Background / History

Taiyi was born from the Sun Star as a Three-Legged Golden Crow beside Di Jun. Both had transmigrated into the Primordial World and received systems, but their outwardly cordial brotherhood concealed opposing ambitions. Taiyi resolved to become the sole ruler of the Demon Court, claim Xihe and Changxi, and eventually kill Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao 34.

He used foreknowledge and system-gained strength to approach Zulong during the Dragon–Phoenix conflict, warning that the war would destroy the Dragon Clan. By this point, his cultivation had already risen to the mid-stage Great Golden Immortal realm 36.

Although Taiyi initially maintained the appearance of fraternity with Di Jun, he repeatedly acted against him for treasure and authority. He later ambushed Di Jun in the Godfall Realm, demanding the Heavenly Court's fortune, and was horrified to learn during their wedding conflict that Di Jun was also a transmigrator 58 63 77.

Taiyi's system-derived advancement came at the expense of the Primordial World's Golden Crow origin and fortune. Hongjun ultimately exposed this cost before executing him, while preserving the remnant of Taiyi's true spirit for a later rebirth 98.

Appearance

Taiyi commonly appeared as a black-robed youth wearing a golden crown, with faint True Sun Fire circling his body 36. His innate true form was a Three-Legged Golden Crow born from the Sun Star 34.

• Black robes and golden crown 36
• Aura of scorching True Sun Fire 36
• Three-Legged Golden Crow origin 34
• Could manifest ten blazing suns behind himself in battle 96
• Following his execution, his body transformed into a blazing sun that Hongjun returned to Di Jun 98

Personality

Taiyi was intensely ambitious and possessive. From his birth, he regarded the Demon Emperor's position as rightfully his and treated Xihe and Changxi as prizes he was entitled to claim. He also believed that the Chaos Demon Gods, Hongjun, and the Heavenly Dao would ultimately become stepping stones beneath him 34 58.

He was impulsive when opportunities appeared, willing to endanger allies for treasure. When he seized the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Linglong Pagoda, he fled immediately and left Di Jun to face the anger of the Three Pure Ones and Ancestral Witches alone 46.

His resentment toward Di Jun deepened into jealousy. Taiyi later admitted that Di Jun's Heavenly Court, its destiny, and the reverence shown to his brother were what he truly envied 96.

Taiyi was also cruel and self-indulgent as the Demon Court declined. He harshly berated his Demon Sages, neglected the court's worsening military situation, and continued indulging in pleasure even after his allies and soldiers suffered severe losses 77 92. His greed, lust, rage, and obsession were conspicuous enough for Zulong and Kunpeng to judge his Dao heart as deeply corrupted 36 60.

His dependence on the system culminated in delusions of invincibility after it elevated him to the ninth level of the Primordial Great Golden Immortal realm. Immobilized before Pangu's true form and later condemned by Hongjun, Taiyi finally understood that he had been used as a pawn rather than recognized as the child of Heavenly Mandate 97 98.

Relationships

• Di Jun — Fellow Three-Legged Golden Crow and nominal elder brother.

Taiyi only learned during their conflict that Di Jun was likewise a transmigrator.

• Changxi — Xihe's younger sister, whom Taiyi also demanded as a Dao companion. Changxi refused and feared him; Taiyi ultimately accepted Xihe alone after Xihe's threat to resist at the cost of her life. Nuwa later removed her from the wedding battlefield with Xihe 61 75 76.
• Ghost Chariot — Demon Court subordinate who helped pressure Xihe and Changxi. He later defected and condemned Taiyi as unfit to rule 61 92 96.

• Fuxi and Nuwa — Taiyi sought Nuwa to officiate his wedding, but Fuxi extracted nine top-grade innate spiritual treasures as the price of agreement. Nuwa ultimately protected Xihe and Changxi after the wedding was attacked 75 76.
• Shichen — Shichen's Dao avatar secretly helped Taiyi break the pagoda's innate formation, intending for the system host to produce more opportunities for the Primordial World 46.
• Pangu — Pangu exposed Taiyi's false claim to Heavenly Mandate and completely immobilized him with his true form. Pangu initially intended to kill him with One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Daos, but allowed Hongjun to carry out the punishment instead to prevent further destruction to the Primordial World 98.
• Hongjun — Executed Taiyi after identifying the destructive cost of his system-derived power, though he preserved Taiyi's true spirit origin. Hongjun had already known that Di Jun was also an anomaly when Taiyi attempted to expose him 98.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Seizing the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Linglong Pagoda

Taiyi interrupted the struggle between the Three Pure Ones and Ancestral Witches at Mount Buzhou after his system issued a treasure-seizing mission. He used the Chaos Bell to assault the pagoda's formation, took the treasure when Shichen's Dao avatar secretly opened it, and abandoned Di Jun to the ensuing battle 46.

Founding the Demon Court

After Di Jun established the Heavenly Court, Taiyi answered by founding the Demon Court in Tang Valley. He used the Chaos Bell to suppress the court's fortune and proclaimed that Demon Race members who refused submission would be killed 61.

Godfall Realm Ambush

Taiyi attacked Di Jun from behind in the Godfall Realm, using the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Pearls to suppress him. He demanded that Di Jun surrender the Heavenly Court's fortune, but Di Jun refused and eventually drove Taiyi into retreat with the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler 63.

Coercing the Moon Star Marriage

Taiyi demanded that Xihe and Changxi become his Dao companions, threatening the Moon Star with the Demon Court's army. Xihe eventually agreed to marry him so Changxi could remain free, while Taiyi prepared a heavenly wedding and sought Nuwa's officiation 61 75.

Heavenly Wedding Upheaval

The Heavenly Court and Witch Clan attacked Taiyi's wedding. He was forced to defend himself against Di Jun, Dijiang, and the Ancestral Witches, then expended the Chaos Bell's origin and Demon Court fate to deploy the Great Sun Heaven-Burning Formation 76 77.

Nuwa protected Xihe and Changxi and took them away from the battlefield, preventing the coerced marriage from being completed amid the upheaval 76.

During the battle, Taiyi tried to persuade Di Jun to join him against the Witch Clan. Di Jun instead revealed that he too was a transmigrator and rejected any brotherly bond with Taiyi, leaving Taiyi isolated against his enemies 77.

Slaughter of the Human Race

In response to the Witch Clan's formidable bodies, Taiyi ordered the Demon Court to refine Human Race blood essence and souls into Witch-Slaying Swords. He personally refined hundreds of millions of humans into an ultimate Witch-Slaying Sword, driving several Demon Sages to defect 92.

Fall During the Witch–Demon War

Abandoned by much of the Demon Court, Taiyi fought Di Jun, the Heavenly Court, and the Ancestral Witches. He burned system origin to attain peak ninth-level Primordial Great Golden Immortal cultivation, but Pangu's arrival and Hongjun's intervention ended his resistance 96 97 98.

Pangu's true form immobilized Taiyi and prepared to erase him with One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Daos. Hongjun intervened because Pangu's attack would have devastated the Primordial World, then exposed Taiyi's system as a source of power extracted from the world's Golden Crow origin and fortune 98.

Hongjun's Immortal Dao Divine Punishment shattered Taiyi's formation, blasted away his Chaos Bell and pagoda, dispersed his primordial spirit, and destroyed his system. His body became a blazing sun, while his true spirit origin was retained for his eventual re-formation as the true Taiyi 98.
