Chapter 2019 - 1268: Di Jun Makes His Move (Part 2)
CHAPTER 2019: CHAPTER 1268: DI JUN MAKES HIS MOVE (PART 2)
The focus of Jiang Chen’s attention is also this world. Because Di Jun is in this world, which is also known as the so-called Light Demon.
The true Light Demon was replaced by Di Jun a long time ago. This was information Jiang Chen discovered after a long investigation.
Ever since learning that Di Jun was hiding among the Chaos Demigods, Jiang Chen has been investigating him. To this end, he did not hesitate to use the original source of the Prehistoric World to investigate Di Jun’s past in the Prehistoric World.
And to prevent the past from being altered by others, Jiang Chen also used the Reincarnation Wheel for correction to ensure the information he obtained was accurate.
Under Jiang Chen’s relentless investigation, he indeed discovered quite a bit.
The most important finding was that long ago, Di Jun had contact with the Chaos Demigod shortly after the first great battle between the witches and demons ended.
As everyone knows, the innate saints of the Prehistoric World, more or less, have relationships with the Chaos Demigods. They aren’t just transformed from their original source but also absorbed their original source during gestation.
This led to a situation where the innate saints of the Prehistoric World could easily attract the attention of the Chaos Demigods and thus be replaced by them.
Such incidents in the Prehistoric World didn’t just happen once; they occurred many times. When Jiang Chen previously rebuilt Mount Buzhou, the Chaos Demigods that suddenly appeared were essentially innate saints that had been seized.
Including the Master of the Heavenly Palace, Yu Hua Daoist, and others.
It can be known that many innate saints in the Prehistoric World have been targeted by Chaos Demigods, and some even suffered their attacks. Some could block the attacks; some could not.
And Di Jun was one of those who resisted.
According to Jiang Chen’s investigation, after Di Jun became the Heavenly Emperor, he was targeted by a Chaos Demigod shortly after. That was the Demon God of similar origin, the Light Demon.
When the sun was gestating, it absorbed part of the original source of the Light Demon. Therefore, the innate saints Di Jun and Taiyi, born from the sun, were related to the Light Demon.
Originally, both of them were targets of the Light Demon, but Taiyi had the Chaos Bell protecting him, so the Light Demon didn’t dare to make a move on him, turning his attention to Di Jun instead.
The Light Demon chose Di Jun mainly because he was the Heavenly Emperor. In the Light Demon’s view, by merely replacing Di Jun, he could become the Heavenly Emperor of the Prehistoric World.
Then he could use the powers of the Heavenly Emperor to seize the original source of the Prehistoric World and thereby steal Pangu’s Dao Fruit.
But how could Di Jun, who became the Heavenly Emperor, be a simple character? The Light Demon kept an eye on him for a long time, without ever finding an opportunity to act.
Until the outbreak of the first great battle between the witches and demons, Di Jun was severely injured by the Ancestral Witch, even exposing his original source, which combined with the solar energy to birth the ten Golden Crows.
At that time, seeing this, the Light Demon felt the opportunity had come. The severely injured Di Jun was certainly no match for him. With this thought, he launched an attack on Di Jun.
Then he lost.
Losing to the severely injured Di Jun’s counterattack, not only did he fail to replace Di Jun, but he also delivered a surge of experience to Di Jun, which led to a significant advancement in his cultivation.
After consecutively nurturing ten sons, not only was Di Jun’s original source undamaged, but he became even stronger, reaching the Realm of Primordial Chaos not long after.
Why was this? It was all because of devouring the remaining consciousness of the Light Demon, bringing a great transformation through calamity to fortune for Di Jun.
Because of this, the relationship between Di Jun and the Light Demon deepened.
After the decisive battle between the witches and demons, Taiyi could survive because he had the Chaos Bell protecting him. Why could Di Jun survive?
Because of the Light Demon!
After devouring the Light Demon’s remaining consciousness, Di Jun established a connection with the body of the Light Demon.
Thus, at the last moment when he was about to fall, Di Jun transferred his True Spirit to the body of the Light Demon, thereby successfully escaping a catastrophe.
One thing to note here is that, although light is important, during the Chaos Era, everything was shrouded in darkness. Therefore, the existence of light was extremely thin.
This resulted in the Light Demon’s strength being not very strong, only reaching Primordial Chaos Perfection and not to the Creation Realm level. If not, how would Di Jun dare to take the risk to seize the Light Demon?
Yes, transferring his True Spirit to the body of the Light Demon, Di Jun’s goal was to seize the Light Demon.
The Light Demon wanted to replace him, so he went against the tide and replaced the Light Demon first.
Although it’s unclear what happened between the two, from the current outcome, Di Jun should have successfully replaced the Light Demon, becoming a member of the Chaos Demigods.
Not only that, after replacing the Light Demon, Di Jun did not abandon his original identity.
He split himself into two, mingling with the Chaos Demigods on one hand, and spreading faith on the edges of chaos on the other, attempting to rebuild the Heavenly Court with the power of all beings.
No, it should be called the Divine Court.
Given that Jiang Chen could research the Divine Dao, naturally, Di Jun as the Heavenly Emperor can too. His research on the Divine Dao is even more extreme than Jiang Chen’s.
Jiang Chen’s Divine Dao is to create the Heavenly Court, to appoint gods to govern Heaven and Earth.
Di Jun’s Divine Dao is somewhat similar to the later concept of God, all great power attributed to himself, all things created by him, he is the Creator God, and also omnipotent and omniscient.
All things in the world are his lambs; everything they have is bestowed by him.
Jiang Chen suspects that Di Jun used this method to gather the power of all beings into himself, thus defeating the Light Demon.
However, there is no perfect plan. When Di Jun was fervently spreading faith on the edges of the Prehistoric World.
The Chaos Demigods also began a plan to split the Prehistoric World, also targeting its edges.
Then the conflict arose; Di Jun’s painstakingly cultivated power base was shattered by the Chaos Demigods, and the world he controlled was also completely devoured.
Previously, when Jiang Chen and others repaired Sumeru Mountain, there was a fragment with Di Jun’s aura because the world where this fragment was located was once under Di Jun’s control but was later shattered by Chaos Demigods.
Though his power base was destroyed, Di Jun quickly formulated a new plan even though he was furious.
He operated the Realm of Light as the Light Demon while, as Di Jun, he sought to influence the suns of other worlds, aiming to become the Sun God of all worlds.
However, the matter was accidentally exposed later, causing Di Jun’s identity to be killed by the Chaos Demigods.
This is why Jiang Chen sensed Di Jun’s aura in the sun within the worlds controlled by the Chaos Demigods back then.
Those suns had indeed been refined by him.
Of course, Di Jun’s plan was not that simple, for the Chaos Demigod who killed him was the Light Demon himself.
Seeing his plan exposed, Di Jun decisively acted, using the identity of the Light Demon and using thunderous means to kill Di Jun.
In this way, the forces left by Di Jun were logically taken over by him.
Why has the Realm of Light developed so quickly? How could it so easily assimilate when devouring other worlds? The reason lies in Di Jun’s remaining methods.
Although he is dead, the influence he left on the world could not be completely removed in a short time.
It is by relying on the influence he left that the Light Demon could so easily refine the surrounding worlds, thus making rapid developments.
Di Jun’s style was to develop stealthily, accumulating power in the dark as much as possible. But once the power reaches a certain level, how could it be concealed?
So, in recent times, Di Jun was exposed. All the Chaos Demigods knew that to develop his world, he began to steal the original source from other worlds.
Because of this, Di Jun suddenly became the target of all, singled out by all the Chaos Demigods.
Yet up till now, the Chaos Demigods haven’t discovered Di Jun’s true identity. First, Chaos Demigods had never experienced being replaced, so they didn’t think in this direction.
Secondly, the Chaos Demigods were in a poor state, still not recovered from severe injury, forced into slumber to heal. This led to a lack of deep connection with the outside world, affecting judgment.
If it weren’t for the severe injuries of the Chaos Demigods, would Di Jun’s plan have succeeded?
Seeing the plan exposed, Di Jun didn’t hesitate either; he no longer feared the Chaos Demigods’ siege, merely boldly devouring the surrounding worlds instead of stealthily stealing their original sources.
Is Di Jun afraid of the Chaos Demigods’ siege? Of course, he is, but he knows that if he doesn’t ally with them, there’s no way Jiang Chen could break through the Chaos Demigods’ onslaught.
Therefore, seeing the light of day, Jiang Chen would undoubtedly choose to attack the Chaos Demigods to help share his pressure.
Not cooperating with him, Jiang Chen, how else can he attack the Chaos Demigods’ alliance?
