People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 434 Sun Star Lord, Newborn Authority!
"It's done?! My little brother actually succeeded!"

Zhao Gongming stared in surprise at the figure composed of black mist above Yang Xuan's head, then excitedly brandished his golden whip.

It's as if he himself was the one who cut off the evil corpse and became a quasi-saint.

"This is our little brother, so it was expected."

Bixiao held the Golden Dragon Scissors in one hand and placed the other on her hip, speaking casually, yet her smile was even brighter than Zhao Gongming's.

In the gaze directed at Yang Xuan, besides undisguised admiration, there was also a special expression.

Seeing this, the Golden Spirit Mother, who was not far away, took out a pill, put it in her mouth, and showed a gratified smile.

"It seems this girl is finally getting to the point. But then again, if someone were to defy a saint for my sake, they would also have to get to the point."

While taking drugs, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was indulging in self-pity.

On the other side, Yunxiao frowned slightly after observing for a moment.

"It's not finished yet, there's still one last step. What I've just cut out so far is the evil corpse; strictly speaking, it's just the evil thought I've cut out."

To transform evil thoughts into evil corpses, one must entrust those evil thoughts to a spiritual treasure; only then can one become an evil corpse and achieve quasi-sainthood…

At this point, Yunxiao seemed to remember something and shook his head with a smile.

"On the other hand, with my wealth, it seems I don't need to worry about the innate spiritual objects that can house evil corpses."

As far as he knew, Yang Xuan possessed quite a few innate spiritual treasures; she knew of several top-grade innate spiritual treasures alone.
The Mysterious Spirit Gourd, the Golden Bell, the Book of Life and Death, the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, and the Treasure-Falling Coin—these are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures!
Even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal under the tutelage of a sage, possessing a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is already considered a great fortune.

Yang Xuan already possesses several top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and given his personality, these are probably not all of them.

Moreover, whether it's the Book of Life and Death, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, or the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, they are all top-tier innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's something you can only encounter by chance!

With such wealth, he truly deserves the title of "God of Wealth".

"No, it seems he now possesses three more famous ancient treasures..."

Yunxiao glanced at the three jade carvings resembling hammers or monk's staffs on the Causality Balance Instrument, his eyes twitched, and he was speechless.

She wasn't worried at all that Yang Xuan wouldn't find a spiritual object to enshrine the evil corpse; what she was curious about was which top-grade innate spiritual treasure Yang Xuan would use to enshrine the evil corpse.

In her opinion, the Book of Life and Death should be the first choice.

First of all, the Book of Life and Death is the most top-grade innate spiritual treasure in the primordial world, with a full forty-eight innate restrictions.

Looking across the vast primordial world, the only spiritual treasures that can be said to absolutely suppress the Book of Life and Death are those three innate supreme treasures.

Secondly, Yang Xuan is the current Western Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, the Fengdu Emperor designated by Houtu. After he becomes a Quasi-Saint, he will naturally take this position and become the Lord of the Underworld.

By entrusting the evil corpse to the Book of Life and Death, Yang Xuan's influence within the Underworld will be further enhanced.

Perhaps this evil corpse possesses strength in the underworld that is no less than that of the original body.

In fact, Yang Xuan had thought so too, but the Book of Life and Death was a treasure of the underworld.
As a result of a series of unexpected events, the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, two treasures of the underworld, merged with his natal spiritual treasure—the Book of Fate—and became Yang Xuan's private property.

Over the years, thanks to the convenience of the underworld, Yang Xuan's destiny ledger has acquired forty-eight innate and acquired restrictions.
Furthermore, with the blessing of immeasurable merit, it became a top-grade innate and acquired spiritual treasure.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Yang Xuan had not yet become a Quasi-Saint, as long as he was in the Underworld and held the Book of Fate, he could make a Quasi-Saint recreate the concept of life and death!
Having received so many benefits from the underworld for free, Yang Xuan was somewhat reluctant to admit it.

Of course, for the sake of his own path, if he could improve his strength, he would definitely not hesitate to use the Book of Life and Death to entrust his evil corpse and become a quasi-saint.

The problem is, he can't do it!
The Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen are now integrated with the Book of Fate, belonging to Yang Xuan's natal spiritual treasures. They can't be used to dismember corpses...

Or rather, without such a precedent, Yang Xuan could not deduce whether it was possible to do so.

Slaying a corpse is crucial to one's own path to enlightenment and cannot be taken lightly. One only has one chance to rely on an evil corpse. If one fails, not only will one suffer severe injuries, but one will also be unable to continue slaying corpses in the future.

Yang Xuan was always prudent in his actions. Even when cultivating the Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique, he made his decisions only after careful consideration and thorough planning.
He naturally couldn't do something he wasn't sure of, so he gave up the idea of ​​entrusting the evil corpse with the Book of Fate.

As for what to use to house the evil corpse, he had already made a decision.

The reason he personally killed Lu Ya was that the Immortal-Slaying Gourd was just an unexpected gain; his real purpose was to slay the corpse today.

"Come!"

As Yang Xuan's thoughts turned, a beam of light fell from the Sun Star, passed through the Myriad Immortals Formation, and landed on the figure composed of black mist.

Guided by this celestial light, the figure rapidly ascended and arrived on the Sun Star in the blink of an eye. As the Lord of the Sun Star, he entered the origin of the Sun Star and resided there.

Om-!
next moment.

A mysterious wave emanated from the Sun Star and swept across the entire prehistoric world in an instant.

Such fluctuations are extremely rare. Even during the time when Hongjun was preaching in Zixiao Palace, such fluctuations were not common. They would only occur once every ten or so eons.

In less than ten cycles, it has already happened four times, and this is the fifth time.

The previous four times, he severed his good corpse in December and became a quasi-saint.
Haotian and Jinmu severed another corpse, thus becoming quasi-saints with two corpses.

Styx severed his own corpse and became the first Quasi-Saint with three corpses in the primordial world.

The fact that this fluctuation has reappeared means that yet another person has successfully severed the corpse!
Because the two Western Saints disrupted the celestial secrets within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation when they were preparing to compromise with Yang Xuan, the powerful beings outside the formation did not witness Yang Xuan's dismemberment of his corpse.
Therefore, upon sensing this fluctuation, all the beings of the primordial world looked up at the sky, gazing in the direction of its source. Soon, they found the origin of this fluctuation.

"The Sun Star?!"

All living beings in the primordial world showed surprise. Even the immortals of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect who were inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, watching Yang Xuan sever his corpse, were also astonished.

However, the beings outside the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, looking at the Sun Star, believed that Lu Ya was using the Sun Star as a vessel to sever his corpse and achieve Quasi-Sainthood.

Since December, when he entrusted the good corpse to the Sun Star and achieved quasi-sainthood, opening up a completely new way of thinking for all living beings in the primordial world...

Many beings came to the ancient starry sky, wanting to become the master of a star, so that they could guide the future process of slaying corpses.

As the star corresponding to the Moon, the Sun naturally became the primary target of many powerful beings.

With the help of the demon race, Lu Ya received support from four quasi-saints: Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Guiche, and December, who all expressed their support for Lu Ya to become the Lord of the Sun Star.

If it weren't for the ten suns illuminating the sky, which damaged the sun's influence in the primordial world, and the fact that the beings of the primordial world held the sun in more fear than respect,
Furthermore, during the Lich War, the demon race deployed the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, which damaged the essence of the sun star.

As a result, Lu Ya was hated by the Sun Star and probably became the Lord of the Sun Star long ago.

Even so, Lu Ya was the person closest to the position of Sun Star Lord.

Now that they see someone using the Sun Star to entrust their three corpses and achieve quasi-sainthood, the first person they think of is naturally Lu Ya.

The immortals of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation also knew that Lu Ya was the most likely person to become the Lord of the Sun Star.
Many of them had even traveled to the ancient starry sky, hoping to become the ruler of a star.
Some of them had been to the Sun Star and understood how much of an advantage Lu Ya had in becoming the Lord of the Sun Star.

That's why they were so surprised.

Wasn't Lu Ya supposed to be the most likely candidate to become the Lord of the Sun Star? What does Yang Xuan mean by this?
They had stayed in the ancient starry sky for so long, yet they had never seen a trace of Yang Xuan, nor had they even heard of him vying for the position of Sun Star Lord.

As it turned out, Yang Xuan quietly took down the Sun Star Lord!

As for how you figured that out, isn't that obvious? If Yang Xuan wasn't the Lord of the Sun Star, wouldn't he be courting death by using the Sun Star to harbor evil corpses?
Given Yang Xuan's personality, how could he possibly do such a thing?

Besides, they're not blind, so surely they can see the figure on the sun star?
Yes, with the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, all living beings in the primordial world saw a figure materializing from the ethereal surface of the sun.
He transformed into a young Taoist priest dressed in a golden robe, radiating golden light. His appearance was identical to Yang Xuan's.
However, the evil thoughts within Yang Xuan were quickly concealed, covered by the authority of the Sun Star, and could not be detected by outsiders in the slightest.
Moreover, the golden light emanating from him was not dazzling; instead, it gave people a warm feeling, making them feel cozy all over, as if they were basking in the sunlight on a cold winter day.

A moment later, the figure that looked exactly like Yang Xuan materialized and, taking advantage of the remaining power of heaven and earth, spoke:
"I am the Lord of the Sun Star, and together with the Lord of the Moon Star, I govern the rotation of the sun and moon, the changes of the four seasons, and the places where the sun shines, all things revive and life never ceases!"

Om-!
As Yang Xuan finished speaking, the Taiyin star shone with its cool moonlight, hanging in the primordial sky.
With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the Lord of the Moon emerged from the surface of the Moon in December and nodded to Yang Xuan's evil corpse on the Sun Star, who is now the Lord of the Sun Star.

The sun trembled slightly, emitting a mysterious fluctuation, and warm sunlight emanated from the sun, shining down on all parts of the primordial world.

Besides possessing unparalleled temperatures that represent destruction, the sun's rays also illuminate the vast primordial world, giving birth to all living beings and representing new life.

However, after the birth of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, they began to contend for supremacy in the primordial world, conquering one race after another with force, establishing the demon race, and building the demon race's heavenly court.
As a result, when the beings of the primordial world spoke of the sun, the first thing that came to mind was destruction, and the authority that nurtured all beings and represented new life was gradually ignored by them.

After Lu Ya and his companions accomplished the feat of the ten suns soaring into the sky, the beings of the prehistoric world felt only fear towards the sun, but not much respect.

In doing so, while it may enhance the Sun's authority over destruction, it also throws the Sun out of balance, so much so that even now, to this day, the Sun's original essence has not been restored.

Restoring the shared authority of destruction and rebirth, and replenishing the missing origin, has always been the Sun's long-cherished wish.

Now, taking advantage of the lingering power of heaven and earth, Yang Xuan spoke to all living beings in the primordial world: "Where the sun shines, all things revive, and life never ceases."
To make all living beings in the primordial world realize that the sun star also has the authority to nurture all living beings and represent new life.

Although it's just this one sentence, it's not enough to restore the Sun's authority to nurture all living beings and represent new life.

But this sentence will be like a seed; as long as the sun exercises its power normally in the future, allowing the sunlight, symbolizing life, to illuminate the vast and boundless land,

Let all things in the primordial world thrive and flourish under the sunshine.

Therefore, it is no longer impossible for the Sun to restore the balance between the powers of destruction and rebirth and to replenish the missing essence; it is only a matter of time.

If Yang Xuan uses his own power to get help from various forces such as the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, the Human Race, and the Dragon Race, this time will be greatly shortened.

The imbalance of power of the Sun Star is due to the misunderstanding of the Sun Star by all living beings in the primordial world. As long as this misunderstanding is corrected, this problem can be solved, which is actually not a difficult matter.

However, during the reigns of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, what they pursued was the power of being the supreme ruler of heaven and earth.

If it can instill fear in all living beings of the primordial world, it will be more beneficial to them, so it is impossible for them to correct this.

After the Lich Wars, the Sun Star would look down on Lu Ya and would never acknowledge him as its lord.

Therefore, no one helped the Sun Star to change the understanding of the solar system among the primordial beings, which is why it has become an unsolvable problem.

This shows the influence of humanity on the ways of heaven and earth. Humanity represents all living beings in the primordial world and is the greatest variable in the primordial world.
Even according to the principles of the universe, the sun possesses the power of destruction and rebirth.
However, once the understanding of the sun among the primordial beings changes, the sun's authority over rebirth will also decline.
Ultimately, after many years, they were unable to even make up for their missing essence.

This shows that the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity should coexist and mutually restrain each other.
Perhaps only a balance among the three realms can make the primordial world more complete, and the reason why the primordial world evolved into the Three Realms may also be due to this reason.

Whether this is the truth or not, Yang Xuan is not sure. This is just his realization after he noticed the imbalance of power of the Sun Star and understood the reason and solution.

But one thing he was certain of was that the change in the cognition of the primordial beings affected the authority of the Sun Star, which could also be seen as a kind of faith!
If we consider the Sun as a living being, then the Sun's fate...

Could this be interpreted as the Sun losing the faith of the masses, thus affecting its authority representing new life?
If this continues, will the Sun become a symbol of destruction and lose its authority to represent new life?

At that time, perhaps the sunlight of the sun will no longer nurture life, but will become a place where all things advance towards destruction.

Of course, in the end, these were all Yang Xuan's wild thoughts. There were sages in the prehistoric world, so how could they possibly watch such a thing happen?
However, Yang Xuan can now be fairly certain about the speculations regarding faith, and he is even clearer about the path that the Divine Way should take in the future.

The way of the gods sounds closely related to the way of heaven and earth, but in reality, the future of the way of the gods should lie in the way of humanity!
