The Might of Heavenly Fate, Dijun Understood Better Than Anyone

Western Lands, Spirit Platform Mountain.

Zhu Yin got up and walked out of the Dao Field.

Upon seeing the newcomer, he raised an eyebrow and asked the question knowingly.

"May I ask what brings the Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empress, and His Eastern Emperor the Eastern Emperor here?"

Looking at Zhu Yin, Dijun's expression was complicated.

Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. Who could have imagined that his own bloodline's Life Force would fall on Spirit Platform Mountain, and that he would need this opponent's help even more?

Knowing full well that Zhu Yin was pretending not to understand, Dijun couldn't get angry. He could only suppress his temper, lower his posture, and force out a smile.

"Congratulations Zhu Yin, on your further advancement in cultivation! Your radiance surpasses even that of the past. We have come here for our child. We beg your mercy, Sage, to entrust our child to us. We will repay you handsomely."

Zhu Yin shook her head, which Dijun misinterpreted as a rejection.

The bell at Eastern Emperor Taiyi's waist jingled slightly, indicating that if Zhu Yin had clearly refused, he would immediately launch a strong attack on Spirit Platform Mountain.

Xihe was even more excited, wanting to say something, but Dijun waved his hand to stop her, wanting to observe further and wait for the right moment to act.

Zhu Yin glanced at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, then deliberately ignored him, stepped aside to make way, and explained.

"Although I saved a Golden Crow, its physical body had been destroyed by the Mystic Ice Divine Arrow, leaving only a part of its Primordial Spirit and essence."

"Later, due to various circumstances, this matter took another turn, which I cannot explain in a short time. You three will know once you have witnessed it yourself."

Dijun then realized their misunderstanding had almost led to a conflict. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, if they had acted rashly and clashed, with the bloodline in their hands, it would have backfired and been a greater loss than a gain.

Afterwards, they followed Zhu Yin into Spirit Platform Mountain.

Although the mountain scenery was beautiful, full of spiritual energy and remarkable creation, neither Dijun, Xihe, nor Eastern Emperor Taiyi were in the mood to appreciate it.

Zhu Yin was also very perceptive and led them straight to the mountain peak.

Nourished by the Upper-grade Grotto-heaven Blessed Land and the Filth-Cleansing Spring, the Flame Mulberry Tree grows ever more lush and verdant, its trunk gnarled and twisted, its leaves vibrant and colorful, resembling a magnificent sea of fire, with a touch of ethereal beauty.

As you approach the mountaintop, a pool of hot spring comes into view.

Steaming hot, shrouded in mist.

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from the spring, the three of them, including Dijun, were all deeply moved. They could tell that this spring was formed from the corpse of the Golden Crow.

Because of the unique terrain formed by Tang Valley and the Eastern Sea, the ten Golden Crow had Water-Fire mutually generating within their bodies, which helped them better control the Solar True Flame. Therefore, after they perished, they turned into hot springs.

Overwhelmed with grief, Xihe burst into tears.

Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were also feeling bad.

They continued their journey with Zhu Yin and finally stopped under the Flame Mulberry Tree. Dijun immediately recognized the relationship between this tree and the Fusang Tree.

Despite being amazed by Zhu Yin's abilities, he had no time for sentimentality. Seeing a large jade rooster nesting on a treetop, Di Jun looked curious. Zhu Yin didn't explain much, but simply nodded slightly to the rooster.

The next moment, the rosy light shimmered, and the Jade Chicken transformed into the form of Bi Lan.

Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes gleamed as they discerned the relationship Bi Lan and the Sun Star, realizing that the latter could control the Yang Wind and the morning glow.

If he hadn't already been taken in by Zhu Yin, they would have sensed his presence and definitely would have taken him under their wing, carefully nurtured him, and appointed him as the Sun Guardian Deity.

After Bi Lan stepped aside, Zhu Yin raised her hand and took a jade egg into her hand, immediately drawing the attention of Dijun, Xihe, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"This is... Little Eight!"

Xihe joy.

She could sense a familiar presence within the egg.

After their initial joy, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi communicated with the Heavenly Dao and quickly understood the reason behind it, their expressions becoming somewhat complicated.

The Primordial Spirit is still Little Eight.

But the bloodline has already changed.

It has some connection with the Jade Chicken before it, and because it has been purified and integrated with a drop of residual Golden Crow blood from the Filth-Cleansing Spring, it still shares some blood ties with them, becoming a special creature in the world.

Xihe, however, did not seem to care about this.

In his eyes, all that mattered was that Little Eight was safe and sound.

No matter what form they take, they will all be her offspring.

"Many thanks to the merciful Sage of Zhu Yin for saving my son."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have had this sliver of Life Force."

Dijun expressed his gratitude sincerely, every word coming from the bottom of his heart.

Regardless of their past grievances, it is a fact that Little Eight was saved by him.

"This child has a connection with the Western Lands."

"Regardless of his identity, I will save him."

Zhu Yin spoke the truth.

He intervened to save the day purely because Golden Crow and Bi Lan were destined to be together; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter.

Dijun was naturally aware of this.

But Little Eight survived because of Zhu Yin, that's undeniable.

After a moment's thought, just as he was about to take out a treasure to express his gratitude, the tacit understanding between the brothers over the years allowed Eastern Emperor Taiyi to take out his gift first.

"I know that the Sage possesses a Spacetime Bell, which is also Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Void Shuttle and the Time Disc. Both possess thirty-six Innate Dao Restrictions and are of the same origin as the Spacetime Bell. This should allow the treasures in the Sage's possession to reach even greater heights. Thank you, Sage, for saving Little Eight..."

Zhu Yin did not refuse the gifts of gratitude offered by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and waved his hand to put away the two spiritual treasures.

Treasure delivered to your doorstep—why not take it?

Besides, this is what he deserves.

Zhu Yin felt no guilt whatsoever, taking it as a matter of course.

Even if they didn't expect a reward when they first saved the Golden Crow, they should have thought about it afterwards.

With their business concluded, Dijun and the others were eager to return home and were about to take their leave when Zhu Yin suddenly spoke.

"Since the Heavenly Emperor has come to our door, it saves this humble Daoist from making a trip."

"Have the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor noticed the changes in the Sun Star?"

Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were puzzled. They immediately focused their attention and sensed the surroundings. After a moment, they opened their eyes and focused their gaze on Bi Lan, their expressions uncertain.

Because of the fall of the ten Golden Crow, they were somewhat flustered and their energy was largely diverted. For a moment, they had no interest in paying attention to other things. After Zhu Yin reminded them, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The Golden Crow Clan has temporarily lost the favor of the Sun Star, but this Jade Chicken in front of us has received half of the Sun Star's fortune and a three-thousand-year destiny.

During this period, he was in charge of this supreme star, responsible for its rising in the east and setting in the west, and even had the qualification to enter and leave the Sun Star to cultivate there.

After calming down, Dijun spoke with a sigh.

"The will of Heaven cannot be defied."

"In that case, the three thousand years of the Sun Star will be handed over to Spirit Platform Mountain. I believe that the esteemed disciple of the Zhu Yin Sage will surely bring blessings to the Primordial Wilderness."

It wasn't that he didn't want to refuse, but that he couldn't.

After the successive births of saints, the Witch and Demon Clans were able to continue to hold their positions as the protagonists of heaven and earth. This was not only because they had top-notch formations to suppress their fortune and deter external enemies, making them capable of fighting against saints, but also because they were blessed with the Mandate of Heaven, giving them an aura that was at its zenith, causing even saints to give way.

Dijun understood the power of destiny better than anyone else.

That's why he agreed.

Of course, there are other reasons as well.

For example, the destiny is only three thousand years, which will not affect the Witch-Demon Final Battle.

For example, Bi Lan is considered another mother goddess of Little Eight, so she should be given some respect.
