One could even say that the entire Demon Realm had become a pawn in Hongjun's hands.
So they could not understand what he intended to do at all.
But regardless, he would never let an opportunity to become a Saint slip away.
"Fellow Daoist Stone Spirit, guard me while I cultivate. I'm going in."
As the rules of the Great Dao steadily stabilized, Demon Emperor Dijun began trying to merge with the Demon Realm's Great Dao.

Everyone watched him in astonishment.
"Huh? His Majesty the Demon Emperor seems to have become a Saint. Why wasn't there any commotion?"
"It's true. That's a Saint's aura! The fluctuations of a Saint are emanating from him, so natural and effortless, like water flowing into a channel once it's full. But why hasn't the Heavenly Dao rewarded him?"
"Where's the merit? Where's the karmic fortune? Why is there nothing at all?" Everyone had these questions, and so did Demon Emperor Dijun.

Shocked, Wang Shi looked toward the Purple Firmament Palace.
