Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation
Chapter 86 - 86 81 Emperor Jun

86: Chapter 81 Emperor Jun 86: Chapter 81 Emperor Jun Upon hearing Di Jun’s question, Hong Jun gazed into the distance, sighed, and said, “Fate.”

“Fate is ever-changing and unpredictable; how can one speak of anything as being predetermined?”

“Yet once destiny is established, the grand trend is inescapable, and the unpredictability of fate is that thread of hope between Heaven and Earth.”

Hong Jun’s eyes looked far away, as he reflected upon his own situation.

After converging with the Dao, he still maintained that thread of a chance for escape.

“Once destiny is upon you, you become the protagonist of the era.

Whether you can exit gracefully from this era depends on your own fortune.”

Hearing Hong Jun’s words, Di Jun thought of the recently encountered East King, The Queen Mother of the West, and of the tales of Nuwa creating humans, the six Saints, and more from his past life.

Were they also favored by destiny, bearing its great momentum?

In an instant, Di Jun felt a sense of clarity in his mind, as if grasping onto something.

An enigmatic Law broke through the spiritual defenses and Time Law set up by Hong Jun, swirling around Di Jun.

Di Jun, feeling this unknown Law, couldn’t help but secretly think: This is…

the Law of Destiny.

“Law of Destiny!”

Hong Jun’s tone shifted from calm to full of surprise.

This aura was definitely the Law of Destiny.

Only after becoming a Saint did he capture a trace of destiny’s trajectory and comprehend the Law of Destiny.

He had not expected that Di Jun, within the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, could understand the Law of Destiny just from a few words of his own.

Such talent, such opportunity, was truly enviable.

Di Jun, sensing the Law of Destiny, finally thought of the farce that had occurred in Purple Cloud Palace earlier; he had felt a moment of enlightenment, however fleeting it had been.

That fleeting inspiration was related to the Law of Destiny.

The saga in Purple Cloud Palace, much like the legends from his past life, made Di Jun reflect on such fate and opportunity.

Di Jun, who had grasped the Law of Destiny, now had his own understanding of destiny and fate, enlightening his mind and dispelling his confusion.

“Thank you for the Saintly guidance.”

Di Jun gathered the Law of Destiny, and while saying so, he sincerely bowed in respect to Hong Jun.

“The comprehension of the Law of Destiny is related to me, yet at the same time not much so.

It’s more about your own talent, your own opportunity.”

“However, since the opening of the Primordial Heaven and Earth, the outcome for those who carry destiny has not always been good.

I hope you can make a difference.”

Hong Jun looked at Di Jun as he spoke.

“Di Jun will sincerely heed the Saint’s teachings.”

“Do you wish to become the Demon Emperor?”

Hong Jun asked Di Jun once more.

“Heeding the Saint’s decree, Di Jun is willing to become the Demon Emperor.”

As Di Jun said these words, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

He looked up and saw that as soon as he spoke those words, he had already returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.

And after Di Jun’s response, Taiyi was incredibly excited in his heart.

The Demon Emperor, his brother was a Demon Emperor appointed by the Saint.

Beside him, Fu Xi was also happy for Di Jun, the two of them had just enjoyed a pleasant chat.

Other Primordial Beings in Purple Cloud Palace had varying expressions, but most of them took Emperor Jun seriously to heart.

Although both Di Jun and the East King were designated by the Daoist Ancestor, the distinction between them was considerable.

Most powerful beings of the Primordial could disregard the influential East King, but none dared to overlook Di Jun, who held no power.

The reason was quite simple: because Di Jun was known as the only Primordial Golden Immortal in the Primordial, with the most potent strength.

At this moment, Taiching Laozi’s tranquil heart couldn’t help but ripple slightly, the reason being Yuan Shi’s words just now.

Yuan Shi’s complexion was very unsightly.

Tong Tian, on the other hand, felt nothing special and was instead looking at the spirited Di Jun with much envy.

The East King’s face was equally grim.

Di Jun again, why is it always him every time!

And this time, it was clearly different, as a Saint had commanded him to establish a force.

Head of Male Immortals, Demon Emperor, how should the status and hierarchy between them be determined?

The Twelve Ancestor Witches naturally also heard this news, but they didn’t care much about it.

It’s nothing more than another power emerging in the Primordial world, it doesn’t hinder their search for food.

Zhu Jiuyin wanted to use his Innate Divine Ability to observe the long river of future time.

Unfortunately, now there is only the Demon Emperor title, but no Demon Clan to be seen, and Zhu Jiuyin could only see a vast expanse of uncertainty.

In the perception of everyone in the Purple Cloud Palace, the aura emanating from Di Jun became increasingly conspicuous and his authority increasingly profound.

After observing everything, Di Jun couldn’t help but look towards Hong Jun, only to see him nod subtly in his direction.

At the moment he agreed to become the Demon Emperor, Di Jun felt an inexplicable surge of fortune bless him.

He instantly realized that this was the blessing of destiny.

He hurriedly urged the River Map and Luo Book to suppress this fortune, to prevent it from slipping away.

Moreover, he could feel that this fortune had a continuous sensation, not all of it bestowed upon himself.

He understood that although he is now the Demon Emperor, the Demon Clan has yet to emerge.

Under everyone’s gaze, Di Jun did not sit back on his meditation mat but instead looked at Hong Jun and asked.

“May I ask the Saint, what is a ‘Demon’?”

Di Jun did not wish to designate all beings of the Primordial Heaven and Earth as the Demon Clan like he did in his previous life.

Because Hong Jun had already said that destiny is not just a divine favor, but also a responsibility.

Di Jun believed he did not have the ability to bear the responsibility of the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, not all Primordial Beings need Di Jun to take responsibility, as some are not worthy.

Hong Jun looked at Di Jun and said calmly: “Since you are already the Demon Emperor, you should govern all matters of the Demon Clan.

What constitutes a ‘Demon’ should be determined by you personally, you need not ask me.”

Hearing Hong Jun’s words, Di Jun nodded and did not continue to inquire, replying: “Thank you, Saint, for your guidance.”

After speaking, he sat back on his meditation mat.

The matters of the Demon Clan are not urgent; after returning, they will be carefully considered and discussed.

Hong Jun’s eyes swept over the three thousand beings within the Purple Cloud Palace.

All beings unconsciously tensed up, while also presenting their best state, hoping to be the next one appointed by the Saint.

The East King, The Queen Mother of the West, Di Jun, could the next one be me?

The majority of beings held this mindset, after all, it was a divine appointment by the Saint.

Unfortunately, to the disappointment of many, Hong Jun did not appoint any more beings.

“The time of three thousand years has passed, and the first sermon concludes.”

Hong Jun said.

“After three thousand Kalpas, the Purple Cloud Palace will again manifest in the Chaos, beginning the second sermon.

I hope everyone can arrive on time.”

A Kalpa consists of 129,600 years, Di Jun silently calculated.

“For the next two sermons, the seating will be arranged as they are today.”

No sooner had these words fallen than the figure of Hong Jun was no longer in the Purple Cloud Palace.

After hearing Hong Jun’s words, Kun Peng’s complexion was very unsightly; he realized that he had missed a tremendous opportunity.
