Background

Di Jun was the first Golden Crow to hatch on the Sun Star, a celestial body formed from Pangu's left eye. Upon taking human form, he declared himself a Three-Legged Golden Crow and chose the name Di Jun. His innate companions were the River Map and Luo Scroll. 1

As the eldest brother, Di Jun helped Tai Yi hatch and took pride in Tai Yi's possession of the Chaos Bell rather than envying it. 1 Ling Xiao's later birth completed the three Golden Crow brothers, whose shared goal became securing their survival and strength amid the Primordial World's conflicts. 2

During an expedition to the Lunar Star, Di Jun comprehended the Lunar Grand Formation. Ling Xiao proposed combining it with the Solar Formation and gave Di Jun the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus to compensate for the River Map and Luo Scroll's lack of direct offensive and defensive power. 6

Personality

Di Jun is proud, direct, and highly protective of his brothers. He initially regrets being unable to protect Tai Yi and Ling Xiao in battle, which drives his focus on formations capable of guaranteeing their safety. 6

He is bold to the point of open defiance, rejecting Hongjun's offer to establish the Heavenly Court and later refusing to yield spoils of war even when confronted by Sages. 35 231 232 He also has a competitive streak, particularly regarding his standing among the Golden Crows; his duel with Tongtian was motivated by his refusal to be regarded as their weakest member. 67

Despite his arrogance, Di Jun trusts Tai Yi and Ling Xiao completely. He accepts Ling Xiao's guidance in array arts, fights in close coordination with Tai Yi, and continues to worry about Ling Xiao even after the brothers are separated. 6 140 772
