As agreed—unilaterally—Di Xiu went to guard the entrance to the Demon Realm, determined to ensure that Ming Wuqiu, who was concerned about the well-being of the people, would not die in peace.
He shrunk the Zhige Palace and took it with him, placing it outside the Demon Realm. The Immortal Emperor, busy dealing with envoys from the three realms of demons, ghosts, and humans, took a moment to use a teleportation talisman to ask him, "Divine Lord, what are your plans?"
A person with a demonic mark at the corner of his eye squeezed next to the Immortal Emperor, respectfully addressed him as "Divine Lord," and cautiously asked, "May I ask, Divine Lord, what are your plans for dealing with the Demon Realm? We should cooperate with you, shouldn't we?"
Di Xiu remained noncommittal: "It all depends on what kind of punishment the Demon Realm gives me."
The Demon Realm didn't dare to delay. Three days later, they produced the agreed-upon rules, which Emperor Xiu burned without even looking at them.
"I have two conditions: the remains of the Demon God and the secret realm of the Demon God's inheritance."
The demon realm would naturally not agree to this.
Emperor Xiu didn't mind. He taught the immortal herbs how to cultivate every day, and sometimes he would sit on the roof of the Zhige Hall to look at the stars and the moon. He set up a barrier so that no one except 001 could enter.
Bored, he told 001 about the origin of the gods and the emergence of the Six Realms. Xiancao was also curious and squatted in the corner listening quietly. 001 noticed her and pulled her over.
"The gods, including the demon gods, were born from the immense energy at the beginning of chaos. We call them chaotic spirits. After countless years, they gradually developed consciousness and condensed into physical forms."
"All intelligent life forms are divided into races according to their initial form. Those born in human form are called the Immortal Race, those with intelligence but not in human form are called the Demon Race, and we are called the God Race. There are actually many innate spiritual beings now, but their energy is not enough, so they are not classified as our God Race."
"In the beginning, all kinds of creatures were very powerful, but as they reproduced, they became weaker and weaker, although their reproduction speed was fast. Thus, the human race separated from the immortal race, and all those without intelligence in the demon race were directly rejected. The prototype of cultivation also appeared at that time, and it has developed into what it is today."
"According to Qi, when he became conscious, there was only one continent in the world. The closer to the center, the denser the spiritual energy. At first, nothing happened, but later, as more and more humans and demons appeared, they fought fiercely for the best territory, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and incurring the wrath of the Heavenly Dao. That's when the Six Realms and countless small worlds were separated."
Who is Qi?
"The first god, and he is the one who brought us together."
"Oh, go on."
"Before the Great War of Division, when a life died, it was simply gone; the concept of a soul did not exist. During that great upheaval in the Heavenly Dao, the gods were granted divine status, and Qi obtained the authority over time and space. With the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, he established the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm."
Emperor Xiu was silent for a while, then lowered his voice: "Two other gods obtained the authority over life and death. They were also instructed by the Heavenly Dao to annihilate themselves and transform into reincarnation. From then on, all life had a past and a future."
He became aware of things relatively late and never saw those two gods.
001 muttered, "The way of Heaven gives these two kinds of authority, it doesn't seem like it has any good intentions."
Di Xiu nodded in agreement.
"Oh right, what about the god? What power did he obtain?"
Di Xiu shook his head: "I have never seen Hui, and Qi does not know exactly what power she obtained. She suddenly disappeared one day."
He continued speaking.
"The central part of the continent was eventually divided into the realm of gods, the area near the center was divided into the realm of demons and the realm of immortals, the demon realm and the ghost realm were newly opened spaces, and the rest of the land was split into small worlds and distributed to a large number of humans and other unintelligent creatures."
"In that great war, half of the lives were lost. All the negative emotions during the war were amplified infinitely. Killing intent, evil aura, and karmic obstacles spread. The demon race expanded rapidly and took the opportunity to grow stronger. At the same time, the first demon god appeared. Chaotic spirits mixed and slaughtered, giving birth to Annihilation."
001 Suddenly realized.
"Qi thought he was one of them and took him back, but Yan's personality was completely different from theirs. He was fond of plundering, bloodthirsty, greedy, and even tried to seize Qi's godhood. After being exposed, he fled the God Realm."
"Demons also have divine attributes, but they are not based on time or space; at least they are neutral, leaning more towards the negative, such as destruction, greed, killing, plague, etc. They are often born alongside calamities. Qi wants to stop Annihilation from causing chaos, but he can never find him."
Emperor Xiu spoke for a long time, until he talked about the chaos caused by demons and gods.
001 sighed, "They're all going full damage, while you're just bringing support. One realm versus five, twelve versus thirteen... Hmm... it's hard to judge the outcome. But from the perspective of the timeline, the Demon God is still the ultimate winner."
Something flashed in Di Xiu's eyes, and he smiled noncommittally.
"From what you've said, I get the feeling that Heaven wants your divine race to perish. Aren't you angry?"
"I was quite angry at first."
"And now?"
"I've figured some things out, but I'm still a little angry."
"What's wrong?" 001 sensed that he was hiding something, and shook his arm, pressing him repeatedly, "What is it? Don't keep me in suspense."
However, Di Xiu insisted on not telling him.
"Then why don't the other gods have surnames, but you are surnamed Di?"
"Once, the Immortal Emperor got drunk and said that my single name was not majestic enough. He suggested that I take the surname Emperor to remind the Six Realms that I am equal to the Immortal Emperor. Later, when we got engaged, we needed to prepare for the registration of the Immortal Realm, so we registered Emperor Cultivation."
"This works?!"
“I remember telling you to call me Xiu.”
"..."
...
On the demon side, after more than a month of wrangling, they were still intimidated by the Emperor's tyranny and signed a humiliating treaty that ceded their territory.
Emperor Xiu entered the Demon Realm again, and under the despairing gazes of the new Demon Lord and all the elders, he personally destroyed the remains of the Demon God and the secret realm of inheritance.
