Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 905 - 535: Opportunity and Calamity
At this time, the Ten Golden Crows of the Sun Star and the Twelve Moons of Taiyin Star no longer wielded the Sun Star Banner and the Taiyin Star Banner.
Many Star Gods in the Primordial Starry Sky also sensed something and ceased to operate the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
Gradually, the Celestial Heaven Star Formation returned to its original state, the rotation of stars ceased, and the alternation of day and night, the rotation of four seasons, resumed normalcy.
The entire Primordial World slowly returned to calm, yet the news brought by Bai Ze unsettled the souls throughout the Primordial World.
In the Chaos, at the Purple Cloud Palace.
From the moment Bai Ze began to proclaim the Heavenly Emperor Decree, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor opened his eyes, his gaze traversing the Primordial World and the All Heavens Star Formation, seeing Bai Ze.
He remained calm, quietly listening to all the edicts announced by Bai Ze.
When he heard that those who pass the Heavenly Tribulation could receive Primordial rewards, he furrowed his brows slightly.
He couldn’t help but murmur, "Demon Emperor, is this your selection process?"
"But do you realize that by doing so, you are consuming the origin that should belong to the Primordial World."
"Those who survive the Heavenly Tribulation can continue their practice, a gift from the Primordial Heavenly Dao, yet now they even need rewards, depleting the energy of the Primordial World."
"If that’s the case, the merit and fortune you gain will also be slightly reduced."
While speaking, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s gaze shifted unconsciously toward the direction of Taiyin Star.
On Taiyin Star, Di Jun sensed something, his eyes radiating gold, meeting the eyes of Hongjun Taoist Ancestor.
In their gaze, light and Daoist charm flowed, spreading in their eyes as if in confrontation.
After a moment, both withdrew their gazes.
At the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor was surprised; he had anticipated Di Jun’s power to be formidable, even comparable to his own post-union with the Dao.
Yet he hadn’t expected the power of the Demon Emperor Di Jun to be so overwhelming that in their brief ’exchange’ of gazes, he found himself at a disadvantage.
At this moment, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor somewhat understood why Demon Emperor Di Jun would reject his earlier proposal.
With such power, Demon Emperor Di Jun could indeed act as he pleased in the Primordial World, much freer than himself.
Moreover, the Demon Emperor Di Jun also possessed Infinite Merit and Destiny, making his endeavors, whether in practice or otherwise, more effective.
He seemed to understand the reason behind Di Jun setting such a Heavenly Tribulation; he simply would not lack merit and destiny and, naturally, did not mind losing a bit of it.
For a moment, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy for Demon Emperor Di Jun.
His erstwhile acquaintance who followed his path had now grown to this extent.
Those who follow me live; those who resemble me die.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor couldn’t help but think of that being emulating his path, the East King.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor collected his thoughts, and with a mind shift, the broken and cracked Creation Jade Disc appeared in his hand.
Now that the Heavenly Tribulation is visible, the Primordial Heavenly Dao and the Primordial World are further perfected; this was a prime time for him to use Pangu’s Secret Technique to strive for more freedom, a chance Hongjun Taoist Ancestor would not miss.
On Taiyin Star, Di Jun gazed towards the Chaos, in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace, whispering, "Hongjun Taoist Ancestor."
At Shouyang Mountain.
After Taiching Laozi finished listening to Bai Ze’s announcement of the Heaven and Earth Decree, with a thought, the Tai Chi Diagram appeared before him, the Yin Yang Fish slowly rotating.
Taiching Laozi infused his mana into the Tai Chi Diagram, breaking through the Heavenly Dao barrier, sensing the newly emerged Heavenly Tribulation.
Bai Ze’s announcement of the Heavenly Emperor Decree merely informed the beings of the Primordial of the existence of the Heavenly Tribulation, a reminder during cultivation.
As for the specifics of the Heavenly Tribulation, what it entailed could not be discerned from just Demon Emperor Di Jun’s decree.
At this moment, it required discerning and deducing the Heavenly Dao by all beings of the Primordial, much like understanding the Heavenly Dao, where those with great talent may learn more.
On Taiyin Star, following the exchange of gazes with Hongjun Taoist Ancestor, Di Jun sensed that the Heavenly Tribulation within the Primordial Heavenly Dao was being probed by numerous beings.
The many Sages within the Primordial naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity; Di Jun could almost feel the presence of all the Sages.
This included his incarnation within the Netherworld, Emperor Fengdu.
Everything about Emperor Fengdu was known to Di Jun, clearly.
But everything about Di Jun was only known to Emperor Fengdu if Di Jun wished it; otherwise, he would have to investigate himself.
Apart from the Sages, Quasi-Saint beings, Daluo Golden Immortal beings, and even some extraordinarily gifted Taiyi Golden Immortals and Golden Immortal beings were all seeking information about the Heavenly Tribulation.
As for beings below the Golden Immortal, with their power, understanding the Heavenly Dao already proved challenging, let alone the Heavenly Tribulation situated deep within the Heavenly Dao.
Di Jun did not obstruct any being, allowing them to fathom the information regarding the Heavenly Tribulation. However, how much they could comprehend would depend on their fortune.
Without any protection, Taiching Laozi quickly grasped all the information about the Heavenly Tribulation.
Heavenly Tribulation, indeed, targets cultivators.
Taiching Laozi pondered.
Those below the Immortal, yet above common beings, do not face the Heavenly Tribulation, which counts as a mercy from Demon Emperor Di Jun.
