Long River Eternity

After Bai Ze finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Donghuang Taiyi did not speak, but just squinted at the silent demons.

After a long while, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter unrestrained and wild, yet carrying a trace of barely perceptible sorrow: "Hahaha, why are you all so nervous? Back then, all the demons were like brothers and sisters. Although I was the leader of the demons, I never treated the other demons as subordinates."

"What, was Di Jun very harsh on you during his time in charge of the demon race? You're too afraid to even speak?"

The once powerful and influential demon generals and commanders now looked like mice before a cat, heads bowed, still saying nothing.

Regardless of the rumors circulating within the demon race at the time, or the conversation between Bai Ze and Donghuang Taiyi just now, it all indicates that Donghuang Taiyi's disappearance was definitely related to Di Jun.

As former subordinates of Di Jun, they had no idea whether they would face the wrath of Donghuang Taiyi or be granted mercy when facing the former emperor of the demon race.

Seeing that no one spoke, Donghuang Taiyi chuckled and continued, "Bai Ze, they didn't expect me to appear. You've always been good at predicting things, you should have foreseen this, right? Why are you looking so hopeless?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze lowered his head even further and said in fear, "This subordinate did not dare to presume to pry into the cause and effect of the Dragon Emperor. However, when investigating the cause and effect of those alien races, I sensed a trace of the Dragon Emperor's aura, which led me to guess that you are their behind-the-scenes leader."

"That old fox, he knew all along that Donghuang Taiyi would appear, yet he didn't let a word out," Kunpeng thought to himself.

"Now that you've guessed it, aren't you afraid I'll come back and settle accounts with you?"

"We were not involved in your feud with Di Jun. Whether in ancient times or now, everything we have done has been for the sake of the entire demon race. I believe the Dragon Emperor will see through everything and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately," Bai Ze said firmly.

Bai Ze continued, "Furthermore, although Di Jiang and Zhong Rong are Di Jun's sons, they also have a certain relationship with you. I think you certainly won't harm them."

“Oh? This Dijiang has a faint aura of chaos within him. I vaguely guess that he may be related to chaos. But what does this other one have to do with me?” Donghuang Taiyi stared at Zhong Rong, puzzled.

Zhong Rong felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed Donghuang Taiyi's gaze, his heart pounding wildly. At the same time, he was surprised to find that he could possibly have any connection with Donghuang Taiyi.

“Zhong Rong, revert to your original form,” Bai Ze said.

Zhong Rong disliked his three-bodied demonic form from a young age. In ancient times, no human or demon had three bodies, which made him feel like an anomaly.

Moreover, apart from his middle body inheriting Di Jun's dragon body, his other two bodies were completely unfamiliar demonic beasts, both terrifying and ferocious in appearance, which even frightened him a little.

So he usually transforms into human form unless absolutely necessary. Just now, as soon as the battle ended, he transformed back into human form and has not revealed his true form.

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Zhong Rong was taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, he transformed into his three original forms.

When Donghuang Taiyi saw Zhong Rong's true form, he was slightly taken aback. The next second, his usually calm face revealed surprise and anger for the first time: "Di Jun is a real bastard!"

In the center of Zhongrong's body was the upper body of a dragon and the lower body of a human, while the left side of the body was a ferocious beast that looked like a black tiger. It was connected to the dragon's body from the waist down, sharing a pair of legs. It had extremely long hair and two thick fangs that grew out of its mouth, making it look exceptionally ferocious.

The strangest thing was his right side. It was more like a huge head than a body. The most striking feature of this head was a gaping maw full of fangs that took up nearly 60% of the head. A pair of copper bell-like eyes took up nearly 40% of the head. At first glance, it looked as if the entire head consisted of only a mouth and a pair of eyes.

Finally, a pair of sheep-like curved horns stand atop its head, and the whole image alone is enough to send chills down your spine.

At this moment, the strange bodies on both sides of Zhong Rong seemed to sense something and, out of Zhong Rong's control, let out a heart-wrenching roar. The roar was filled with complex emotions, as if there was excitement, relief, and grievance.

However, after the roar, the two bodies fell completely silent, without any further reaction.

Upon hearing this roar, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly stood up, his spiritual power transforming into a violent hurricane that swept outwards, forcing the group of powerful demons in front of him to retreat repeatedly.

As if sensing its master's rage, the Eastern Emperor Bell beneath his feet unleashed a deafening roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Are they still conscious?" Donghuang Taiyi asked, slightly agitated.

Upon hearing this roar, Bai Ze was slightly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly: "Their consciousness was erased by Di Jun long ago. This may just be the last bit of obsession hidden in their bodies."

"Back then, Lord Taotie and the other three guardians disappeared one after another. Not long after, I broke through to the Dominator Realm and, with the help of the Law of Cause and Effect, wanted to find out where he was."

Unexpectedly, I discovered that the three lords, Chaos, Taotie, and Taowu, had all been killed by Dijun. Only Lord Qiongqi disappeared when he encountered Dijun, swept away by an unknown force. Even I could not find any trace of his disappearance.

As a being of Yin and Yang nature, Di Jun had always wanted to take his physique a step further and evolve it into a Chaotic Physique, but it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to rely on his own body to evolve his physique.

Therefore, he had always coveted the chaotic power within the Chaos Master, wanting to possess it for himself, but in order to maintain his image of reforming and turning over a new leaf, he never had the opportunity.

So after killing Lord Chaos, he immediately found his wife, Ehuang, hoping to use Lord Chaos's chaotic power to evolve his physique with her help.

Ehuang cultivated the law of fusion, and could combine anything, whether living or dead, into one.

After a series of tests, Emperor Jun finally felt that everything was foolproof, and at this time, Ehuang happened to become pregnant with Zhongrong.

Because the previous test subjects were all other demonic beasts, and the results were very good, the dragon race is a top-level bloodline, and it is unknown whether there will be any changes during the fusion. Therefore, the final test subject was Zhongrong in Ehuang's belly.

Di Jun handed over the corpses of Lord Taotie and Lord Taowu to Ehuang, ostensibly to enhance Zhongrong's potential while he was still a fetus, by using the power of the two ferocious beasts. In reality, he wanted to see if Ehuang's fusion power would still be effective when combining the powerful ferocious beasts' power with the true dragon's bloodline.

Although Ehuang initially disagreed, since no one would want to experiment on their own child, she couldn't resist Dijun's sweet words and gentle persuasion, and finally compromised, merging the power of Taotie and Taowu into Zhongrong's body.

However, unexpectedly, after Zhong Rong was born, although his talent was indeed not low, it was far from being as heaven-defying as expected. He only obtained a small part of the power of the ferocious beast, and his appearance was even more indescribable.

After some time, Ehuang's application of the fusion law became even more masterful, and this time she became pregnant with Dijun's second son, Dijiang.

This time, Di Jun simply separated a portion of the Chaos Power from the corpse of Lord Chaos, intending to merge it into Di Jiang's body.

Having experienced a less-than-successful but still acceptable outcome, Ehuang was no longer too resistant to this fusion, since it did indeed improve the fetus's appearance. Although the fetus's appearance was a bit ugly, it was still acceptable.

After all, demonic beasts come in all shapes and sizes, and since they can all transform into human form later, it doesn't really matter.

Upon hearing this, Dijiang and Zhongrong's eyes gradually dimmed, because of their strange appearances, they had been bullied by Dijun's other children during their childhood.

Seeing Bo Huang, who has achieved great success in cultivation and possesses extraordinary strength, and You Wen, who has been glamorous and beloved since childhood, they will always feel a sense of inferiority in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, they now learn that their birth was merely an experiment by Di Jun, making their already unfortunate childhood memories even more bleak and ridiculous.
