Wangshu quietly watched Li Fan.
"Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Li Fan looked grave. "I think we must choose another plan. Strip the Solar Star God Zhuzhao of his Grand Unity Dao Fruit and exile it to the Land of Guixu."
"As long as it is a seal, there will come a day when it is broken. When that happens, Zhuzhao's fury will be directed at us first."
"I firmly oppose sealing him. We should eliminate the Solar Star God once and for all."
Once a Dao Fruit entered the Land of Guixu, even if one attained Great Luo once and for all, it would be difficult to return.
Time was the greatest enemy—the calamity of losing oneself. To revive, era after era would pass, seas would turn to mulberry fields, and all things would change beyond recognition.
Goddess Wangshu smiled faintly. "Li Fan, I think you have another scheme in mind."
"Stripping away a Dao Fruit is practically the same as killing a Great Luo, let alone Zhuzhao, who is a Great Divine Power."
"Most importantly, killing a deity would cause the laws and authority it held to collapse, triggering unrest in the Heaven and Earth Laws. We need a foolproof plan."
A multicolored flame emerged in Li Fan's hand. "Goddess, look at this."
Wangshu was shocked. "I never expected this to be Solar True Fire. You actually cultivated the Solar Law and intend to take Zhuzhao's authority for yourself."
Li Fan looked eagerly at the goddess. "Help me kill Zhuzhao, and I will go to Taiyang Star to seize his Divine Authority."
"Whether or not we can kill Zhuzhao, I want to try. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity."
Wangshu looked at the resolute Li Fan. "I promise to give it my all, but too many Great Divine Powers will appear in this battle, and there are too many uncertainties. I cannot guarantee the outcome."
Li Fan smiled. "Thank you, Goddess. I'll enter seclusion first, continue improving my strength, and gain a little more certainty."
Wangshu watched Li Fan's departing figure and murmured softly, "I hope you can suppress the preparations Zhuzhao left behind. May everything go smoothly."
Li Fan's time was also tight. He wanted to break through to the Grand Unity Fifth Heaven before the battle arrived.
Old Ancestor Yin Yang's teachings, combined with his comprehension of Pangu's Heaven-Opening Imprint within the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, gave Li Fan confidence in his breakthrough.
In the Primordial Unrecorded Years, Li Fan constantly comprehended the Yin Yang Law, bringing his understanding of it to a certain level.
Li Fan's World Dao continuously governed all kinds of laws, and the World Origin within his body grew ever stronger.
At a certain moment, Li Fan broke through to the Grand Unity Fifth Heaven. He had underestimated just how formidable this realm was.
The restrictions he had set before entering seclusion were destroyed by the fluctuations of law triggered by his breakthrough.
Chaotic currents surged around Li Fan's place of seclusion. Laws manifested, starlight flickered, and other grand phenomena appeared.
The phenomena continued to expand, eventually forming a Starry Sky Storm of Innate Qi spanning ten thousand miles, causing heaven and earth to change color and creating an astonishing sight of manifested laws.
Goddess Wangshu watched the phenomena within Li Fan's dojo grow increasingly vast and knew that he had broken through to the Grand Unity Fifth Heaven.
Fast—far too fast. The Grand Unity Fourth Heaven to the Grand Unity Fifth Heaven was a major hurdle. Back when Wangshu broke through, she had suffered greatly.
Every time Li Fan entered seclusion, his cultivation improved. Different people truly had different fates.
First fate, second luck, third feng shui. The deity born from Mount Zhou was indeed extraordinary and possessed a heaven-shaking secret. This was the result of Li Fan's "hard work." A minor cheat did not count as cheating.
Li Fan sensed the tremendous power within himself. This time, comprehending Pangu's Heaven-Opening Imprint had still been too dangerous. At its worst, Li Fan had nearly undergone Dao Transformation himself.
Pangu's Heaven-Opening Imprint constantly influenced Li Fan's World Dao, and his spiritual energy was being rapidly drained.
Fortunately, the result was good. He had broken through to the Middle Grand Unity, equivalent to crossing a major realm.
Through the Heaven-Opening Imprint, Li Fan also comprehended another divine ability: Sword Splits Yin Yang.
During the years Li Fan was in seclusion, the Solar Star God Zhuzhao broke through to the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven.
After leaving seclusion, Li Fan drank tea and discussed the Dao with Goddess Wangshu, but both of them kept their attention fixed on Taiyang Star.
To quickly break through to the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity, the Solar Star God made a mad decision.
Li Fan possessed the Solar Law and was more sensitive to the changes on Taiyang Star. "Why is there a black spot on Taiyang Star? That's impossible. The Solar Law burns all things, yet this black spot is slowly spreading."
"Goddess, look at Taiyang Star! A black spot is slowly spreading."
Wangshu saw the situation, her face filled with shock and fury.
"Zhuzhao, how dare you attempt to Eclipse the Sun!"
This furious shout drew the eyes of countless Great Luos throughout the Primordial World to Taiyang Star.
A crazed expression appeared on Zhuzhao's face. "You discovered it so quickly." The Solar Star God Zhuzhao accelerated the Eclipse the Sun.
In the skies that had remained unchanged for countless years, all beings discovered that the sun was slowly being devoured by darkness. A small region in the Western Primordial World could no longer receive sunlight.
Darkness descended upon the world, and the Primordial World fell into chaos. Chaos Demon Gods tried to break through their seals, all beings suffered, and the drastic change in temperature caused many to lose their precious lives outright.
In this era without Reincarnation, once all beings became souls, only death awaited them. They would scatter into ashes and vanish.
Across the Primordial World, baleful qi surged within the Earth Veins. Above, wind and clouds changed abruptly as a violent storm approached.
In an inaccessible place within the Primordial World, the Chaos Demon Gods said, "Which Demon God is stirring wind and rain across the Primordial World? Can you help us break Pangu's seal and strike from within and without?"
The Chaos Demon God that had corrupted the Solar Star God Zhuzhao in reverse said, "Pangu's seal is too powerful. Even if we strike from within and without, it will be difficult to break."
"However, I have a new idea. Only Pangu's power can deal with Pangu."
"The Sun God of the Primordial World has already been demonized by me. Whether he succeeds in Eclipse the Sun or not, we can use Taiyang Star's authority to help us."
"As Eclipse the Sun progresses, I have also gained a certain degree of authority over Taiyang Star."
"Fellow Chaos Demon Gods, help me. This time, we will teach the Three Emperors a lesson—a tremendous surprise. Hehehe..."
This Chaos Demon God was named Chiri.
Whether on Mount Zhou or in the Chaos Demon God Fruits suppressed by Pangu throughout the major blessed lands of the Primordial World, disturbances erupted in an instant. Demon God incarnations continuously manifested across the Primordial World.
The many Chaos Demon God incarnations let out eerie laughter. "Everyone, let us lend Chiri Demon God a hand and wreak some havoc. Hehehe."
Hongjun looked at the gradually darkening sky, where the starlight had already dimmed. "The world is filled with suffering. All beings of the Primordial World are trapped within calamity, with nowhere to escape."
"Five Elder Lords, assemble. This time, I will let all beings of the Primordial World know the price of being corrupted by Chaos Demon Gods."
Ancestor Qiankun arrived upon hearing the call. "I'm here. I knew this day would come. That bastard Zhuzhao has already fallen to demonhood. Hit him!"
Heavenly Emperor Cangli's expression was solemn. "It seems I have no choice but to act this time. Solar Star God Zhuzhao, I never thought you would become this mad."
Earth Emperor Yuejian and Human Emperor Jiutou Clan said urgently, "All beings of the Primordial World are suffering a tremendous calamity. Every moment, countless living beings are vanishing. We must act quickly."
The Five Divine Beast Clan Leaders exchanged glances, calculation flashing in their eyes:
"This sudden disaster is an excellent opportunity to expand our territories. Once we clear out the Chaos Demon God incarnations within our domains, we will launch a full offensive. The five directions will support one another—dragons battle in the wild."
Within the River of Time, Goddess Wangshu summoned the Five Divine Emperors. However, Yang Mei, the foremost among the Five Emperors, did not appear. Wangshu's brows furrowed slightly. At a time like this, with disaster at hand—
Western White Emperor Luohu looked excited. "So many Chaos Demon God incarnations! The Primordial World has not been this lively in a long time. Let me kill to my heart's content. Leave the Western Primordial World to me. Kill, kill, kill..."
Central Yellow Emperor Goddess Taiyuan transmitted hurriedly, "Sister Wangshu, Demon Gods are everywhere on the land. I am currently leading many Da Luo Venerable Gods of the Primordial World in battle against the Demon God incarnations."
Southern Red Emperor Wangshu made an immediate decision. "Ziguang, follow the plan and seal off the Solar Star Domain. The Star Sky is yours. Everyone, move!"
Northern Black Emperor Ziguang responded, then reminded her, "Leave it to me. Wangshu, hurry to Taiyang Star. Eclipse the Sun is accelerating."
Li Fan followed behind Goddess Wangshu and returned to Taiyang Star once more after not long.
This time, it was time to settle everything. The great battle was on the verge of eruption.
