Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

"I am Taiyi, the master of the Great Sun, the lord of all things, who determined the cycle of the four seasons and the alternation of day and night in the primordial world. Those who are not convinced may come to the Great Sun to find me for a battle."

Taiyi stood atop the primordial sky, looking down upon all living beings. His domineering words flowed from his mouth in a calm manner, ignoring the many powerful figures of the primordial world.

Golden-white solar flames burned around him, and the sun halo behind him slowly rotated, radiating a temperature high enough to incinerate everything.

Within a radius of millions of miles, even space itself was scorched and distorted.

The overwhelming pressure of a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal was released without reservation, causing countless living beings on the primordial land to tremble.

Those newly emerging innate races all looked up at the sky, their faces filled with horror.

"What is that?"

"What a terrifying aura... even stronger than the Primordial Golden Immortals of the Three Races era! But he doesn't possess any Primordial aura!"

"The Sun Star... an unparalleled being was born from the Sun Star!"

"Hmph! You've got some nerve, young man!"

"Heh... Let's survive one great calamity first!"

Taiyi ignored the discussions of those creatures.

His gaze swept across the vast, untamed land, taking in everything.

The three races have withered, while countless others have risen. The once-mighty Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races can now only eke out a living in a remote corner. Meanwhile, the newly emerging races, such as the Tiger, Wolf, and Peng, are fiercely vying for territory and resources.

The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive.

Taiyi nodded slightly.

This is the primordial world, the world he is about to rule.

The reason he did not directly refer to himself as the Heavenly Emperor was not because he dared not, but because the title of Heavenly Emperor was a respectful one used by the people, not something he used to fantasize about.

Once he has defeated all the enemies of the primordial world, people will naturally honor him as the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if he is not the Heavenly Emperor, he is still the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if he becomes the Heavenly Emperor, if he cannot subdue the primordial world, who would believe that he is truly the Heavenly Emperor?

He looked away and down at his hands.

The power of the Great Luo Realm surged within his body, the Great Dao of the Sun was initially formed, and the Dao Domain of the Sun had been opened.

But he knew that wasn't enough.

Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal, there is the Primordial Golden Immortal, and then there is the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

His journey has only just begun.

"However, there is one more thing to do before continuing my cultivation."

Taiyi's gaze hardened.

He flew back to the Sun Star.

This time, he did not enter the interior of the Sun Star, but hovered outside of it.

Taiyi closed his eyes, and his divine sense spread out, enveloping the entire Sun Star.

He was about to do something crazy—

Refine the Sun Star.

He refined the entire Sun Star into his own Dao Fruit, making himself highly bound to the Sun Star, achieving the state of "as long as the Sun does not perish, Taiyi will not fall".

This idea was born from the story of Styx refining the Blood Sea in the future. He wanted to be like Styx, highly bound to the sun, so that even if he couldn't become a saint, no one in the prehistoric world could kill him.

The Sun Star was formed from Pangu's left eye and is one of the most powerful stars in the primordial world. If one could refine the Sun Star, one would not only gain an inexhaustible source of power but also the ability to be immortal.

As long as the sun star remains, he will not perish.

The fall of the great sun signifies the arrival of immeasurable eons.

This idea would be considered extremely crazy even among Grand Luo Immortals.

Because the Sun is so special.

Its power far surpasses that of any other star, even the Taiyin star, which also originated from Pangu's eyes, is slightly weaker than the Taiyang star.

To refine the Sun Star, one would need at least the cultivation level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, or even higher.

But Taiichi didn't care.

He was born from the Sun Star and shares the same origin as the Sun Star. If there is anyone in the primordial world most likely to refine the Sun Star, it must be him.

It all began.

The sacred flames of the Great Sun surged from his body, transforming into countless golden-white chains of fire that coiled around the surface of the Sun. These chains penetrated deep into the Sun's interior, connecting with its very essence.

Taiyi's divine consciousness extended along the fire chain, attempting to imprint his original mark on every corner of the Sun Star.

This is an incredibly massive project.

How vast is the Sun? Its diameter is measured in trillions of miles, and the Great Japanese Origin contained within it is as boundless as the ocean. To refine the entire Sun would require not only power, but also time.

Taiyi doesn't care about time.

He sat cross-legged outside the Sun Star and began the long refining process.

In the tenth era, Taiyi refined the surface of the Sun Star.

In the fiftieth cycle, he refined the outer flames of the Sun Star.

In the 300th cycle, his divine consciousness penetrated deep into the interior of the Sun Star and began to make contact with the Great Japanese Origin.

Everything is going smooth.

Taiyi's origin was originally one with the Sun Star, and the refining process encountered almost no obstacles.

The Sun Star seemed to be welcoming his return, actively cooperating with his refining process.

But when the 1352nd cycle arrived, a problem arose.

Taiyi's divine sense touched the very core of the Sun Star.

That was the essence of Pangu's left eye, the residual power of Pangu at the time of creation. That power was too strong, so strong that even Taiyi at this moment could not withstand it.

boom--

A terrifying backlash erupted from the core of the sun star, violently repelling Taiyi's divine consciousness.

Taiyi groaned, and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He opened his eyes, a look of horror flashing in his golden pupils.

"Pangu..."

He sensed the master of that power—the Great God Pangu.

Although Pangu has perished, his power still remains at the very core of the sun.

That is the power that created the world, the power that created this world, far beyond what Taiyi can currently grasp.

Taiyi remained silent for a long time before slowly retracting the fire chains.

The attempt to refine the Sun Star failed.

But he was not seriously injured.

Just as he expected, his origin was the same as that of the Sun Star, and the Sun Star's backlash was lenient towards him, merely deflecting him without truly harming him.

"My cultivation level is not high enough." Taiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and muttered, "At least a Primordial Golden Immortal is required to be qualified to touch the residual power of Pangu."

He did not lose heart.

The path of cultivation is inherently full of hardships, and one failure is nothing.

Taiyi stood up and took one last look at the Sun Star.

"I will refine it again when I reach the Primordial Chaos stage."

He turned and left the great sun, flying towards the primordial starry sky.

Taiyi did not go to the primordial land, but flew into the depths of the starry sky.

The primordial starry sky is the place where countless stars, transformed from Pangu's hair, converge.

Here, countless stars, some large, some small, some strong, some weak, together form the primordial sky.

Taiyi flew through the starry sky, his gaze sweeping over one star after another.

He was searching for a special star.

Ziwei Star.

In the ancient records that Taiyi saw in his previous life, Ziwei Star was the Emperor Star, the head of all stars, and the master of all stars.

Apart from the sun and moon that Pangu's left and right eyes transformed into, Ziwei Star is the most noble existence in the starry sky.

Strictly speaking, the Sun and the Moon are not stars; they were transformed from the eyes of Pangu, holding an extremely special position and involving the origin of heaven and earth.

Among the real stars, Ziwei Star is the absolute king.

All the stars revolve around it, and all the stars gather around the Purple Palace.

This is the status of the Ziwei star.
