"Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

Sensing the profound runes in their minds, Zhang Yao and the young man trembled, joy spreading across their faces as they knelt and kowtowed repeatedly.

They had thought they were doomed, yet not only did they survive, but they also gained such a great opportunity? And they even had the chance to join such a lofty and magnificent force?

The sudden fortune came too fast, leaving both of them somewhat unprepared.

"Someone come."

Waving his hand to return the blood-red bead to the young man, Di Jun spoke calmly, his lips barely moving. After a moment, a Heavenly General entered from outside the hall and bowed deeply to Di Jun.

"Take them away for now."

"As you command."

The Heavenly General silently performed a salute, then led the two away.

"Your Majesty, this child bears extraordinary fortune; he must be the Person of Destiny of that realm. Do you intend to nurture him?" Kunpeng mused thoughtfully.

The term "Person of Destiny" might sound lofty, but in the Primordial Wilderness, it was hardly a secret. In truth, everyone knew that while the immortal martial world wasn't as information-rich as a technological one, that didn't mean they were fools—only that their horizons were narrower.

Take Hongjun, for instance, and later Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Junti—all were Persons of Destiny.

Even Di Jun, Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches during the Witch-Demon Tribulation were protagonists of that calamity. If not, why would the Three Pure Ones have come to congratulate Di Jun's wedding in the original course of events, and Nuwa herself officiate? It was simply a matter of respecting the tribulation's protagonists—no need to elaborate.

"Let's keep him as a spare piece. The Primordial Wilderness is only the starting point of the Heavenly Court, not its end. One day, Our Heavenly Court will reach the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. Having more contingencies and talent reserves is always prudent."

"The All Heavens are vast, the Myriad Realms boundless, and the Primordial Wilderness is but a drop in the ocean. Yet even so, the waters of the Primordial Wilderness run deep—how much deeper must the All Heavens and Myriad Realms be? It's only right to prepare early." Di Jun spoke slowly.

He was the Lord of Myth; all who cultivated the Mythological System revered him as their sovereign, so Di Jun had no fear of these two slipping beyond his control.

"Indeed."

"Indeed."

"Indeed."

The assembled figures nodded slightly, all deeply agreeing with Di Jun's words.

"Fuxi, can you capture and locate the coordinates of the Tianwu Realm through the aura on this child?" Di Jun turned to Fuxi and asked.

The reason the Hunyuan Realm was also called "Attaining the Dao" or "Transcendence" was precisely this: once one achieved Hunyuan, they could leave the Primordial Wilderness and journey to the All Heavens and Myriad Domains.

Yet the All Heavens were vast, the Myriad Realms boundless, and each realm sealed itself away beneath the Primordial Chaos. Without coordinates, entering another realm was as difficult as reaching the heavens—nigh impossible.

If it were so easy to slip into other realms, the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms would have long descended into chaos, and the Primordial Wilderness wouldn't have only a handful of Transmigrators to this day. That was the reason.

But with realm coordinates, it was a different story. Aside from certain special realms that could move, normal realms were rooted in one place forever. With coordinates, one could directly connect the space and form a Realm Passage for cross-realm travel.

"It can be done, but My deduction authority is not yet high enough. It may take some time." Fuxi said thoughtfully.

"No matter. Take your time; there's no rush."

"For this campaign, Minghe will lead the expedition. Nuwa, Taiyi, Fuxi, Kunpeng, and Randeng will assist. If Minghe needs you, descend. I will guard the Heavenly Court. If the realm's Heavenly Dao rebels or you encounter an opponent you cannot handle, I will intervene." Di Jun said solemnly.

"As Your Majesty commands."

"As Your Majesty commands."

"As Your Majesty commands."

The group spoke in unison.

"If there is nothing else, withdraw." Di Jun said calmly.

The Mythological Cultivation System had yet to be fully converted, the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty and the later stages of the Mythological System still needed deduction, and the layout and arrangements in the Primordial Wilderness required haste—Di Jun had many matters to attend to.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." At this moment, Minghe stepped forward.

"Speak." Di Jun gestured.

"Your Majesty, I find Mosquito Daoist somewhat strange." Minghe frowned, thinking.

"Strange?" Di Jun raised an eyebrow.

"I know him. He should not have emerged at this time, nor should he have intervened in the struggle for the Primordial Wilderness now. Yet he came to this alien creature's affair, and even had the audacity to speak with me. This defies reason."

Minghe explained.

"Leverage."

Di Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled after a moment's thought. "Heh, interesting."

"Nothing strange about it. Taiyi must have told you about the Chaos Demon Gods. East King Duke has repeatedly failed in his tasks, and this time, not showing up likely means he's gotten some benefit from them and is in seclusion."

"With all these factors, the Chaos Demon Gods are bound to be dissatisfied with him. It's perfectly normal for them to want to cultivate another pawn. If we reason from this, what if the pawn the Chaos Demon Gods choose is Mosquito Daoist?"

"Others might be hard for the Chaos Demon Gods to win over—after all, Hongjun is still around—but what about Mosquito Daoist, born from the same Sea of Blood as you, yet inferior to you?"

As he spoke, a faint, elusive curve appeared at the corner of Di Jun's mouth.

From the looks of it, those Chaos Demon Gods seemed rather anxious?

"Chaos Demon Gods."

Minghe's gaze sharpened, his expression shifting slightly.

"You and Mosquito Daoist have some history?"

Noticing Minghe's expression, Di Jun said thoughtfully.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I am the sole living being born from the Sea of Blood. At that time, the Sea of Blood was dead and silent. Feeling somewhat lonely, I took the initiative to push it to birth a new life, and that life was Mosquito Daoist."

"But Mosquito Daoist has always been at odds with me, always wanting to prove to me that he is no less than I am. I don't wish for him to go down the wrong path. Cooperating with the Chaos Demon Gods carries too many hidden dangers. East King Duke only turned to them because Your Majesty had backed him into a corner."

Minghe said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Di Jun understood, and his expression turned somewhat odd.

So this is the real you, Minghe!

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside?

The character's falling apart, ah!

Isn't this just the script of the cold-faced older brother and the tsundere younger brother?

If that's the case, then it makes sense why Mosquito Daoist was so rampant during the God-Sealing Tribulation—offending both the East and the West, yet only falling into reincarnation instead of being utterly destroyed. Seems like he had backing.

Jieyin, Junti, and the Three Pure Ones would naturally show Minghe some face.

"No matter. Doesn't he want to prove himself to you? Then let him prove it. As for turning to the Chaos Demon Gods? What of it? Turning and turning are two completely different concepts."

Di Jun said with profound meaning.

"Thank you for the guidance, Your Majesty. Minghe understands."

Minghe's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized.

"Then let it be."

Di Jun closed his eyes and said no more.

"We take our leave."

"We take our leave."

"We take our leave."

Time passed in a flash, a hundred years gone in an instant.

In the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Di Jun, who was in the midst of converting the primordial 'Qi,' seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, your servant has not failed your trust. The Realm Coordinates have been successfully deduced, and we can construct the Realm Passage to descend upon the Tianwu Realm at any time."

Fuxi strode into the main hall, and upon seeing Di Jun, he bowed deeply and called out loudly.
