Chapter 315: Chapter 240 Conversation at Nuwa Palace
At the same time, the Law Golden Wheel within Di Jun surged forth, merging into the slowly turning River Map and Luo Book.
Countless laws emerged, flowing with the River Map and Luo Book, causing chaos in the heavenly secrets.
“The heavenly secrets are now muddled. I wonder if Nuwa is feeling reassured?”
Di Jun looked at Nuwa and spoke with calm composure.
Nuwa lifted her gaze to the River Map and Luo Book engulfing the great hall, feeling the seemingly endless laws within it.
She felt her connection with the Heavenly Dao weakening and could not help but sigh inwardly: The River Map and Luo Book, indeed an Innate Treasure personally cultivated by the Demon Emperor, can actually obscure the Heavenly Dao to such an extent.
A weakened connection to the Heavenly Dao means a restriction of one’s own strength.
However, Nuwa remained uneasy, as the words she was to speak next pertained to the future course of events.
Revealing them to Di Jun would be disclosing heavenly secrets.
In the dark depths of her being, Nuwa knew she should not act so.
But she remembered how the entire Demon Clan had supplied endless resources for her to achieve sainthood.
And especially, Emperor Jun had sheltered her path, playing an immense role during the creation of the Human Clan.
Whether from the perspective of kinship or from the angle of destiny and karma, Nuwa should not hide what she knew about the grand trends.
The Demon Clan, the first race in Primordial.
No matter what the grand trend was, it would affect the entire Demon Clan.
Facing Di Jun’s inquiry, Nuwa remained silent.
Only to see two streaks of light flying out from within her, settling beneath the coverage of the River Map and Luo Book, shining with spiritual radiance.
The Red Embroidery Ball, the Mountain and River Map.
Seeing these two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, Di Jun instantly understood Nuwa’s intentions.
His mind stirred, and the River Map and Luo Book underwent changes, accommodating the essence of these two Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The River Map and Luo Book, the Red Embroidery Ball, and the Mountain and River Map, all three collectively obscured the heavenly secrets.
Nuwa felt her connection to the Heavenly Dao further weakening, but she wasn’t satisfied with just this.
So, taking advantage of this attenuation, she actively began to shield her connection with the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
Only after Nuwa minimized her connection to the Heavenly Dao to a mere thread did she feel satisfied.
Truly severing all connections with the Primordial Heavenly Dao was impossible; not because it couldn’t be done, but because it shouldn’t be done.
A Saint completely breaking connection would imply the Heavenly Dao losing a Saint, and what chaos that might cause, no one could predict.
Later on, even if Nuwa restored her connection with the Heavenly Dao, she could not escape the punishment of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.
In an instant, Di Jun felt Nuwa’s aura and strength diminish greatly.
Though she still maintained the essence of a Saint, both her cultivation and realm had fallen.
Seeing this, Di Jun was taken aback for a moment, then he guessed the reason.
His originally calm expression became very solemn.
He had guessed wrong; it might not be the Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun that Nuwa wanted to shield from but the Heavenly Dao itself.
Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths.
“Nuwa, what matter requires such an extent?”
At Di Jun’s level of understanding, he had a deeper comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, and he realized more clearly that Nuwa’s actions were not without cost.
This was a self-initiated obscuring of the Heavenly Dao; even for Nuwa, who had become a Saint, the price was very high.
The cost was not about being able to harm Nuwa, but it was about her future enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao.
Even if Nuwa restored her connection with the Heavenly Dao, she did not know how much time would be needed to mend and return to her original state.
Nuwa, feeling the faint connection to the Heavenly Dao, let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Di Jun.
“Daoist Di Jun, after I became a Saint, I had contemplated the Heavenly Dao and saw the future trends, which is why I invited you to Nuwa Palace.”
Di Jun couldn’t help but mutter.
He was not unfamiliar with future trends.
According to his original thoughts upon arriving in the Primordial World, he would not have established the Demon Clan, let alone the Heavenly Court.
But now, the Demon Clan has been established, and the Heavenly Court has emerged.
More importantly, Di Jun himself did not resist the role of the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court, even willing to maintain such an identity.
Isn’t this itself a grand trend?
The Law of Destiny within Di Jun flowed slowly, seemingly evolving something.
“May I ask you, Nuwa, what is the status of my Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court in the future trends?”
Di Jun asked directly.
Hearing Di Jun’s question, Nuwa did not speak, her expression very hesitant.
Seeing Nuwa in this state, Di Jun frowned with his serious expression and spoke again.
“Could it be that in the future trends, my Demon Clan declines and the Heavenly Court perishes?”
“Our Demon Clan is strong in fortune and blessed with merit; who would bear such tremendous karma? Could it be that Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun will take action to eliminate us?”
Di Jun fired several questions.
Aside from this possibility, Di Jun could not think of any other.
According to past legends, the Demon Clan was a mix of good and evil; despite occupying the Heavenly Court and having merit, the karma they carried was not small.
First, the Demon Clan was a mixture of good and bad, waging war with the Witch Clan, causing damage to Primordial Heaven and Earth.
Secondly, the queen of the past, to weaken the East King, had once embraced and bathed in the East Sea, resulting in countless marine lives lost, accumulating massive karma.
Third, wantonly slaughtering the Human Clan to forge the Slaughter Witch Sword, causing an inversion of cause and effect, was also considered immense karma.
