This primordial world is not serious!

The Witch Clan's intentions seem to imply, Your Majesty, that the 'Divine Clan' you established is merely a facade filled with confusion and falsehood, manipulating those unaware spirits to resist and doubt the 'Divine Clan.'"

Yu Chen snorts coldly, his sword-like brows raised: "In my opinion, there's no need to waste words with them! Since the Witch Clan dares to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Court, we should directly take up our swords and slaughter all thirteen Ancestor Witches on Buzhou Mountain, and see how arrogant they can still be!"

Only Taishang remains calm and serene, unconcerned, merely saying indifferently: "When one wishes to impose guilt, there is no lack of excuses. The Witch Clan's action is a psychological tactic; if we dance to their rhythm and resort to weapons, we fall into their trap."

"Hehe, what the fellow Daoists say has its reasoning." Taiyi listens to everyone's analysis and smiles ambiguously.

Then, suddenly shifting his tone, he says something that shocks all present divines: "Since the Witch Clan claims that I intend to establish the 'Demon Clan,' the 'Demon Sect,' and to be the 'Demon Emperor'..."

"Then, I... am willing to fulfill their wish, what's the harm?!"

"What?!"

"Your Majesty, you... what did you say?!"

As Taiyi's words spread, the whole Heavenly Emperor Palace seemed to have been hit by a bomb, erupting into chaos!

All deities, including the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, looked at Taiyi with shock, unable to comprehend why he would say such seemingly "self-destructive" words.

But Taiyi, meeting their bewildered and horrified gazes, slowly rises from the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, spreading his arms as if to embrace the entire Universe, wearing a confident, domineering, even slightly "mad" smile!

"Fellow Daoists, do you think, why did I establish the 'Divine Clan'?"

"To unify all beings, gather Qi Fortune? To establish a more efficient governing order? Or to achieve that so-called 'great fusion of ten thousand races'?"

"Yes, but not entirely!" Taiyi's voice grows exceptionally exalted and resonant, filled with an unspeakable influence!

"What I truly desire is to carve a new path in this Primordial Universe, for all those unwilling to be ordinary, unwilling to be bound by bloodline, longing to change their fate through their own efforts—

a path to the Great Dao!"

"Innate divines, born noble, wielding the Great Dao's power, overlook the fluctuations of all beings—this is the destined order, unchangeable and inevitable."

"Yet, Postnatal Spirits, numbering in countless billions, like sands of the Ganges, within them are countless talented, determined, ambitious beings! Are they destined to forever be beneath the Innate divines, never to stand out?!"

"No! I don't believe that!"

"I believe, among the Great Dao's three thousand paths lies infinite vitality! Every being, regardless of their origin, should have a fair chance to change their fate, to pursue higher realms through their own efforts!"

"And this concept of 'divinity,' though noble, ultimately remains too distant, too elusive, even embodying an insurmountable class divide for most Postnatal Spirits!"

"However, 'demon,' differs!" Taiyi's eyes blaze with golden flame, declaring loudly:

"'Demon' is not derogatory! In my eyes, 'demon' symbolizes transformation, vitality, endless possibilities!"

"Flowers, grass, trees can become demons; birds, beasts can become demons; even stubborn stones or refined iron can become demons!"

"Even a breeze or a droplet of morning dew, once it has spawned Spiritual Wisdom, if it has a Dao Heart, it may be called a 'demon'!"

"'Demon' disregards origin, lineage, but values Dao Heart, recognizes opportunity! This is the true meaning of 'equality among all beings'!"

"Therefore, since the Witch Clan places the title of 'Demon Emperor' upon me, I shall gladly accept it!"

"From today forth, I decree to the Three Realms, officially founding—Demon Sect!"

"Within the Primordial Universe, all beings not Innate divine but aspire towards the Great Dao, yearning for evolution, may join my Demon Sect and become citizens of my Demon Clan!"

"I am the first and only—Demon Emperor throughout eternity!!"

"I shall ensure the term 'demon' ceases to be synonymous with inferiority and wickedness but becomes the utmost emblem of 'unceasing resilience, defying fate'!"

"I shall let the countless Postnatal Spirits of the Three Realms and Six Paths know, as long as they are willing to work hard, willing to strive, willing to join my Demon Sect, then even the most insignificant ant shall one day evolve into a Divine Dragon soaring through the Nine Heavens! One day they can stand with those lofty Innate divines, together discussing the Great Dao!"

"This is my Demon Clan!"

"This is my Demon Sect!"

"This is my path!"

Taiyi's words, like rolling heavenly thunder, seemed like the sound of the Great Dao reverberating across the entire Heavenly Emperor Palace, deeply shaking every divine's Dao Heart present!
