Primordial World!

"After dreaming for thousands of years, am I Di Jiang or Dijiang?"

Dijiang opened his eyes, confusion filling them.

Ten years ago.

The Witch-Demon War.

That battle had turned the sky and earth dark, with rivers of blood and corpses piled like mountains.

The entire Primordial World had been shrouded in boundless killing intent.

At the time, Dijiang had been blinded by bloodlust, and the thought of dying together with Eastern Emperor Taiyi had taken root in his heart.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, his other siblings had saved him.

His injuries had been so severe that he had lain unconscious for ten years.

During that time,

he had also had a dream.

In the dream,

his name was Di Jiang.

He was a corporate wage slave on Blue Star.

And he had another strange label: a loser.

Every day, he fantasized about getting rich overnight or being kept by a rich, beautiful woman.

Every now and then, he would work hard to save a few months' worth of his hard-earned wages,

then head to a charity center and listen to a considerate young woman tell stories all night.

Of course, Di Jiang had his own principles.

Every day, he bought a two-yuan lottery ticket.

Not for any other reason.

He just wanted to contribute something to society.

What if—

he won?

Of course,

Di Jiang was also lonely inside.

Whenever the dead of night fell, he would stare at the planes in the sky and let loose with a fierce outburst.

Life was uneventful.

He had thought he was just a passerby,

until the appearance of a Primordial World novel

turned everything Di Jiang knew upside down.

Because

in the novel,

Di Jiang discovered a shocking secret.

He had seen the past, present, and future of the Primordial World.

Pangu was born.

He split heaven and earth apart.

The Dragon-Han Calamity.

The Demon-Witch Calamity.

The Witch Clan won.

And perished.

Though Houtu had eventually opened the Six Paths of Reincarnation,

from then on,

the Witch Clan never recovered.

And the so-called protagonists of heaven and earth were all a damn sham.

It would have been one thing if he hadn't known the truth, but the problem was that he knew everything.

Especially now.

Everything recorded in the little book was coming true, one thing after another.

All six disciples under Hongjun had become Sages.

The First Witch-Demon War had ended.

Next should come: Hongjun's Dao Integration.

Then the second and third Witch-Demon Wars.

Both sides would exhaust their reserves, and in the end, the entire army would be wiped out.

At the thought of this,

Dijiang broke into a cold sweat!

The Witch Clan had always fought heaven and earth, fearing nothing. But now, he was afraid.

The Six Sages and Hongjun—

they were an insurmountable mountain.

Even as the foremost member of the Witch Clan, he couldn't help feeling powerless.

Protagonists of heaven and earth. Fleshly Body Sainthood.

It was all a sham.

The greatest joke in the Primordial World.

They wanted the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan to fight to the death.

They would use the blood of both clans to cleanse the Immeasurable Tribulation from heaven and earth.

In short,

the enemy he faced now wasn't the Demon Clan.

It was the Sages behind this Immeasurable Tribulation.

And there were

six of them.

Six Sages!!!

And on top of that, Hongjun was about to undergo Dao Integration.

What was he supposed to do???

A dead end.

A situation with no chance of survival.

Though he knew the plot, he simply couldn't break out of the trap.

This situation

was worse than being killed.

"I am Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Today, I shall undergo Dao Integration."

"From this day on, there will be no Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Primordial World, only Heavenly Dao Hongjun."

Just then, heaven and earth resonated.

A terrifying force swept across the entire Primordial World.

Whether you were a Sage or an ant,

whether you hid within an array or inside a small world,

before this force, you had no choice but to bow your proud head.

"To prevent the beings of the Primordial World from suffering ruin, from this day on, the Witch Clan shall govern the land, and the Demon Clan shall rule the heavens."

"Both clans must take good care of heaven and earth. If heaven and earth bear witness, great merit will surely be bestowed."

"The seventh Sage of heaven and earth will come from among the protagonists of heaven and earth."

As all the beings of the Primordial World looked on in shock, Heavenly Dao Hongjun issued his decree.

"I am Di Jun of the Demon Clan. From this day onward, I establish the Heavenly Court and become its sovereign: the Heavenly Emperor."

"I am Tai Yi of the Demon Clan. From this day onward, I become the Eastern Emperor of the Heavenly Court."

As Heavenly Dao Hongjun issued his decree,

Di Jun and Tai Yi felt a stirring in their hearts.

With the River Diagram and Luo Writing in one hand and the Chaos Bell in the other,

they immediately swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Heavenly Dao responded, bestowing boundless merit.

The cultivation of the two demons

shot upward as if they were riding a rocket.

They rose from the Mid-Stage Quasi-Saint Realm to the peak of the Mid-Stage Quasi-Saint Realm in an instant.

They were just one step away

from reaching the late Quasi-Sage stage.

Seeing this, the other demons of the Demon Clan refused to fall behind.

"I am Fuxi of the Demon Clan. From this day on, I become Emperor Xi of the Heavenly Court!!"

"I am Kunpeng of the Demon Clan!"

"I am Xi He of the Demon Clan!"

"I am Chang Xi of the Demon Clan!"

As the Demon Clan continued to swear Heavenly Dao Oaths, more and more merit descended.

Some broke through by leaps and bounds in the Quasi-Sage Realm, while others made small advances.

Breakthroughs to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm were everywhere.

Even the Quasi-Sage Realm, a level as difficult to reach as heaven itself, was attained by demons who seized this boundless merit.

More and more beings from the Primordial World joined in swearing the oaths. After all, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

First came the Six Sages, then Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Now, no being could resist the temptation of Heavenly Dao Merit.

Before long, the Heavenly Court had begun to take shape.

"Is this forcing me to compete for supremacy over the Primordial Wilderness!!!"

Watching everything unfold before him, Dijiang's eyes nearly split with rage.

The Demon Clan could die for all he cared.

But what about his own Witch Clan?

Heavenly Dao Hongjun was determined to drive them to their deaths.

He had directly declared across the Primordial World that the Demon Clan would rule the heavens and the Witch Clan would govern the land.

If things continued at this rate, how could the Demon Clan possibly be satisfied with ruling the heavens alone?

[Ding, the Cowering System has activated.]

[Dao Ancestor Hongjun has undergone Dao Integration. His first decree was: the Demon Clan shall rule the heavens, and the Witch Clan shall govern the land.]

[Choice One: Defy fate and bravely embrace death. Reward: a Quasi-Saint Primordial Spirit of Demon Ancestor Luohu, at the same realm as the host's physical body.]

[Choice Two: Let things take their course and lie down to await death. Reward: a Quasi-Saint Primordial Spirit of Hongjun, at the same realm as the host's physical body.]

[Choice Three: Stay hidden and do nothing. Reward: a Quasi-Saint Primordial Spirit of Pangu, at the same realm as the host's physical body.]

Just then, a voice like the Great Dao suddenly rang out in his mind.

"A cheat! I actually got a cheat!"

Dijiang was overjoyed.

In the novels on Blue Star, cheats were all capable of defying heaven and changing fate.

And each of these three choices was more powerful than the last.

Demon Ancestor Luohu.

He had once contended with Hongjun for the Great Dao.

Though he had failed, his fearsome reputation still shook the ages.

Hongjun.

The teacher of the Six Sages, a Heavenly Dao Saint.

He was now the true number one in the Primordial World.

As for Pangu—

he had slain three thousand gods and demons and split heaven and earth apart.

"The Sages want to use the Witch Clan to eliminate the Immeasurable Tribulation. I refuse to let them use us."

"I had no choice before, but now!!"

"Cowering System, I choose three. My Witch Clan will stay hidden and do nothing."

As Dijiang made his choice, an earth-shaking power came into being within him.

Dijiang himself was at the early Mid-Stage Quasi-Saint Realm. The Pangu Primordial Spirit that had now come into being within him was also at the Mid-Stage Quasi-Saint Realm.

Though his physical body and Primordial Spirit were at the same level,

only after Dijiang had fully received and absorbed Pangu's Mid-Stage Quasi-Saint Primordial Spirit did he realize just how vast the gap could be between beings of the same realm.

That wasn't even counting the overwhelming battle experience.

Pangu's Primordial Spirit also contained countless cultivation methods.

Such as

weapon forging, alchemy, formations, the art of divining the secrets of heaven, and supreme secret techniques.
