Feeling that familiar yet chilling sensation, Xihe's heart sank.
In truth, she knew perfectly well that the boy in front of her was most likely an imposter, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
For someone as deeply saddened as her, you don't need to deliberately deceive her; just give her a little bit of hope, and she'll deceive herself.
At this moment, the young man stared at Zu An with a cold expression: "For the grand ambition in my heart, I have been meticulously planning for countless years, but I never expected that it would almost be ruined by you in the end. For this alone, you have enough to be proud of."
"What a load of bull! It's all for your own selfish reasons. You even killed your own son to refine this evil array. And you still have the nerve to talk so high and mighty!" Zu An spat, clearly very disdainful.
"What do you know, you ant!" Di Jun sneered. "To eliminate those despicable witch clans, some necessary sacrifices are inevitable. Besides, after we destroy the witch clans, we will obtain a new world, where they will live forever in another form. Isn't that better than before?"
"You're a madman, you're a madman!" Xihe couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing.
“Xihe, you have disappointed me greatly. You, the dignified Sun Goddess and wife of the next Heavenly Emperor, actually went and flirted with an ordinary human. You truly have no self-respect.” Dijun stared at him coldly. “However, I am magnanimous and will give you another chance. As long as you return to my embrace, I can forgive and forget what happened before.”
Xihe laughed in fury: "You killed my son, do you think I would still be with you?"
“They are just dead now,” Di Jun said calmly. “After I become a saint, it will not be difficult for me to resurrect them. Why do you care so much?”
"You can resurrect them?" Xihe's eyes lit up. Over the years, she had schemed and plotted, even going so far as to travel through time, all to change history and save her sons from their tragic fate. If the other party could really resurrect those golden crows after becoming a saint, it seemed to be more valuable than all her efforts over the years.
“Of course, you’ve already become a saint, do you think you still can’t do this?” Di Jun said proudly.
“I don’t think you can do it,” Zuan suddenly interrupted.
Di Jun narrowed his eyes: "You can't talk about ice when it's summer. How could an ant like you imagine the power after reaching the Saint Realm?"
“Is that so? But there was a recent example. After Zhulong’s son, Yayu, was killed, the Heavenly Emperor Zhuanxu immediately bestowed upon him the elixir of immortality. Unfortunately, although Yayu was revived, he ultimately became a mindless monster. So, was Yayu truly revived?” Zu’an had now roughly figured out the various reasons, and spoke with composure.
"Hmph, just because Zhuanxu couldn't be saved before reaching the Saint Realm doesn't mean I can't save him after becoming a Saint," Di Jun said impatiently.
"But the elixir of immortality was born before heaven and earth, containing the fundamental Dao of the universe. Even with the power of Zhuanxu Zhulong, this spiritual medicine could not revive it. What can you do after you become a saint?" Zu An sneered. "The key to reviving the Golden Crow is not whether you become a saint or not, but something else entirely."
"What is it?" Xihe was both surprised and delighted, as the other party's words seemed to imply that her son could be saved.
"You actually believe this pretty boy's sweet talk?" Di Jun sneered repeatedly. "Even Zhuanxu couldn't do anything about it, and I won't have this ability until I become a saint. What level of cultivation does he have now?"
Xihe was immediately dampened by this news. Yes, although Zu'an was quite strong, there were many people in the Heavenly Court who were stronger than him. At most, the gods of the Heavenly Court could only save a walking corpse. What could he possibly do?
"The reason why the elixir of immortality could only save a walking corpse like the Yayu before is because there is no Netherworld or the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world now. After a person dies, their soul easily dissipates into the world. So they only saved the Yayu's body, but did not find his soul." Zu'an looked at Di Jun, "Even if you become a saint, you can only save the Golden Crow's physical body, and you cannot save his soul at all."
“The Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation…” Di Jun frowned. “What nonsense is this?”
Xihe, however, seemed to remember something; she had heard of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in her later life: "Then do you have a way?"
"I can only try, I'm not sure if I can succeed." Zu'an didn't want to lie to her.
Hearing him say that, Xihe breathed a sigh of relief: "I believe you. I'm already very grateful that you're willing to help. Even if we fail, I'm mentally prepared."
Di Jun, standing to the side, was furious: "Xi He, you used to be so clever, why were you so easily fooled by this pretty boy's random words? Have you really fallen in love with this human?"
The goddess of Wushan looked at the three of them strangely, her gaze sweeping over them as if she were a spectator.
Xihe was so angry that her face turned red, and she simply said, "He may be just an ordinary human, but he is a hundred times better than you, a beast who harms his own child!"
At this moment, Zu'an spoke up: "Xihe, don't let him control your emotions. He's just stalling for time by telling us all this. If I'm not mistaken, your main body is currently engaged in a great battle with the Wu Clan. Right now, you only have a wisp of your soul in this body, and you're not entirely confident in dealing with us. So, what you just said was probably to try and get Xihe's help."
Di Jun narrowed his eyes: "You little bastard, you're indeed clever. I should have killed you sooner!"
The anger from Di Jun has increased by 444...
“We really need to settle our scores!” Zuan stood up. Now that the Five Elements Demon Suppression Heavenly Evolution Array had successfully activated the Heavenly Palace’s purification power, they no longer needed to maintain it.
"You're courting death!" Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Di Jun could no longer hold back. He spread his wings, and the feathers transformed into golden arrows, directly enveloping the area where the three of them were, launching a saturation attack.
