Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the tower did not hesitate any longer and bowed deeply:

"Your Majesty's consideration is thorough, and your kindness is akin to giving me a second life. This old man is willing to take the stone tower back to the Divine Sect, to guard the lineage, and to await the day when Your Majesty uncovers the truth and settles the score!"

"Back then, the Holy Emperor placed me in the North Sea to prevent any dark turmoil from affecting Ziwei after his death. I could use this location and the power of the Fusang Divine Tree to provide some resistance and protect the living beings in this area."

Now that the Great Emperor has attained enlightenment and his power overwhelms all the heavens, forcing the forbidden zones to lie dormant, my backup plan is useless. Therefore, I will follow the Great Emperor's wishes, return to the Sun Dao lineage, and guard the Holy Emperor's bloodline.

Jiang Hao nodded: "With Fellow Daoist's return, the Sun God Sect can be at peace, and the Holy Emperor's legacy can continue. Not bad."

Upon hearing this, the stone tower deity said no more, and its illusory image disappeared into the tower.

The next moment, the entire Sun Stone Tower erupted with immense power and golden light soared into the sky, like a small sun rising from Tang Valley, flying straight towards the ancestral land of the Sun God Cult.

As the stone tower flew away, it deliberately triggered the Great Dao imprint left by the Sun Saint Emperor in Tang Valley.

In an instant, the primal and masculine Sun Avenue swept out, as if a deceased emperor had briefly reappeared.

The radiant holy power illuminated the North Sea and penetrated the star field, allowing this pure imperial aura to be sensed in many parts of the universe.

Throughout the myriad realms, countless cultivators sensed this and all looked towards the direction of Ziwei.

Those with profound cultivation seemed to see a phantom dressed in a blue robe, with a majestic figure yet carrying a hint of loneliness and desolation, flashing across the starry sky.

The phantom's gaze seemed to be looking down upon the human world, but in the end it turned into a long, regretful sigh and vanished with the wind.

In various star regions of the human race, many old cultivators felt a pang of sadness and their eyes welled up with tears.

An old leader of an ancient human religion gazed at the starry sky and murmured:

"The Sun Emperor... is the manifestation of the Great Dao of the Emperor. Back then, the Emperor shone brightly on the human race, as radiant as the sun. How magnificent he was! But even the mighty Emperor could not withstand the passage of time and eventually came to an end."

Another Great Sage from an ancient family sighed: "Even emperors will fall, and the Great Dao will eventually come to an end. Only the inheritance will never perish, and the spirit will continue forever. After the Holy Emperor, our human race has the Chaos Emperor who supports the heavens. How fortunate we are."

In the celestial realm, several ancient thoughts, awakened by the disturbance, exchanged ideas.

"The Way of the Sun Emperor... It seems his imperial weapon has returned."

"The Chaos Emperor is indeed mindful of old friendships, willing to return the imperial artifacts to his descendants. This act not only reassures the people but also demonstrates his magnanimity."

"Although we in the Heavenly Realm have a grudge against him, we must admit that he handled this matter admirably."

Deep within the demon realm, a powerful being whispered:

"The Sun Stone Tower has returned... The Sun God Cult will regain its ultimate foundation. The Chaos Emperor's move is not only to solidify the foundation of the human race, but also to proclaim to the heavens that all those who have inherited the legacy of the human race's ancestors are protected by it. From now on, we must be extremely cautious when dealing with those lineages that possess the bloodline of the Human Emperor."

An old dragon emperor in the Dragon Realm commented: "By combining kindness and severity, and employing both appeasement and iron fist, this new human emperor is not only invincible in battle but also quite methodical in his actions. Issue the order that in future dealings with the Sun God Cult and the Moon God Cult, they must be even more courteous and respectful."

The forbidden zones of life were also awakened by this solar energy.

A cold, divine thought rippled within the Abyss of Burial Gods: "The Dao of the Sun... Is he still alive?"

Immediately another divine thought refuted this:

"No, it's just that the remnants of the Great Dao were activated and manifested by his imperial artifact. The sun has long since passed away, but his stone tower has only now returned to the lineage."

"What a pity, he was a remarkable person back then."

"Even if you don't cut yourself off, the curtain will eventually fall. No matter how glorious your imperial path is or how invincible your Heavenly Venerable is, you cannot escape the erosion of time."

"Neither they nor we are wrong; we simply made different choices. The only viable way for us to seek immortality in this broken world is to sever our own ties, lie dormant for eternity, and wait for the path to immortality to open."

"Time has buried too much, only the forbidden zone remains forever. When the path to immortality opens, everything will be revealed."

Similar sentiments were expressed at places like Reincarnation Lake and Chaos Ancient Cave.

These former emperors and celestial beings had mixed feelings about the fate of the Sun Emperor, including a sense of shared sorrow and uncertainty about their own path.

"The stone tower, it's the Sun Stone Tower, it's flown out!"

"Judging by the direction... it's the Sun God Cult!"

"Heavens! The Chaos Emperor has returned the Sun Saint Emperor's imperial artifact to the Sun God Cult!"

On Ziwei Star, countless cultivators were shocked and in uproar, and then erupted into earth-shattering cheers and exclamations!

From the direction of the Sun God Cult, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, and the shouts of countless believers, filled with joy and tears, converged into a torrent that echoed between heaven and earth!

The sect leader, along with all the elders and disciples, knelt before the figure in black robes in the direction of Tang Valley, performing the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

At this moment, all the forces on the ancient star of Ziwei understood. The Chaos Emperor Jiang Hao was not only invincible in his time, but also cherished old friendships, respected the sages, and protected the lineage.

He returned the legacy of the Sun Emperor to his descendants, and this magnanimity and action won the heartfelt admiration of countless people.

Not long after, the Sun God Cult officially announced to all realms that the Sun Holy Emperor's natal artifact, the Sun Stone Tower, had returned to the lineage today!

The entire Divine Cult bows in gratitude to the Great Emperor of Chaos for his benevolence!

The announcement caused a stir in Ziwei and drew the attention of all the heavens.

The aura of an extreme sect is truly beginning to revive.

After Tanggu calmed down, Jiang Hao did not leave immediately.

He turned around and looked at the Fusang Immortal Herb that had accompanied the Sun Emperor throughout his life and was now swaying gently in the breeze.

It was radiating the warm essence of the sun, showing a natural affinity towards Jiang Hao.

"The elixir of immortality..."

Jiang Hao felt this favor and pondered in his heart.

As far as he knew, the origins of the immortal elixirs in this world were mysterious. There were ancient rumors that they might have been transformed from the fallen immortals of the Immortal Ancient Era.

It may be a supreme elixir that fell from the celestial realm and degenerated, containing a trace of immortal essence and incomplete immortal laws.

Whether the legend is true or false, the elixir of immortality must be extraordinary, because it is so mysterious and has such powerful effects.

Almost every enlightened being studies this and gains something from it, but none of them can fully understand it.

It's clear that these elixirs of immortality must have an extraordinary origin.

This wasn't his first encounter with the elixir of immortality.

Back when he was striving to become a Great Sage and exploring the starry sky, he accidentally stumbled into a forbidden land that even Quasi-Emperors had to treat with caution. At the core of the forbidden land, he found a humanoid immortal elixir by chance.

The divine medicine was shaped like a seated infant meditating on the Dao, no more than a foot tall, its entire body as clear as jade, and shrouded in a hazy, precious light.

Its medicinal fragrance is not strong, but it can instantly clear the mind, as if touching the edge of the Great Dao, helping people to fall into a deep state of enlightenment.

Legend has it that this elixir of immortality was once possessed by a brilliant Daoist master from the mythical era, after which it disappeared into the mists of history along with the Daoist master, until it was obtained by Jiang Hao.

After obtaining it, Jiang Hao devoted himself to in-depth research and discovered that its life essence was indeed far beyond that of ordinary spiritual roots.

The fragments of the Great Dao contained within were incredibly profound, providing much inspiration and assistance to his then-exploring and perfecting path of the Chaos Dao.
