Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 881 - 804: Luo Hou’s Reward

In the star domain, Kui Gang excitedly shouted, "Merit, this is the first time merit has descended upon the Demon Realm, haha! With this merit, I can forge a Merit Divine Artifact and kill without incurring karma."

"Sigh~ Merit again, doesn’t Heavenly Dao have anything else up its sleeve?" A sighing voice of Bai Jin came from the side.

Kui Gang’s laughter abruptly stopped, turning his head to look at Bai Jin, who was shaking his head and sighing beside him, feeling as if a herd of Divine Beasts trampled over his heart. These words were truly infuriating! Yet he seemed to have nothing to refute.

"Bai Jin, come to Black Cloud Palace and see me!" A stern voice suddenly rang out.

Bai Jin immediately bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes!"

He straightened up and cupped his fists in a salutation, smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoists, the Demon Ancestor summons me, I must take my leave now."

Wutian Demon Ancestor and Kui Gang also cupped their fists in return.

Bai Jin took a step forward, his figure instantly disappearing from the star domain.

Kui Gang looked at Wutian beside him and asked, "Buddha Ancestor Wutian, are you going back to the Great Leiyin Temple now?"

"What concern is it of yours!" Buddha Ancestor Wutian’s figure also instantly vanished.

"Hmph!" Kui Gang snorted coldly, "Don’t let me catch your heart demon. One day, I’ll make you face an impossible life and death dilemma."

He immediately flew towards the distance; Bai Jin went to the Black Cloud Palace, and Wutian returned to the Great Leiyin Temple. Now was a good time to search for that person who fused the Star Core.

...

Heavenly Demon Mountain stood tall on the True Demon Continent, its peak reaching into the star domain, Black Cloud Palace nestled at its summit, where one could raise their eyes and see countless star swirls and meteors streaking by.

In front of Black Cloud Palace, Luo Hou Demon Ancestor sat grandly on a stone, gazing toward the star domain, his eyes filled with delight.

A divine light appeared, and Bai Jin stepped out from within, bowing respectfully as he said, "Greetings, Demon Ancestor!"

"Rise!"

"Yes!" Bai Jin stood up and stood by his side.

Luo Hou Demon Ancestor sighed, "The last time I saw the star domain was when I forged the Demon Realm into reality. Even now, I feel it is unreal that the star domain, destroyed for countless years, has been so easily restored."

"Demon Ancestor, as long as the way is found, restoring the star domain is not actually difficult."

"Haha~ Even so, I must thank you. Without you seeing through Hong Jun’s deceitful tricks, who knows how many more years it would take to restore the star domain."

Luo Hou’s mouth curled with a sarcastic smile, "Leaving a thread of life, yet requiring the Demon Realm to work together in unity.

Hong Jun never intended for the Demon Realm to find this thread of life, nor did he ever intend to remake the Demon Realm Star Domain, utterly hypocritical!"

Bai Jin slightly bowed, not saying a word. The Demon Ancestor doesn’t know that my master is already in the Demon Realm, right?! Please continue your tirade, I’ll be here to enjoy the show.

Luo Hou looked at Bai Jin, revealing a smile. Bai Jin falling into the Demon Realm was a fortune for the Demon Realm, and it showed his fate with me, saying, "Thanks to your help, the star domain was restored. Bai Jin, what reward would you like?"

Bai Jin quickly said, "To serve you, Demon Ancestor, is truly an honor for me.

The Demon Ancestor appointed me as the Demon Sect Leader, it is merely fulfilling the duty of a Demon Sect Leader, I dare not speak of any reward."

"The Demon Realm does not deal in false modesty.

Since you won’t mention it, I will decide for you. I once said that if you could reshape the star domain, I would grant you great fortune. Bai Jin, do you wish to become my disciple?"

"What?" Bai Jin instinctively exclaimed and hurriedly responded, "Demon Ancestor, you never mentioned this before." Are you joking? I’m a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, protected by two senior masters, cherished by two aunt masters, with a master who’d defend me fiercely, not to mention an invincible grandmaster. Should I leave all that and follow you, am I crazy? Moreover, you’re just being toyed with by my grandmaster right now; why would I follow you and be toyed with too?!

"Did I not mention it before? Well, I’m saying it now. Will you accept?" Luo Hou Demon Ancestor looked at Bai Jin dominantly.

Bai Jin felt a bit anxious; now was not the time to choose sides! Gaining some time would be best.

Bai Jin immediately bowed and said in a hurry, "Thank you for your kindness, Demon Ancestor, but I have just arrived in the Demon Realm and have not made any achievements. To be accepted as a disciple already makes me uneasy, and the other demons may not accept it."

"Who says you haven’t accomplished anything? Reshaping the star domain is a great deed for the Demon Realm. If I accept you as a disciple, no one has the right to murmur a word of dissent." The Demon Ancestor exuded dominance, now looking at Bai Jin with a hint of displeasure. I offered to take you as a disciple, and you still push back, what is your meaning?

Bai Jin cautiously said, "But I already have a master, my master is the Tongtian Sect Master."

Luo Hou Demon Ancestor said, "I will handle Tongtian, he will agree." I’ll use the strongest realm’s Kui Gang to exchange, Tongtian will gain a lot, there’s no reason to refuse.

"Demon Ancestor, could you allow me some time to consider? There is the matter of my master, and also Senior Master Taishang, Master Yuan Shi, Lady Nuwa, Lady Ping Xin, I also inherit their teachings, so this is a significant matter. I must ponder on it carefully."

Luo Hou was slightly taken aback. Taishang, Primordial, Nuwa, Ping Xin, they’re all troublesome figures, how does a simple apprenticeship involve them too?

Luo Hou Demon Ancestor’s expression changed slightly, implying their relationship with Bai Jin was deeper than he imagined. This made him feel somewhat gravely, yet it also showcased Bai Jin’s exceptional ability.

Since heaven gifted Bai Jin to appear before me, it indicates his fate with me. What I want to obtain, I absolutely must obtain. The more important Bai Jin is to the Mysterious Sect, the more I must take him under my wing, let Hong Jun feel the pain! Still, discretion in the method is required.

Luo Hou steadily said, "I’ll give you time to consider, it is best you can persuade them yourself. I have calculated, you’re in the Demon Realm because of our fate."

Letting me face those five Saints alone, I’m also quite uneasy. The best strategy is for Bai Jin to resolve these concerns himself, then I’ll take him as my disciple, it will be perfect.

"I will return to see how I might persuade them."

Luo Hou Demon Ancestor suddenly spoke earnestly, "Bai Jin, you are grown, you need to have your own judgments. Your presence in the Demon Realm now means you are destined with the Demon Realm, and with me; when opportunity knocks, do not procrastinate.

For Immortal Gods, chances in a lifetime are not many, some opportunities appear only once, and some matters, once missed, cannot be reclaimed."

Bai Jin nodded repeatedly, saying, "What the Demon Ancestor says is very true! It’s just that when I was in the Mysterious Sect, my master and senior masters treated me well."

"Bai Jin, remember, you are now the Demon Sect Leader.

Among the great sects, sentimentality never exists; the only constant is everlasting interests. Rivalry between great sects, disciple turning against mentor, brother becoming foes, has always been so.

Now that your path is clear before you, if you retreat, there will never be a chance to attain the Tao; as Demon Sect Leader, you naturally sever ties with the Mysterious Sect. To manage both sects, unless you can subdue other great sects to follow you, this is the prospect my being hopes to witness as well."
