When Fuxi mentioned Hu Le, Di Jun didn't show it on his face, but in reality, a shadow had already fallen over his heart.
If it weren't for that guy interfering, he probably would have already achieved the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.
However, because he had been repeatedly defeated by Hu Le, his prestige among the gods plummeted, preventing him from ascending to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor for a long time.
"Hehe... that junior, I already have a solution. As long as you two fellow Daoists support me at the meeting, that will be enough."
He was telling the truth; if he hadn't already made plans, he wouldn't have rashly started this assembly of gods.
"this……"
Fuxi and Nuwa hesitated.
When Nuwa achieved the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit, she owed Hu Le a tremendous debt of karma. Although she offset part of it with the Lotus Lantern, how could a mere innate spiritual treasure possibly repay all the karma of the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit?
Under these circumstances, it was really difficult for the two of them to go against Hu Le.
Fuxi simply stated frankly, "I suppose you are aware that my sister owes you some karma for achieving the Earthly Emperor Dao Fruit. If he opposes your becoming the Heavenly Emperor, my sister and I cannot openly oppose him."
Therefore, before that, I urge you to try your best to persuade Fellow Daoist Xuanxiang.
"As long as he agrees, my sister and I will naturally do our utmost to recommend you as the new emperor."
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun felt a pang of bitterness. Given the enmity he had incurred with that person, even resolving it would be difficult, let alone persuading the other party to support him in becoming the Emperor.
In any case, if their positions were reversed, Emperor Jun himself would never allow the other to become Emperor...
Finally, Di Jun could only give a wry smile, "Alright, I can only do my best from now on... However, I have something to say, and I hope you two will consider it carefully."
Compared to that mysterious phenomenon, you and I are truly kindred spirits…
As he spoke, he stood up, preparing to take his leave...
After all, he knew Fuxi and his sister very well. They were very determined, and once they made up their minds, how could he possibly change their minds with just a few words...
Thinking of all this, he secretly resented the injustice of fate.
Why did the Earth Emperor Seal fall into Xuanxiang's hands, causing him to lose his two most powerful allies?
If it were in his possession, and he were to then present this treasure to the Goddess Nuwa, given their friendship and the immense karma involved, wouldn't both of them do everything in their power to help him?
Alas! Alas...
Di Jun left Phoenix Perch Mountain somewhat displeased.
After Fuxi and his sister personally saw him off, they returned to Nuwa Palace.
"Brother, do you think Fellow Daoist Dijun will be able to achieve his wish this time?"
After the two sat down again, Goddess Nuwa asked with a smile.
Fuxi shook his head. “Difficult! Too difficult… Although he is considered one of the best among his peers, he ultimately lacks the strength and prestige of His Majesty Taiyi. Even with Senior Zhulong’s full support, he may not be able to succeed.”
"Alas! If that's the case, I don't know why Senior Zhulong chose him," sighed the Goddess Nuwa.
"Hehe... Since the fall of Taiyi and his wife, the situation of my divine race has been deteriorating day by day, and now the Xuanmen is coming on strong."
If we do not choose a God-Emperor to lead the God Race now, it may not be long before our God Race is completely suppressed by the Xuanmen and never has a chance to rise again.
That's probably why the Venus Dragon Elder thought of recommending Di Jun to succeed to the throne.
After all, besides Di Jun, there aren't many suitable candidates among my divine race right now.
"As for the one in Heaven, if we're talking about it, he's probably more suitable than Di Jun, isn't he?" Goddess Nuwa pointed in the direction of Heaven and asked with a smile.
Fuxi pondered for a while before replying, "Judging from his past behavior, he doesn't seem to have much interest in the throne."
At this point, he gave a slight wry smile: "Given the current situation, the rise of the Xuanmen and the decline of the Shenzhou are inevitable. It's not surprising that he doesn't care much about this position."
Nuwa nodded slightly: "Yes, only Dijun has always coveted this position, and his ambition has never wavered..."
At this point, she suddenly looked at Fuxi and asked with a smile, "Brother, have you ever thought that besides these two, there is another person who is also qualified to ascend the throne of the Emperor?"
Fuxi was taken aback upon hearing this. After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of anyone more suitable than Dijun and Xuanxiang.
"Who is my sister talking about?" After thinking for a long time, he finally asked directly.
Nuwa smiled gently and pointed at Fuxi, saying, "That person may seem far away, but isn't he right here in front of us?"
Fuxi was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "My sister should know that I have no intention of doing this."
Upon seeing this, Goddess Nuwa couldn't help but shake her head inwardly. This elder brother was good in every way, except that he lacked ambition.
This is the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Emperor, yet he was truly unmoved.
However, the two had a deep affection for each other, and although Fuxi didn't care, she couldn't help but find him a good future.
Therefore, she didn't try to persuade him further, but instead secretly began to plan for Fuxi...
After leaving Phoenix Perch Mountain, Di Jun felt truly stifled. He couldn't help but look up in the direction of the Heavenly Court and then sighed.
Before Hu Le suddenly appeared, he was extremely noble in terms of both status and position among the innate gods.
Many members of the divine race knew that His Majesty Taiyi had secretly already designated him as a candidate for the next emperor.
Di Jun himself was well aware of this and had been waiting for Taiyi to abdicate so that he could smoothly take over the throne.
Even though Taiyi and his wife took Hu Le as their disciple, he never considered this junior a threat.
After all, in terms of both status and strength, Hu Le was worlds apart from him back then.
But to his utter surprise, he was wrong in the end; the junior's growth rate was beyond his expectations.
By the time he was ready to take it seriously and target Hu Le, Hu Le had already grown into a behemoth that he could no longer shake...
Back then, with Taiyi's fall, he thought Hu Le had lost his protection and targeted Hu Le repeatedly, but not only did he fail, he also ended up looking humiliated.
In addition to suffering heavy losses, they also lost face and their prestige among their fellow gods greatly diminished.
Now, Hu Le has become the true Pangu, his Taoist cultivation and magical power have almost reached an unbelievable level, and he also has the Chaos Bell in his hand. Faced with such an opponent, he can only sigh and feel helpless.
If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to bear the wrath of Taiyi and his wife, and even if he couldn't blast Hu Le to dust before he grew up, he would have found a way to cut off his path to enlightenment.
But what's done is done, and no matter how much he regrets it, he can't go back to the past...
After a moment of reflection, Di Jun composed himself and, instead of immediately returning to the Sun Palace, broke through the void and entered the Netherworld…
Meanwhile, Hu Le in the Heavenly Court also received a guest who surprised him...
