Chapter 49: Emperor Jun personally visits Tian Shu Star, and the Star Clan enters the Heavenly Court.
Hongjun began to merge with the Dao, a process that would take a thousand years. Therefore, in order to avoid any unforeseen complications, the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao all closed their doors and remained indifferent to worldly affairs. This gave the Wu and Yao races the opportunity to expand their power, and the Yao race also turned its attention to the Starry Sky Clan.
To counter the invading demon army, the two giants of the Starry Sky Clan, Ziwei Star Lord and Doumu Yuanjun, met on Tian Shu Star. However, before they could reach a conclusion, Di Jun came knocking on their door.
"Di Jun? Why is he here?" Doumu Yuanjun was very surprised to hear Di Jun's voice. Now that the two sides are about to go to war, why would Di Jun, the demon emperor of the demon race, dare to come to her base camp? What is his intention?
"Yuanjun, now that Dijun has come to us, we can't just ignore him. Besides, Dijun has taken the initiative to come here, so he must want to talk to us. If we can avoid a great battle, that wouldn't be a bad thing," said Ziwei Xingjun. Now that Dijun, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, has come to us personally, it means there is still room for negotiation. Moreover, even if we fight, the chances of the Starry Sky Clan winning are extremely slim.
Doumu Yuanjun nodded in deep agreement and said, "Very well, let's see what Dijun is planning."
Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun personally welcomed Dijun in. When they saw that Dijun had come alone, they breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Dijun dared to come to Tian Shu Star alone meant that Dijun himself did not really want to fight.
Doumu Yuanjun welcomed Dijun into her Daoist temple, dismissed her attendants, and said to Dijun, "Demon Emperor, your demon race's army is pressing in, causing panic among my Starry Sky Clan. Now you have come to Tian Shu Star alone. What exactly does your demon race want?"
Di Jun said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanjun, you misunderstand. My demon race is not here to deal with the Starry Sky Clan. The reason for the large-scale gathering of our army is mainly to let you two fellow Daoists and the cultivators of the Starry Sky Clan witness the strength of my demon race. And I have come here today in the hope that the Starry Sky Clan can join the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing Di Jun's purpose, Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun exchanged a glance, and then Ziwei Xingjun said, "Demon Emperor, our Starry Sky Clan has no ambition to dominate the primordial world. We only wish to live peacefully in the starry sky. I'm afraid we will disappoint you."
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, I understand your thoughts, but we are currently in a time of great strife. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; it's all about resources and luck. You are one of the top powerful cultivators of the Starry Sky Clan, possessing the clan's luck, so cultivation is naturally not a problem for you. But what about the other cultivators of the Starry Sky Clan? What do they have? The Starry Sky Clan is one of the oldest races in the prehistoric world, existing since the time of the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts. In the past, the Three Venerables were incredibly powerful, and the Starry Sky Dynasty dominated a region. But now, any race in the prehistoric world can obtain more cultivation resources than the Starry Sky Clan. With this shift in power, in the long run, I'm afraid the Starry Sky Clan will be eliminated by the prehistoric world." Di Jun advised. Di Jun had done his homework on the history of the Starry Sky Clan. Although he hadn't experienced the Starry Sky Clan's glorious era, there were still many cultivators in the prehistoric world who survived the era of dynastic struggles. It wasn't difficult for Di Jun to know these things.
Di Jun's words deeply stung the hearts of Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun. In fact, they had seriously considered the development of the Starry Sky Clan, but the Starry Sky Clan suffered too many losses during the struggle for supremacy among the dynasties, and had not yet recovered its strength. Apart from Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun, who were both at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, the entire Starry Sky Clan had few, let alone a third Quasi-Saint, or even a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Especially after the power of the stars in the heavens was taken away by the demon race, the cultivation of the Starry Sky Clan became even more difficult. How to solve these problems had always been a question that Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun needed to consider.
Observing the changes in the expressions of Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun, Dijun knew that his words had worked, so he continued, "Fellow Daoists, nowadays, besides the Sages of the Heavens, the Wu and Yao races possess the most fortune in the Primordial World. The Wu race has long resided on the Primordial Continent and has little influence over the Starry Sky. However, my Yao race is different. Not only does my Yao race have a long-lasting fortune, but I also occupy the Heavenly Court and control the sun, moon, and stars of the Primordial World. As long as the Starry Sky race joins the Heavenly Court, they can use the Heavenly Court's fortune and the power of the stars to cultivate. I believe that it will not be long before there is a surge of talent. The Starry Sky race can also share in the cultivation resources obtained by my Yao race. In the future, when my Yao race defeats the Wu race and reclaims the Primordial Continent, the Starry Sky race will gain even more. I hope you two fellow Daoists will consider this carefully."
It has to be said that Di Jun is really good with words. Every sentence hits the nail on the head for Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun. The two of them are also very tempted. Although they do not have the ambition to dominate the prehistoric world, it does not mean that they do not want to go further. However, resources and fortune have tightly restricted the Starry Sky Clan. Now, as long as they join the Heavenly Court, these things will be readily available.
Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, clearly having already made up their minds, but there were still some conditions that needed to be agreed upon beforehand.
"Demon Emperor, I have another question. What will be the status of the Starry Sky Clan after they join the Heavenly Court?" asked Ziwei Star Lord. Although the Demon Clan can share a portion of the Heavenly Court's fortune and resources with the Starry Sky Clan, the amount varies and depends entirely on the Starry Sky Clan's status within the Heavenly Court. Therefore, Ziwei Star Lord hopes to secure a higher status for the Starry Sky Clan.
Upon hearing Ziwei Xingjun ask this question, Dijun knew that the matter had been settled, so he said, "Fellow Daoist Ziwei, I can guarantee you that the Starry Sky Clan will be on equal footing with the Demon Clan. After the Starry Sky Clan joins the Heavenly Court, I will return control of the celestial bodies to the Starry Sky Clan. In addition, I will confer upon Fellow Daoist Ziwei the title of Ziwei Emperor and Fellow Daoist Doumu the title of Yuanjun Holy Mother, with status equivalent to the Three Sovereigns of my Demon Clan (namely Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa), sharing the fortune of the Heavenly Court."
Di Jun's offer was quite generous. Although Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun were well aware that the Heavenly Court was centered on the demon race, and the possibility of truly achieving an equal status with the demon race was slim, they would be satisfied as long as they were roughly equal. Therefore, Ziwei Xingjun and Doumu Yuanjun nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, we are willing to join the Heavenly Court."
"Good!" Emperor Jun was very happy and said, "On behalf of the Heavenly Court, I welcome the Starry Sky Clan to join us. After returning to the Thirty-Three Heavens, I will immediately report to the Heavenly Dao and announce it to the Primordial World."
"Thank you for your trouble, Heavenly Emperor!" Now that they had decided to join the Heavenly Court, the way Ziwei Star Lord and Doumu Yuanjun addressed Dijun changed.
Having peacefully resolved the conflict with the Starry Sky Clan, Emperor Jun ordered a retreat. He then led Ziwei Xingjun, Doumu Yuanjun, and a group of Starry Sky Clan core members back to the Thirty-Third Heaven. There, he announced to the entire Primordial World and reported to the Heavenly Dao, officially bestowing upon Ziwei Xingjun the title of Ziwei Emperor and upon Doumu Yuanjun the title of Yuanjun Holy Mother, placing them on par with the Three Sovereigns. He also entrusted the control of the celestial sphere to the Starry Sky Clan.
With the addition of the Starry Sky Clan, the Heavenly Court's fortune has become even greater. With the addition of the two Quasi-Saints, Ziwei Star Lord and Doumu Yuanjun, the strength of the Demon Clan has reached a new level. In addition, Dijun also felt that his strength had increased, but unfortunately he had not yet found the key to the Three Corpses Merging into One.
Just as the demon race's strength was rising, a surprise from the primordial continent was about to shatter the tranquility of the entire world.
