Chapter 579: Rules and Reminders

And just as the entire Great Wasteland was abuzz with discussion and Blood Sea Currents surged because of the news that the Heavenly Emperor was about to hold a grand wedding.

Another piece of gossip of unknown origin added a fierce fire.

"Hey, did you hear? Actually, that Heavenly Emperor originally wanted to marry both of those two Goddesses of the Taiyin Star, Xi He and Changxi, the sisters together!"

"What?!"

"True or false? This is too envi... thrilling, right?"

"It's said it was to perfectly complete the Yin-Yang Great Dao, after all the Taiyin Star has two mistresses. Result seems to be they were rejected. Don't know which Goddess was unwilling, or if both were unwilling, anyway in the end only agreed to marry the elder sister Xi He alone."

"Tsk tsk, unexpected, strong as the Heavenly Emperor, there are times he eats a closed door."

"Lower your voice! You don't want your life!"

This rumor carrying a few parts erotic, a few parts gossip color, spread to every corner of the Great Wasteland.

Countless living beings, while shocked at the Heavenly Emperor's "grand ambition," were also filled with curiosity and admiration for that Goddess who dared refuse the Heavenly Emperor.

This made the already lively Great Wasteland court of public opinion completely Causing an Uproar.

Countless versions of speculation began to circulate among the populace.

Some say it was the younger sister Fairy Changxi who had someone in her heart, unwilling to share a husband with her elder sister.

Some say it was the elder sister Fairy Xi He whose temperament was unyielding, demanding Di Jun marry her alone, otherwise she would rather be jade shattered.

Even some say it was that legendary Weak and Frequently Ill Prince Donghuang Taiyi who took a fancy to Fairy Changxi, and Di Jun for the sake of his younger brother had to reluctantly give up his love.

Rumors and gossip, escalating more and more fiercely.

Heavenly Court.

Di Jun's mood at this moment was very good.

Extremely good.

He was currently in his own Sleeping Palace, personally inventorying the Dowry about to be sent to the Taiyin Star.

Those usually regarded by him as ordinary items — Essence Refining spiritual roots, divine golds and strange irons — at this moment in his eyes seemed to all be plated with a layer of different brilliance.

Thinking that soon he would be able to welcome that figure cold as the moon into the Heavenly Court, to become his Heavenly Queen, that heart of his as an Emperor also couldn't help but stir Ripple after Ripple.

This perhaps is what Younger Brother spoke of, love?

"Elder Brother."

Gu Yuan's Voice in the Mind came from outside the hall.

"Younger Brother, how come you came? Not sleep a bit more?"

Di Jun hurriedly put down the nine-colored coral in hand, quick steps welcomed him up, face wearing a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Couldn't sleep." Gu Yuan coughed twice, supported by Di Jun sat to the side on the Cloud Bed, "Outside too noisy."

"Is Elder Brother's fault, the commotion was a bit big." Di Jun said somewhat apologetically.

"I'm not talking about this."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, he glanced at the treasures piled like a mountain inside the hall, cut to the chase and asked:

"Elder Brother, I heard, you originally planned to propose to both Fairy Xi He and Fairy Changxi simultaneously?"

The smile on Di Jun's face slightly stalled.

He hesitated a moment, still nodded: "Indeed there was this matter."

He pulled Gu Yuan to his side, low voice Explanation: "Younger Brother you don't know. The Taiyin Star, although has Xi He and Changxi two Goddesses, but their Primordial Origin, in truth same source, both are Taiyin. In a certain sense, the two of them combined, only then is a complete 'Taiyin Star Lord'."

"Elder Brother's original intention, was to welcome both of them into the Heavenly Court together. Only thus can Taiyang and Taiyin achieve the most perfect harmony, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array's power, also can truly reach the Perfection realm."

Gu Yuan hearing this, nodded.

This reason, very sufficient, very reasonable, also very... conforms to his this Elder Brother, everything pursues ultimate Perfection Emperor personality.

"Then what happened later?" Gu Yuan asked, "Which Fairy was unwilling?"

On Di Jun's face, flashed a trace of complex color.

He was silent a moment, then slowly said: "Neither."

"It was Empress Nüwa."

"Nüwa?"

Gu Yuan's eyebrows, imperceptibly raised a bit.

"Mm." Di Jun Sigh a breath, "Just the night before Elder Brother prepared the Dowry, planned to announce this matter to the Great Wasteland, Empress Nüwa personally arrived at Lingxiao Baodian."

"She said, she came by Heavenly Dao Decree."

Di Jun's voice, pressed even lower.

"Empress Nüwa said, Heavenly Emperor, should have one Heavenly Queen, to mother the world, only then conforms to Heavenly Dao human relations. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, one Heaven, likewise cannot have two Empresses. This is fixed number, cannot be changed."

"She also said, this was when she comprehended Primordial Beginning Purple Qi, from Heavenly Dao obtained enlightenment. Advised Elder Brother, Accumulating Merit act, don't go against Heaven's numbers, lest generate more twists and turns."

Finished speaking, on Di Jun's face, full of helplessness.

If it were anyone else, even Three Purities, telling him this big reasoning, he might not necessarily listen.

But it just had to be Nüwa.

Nüwa is Yao Clan origin, moreover future Heavenly Dao Saint.

Her words, still have to listen

Of course, most important actually is the second half sentence.

"But Nüwa's meaning, was to let Elder Brother temporarily endure, Elder Brother also considered the speaker is Nüwa, so finally agreed."

After repeated weighing, he could only give up that most perfect plan, chose to temporarily only marry Xi He alone.

"Originally so." Gu Yuan hearing finished, in heart understood clearly.

On surface look, this matter, reasonable and logical.

Nüwa as future Saint, preemptively perceived Heavenly Dao's regulation on marriage ethics, came to admonish Di Jun, this completely makes sense.

But Gu Yuan always felt that something was off.

Too coincidental.

The timing was too coincidental.

On the eve before Di Jun was about to act, did Nüwa just happen to receive a revelation from the Heavenly Dao?

Does this Heavenly Dao meddle too much? Does it even interfere in how many wives others take?

Personal conduct?

What is the purpose?

Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon that copy of *Overbearing Heavenly Emperor Loves Me* that he had casually tossed aside.

Could it really be that he read too many romances, got too immersed, and prematurely started palace intrigue?

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."

Gu Yuan shook his head. This game was too vast, there were too many players, and the information he currently possessed was still too little.

Overthinking is meaningless.

Let's take one step at a time and see what happens.

Seeing the faint regret of unfinished business on his elder brother's face, he smiled and patted his hand.

"Elder Brother, actually, this is also good."

"Oh? Why?" Di Jun asked, puzzled.

"Think about it—if you bring one back, she becomes the Heavenly Queen."

A meaningful smile appeared on Gu Yuan's face,

"If you bring two back, then you have two Heavenly Queens. If they sisters fall out someday, whose side will you take? And if you end up fathering a few little Jin Wu, fighting over the position of Taitai Zi until their heads are broken and bloody, will your Heavenly Court still have peace?"

Di Jun froze for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

"What my younger brother says is true! I, as the elder brother, oversimplified things!"

He found his younger brother's words very reasonable, and that lingering regret in his heart also vanished like smoke.

"But Elder Brother,"

Gu Yuan shifted the tone of his speech, speaking in a half-joking tone,

"After all, the Taiyin Goddess is an Ancient God, with a cold and aloof nature. Once you marry her, you must manifest the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor to properly discipline her—never let her be swayed by pillow talk."
