"The Three Clans have been silent since the Dragon-Han Tribulation. Is there any willingness to accept it?"

Di Jun spoke slowly.

"Accept it? There is no acceptance, nor any refusal. The victor is king, the loser a bandit. Our Elder Brothers have already lost, and that one has become the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Wilderness, the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson. What does acceptance or refusal matter? It all comes to nothing. To merely drag out a miserable existence is already a blessing."

Yuan Feng said calmly.

The Dragon-Han Tribulation was the war of the Three Clans for supremacy over the Primordial Wilderness. Ancestor Dragon, Ancestor Phoenix, and Ancestor Kirin sought to seize control of Heaven and Earth, hoping to use this vast destiny to attain the Hunyuan Dao. Thus arose a terrible calamity. As for the outcome, it went without saying.

Hongjun and Luo Hu, those two old schemers, directly intercepted. In the end, the Dragon-Han Tribulation turned into a struggle between Dao and Demon. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans, including Hongjun's opponent Luo Hu, and even Hongjun's three friends, all became his chess pieces, his stepping stones.

The Dragon, Phoenix, Kirin, and Luo Hu used their bodies to suppress the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire of the Primordial Wilderness, thereby stabilizing the four poles of Heaven and Earth. Yin Yang, Qian Kun, and Wu Xing Old Ancestor filled the three core rules of the Primordial Wilderness, thereby suppressing its order. Even the treasures were obtained by Hongjun.

There is no need to say more about these things. They have become the past.

"What if there is a chance to turn things around?"

Di Jun smiled.

"Turn things around?"

Candle Dragon and the other two narrowed their eyes. Thinking of the mystery of the Heavenly Court, their gazes all fell upon Di Jun.

"The Three Clans committed boundless slaughter during the Dragon-Han Tribulation and thus bore boundless karmic sin. For this reason, the Dragon Clan suppressed the waters of the Primordial Wilderness, the Kirin Clan suppressed its winds, and the Phoenix Clan suppressed its fires, thereby repaying their karma and sin."

"What if Imperial We could make it so that you need not stand guard? What if We could completely unseal your Three Clans?"

Di Jun said slowly.

Shua!!!

In an instant, Candle Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Ink Qilin's eyes lit up brightly.

Without wasting words or being long-winded, Di Jun slightly raised his hand. At the same time, the Di Jun true body seated in the Heavenly Emperor Palace above the Nine Heavens opened his eyes and pointed a finger.

In that instant, the Heavenly Realm shook. The Heavenly Court rumbled as if roaring. Vast destiny seemed to take form, as if bearing immense power and containing a terrifying will, dividing and manifesting.

Above the Four Seas Eye, the Undying Volcano, and the Endless Astral Wind—the three core regions bearing the wind, water, and fire of the Primordial Wilderness—a Heavenly Court Phantom appeared. As if pressing down with vast momentum, it directly and completely suppressed the wind, water, and fire.

A Mythological being bears the supreme, transcends the unrivaled. With the current Mythological Status of the Heavenly Court, it might be difficult to suppress the entire order of the Primordial Wilderness. But merely wind, water, and fire?

That was nothing more than a trivial matter. There was no need even to use the Mythological Seal.

Hong!!! Hong!!! Hong!!!

Hong!!! Hong!!! Hong!!!

Hong!!! Hong!!! Hong!!!

In an instant, sensing the anomaly, the true bodies of Candle Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Ink Qilin all opened their eyes. Their massive forms began to move. With a flash of divine light, the three transformed their true bodies into human forms. Looking around, shock appeared on their faces, and their expressions were filled with awe.

Weng!!!

With a single step, the three left their respective posts of guardianship. In the temporary Minor World, their avatars dispersed, and their true bodies appeared directly.

"Th-this!!!"

"What kind of power does the Heavenly Court possess, that it can suppress Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire with a single thought?"

"The Heavenly Court! The Heavenly Court!"

Unbelievable!

Inconceivable!

Candle Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Ink Qilin all looked at Di Jun. Their expressions could no longer be described by mere shock. They were utterly vivid, their minds completely blank. The awe within them could no longer be expressed in words.

"Is this enough?"

"If it is not enough, what if I bestow upon your Three Clans the Mythological Law? What if I revive the Ancestors of your Three Clans?"

Di Jun's expression was calm. Though his aura was restrained, it appeared profound and unfathomable. His plain words fell upon the three like a sudden thunderclap from clear skies, like a roll of heavenly thunder, causing their bodies to tremble, their expressions to change, and even their auras to become difficult to control. The void around them grew obscure.

"Revive Elder Brother? Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, are your words true?"

Candle Dragon stared fixedly at Di Jun and said.

"Imperial We am the Heavenly Emperor. My words are golden and my speech jade. What need is there to deceive?"

Di Jun said unhurriedly.

"Your subject, Candle Dragon, pays homage to Your Majesty. I swear by the name of the Dragon Clan Ancestor: My Dragon Clan shall swear loyalty unto death to the Heavenly Court, unto death to Your Majesty. If we violate this oath, may our race be utterly destroyed!"

Without hesitation, without delay, his eyes bright, Candle Dragon knelt on one knee without a second thought and shouted loudly.

"Your subject, Yuan Feng, pays homage to Your Majesty. I swear by the name of the Phoenix Clan Ancestor: My Phoenix Clan shall swear loyalty unto death—"

"Your subject, the Ink Qilin, pays homage to Your Majesty. I swear by the name of the Kirin Clan Ancestor—"

Yuan Feng and the Ink Qilin followed closely, each kneeling on one knee and swearing allegiance.

Hong!!!

In an instant, the entire Heavenly Realm erupted with a formless, thunderous roar. Vast destiny was born out of nothing. The Sea of Destiny seemed to stir up monstrous waves. The World Fetal Membrane appeared to take the form of a vast, ancient world in its infancy. Vague phantoms of the Heavenly Court's myriad beings began to revive within it. The Di Jun true body, deducing within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, saw his aura surge explosively in that moment.

He was now only one step away from the late Quasi-Saint stage!

Not only Di Jun, but all living beings of the Heavenly Court felt as if they had been sublimated in that moment. Even their affinity for comprehending the Great Dao had increased. In the unseen, their talents and aptitudes were elevated. Some even broke through their cultivation realms on the spot.

The three clans pledged their allegiance, and the Heavenly Court soared!

It was nearly a complete transformation.

"No need for such formalities, please rise."

His smile growing ever warmer, Di Jun helped the three up and spoke gently.

Once they had all sat down again, without wasting words, Di Jun cut straight to the point: "Imperial We need you to continue lying low. The waters of the Primordial Wilderness run deep, and all parties remain unclear. Imperial We must first ascertain the situation. Meanwhile, your three clans must also stay hidden in the shadows, quietly gathering strength. Only when the time is ripe will be the moment for you to emerge."

Upon hearing this, Candle Dragon and the others' minds flashed with memories of the ancient Beast Emperor Shen Ni, the various discoveries from the Dragon-Han Tribulation, and the Chaos that dwelt high above, guarding the entire order of the Primordial Wilderness. A flicker of understanding passed through their eyes, and they raised no objection to Di Jun's words.

"As Your Majesty decrees."

"As Your Majesty decrees."

"As Your Majesty decrees."

Candle Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Ink Qilin spoke with reverence.

"This Seat bestows upon you the Mythological Law. Mythology is the mystery of mysteries, supreme and unparalleled, transcending concepts, overriding origins, encompassing all."

First, he explained the meaning of mythology to the three. Seeing their stunned, dazed faces once more, Di Jun continued: "Imperial We already have an idea for resurrecting Ancestor Dragon and the other two, and the Mythological Law Imperial We are granting you is tied to that."

"When your clans have pushed this Law to its first pinnacle, and when the time is ripe, that will be the day Ancestor Dragon, Ancestor Phoenix, and Ancestor Qilin are revived."

"With the blessing of this Mythological Law, once they are resurrected, their cultivation will be elevated directly. Even the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin will be merely a starting point. They may even break through further, reaching even more terrifying heights!"

As his words fell, the three's bodies trembled, their expressions shifting constantly—moved, shaken, bewildered, countless emotions intertwining in their minds.

Did the Heavenly Court truly possess the Mythological Law? Thinking of the Heavenly Court's many mysteries and Di Jun's unfathomable depth, it seemed possible.

But then the question arose: why would the Mythological Law be connected to their Elder Brother? Could cultivating the Mythological Law actually aid in their Elder Brother's resurrection, allowing him to become immensely powerful the moment he returned?

What was the reason for this?

"We beg Your Majesty to bestow the Law!"

"We beg Your Majesty to bestow the Law!"

"We beg Your Majesty to bestow the Law!"

Too many doubts, utterly incomprehensible. The three cast aside their distracting thoughts, bowed deeply, and spoke in unison.
