Chapter 110: Chapter 110, Dreaming

Di Jun waved his hand, much like time flowing in reverse, all fragments flew up and gathered toward their respective places. In the blink of an eye, everything was restored to its original state; tables and chairs settled back, and on top of the tables were neatly placed tea cups, still emitting steam from the tea within.

Di Jun’s hoarse and sorrowful voice was heard: "Please come in!"

The palace doors creaked open, and Fu Xi walked in from outside, bowing and saying, "I have seen Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I have seen Your Majesty the Demon Queen!"

Di Jun quickly stepped forward, held Fu Xi by the arms to lift him up, and said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, I’ve said before, we are of the same generation and should address each other as equals. There’s no need for such formalities."

Fu Xi stood up following the motion, and said solemnly, "Since I have joined the Demon Court, proper hierarchy must be respected."

"We can interact as equals in private," Di Jun forced a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, have you come for a specific matter?"

Fu Xi advised, "The Demon Queen has fallen, please restrain your grief, Your Majesties! The Demon Court still needs both of you to take charge."

Di Jun sighed deeply, clenched his fists, eyes reddening with sorrow, and said, "I have known Xi He for dozens of epochs, became Daoist couple with her, she bore me ten children, and I unified the Demon Clan for her, ruling over all under heaven.

Never would I have thought that she and our nine children would consecutively fall to the Witch Clan’s hands, my feud with the Witch Clan is irreconcilable, this blood debt must be repaid with their blood."

Fu Xi quickly said, "Your Majesty, please do not act rashly."

"I am not being impulsive, my heart is already dead, all that remains is hatred."

Di Jun suddenly knelt halfway to the ground, clasped his hands together and said, "I am willing to leave the position of Demon Emperor to you, Fellow Daoist, only asking that you accompany me to seek an audience with Nu Wa Niangniang, to acquire from her the dharma gate to annihilate the Witch Clan."

Fu Xi hurriedly bent down to help Di Jun up, saying, "I have never had any intentions towards the Demon Court, please do not mention such words again in the future."

Di Jun stood up with the aid of Fu Xi, looking utterly desolate as if his heart had died.

Fu Xi pondered for a moment and then said, "As for the dharma gate to annihilate the Witch Clan, that is precisely why I have come, for Nu Wa Niangniang has imparted a method!"

Di Jun and Taiyi both showed a flurry of emotions, their gaze locking onto Fu Xi.

Fu Xi spoke gravely, "Do you know of the Human Clan?"

Di Jun replied, "Of course, they are the race created by Nu Wa Niangniang, a brotherly race to our Demon Clan, and we have always looked after the Human Clan."

"When Nu Wa Niangniang created the Human Clan, she infused them with the Saint Essence Blood. By massively slaughtering the Human Clan, one can refine the Saint Blood from their bloodline and forge a Divine Weapon capable of breaking the physical bodies of the Ancestor Witches."

Di Jun and Taiyi both had dramatic changes in expression. A Divine Weapon capable of breaking the flesh of the Ancestor Witches? The key to defeating the Witch Clan lies within the weak Human Clan?!

Taiyi hesitated and said, "But, that is still the race created by Nu Wa Niangniang, won’t such actions displease the Niangniang?"

Fu Xi said with a smile, "Niangniang will later become the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Sect, naturally prioritizing the Demon Clan, the mere Human Clan is but a race created by the Niangniang as a blood sustenance for the Demon Clan!"

Di Jun bowed deeply, his excitement indescribable, and said, "Thank you, Niangniang. I, Di Jun, hereby promise that from now on, our Demon Clan will hold Niangniang in the highest regard, if I fail this vow, Niangniang may take my life!"

Taiyi also bowed deeply.

Fu Xi nodded, smiling as he said, "I will convey this to Niangniang! Firstly, congratulations to both Your Majesties on the imminent rise of the Demon Clan to the distinguished position of Heaven and Earth Main Character."

Di Jun stood up emotionally and said, "I also thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your planning! When our Demon Clan defeats the Witch Clan, Fellow Daoist will be one of our Demon Court’s Three Emperors."

Fu Xi clasped his hands together and gratefully said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"There’s another message Niangniang has passed on."

"Please speak~"

"Niangniang wants the goddess from the Taiyin Star to be free from worries."

Di Jun furrowed his brows deeply, sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. She is just another existence of Xi He, how could I possibly trouble her?"

"That is good. I have an appointment with Kunpeng Demon Master, so I will take my leave now."

Di Jun and Taiyi saw Fu Xi off from the great hall. After Fu Xi stepped out of the hall, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a deep weariness in his eyes.

Within the Demon Palace, the smiles also slowly faded from the faces of Di Jun and Taiyi as they watched Fu Xi depart.

Di Jun waved his hand, and the palace doors thunderously closed.

Taiyi asked, "Elder brother, how much truth lies in the words of Fu Xi, our Fellow Daoist?"

Di Jun thought for a moment and said, "They should all be true. The struggle among the Saints involves Qi Fortune. Nuwa needs our Demon Clan, so the Mother Goddess requires us to defeat the Witch Clan and become the Main Character of Heaven and Earth."

"That is to say, we can slaughter part of the Human Clan to refine a Divine Weapon to kill the Witch Clan."

Di Jun stated gravely, "Be more cautious around Fu Xi in the future!"

Taiyi furrowed his brows and asked, "Why? Hasn’t he always been scheming on behalf of our Demon Clan?"

"He has consistently referred to her as the ’Mother Goddess,’ whereas before, he always called her my sister."

Taiyi’s eyes widened in surprise as he said, "Elder brother, are you suggesting that he has had a falling-out with the Mother Goddess?"

Di Jun nodded and said coldly, "The Mother Goddess consented to our slaughter of the Human Clan to refine a Divine Weapon against the Witches. Fu Xi must have objected, or else there wouldn’t have been a fallout. He is revered by the Human Clan as a Holy Envoy; his heart is not fully with our Demon Clan."

Taiyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Elder brother, I understand!"

A cold light flickered in Di Jun’s eyes as he said, "In this massacre of the Human Clan, none shall be spared, not a single one."

"Not a single one? How should we explain this to the Mother Goddess?"

"Everything is for the sake of defeating the Witch Clan."

"Will the Mother Goddess believe this?"

"Having gone to such lengths, she has no choice but to believe it.

Preserving the Human Clan will only lead to future troubles. If our Demon Clan were to fall, the Mother Goddess would have another option. By annihilating the Human Clan, we not only sever Fu Xi’s hopes but also become the sole choice for the Mother Goddess."

Taiyi nodded and said pensively, "I understand." Then changing the subject, he asked, "What should we do with the one on Taiyin Star?"

"For now, leave her be. Our focus is to deal with the Witch Clan."

"Good!"

...

In Three Lights Immortal Island, within the Bird’s Nest of Tao Palace, Bai Jin was swimming freely in the steaming hot pool—breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, dog paddle—and then sat comfortably on the edge of the pool, indulging in the hot spring, dozing off unwittingly.

In the dream, Bai Jin transformed into a white crane, shuttling through the sea of clouds—in one moment, drawing a heart within White Cloud, and in another, punching a hole through it.

Thud~

Bai Jin, as the white crane, flew through a white cloud and suddenly collided with a vast gate, becoming dizzy from the impact. A flash of light turned her back into human form, and she fell seated in front of the door.

Clutching her head, Bai Jin cried, "That hurts!" She quickly stood up from the steps, looking up to see three large characters on the plaque above the gate: ’Nuwa Palace.’

"Eh~ How did I arrive at Nuwa Palace?" Bai Jin bowed and called out loudly, "Disciple seeks an audience with Nuwa."

"Mother Goddess, are you at home?"

Not a single reply was heard.
