Background / History
Di Jun was born from the Sun Star with Taiyi, both emerging as Three-Legged Golden Crows wreathed in True Sun Fire. A transmigrator, Di Jun initially believed that he and Taiyi could defy Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao while preserving a peaceful brotherhood. Both brothers received systems immediately after their birth, though they concealed their conflicting ambitions behind an affectionate façade 34.
The premature Dao–Devil conflict and the survival of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods undermined Di Jun's assumptions about the Primordial World. After witnessing Heavenly Dao Shichen merge with the Heavenly Dao and learning that Pangu and the other Demon Gods remained alive, he abandoned his certainty that he was a chosen protagonist 38 57.
At Hongjun's second sermon, Di Jun chose survival over his original ambition. He destroyed his own law cultivation, fell from early-stage Primordial Golden Immortal to peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, and entered the Method of Slashing the Three Corpses by severing his Evil Corpse. He then confessed his identity as a transmigrator to Hongjun 58.
Heavenly Dao Shichen accepted Di Jun's proposal and assigned him to covertly target transmigrators with systems, extracting their opportunities for the Primordial World. Shichen accelerated Di Jun's time by ten millionfold, allowing him to cultivate the Good and Self Corpses and reach peak Quasi-Sage 59.

Di Jun first emerges from the Sun Star in golden attire amid True Sun Fire. As Heavenly Emperor, he wears a gleaming golden dragon robe and stands amid starlight, with ten suns hanging behind him 34 105.
- Born from the Sun Star alongside Taiyi.

- Commonly bears an imperial, composed demeanor.
- Wields the bearing and regalia of the Heavenly Emperor 61 105.
Personality
Di Jun begins as ambitious and idealistic, wanting to rewrite the fate he believes awaits himself and Taiyi. His early concern for his brother is genuine, but it is gradually displaced by suspicion after he learns that Taiyi is also a transmigrator with a system 34 58 59.
After accepting Heavenly Dao Shichen's task, Di Jun becomes markedly pragmatic and calculating. He conceals his true peak Quasi-Sage cultivation, recruits allies through carefully tailored offers, and treats other transmigrators as resources that can be made to benefit the Primordial World 59 60 61 87.
Despite his ruthlessness toward invading gods and hostile factions, he repeatedly identifies the Human Race's survival as a priority. He intervenes against the Demon Court's massacre of humans, vows to protect them upon becoming a Sage, and recognizes that the Human Race's fate is connected to that of the Heavenly Court 94 95 105.
