Great Demon Sun Wukong

It might have been because too much time had passed, or perhaps because Di Jun did not wish to discuss certain matters, which caused Sun Wukong to become increasingly confused the more he heard. In the end, however, with the help of Donghuang Taiyi, he was barely able to make sense of the things Di Jun wanted to convey. Still, some details remained vague between the two of them.

But generally, Sun Wukong had come to understand. Put simply, first, it was because Hongjun the Taoist was so obsessed with breaking through the Great Dao Realm that he caused the Heavenly Dao to errantly evolve spiritual wisdom, and later, it was very likely also influenced by that evil spirit young man, thus finally turning the Heavenly Dao into a conglomerate of greed and malevolence.

However, due to the suppression by Nuwa and Fuxi, the Heavenly Dao was mostly calm most of the time.

Later, Di Jun obtained the World Suppressing Stele, leading the Heavenly Dao to covet it. Therefore, in collusion with the evil spirit young man, they set a trap, luring Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi into a battle in the void. As a result, although Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi defeated Chang'er, Di Jun became infected with the greed of the Heavenly Dao and the malevolence of the evil spirit young man.

Or one might say that Chang'er's goal was not to defeat Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi but to infect Di Jun through the capabilities of the evil spirit young man. And the results showed that Chang'er's move was very successful.

So, Di Jun slowly became unable to control the malevolence and greed within his heart, recklessly attempting to eradicate all life in the Pangu Realm except the Demon Clan. But how could Donghuang Taiyi allow Di Jun to do this, so he spoke out to stop him. Unfortunately, by then Di Jun was already demonically corrupted by evil thoughts and the two of them broke into a fierce fight.

No one could have anticipated that this battle would be their last.

The two of them did not elaborate on the specifics of this great battle, merely mentioning that Donghuang Taiyi's righteous Supreme Divine Artifact, the Chaos Clock, was no match for the World Suppressing Stele and shattered into countless pieces. Donghuang Taiyi, in a desperate move, took Di Jun to the void and self-destructed. Subsequently, both of them died.

However, after Di Jun's death, the World Suppressing Stele did not disappear with his soul as it does now, but vanished on its own. Fortunately, when Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun were involved in the preparation of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation on the World Suppressing Stele, they had already anticipated this event based on astrological predictions.

Therefore, to cleverly engineer fate and reincarnation – even at the cost of their own cultivation – they ensured that in the end, the World Suppressing Stele would come into Sun Wukong's possession.

Nonetheless, they did not delve into this process either. But Sun Wukong did not wish to quibble anymore. Despite feeling like he had been consistently manipulated, after all, as a member of the Demon Clan, he had no choice but to accept being schemed against by an ancestor!

In fact, Sun Wukong was more astonished that the two could predict events millions of years into the future based on astrological positions, almost equal to Nuwa's abilities, no, this ought to be part of the plan orchestrated by the three of them, including Nuwa.

First, Nuwa used the Five-Colored Divine Stone to repair the sky and suppress the Heavenly Dao, seizing the opportunity to leave behind a piece of the Five-Colored Divine Stone, the Earth Attribute incarnation of which became herself. Then, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi arranged for the World Suppressing Stele to end up in their own hands.

No, that's incorrect, another link is missing. Right, it was Yu the Great!

It is very likely that Yu the Great unintentionally obtained the World Suppressing Stele, but after understanding its abilities and the plans of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, Yu the Great utilized the World Suppressing Stele to break the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, before unifying the Nine Provinces and decreeing the division of the worlds.

After accomplishing his great work, Yu the Great sealed the World Suppressing Stele within the Jingu Bang, also known as the Golden Cudgel, and even made a special effort to find himself when he was still a stone, leaving behind his life-bound essence blood so that he could successfully claim the Golden Cudgel, which was in fact the World Suppressing Stele!

Taking a deep breath, everything finally made sense! No wonder, no wonder he felt a strange connection when he first laid eyes on the Jingu Bang.

But at that moment, Sun Wukong suddenly thought, if the Five-Colored Divine Stone was left to him by Nuwa, what about the overbearing Chaos Five Decisions within the Divine Stone? And since he was transformed from the Five-Colored Divine Stone, why did he end up being the Five Elements Chaotic Body in the end?

So Sun Wukong relayed his thoughts to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, and upon hearing this, they were stunned into silence!

Seeing the expressions of the two, Sun Wukong suddenly felt somewhat puzzled.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong? Or is there a problem with the Chaos Five Decisions?"

After being stunned for a moment, the two of them finally regained their senses. Hearing Sun Wukong's question, they looked at each other before Di Jun sighed and said, "It's not just a problem—it's a huge problem! If what you're saying is true, then the issues here are far more complex. But, before I can explain it properly, first, you need to know how the Pangu Realm came into being!"

"The Pangu Realm? Wasn't it created by Pangu the Great God?"

"Although that's not wrong to say, the problem lies with Pangu himself. As the legend of the Pangu Realm goes, when the heavens and earth were one and all was Chaos, at some point a person was born within the Chaos, and that was Pangu. Pangu greatly disliked the feeling of Chaos, and somehow he found a huge axe. With one swing, he split the Chaos in two."

"This legend is largely accurate, the world was indeed created by Pangu, but to be correct, Pangu had already existed. Pangu was a member of the Chaos Tribe from one of the six great divine nations, the Genesis Divine Nation. Although we don't know much about the Chaos Tribe, each member of their tribe has the ability to create worlds.

Therefore, as for the creation of the Pangu Realm, the actual fact is that after the Pangu Realm was spontaneously born, Pangu, for reasons unknown, came to this place. Perhaps it was unintended, perhaps intentional, but upon seeing this world forming, probably could not stand idly by, so he swung his axe and expedited the world's birth! Afterwards, Pangu likely left behind a Dharma Body."

"So, Pangu was a member of the Chaos Tribe, and the hallmark of the Chaos Tribe is the Chaos Five Decisions and the Chaos Body! Now that you possess both things, it is very likely that regarding this World Suppressing Stele, Pangu, or rather the Chaos Tribe, also had a hand in it! If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome!"

After Di Jun finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. For Sun Wukong, all of this was incredibly shocking. It completely overturned the concepts he had always held in his mind.

However, at this moment, Xi Zhao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "The Heavenly Stele in the monkey's hand is Wasteland Soil Number Three. The Wasteland Soil Number Three Heavenly Stele was the World Suppressing Stele of the Dominion of Soil within the original Nine Great Divine Kingdoms.

However, the Dominion of Soil's World Suppressing Stele was lost for reasons unknown, and without its Stele, the Dominion of Soil was destroyed by the Genesis Divine Nation led by the Chaos Tribe. Yet, due to interference and obstruction from the other divine nations, the Genesis Divine Nation has not yet obtained the Dominion of Soil's World Suppressing Stele!"

After pausing, Xi Zhao took a deep breath before continuing, "Looking at it now, this matter is really not simple. It is very likely that Pangu had infiltrated the Dominion of Soil earlier and stolen the Wasteland Soil Number Three World Suppressing Stele, then came to the current location of the Pangu Realm with the Stele.

Coincidentally, he found a small world about to be born, and using his Genesis Divine Power, Pangu helped the world come into being, then left behind a Dharma Body and the World Suppressing Stele. If this is the case, then this must have been a well-planned scheme. The Chaos Tribe must have known the whereabouts of this World Suppressing Stele all along.

The reason they have not come to take it is probably out of fear of being discovered by the other great divine nations."

"Are you saying that the World Suppressing Stele we fought so hard to protect is actually already in someone's pocket?" Di Jun's complexion looked very unsightly. What was thought to be just some disputes within the Pangu Realm now seemed to involve the Genesis Divine Nation and the Chaos Tribe.

Although he and Donghuang were now Nine Patterns Supremes, and there were many Seven and Eight Patterns powerhouses in the Demon War City, their strength was probably inconsequential in the eyes of the Chaos Clock!

Because of the shocking nature of this discovery, none of the three, including Di Jun, considered how Xi Zhao could have known such a secret. They all fell silent, especially Di Jun and Donghuang, who seemed utterly dejected.

Now, this conjecture seemed to be very close to the truth. The power behind the Heavenly Dao must have been the deterrent force of the Chaos Tribe, which is why they could only make subtle moves without daring to openly snatch the World Suppressing Stele. And the Heavenly Dao, or rather its incarnation, must have been used by others as well.
