"The observable universe-level achievement..."
"Next, until the Red Dust Immortal realm..."
"It is to develop from the observable universe level towards the unobservable universe, and finally to grasp both the observable and unobservable universes simultaneously."
"Like Di Zun, who can refine true universes, that is a Red Dust Immortal!"
"Red Dust Immortal... this is a level higher than Dao Ancestor! Dao Ancestor is merely a stronger among Perfect True Immortals, not even comparable to a Quasi Immortal King!"
"The road is still long... there is still much to do..."
"After dealing with the Demon Court, next is... destroy Buddhism! Destroy Daoism!"
"Immortal Buddhas and Saints, how dare you not obey the Human Emperor's decree, not obey the laws of our Human Race..."
After contemplating the future.
Fang Ming looked again at Di Jun, the solitary one, the lord of all races.
At this moment, he was being suppressed by the might of the Great Emperor, unable to move on the ground.
Beside him, there were no more demons.
Only the Demon Emperor, one demon, remained.
The Demon Court existed in name, but was dead in reality!
The fleeing demons could at most be considered exiled demons.
The true Demon Court, the Demon Court that once ruled all races in the Primordial Era, had now completely fallen!
Perhaps the actual palaces had not fallen... but the demons within, and even the Demon Court in the hearts of the fleeing demons, had fallen!
The Demon Court in the hearts of the living beings on the Primordial Continent.
Had perished!
...
"Taiyi..."
Di Jun, suppressed by the might of the Great Emperor and unable to move an inch on the ground.
Upon seeing Taiyi refined into a soul ring by Fang Ming, upon sensing Taiyi's loss of life signs.
Upon sensing the demise of Taiyi, who had accompanied him for countless years!
Di Jun, despite once being the lord of all races, was now moved by true emotion and felt an immense sense of desolation!
Di Jun, the lord of all races, was cold-blooded!
He could regard the Human Race as the most lowly blood food, casually devouring billions of lives, allowing all demons to prey on humans without batting an eye.
He could treat the human tribes on the Primordial Continent as pastures, harvesting them at will, at regular intervals.
He utterly disregarded the fact that humans were also sentient beings with intelligence and life.
As the supreme ruler revered by all innate demons of the Demon Court, he could abandon other innate demons of the Demon Court without hesitation.
The Seven Great Demon Sages had followed Di Jun for billions of years, establishing the Demon Court together from the very beginning of the Witch-Demon era, making them true veterans.
Yet, when Di Jun abandoned them, he merely felt Fang Ming was too detestable, forcing him to do so.
Di Jun had never considered that his actions were a betrayal of his billions of years of friendship with the Seven Great Demon Sages!
A betrayal of the trust of over two hundred Demon Gods!
A betrayal of the entire Demon Court, of over five thousand races, of the acquired demons who once revered him as supreme!
He was the lord of the Demon Court.
He was the lord of all races.
But, in the end, in order to assassinate Fang Ming, for that last sliver of a chance to kill Fang Ming and exact revenge...
He had, in fact, betrayed all races!
He had betrayed the Demon Court!
He was extremely cold-blooded! For his own benefit, for his own goals, he could abandon innate deities with whom he had billions of years of acquaintance.
He was once arrogant and conceited! He viewed humans as blood food, destined to be blood food forever, and never believed humans had a chance to turn the tables!
He was once boastful and glory-seeking!
When his face was trampled upon, he would fly into a rage!
Upon hearing flattery from his subordinates, he would believe himself to be incredibly powerful, capable of defeating the Wu Clan, achieving sainthood through destiny, crushing the Three Pure Ones, kicking the Two Sages, and dominating Hongjun...
But, did he have true feelings?
Yes!
He had true feelings for the two Demon Empresses.
He had true feelings for the ten Golden Crow princes.
Di Jun's cold-blooded nature and his excellent treatment of the ten Golden Crows and the two Demon Empresses, being a good father, were not contradictory!
It was simply that the most cold-blooded cultivator also showed care to his closest relatives.
It was also undeniable that Di Jun and Taiyi, as two innate Golden Crows, had a relationship of mutual support after their birth on the Sun Star.
Together, they established the Demon Court, with Di Jun and Taiyi as the Twin Emperors of the Demon Court.
Di Jun could suspect any demon, any innate deity, of being detrimental to him.
But he would never suspect Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Not a single thought would arise in his mind.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi also believed in Di Jun.
Was Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Dao heart truly so invincible that he dared to challenge an Asura-level being at the peak of Quasi-Saint, and only in a temporary state, to break through to the Asura realm?
In fact, it might not be the case.
It was simply that he believed he had to help Di Jun, and that was why he did it.
Why were they the Twin Emperors of the Demon Court, not one Emperor and one King?
It was because they never had a distinction in status.
Not only on the surface, but also in their hearts, they acknowledged each other.
Di Jun was the Emperor, cold-blooded.
During the first great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, when three Demon Gods and fifty races were completely annihilated by the Human Race, he did not grieve for these races and Demon Gods for a single second.
During the second great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, over a hundred Demon Gods, Demon Sage Jiuying, Demon Sage Guiche, and Demon Sage Feilian perished.
Di Jun watched with cold eyes and no emotion. He could barely grieve for them for a few seconds, and his anger was directed at the Human Race and the trampling of his own authority!
During the third great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, the Human Race attacked the Demon Court.
Di Jun took the initiative to attack, leading to the deaths of the vast majority of Demon Gods and Demon Sages, and the complete defeat of the demon army!
What Demon Court, all races, Demon Gods, Demon Sages, were merely tools to be used in Di Jun's eyes. Once used and their value gone, they were discarded.
He would not feel sorrow, nor regret, for them.
But when Taiyi perished...
Di Jun discovered.
He regretted it!
He regretted treating the Human Race as blood food!
A tear slid down Di Jun's eye.
The Demon Emperor also had feelings.
He truly, thoroughly, regretted it!
Why! Why did he not treat the Human Race well in the past?
Bears, insects, pigs, sheep, cattle, horses... all could be demons.
Why could humans not be incorporated into the Demon Race?
The Demon Court could accommodate all races, and humans were also a part of all races! Why must humans and demons be in opposition?
The concept of the Demon Race could encompass races as different as bears, insects, pigs, sheep, and cattle, all as demons.
Humans could also be demons!
Humans were also demons!
The difference between humans and cattle was large, but the difference between cattle and horses was also equally large!
What was the difference?
Di Jun truly regretted why he had not included humans within the scope of the Demon Race back then!
All races could have completely accommodated humans, and the Demon Court could also have been a home for humans!
He was wrong!
Greatly wrong!
Terribly wrong!
Why...
Why...
Why did he not accommodate humans back then?
Regret!
A regret that pierced his soul!
He had established the concept of "Demon Race," transforming all races, different races, races with ten thousand varied forms, into "demons"...
He had made numerous efforts, balancing the conflicts between various races...
He never expected that by simply not including humans, not transforming them into demons, that...
The Demon Court and all its races had become history!
