Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation
Chapter 85 - 85 80 Such Is Destiny

85: Chapter 80: Such Is Destiny 85: Chapter 80: Such Is Destiny “Not willing to do it?”

Hong Jun repeated Di Jun’s words, then fell into silence.

This made Di Jun feel the atmosphere becoming somewhat heavy.

Now the communication between him and Hong Jun was through the power of spirit, his perception was even more sensitive.

The outside world had come to a halt, and the atmosphere inside was somewhat tense.

Hong Jun looked at Di Jun and now understood why the Demon Clan had not yet emerged.

After a long while, Hong Jun made a move again.

Di Jun sensed the environment around him changing once more; he seemed to be standing beside Hong Jun.

Before him, a majestic golden lion prayed helplessly to the sky, with an endless number of beasts standing behind it.

“Although Heavenly Dao was weak at that time, Beast Emperor Shen Ni still had a heavenly mandate, and the birth of the Fierce Beasts, aside from the remnants of Chaos Gods and Demons, was also nurtured by Primordial Heaven and Earth.”

“If Shen Ni had not chosen to stand with the Chaos Gods and Demons back then, today’s Primordial might have had a different outcome.”

Before Di Jun could speak, the scene changed again.

Three images appeared before Di Jun’s eyes at the same time.

In the first image, a Nine-clawed Golden Dragon soared up and down, with countless members of the Dragon Clan following its lead, surrounded by many different species.

In the second image, a Nine-colored Phoenix stood in the center of a volcano, with rolling lava flowing endlessly, and countless members of the Phoenix Clan following her and soaring high.

In addition to that, a myriad of bird species submitted to the Phoenix Clan.

In the third image, a Mo Qilin stood atop a mountain peak, leading the Qilin Clan with countless beasts around.

“Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Founding Qilin also had heavenly mandates upon them.”

Di Jun looked at Hong Jun with incomprehension in his eyes; the three major clans competed for fortune, and they also had heavenly mandates upon them?

Hong Jun seemed to see Di Jun’s confusion and explained again.

“If they were not favored by heavenly mandate, why could the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan stand at the pinnacle of Primordial at that time?”

“Having the heavenly mandate, all matters are suitable.”

“Even I, Luo Hou, and various Dao friends had to avoid the limelight at the time, right?”

“The Ancestral Dragon was meant to lead all scale-bearing life in Primordial.”

“The Primordial Phoenix governed all the birds in Primordial.”

“The Founding Qilin was the leader of all beast life in Primordial.”

Hong Jun couldn’t help but shake his head and said: “What a pity, the final battle between the three clans buried their era.”

With that, a complex look appeared on Hong Jun’s face.

“Their era ended, and ours began.”

Di Jun understood Hong Jun’s words; the great calamity of the Dragon-Han had ended, and the struggle between the Dao and demons had begun.

“Both Luo Hou and I were favored by heaven, it’s just a pity we both chose the wrong paths.”

Hearing this, Di Jun’s heart was filled with renewed confusion.

However, Hong Jun did not explain to Di Jun but thought to himself.

If initially, he had not hidden himself and directly led the Dao and taught in Primordial.

If Luo Hou had not conquered by force but instead spread the Dao in the Western Primordial, their endings might not have been so dire.

Although Hong Jun did not explain, the scene before Di Jun’s eyes changed again.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and Hong Jun appeared in the scene, with rolling purple clouds above them and lightning constantly interwoven within.

Di Jun immediately understood; this was the image of the original great battle between the Dao and demons.

In the image, the purple clouds revealed a huge purple eye.

Suddenly, Di Jun felt a formidable divine might descending upon this place, the pressure was immense.

A broken Jade Dishware flew out from within Hong Jun and the pressure instantly vanished.

“`

Creation Jade Disc.

Di Jun looked at the broken jade disc, his heart couldn’t help but ponder.

The oppressive aura had just dispersed when Di Jun heard another voice.

“Hong Jun, you’re actually still reminiscing about that moment when you were compelled to follow the Heavenly Dao.”

A black silhouette abruptly appeared here.

Luo Hou!

Di Jun’s heart cried out, as his vigilance surged.

Before Di Jun could react, with a wave of Hong Jun’s sleeve, the black silhouette suddenly vanished.

In the Outer Primordial realm.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, looking at the Chaos, couldn’t help but say, “This old Taoist Hong Jun has grown stronger again.”

“If it weren’t for the anomaly in the Heavenly Dao, I wouldn’t have discovered that he was actually recalling that moment.”

Hong Jun became a Saint, and Luo Hou was not angered.

Because with the emergence of a Saint, he found that the path ahead for the Outer Heaven Demons was gradually becoming clear at this moment.

Purple Cloud Palace.

Di Jun had not expected that the appearance of this segment of image would entail so many matters.

But Luo Hou’s earlier remark that even Hong Jun the elder was compelled to follow the Heavenly Dao deeply puzzled him.

Compelled?

Was he compelled to become a Saint?

Under these circumstances, Di Jun developed a very strong interest in this segment of image.

Without external interference, Di Jun smoothly watched the entire segment.

He saw the two streaks of light emitting from those huge purple pupils, and he saw the expressions of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and Hong Jun the elder.

He also realized that he and the multitude of Primordial Beings had misunderstood the situation back then.

When Demon Ancestor Luo Hou shouted “So decrees the Heavenly Dao,” everyone thought that it was with the help of the Heavenly Dao that Hong Jun the elder won the victory for the Daoist sect.

In fact, it was just the Heavenly Dao’s arrangement for the last conflict between Dao and Demons.

No wonder Luo Hou said he was compelled to follow the Heavenly Dao.

Having witnessed everything, Di Jun couldn’t help but feel unbalanced.

The Heavenly Dao is inescapable, could my own death and disappearance be inevitable?

No!

Even if the Heavenly Dao decrees it, I should still fight for a glimmer of hope for myself.

“Dare to ask the Saint, the various things you showed me, Shen Ni offering sacrifices to heaven, the three clans withdrawing, and you and Demon Ancestor following the Heavenly Dao, are all these determined by the Heavenly Dao?”

Di Jun looked at Hong Jun the elder with a questioning gaze.

He had thought that by not becoming the Demon Emperor, he could escape fate, yet now Hong Jun the elder told him that such was the Heavenly Dao.

At this time, Hong Jun the elder did not mind Di Jun’s attitude and slowly said, “Heavenly mandate is not something you can avoid just because you do not wish to fulfill it.”

“The heavenly mandate on one is not only divine favor but also a responsibility that cannot be evaded.”

“Even if you want to escape, various reasons will draw you back to the right path.”

“For example, I am now persuading you who wishes to escape.”

Seeing that Di Jun was still silent, Hong Jun the elder continued, “As for the matters like Shen Ni’s sacrifice to heaven, the retreat of the three clans, friend Luo Hou becoming the Outer Heaven Demon, my teachings in the Primordial Heaven and Earth, and the unification of the Dao.”

“Besides the heavenly mandate, all have their own causes; not everything is due to the heavenly mandate.”

“One cannot attribute everything that happens to ‘So decrees the Heavenly Dao, so what can be done?'”

“The Heavenly Dao is simply that, the Heavenly Dao; one’s mistakes cannot be blamed on it.”

At this point, Hong Jun the elder couldn’t help but recall the desolation of the Western Primordial, their greatest error.

Hearing Hong Jun the elder’s words, Di Jun’s eyes immediately brightened, and he eagerly asked, “Saint, isn’t the heavenly mandate a predetermined fate?”
