DREAM BACK IN CHAOS (Pillow Book Extra)

Chapter -8

Three years ago, after the Demon Clan's ancestor goddess,Goddess Shaowan, faded, the Demon
Clan split into seven. The seven Demon Lords under Shaowan each led a branch of clansmen,entrenching themselves in a region of the Southern Realm, each governing things in his own way. Henceforth, the Demon Clan entered an era lasting 260,000 years where the seven lords coexisted side by side. Without Shaowan to restrain them, the seven lords of the Demon Clan were somewhat aimless. When Fu Ying rose in rebellion and Heaven and Earth fell into chaos again, they also wanted to put their foot in to stir up the water, but at that time, the seven lords were still internally fighting for territory and drawing boundaries. Even if they wanted to, they didn't have the strength. For this reason, they let it go. It was only near the end of the rebellion when the seven Demon Lords had finally nearly finished dealing with their internal affairs.

Just as they were planning to nullify the Zhangwei Accord and join the war in their eagerness to fight, who would have thought that Dijun would conduct battles with such incredible speed? The war on the Jieshui riverbank was already declared over. Furthermore, when they were settling accounts after the war, Dijun even taught them a lesson that left quite a deep impression: each and every one of rebel High God Fu Ying's supporters was slaughtered without a single one being spared; of the Ghost Clan and Monster Clan, the aristocratic families who participated in and supported the rebellion were all taken care of one by one. In merely seven days, the fresh blood of the rebels and dissidents dyed the entire Western Realm.

This uncompromising method worthy of being called cruel frightened and deterred the Demon Clan. The seven lords ready to cause trouble had no choice but to take back their troublemaking notions. Not one dared to act recklessly again. Allegedly, the Zhangwei Accord had originally
already been torn to shreds by the impetuous Blue Demon Lord. After having his horizons broadened by Dijun's ruthless methods, the Blue Demon Lord quietly and very carefully glued the Zhangwei Accord that had been torn to shreds back together, page by page, and then respectfully put it back...
In any case, the Eight Realms finally returned to the peace and tranquility of three years prior, at the very beginning of Moyuan's title-conferral: the God Clan united, the world pledging their allegiance.

However, no one had expected that although the Demon Clan, Ghost Clan, and Monster Clan had been stopped, more troublemakers would arise from within the God Clan.
The month after the battle of Jieshui, a Shenjun submitted to the Council of Elders an impeachment document for the impeachment of the God King.

The impeachment document was eloquent. Although it affirmed Dijun's merit in quelling Fu Ying, it denounced his method as excessively vicious. The report said that Fu Ying rebelled, and his crime merited execution, but the Ghost Lord and Monster Lord had been poisoned and bewitched by Fu Ying. Although they had once aided the wicked, they had also sincerely repented and handed in letters of surrender. And yet, Dijun was without a trace of mercy, still executing the two lords. It was excessively cruel. In the Western Realm and Northern Realm lay the corpses of millions and pools of blood. In the seas of blood and mountains of corpses was revealed Dijun's inhumane heart. If one were a God King, how could one be so inhumane? Because of this, he hoped that Dijun would abdicate the position of the God King of his own accord, allowing the God Clan to choose a benevolent King who would serve the world.

The Council of Elders handled this impeachment in a private hearing. With a vote of seventeen to
three, they agreed to impeach Dijun.

The lower-level gods were ignorant, but the high-ranking gods could all see what was going on. It was nothing more than a play put on and acted out by High God Hou Zhen and the Council of Elders themselves: the crisis of Fu Ying's rebellion had already been taken care of, and the elders
did not need Dijun anymore. They were anxious to take back power. With Dijun's powerful position and his prestige in the Eight Realms, if Dijun were still honored as King, one could well imagine that in matters of the God Clan in the future, there would never again be space for the Council of Elders to speak. All this talk of impeaching Dijun, it was because Dijun was inhumane, so they enthroned another benevolent King, to serve the world. These were all nothing but excuses.
