Chapter 67 Lecture (2)
Di Jun was dumbfounded. He had never subjectively considered that his territory was actually pitifully small. Only after Chang Hao pointed it out bit by bit did he realize that the prosperity he saw today was all an illusion.
He doesn't have much territory, which is the most important part, so he can't be considered one of the three major powers.
"Mo Feichang Hao, do you have a good plan?" Di Jun stared at the blindingly bright map of the prehistoric world, wishing he could tear it off.
“A good plan?” Chang Hao pondered for a moment. “While good plans are not given away for nothing, the Primordial World does not eat for nothing.”
“We’re all family, and Taiyi is truly sincere towards you. You have a good plan, so why are you so heartless as to keep it to yourself, causing me worry and making Taiyi work so hard?” Dijun played the emotional card. “If you really have a good plan, please enlighten me, and I will humbly accept it.”
"Alright, for Taiyi's sake, I'll teach you a few moves." Chang Hao raised his chin slightly, looking quite arrogant.
"Yes, yes, please tell me. If it is truly a good plan, I, Dijun, will owe you a great favor." Dijun was both flexible and willing to make a promise.
Chang Hao raised an eyebrow, not caring about Di Jun's empty promise. In the primordial world, where cause and effect are valued, who could refuse when he asked for this favor in person in the future?
“Although you have many strong men under your command, their quality varies greatly, that’s a fact. Once you show weakness, they will scatter and never come back.” Chang Hao pointed out the crucial point. “After recruiting people with force, you should win them over with virtue and make them truly loyal. Only when all races genuinely recognize the ‘demon race’ and identify themselves as demons, and unite as one, can the great power be achieved.”
Di Jun frowned deeply; this was too difficult.
"You should control the power of rewards and punishments yourself, and not easily delegate them to others. Use both kindness and severity. Over time, kindness will be ingrained in the hearts of demons. If this generation fails, the next generation and the generation after that will surely see it deeply into their hearts." Chang Hao combined theory with practice to help Di Jun identify the hidden dangers of the demon race.
“I’ll give it a try…” Di Jun’s scalp tingled. For the first time, he realized that being the leader of the demon race was not so easy. “The witch race and the immortal palace are powerful. Has Chang Hao taught me how to do this?”
"Since you know they are powerful, are you really going to force your way in and become their balancing force?" Chang Hao lightly shook the handle of his fan. "At this time, it's best to keep a low profile."
“But how can the demon race develop if they don’t fight for territory?” Di Jun paced back and forth, his anxiety beyond words.
"The Wu Clan cannot leave the earth. You, Di Jun, are the incarnation of the sun star. If the earth cannot be squeezed in, there is still the sky. The world is vast and there is much to be done. Why be confined to one place?" Chang Hao didn't understand. In the primordial world, why only focus on the earth?
Di Jun's eyes lit up. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"
At the same time, Di Jun became even more wary of Chang Hao. He knew that Chang Hao was full of bad intentions. While Di Jun had only a superficial understanding of intrigue and power struggles, Chang Hao was very knowledgeable about them and could do them with ease.
Heaven, you are unfair! They all inherit the same memories, there's no reason why Chang Hao can do it but he can't.
"Since you're here, Chang Hao, why don't you help us decide where the new camp should be located? I can also introduce you to some of our people so we don't clash," Taiyi invited.
Chang Hao glanced at Di Jun with a half-smile. Would he dare let him go? If he went, Di Jun's meager resources would be completely transparent in his eyes.
Di Jun hesitated, but seeing the understanding in Chang Hao's eyes, he knew he couldn't let Chang Hao look down on him.
"Let's go, right now." Di Jun waved his hand. With Tai Yi there, Di Jun really didn't believe Chang Hao could do anything to him.
Chang Hao was genuinely surprised. Was Di Jun really that daring, or was he just plain stupid?
"Chang Hao, look, this is Taiyin Star. It's currently protected by Big Brother's formation and serves as our rear base. Anyone who's injured will automatically come here to ask for Emperor's Essence. This place is vast and open, though desolate. It's a good place to spar directly." Taiyi waved his hand, and the mist before their eyes dissipated, revealing the cold and vast Taiyin Star. Just then, a beautiful and graceful girl with a playful and lively air ran towards them from the thick fog.
“Di Jun, Tai Yi, you two still know to come back from the dead? Just now, Ziwei Star…” Chang Xi suddenly choked up, glanced at Chang Hao beside her, stared at him for a few moments, confirmed something, and suddenly lowered her head shyly, “It was you…” Oh no, is it too late to pretend now?
"Let me introduce you, this is our third brother, Chang Hao," Taiyi introduced Chang Xi.
"So your name is Chang Hao," Chang Xi said without looking up, bowing to Chang Hao. "Chang Xi greets you." Chang Xi and Chang Hao, this is fate.
"You know me?" Chang Hao thought for a moment and realized he didn't recognize the uniquely elegant female immortal in front of him.
"Have you forgotten?" Changxi said dejectedly, "Years ago, I was seriously injured and wandered into the prehistoric world, and I almost lost my life several times. On Mount Buzhou, you healed my wounds."
Those gentle, comforting hands dispelled her nightmares and rescued her from danger.
“You must have mistaken me for someone else. I never saved you.” Chang Hao was certain that Chang Xi had mistaken him for someone else. If he had seen such an outstanding female immortal, he would never have forgotten her.
“Impossible,” Changxi said. “You saved my life. If you hadn’t come, I would have died long ago.”
Chang Hao still couldn't remember, so Chang Xi stamped his foot and said, "You weren't alone at the time; there was a man in blue with you, who was bold and unrestrained."
Chang Xi originally wanted to say that the man in blue was wicked and unreasonable, and that he had caused her to lose her hair, but then she thought that the man was probably Chang Hao's friend, so she changed to a nicer way of saying it.
"You are that..." Chang Hao had no recollection of it, but when it came to having a person in blue robes by his side, who else could it be but Tongtian? These damned clouds and trees that can transform everywhere... even the stones by the roadside might transform one day.
"Yes, I am that jade rabbit." Chang Xi lowered her head shyly, as bashful as a delicate flower.
Di Jun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. What is that brat pretending for?
"Changxi, what's wrong with Ziwei Star?" Dijun couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, asking about what was on his mind.
"It's nothing, it's just that the Ziwei Star suddenly lit up. I thought you had encountered the Ziwei Star Lord, but it just dimmed again. Maybe the Ziwei Star Lord is about to be born," Chang Xi replied sassily, glancing at Chang Hao again and again.
Seeing his hesitant manner, Di Jun felt a pang of jealousy and tentatively asked, "I suddenly had the idea to invite Chang Hao to visit Taiyin Star. Could you help me prepare the scale of the banquet for Chang Hao later?"
"Okay, I'll go right away." Even Taiyi could tell from her frequent glances back that Chang Xi had taken a liking to Chang Hao; she had excellent taste.
"That brat has a pretty picky tongue," Di Jun said with a smile. Usually, Chang Xi would do the opposite of what he said, without giving him any face.
"Chang Hao, what do you think? My girl is one of a kind in the world, and there are so many admirers that even the moon goddess Taiyin can't stand them all."
"I am devoted to the Dao, and my heart is as still as water. I have no intention of causing any trouble. You should stop now." What a joke! Chang Hao is perfectly content being an immortal. Why would he invite trouble and get involved in the mortal world again?
Besides, he's seen plenty of couples like this before. They might be so loving at the beginning, but after ten years, just look at them. They'll either be resentful or they'll grow tired of each other. Some will even turn against each other and become enemies. How many couples can stay together until old age with unwavering love and trust?
He now has an endless lifespan, so to find a Daoist partner would be just asking for trouble, and wouldn't be more annoying.
"No taste..." Di Jun rolled his eyes at Chang Hao. He has good fortune but doesn't know how to enjoy it. If it weren't for Taiyi and Changxi always getting along, would it be Chang Hao's turn to refuse?
Taiyi, however, pulled Chang Hao aside and led him to the generals, introducing them one by one. It was clear that Taiyi was genuinely afraid of a misunderstanding where the family members didn't recognize each other...
