Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

The Book of Changes is clearly trying to drag itself down with it, which is truly despicable.

"You filthy birds, you broke your promise first, what do you want now?"

Dijiang roared at Taiyi and Dijun without any politeness.

These words made the two men blush and turn red in the face, like overripe tomatoes.

Their purpose in coming here was to deal with the human race.

But how can one say such a reason?

They can't exactly say that their race came here because they were captured and raised as livestock.

Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock in the entire prehistoric world?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Seeing Kunpeng's disheveled appearance, he was even more furious and couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"That piece of trash!"

The situation is now clear: the demon race has suffered another crushing defeat, being repeatedly defeated by the human race.

Since the emergence of the Book of Changes, the human race seems to have become even more bizarre.

It seems to grow stronger when faced with a stronger opponent.

No matter who comes to challenge him, they cannot defeat him.

Instead, they will grow stronger through battle.

"Release Kunpeng, and let's go."

Di Jun suppressed his anger and looked coldly at Zhou Yi.

After saying that, the powerful aura of the three-legged golden crow rushed towards Zhou Yi, attempting to force him into submission.

Zhou Yi, however, showed no fear and stood firmly in place, with the divine mandate of the human race appearing behind him.

This time, the situation was completely different from before; the Dharma image emitted a dazzling light.

Driven by the Mandate of Heaven, the power of the I Ching has risen rapidly, like a rocket launch.

Humanity's destiny has reached an unprecedented height, making the Dharma form appear almost real and tangible.

"You want me to let him go? Not so easy." Zhou Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "If you don't show some sincerity today, I'll use it for barbecue."

"Seriously, using Kunpeng to make barbecue would definitely taste amazing," Zhou Yi continued to tease. "Demon God Dijiang, should we invite Brother Zhusong over too, so we can all try my cooking?"

Upon hearing this, Dijiang nodded involuntarily. Although he knew in his heart that he didn't know when he would be able to eat roasted meat made from Kunpeng, he couldn't help but look forward to it when he thought of its unique deliciousness. He even secretly hoped that the two of them would break up so that he would have the opportunity to taste it.

Hearing these jokes, Kunpeng felt utterly hopeless. He was, after all, a renowned and powerful figure in the primordial world, yet now he had become a lamb to the slaughter, powerless to resist.

When he tried to use his magic to escape, he discovered that the residual Purple Heaven Divine Lightning within his body was constantly stimulating his nerves, bringing him endless pain.

The combined sealing by Ye Yi and the ruthless man locked his spiritual power in his dantian, preventing him from using it.

Taiyi and Dijun's expressions turned extremely grim upon hearing Zhou Yi's words. With the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King approaching, the loss of Kunpeng, a vital fighting force for the Demon Clan, would undoubtedly be a major blow to them, weakening their strength and impacting their morale.

The two exchanged a glance. Despite their deep reluctance, they decided to compromise after weighing the pros and cons. "What are your conditions?" Di Jun asked through gritted teeth.

"Four mid-grade innate spiritual treasures," Zhou Yi replied with a smile. This smile, however, seemed particularly jarring to Taiyi and Dijun. Immediately afterward, Taiyi roared, "You're dreaming!" Such a request was simply outrageous.

"Then I'll just have to bake it." Zhou Yi shrugged helplessly.

Di Jun's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Two items." Zhou Yi replied firmly, "Three items."

After some struggle, Di Jun finally made a decision: "Two mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, plus one million humans."

Upon hearing this, Suihuang and the others immediately changed their expressions, their shock and anger evident. This was a matter of great importance concerning millions of their people.

Although they harbored a sliver of hope that Zhou Yi would agree, given that it concerned the lives of many of their clansmen, reason told them to trust Zhou Yi's judgment.

The final decision rests with the I Ching.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Alright, but you must not set foot in my clan's territory for 300 years." He put forward a new condition.

The Lich War is imminent, though the exact timing is unknown. All we can do is strive to secure a longer period of peace for humanity.

Once war breaks out, even if the demon race wants to deal with the human race, they will be too preoccupied with their own difficulties to do so, thus providing the human race with a valuable opportunity for survival and development.

"You!" Taiyi was furious upon hearing this and almost rushed forward to fight Zhou Yi and the others.

At the critical moment, Ruthless and Ye Yi joined forces to unleash a magic seal, and two beams of light, one white and one colorful, rushed toward Taiyi like giant wheels.

Taiyi dared not be negligent and revealed his true form to confront the Dharma Seal. The space distorted where the two collided, and an energy storm swept around, destroying everything.

Seeing this, Di Jun glanced at Di Jiang beside him, sighed helplessly, and finally relented: "Alright, I agree."

"I hope the demon race will keep their promise this time and not break their word," Zhou Yi said with a smile.

After saying that, he casually waved his hand and threw the Kunpeng away like trash.

Although Kunpeng was still struggling to break free of the restrictions within his body, all his efforts were in vain, and he was eventually captured by Taiyi's true form.

Taiyi looked at Kunpeng with a hint of disdain, but said nothing, because now was not the time to concern himself with such things.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation. I don't want my people to disappear by then, nor do I want the reputation of the demon race to be completely ruined," Zhou Yi said jokingly.

Di Jun snorted coldly, and two beams of spiritual light shot from his hand into Zhou Yi's hand. Then, without looking back, he transformed into a beam of light and quickly left.

"The show is over, everyone should leave now." As Zhou Yi finished speaking, the mysterious gazes gradually disappeared.

Seeing their demon emperors leave one after another, the aquatic demon soldiers were thrown into chaos and fled in all directions in a panic.

Instead of giving chase, Shan and Xiao Ling'er turned to take care of their injured companion.

The other team quickly went out and carried back the corpses of the demons who had fallen in the battle; these were their spoils of war.

During the transport, they made an unexpected discovery: some injured but not dead demons were also brought back and were to be placed in the previous cave.

"Dijiang Demon God, why don't you stay and have a meal with us before you leave?" Faced with the invitation from Ye Yi, Ruthless Man, and Zhou Yi, Dijiang looked down at Yao Yan, Fang Yun, Shi Hao, and the others, his heart filled with emotion.

With so many powerful individuals emerging from the human race, their strength should not be underestimated. Di Jiang nodded in agreement, wondering what made these humans so unique.

As everyone landed, a deafening cheer erupted in the valley. "Thanks to you all!" Suihuang excitedly grasped Ye Yi's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Ye Yi smiled and replied, "With us here, we will never allow the demon race to bully the human race."

This scene reminded him of the old village chief; they had both done their utmost to protect their people.

"Come on, people of the tribe, set up the barbecue grill, show off your skills, and let us enjoy a good meal!" Zhou Yi shouted.
