Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

Taiyi sat cross-legged on the Jade Pool, his golden eyes fixed on the golden gourd in his palm.

The gourd was small, only about a foot long, and golden in color, with faint innate Dao patterns flowing on its surface.

It lay quietly in his palm, radiating a warm glow.

A primordial spiritual treasure embryo, extremely rare in the primordial world.

Unlike those pre-formed innate spiritual treasures that have fixed shapes and functions, it is more like an uncarved piece of jade, containing infinite possibilities.

With a little polishing, it becomes a fine innate spiritual treasure.

In his previous life, he refined this gourd into a flying dagger that could slay immortals—the words "Please turn around, my treasure" once struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful beings.

But this life is different.

Taiyi doesn't need to give the gourd away to anyone. Since this treasure is destined for him, it is his.

only……

Taiyi frowned slightly; he had no shortage of spiritual treasures.

The system of divination and array formations combines the Hetu and Luoshu, two treasures that can deduce heavenly secrets and arrange countless arrays. Even the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, a peerless and wondrous array, has been successfully deduced.

The Chaos Bell is one of the three treasures of creation, capable of both offense and defense. It suppresses the primordial chaos, reverses time and space, and is the strongest treasure in the prehistoric world.

With this bell in hand, no one below the sage can rival him; even if the sage himself were to arrive, he could still hold his own.

He controls the entire Sun Star, possesses the innate spiritual root Fusang Tree, and now holds the position of Heavenly Emperor, along with the Zhou Tian Star Array.

For him, Lingbao was merely an added bonus.

So here's the question: what exactly is he going to refine into this gourd?

If it were forged into a weapon of destruction like a flying knife, it would overlap with the function of the Chaos Bell, which would be a complete waste.

If it is refined into a defensive treasure, the Chaos Bell's defense is already unparalleled in the primordial world, so why bother with this extra step?

If one were to refine this auxiliary treasure, the Hetu and Luoshu would represent the pinnacle of deduction...

Taiyi closed his eyes in deep thought, his golden pupils slightly closed.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his golden eyes.

"I have no shortage of magical treasures, but I lack a world."

Taiyi muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the golden gourd in his palm, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

World Embryo.

It is not a paradise in the ordinary sense, but a real world independent of the primordial wilderness.

It has its own world, its own laws, its own sun, moon, and stars, and its own life forms.

Just like Pangu creating the primordial world.

Taiyi certainly didn't have the great power of Pangu to create the world, but he also didn't need to create a world as vast as the primordial chaos.

All he needs is a small world, a world centered around the sun, a small world that can grow and evolve according to his will.

This gourd is the best embryo.

This gourd blank itself is an unformed space containing primordial energy and the essence of chaos.

If it were someone else, they could at most refine it into a magical artifact, because they would not have enough power to create or support a world.

But Taiyi is the only one in the primordial world besides Hongjun.

He is the Lord of the Sun, wielding the power of the Sun, and has an inexhaustible supply of solar power at his disposal.

He is the Heavenly Emperor, holding the position of Heavenly Emperor, and can receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, which would definitely allow him to split this space apart.

Most importantly, he also possesses the Chaos Bell, which can suppress the primordial chaos, stabilize the newly formed world, and prevent a repeat of the cycle of earth, water, wind, and fire.

The gourd is refined into a world embryo, then nurtured and developed with the power of the sun, ultimately forming a small world with the sun at its core.

This aligns with his path and maximizes the value of the gourd.

More importantly, this embryonic world will become an important foundation for his future attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Good, this is the embryo of the world."

Taiyi suddenly stood up, his golden eyes burning with intense flames.

He strode out of the Lingxiao Palace, leaped into the air, and transformed into a golden-white streak of light, heading straight for the Sun Star.

In the Sun Star, beneath the Fusang Tree, Taiyi sat cross-legged.

He placed the golden gourd in front of him, formed a hand seal, and the holy flames of the sun surged from his palms, enveloping the gourd layer by layer.

Refining, begin.

Taiyi did not choose the traditional method of refining weapons, but instead used divine imprinting, magical tempering, and true fire forging.

What is created using that method is merely a magical artifact, not the world itself.

What he needs to do is to pioneer.

Using the sacred flames of the sun as an axe, he cleaved open the space inside the gourd; using the Hetu and Luoshu as a compass, he planned the laws and order of the world; using the Chaos Bell as a pillar, he suppressed the foundation and destiny of the world.

This is a long process, but fortunately, there is still a long time before Hongjun preaches, so he has plenty of time.

The space inside the gourd is like the chaos before the creation of the world—disorderly, chaotic, and violent.

Taiyi probed into it with his divine sense and sensed the size of that chaotic area, which was about 10,000 li in circumference, not very large.

If successfully developed, it will be a small world spanning thousands of miles. Although small, it can still evolve.

"Wanli..." Taiyi murmured, "That's enough. If we need to expand further in the future, we can open up new areas."

He took a deep breath and clasped his hands together abruptly.

The sacred flames of the sun transformed into a giant, golden-white axe phantom, which slashed down fiercely towards the chaotic space inside the gourd!

boom--

A silent explosion resounded in his consciousness, the chaotic space trembled violently, pure energy rose and turbid energy descended, and a small world began to take shape in the axe light.

But this is only the beginning.

Creating the world is not something that can be accomplished with a single axe stroke.

He used the Hetu Luoshu to deduce the laws of heaven and earth, then used the sacred flames of the sun to stabilize the pure and turbid qi, and finally used the Chaos Bell to suppress the spatial barriers and prevent the world from collapsing.

Step by step, cautiously, as if walking on thin ice.

Time flies like an arrow.

Taiyi sat in the Sun Star for tens of thousands of years.

On this day, the chaos inside the gourd finally opened up into a small world.

The sky is round and the earth is square, with a radius of ten thousand miles.

A small sun floats in the sky.

That is the core that Taiyi condensed with the holy flame of the sun, providing light and heat to this world.

However, in the primordial world there was only the earth, the sky, and the sun; there was nothing else.

There were neither stars nor mountains and rivers.

All that exists is flat land.

Taiyi's consciousness withdrew from the gourd, and he opened his eyes.

The embryo of the world has been formed.

Taiyi smiled slightly, holding the gourd in his palm, his golden eyes reflecting every corner of that little world.

"From this day forward, you will be my sunlit world," he said softly. "You will surely be of great help to me in the future."

When he tries to transcend the laws of nature, he will inevitably be hindered by them.

At that time, the power of Heaven would no longer be available.

Even the power of the sun would probably be difficult to draw upon.

At that time, the gourd will come in handy.

On the other side, inside the Pangu Hall.

The twelve ancestral witches sat around the blood pool, each occupying a side.

Dijiang is in the center, with the other ancestral witches arranged in order.

The twelve auras intertwined and resonated subtly with the residual power of Pangu's heart in the blood pool.
