Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

After the sermon ended, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi did not return to Wuzhuang Temple. Instead, they secretly followed Jieyin and Zhunti, watching them heal their wounds while cursing the injustice of Heaven, searching everywhere for rare and precious materials to repair Jieyin's foundation. They also had to evade pursuit from others from time to time. Since leaving Zixiao Palace, many people in the prehistoric world had come to regard them as enemies.

In fact, most of those people were demons who worshipped Emperor Jun and Taiyi as their masters. Now that Jieyin had occupied a prayer mat, while Emperor Jun had not, some demons thought that if they killed Jieyin and Zhunti, the empty prayer mat would surely belong to Emperor Jun.

This is a very absurd idea, but quite a few people actually believe it.

Moreover, because Jieyin and Zhunti bullied the weak and feared the strong, they harbored resentment towards the Three Pure Ones, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi. Later, they were hunted down by the demon race and slaughtered all the demons who were chasing them.

Hongyun nearly vomited when she saw the wreckage scattered everywhere. She had only thought they were despicable and shameless, but she hadn't imagined they could be so cruel. If this was how it was in the novel, then wouldn't they have faced retribution after making those forty-eight grand vows?

"They've always been cowards who prey on the weak. Don't they know that the demon race is now under the control of Dijun and Taiyi? They've killed so many demons, aren't they afraid that Dijun and Taiyi will attack them?" Hongyun said with difficulty as she buried the wreckage scattered all over the ground.

Zhen Yuanzi frowned as well: "The two of them are being hunted down. Even if they are wary of Di Jun and Tai Yi, their primary concern will undoubtedly be survival. Most of these demons are not very intelligent and hold grudges. If we don't kill them, the pursuit will be endless."

"But don't you think there's something wrong? Why would the demon race suddenly start chasing after Jieyin and Zhunti? They keep saying that Jieyin has taken over the prayer mat that should belong to Dijun and their demon race. Why would they have such thoughts?" The more Hongyun thought about it, the more she felt something was off. Although the reason was plausible, it was very strange when she thought about it carefully.

The demons seemed determined, relentlessly pursuing Jieyin and Zhunti. Although many demons died at their hands, this also drew away even more demons in their pursuit. Initially, a few demons stood up for Dijun, but eventually, half the demons sought revenge for their fallen comrades.

Hongyun had a vague suspicion: the current situation where the demon race hated Jieyin and Zhunti was too similar to when the conflict between the three races had escalated. Moreover, the culprit who had instigated the conflict back then now also disliked Jieyin and Zhunti, harboring resentment.

He specially sought out a recording stone to capture the most tragic scene and handed it to Di Jun before the third sermon.

The demon race was newly established and its manpower was already limited. Di Jun and Tai Yi must have known about the killing of Jieyin and Zhunti. However, it was the demons who took the initiative to kill Jieyin and Zhunti, claiming that they wanted to compete for the futon for him. They were listening to the Dao with Jieyin and Zhunti in Zixiao Palace, and it was really not good to completely break ties with Jieyin and Zhunti because of those overconfident demons.

They never expected that what they thought would be a few enemies would turn into a horrific scene of multiple battles and corpses strewn everywhere. Those demons died too tragically; if they didn't avenge their men, how could they protect the countless demons and maintain their authority?

Hongyun acted as the catalyst, causing Dijun and Taiyi to harbor deep hatred for Jieyin and Zhunti, thus forging a blood feud between the demon race and the two Westerners. When Jieyin and Zhunti re-entered Zixiao Palace, they were covered in wounds, pursued by several demon generals.
