Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Huanglong, the important task of restoring the stars in the heavens is entrusted to you."

After saying this, Haotian summoned a pagoda, which landed inside the Lingxiao Palace, and then hurriedly led Yaochi inside.

Huang Long observed the fluctuations in their auras; clearly, his becoming the Great Emperor of the Central Heaven Ziwei also brought them considerable benefits.

"The Great Emperor of the Central Heaven, Ziwei...!"

Huanglong murmured to himself, feeling the authority bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao within his body, a position that surpassed all the stars.

He took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, standing in the void, looking at the immortal mountains and spiritual peaks floating in the void.

The sea of ​​clouds surged, and rays of light shone everywhere. But the starry sky above, apart from the two stars of the Moon and the Sun, had only a few ancient stars emitting a dim light, like a dying beast with only a last faint breath.

He took a step forward, his figure transforming into a yellow streak of light, heading straight for the star field above.

The boundless starry sky, where those 365 ancient stars reside.

Far from the primordial wilderness, this place lies above the celestial realm, where terrifying gales howl incessantly. Only those at the Golden Immortal realm dare to set foot here.

The yellow dragon landed on the first ancient star.

This star is called "Greedy Wolf," the main killing technique, which was once controlled by a Great Luo Immortal of the Demon Clan.

The star Greedy Wolf is no longer as glorious as it once was. Its surface is covered with huge, bottomless cracks, from which comes an aura of death.

Huanglong landed on the earth, and looking around, he saw no greenery, and even the power of the stars was so thin that it was almost non-existent.

His primordial spirit at the peak of the Great Luo realm penetrated deep into the interior of the star, passing through layers of rock, and reaching the origin of "Greedy Wolf".

He saw a faint, almost extinguished primordial flame, its color dim. Fortunately, from the origin of the stars, streams of primordial energy emerged out of thin air, keeping this almost transparent primordial flame from going out.

Around the origin of the stars, Huanglong also discovered countless black threads intertwined...!

This is the karmic force left behind by the fallen Great Luo Immortals of the demon race who controlled the origin of the stars!

"So that's how it is!" Huanglong opened his eyes, his brows furrowed. "The source was exhausted, the spirituality dissipated with the fall of the star lord, and it was also eroded by karma...!"

"No wonder so much innate spiritual energy from the entire primordial world was consumed, yet the stars in the heavens still failed to revive."

He took a step and arrived at the second ancient star, Po Jun Star.

This star is in the same condition as the Greedy Wolf Star, its primordial fire dimmed and its spirituality lost...!

"During the great war between the Lich and the Demon race, the demon race extracted too much of the stellar essence in order to resist the Great Array of the Gods and Demons of the Budu Heaven. These stars also received the vast power that Pangu cleaved out, and it is already rare that they did not break."

Huang Long sighed and continued on his way.

He examined them one by one, from the Big Dipper to the Southern Dipper, and then to the Twenty-Eight Mansions...!

His footprints are left on every ancient star.

Time loses its meaning in the starry sky.

Huanglong weaved among the extinguished stars, his primordial spirit repeatedly probing, trying to find a way to revive these stars.

He tried to mobilize the origin of the Xuanhuang Realm and merge it into the origin of these stars.

But those origins vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, and the stars showed no reaction whatsoever.

He even poured his own merits into it, and finally there was a slight change. But Huanglong discovered that even if he exhausted all his merits, he could only revive one or two ancient stars that had already been extinguished.

Finally, Huanglong sat coiled atop Ziwei Star, the most revered star in the celestial sphere, now reduced to cold, lifeless remains.

He gazed at the dim, ancient stars in the sky and felt a surge of helplessness.

He had explored almost all of the 365 ancient stars.

Those ancient stars that still emit a faint starlight have one-tenth of their original essence remaining, while the ancient stars that have been extinguished have only a trace of embers burning in their original essence!

"Is there really no way out?" Huang Long muttered to himself.

"These ancient stars were formed from the blood vessels of the Great God Pangu. As long as the primordial world exists, they will never be completely extinguished."

"But how can we reactivate them in a short time...!"

He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

These stars are all in different conditions. If a way could be found to connect their origins, allowing them to resonate with and nourish each other, it might be possible to quickly restore the origins of those stars.

"How do we connect?" Huang Long frowned.

"These stars are separated by billions of miles, and most of them have gone out. How can we make them connected...?"

He stood up and slowly paced across the surface of the Purple Star.

Beneath my feet lay the cold remains of stars, while above me, the two stars, Taiyin and Taiyang, shone brightly, preventing the starry sky from becoming completely dark.

"The Sun Star, the Moon Star... Emperor Jun..."

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

"The Great Celestial Array!"

The reason why the demon race was able to contend with the witch race was because of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

This grand formation uses these 365 ancient stars as its base and the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams as its layout, drawing upon the power of the celestial bodies throughout the heavens, making it infinitely powerful.

Although this great formation was broken by the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation during the Lich War, its principle was undoubtedly correct.

The 365 ancient stars do indeed have some mysterious connection, and the Zhou Tian Star Array is the method to activate this connection.

"If we can recreate the Zhou Tian Star Array, we will surely find a way to revive these ancient stars."

A glint of light flashed in Huanglong's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again. "The Zhou Tian Star Array has been broken, and the He Tu and Luo Shu have been taken away by the Kunpeng. Where can we find the method to set up this array now?"

He stood on the Purple Star, gazing at the dim starry sky, and remained silent for a long time.

"No!" Huang Long suddenly whispered, "Although the Zhou Tian Star Formation is gone, a few of the demons who were the main force behind it... are still alive."

Moreover, those who survived were all quasi-saint level demon saints, including Bai Ze, who was known for his wisdom.

Bai Ze understands the feelings and states of all things, and was one of the demon saints who participated in the deduction of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Although he was not the one in charge of the formation, Bai Ze must have a deep understanding of the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

With that thought, Huanglong stopped and tore through the void, heading towards the location of the North Heavenly Gate.

Huanglong passed through the North Heavenly Gate and looked down at the land below, which was shrouded in miasma.

He didn't even need to investigate carefully to know where Bai Ze was.

Huanglong's gaze fell upon the few sacred mountains on this land, where the innate spiritual energy was abundant and the Daoist charm was pervasive.

The next moment, Huanglong took a step forward and appeared in front of a sacred mountain.

There are innate spiritual veins that have evolved into restrictions around the mountain.

The restriction radiates outwards for hundreds of thousands of miles from this sacred mountain, enveloping the entire mountain range.

Beyond the barrier lies a dense layer of acquired spiritual energy, mixed with miasma, making it utterly filthy!

Within the restricted area, pure air swirled, innate spiritual energy drifted, and the fragrance of spiritual herbs filled the air, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
