Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

Taiyi walks in the Sun Star.

This was the first time he had truly observed the place of his birth.

Inside the Sun Star is a golden-white sea of ​​fire.

The sun's true fire gathers here into a vast ocean, and every wave contains the power to scorch the heavens and boil the sea.

If an ordinary Golden Immortal were to step into this place, he would be burned to ashes in no time.

But Taiyi felt right at home among them.

The true fire of the sun did not harm him; instead, it wrapped around him affectionately, as if welcoming its master.

Taiyi arrived at the deepest part of the Sun Star.

This is the origin of the sun.

A huge golden-white sphere of light floated in the void, slowly rotating.

That is the core of the Sun Star, the most essential part of Pangu's left eye, and the origin of Taiyi.

Taiyi gazed at the origin of the sun, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"My path is the path of the sun."

He reached out and gently touched the source of the sun.

A warm and powerful force surged into his body, resonating with the solar essence within him.

"The sun is extremely strong and intense, extremely yang and pure. My way does not need to pursue balance or inclusiveness like others. My way is the ultimate dominance, the ultimate power."

Taiyi withdrew his hand and turned to walk to another place.

He sensed three familiar presences.

That was the aura of a precious innate treasure.

Taiyi arrived at a sea of ​​fire in the eastern part of the Sun Star.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire, a large, ancient bell floats.

The bell is a chaotic color, and it is engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and all living beings.

Mysterious Dao patterns flowed across the bell, emanating a terrifying aura that suppressed all heavens.

Chaos Bell.

Taiichi took a deep breath.

He certainly knew the origin of this treasure—one of the three great treasures of creation, alongside the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, primarily for defense and suppression, possessing the supreme power to suppress the primordial world.

Taiyi reached out and grasped the Chaos Bell.

boom--

The Chaos Bell trembled violently, unleashing a terrifying force of resistance that attempted to shake Taiyi away. The Dao patterns on the bell flickered wildly, and chaotic energy emanated from it, forcing back the surrounding solar true fire.

Taiyi's golden eyes narrowed slightly.

"You disagree?"

He snorted coldly, fully activating the solar essence within his body, unleashing his complete cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The Great Sun Holy Flame surged from his palm, enveloping the Chaos Bell.

"I am the Lord of the Sun, and everything born from the Sun is mine!"

An incomparably domineering voice echoed through the Sun Star.

The Chaos Bell trembled for a moment, then gradually quieted down.

The Dao patterns on the bell stopped flashing and instead resonated with Taiyi's true solar fire.

The Chaos Bell recognizes its master.

Taiyi felt the connection between the Chaos Bell and his soul, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He struck the Chaos Bell with his palm, and the bell rang melodiously. A visible sound wave spread out, freezing space and stopping time wherever it passed.

"My darling."

Taiyi absorbed the Chaos Bell into his sea of ​​consciousness and continued on his journey.

Before long, he found two more treasures that accompanied him – the Hetu and the Luoshu.

The Hetu and Luoshu are innate spiritual treasures, supreme artifacts for deducing heavenly secrets and setting up formations to trap enemies. The two treasures, one yin and one yang, complement each other, and their combined power is even greater.

Taiyi also refined it using domineering methods.

With the acquisition of the three supreme treasures, Taiyi's strength surged. He sat cross-legged deep within the Sun Star, nurturing the three treasures with the True Fire of the Sun, while simultaneously stabilizing his own realm.

This sitting has lasted for thousands of years.

When Taiyi opened his eyes again, his aura was even more solid than before.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is completely stable, and only one opportunity is needed to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

"One thing is still missing."

Taiyi stood up and looked deeper into the Sun Star.

He sensed a powerful life force.

That is one of the ten innate spiritual roots—the Fusang tree.

Taiyi followed the aura and found the legendary divine tree at the very core of the Sun Star.

The Fusang tree is over ten thousand feet tall, with a reddish-gold trunk that is burning with the true fire of the sun.

Its branches and leaves are lush, and each leaf is like a small sun, radiating a warm light.

The tree trunk is engraved with innate Dao patterns, which are the manifestation of the laws of the sun.

In the center of the hibiscus tree's crown, there is a depression, as if something once lived there.

Taiyi stared at the dent, lost in thought.

That must have been the place that Di Jun originally intended to live in.

"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance."

Taiyi walked to the Fusang tree and placed his hand on the trunk. The True Fire of the Sun surged from his palm, resonating with the essence of the Fusang tree.

The hibiscus tree swayed gently, as if welcoming its owner.

Taiyi did not refine the Fusang Tree, but instead imprinted his own original mark on it.

From then on, the hibiscus tree became his sacred ground and his foundation.

He leaped onto the crown of the hibiscus tree and sat cross-legged.

Golden-white holy flames surged from his body, merging with the flames of the Fusang tree.

Taiyi's aura continued to rise, showing faint signs of a breakthrough.

But he managed to suppress it.

"No rush, the foundation must be solid."

Taiyi closed his eyes and began to deduce his own Dao.

Time has no meaning in the Sun.

Taiyi didn't know how long he had been sitting on the Fusang tree. Perhaps it was ten thousand years, perhaps a hundred thousand years, perhaps a million years.

His consciousness wandered along the Sun Avenue, contemplating the sun's birth, burning, shining, and eternity.

The sun is extremely strong and intense.

The sun, impartial and unbiased.

The sun shines on all things without asking for anything in return.

The sun never dies.

Taiyi's state of mind continued to elevate through his insights. He finally understood his own path—

"Mainly cultivate the Sun Path."

"In this life, I will not be a demon emperor, but only a heavenly emperor."

"The sun's radiance shall shine upon the nine heavens and ten earths, upon all the myriad realms. All the myriad races of the primordial world shall bathe in its light."

"All lands illuminated by the sun are my land! All living beings under the sun are my subjects!"

Taiyi opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his golden pupils.

His aura underwent a qualitative change at that moment.

Taiyi has broken through.

During his long period of contemplation, he did not break through to a new level; his path ahead was cut off, and there was nowhere left to go.

But this does not mean that he can only stagnate. He opened up his own Dao Domain - the Sun Dao Domain.

Although he is still a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his combat power is far beyond that of an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Because his origin was too pure, because he possessed three innate treasures, and even more so because he opened up a new realm and entered a new realm.

Tao domain.

By transforming one's own Great Dao into a domain, one can restrict the opponent's actions when the opponent is enveloped by the domain, regardless of who they are fighting.

The Sun Domain is extremely yang and powerful. As the incarnation of the Great Sun, it wields the power of the sun and can infuse itself with the power of the Great Sun at any time to suppress enemies.

Taiyi stood up and looked out at the Sun Star.

His gaze pierced through the endless void and fell upon the primordial land.

The conflict between the Dao and the Demonic Path had ended, and Hongjun had gone into seclusion.

The three races withered and disappeared, while all other races multiplied and thrived.

The primordial world entered an era of fierce competition among myriad races and the rise of numerous heroes.

"It's time."

Taiyi took a deep breath and leaped into the air.

His figure transformed into a golden-white streak of light, bursting forth from the Sun Star.

At this moment, countless creatures on the primordial land looked up and saw a golden meteor flying out from the sun star in the sky, trailing a long tail of flame as it streaked across the heavens.

The light was so intense, so domineering, as if proclaiming to the entire primordial world—

The Lord of the Sun has been born.
