Chapter 176 Departure
"I have agreed to Xihe's request and will no longer be able to come to the Demon Court. From now on, there will be no more nine Golden Crow Princes in the Primordial World, only Prince Lu Ya." Chang Hao released the nine listless Golden Crows from the Demon Refining Pot.
"This is terrifying, this is terrifying, the Golden Crow is going to die..." As soon as Xiao Jiu and the others came out, they burrowed into Chang Hao's sleeve.
They were truly terrified. First, they were nearly killed by the Sun-Shooting Arrow, which was shrouded in Rahu's demonic energy. Then, they were overwhelmed by the auras of two saints. Next, they were almost refined in the Demon-Refining Pot...
One crisis followed another. The thrilling adventure was not something everyone could endure. The nine of them cried out to heaven and earth in the Demon Refining Pot, but none of their fathers, mothers, or uncles were reliable. In the end, it was Xiao Shi who brought them out.
At this moment, Chang Hao was incredibly reliable in their eyes, providing a greater sense of security than Di Jun.
Chang Hao had nine restless little golden crows tucked into his sleeve. He raised his hand and patted Xiao Shi soothingly, secretly signaling Xiao Shi to be patient a little longer, as he would be taking him home soon.
Xiao Shi was furious. The main body just abandoned him like that; it was so unfair.
"My children, Uncle Changhao is Father's good brother. You can follow him without worry. After Father defeats the Wu tribe in one fell swoop, he will bring you home." Dijun looked down at Changhao's sleeve, where his nine sons were hidden.
Xiao Jiu and the others froze. Wait, weren't they just crawling into Xiao Shi's sleeve? When did they become his uncle?
"Chirp..." Little Jiu couldn't stand it anymore. If they call him Uncle now, will they have to call him Father God later? Why is calling him Father God so troublesome? They might as well just go straight to the point and call him Father Emperor.
Chang Hao couldn't understand bird language, but he had Xiao Shi as an inside man. Seeing that things were going badly, he immediately silenced Xiao Jiu and the others.
"Father, Xiao Jiu and the others said they want to recognize Chang Hao as their Father God. Did you hear that?" Xiao Shi casually shouted, drawing the attention of Di Jun and Tai Yi to him. As long as they weren't fully focused on the main body, this little action of the main body would definitely not be noticed.
"I have no objection, as long as Chang Hao agrees." Di Jun gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't voice his objections now.
The nine little golden crows were stiff all over, their little heads spinning wildly, still not understanding what was going on.
Chang Hao said, "This pot is a magical artifact of the Goddess Nuwa. Di Jun, please help return it to the Goddess Nuwa." His words were becoming increasingly absurd and utterly disrespectful.
“Alright,” Di Jun took the Demon Refining Pot with one hand and held Xiao Shi’s hand with the other, happily turning the page. “I’m taking Xiao Shi to Nuwa’s Palace anyway, so I’ll just take him along the way.”
"I don't want to go to Nuwa Palace, I want to go with you." Xiao Shi shuddered and held onto the main body tightly. "I can also help you keep an eye on your brothers. If anything goes wrong, I'll notify you immediately. Anyway, Father doesn't dare to let me patrol the heavens anymore."
"Why don't we bring Xiao Shi along? He's the most well-behaved and he really keeps an eye on his brothers." The ten little golden crows were always inseparable, and Taiyi couldn't help but chime in when he saw Xiao Shi all alone and pitiful.
“I’ve brought all nine of them, so one more won’t make a difference. As long as Dijun agrees, I have no problem with it.” Chang Hao didn’t object, which made things easier for him. However, Dijun would need to talk to Nuwa himself.
"Alright, you can take him away." Seeing that Xiao Shi was really resistant, Di Jun gave up. Apart from the Six Saints, no one in the prehistoric world should be a match for Chang Hao.
Chang Hao suddenly realized something was wrong, "What's going on with that little sun in the sky?"
Di Jun: "Nuwa extracted a wisp of the sun's essence and temporarily refined a fake one to deal with it for a hundred or two hundred years. This is not a long-term solution. Once I eliminate the hidden dangers, I will still patrol the heavens as usual. There is no easier way to earn merit than this."
Before that, Di Jun had to deal with the threat first; otherwise, he would not agree to the celestial patrol.
Xiao Shi secretly rejoiced, knowing that once he returned to his original self, this wretched job would never be his turn.
"You actually dared to do that." Chang Hao looked at Di Jun with new respect. He knew the origins of each star system, otherwise Di Jun wouldn't have brought Taiyi to shout and kill him when Chang Hao took human form.
"Even if we're reluctant, we have to give it up. Nuwa is a saint after all. With her around, the demon race will have a safety net no matter what." Di Jun wasn't so arrogant as to think he would definitely win.
The Twelve Divine Fiends Formation of the Witch Clan jolted Emperor Jun awake, making him realize that the situation was not as optimistic as he had thought.
“That’s good. There are gains and losses.” Chang Hao glanced at the two of them one last time. With Xi He around, he would probably find it difficult to secretly carry out his plans again. “I’m leaving. On the battlefield, everyone fights for their own master, and killing is understandable. But remember, do not commit unnecessary killings.”
Chang Hao left, and Di Jun glanced at Taiyi, secretly pondering how to ensure his invincibility.
The outcome will be decided by a contest. The Wu tribe will not submit, and Emperor Jun will not give up. He will not settle the matter peacefully unless he does. I'm afraid that even if the matter is settled, it will be difficult for others to find peace.
"Chang Hao is as close to you and me as a brother, and he will definitely treat his nephews as his own children. Xiao Shi and his brothers are very close and will help each other just like you and I did when we were young. Brother, you don't need to worry." Taiyi thought that Di Jun was feeling heavy-hearted because he was reluctant to see his nephews leave, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
"I'm not worried..." On the contrary, Xihe's actions relieved Dijun of his worries. As long as he could ensure that Xihe and Taiyi would not perish on the battlefield, he could rest easy and die peacefully.
Hoping that Nuwa could find a way to break the dreaded constraint of Daoist couples living and dying together is utter nonsense. If he were to die, he would certainly want Xihe to live well, not to be buried with her.
……………………
Chang Hao quietly left the Demon Court, holding Xiao Shi's hand and carrying Xiao Jiu and a few others, and was in a bit of a dilemma.
Where should we place these ten blazing little suns?
Lishan?
That's not a good idea. What if we accidentally start a fire and set the mountain on fire? Xiao Jiu and the others aren't like Xiao Shi.
West Sea?
It might dry up the West Sea.
Glancing at the Jade Fan in his hand, he recalled the valley where the banana leaves were first discovered. It was a place rarely visited by humans, where spiritual energy turned into mist, and where there was also a primordial maze.
Chang Hao had originally intended to take that place for himself, but he didn't have time to do so. Now was the perfect time to place the ten little golden crows there.
But when Chang Hao arrived at the place, he found that water and fire clashed, which would hinder the little golden crows' cultivation.
The world is so vast that there's nowhere to settle the little golden crow. Wherever it goes, it's like a volcanic eruption, making it impossible for any living creature to stay.
Just as he was struggling with this, Chang Hao thought of the Hongmeng Pearl. Although it was very desolate and the spiritual energy was thin, he had just learned some basic knowledge of the Dao of Creation, so he could try his hand at it.
Chang Hao turned and headed towards the Sun Star, intending to transform the interior of the Hongmeng Pearl into a miniature Sun Star, making it the safest way to carry the little golden crows with him.
Taking advantage of his ability to draw endless spiritual energy from the Sun Star, Chang Hao went to great lengths to create chaos.
