After Taiyi's earth-shattering "Demon Emperor Proclamation" echoed in the Heavenly Emperor Palace and subsequently established the basic framework of the "Demon Sect" with Nuwa as the Holy Mother and The Three Pure Ones as the Daoist Ancestors, a silent war over the legitimacy of the names "God" and "Demon" quietly commenced across the entire Primordial Universe.

This contest, concerning both ideology and the future dominion of the Primordial Universe, reached a level of intensity that even surpassed any past real and fierce calamities. It resembled more a "Grand Dao Chess Match" that swept through all sacred beings and influenced countless doctrines.

In this grand and enormous chess match, the chessboard was the entire Primordial Universe; the players were Heavenly Emperor Taiyi representing the emerging force of the "God (Demon) Clan," and the "traditional guardians" alliance led by the Witch Clan, which united many wary innate sacred beings.

As for the various sacred beings, independent practitioners, and leaders of ancient doctrines scattered across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, they all became the "observers" of this game and... the "pieces" that might enter the field at any moment.

Unlike common gamblers who would place their Spiritual Treasures and Merit on a specific bet, they wagered in a deeper and more influential manner. They chose to take sides, placing their "pieces."

For a time, the undercurrents of the entire Primordial Universe surged more violently than ever before.

Those innate sacred beings who were on good terms with the Witch Clan or were skeptical of Taiyi's move to "unify the Ten Thousand Races" began, within their respective Dao Fields and spheres of influence, to covertly or overtly disseminate stories and "historical records" created by the Witch Clan regarding the "Demon Emperor sowing chaos in the Primordial."

Although they did not openly challenge the Heavenly Court, they subtly implanted the negative concept of "Demon" into the hearts of their disciples and affiliated races under the guise of "drawing a lesson" or "exploring ancient history." This was their "piece" placed on the side of the "Witch Clan."

In contrast, some far-sighted, astute divine beings who were moved by Taiyi's grand ideal of "equality of all beings, all may become demons" began to express their "investment" intention in another way.

Some divine beings proactively dispatched their most exceptional disciples to the "preaching points" established by the Demon Sect for "friendly exchanges," under the guise of "exchanging Daoist Techniques." In fact, this was a gesture of goodwill towards the Heavenly Court, signaling cooperation.

Some doctrines quietly integrated positive concepts of "transformation," "evolution," and "defying destiny" into their scriptures and teachings to resonate with the Demon Sect's doctrines.

Moreover, some powerful independent practitioners, although still maintaining neutrality, occasionally posted "rational" and "objective" comments on the Star Network. These comments, seemingly unbiased, subtly defended the legitimacy of the "Demon Sect" between the lines.

Because of this silent "taking sides" and "placing pieces," the entire Primordial Universe was split into two massive, invisible camps that conducted a fierce contest regarding the direction of hearts and the Great Dao.

In this subtle atmosphere of national "watching the game" and "placing bets," Demon Master Roc, bearing the arduous mission of legitimizing the "Demon Emperor" and paving the way for the "Demon Sect," was undoubtedly the core figure under the greatest pressure and the busiest.

Watching the open and covert public opinion battles on the Star Network, his mind was as clear as a mirror.

He knew that to win the ultimate victory in this "Grand Dao Chess Match," mere support from the common people was far from enough; securing the support of a sufficient number of weighty "players" and "pieces" was essential.

So, over the course of the next several thousand years, Roc almost exhausted all his lifetime wisdom and strategies to conduct a series of textbook-level, highly effective public opinion guidance and image rebuilding efforts.

On one hand, he continued to vindicate the true meaning of "Demon" in "Grand Dao Open Classes," portraying the "Demon Sect" as the "Alliance of Hope" for all postnatal spirits to win the people's hearts and consolidate the base.

On the other hand, he transformed into countless "aliases" such as "Wisdom," "Predecessor," "Passerby," etc., personally entering the field and engaging in this "Grand Dao Debate" that spanned the entire Primordial!

Sometimes he quoted scriptures and analyzed the situation, cleverly refuting slanders against the "Demon Sect," providing those undecided centrists with theoretical grounds to "support the Demon Sect"; other times he transformed into a "mysterious insider," revealing "inside information" regarding "certain great powers actually appreciating the ideas of the Demon Sect" on some high-end Dao discussion forums, thereby shaking the opponent's camp.

Thanks to Roc's series of effective efforts, the widespread hostility and rejection towards the "Demon Clan," initially stirred up by the Witch Clan, were effectively dissipated and reversed to a large extent.

The chorus of support for the "Demon Sect" grew increasingly louder among the wide postnatal spirits.

However, everything has two sides.

This series of Roc's promotions, while successfully garnering the people's support among wide postnatal spirits, also further touched the core interests and sensitive nerves of another group...
