Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Even the experienced Taiyi Shen was astonished by that sip of wine. The taste amazed him.

"This stuff is truly amazing." Taiyi Shen realized the unique qualities of this wine and the near-monopoly held by the human race over it.

To prevent the human race from gaining a monopoly, he decided to send the wine jug to Di Jun, saying, "Brother, although I've disturbed your seclusion, please help me think of a solution."

Immediately afterwards, an explosion suddenly occurred in the Heavenly Court, flames shot into the sky, and Emperor Jun appeared.

"Brother, what brings you here?" Taiyi Shen asked in surprise.

"Never mind those details, what's important is how to deal with the human race's new inventions," Di Jun interrupted him.

Taiyi Shen said confidently, "Brother, let me secretly take care of that person."

Di Jun glanced at him helplessly and said, "It's not that I want you to kill anyone, but that we need to get involved in this matter." Taiyi Shen smiled awkwardly, "It seems we need to go to the human race to discuss cooperation."

And so, amidst the astonished gazes of the many demon soldiers, the two rulers of the Heavenly Court once again embarked on their journey to the human race.

This time they went alone, without any companions.

The scene outside the human wilderness was unusually lively.

Many people who tasted the local wines became deeply fascinated. Some tribes even led their people to migrate and settle nearby.

The place, which was originally full of dense forests, has undergone tremendous changes. Various races now move about, looking around curiously or talking excitedly.

Among these races are many intelligent individuals who see new opportunities in the development of humanity.

Recently, the human race has become the most enviable existence in the prehistoric world, with the allure of roasted meat and fine wine being irresistible.

In order to buy a bottle of fine wine, Tongtian spared no expense, even taking out a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

In places far from human settlements, where fine wine can only be obtained through purchasing agents, its price has been driven up to the point where it needs to be exchanged for low-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Even so, many people are still eager to get their hands on it.

"Ancestor of Humanity, what are you looking at?" Yao Yan asked as he approached Zhou Yi, noticing that Zhou Yi was staring into the distance.

"Look at these people, from the hundred or so who fled with me at the beginning, to the tens of millions of humans now. Look at the smiles on their faces." Zhou Yi's eyes were full of satisfaction.

Every time he sees this scene, he feels a strong sense of accomplishment and pride.

Yao Yan couldn't help but reminisce. He was the first to come and help Zhou Yi, and he witnessed all the hardships and dangers Zhou Yi went through in order to develop the human race.

Looking back now, those days were truly thrilling and awe-inspiring.

Humans have now become the wealthiest race in the primordial world, second only to the demon and witch races. Although top-tier treasures are few, almost everyone possesses a magical artifact. Furthermore, the pills refined by Yao Yan are freely available for children to enjoy.

Just as the two were deep in thought, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky, moving extremely fast and making no attempt to conceal their presence.

Ye Yi and the ruthless man quickly sensed this aura and appeared on the scene instantly.

"The familiar scent...it's those two again," Ye Yi said in a low voice, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Taiyi Shen and Di Jun appeared without any concealment outside the Desolate Kingdom, and the originally lively atmosphere instantly froze. Everyone stared blankly at the two in the sky, as if time had stopped.

"Oh, what brings you two here?" Zhou Yi asked with a faint smile, looking at Taiyi Shen and Di Jun without any fear.

They had already suffered losses many times before, so now the other party would not easily come looking for trouble again.

This visit clearly has a special purpose.

Zhou Yi was inwardly alert, but outwardly remained calm. Those two demon emperors definitely had something on their minds, and this intention was closely related to the recent rise of the human race and the increasingly prosperous meat and wine trade.

Di Jun surveyed his surroundings, his gaze sharpening instantly when he saw the bustling crowds and vibrant atmosphere of the food court. He realized his judgment was correct: the human race's development was astonishing, and if left unchecked, it could become a future threat.

However, the allure of the wine and roasted meat is simply irresistible. If these could be brought under the control of the demon race, it would not only bring them benefits but also restrain the human race—a truly brilliant strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

"We are here only for business negotiations and have no ill intentions. Don't you welcome guests?" Ye Yi and Ruthless were already prepared for battle, but they didn't expect Di Jun to say that.

Zhou Yi waved his hand and responded loudly, "We welcome all friends to visit and will treat them to the best wine and meat; if they are enemies, we will not be afraid either."

Zhou Yi's voice was loud and clear, and everyone around could hear it perfectly.

"We welcome you two to our territory." Taiyi Shen was unaware of his brother's thoughts, but he felt an urge to punch Zhou Yi the moment he saw him.

Di Jun was the first to enter the city, carefully observing the carvings on the city walls, and silently commented, "These are treasures of merit; are you just rich and arrogant, or do you simply not know how to cherish them?"

Upon entering the city, he was surprised to find that the dilapidated scene he had expected did not appear.

However, he soon frowned, keenly sensing the aura of demon blood.

Following the direction of the bloodstains, his face immediately darkened.

Having reached their level of spiritual attainment, their senses were exceptionally sharp, and they naturally heard the faint screams coming from the cave on the left. Those were the sounds of their own kind.

In an instant, a surge of anger ignited in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it, reminding himself that he should not act impulsively at this moment, and that the long-term interests of the demon race were the key.

"I didn't expect him to be able to hold back," Zhou Yi thought to himself.

As soon as Emperor Jun arrived, Zhou Yi immediately instructed Emperor Sui to evacuate the surrounding human population.

Those who remained were members of the hunting party, each possessing unique skills and ready to evacuate at any moment.

All of this was meticulously planned to test Di Jun's attitude.

If Taiyi Shen is the sharpest sword of the Heavenly Court's demon race, then Di Jun is the brain that commands this sword, and many of the Heavenly Court's decisions come from his hands.

This shows how deep Emperor Jun's thoughts were.

Zhou Yi quickly analyzed the situation in his mind. The group arrived at a cave halfway up the mountain, where fine wine and delicacies were soon laid out on the table.

At first, Taiyi Shen didn't care, but after taking a bite, his expression quickly changed. He was deeply attracted by the food and couldn't stop eating.

He was surprised to find that human food was so appealing, and that if he could bring it back to the Heavenly Court, it would surely make the demon race very happy.

Di Jun took a small sip and then stopped, staring intently at Zhou Yi, and said, "This wine and roasted meat have brought great wealth to your people."

Zhou Yi responded calmly, raising his wine glass to take a sip. "This is a unique characteristic of our human race. I wonder what the Demon Emperor thinks?"

He knew that Di Jun's arrival was not just for praise.

The negotiations that follow are destined to be difficult.

Di Jun nodded and said frankly, "To be honest, you always manage to surprise me, and so do the humans. I want to get involved in this endeavor."
