Chapter 286 comes from the heart and is absolutely true.
Hongjun turned his head and immediately used this news to please Chang Hao, saying to curry favor, "That's how it is. We've searched the entire River of Time but can't find Dijun and Xihe. They might have left a backup plan, and they're probably hiding somewhere now. Are you happy?"
Chang Hao was completely stunned by the news as soon as he arrived at Zixiao Palace.
"But I wrote the Investiture of the Gods..." Chang Hao was skeptical, suppressing his excitement so that he wouldn't turn from joy to sorrow.
"This is what the Heavenly Dao says, and it may be true." Hongjun did not rule out the possibility of this, nor did he attribute everything to the Heavenly Dao. In case it was his limited cultivation level that prevented him from rescuing Dijun, it would damage his image of being omnipotent.
Unbeknownst to Hongjun, his emotions were becoming increasingly volatile, and he was becoming more and more vibrant.
“Think carefully, where is the place that Di Jun trusts the most? He might be hiding there,” Hongjun analyzed for Chang Hao.
Chang Hao, lost in thought, rested his chin on his hand. Suddenly, a sentence popped into his mind from the depths of his memory, swirling endlessly: 'You plan to establish a demon race, have you made a plan for Taiyi, Xihe, and your future children...?'
It seems that Di Jun listened. Why do I suddenly feel a little relieved?
Who is the father and who is the son?
Hongjun's fingers were itching to move, and he reached out and gently pinched Chang Hao's cheek. "Snap out of it, what are you thinking about so absentmindedly?"
"I think Di Jun can sometimes listen to what people say." Chang Hao recalled the few lessons he had given Di Jun on a whim, and now it seemed to have been effective.
"It doesn't matter. No matter whether Di Jun listens or not, he can't cause trouble anymore." Hongjun had already decided that no matter what Di Jun was doing now, as long as he was found, he would definitely be on the Investiture of the Gods list, saving Chang Hao the trouble of protecting his father.
Chang Hao's time is so precious, there's not enough to go around.
Chang Hao glanced at Hongjun, then lowered his eyes and thought of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel. The Sun Essence Wheel was in Yuanshi's hands. If Xihe was inside, Yuanshi couldn't have failed to discover it.
So……
Chang Hao took the Moon Essence Wheel from his waist and examined it over and over. He was somewhat disappointed. Xi He's cultivation level was far inferior to his. If she were inside the Moon Essence Wheel, he would have discovered it long ago.
It's just that they're not giving up.
Hongjun glanced at the Moon Essence Wheel and said, "You might as well think about where Dijun might be hiding. Since Dijun has left a backup plan, he couldn't have left one only for himself. He must have left backup plans for everyone he cares about."
That makes sense, Chang Hao thought of the Hetu and Luoshu.
The Hetu and Luoshu lost their precious light at that time, and Chang Hao felt that they were no different from ordinary items when he held them in his hands. He originally thought that it was because they were the natal magic treasures of the person who was in charge of the calamity, and that they had died for their master.
Looking back now, Di Jun was a cunning man who must have used the characteristics of the Hetu and Luoshu to set up a formation to confuse the Heavenly Dao.
Since that formation could confuse the Heavenly Dao, blocking the Investiture of the Gods would naturally be no problem. Emperor Jun must be hiding in the Hetu Luoshu at this moment.
Chang Hao's heartache for Di Jun dissipated, replaced by anger. He ground his back teeth, furious.
Give him back his tears...
Hongjun keenly sensed Chang Hao's subtle emotions and raised an eyebrow. He could finally relax a little, at least Dijun wouldn't be in his way anymore.
"I'll go deal with the matter of our great Demon Emperor first, and I'll come find you later." Chang Hao hadn't forgotten that the Hetu Luoshu was in Fuxi's hands at the moment.
If the former Demon Emperor incurs divine retribution and accidentally kills the current Human Emperor, then things will get really messed up, and he'll be in big trouble.
"The important matter is the priority; I'm fine." Hongjun was impressed with himself; he hadn't expected to be able to say something so insincere so smoothly.
It doesn't matter, but Hongjun felt very sad at this moment. No matter what, Dijun and Xihe are different from others, and Hongjun was worried about his position in Changhao's heart.
However, Chang Hao was a man of great talent; his ability to read people's expressions was a skill he had once used to save his life. Moreover, Hongjun's disguise was so clumsy and awkward that he could easily see through Hongjun's insincerity.
Chang Hao, after considering the situation, guessed Hongjun's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you worried about? Are you perhaps worried that with my parents still alive and enjoying family life, I'll forget about you?"
“You know perfectly well why you ask,” Hongjun said, seeing that Chang Hao had seen through him, so he didn’t hide it anymore. “In the future, you will have a father and mother, and relatives and friends. You probably won’t remember me, who was trapped in Zixiao Palace. I am no match for Dijun and Xihe. I should have known this long ago.”
Hongjun was filled with resentment and regretted once again that he had not taken Chang Hao as his disciple. Master and disciple were of the same blood and spirit, how could Dijun compare to him? Now that he had attained the Dao, he was no longer himself, and he could no longer take Chang Hao as his disciple.
“How can you think like that?” Chang Hao immediately retorted, “How can the kindness of giving birth compare to the kindness of raising? The kindness of raising is greater than the heavens. Di Jun is no match for you. No one is more important than you. Do not belittle yourself.”
His time in Zixiao Palace was the most carefree and leisurely period of his life. He had no worries and only needed to find some fun for himself in his spare time. Apart from occasionally feeling guilty towards Hongjun, there was nothing wrong with him.
Hongjun's eyes shone brightly, his heart filled with warmth. Although he believed Chang Hao's words, he insisted on being stubborn: "Are you telling the truth? Don't try to deceive me with your sweet words. I will believe you."
"Everything I said is true, it comes from the bottom of my heart, and there's not a single lie." Chang Hao reassured Hongjun without hesitation.
He had family, a lover, friends, and loyal subordinates, but Hongjun had nothing but this swindler he picked up from the chaos.
"Your love for me is the most selfless. I remember every little thing you've done. It will never be forgotten and will only grow stronger over time. You are the most important person to me."
Chang Hao was a man who valued relationships the most; otherwise, Yuan Shi would never have had the opportunity.
Everyone has their own selfish desires, and Chang Hao was no exception; he was indeed biased towards Hongjun.
"Since you say so, I'll believe you for now and see how you perform." Hongjun clearly wanted Chang Hao to come to Zixiao Palace more often, but he deliberately kept it to himself.
The Heavenly Dao stirred restlessly, waiting to see who would shine. Hadn't Lu Ya performed well enough? If he continued to perform, wouldn't it fall into a deep slumber?!
"I think I should just move back to Zixiao Palace. That way, no one's feeling lonely and idle, always thinking about all sorts of nonsense," Chang Hao muttered to himself. "It's settled then. I'm going to go rescue my father now..."
"Who said it was a deal with you? You said it yourself. I didn't force you to come back." Hongjun said one thing but meant another, but his body language betrayed him. He got up and walked towards the side hall where Chang Hao was staying.
Some of the decorations need to be changed. Chang Hao is a bit fussy; he'll never be used to ordinary things...
Fortunately, there are not many benefits to merging with the Dao of Heaven, except that it is extremely convenient to obtain some deeply hidden treasures from all over the prehistoric world.
The side hall was personally decorated by Hongjun, making it radiant and comfortable in every way, far more exquisite than his own residence.
"Having lived in a place like this, I probably wouldn't be used to living anywhere else," Hongjun muttered to himself, his eyes brimming with self-satisfaction.
