned her Escape Light, and flew west.
