Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

The Great Sun Refinement has been completed, achieving perfect success.

Taiyi sat cross-legged under the Fusang tree, the entire Sun Star within his perception. Every wisp of true fire and every thread of origin was connected to him by blood and flesh and his primordial spirit.

He is the sun, and the sun is him.

At that moment, he sensed the door.

That door leads to the Primordial Golden Immortal.

The Great Dao resonated within him, the Law of the Sun surged through his blood, and the Great Dao of the Sun merged with his Dao Heart.

With just a thought, he could condense the entirety of his cultivation of the Great Dao of the Sun into a Primordial Dao Fruit, the Great Dao of the Sun.

Once the Dao Fruit is achieved, it can be entrusted to the Great Luo Heaven, occupying the supreme position corresponding to the sun, and achieving the position of the Sun God.

At that time, he will be a true sun god, wielding the power over the sun.

Below the level of a sage, no one can rival him.

Even a saint would have to show him some respect.

However, he would not do that, because he could wield the power of the sun without needing the position of the sun god.

There is only one position in the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Dao will only choose the one that is most compatible.

In other words, Taiyi does not yield the position of the Sun God; even if he himself does not want it, no one can surpass him to attain it!

Taiyi slowly opened his eyes, and within his golden pupils, two great suns slowly rotated.

He sensed that fruition.

Deep within the Great Luo Heaven, there is a vacant position reserved for the Sun God since the beginning of time.

Pangu's left eye transformed into the sun, which was the original setting of heaven and earth.

The sun should have a master, the sun should have a god.

If he so desires, he can condense a Dao Fruit right now and ascend to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal in one step.

However, Taiyi did not move.

He sat quietly under the Fusang tree, his golden eyes gazing towards the direction of the Great Luo Heaven, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

"The position of the Sun God..." he murmured, a slight smile playing on his lips, carrying an indescribable meaning.

The position of the Sun God is certainly a good thing.

That is one of the most noble positions in the world, second only to the position of the Heavenly Emperor.

The sun is the origin of all yang and the source of all heavens. The one who holds the power over the sun is one of the most powerful primordial deities in the world.

If he occupies this position, he will receive the blessing of Heaven, enjoy endless fortune, be indestructible through countless eons, and live as long as Heaven and Earth.

But that's not enough.

Taiyi shook his head, a fierce glint flashing in his golden eyes.

Although the position of the Sun God is esteemed, it is ultimately not the true supreme position.

Gods are those who hold office, bound by the laws of heaven and earth. With office comes responsibility, and failing in office means losing one's position.

No matter how powerful the Sun God is, he is merely a position within the Heavenly Dao system. He must obey the Heavenly Dao and be subject to the Heavenly Court.

However, the Heavenly Emperor's position is different.

The Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of all heavens and myriad realms, the king of all gods, and the supreme ruler between heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Emperor is not in charge of any position, but in charge of all positions; he does not obey anyone, but issues orders.

The Heavenly Emperor's position is above all other divine positions and is similar to that of a sage.

In some respects, it is even worse.

These positions are the true divine duties in the world!

Instead of the divine positions conferred by the Investiture of the Gods, those are false gods who rely on the way of offering incense and are controlled by the Investiture of the Gods!

The Heavenly Emperor represents order itself and is the pivot of the operation of heaven and earth.

A sage can transcend worldly affairs and remain detached from worldly matters; but the Heavenly Emperor must rule the universe and suppress all directions.

What Taiyi wanted was never to be a god in charge of a task.

He is the natural-born lord of the sun, so why does he need to prove his status as the sun god?

What he wanted was the Heavenly Emperor, the supreme being who ruled over the nine heavens and ten earths.

His position as the sun god was not worthy of his ambition.

"What I desire is the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."

Taiyi's voice was not loud, but it was as firm as metal and stone.

However, he did not give up on condensing the Dao Fruit.

He still needs to solidify the Sun Dao Fruit; this is his foundation.

His path is the Great Way of the Sun, and no matter what position he ultimately attains, the Great Way of the Sun will always be his foundation.

Without the Sun Dao Fruit, he is not qualified to compete for the Heavenly Emperor's position.

Just as you need to lay a foundation before building a house, you need to cultivate a root system before planting a tree.

The Heavenly Emperor's position is like a tall building, while the Sun Dao Fruit is like the foundation.

Taiyi closed his eyes, and the Solar Domain suddenly unfolded, mobilizing the power of the entire Sun Star.

The Great Japanese Source surged into his body like a vast ocean, and the laws of the sun wove together into a dense network of Dao around him.

He began to condense the Dao Fruit.

This process is different from refining the Great Sun, and it is also different from breaking through a realm.

Condensing the Dao Fruit involves compressing, purifying, and crystallizing the Great Dao Laws cultivated throughout one's life, ultimately forming a seed containing all one's Dao cultivation.

This seed is the fruit of the Tao.

Taiyi's Great Dao of the Sun is extremely powerful and fierce, and its domineering nature is unparalleled. Naturally, the process of condensing the Dao Fruit is also extremely domineering.

He didn't need to proceed step by step or be cautious; instead, he forcefully compressed and smelted the laws of the sun with the force of the sun melting gold.

Within the core of the Great Sun, the golden-white light grew brighter and more intense.

The magical power, primordial spirit, bloodline, and bones within the Taiyi body were all penetrated by the Great Dao of the Sun, transforming into nourishment for the Dao Fruit.

His body was glowing, his primordial spirit was burning, and his Dao heart was roaring.

A hundred years, ten thousand years.

After an unknown amount of time, a golden-white light appeared within Taiyi's primordial spirit.

The light spot was extremely small, only the size of a grain of rice, yet it contained a terrifying power capable of incinerating an entire world.

It slowly rotated within Taiyi's primordial spirit. With each rotation, a solar law would emerge from it, becoming more closely integrated with Taiyi's physical body and primordial spirit.

The fruit of the Sun Path has been achieved.

Taiyi opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue flashing in his golden pupils, but more so a sense of satisfaction.

The path to enlightenment has been achieved; all that remains is to entrust it to another.

He was not in a hurry to entrust his Dao fruit to the Great Luo Heaven.

He could take the position of the sun god at any time, but he did not intend to take that path.

He will wait until he returns to the Heavenly Court and becomes the Heavenly Emperor.

Before this, the Dao Fruit of the Sun was nurtured in his dantian, tempered day and night with the true fire of the sun. When the time comes to entrust it to him, it will be the day when the position of the Heavenly Emperor is secure.

Taiyi stood up and stood with his hands behind his back under the Fusang tree.

Golden eyes gaze beyond the Sun Star, passing through the Thirty-Three Heavens, looking towards the Great Luo Heaven in the darkness.

"I am determined to obtain the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."

Having said that, he flew towards Mount Buzhou.

Nowadays, the Heavenly Court can only be entered through the South Heavenly Gate.

Although it's not very convenient, it gives me a great sense of security.

Taiyi secretly vowed that when the Heavenly Court became powerful in the future, he would open more gates to connect to the four corners of the primordial world.

At the summit of Mount Buzhou, a sea of ​​clouds surges.

Styx sat cross-legged on a giant rock, surrounded by blood-red light, with the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords planted beside him, their sword energy soaring into the sky.

His aura was several times stronger than before.

Slay the evil corpse and become a quasi-saint.

Quasi-Saint is a realm above the Great Luo Golden Immortal, only one realm away from becoming a Saint.

Styx opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his blood-red pupils.

He looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Court was hidden and difficult to find.
