Chapter 246: Fuxi's True Purpose! Will Di Jun and Taiyi Self-Destruct to Kill the Enemy?

Following Fuxi's words, the Demon Race, who had just been wearing expressions of certain death and preparing to fight to the bitter end, were all suddenly stunned.

Afterwards, they all looked toward Fuxi with eyes full of anticipation.

Clearly, if there was still a way to live, no one wanted to die.

Baize could not help but speak up, asking: "Your Majesty Xi Emperor, can you truly secure a path of survival for our Demon Race?"

Just as Fuxi was about to speak, Taiyi abruptly interrupted: "Bah! Fuxi, at this point, why must you still put on such a hypocritical act? Today, if you hadn't betrayed our Demon Race and instead helped the Human Race, how could our Demon Race have fallen into this state?"

These words caused the Demon Race, who had just felt a glimmer of hope, to suddenly cast suspicious gazes toward Fuxi once again.

Some among the Demon Race even began to suspect whether Fuxi might have some conspiracy aimed at them.

Fuxi looked around, then sighed lightly and said: "Ask yourselves, even if I stood on the side of the Demon Race today, could you truly have won?"

Once these words were spoken, the many members of the Demon Race fell silent again.

Even Taiyi did not speak to answer.

After all, judging by everything that had just happened, Lu Yun had long since made numerous deployments; even if Fuxi had not helped the Human Race, or had even turned to help the Demon Race, Lu Yun would at most have just forced Taishang Laojun to act earlier, and the situation would still have been extremely unfavorable for the Demon Race, with defeat being only a matter of time.

Fuxi said again: "Think carefully, if I had not helped the Human Race fight just now, would I have the face to speak to Lu Yun now and plead for mercy for the Demon Race?"

At this, the Demon Race members were even more unable to speak.

"On the contrary, it is precisely because I helped the Human Race in battle just now, combined with our past ties, and the fact that I am the brother of Nuwa, that I might possibly secure a glimmer of survival for the Demon Race!"

Speaking to this point, Fuxi seemed to suddenly think of something else; he turned toward the direction of Zhenyuanzi, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "My apologies, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi. After all, I bear a significant amount of Demon Race Karma, so I cannot watch the Demon Race be slaughtered; I ask for your understanding."

He clearly had not forgotten that Zhenyuanzi was single-mindedly focused on avenging Hongyun, and since he had just been fighting side-by-side with Zhenyuanzi, he now had to stand on the opposite side of him, so naturally, he could only apologize to Zhenyuanzi first.

Zhenyuanzi's expression was cold, but he only said flatly: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi need not do this; I can understand your position. Moreover, what I hate are only Di Jun and Taiyi, not the entire Demon Race!"

After his voice fell, he sent a voice transmission to Fuxi: "What's more, in my view, even if you plead for them, I fear Di Jun and Taiyi will not have a good end!"

Fuxi's expression changed slightly.

In truth, how could he not know that it was basically impossible for Lu Yun to let off high-ranking Demon Race members like Di Jun and Taiyi?

It was just that he had deliberately not mentioned it earlier.

Because he was afraid that if Di Jun and the others saw no hope of survival, they would instead drag the entire Demon Race to perish together with the Human Race!

That would absolutely be the worst-case scenario! That was why he had spoken up in time just now to give the Demon Race some hope, at least to keep more of the Demon Race from foolishly following Di Jun and the others to their destruction.

Fuxi had not expected that Zhenyuanzi would also see through his intentions.

What Fuxi felt fortunate about was that Zhenyuanzi did not say those last few sentences aloud, but used a voice transmission; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Feeling lingering fear in his heart, Fuxi also showed a look of gratitude, bowed to Zhenyuanzi, and said: "Many thanks for your understanding, Fellow Daoist!"

Zhenyuanzi waved his hand and said no more.

At this moment, he just wanted to watch coldly from the sidelines to see exactly how Di Jun and Taiyi would perish!

The Queen Mother of the West and Zhulong looked at each other and also chose not to attack again, which could be considered giving Fuxi some face.

Of course, if Fuxi could not persuade Lu Yun, they would naturally continue to attack when the time came!

Thus, the scene turned into one where, after a few words from Fuxi, the experts on the Human Race side stopped their attacks one after another.

This made the Demon Race suddenly see the hope of survival again, and they could not help but look at Fuxi with full anticipation.

Di Jun and other high-ranking Demon Race members also did not make a sound, just watching Fuxi coldly, but at the same time, they took the opportunity to secretly mend their injuries and recover their magic power.

Under the gaze of all, Fuxi quickly arrived before the Pangu True Body formed by Lu Yun's twelve incarnations and bowed solemnly.

Fuxi's actions drew the attention of everyone present; whether Demon Race or Human Race, all were curious about what he would say next.

Fuxi took a deep breath, looked at Lu Yun's incarnation with a firm gaze, and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Lu Yun, the battle today has already sealed the defeat of the Demon Race. However, among the Demon Race, there are many living beings who only wish to survive on this Primordial Land. I, Fuxi, as the Xi Emperor of the Demon Race, do not wish to see the Demon Race exterminated because of this. Therefore, I implore Fellow Daoist Lu Yun to grant the Demon Race a path to survival."

Lu Yun's incarnations were slightly startled, clearly not expecting Fuxi to make such a request at this time. However, Lu Yun's true self, within the Qiankun World, had already anticipated this scene.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and spoke through his incarnations: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I am already aware of your request. However, the grievances between the Demon Race and the Human Race are not the result of a single day, and resolving them is no easy task. But I, Lu Yun, am not a bloodthirsty person; as long as the Demon Race is willing to lay down their weapons and surrender to my Human Race, I can guarantee that the Human Race will not slaughter the innocent indiscriminately."

Once these words were spoken, a cheer immediately erupted among the Demon Race. Many of the Demon Race had already prepared themselves for death, and hearing Lu Yun's words now, a glimmer of hope could not help but surge in their hearts.

However, the expressions of Di Jun and Taiyi were incomparably gloomy. As the high-ranking members of the Demon Race, they naturally could not surrender easily. Yet, the current situation left them no room for further consideration.

Di Jun also seemed to have seen through Fuxi's true intentions.

He suddenly sneered and said: "Lu Yun, how can you guarantee you won't slaughter the innocent indiscriminately?"

Once these words were spoken, the many members of the Demon Race also became nervous again.

After all, Lu Yun's words were indeed open to interpretation; without clarifying who was innocent and what counted as indiscriminate slaughter, how could they feel at ease? Lu Yun smiled indifferently and said: "For all Demon Race who truly surrender, as long as they are not those with heavy Karma, I can spare their lives and give them a chance to make amends for their mistakes!"

When this was said, many in the Demon Race could not help but feel joyful.

Just as Fuxi had said, not everyone in the Demon Race was wicked and vicious; more were coerced into coming and had no choice but to participate in this war.

If they had a chance to live, they naturally did not want to give it up.

As for what Lu Yun said about making amends, they figured it was nothing more than helping the Human Race build cities or something; compared to death, they felt that was nothing.

But the other portion of wicked and vicious ones, especially high-ranking Demon Race members like Di Jun and Taiyi, did not think so.

Taiyi suddenly roared in anger: "You wretch Fuxi, so you actually wanted to split our Demon Race! Your heart deserves to be punished!"

Fuxi did not show weakness and cursed back: "Bullshit! I just don't want all the Demon Race to become victims of your ambition and be killed by you!" Fuxi's words caused a commotion within the Demon Race, and many began to ponder whether Fuxi's words truly represented their own inner thoughts. After all, in this war, many of the Demon Race were forced to participate, and they had not directly participated in the slaughter of the Human Race before.

The expressions of Di Jun and Taiyi grew even gloomier; they knew that if the Demon Race truly split, then even if they survived, their ruling status in the Demon Race would face a serious challenge in the future.

"Spreading demonic words to confuse the masses, this Emperor will kill you!"

Taiyi charged toward Fuxi in a rage, wanting to kill him to serve as a warning to others.

However, just as Taiyi was about to act, Lu Yun spoke again, his voice spreading across the entire battlefield: "Among the Demon Race, if anyone is willing to surrender, my Human Race can forgive their past mistakes. But if you remain obsessed and continue to resist stubbornly, then what awaits you will be the fate of extinction."

These words caused even greater wavering within the Demon Race. Many began to discuss among themselves, considering the possibility of surrender. After all, only by surviving could there be hope; death meant the end of everything.

Di Jun and Taiyi watched the wavering within the Demon Race, feeling extremely anxious. They knew that if they could not stabilize the morale of the troops in time, the Demon Race might truly collapse right then and there.

Just at this moment—

"Di Jun! Taiyi! I am truly so disappointed in you!"

Everyone could not help but look toward the direction the voice came from, only to see an old woman flying out from above the Primordial Land.

The many members of the Demon Race were somewhat bewildered upon seeing this old woman, not knowing who she truly was, yet they could see that she was a Quasi-Saint.

The old woman flew into the air, looked at Di Jun and the others with a cold expression, and said, "Do you truly insist on dragging the entire Demon Race to perish with you? In your current state, what qualification do you have to be the Emperor of the Demon Race?!"

Di Jun's face sank, and he said, "Who are you? By what right do you interfere in the affairs of my Demon Race!"

The old woman gave a cold shout: "By the right that I am Nüwa's Good Corpse, is that qualification enough?"

A single sentence instantly made Di Jun's face even gloomier.

Especially when he discovered that among the surrounding Demon Race, many who had originally been wavering were now looking at Nüwa's Good Corpse with excitement, his expression became even uglier.

He said angrily, "Nüwa has already abandoned my Demon Race and even ignores our current plight; what qualification does she have to meddle in this matter?!"

The old woman sneered, "Was it my original self who abandoned your Demon Race first? It is clearly you who, time and time again, disregarded my original self's warnings and insisted on being enemies with the Human Race, which is why my original self became extremely disappointed in the Demon Race! If not for the memory that my original self was once the Wa Emperor of the Demon Race and could not bear to watch the Demon Race perish because of you, do you think I would appear here?!"

Di Jun did not know how to retort for a moment.

The old woman ignored him, turned her head to look at the Demon Race army, and said in a loud voice, "All members of the Demon Race, listen well! I guarantee in the name of the Saint Nüwa that as long as you are willing to surrender, I will certainly ensure your lives!"

At this, the members of the Demon Race who had already been swayed by Fuxi became even more tempted.

They might not trust Lu Yun, but they still respected Nüwa from the bottom of their hearts!

Within the Demon Race army, a Great Luo Golden Immortal suddenly dropped his weapon and shouted loudly, "Surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

After saying this, seemingly afraid that Di Jun or Taiyi would strike at him, he hurriedly flew behind Fuxi and the others.

With one person setting an example, other members of the Demon Race followed suit, expressing their willingness to surrender, then quickly broke away from the main group and flew behind Fuxi and the old woman.

Soon, more than half of the Demon Race had chosen to surrender.

Although Taiyi was incomparably furious, he was powerless to turn the tide.

He could not help but look at his elder brother Di Jun, wanting to see if he had any ideas.

But Di Jun suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha... I never thought it, I never thought it! I never thought that I, Di Jun, would actually have a day where I am betrayed by my kin and abandoned by my followers!"

Seeing his crazed appearance, Taiyi was also very distressed and could not help but say, "Brother, do not be sad; these fellows are not worth you being like this! At the very least, I will always follow by your side!"

"Good!"

Di Jun looked at Taiyi, a gratified smile appearing on his face, but then, when his gaze turned to the Demon Race members who had betrayed him behind Fuxi and the others, his expression suddenly sank again.

He sneered and said, "Do you really think you can survive by surrendering? That is simply wishful thinking! The Demon Race is my, Di Jun's, Demon Race; even if I, Di Jun, have to destroy the Demon Race with my own hands, I will never accept the Demon Race's betrayal!"

Once these words were spoken, many people's expressions changed drastically in unison.

Fuxi, Mengpo, Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, Zhulong, and others all felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

That group of Demon Race who had chosen to surrender also became somewhat panicked.

What was Di Jun trying to do?!

Before they could do anything, Di Jun suddenly unleashed the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique and charged toward the surrendering Demon Race at an astonishing speed.

He shouted crazily, "All of you, go to hell, you traitors!"

Fuxi keenly sensed that the aura on Di Jun's body had suddenly become chaotic and exclaimed abruptly, "Not good, Di Jun is going to self-destruct, everyone hurry and dodge!"

Everyone was stunned with fright.

No one expected that Di Jun, trapped in a desperate situation and suffering from the betrayal of the Demon Race, would choose to self-destruct and take the surrendering Demon Race down with him! But everyone could foresee that if Di Jun succeeded in his self-destruction, these surrendering Demon Race members would definitely not be able to escape!

They might even be triggered to self-destruct along with Di Jun, forming an even more terrifying explosion that would sweep in the Human Race army not far from them!

On the other side, Taiyi, Baize, and other high-ranking members of the Demon Race also did not expect Di Jun to have such a move.

And at this very moment, Taiyi suddenly heard Di Jun's telepathic transmission: "Taiyi, leave quickly! Find an opportunity to avenge me later!"

Taiyi's mind was shaken; only then did he realize that Di Jun was not going mad, but intended to use his self-destruction to create an opportunity for him to escape! But as his brother, how could he choose to live alone?

Thus, he shouted, "Big Brother, I will accompany you; let's kill these members of the Human Race!"

Afterward, he also unleashed the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique and charged madly toward the Human Race army! (End of chapter)
