Wangshu quietly watched Li Fan.

"Speak. What are you thinking?"

Li Fan's expression was grave. "I believe we must choose another path. Strip the Solar Star God Zhuzhao of his Grand Unity Dao Fruit and banish it to the Land of Guixu."

"Any seal will one day be broken. When that day comes, Zhuzhao's fury will turn on us first."

"I firmly oppose sealing him. We should settle this once and for all—eradicate the Solar Star God."

Once a Dao Fruit enters the Land of Guixu, even a Grand Unity cultivator, whose proof is eternal, would find it nearly impossible to return.

Time is the greatest enemy—the calamity of losing oneself. To revive, age after age must pass, seas turn to mulberry fields, things change and people are no more.

Goddess Wangshu gave a knowing smile. "Li Fan, I think you have another agenda."

"Stripping a Dao Fruit is essentially killing a Grand Unity cultivator, and Zhuzhao is a Great Divine Power."

"More importantly, killing a god causes the collapse of their law authority, which will shake the laws of Heaven and Earth. We need a foolproof plan."

A seven-colored flame flickered in Li Fan's hand. "Goddess, do you see what this is?"

Wangshu's face filled with shock. "Unbelievable. This is Solar True Fire. You've actually cultivated the Solar Law and intend to take Zhuzhao's authority for yourself."

Li Fan looked at the goddess with eager deference. "Help me slay Zhuzhao. I will go to the Solar Star and seize his divine authority."

"Whether I can kill him or not, I want to try. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity."

Wangshu gazed at Li Fan's resolute face. "I agree to go all out. But too many Great Divine Powers will show themselves in this battle—too many variables. I cannot guarantee the outcome."

Li Fan smiled. "Thank you, Goddess. I'll go into seclusion first, continue to strengthen myself, and increase our odds."

Wangshu watched Li Fan's retreating figure and murmured softly, "I hope you can suppress whatever schemes the Solar Star God Zhuzhao has left behind. May everything go smoothly."

Li Fan's time was tight. He wanted to break through to Grand Unity Fifth Heaven before the great battle arrived.

Old Ancestor Yin Yang's lectures, combined with comprehending the Pangu's Heaven-Opening Imprint within the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, gave Li Fan the confidence to break through.

In the Primordial Unrecorded Years, Li Fan ceaselessly comprehended the Yin Yang Law, deepening his understanding to a certain level.

Li Fan's World Dao continuously governed all laws, and the World Origin within him grew ever stronger.

At a certain moment, Li Fan broke through to Grand Unity Fifth Heaven. He had underestimated the power of this realm.

The restrictions he had set before seclusion were shattered by the law fluctuations triggered by his breakthrough.

The place where Li Fan was in seclusion erupted with grand phenomena—chaos churning, laws manifesting, starlight flickering.

The phenomena expanded unceasingly, eventually forming a Starry Sky Storm of ten thousand miles of Innate Qi, causing Heaven and Earth to change color and laws to manifest in a breathtaking scene.

Goddess Wangshu watched the phenomena within Li Fan's domain grow ever more vast and knew he had broken through to Grand Unity Fifth Heaven.

Fast—too fast. The leap from Grand Unity Fourth Heaven to Grand Unity Fifth Heaven was a major threshold. Even Wangshu had struggled greatly when she broke through.

Every time Li Fan went into seclusion, his cultivation advanced. Different people, different fates.

One fate, two luck, three feng shui. This god born on Mount Zhou was truly extraordinary, bearing a great secret. This was the result of Li Fan's "effort"—cheating, but a small cheat didn't count.

Li Fan felt the immense power within him. This time, comprehending Pangu's Heaven-Opening Imprint had been far too dangerous. At its worst, he had nearly undergone Dao Transformation.

Pangu's Heaven-Opening Imprint constantly influenced Li Fan's World Dao, draining his mental energy at an alarming rate.

Fortunately, the outcome was good. He had broken through to Middle Grand Unity, a leap equivalent to an entire major realm.

This time, through the Heaven-Opening Imprint, Li Fan also comprehended a new divine ability: "Sword Splits Yin Yang."

During the years Li Fan was in seclusion, the Solar Star God Zhuzhao broke through to Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven.

Li Fan emerged from seclusion to drink tea and discuss the Dao with Goddess Wangshu, but both kept their attention fixed on the Solar Star.

To quickly break through to the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity, the Solar Star God made a mad decision.

Because Li Fan possessed the Solar Law, he was more sensitive to changes on the Solar Star. "How can there be a black spot on the Solar Star? That's impossible. The Solar Law burns all things, and that spot is slowly spreading."

"Goddess, look at the Solar Star. There's a black spot spreading."

When Wangshu saw this, her face filled with shock and fury.

"Zhuzhao, how dare you! You actually dare to Eclipse the Sun!"

This thunderous roar drew the attention of all the Grand Unity cultivators in the Primordial World to the Solar Star.

Zhuzhao's face twisted with madness. "Found out so soon." The Solar Star God Zhuzhao accelerated the speed of the eclipse.

In the sky that had remained unchanged for ten thousand years in the Primordial World, all living things saw the sun being slowly devoured by darkness. A small region in the Western Primordial World had already lost sunlight.

Darkness descended upon the world. The Primordial World fell into chaos. Chaos Demon Gods tried to break through their seals. All living things suffered. The drastic temperature changes directly claimed countless precious lives.

In this era without reincarnation, the souls of the dead faced only one fate: death, annihilation into nothingness.

On the Primordial World's land, Sha Qi surged within the earth veins. In the sky, winds and clouds shifted violently—a raging storm was about to strike.

From an unknown place in the Primordial World, a Chaos Demon God spoke: "Which demon god is stirring wind and rain in the Primordial World? Can you help us break Pangu's seal and coordinate from within and without?"

A Chaos Demon God who had reversely corrupted the Solar Star God Zhuzhao replied: "Pangu's seal is too powerful. Even with coordination from within and without, it will be difficult to break."

"But I already have a new idea. Only Pangu's power can counter Pangu."

"That Solar God of the Primordial World has already fallen to my corruption. Whether he succeeds in eclipsing the sun or not, we can use the Solar Star's authority to help us."

"The authority over the Solar Star's dominion, along with the progress of Eclipse the Sun, I have also obtained a certain degree of permission."

"All fellow Chaos Demon Gods, help me—this time we will teach the Three Emperors a lesson, a tremendous surprise, hehehe..."

This Chaos Demon God is named "Chiri Demon God."

Whether at Mount Zhou or in the various blessed lands of the Primordial World where Pangu suppressed the Chaos Demon God Fruits, in an instant they erupted into chaos, and demon god avatars continuously manifested across the Primordial World.

Numerous avatars of the Chaos Demon Gods let out cackling laughs: "Everyone, let us lend a hand to Chiri Demon God and stir up a grand ruckus, hehehe."

Hongjun gazed at the sky slowly darkening, the starlight already dim: "All beings suffer; the living of the Primordial World are caught in this calamity, with nowhere to flee."

"The Five Elder Lords, assemble. This time, I will make all beings of the Primordial World know the price of tainting the Chaos Demon Gods."

Qiankun Ancestor rushed over upon hearing this: "I'm here. I knew this day would come. That brute Zhuzhao has fallen to demonhood—strike him."

Heavenly Emperor Cangli's expression turned grave: "It seems there's no choice but to act this time. Solar Star God Zhuzhao, I never imagined you would be this mad."

Earth Emperor Yuejian and Human Emperor Jiutou Clan spoke urgently: "The Primordial World All Spirits are suffering a great calamity; billions upon billions of lives are vanishing every moment. We must act quickly."

The Five Divine Beast Clan Leaders exchanged glances, calculation flickering in their eyes:

"This sudden disaster is our chance to expand our spheres of influence. Once we clear the Chaos Demon God avatars from our territories, we launch a full-scale assault from five directions, supporting each other—dragons fighting in the wild."

Goddess Wangshu summoned the Five Divine Emperors within the River of Time, but Yang Mei, the first among the Five Emperors, did not appear. Wangshu's brow furrowed slightly—what time was this, with fire licking at their brows?

Western White Emperor Luohu was brimming with excitement: "So many Chaos Demon God avatars—the Primordial World hasn't seen such liveliness in ages. Let me slaughter to my heart's content. The Western Primordial World is mine—kill, kill, kill..."

Central Yellow Emperor Goddess Taiyuan transmitted her voice urgently: "Sister Wangshu, the earth is covered with demon gods. I am now leading the many Da Luo Venerable Gods of the Primordial World in battle against the demon god avatars."

Southern Red Emperor Wangshu made a decisive call: "Ziguang, seal off the Solar Star Domain as planned. The starry sky is yours to handle. Everyone, move out."

Northern Black Emperor Ziguang acknowledged, adding a reminder: "Leave it to me. Wangshu, you need to get to the Solar Star quickly—the pace of Eclipse the Sun is accelerating."

Li Fan followed behind Goddess Wangshu; not long after, he once again arrived at the Solar Star.

This time, a final reckoning should be made. The great battle was imminent.
