I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

"Tai... The Sun Emperor?!"

Xiao Mohan was horrified, staring in disbelief at the towering figure imprinted across the heavens and earth. He instantly understood that this world was the site of the Human Emperor's ultimate battle, a battle that would determine the survival of the human race!

The chaotic light rose again and the scene changed.

The sacred Fusang tree that connects the sky and the earth and is flowing with the light of the sun has appeared in front of Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan.

The branches of the sacred tree swayed gently, casting bits of warm golden light, as if silently welcoming their arrival.

The majestic power of the sun flows endlessly, interpreting the mystery of the birth and death of the world.

Beneath the sacred tree, an old man in tattered golden armor stood quietly. The light of the sacred Fusang tree fell upon him, as if washing away the vicissitudes of time. When he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was as deep as the starry sky and as bright as the rising sun.

"did not expect……"

An old and peaceful voice sounded, with a hint of sigh from the passage of time, "This desolate place of the emperor is actually able to welcome two young friends."

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan were in awe and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Senior Sun Emperor."

"No need to be polite."

The Sun Emperor nodded slightly, his gaze first landing on Su Yu'er. He was slightly startled, then revealed a smile of understanding, "It's actually the 'Dao of Heaven' himself... It seems that your Dao has reached perfection."

"Yes."

Su Yu'er responded calmly, her eyes clear and firm, "There are countless great ways, and all things return to one. What I follow is only the way of my heart."

Now, as the Way of Heaven, this Way is the cornerstone of her existence, an unshakable adherence to it.

The Sun Emperor's eyes lit up with approval, and he nodded gently. He turned his gaze to Xiao Mohan, his eyes gleaming with a piercing light, "You have dragon blood... yes, indeed. Furthermore, you seem to have an unbroken karmic connection with this Mountain, River, and State Map."

Xiao Mohan was stunned when he heard this. He indeed had not noticed any connection.

"you……"

The Sun Emperor's gaze swept over the two of them, his tone carrying a hint of insight, "Is this the successor chosen by the Creation Divine Court?"

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan were shocked at the same time, their eyes focused on the Human Emperor like lightning.

"Don't be so surprised."

A deep smile appeared on the old face of the Sun Emperor. "Because the annals of Heavenly Dao are in your possession, it means that the Old Emperor has accomplished his mission and retired."

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan's eyes met, shocked beyond words. They went around in circles, and finally, they returned to the history books of Heaven.

The couple remained silent, which was considered as an admission of agreement.

The Sun Human Emperor raised his eyes, gazing into the endless void. He smiled calmly and said, "I believe the Old Man Emperor has already told you. My friend Tiandao, the fact that you have been recognized by the annals of Tiandao history is sufficient to prove that your bloodline, character, and wisdom all give you the greatest potential to compete for the throne of the Creator God."

He paused, his calm gaze resting on Su Yu'er once again. "Now, all the treasures passed down by the Creator God are in your possession, right?"

Su Yu'er's face showed no trace of ecstasy, and she nodded calmly: "That's right! We have also paid a visit to Senior Old Man Emperor. He has now returned to the God Realm."

The Sun Emperor nodded slightly. "Don't delve into it. Everything is cause and effect. Once you reach the Creation Divine Court and seize the final inheritance, everything will become clear."

"Junior generations understand." Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan suppressed the shock in their hearts and responded respectfully.

"Since you have come here and aroused the resonance of Fusang, this map of mountains, rivers, and the country is your destiny." The Sun Emperor raised his hand and pointed at the phantom of the scroll that seemed to merge into the void.

Su Yu'er recalled the unusual movement before and asked in surprise, "Senior, why does the ancient alchemy scripture I hold resonate with this place?"

"Ancient Alchemy Scripture..."

A flicker of reminiscence flashed across the Sun Emperor's eyes. "That was a gift from an old friend of mine on his deathbed. I'm here to give it to a close friend in the alchemy world. As for how it ended up in your hands, it's all due to karma and fate."

He paused, his voice tinged with a hint of regret for the past, "That old friend, the world calls him the Ancient Alchemy Emperor. He wanted to use the supreme alchemy to open up the Immortal Alchemy Realm and create the Alchemy Clan... This was an act that defied heaven, and ultimately brought about a resounding heavenly punishment, resulting in his death and the annihilation of his own spiritual path.

The Way of Heaven is the foundation of all the heavens and the laws governing the birth and death of the universe. Without it, all worlds will crumble. Therefore, all cultivators adhere to the Way of Heaven. Only that old fellow…” The Sun Human Emperor's tone was complex, a mixture of regret and admiration, “daring to act so defiantly against Heaven.”

"I see!"

Su Yu'er suddenly realized, her doubts about the ancient alchemy scripture finally resolved. This resonance unexpectedly stemmed from the deep connection between the Ancient Alchemy Emperor and the Sun Emperor, as well as the unfulfilled ambition that fell under the might of the Heavenly Dao.

“This picture.”

The Sun Emperor's gaze fell back on the Mountain, River, and State Map, his voice heavy with emotion, "It's not complete. During the dark turmoil that swept across the heavens, this map, in order to protect the lives of those around it, confronted the source of darkness, and its core was damaged, losing part of its 'source of state'."

He raised his hand and gestured, and Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan's gazes were involuntarily drawn to the depths of the scroll.

The central area of ​​the vast world should have been a place where the mountains and rivers were stable and the country was everlastingly prosperous. However, it now presented a heart-wrenching void and distortion, as if a piece of it had been forcibly dug out, leaving only chaotic turbulence raging in it, constantly eroding the surrounding mountains, rivers, and light and shadows.

"Only by recovering the scattered 'Origin of the State' and completing this map can we restore its supreme power to govern the universe and create life."

The Sun Emperor's voice was like a resounding bell, striking the hearts of the two. "This is also the last test I leave here, and it is also... a trust."

Before he finished speaking, he pointed at Xiao Mohan's eyebrows in mid-air.

The void roared, divine light gathered, and golden flames surged.

An ancient scroll, interwoven with great truths and filled with endless vitality and Taoist rhyme, surged like a torrent towards the sea of ​​consciousness between Xiao Mohan's eyebrows.

Five ancient and mysterious characters were revealed.

Map of mountains and rivers and the country!

Rumble!

The scroll is blooming with brilliant rays of light, and the light of chaos is intertwined. In the distance, a real small world of society and society is vaguely visible, where billions of lives thrive and multiply, exuding the ultimate truth of heaven and earth that creates all things.

Xiao Mohan looked at the Mountain and River State Map in his sea of ​​consciousness, his heart surging with excitement, "Is this really the Mountain and River State Map? The inheritance of the Sun Emperor..."

It was not until this moment that he was truly certain that he had obtained the supreme inheritance of the Sun Emperor.

Almost at the same time, the ancient alchemy scripture in Su Yuer's sea of ​​consciousness burst into dazzling divine light, as if echoing with the map of mountains, rivers, and the country. Ancient divine patterns intertwined with the principles of alchemy, surging like a vast torrent, enveloping Su Yuer's soul.

She had long since comprehended the all-encompassing ancient alchemy scriptures. In addition to the ancient fire-controlling techniques, it also recorded the myriad heavens and worlds, billions of living beings, countless natural treasures, the creation of all things, various ancient recipes for elixirs, and methods of alchemy.

Including the insights into the Dao of Alchemy, the understanding of the origins of various laws, and various experiences in alchemy.

Su Yu'er raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled: "Senior, let's go find the lost origin of the country. But..."

She changed the subject and looked at the sacred Fusang tree. "Can I take this sacred Fusang tree with me?"

"Take him away?" The Sun Emperor was stunned!

"Exactly."

Su Yu'er said seriously, "Once we leave the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, this tree won't be able to stay here."

"No!"

The Sun Emperor flatly refused, leaving no room for maneuver. "Although only my remnants remain here, my body is incomplete. Without the Fusang Tree's help, I will be unable to prevent the dark chaos of the future."

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan exchanged a glance, each with a hint of doubt in their eyes. Xiao Mohan asked in surprise, "Senior, do you mean to be trapped in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm forever? How about this: we move this Fusang Sacred Tree into my wife's small world?"

"Move away?!" The Sun Emperor was stunned again.

"Correct!"

Su Yu'er nodded slightly and said sweetly, "This is not where the body of the elder is. I believe your true body is somewhere else."

"Ugh……"

The Sun Emperor sighed heavily, never having imagined that his Fusang sacred tree would fall into a secret place.

He left his body behind as a backup plan for future battles against the Dark Unrest. To fight the Dark Lord, he must draw upon the power of the Sun from the Fusang Sacred Tree.

Thinking of this, his face was filled with helplessness, "My body is indeed not here."

"Where?"

The Sun Emperor said slowly, "It's located at the junction of the Dark Universe and the Sky Universe, above a deadly star field."

Xiao Mohan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay! When my husband and I find the origin of the country, we will help you find the body. After all, when the dark chaos comes in the future, we will need your guidance and assistance."

"really?!"

Two brilliant rays of light suddenly shot out from the Sun Emperor's eyes, and Can Nian trembled slightly with excitement.

Su Yu'er smiled and said, "Once we get out of the secret realm, I will take you with me."

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Sun Emperor spoke three times, his tone unable to conceal his excitement, "Then quickly go and find the source of the state. Once the map of mountains, rivers, and states is complete, I will leave with you!"

At this moment, the lingering thoughts of the Sun Emperor grew somewhat ethereal. He pointed to the edge of the void within the scroll, where a few imperceptible points of light emanated an aura distinct from that of chaos. "The origins of the state possess a spirit. When it crumbles, it will follow the tenuous connections to the remaining 'seeds of civilization' within the myriad realms... These are the 'spheres of light' you see outside the temple, within the remnants of the world protected by the Fusang Sacred Tree."

The entire space, bounded by his remnant and the radiance of the Fusang sacred tree, began to violently ripple, the scene swaying like ripples on water. The figure of the Sun Emperor became even more transparent.

"time is limited."

His voice was filled with a hint of relief. He looked at Su Yu'er deeply, as if he could see through eternity and see the trajectory of fate. "My two friends... I need to enter the Fusang Sacred Tree to nurture my remaining soul. You should quickly go and find the origin of the country... I... will go ahead..."
