Chapter 406: Di Jun's Chaotic Scene; Houtu Stirring Up Trouble (Part 2)
"In the current Heavenly Court, having a loyal and courageous minister like Ancestor Witch Zhu Rong, who dares to speak truthfully and offer opinions, should be seen as a blessing for the Heavenly Court and a great fortune for the Primordial world!"
"Why should Your Majesty be troubled by this? You should feel comforted instead."
Listening to Xi He's gentle and soothing words, like the spring breeze turning into rain, Di Jun's nameless anger slowly subsided.
He took the Jade Cup, his fingertips brushing against her cool hand, his face displaying a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Xi He knew her words had taken effect, so she pressed on with a smile:
"Your Majesty, just think, when the Holy Heavenly Emperor was on the throne, he was renowned for opening the path of discussion and accepting advice with grace."
"Under his rule, talents flocked in, myriad voices contended, and all the gods could speak freely and offer direct advice, with none ever being punished for speaking too vehemently."
"It was precisely because of this enlightened and inclusive atmosphere that the Heavenly Court could gather wisdom from all corners, continually progress, and eventually usher in an unprecedented golden age."
"Now, since Your Majesty aims to inherit the supreme virtues of the Holy Heavenly Emperor, determined to seek greater welfare and a more splendid future for all beings within heaven and earth."
"Then, you should focus on the grand layout of the Ten Thousand Worlds and absolutely not harbor the slightest murderous intent toward Ancestor Witch Zhu Rong due to these small challenges and verbal conflicts."
Xi He smiled, her eyes flowing: "If he is unwilling to take up the position of Southern Flame Emperor for the Divine Clan, that's no issue."
"We can simply find another more suitable and cooperative candidate."
"In the Primordial world, talented and unique individuals abound. There's bound to be a perfect solution that satisfies all."
"You are right, Xi He!" Di Jun lightly sipped the dew, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
He gently clasped Xi He's soft and boneless delicate hand, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness and gratitude, sincerely praising:
"Ah, whenever my heart is troubled and my path feels uncertain, you, Xi He, are the only one who can truly comfort me!"
Xi He smiled without responding.
Di Jun has endured countless tribulations, having served many times in the main position of the Taiwei Constellation; what storms hasn't he weathered?
Would his heart truly falter so easily because of Zhu Rong's blunt refusal and warning?
Xi He knew everything.
Yet she was still willing to comfort him.
Di Jun gazed at Xi He, his eyes glinting with golden light, as if a Star River were fluctuating within.
He embraced Xi He, the Profound Gold Emperor Robe overlapping with her gilded long dress, casting a hazy glow under the brilliant light of the Divine Palace.
After a long silence, Di Jun spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of obvious hesitation: "Xi He, how about you take on the position of Flame Emperor?"
"Very well!" Xi He lifted her gaze, her eyes smiling like the rising sun, without a trace of hesitation.
Di Jun was taken aback, his fingertips gently caressing her cheek, as if incredulous of her straightforward answer: "Don't you even hesitate for a moment?"
Xi He's lips curled slightly upward, her eyes reflecting his image, speaking softly: "It's my duty to ease my husband's worries,"
Di Jun was deeply touched.
At that moment, a clear and delightful call came from beyond the sky.
"Xi He sister, I've come to see you again~~"
Moonlight streamed through the void, and suddenly, a Goddess appeared.
Di Jun's expression flustered, as he turned to leave.
"Di Jun!"
"Stop right there!"
Seeing him, Chang Xi's gaze sharpened, her smile gradually fading.
"Chang Xi, listen to my explanation!" Di Jun was at a loss.
"Explain it to my Great Cauldron!"
Chang Xi's face turned frosty, letting out a cold snort and raised her hand to seal space-time.
"Come, Cauldron!"
Boom!!!
Endless light began to shine, and boundless Law erupted.
Chang Xi grabbed one foot of the Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron, soared into the air, and chased the fleeing Di Jun, launching a fierce barrage.
"Ah~~"
That day, the Heavenly Emperor bled in Ganyuan.
Before Taiyi had ascended to the position of East Emperor, he already took on the role of acting Heavenly Emperor.
"Ah~~, why does elder brother always end up falling due to various reasons while in office?"
Skillfully taking the reins of the Heavenly Emperor's authority, Taiyi sighed: "I feel that with elder brother's cyclical falls, perhaps one day he'll directly attest to the Dao of Taiyi with the 'Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation Transfer Scripture'."

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, within Pangu Hall.
After Di Jun's departure, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant, even the whistling wind turned oppressive and somber.
The thirteen Pangu Blood Pillars trembled slightly, seemingly resonating with Zhu Rong's tumultuous emotions.
Zhu Rong's red hair on his head moved without wind, as he ignited a message-transmitting true flame at his fingertips:
"Brothers and sisters, we might need to hold a meeting."
The true flame transformed into twelve streams of light, penetrating the Ten Thousand Worlds.
In just moments, the Ancestor Witches, scattered across various terrains, gradually returned.
Some rode thunderclouds, some drove Ruishui River, some floated on gentle breezes, while others strode on black dragons.... They all gathered in Pangu Hall.
"What matter is so urgent?" Houtu gently stroked a small snake in her arms, her brows slightly furrowed.
Zhu Rong said, "The Heavenly Emperor was just here."
Then, he recounted the events in detail for everyone present.
"Absurd!"
Space Ancestor Witch, Emperor Jiang, slammed the table forcefully, declaring, seemingly echoing, "This is chaos, we Witch Clan absolutely refuse to obey such a decree!"
"In my opinion, this so-called 'Divine Clan Plan' is essentially a disruptive policy that is harming the Primordial world!"
"It seeks to blur the boundaries between races, obliterate the inheritance of bloodlines, to achieve centralized rule and the enslavement of all beings! It's certainly not the blessing of the Primordial world!"
Emperor Jiang's words hit the nail on the head, articulating the deepest concerns of most Ancestor Witches present.
