Fang Jian was not surprised by Di Jun's reaction and said, "I am very pleased that you are so loyal. Since the three of you are willing to serve as Heavenly Emperors, please do not return to the Qingxiao Treasure Realm. Stay in the Heavenly Palace and wait for the decree."
Emperor Jun bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey the order of the Great Emperor Hongqing."
Xihe and Changyi frowned, not understanding why Di Jun suddenly agreed to such a thing, but they understood their husbands. Since he had accepted the order, there must be a reason, so the two of them also followed suit and accepted the decree.
However, Xihe still raised a question, "Great Emperor Hongqing, the three of us and fellow Daoist Kunpeng are all away serving as Heavenly Emperors. Who will be in charge of the Qingxiao Treasure Realm?"
Fang Jian said, "Recall General Dutian and Master Hengqi Tang Yu to take charge of the Qingxiao Treasure Realm."
At this point, Fang Jian looked at Di Jun and asked, "How many years has Tang Yu been the crown prince?"
Di Jun was stunned and could not answer for a long time. Instead, Chang Yi said, "Sixteen million years."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian said, "Is there a prince who lives for ten thousand years in this world? Fellow Daoist Di Jun, are you willing to give up your position as Demon Emperor?"
Di Jun asked, "Does Great Emperor Hongqing want Tang Yu to succeed him as Demon Emperor?"
"That's right." Fang Jian said, "Tang Yu has been promoted to Demon Emperor and is the master of the Qingxiao Treasure Realm."
Di Jun didn't have any objection. Tang Yu was originally his son, and he was now the Emperor of Heaven. There was nothing wrong with giving the position of Demon Emperor to Tang Yu.
"Yu'er, apart from her lack of strength, has no problem becoming the Demon Emperor." Di Jun nodded and said, "I am willing to abdicate the throne of the Demon Emperor to Tang Yu."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided."
After saying this, Fang Jian looked at the three of them and said, "Fellow Daoists, go back and wait for the imperial edict."
Di Jun and the other two bowed and said goodbye to Fang Jian, then left Mingling Pavilion and left Taishi Xiandu under the guidance of Qingyan Tongzi.
After the three of them left Taishi Xiandu and took the imperial carriage back to Dijun's immortal palace in the heavenly palace, Changyi and Xihe asked the doubts in their hearts about why they agreed to become the emperor of one side.
Di Jun looked at his two beloved wives, shook his head and sighed, saying, "If you don't agree, the Heavenly Court will find out that you possess the Heavenly Fate Sword."
Chang Yi and Xihe: "??? But we don't have it."
Di Jun said, "Great Emperor Hongqing said you have it, so you have it."
Xihe and Changyi were shocked when they heard this, and finally understood. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Chang Yi said, "Why did Great Emperor Hongqing do this?"
Di Jun was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "This time, the destiny is in chaos. Great Emperor Hongqing is the only emperor in the heavenly court who thinks this is a good thing."
"What?" Xihe and Changyi were very confused and asked, "Why?"
Di Jun said, "Great Emperor Hongqing believes that this is an excellent opportunity. The Heavenly Court can take advantage of the chaos in the destiny of heaven to completely eliminate all factors within the Three Realms that are detrimental to the rule of the Heavenly Court and the stability of the Three Realms."
"So... we resolutely refuse to accept the appointment as the Emperor of Heaven, and Emperor Hongqing thinks that we are disobeying the Heavenly Court and wants to eradicate us?" Xihe murmured.
Di Jun sighed and said, "Great Emperor Hongqing has always been decisive in killing. This change in destiny is indeed a good opportunity for him. If the demon race presents a situation that is detrimental to the Heavenly Court, Great Emperor Hongqing will destroy the demon race without hesitation."
"But you abdicated the throne of the Demon Emperor to Yu'er?" Chang Yi asked in confusion.
If Emperor Hongqing wants to exterminate the demon clan, the Demon Emperor will definitely be the first to bear the brunt and be the first to suffer.
Di Jun said, "This is a way to avoid disaster. After the three of us take on the title of Heavenly Emperor, we will all become emperors of the Heavenly Court. And after I abdicate the throne of Demon Emperor, at least on the surface, our relationship with the demon race will be clear. This is one reason. Secondly, Yu'er is deeply trusted by the Great Emperor Hongqing and is extremely loyal to him. If he becomes the Demon Emperor, he will certainly follow the orders of the Great Emperor Hongqing. So this way, no matter how chaotic the Three Realms become in the future, my family and the demon race can be preserved."
Chang Yi said: "But, with destiny in chaos today, there is no guarantee that Heaven will not be..."
Chang Yi didn't say the rest of the words, what she meant was that there was no guarantee that the Heavenly Court would not be replaced.
But Di Jun understood her meaning and said, "The Heavenly Court has ruled over the three realms since the creation of the world. How can its foundation and destiny be easily replaced? Let me tell you, as long as Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism do not unite, no one can replace the Heavenly Court."
After hearing Di Jun's words, Xihe sighed and said, "Whether it's the Heavenly Palace or the Three Realms, the current situation is so dangerous. And we are stuck in it. Alas, things in this world are beyond our control."
Di Jun heard Xihe's lament, but he did not say anything. They were just a wave in the flood, unable to choose their own direction and could only be swept forward by the trend.
But they are the emperors of heaven and golden immortals after all, and they are also a wave in the flood that holds power and can exert their own strength. Those creatures with low Taoism and status are truly helpless and are not even considered waves.
...
Taishi Immortal Capital, inside Minngling Pavilion.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu asked Fang Jian, "Did the Great Emperor just have murderous intentions?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Although the demon race has submitted to the Heavenly Court, they are still a separate race. They are submitting now only because the Heavenly Court is so powerful. If the Heavenly Court declines in the future, there is no guarantee that it will not cause chaos. If one day the demon race encounters such a situation, I will definitely destroy it."
When Emperor Zhenwu heard this, he had a vague premonition in his heart. Fang Jian first prepared to suppress the Chaos Demon, and then had murderous intentions towards the two Demon Queens. It was clear that he wanted to solve all worries for the Heavenly Court.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu immediately asked, "Great Emperor, will you one day also 'survive the calamity and pass away' like the Great Emperor Zixiao?"
Although he did not know the true circumstances of the Queen Mother's departure, the Great Emperor Zhenwu knew that "surviving the calamity and leaving" was just an external statement, and there must be a deeper hidden story.
Now seeing Fang Jian's series of actions, Emperor Zhenwu asked.
Fang Jian didn't deny or confirm it, but simply asked, "What if such a day really comes?"
Zhenwu Emperor's eyes fixed, this sentence had already given the answer. Zhenwu Emperor no longer asked questions, nor did he have any doubts. He simply bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
