Primordial Era: I, the auspicious beast Pixiu, am the darling of the Great Dao.

Above the thirty-third heaven.

When the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was first established, it was a magnificent sight.

The vast and boundless golden fortune transformed into a substantial sea of ​​clouds, rolling endlessly above the Lingxiao Palace.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, it was resplendent in gold and jade, yet a demonic aura filled the sky.

Di Jun sat upright on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, surrounded by the mysterious starlight of the Hetu Luoshu, his eyes sparkling with joy.

Taiyi sat to one side, the illusory image of the Chaos Bell above his head appearing and disappearing, releasing his domineering and arrogant aura without reservation.

After many twists and turns, they finally succeeded in establishing the demon race, setting up the Heavenly Court, and gaining the favor of heaven and earth, thus laying the foundation for becoming the overlords of heaven and earth.

Just then, a demon god strode in from outside the hall, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported.

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Emperor and Eastern Emperor, several chieftains from ancient tribes are requesting an audience outside the palace. They express their admiration for the might of our demon race and wish to lead their entire clan to join the demon race, seeking the protection of the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance, both showing delight on their faces.

The demon race is newly established, and it is precisely the time when it needs to embrace all rivers and expand its influence. The fact that other races take the initiative to join them is undoubtedly the icing on the cake.

"Go quickly and invite them into the hall!"

A moment later, several beings exuding the aura of Great Luo Golden Immortals stepped into the main hall.

After witnessing the might of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, and recalling the brutality of the Wu tribe, the clan leaders all knelt down.

"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor!"

"Our race suffered greatly from oppression in the primordial world. Now that the Heavenly Court has been established and the demon race is thriving, we have come to surrender and wish to join the demon race. We yearn for the protection of the demon race and hope that the Heavenly Emperor will grant us his request!"

Di Jun nodded slightly and spoke.

"Since you are following the natural order and wish to join my demon race, I, the Emperor, will naturally agree with you."

"From this day forward, you are all part of my demon race, under the protection of the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, the clan leaders were overjoyed. They immediately faced the sky in the Lingxiao Palace, invoked the power of their primordial spirits, and proclaimed the Dao of Heaven.

"By the will of Heaven, we voluntarily lead our entire race to join the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, from this day forward united in spirit and destiny!"

Boom!

Above the heavens, the Heavenly Dao sensed something and sent down subtle fluctuations, clearly acknowledging the oath.

However, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange the moment the oath was uttered.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi, who was standing to the side, all closed their eyes to sense the changes in the fortune of the demon race.

A moment later, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.

To their surprise, with the addition of these several Great Luo Golden Immortal level clans, the demon race's massive golden cloud of fortune did not increase at all!

Not a single bit!

"How is this possible?"

Logically speaking, when the myriad races of the primordial world joined the demon race, their own fortunes would converge into the total fortunes of the demon race, making the demon race stronger and stronger. This was one of their original intentions in establishing the Heavenly Court.

But now that Heaven has clearly recognized it, why hasn't the fortune changed at all?

Fuxi stood to the side, a solemn expression on his face.

He was an expert in divination, so he immediately closed his eyes and began to deduce the secrets of heaven.

A moment later, Fuxi opened his eyes, sighed helplessly, and spoke.

"Heavenly Emperor, is it possible that it's because of Brother Tianlu?"

Di Jun was taken aback and looked at Fu Xi.

Fuxi continued to explain.

"When the Heavenly Emperor went to the East Sea, he made a deal with Brother Tianlu, asking only that the fortune of the clan at its founding not be dispelled."

"But it seems the Heavenly Emperor hasn't granted him the authority to absorb the fortune of other races?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun froze on the spot, his face turning extremely ugly.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he overlooked this crucial detail!

Tianlu controls the world's fortune. If he doesn't relinquish his authority, the fortune of those newly joined races will be unable to flow into the demon race's fortune pool!

Upon hearing this, Taiyi flew into a rage.

He was by nature strong-willed, and he couldn't stand such humiliation.

"boom!"

A terrifying burst of solar fire erupted from Taiyi's body, distorting and warping the space inside the hall.

"That greedy Pixiu! It's really gone too far!"

"I can't take this anymore! Does he really think our demon race is a pushover he can easily manipulate?!"

Taiyi roared and summoned the Chaos Bell, preparing to rush out of the Lingxiao Palace to settle accounts with Tianlu in the East Sea.

Upon seeing this, Di Jun quickly waved his hand and unleashed a beam of starlight to quell Tai Yi's anger.

"Taiichi, calm down!"

"What Xi Huang said is probably true."

"Moreover, Tianlu is a favorite of the Great Dao, controlling destiny. If we forcibly attack him, not only will we be punished by the Heavenly Dao, but the destiny that the demon race has painstakingly gathered may also be dissipated by him once again!"

Although Di Jun felt equally aggrieved, he understood the importance of forbearance.

Who knew Tianlu was so greedy?

Only someone as deep-seated as Di Jun could endure it; if it were Tai Yi, he probably would have already attacked without hesitation.

"Are we just going to let him extort us like this?!"

Taiyi was puzzled!

Upon hearing this, Di Jun took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said coldly.

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. For the sake of the demon race's eternal dominance, let's go to Brother Tianlu's dojo again."

This time, Di Jun did not choose to take Taiyi with him alone.

He looked at Fuxi and spoke.

"Xi Huang, we would be grateful if you could accompany us. You have some connections with Brother Tianlu, perhaps you could mediate a bit."

Fuxi gave a wry smile and nodded.

He felt helpless; Tianlu's ability to overturn tables and extort money was truly unmatched in the entire prehistoric world.

at the same time.

Chaotic Immortal Island.

Inside the palace.

Tianlu was lying on his cloud bed, preaching to the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, whom he had recently taken as his disciples.

Yunxiao is dignified, Qiongxiao is gentle, and Bixiao is mischievous.

The three of them sat respectfully below, listening to the profound words of the Great Dao spoken by Tianlu.

Just as Tianlu was getting into the swing of things, his expression suddenly changed, and he keenly sensed a wisp of fortune crossing the endless void and silently blessing him.

Tianlu stopped lecturing, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The three immortals of Sanxiao looked puzzled when their master suddenly stopped.

Yunxiao asked softly.

"Master, has something happened?"

Tianlu did not answer immediately, but murmured to himself.

"Where did this luck come from? I haven't been robbing anyone lately, have I?"

With a thought, he immediately activated the Law of Luck to deduce and trace the source of this luck.

A moment later, Tianlu suddenly realized.

It turns out that a primordial race announced its joining the demon race, but because he did not grant the demon race permission to absorb fortune, this fortune was directly supplied to him, the controller of fortune.

Upon learning the truth, Tianlu felt a surge of wicked pleasure, and a sense of amusement arose within him.

"I almost forgot, I haven't granted this permission to the demon race yet."

Thinking of this, I was just about to casually enable the permission.

But then Tianlu changed his mind and stopped what he was doing.

"Wait, the deal I made with Di Jun and Tai Yi was just to ensure that the fortune they had when they founded their clan would not dissipate."

"This right to absorb the fortune of other races is not within the scope of this transaction!"

"Why should we give them free access?"

"Let's wait for those two suckers, Di Jun and Tai Yi, to come and discuss it. We can just extort them a little more."

"They've already extorted us so many times, extorting us one more time won't matter. They should be used to it by now."
