Di Tian did not offer much explanation for Wang Shu's confusion.

The Dao-Devil Conflict appeared incomparably perilous. Even Yin Yang and the others, at Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection, had been tricked to death by Hong Jun.

But in truth, once they waited for the Western Earth Veins to explode and all the reincarnated Demon Gods participating in the battle to be severely crippled—

The danger would inevitably plummet!

Besides, he had no intention of participating directly.

He merely wanted to seize the opportunity to take the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

And claim some of Luo Hou's inheritance.

Of course, if things proved impossible, he could abandon any inheritance.

But he absolutely had to obtain the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

Even if he had to rely on the divine might of the Chaos Pearl to track Qian Kun back to his cave abode, or find an opportunity to ambush and kill him midway—

He could not allow it to escape from Qian Kun's hands!

For the public good, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron had originally been Father God's accompanying supreme treasure, transformed from the lotus pod of the Chaos Green Lotus.

He was merely reclaiming an inheritance!

For his own purposes, whether for his personal plans or for the Star Radiance Divine Court

The Heaven and Earth Cauldron was an indispensable piece!

So long as there was even the slightest chance, he had to act and secretly kill Qian Kun!

"I have a reason I must enter the fray."

As Di Tian answered gravely, he gave Wang Shu his final instructions.

"If I go to the Primordial Land, you will temporarily assume the position of Star Emperor."

"I will leave the Ziwei Emperor Seal, the All Heavens Star Chart, and the Four Treasures of Culture in the Star Court."

"With these treasures, so long as no Grand Luo of Hunyuan attacks, you should be able to lead the Star Gods and hold out until I return."

"If things prove impossible, everything here may be abandoned."

"So long as you remain unharmed, everything else, including resources, is merely worldly possession. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Wang Shu nodded slightly, her expression turning somewhat solemn.

"You must be careful."

"Hong Jun and those reincarnated Demon Gods are all bastards who devour people without even leaving the bones."

Di Tian nodded coldly, telling Wang Shu not to worry.

His understanding of Hong Jun and the others—

Was far deeper than those old schemers understood themselves.

And if things truly proved impossible, preserving his life would naturally come first.

No matter how heaven-defying a treasure was, it was not more important than himself.

Besides, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron would ultimately fall into Hong Jun's hands.

At worst, he could simply snatch it back from him later.

"If there is nothing else, return to your cultivation."

"When the time comes, I will leave on my own."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu immediately asked Di Tian

Whether the Devil Race Death Warrant issued earlier should be halted.

And whether Di Jun Brothers, who had shown no signs of activity for a long time and were suspected to have already descended to the lower realm, should be captured and imprisoned in the Star Prison.

"There is no need to halt the Devil Race Death Warrant."

"There are as many ambitious schemers in the world as carp crossing a river."

"This is the perfect opportunity to intimidate them."

After pondering briefly, Di Tian came to a decision.

"Only by letting them witness the Star Court's strength and understand their own insignificance will the Star Radiance Treasure Pill forever remain the mainstream currency of the Primordial Wilderness."

"It will also be immensely beneficial to our future plans."

"As for Di Jun and Taiyi, leave them alone for now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu immediately answered coldly.

"Very well. I will carry out the Devil Race Death Warrant to the end."

"And use it to intimidate the Ten Thousand Races of the lower realm."

"Mm."

Di Tian nodded lightly, just about to dismiss Wang Shu.

When a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind, and he thought of an issue concerning the Devil Race Death Warrant.

"Have the Innate Star Gods of the lower realm keep their subordinates in check."

"All actions against the Devil Race must follow the rules of the Phoenix Race during the Three Races Calamity."

"Suppression shall be the priority, slaughter the secondary measure."

"War is about to erupt across heaven and earth. If they can avoid becoming stained with excessive Karmic Force and Sin, they should not kill wantonly."

"As for the Devil Race cultivators they capture—"

Di Tian's eyes flickered several times before he found a solution.

"So long as someone is willing to take them, sell them all off at bargain prices."

"If no one dares to buy them, bring them all back to mine spirit ore and clear the baleful aura from the Star River."

"Once their value has been completely squeezed dry, throw them Beyond the Chaos Heavens and let them fend for themselves."

"Moreover, bounties can be placed on Devil Race cultivators."

"Anyone who brings back the head of one of the Eight Great Demon Generals will receive one million Star Radiance Treasure Pills per head!"

As the sun and moon shifted and seas turned to mulberry fields—

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

As Di Tian's orders spread throughout the Ten Thousand Races of the lower realm—

They directly sparked a frenzy of hunting the Devil Race.

From billions of races and Innate Sacred beings above, to scattered cultivators and lone wolves below—

All surged madly into the Western Land.

All because of the enhanced Devil Race Death Warrant.

Even over the following seven thousand years—

Though Luo Hou presided over the Devil Race, there were still living beings willing to risk their lives for money.

They constantly harassed and attacked the territories controlled by the Devil Race.

In merely ten thousand years, the Devil Race had already lost seventy percent of its control over the Western Continent.

Only the core region centered on Mount Sumeru remained.

Due to Luo Hou's suppression, it had not fallen into the hands of the Ten Thousand Races!

Moreover, because the Innate Star Gods and their affiliated races carried out Di Tian's orders—

They had remained hidden behind the scenes, with exceedingly few opportunities to act.

They had not become tainted with much Karmic Force or Sin.

Instead, they obtained a great number of Devil Race slaves and traded for countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Dharma artifacts, and divine weapons, greatly enriching the Star Court Treasury.

This allowed the Star Radiance Treasure Pill to completely become the mainstream currency of the Primordial World.

Ninety-nine percent of all transactions were settled using Star Radiance Treasure Pills.

However, whether because its time to appear had not yet come or for some other reason—

The Falling Treasure Copper Coin could never be found.

"Devil Ancestor, we cannot keep cowering like this.

"If we do not strike back soon, the Ten Thousand Races will wipe us out sooner or later!"

"That's right, Devil Ancestor."

"Ri Biao, Jin Ao, Fu Bi, and Jiao Ni have all been surrounded and killed, then taken to the Star Court in exchange for bounty money."

"If this continues, the Devil Race you painstakingly created will be reduced to ashes."

"..."

At Mount Sumeru Summit, Wang Hu, Shang Xiang, Ming Jiao, and Cui Wei knelt before Luo Hou, continually crying out about the Devil Race's current situation.

"Enough! Stop making noise!"

How could Luo Hou not know of the situation the four had reported? But he was truly stretched too thin right now.

Not only did he need to refine the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, he also had to prepare for Hong Jun and the others who would soon arrive.

Where would he find so much spare time to put out fires everywhere?

"Gather every surviving member of the Devil Race in the Mount Sumeru Range. Without my orders, not a single one of them is to leave again!"

"Once I have completely dealt with Hong Jun and the others—"

"Whether it is the Ten Thousand Races who came to plunder the Western Region, or the Star Court established by that dog bastard Di Tian!"

"I will settle both old and new grudges with all of them at once!!"

Yet just as Luo Hou's rage surged to the heavens, Hong Jun and the others had already quietly arrived outside his cave abode.

After all, Di Tian was not the only one who understood the principle of beating a drowning dog and taking its life while it was sick.

Now that the Devil Race was being suppressed by the Ten Thousand Races while Luo Hou had not appeared for so long, he was surely preparing a trump card to kill them all.

If they did not act now—

Were they supposed to wait until he finished preparing, then go and throw away their lives?

"Luo Hou, come out and accept your death!"

Hong Jun's furious shout instantly resounded across the Western Land, drawing the attention of all living beings among the Ten Thousand Races.

"Someone is actually launching a campaign against Luo Hou? Now this will be a good show."

"What good show? Someone is taking the initiative to hold Luo Hou back. If we do not use this chance to kill more Devil Race cultivators, do you think Star Radiance Treasure Pills will fall from the sky?"

"You idiot, couldn't you keep your voice down or go quietly by yourself? Great, now everyone has heard you!"

"Why care about them? Let's see how strong the people attacking him are. If they are not up to the task, then we continue as usual. But if they can truly hold Luo Hou back, saying it or not makes no difference. No one here is stupid."

"..."

The words instantly lit up the eyes of the Ten Thousand Races' living beings, and all of them looked toward Luo Hou in the skies, whose fury soared to the heavens and whose devilish might suppressed the world.

The moment he showed even the slightest hint of fear would be the moment the grand feast began!
