Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

"The Beginning!"

Di Jun spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice low and deep, his eyes flashing wildly.

Jade Purity Saint, Primordial Heavenly Venerable!

He is in charge of the Chan Sect, ranks among the Three Pure Ones, and enjoys the merits of the creation of the world. He is one of the oldest and most orthodox Heavenly Saints in the prehistoric world!

Why did he come to the Demon Court?

While Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were deep in thought.

Outside the observatory, the void rippled silently.

A figure slowly emerged from the ripples.

Dressed in a jade-pure Taoist robe and wearing a purple-gold crown, with a gaunt face and indifferent eyes, he was surrounded by jade-pure immortal light that cascaded down like a waterfall, evolving into endless phantoms of the laws of heaven.

It is none other than the Primordial Celestial Venerable!

He stood alone beyond the starlight, hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi before finally settling on the star map that covered the heavens.

"The Zhou Tian Star Array... is indeed extraordinary."

Yuanshi spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly entered the depths of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi's minds, carrying a condescending scrutiny.

Di Jun's heart skipped a beat, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"I was unaware of the arrival of the Sage Yuqing, and I have failed to greet you properly. I hope the Sage will forgive me."

They adopted an extremely humble posture.

Donghuang Taiyi followed suit and bowed, but he did not loosen his grip on the Chaos Bell even slightly, and the wariness in his eyes did not diminish.

The arrival of a sage is no small matter.

In particular, this Primordial Celestial Venerable has always considered himself the true descendant of Pangu and has always disliked the demon race, viewing them as creatures with fur and horns.

Why have you suddenly arrived at the Demon Court today?

No need for formalities.

Yuanshi slightly raised his hand, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light lifted the two of them, his voice still indifferent:

"I have come here today for only one matter."

He paused, his gaze shifting to Di Jun:

"When will the Lich War begin?"

The four words were uttered like a thunderclap!

Di Jun was startled and looked up at Yuan Shi with disbelief in his eyes.

Yuan Shi... he actually came for the final battle between the Lich King and the Demon King?

As a sage of the Heavenly Dao and in charge of the Chan Sect, he should not have interfered in the matters of the Great Tribulation, much less personally intervened in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

But now...

"What does the sage mean by these words?"

Di Jun's voice was hoarse as he tentatively asked.

Yuanshi's gaze was calm, reflecting the surging astonishment and doubt in Dijun's eyes, and a cold smile slowly curved his lips:

"Di Jun, you and Tai Yi possess the Zhou Tian Star Array, command billions of demons, and have the Chaos Bell suppressing your destiny..."

"With such a strong foundation, they hesitated to take action against the Wu Clan because they were wary of Xuandu, Houtu, and the Jie Sect."

"How can anything be accomplished with such indecisiveness?"

Each word pierced Di Jun's heart like a dagger!

His face turned pale, and his hands slowly clenched into fists hidden in his sleeves.

What Yuanshi said... is all true.

Since Houtu transformed into the Cycle of Reincarnation, he has indeed hesitated to start the decisive battle due to his fear of Xuandu and the unpredictable changes.

But how did Yuanshi know all this?

Can sages truly see through everything by deducing the secrets of heaven?

"The sages are wise and discerning."

Donghuang Taiyi stepped forward, his voice hoarse:

"It's not that we're indecisive, it's just that there are too many variables."

"Xuandu's fortune is overwhelming, the Jie Sect is eyeing it covetously, and Houtu controls reincarnation... If we rashly start a war, we may suffer a backlash."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi suddenly laughed.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it carried an undisguised sarcasm:

"variable?"

He raised his hand and pointed towards Buzhou Mountain, then towards Jin'ao Island:

"The Wu Clan's Heavenly Divine Array is damaged; even with the Nine Phoenixes on top, its power is only 60% intact."

"Although Xuandu is strong, he is ultimately just one person. Tongtian of the Jie Sect needs to stay on Jin'ao Island to maintain the power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation to deter the saints. How can he leave so easily?"

"As for Houtu... she is one with the earth and governs reincarnation. She must maintain the order of the Nine Netherworlds, balance life and death, and must not interfere in the Great Tribulation."

"Aren't these... results you already deduced?"

The questions struck the depths of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's minds like heavy hammer blows!

Their expressions changed simultaneously!

Yuanshi... even knew about what happened on Nine Phoenix Peak?

They even deduced the exact power of the Dutian Shensha Grand Formation.

Is this... is this the method of a sage?

"But......"

Di Jun gritted his teeth, wanting to say something more.

But Yuanshi interrupted him by raising his hand.

"There are no 'buts'."

Yuan Shi's gaze turned cold, and his voice gained an undeniable air of authority:

"The great calamity of the Lich King is a predetermined fate of Heaven; the Lich King race will decline, and the Demon race will rise."

"This is an inevitable trend, and it cannot be reversed."

"As demon emperors who control the destiny of the demon race, you should follow the will of heaven, drive the great calamity, destroy the witch race, and establish the demon race as the overlord of the primordial world."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi:

"As for Xuandu... I will handle it myself."

The last eight characters were like ice falling to the ground, freezing the very soul!

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were both shocked and looked up at Yuanshi, their eyes flashing wildly!

Yuanshi... is he going to personally deal with Xuandu?

How...how is this possible?!

Was he not afraid of Tongtian setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, or of being punished by Hongjun Daozu?

"Sage...is this truly true?"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice trembled, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

If Yuanshi can truly restrain Xuandu, then the demon race... will have no more worries!

With the Zhou Tian Star Array fully activated, it is enough to crush six-tenths of the Heavenly Gods and Demons Array!

The annihilation of the Witch Clan... is just around the corner!

"I never speak falsehoods."

Yuan Shi nodded slowly, his gaze deep and profound:

"This boy, Xuandu, defies the heavens, abolishes Laozi's Humanist Teachings, kills the Holy Mother Nuwa, gathers fortune, awakens humanity, and even interferes with the restoration of the Earthly Dao... He has already disrupted the order of the primordial world and touched the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao."

"Such variables are intolerable to Heaven and to all the sages."

"During the great calamity, I will personally take action and... completely erase it."

The sound was calm, yet it carried an unwavering killing intent!

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged a glance and both saw the ecstatic joy in each other's eyes!

Yuanshi personally promised to take action against Xuandu!

Then the biggest variable for the demon race... no longer exists!

"but......"

Yuanshi changed the subject:

"My intervention must be made when the calamity is at its most intense and the heavenly secrets are most chaotic."

"At that time, the aura of calamity will be pervasive, and cause and effect will be intertwined. Even if Tongtian wanted to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it would take time."

"so......"

He looked at Di Jun:

"You must start the final battle as soon as possible, and lure Xuandu out of Jin'ao Island and into the battlefield of the Lich King."

"Once he shows up... the rest is up to me."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun no longer hesitated in the slightest!

"We will humbly obey the decree of the sage!"

He bowed deeply, his voice firm and resonant:

"Three days later, the Zhou Tian Star Array will be fully activated, and billions of demons will march forth to attack Buzhou Mountain!"

"At that time, we will surely lure Xuandu... out of Jin'ao Island!"

Yuanshi nodded slightly:

"good."

He said no more and flicked his sleeve.

Jade Purity Immortal Light swirled, and his figure slowly faded away.

"Remember, three days from now."

The last four words, like a decree from the Great Dao, were imprinted deep within the hearts and minds of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

Wait until the primordial aura completely disappears.

Inside the observatory, all was deathly silent.

Only the light of the stars in the heavens continued to fall, illuminating the faces of the two demon emperors, who were filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Big brother...we...we've finally waited for this day!"

Donghuang Taiyi clapped his hands and laughed, his laughter filled with both exhilaration and murderous intent:

"With the Primordial Sage personally taking action, Xuandu is doomed!"

"At that time, with the full activation of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Witch Clan... will be our demon race's prey!"

Di Jun's eyes also flashed with a cold light.

He slowly raised his hand, and the True Fire of the Sun surged wildly in his palm.

"Pass down the order."

The voice was icy cold, like ancient ice.

"The Zhou Tian Star Array, with its 365 main stars and 14,800 auxiliary stars, is all in place."

"A massive army of demons has gathered outside Mount Buzhou."

"The final battle begins in three days!"

The roar was like thunder, carrying the Demon Emperor's resolute determination, and it resounded throughout the entire Demon Court!

"I will obey His Majesty's decree!!!"

Countless demon generals responded in unison, their voices like a tidal wave, shaking the heavens!

The will to fight was completely ignited at this moment!
