Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation

Sui Ren looked at Tai Hao with an indifferent expression and said, "Do you know how to join the Demon Clan?"

"I know this method, it is widely circulated in the Primordial World."

Tai Hao replied.

"In that case, you can go and collect the celestial light for your examination."

"When the examination comes, return to this Human Clan Ancestral Hall, and we three will protect you."

Tai Hao nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "Thank you, three Ancestors of the Human Clan."

Afterward, Tai Hao left the Human Clan Ancestral Hall to prepare for the Demon Clan examination.

Once Tai Hao had left, You Chao could no longer hold back and asked Sui Ren, "Brother, why let Tai Hao join the Demon Clan? Do you really believe he can return to the Human Clan after leaving the Demon Clan?"

Zi Yi also looked at Sui Ren, their eyes filled with inquiries.

Sui Ren remained calm, saying, "Tai Hao has made up his mind; can we change it?"

You Chao and Zi Yi understood this point too, but did it mean they had to let Tai Hao join the Demon Clan?

Before You Chao and Zi Yi could ask again, Sui Ren spoke once more, "Moreover, in my view, Tai Hao may not even be able to join the Demon Clan."

Sui Ren's tone was very confident, as if he was certain Tai Hao could not join.

"Impossible! Tai Hao has great talent and will surely meet the standards to join the Demon Clan."

You Chao reflexively countered.

Zi Yi seemed to think of something and was quietly pondering, without speaking.

"When did talent alone become the criterion for joining the Demon Clan?"

"Even Quasi-Saint Beings cannot join the Demon Clan if they fail the examination."

Sui Ren looked beyond the hall, as if seeing Tai Hao's departing figure, and continued speaking.

"Throughout the ages, although the contents of the Demon Clan's examination have never been leaked, some beings have found certain patterns."

"That is, sincerity!"

"For those who wish to join the Demon Clan, sincerity is the key to passing the examination."

You Chao and Zi Yi reflected on this; they had indeed heard about it before.

But as they did not wish to join the Demon Clan, they had pushed this information aside.

Now, hearing Sui Ren mention it again, they remembered.

Judging by Tai Hao's behavior, he did not seem sincere towards the Demon Clan, which explained why their brother agreed to let him take the examination.

"Brother, what if Tai Hao also knows this?"

Zi Yi could not help but ask.

Sui Ren's gaze was far-reaching, and he spoke slowly, "Perhaps he already knows, but how easy is it to deceive one's own heart?"

"If he truly joins the Demon Clan, it means he identifies with them more. We can only keep a spark of connection with him."

You Chao and Zi Yi nodded at their brother's words and did not speak further.

If his heart truly sided with the Demon Clan, forcing him to stay with the Human Clan would be futile.

...

Time passed swiftly, and Tai Hao once again stepped into the Human Clan Ancestral Hall.

The three Ancestors of the Human Clan were not surprised by Tai Hao's appearance.

After hearing Sui Ren's words, You Chao and Zi Yi did not continue to persuade him.

"Let's begin."

Sui Ren said.

Tai Hao nodded, sat down in the Human Clan Ancestral Hall, and slowly closed his eyes.

As Sui Ren had expected, since he wanted to join the Demon Clan and learn their civilization, he must have thought about how to pass the examination smoothly and join them.

He indeed knew that most of those who joined the Demon Clan did so because of their sincerity.

This is no secret to those wanting to join the Demon Clan.

So Tai Hao closed his eyes and adjusted his mind to show sincerity towards the Demon Clan.

After a long while, Tai Hao opened his eyes again, and the celestial light he had collected formed the simplest Celestial Heaven Star Formation, known in the Primordial World.

In an instant, Tai Hao felt the shift of time and space, as Qian Kun reversed, entering a strange realm.

In this space, there was only one being—Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan!

Taiyin Star.

Di Jun sensed the familiar aura, opened his eyes, and softly said, "Tai Hao is participating in the Demon Clan's Spiritual Illusion Realm examination again?"

At this moment, Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan was indeed very surprised.

Fu Xi had willingly sealed his Origin and memory to reincarnate as a Human Clan member, seeking a chance to become a Saint.

But now Tai Hao wants to return to the Demon Clan?

What exactly happened?

The Heavenly Destiny on him has already flourished, and staying with the Human Clan was the best choice at this time.

Emperor Jun contemplated this, but he did not intend to stop Tai Hao; instead, he let him participate in the Demon Clan's Spiritual Illusion Realm examination normally.

If he passes the Spiritual Illusion Realm examination, Fu Xi's slim chance of becoming a Saint would be almost extinguished, considered a failure of reincarnation.

If he cannot pass the examination, he may truly become a Human Clan member with a chance to vie for the Saint's path.

In the Spiritual Illusion Realm, Tai Hao faced the Master of Dharma before him, bowing in respect.

Firstly, he was grateful for the River Map and Luo Book lent to him by the Master of Dharma before.

Secondly, he respected the Master of Dharma as he was now cultivating the Dharma Manifestation Skill.

However, the expression of Di Jun in the Spiritual Illusion Realm did not change, and he coldly looked at Tai Hao and asked.

"Tai Hao!"

"Do you truly wish to become a member of the Demon Clan?"

Tai Hao felt relieved upon hearing this question; this was why he initially adjusted his mind.

He was confident, just about to answer when he suddenly thought from deep within.

Do I truly wish to become part of the Demon Clan?

He thought it was merely a simple phrase, yet he found himself unable to speak it aloud.

It was as if in this place, he could not deceive his own heart, no matter how he adjusted his mindset; he couldn't answer.

As he was about to respond, questions arose from deep within.

Do I truly want to become part of the Demon Clan?

No, I say Human Clan, not Demon Clan.

I merely wish to learn the civilization of the Demon Clan, but never considered myself as one of them.

I am Tai Hao of the Human Clan!

At this moment, the depths of Tai Hao's heart were crystal clear.

He realized he could not affirmatively answer Di Jun, and had already failed this examination.

Yet, he did not feel dejected, for this heart-refining experience was already a great gain for Tai Hao.

He bowed once more to the Master of Dharma and said, "I do not wish to become part of the Demon Clan."

As soon as Tai Hao's words fell, Di Jun in the Spiritual Illusion Realm gradually dissipated, and the space began to shatter.

Once more, Tai Hao felt the changes in space, the inversion of Qian Kun, and returned to reality.

Taiyin Star, Di Jun heard Tai Hao's answer, proving that Fu Xi's reincarnation was not entirely fruitless.

"Emperor Xi, I look forward to the day when you achieve the Dao."

Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan looked in the direction of the Human Clan's ancestral land and spoke softly.

In the Human Clan Ancestral Hall, Tai Hao slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

Failed.

As for how he failed, Tai Hao did not have memories from the Spiritual Illusion Realm.

This is why the content of the examination has never been circulated.

Though Tai Hao failed, his heart was devoid of grief, and he felt an unprecedented clarity within.

Being born and raised among the Human Clan, no matter how he adjusted his mindset, he could not accept joining the Demon Clan.
