Chapter 481

The Heavenly Empress, the Heavenly Consort…… have given birth!

When a certain moment arrives, all the Great Luos capable of leaping in the Honghuang world will turn their gazes toward the Heavenly Court.

Although, it is guarded by the Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Formation.

Endless starlight surrounds it, gorgeous and splendid, dazzling to the eye.

But!

When a most wondrous Heaven and Earth Immortal Sound rings out, stirring in the hearts of mortal beings, an inexplicable joy of life's birth arises, and the Sun God Star and Moon God Star simultaneously burst forth with unprecedented blinding brilliance.

Sun and moon shine together!

On the Sun Star appears a colossal Golden Crow phantom, lifelike, with the aura of crying across the heavens and sweeping the universe.

On the Moon Star is the Moon's Jade Rabbit, lively and cunning, scattering gentle radiance, to brew the imperial nectar, to cleanse mortal beings.

Sun and moon shine together, the Star Sea brilliant.

Finally, all this light converges and merges together, together entering the Harmony Void Palace whose divine gaze has been severed.

This is a blessing, and also an enhancement of status.

The master of the Sun Star—Di Jun, and the goddess of the Moon Star—Xihe and Changxi; their children are born the rightful heirs of the sun and moon.

One of the most noble second-generation gods…… whose father is a Grand Simplicity Great Luo and mother a Grand Beginning Great Luo; such origins surpass all later-born beings.

Excluding the Great Luo level, they are the most exalted.

Moreover, what about the added legitimacy of the Heavenly Court's mandate? Although for now they have not yet been invested as crown princes.

Yet the identities of imperial prince and imperial princess are absolutely unavoidable.

Wow!

When a few tender wails rang out, the entire Honghuang fell silent for a moment.

Then, the Demon Race's fortune surged with an unprecedented roaring!

The demon folk, unconsciously, began cheering and shouting; endless willpower, guided by Jieyin, crossed the eternal void, flowing toward the singular point where the sun and moon stars converge.

Hahaha!

In the Star Sea, suddenly a figure capable of holding up heaven and earth appeared—that was the Heavenly Emperor.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor lifted the stellar blockade, laughing as he stood proudly between heaven and earth.

Around him orbited individual clusters of light, either blinding or clear, like little suns or little moons.

The number of suns was slightly fewer, only ten.

The number of moons was greater, twelve.

Together, they total twenty-two.

Such a sight left the demon folk stunned for a moment; their surging willpower froze, as if shocked, thus they hesitated, afraid to advance.

Born so many?

Not to mention the demon folk.

Even many Great Luos were somewhat startled and amazed, clicking their tongues in admiration.

Di Jun…… really can do it!

Is this meant to utterly crush the Dragon Ancestor's pace?

That Dragon Ancestor fellow merely shouts about giving birth to nine sons.

Di Jun here…… what a fine partner! Truly a fine partner!

Ten sons, twelve daughters?

Is it better to have more of such ferocity?

The myriad gods sighed.

Awesome, Di Jun!

First, he is the only one daring to marry two mighty divine-ability wives, breaking the record.

Now even better, having both sons and daughters is not enough; he's practically aiming to field a co-ed soccer team!

Divine-born winner! Divine-born winner!

Fengxi stood in the Human Royal Court, muttering sourly.

Everyone is a leader of a faction; why is there such a disparity between us?

Envious……

Even though Fengxi was once a steadfast supporter of the Single Alliance, now he also feels somewhat shaken.

Crack!

The girl beside him ate a melon slice and pursed her lips.

Forget it.

What's there to envy about that Di Jun fellow? Saying you're a life winner, you're far stronger than him.

He has struggled through two eras!

Starting from the Dragon-Phoenix Era, he worked hard, doing countless dirty jobs; then in this era, being selected by Hongjun and drawn over, becoming the Demon Emperor, only then did his career and love bear fruit.

And you?

You rose from nothing, from a clueless newcomer, and quickly attained the Dao of a Grand Beginning Great Luo, with the Human Emperor's status added; even a Grand Simplicity Great Luo could stretch out a paw to weigh you…… what more could you want?

You're nearly catching up to us old-timers……

The girl spoke with an old-fashioned air.

This is all thanks to Nüwa Majesty's discerning eye; among myriad little witches, she singled me out at once, giving Fengxi today's achievements!

Fengxi, hearing the tone, understood the refined meaning; he immediately stopped caring about Di Jun's affairs and instead attentively coaxed the little ancestor and the big boss.

It is indeed a fact…… Nüwa, but is listed alongside the Great Sage Fuxi, and is a benefactor in Fengxi's destiny!

"Mm!"

Nüwa nodded approvingly, her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowing as she focused on Di Jun's movements, closely examining his children.

"Strange..." she murmured, "Why do I feel something subtly off?"

"His children... his children..."

Nüwa wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words.

As the supreme achiever of the creation realm, she is the 'mother' of all human worldly beings; naturally, the foundations and origins of all later-born spirits cannot escape her eyes, and will be seen clearly from inside to out.

And now?

For the Heavenly Emperor's children, at first glance she saw no problem.

Household registration, date of birth, parents' details, ethnic attributes, blood type...

All filled in were quite reasonable, quite logical, perfectly matching the identity of a heavenly prince or princess.

But instinctively she sensed something mysterious and subtle here... the concrete evidence she couldn't voice; merely as the second person in this era closest to Pangu's achievement, her transcendent realm and perception of observing future spacetime became a glimmer of light, rising with the two words 'doubt'.

"What a pity; earlier Di Jun cut off perception, and a fragment of time was snatched from our view, leaving me unable to know what happened during that period..."

Nüwa let out a sigh.

However, although she sighed, she did not give up observation; she widened her eyes, staring tiger-like at the direction of the Heavenly Court.

Fengxi also couldn't make sense of the secrecy here, but it didn't hinder him from keeping the same pace as Nüwa, gazing at the Heavenly Emperor standing proudly in the sea of stars, showing off and striking poses.

Meanwhile, his casual interface irresponsibly speculated about Nüwa's doubts—after all, talking nonsense and wild guessing costs nothing and entails no responsibility, so let's guess!

"Could it be a case of swapping the crown prince with a raccoon dog?"

"Or perhaps arranging a stand-in actor?"

Fengxi was making wild guesses.

"Eh? Why would you say that?" Nüwa asked curiously.

"Oh, I recently have a few trumpets, receiving various special cultural knowledge in some small worlds, having watched many strange films and books..."

"Things like palace intrigue, melodrama, mystery..."

"Irresponsible associations, like princes and princesses being swapped as children from the imperial palace... or stand-in actors ghostwriting, true and false..."

"Er..." Nüwa sighed somewhat disappointedly, and earnestly advised Fengxi.

"Little Feng, from now on look less at this messy junk... this is reality, not fiction."

"We need to talk logic, talk reason, talk evidence... got it?"

"Understood!"

Fengxi himself didn't really want to investigate either; hearing Nüwa's advice, he nodded repeatedly, indicating he had been taught.

Being a god, one must talk reason!

……

"Come!"

The Heavenly Emperor gave a soft shout, commanding heaven and earth; boundless auspicious signs instantly appeared, and the origin of Honghuang poured down boundless blessings.

Twenty-two suns and moons were baptized by this overwhelming power...... every moment, they were added with an unfathomably solid foundation.

Such a foundation, once manifested, stepping onto the path of cultivation, one can become an immortal with a snap of the fingers, and with another snap prove the Dao of Taiyi!

However, just this alone, the Heavenly Emperor would not be satisfied.

What about Taiyi then?

Below the Great Luo, all are ants.

And to achieve Great Luo, besides bodily talent, one also needs spiritual talent.

This spiritual path must be walked by oneself...... of course, there are ways to accelerate it.

For example, others rely on legs, you rely on a vehicle.

"Come!"

Di Jun gave a light chuckle, his gaze lowering to look at the surging qi fortune and the stagnant mental power, and softly called out.

The next moment, mental power surged anew, flowing around the ten suns and twelve moons, baptizing them and bestowing blessings upon them.

Thought arises from the heart.

That vast river of mental power, each point of it, traced back to its source, is a real and genuine living being.

And every living being has its own unique life...... the mediocre are influenced by the times, deriving a worldview adapted to the era's survival laws; the outstanding influence the times, building a framework that changes their own fate and that of their surroundings—a great spirit.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor built a bridge.

The bridge is illusory, a conceptual bridge that connects countless monster lives, extracting the spark of their survival wisdom, turning it into foundation, which falls into the hearts of Di Jun's children.

Awaiting the passage of time, there will be a day when they take root and sprout.

Thus.

Boundless blessings, endless wisdom, limitless qi fortune...... all of everything gathered in one being, finally achieving——the utmost sublimation!

Heaven and earth darkened.

Then it brightened.

Darkness, because too much radiance was absorbed, making one feel the universe darkening against the backdrop.

And brightness, because those twenty-two light clusters burst forth radiance, exploding in an instant, shining thousands of millions of times brighter than before!

The blinding brilliance made all beings close their eyes; only those of Great Luo could continue to gaze.

After the brilliance faded, the common folk quietly opened their eyes, together looking toward the sole stage center of the Honghuang universe at this moment.

There, the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun smiled, surrounded by ten little golden crows and twelve little jade rabbits, flying and leaping around him.

Ten suns crossed the sky.

Twelve moons linked in succession.

A marvel of the ages, appears here.

The little golden crow, the little jade rabbit, are both very cute and lively.

Of course, they are also very sensible.

After energetically hopping for a while, they seemed to sense something, knowing what they could and shouldn't do—for instance, with ten blazing little suns hanging so large, it's too bright and too hot; affecting others might be excusable, but they must not bring disaster to the subjects ruled by their father.

Thus, the golden crow folded its wings, withdrew its light and heat, and strove to contribute its meager strength to assist the sun star in regulating cosmic light and heat, contributing to the prosperity of the universe.

Meanwhile, the jade rabbit hopped, turned the jade disc, communicated with the moon star, making the divine moon resplendent with colors, harmonizing the lunar essence, which transformed into countless golden threads that fell like rain into the mortal mountains and rivers, to the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

——Imperial nectar!

Although these imperial nectars, compared to the Heavenly Court's usual scheduled and quantified distributions that benefited all the Demon Race of Honghuang, their number is utterly minuscule.

But……

My little princess!

At such a young age!

Just newly born!

Already knows to care for the clan's major affairs, to think for the demon folk, and to bestow blessings!

Who could not be moved?

Who could not be shocked?

"The Imperial Prince is virtuous!"

"The Imperial Princess is wise and virtuous!"

In the Heavenly Court, an aged-looking demon god suddenly stepped forth, radiating brilliance and drawing the attention of all beings.

He was loudly shouting, his words full of endless praise, setting the rhythm.

As for the Imperial Prince and Princess, whose motives for showing off are unknown, praising them is enough—he not only praises them himself, but also gets others to praise them, getting countless Demon Race to praise them.

"My Heavenly Court, my Demon Race, there will be gods in the succession!"

The demon god shouted, performing the act to the fullest, with hot tears welling up, sobbing profusely, his voice brimming with infectious power, making all beings feel the same emotion.

Indeed!

Having such a Heavenly Court prince and princess who, right from birth, display such excellent conduct—never arrogant or overbearing, with such a kind heart—who could not be pleased?

Having gods in the succession is a must!

"Imperial Prince!"

"Imperial Prince!"

"Imperial Princess!"

"Imperial Princess!"

No one knows who started it.

Anyway, after not too long, countless Demon Race beings shouted in unison, different races and civilizations, at this moment muddle-headedly united in heart, together praising and cheering.

"The Imperial Prince is virtuous, the Imperial Princess is wise, my Heavenly Court shall surely flourish!"

After the beings shouted, the rabble-rousing unity felt the timing was about right, then it was the demon gods' turn to set the rhythm.

They are strong-voiced and loud, and under the direction of a certain heavenly emperor, they led the rhythm to a climax.

Of course.

Some fanned the flames, while others remained noncommittal.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Countless great sorcerers secretly sneered, "What era is this?"

"Playing with such empty show?"

"Having a few offspring, future performance still unclear, yet making such a grandiose show…"

"Can the Heavenly Court flourish just because there are a few princes and princesses?"

"It depends on the efforts of countless commoners, condensing sacrifice into blessings, to make a nation or a tribe prosper forever!"

Some great sorcerers pointed out the land.

Meanwhile, a great sorcerer smiled and said, "But I must say, this method of brainwashing is still quite formidable, and it aligns with Di Jun's thinking."

"Hmm… if nothing unexpected happens, next Di Jun will bestow blessings."

"Using the joy of their children's birth as an excuse, they lavishly bestow blessings to buy over the entire Demon Race populace."

"Tsk."

"This round, this round is about mutually saving face!"

"The offspring are awesome, thinking for tens of thousands of Demon Race, at such a young age they know to serve the beings and help their father save face."

"The father is awesome, just because the children were born, he lavishly bestows blessings, adding halos to the offspring and coalescing the Demon Race's hearts."

"The two combined, each accomplishing the other!"
