Background / History
Dijun sought to strengthen the Demon Race by recruiting the Three Pure Ones, but their contemptuous refusal forced him to recognize that influence required strength. He successfully recruited Fuxi and Nuwa instead, granting them the positions of Xi Huang and Wa Huang. Nuwa's future sainthood made their allegiance especially valuable to his long-term plans. 12
During the conflict with East King Duke, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi pursued their enemy into Zifu Prefecture. East King Duke's attempt to unleash a sealed ancient Demon Commander backfired; the being killed him, then overwhelmed Dijun and Taiyi, forcing the two brothers to retreat. 82 83
Dijun later pursued supremacy over the Witch Clan. After discovering that weapons tempered with Human Race vital blood could pierce Witch bodies, he approved a covert operation against remote human tribes despite Fuxi's warning that Nuwa and Laozi could retaliate. 163 He also planned the Demon Race's military expansion after attaining sainthood, beginning with the Dragon Race before turning against the Witch Clan. 316 318
Sainthood
Dijun entered a mysterious passage in the Chaotic Void in pursuit of greater power. In the foreign realm beyond it, his laws and Solar True Fire vanished, leaving him powerless. A mysterious man offered him a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi not produced by the Heavenly Dao, in exchange for future cooperation once Dijun became a Saint. Dijun accepted despite recognizing the unknown figure's likely ulterior motives. 285 287
To prove the Dao, Dijun gathered the Demon Race in the Heavenly Realm and declared that the assembly was for his sainthood rather than war. He used a blood sacrifice of Demon Race beings, summoned Demon Race Destiny, and revealed merit connected to Nuwa's creation of humanity and Kunpeng's creation of writing. 310 312
His revelation of Hongmeng Purple Qi silenced the powers who had dismissed his attempt. By combining the Purple Qi, the two merits, and Demon Race Destiny, Dijun attained the Saintly Fruit Status. His ascension made the Demon Race the only faction described as having two Saints, with Nuwa later becoming a Demon Race Saint at his request. 313 315
Unlike Saints whose Purple Qi originated with Hongjun, Dijun was not bound to the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao. This made him an anomaly in Hongjun's and the Heavenly Dao's eyes, though they could not directly eliminate him because he belonged to the current era and was involved in the Calamity. 286 314 342
Appearance
Dijun can assume a massive Three-legged Golden Crow true form. In battle, he is surrounded by Solar True Fire capable of burning and corroding Witch Clan warriors into nothingness. 341
- Three-legged Golden Crow true form. 341
- Commands endless Solar True Fire. 341
- His Saint-level flames are regarded as stronger and more frightening than before his resurrection. 341
Personality
Dijun is ambitious, calculating, and intensely focused on the Demon Race's rise. He can suppress personal anger when a confrontation is strategically unwise, as shown when he allowed the Three Pure Ones to depart rather than provoke future Saints. 12
He is also ruthless in pursuit of power. He approved the use of captured humans to create weapons against the Witch Clan and accepted a stranger's dangerous bargain for independent Hongmeng Purple Qi. 163 287 Yet he can act cautiously when his position is unstable: after severely wounding Zhurong and Chi You, he stopped the Demon Gods from pursuing the retreating Witch Clan, wary of provoking Qin Mu or Hongjun. 342

- Chose to target the Dragon Race before the Witch Clan. 318
Equipment / Weapons / Items

Relationships
- Eastern Emperor Taiyi — Dijun's brother and closest military ally; they jointly pursued East King Duke and fought the ancient Demon Commander. 82 83
- Fuxi — Recruited by Dijun as Xi Huang; later opposed Dijun's plan to exploit Human Race vital blood. 12 163
- Nuwa — Recruited as Wa Huang; lent Dijun her merit for his ascension and later became a Demon Race Saint at his request. 12 288 315
- Kunpeng — Proposed covertly capturing humans for weapon production; Dijun approved the plan. Dijun also possessed Kunpeng's merit for creating words, causing Kunpeng resentment. 163 311 312
- Qin Mu — A Saint-level enemy who fought Dijun directly and killed him before his first resurrection. 329 340 341
- Dao Ancestor Hongjun — Viewed Dijun as an anomalous variable; intervened to preserve the Witch Clan's balance and saved Zhurong and Chi You from him. 314 342
- Mysterious Man / Di Yi — The unknown figure who gave Dijun non-Heavenly-Dao Hongmeng Purple Qi, revived him with Origin Power after Qin Mu killed him, and regarded him as a useful chess piece. 287 341 360

Unorthodox Sainthood

Conflict with Qin Mu and Resurrection
Dijun fought Qin Mu using the Eastern Emperor Bell and was killed. His mysterious patron expended Origin Power to restore him on the Sun Star, revealing that Dijun's survival did not stem from normal Heavenly Dao Saint immortality. 329 340 341
Witch–Demon War and Final Death
After returning, Dijun devastated the retreating Witch Clan with Solar True Fire and severely wounded Zhurong and Chi You. In the final war, he used the Witch-Slaying Sword against the Pangu Incarnation; the collision with the Twelve Ancestral Witches' sacrificial power annihilated both sides. 341 342 359
