Ye Chuanze was somewhat astonished. How did the Heavenly Dao bestow Merit upon him? After pondering for a moment, he speculated that it was likely because he had approached Hongjun to seek permission and support for the construction of the Heavenly Palace, which led to this portion of Merit being granted to him. However, what he had done was trivial compared to the comprehensive planning by Di Jun and Taiyi. The Heavenly Dao had granted three portions of Merit to Di Jun and Taiyi, which they rightfully deserved. Yet, receiving one portion of Merit made Ye Chuanze feel quite guilty.
Di Jun also showed a hint of surprise when he saw the Heavenly Dao grant one portion of Merit to Ye Chuanze, but he quickly regained his composure. He laughed heartily and said joyfully to everyone, "Heaven bless our demon clan!"
The demon immortals in the great hall all displayed joyful expressions, feeling both happy and proud.
With the completion of the Heavenly Palace and the granting of Merit by the Heavenly Dao, what could better illustrate that the establishment of the Heavenly Palace was in accordance with heavenly will and was legitimate? Those immortals who harbored doubts about the demon clan's establishment of the Heavenly Palace had no choice but to remain silent and acknowledge its existence. Even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they dared not openly defy heavenly will.
Moreover, the six portions of Merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao on the demon clan clearly indicated that they were favored by the heavenly will and their fortune was flourishing. This six portions of Merit greatly boosted the demon clan's fortune, leading to their rapid rise.
In an instant, aside from the demon clan, all other immortals in the hall had their own thoughts.
The Three Pure Ones, who traditionally did not engage deeply with others, had come at Di Jun's invitation to witness the completion ceremony of the Heavenly Palace. They recognized that the demon clan's fortune was thriving and their rise was unstoppable. No matter how high they regarded themselves, they dared not go against heavenly will. At this moment, showing some favor to Di Jun and the demon clan was not only to build a good relationship but also to express their own stance.
The Primordial beings were always in a state of turmoil and uncertainty; thus, positioning became very important at this time. Standing in the right position could lead to successfully navigating tribulations and ensuring one's safety. A misstep could result in tragedy—being manipulated by the Heavenly Dao and drawn into a Chess Game could lead to death and annihilation. The Four Spirit Clan, caught in the conflict between two races during the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, served as a cautionary tale.
The Three Pure Ones observed Di Jun's deep smile and his undisguised pride and joy, sighing inwardly about where their own opportunities lay.
As for Nuwa, she felt happy as well—partly because she was also part of the demon clan and delighted to see its flourishing fortune. Additionally, when Di Jun consulted Fuxi about constructing the Heavenly Palace, he had promised to confer upon Fuxi the title of Great Sage. Now witnessing the completion of the Heavenly Palace and the immense Merit granted by the Heavenly Dao solidified its position as legitimate within Primordial hierarchy; Nuwa naturally felt elated. This meant that even if Fuxi did not attain sainthood, his status would still be significant. As long as the demon clan thrived, Fuxi would enjoy its fortune and hold a respected position.
With Fuxi's situation resolved, the clouds that had long lingered over Nuwa's heart dissipated instantly, further strengthening her resolve to attain sainthood.
Zhun Ti's expression was not pleasant; it could be described as frowning while forcing a smile. With the rise of the demon clan, what would become of them in the West? The West was barren compared to the East's wealth and prosperity; it lacked both exceptional talents and favorable geography. The future truly seemed bleak.
Seizing upon everyone's joy, Di Jun added, " Ye Chuanze has made significant contributions as a major figure in our demon clan’s great realm; without his efforts, this Heavenly Palace would not have been possible."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood immediately. They were still puzzled as to why the merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao was allocated to him. The establishment of the Heavenly Palace was a monumental achievement following the calamity of the Dragon and Phoenix, and its underlying significance was profound and far-reaching. The merit granted by the Heavenly Dao was extraordinary. The sixty percent merit had led to the flourishing of the demon race for millions of years, showcasing its immense power. Everyone felt a mix of envy and jealousy towards Ye Chuanze, as this young man seemed to seize all the good fortune.
Ye Chuanze was also a prominent figure in the Primordial realm, transformed from a Black Lotus born from the Chaos Azure Lotus into a Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus. After undergoing three Transformation Thunder Tribulations, he finally attained his human form. Upon becoming human, he reached the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, with unfathomable strength. Moreover, he was a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor and enjoyed considerable favor from him. His background was impressive, and he had strong support. Although his circumstances before transformation were quite difficult, often suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, he managed to escape being obliterated by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation and thus turned his luck around. However, after transforming, a series of fortunate events fell upon him, as if he had completely turned his back on past tragedies.
This tumultuous and arduous journey truly evoked sighs from the Primordial Immortals; it could be regarded as one of the most inspiring tales of struggle in the Primordial realm. Ye Chuanze's positive energy undoubtedly inspired countless immortals who found themselves in difficult situations.
Even Ye Chuanze himself felt deeply moved by his experiences. He thought he resembled those protagonists in novels and television shows who start off in dire straits but suddenly rise to prominence with continuous opportunities and good fortune—like a salted fish turning over, achieving both fame and wealth. Ye Chuanze pondered that if he could have a beautiful confidante by his side, he would truly be living as a real person.
Ye Chuanze seriously considered his requirements for a confidante. After much thought, he realized that he did not ask for much; as long as he liked her, that would suffice. Appearance was not important, life was secondary, and well... gender was flexible.
While the other immortals in the great hall were lost in their thoughts due to Di Jun's words, Zhen Yuanzi calmly remarked, " Mr. Ye has also experienced a turn of fortune; although he is fated to be without a Saint Position, given the current situation, it seems unlikely that his future will be too far off."
Upon hearing this, the immortals fell silent, their earlier feelings of envy and discontent dissipating. Indeed! This person had lost his Saint Position; he was the only disciple of the Dao Ancestor who could not become a saint. Why should they hold any grievances against someone with such poor fortune?
Zhen Yuanzi's words did not escape Di Jun's notice; he glanced at him before returning his gaze and continued speaking: "Today I shall appoint Ye Chuanze as my Demon God, Fuxi as Demon God, Kunpeng as Demon Master, and Jiemeng, Heroic Move, Feilian, Nine Infants, Merchant Goat, Qin Yuan, Citi, Bai Ze, Ghost Car, and Fei Dan as Ten Saints of the Demon Clan."
Hearing this, everyone sighed inwardly at Di Jun's grand gesture; such lavish appointments were intended to win people's hearts.
Di Jun also appointed ten demon leaders along with various other positions; thus completing half of the ceremony for the establishment of the Heavenly Palace. The remaining time would be spent on feasting and merriment.
"Brother Ye returned to Purple Cloud Palace recently to see our master?" Sky-Connecting asked Ye Chuanze.
"Indeed," Ye Chuanze replied.
"How is our master doing these days?" Sky-Connecting asked again.
"Very well."
Sky-Connecting listened to his response and then asked, "What do you mean by 'good'?"
Ye Chuanze looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Good is just good. Good health, good mood, good body. What more do you want?"
Sky-Connecting felt helpless and directly asked, "Has Master changed compared to before?"
Ye Chuanze finally understood what he meant; he was subtly probing for news about Hongjun after his merging. Remembering how he felt anxious and hesitant to speak when summoned by Hongjun to Purple Cloud Palace, he realized he had been quite startled and began to have a bad idea. Since Sky-Connecting wanted to gather information, he decided not to tell him; he couldn't be the only one scared.
"I don't know. Every time I see Master, I feel reverence and dare not look directly at him, so I haven't paid attention to these things," Ye Chuanze said calmly while lying.
Upon hearing this, Sky-Connecting was immediately speechless; his words were too false! When had he ever seen Ye Chuanze show reverence for Hongjun? Respect maybe, but fear was something he had never seen on his face.
The Three Pure Ones once found the interaction between Ye Chuanze and Hongjun strange; their relationship did not resemble that of a typical master and disciple, which felt quite awkward. It wasn't until much later that they realized the atmosphere between Ye Chuanze and Hongjun was too familiar and casual, lacking the respect and caution typically found in a master-disciple relationship. Even in the best of relationships, disciples usually exhibit an instinctive respect towards their masters, speaking cautiously for fear of saying something wrong that might anger them. However, none of this was present between Ye Chuanze and Hongjun. Their interactions were too familiar; their tone and demeanor were very casual, seemingly unconcerned about upsetting each other.
Rather than seeing Ye Chuanze and Hongjun as a master-disciple pair, it would be more accurate to describe them as close friends—friends who shared their hearts.
Sky-Connecting began to understand that Ye Chuanze was just brushing him off. He immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Brother Ye, what you said is not right. How can you ignore Master like this?"
"...How am I ignoring him?" Ye Chuanze replied with a twitch of his mouth, confused about how Sky-Connecting reached this conclusion.
"Not caring about Master is the same as ignoring him! It's a shame that Master cares for you so much while you are so indifferent," Sky-Connecting said earnestly.
Ye Chuanze realized that Sky-Connecting was being unreasonable and retaliating against his indifference.
"Fine! Brother Sky-Connecting, you win. I'll tell you this: Master is still Master; that has never changed," Ye Chuanze said.
Having received the answer he wanted, Sky-Connecting felt satisfied and cheerfully told Ye Chuanze: "I recently refined a good treasure; take it and play with it! If you like it, keep it for yourself; if not, feel free to do whatever you want." With that, he casually tossed an oddly shaped magical artifact to Ye Chuanze, acting as if he were throwing away a piece of junk rather than something everyone desired—a Acquired Treasure.
The typical appearance of a nouveau riche, Ye Chuanze secretly cursed in his heart. His senior brother was good at everything except for being too casual and arrogant; he was also someone who couldn't tolerate much. He took the magical artifact that Sky-Connecting threw to him and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother." Sky-Connecting was renowned for his artifact forging skills throughout Primordial, and every artifact he crafted was a masterpiece, definitely a good treasure.
"If you really want to thank me, then say some nice words in front of our Master. I have been scolded by him quite a bit," Sky-Connecting said with a frown.
"That's because you act too arrogantly and angered our Master," Ye Chuanze replied, looking at him with an expression of disbelief. Sky-Connecting was carefree and unconcerned about details, even in Purple Cloud Palace. He had once plucked the tail feathers of the crane raised by Hongjun while forging artifacts, which led to Hongjun scolding him harshly. At that time, Ye Chuanze had been standing by, enjoying the spectacle; he loved seeing others in trouble.
Sky-Connecting rubbed his forehead and said, "In a few days, I need to go to Purple Cloud Palace. Do you want to come with me?"
Ye Chuanze pondered for a moment. For Sky-Connecting to visit Purple Cloud Palace under such respectful circumstances towards Hongjun, it must be for an important matter. After thinking it over, he replied, "No thanks. I just left Purple Cloud Palace not long ago; I don't want to disturb Master."
Sky-Connecting shot him a glare and said, "You ungrateful disciple! Our Master cares for you so much and wants you to visit him, yet you keep making excuses. What kind of behavior is that!"
"..." Ye Chuanze.
Looking at Sky-Connecting's righteous face, Ye Chuanze felt an impulse to punch him. This guy just wanted to drag him along to Purple Cloud Palace as an extra person to share the risks.
"That's settled then; tomorrow you will go with us to Purple Cloud Palace," Sky-Connecting declared firmly, giving him no time to object.
"..." Ye Chuanze realized that good things were not easy to come by and that cheap offers were not truly free. He thought about how generous Sky-Connecting was this time in giving him a magical artifact; it seemed he was waiting for him all along!
