Primordial Starry Sky

Li Fan crossed countless light-years in a single thought and arrived at Taiyin Star.

Beneath the Moon Laurel Tree, Goddess Wangshu opened her starry eyes. "Li Fan, you're here. Congratulations on becoming the Solar Star God."

Li Fan smiled. "Isn't it all thanks to the Goddess's care? No words can express my gratitude."

Wangshu gently shook her head. "What is fated will come; what is not fated cannot be forced. Zhuzhao was too proud. He would rather die than be sealed. I did not help you much."

Li Fan asked, "Goddess, tell me about the first half of the great battle. I was focused on fighting Zhuzhao's avatar within Taiyang Star and did not see it."

Wangshu slowly began, "When Zhuzhao was about to be sealed, he sacrificed himself and performed a Blood Sacrifice with his Dao Fruit, vastly increasing the power of his laws. Even I was no match for him then. The Three Emperors had previously drawn all of Zhuzhao's hatred, so the four of them fought all the way to Mount Zhou. You already know what happened afterward."

"Let me tell you about the major events that have occurred in the Prehistoric Universe recently."

"The Nine Heavens of the Primordial World may be splitting apart. The three Da Luo Venerable Gods of the Three Heavens—Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian—have already begun taking action. Heavenly Emperor Cangli is still in seclusion recovering from his injuries. His wounds seem quite serious."

Li Fan pondered for a moment. "Cangli Clan's injuries are crucial, but I think the most important factor was the manifestation of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, which made the Three Heavens finally resolve themselves."

The Heavenly Dao was the supreme rule of the Prehistoric Universe, controlling everything.

Wangshu circled Li Fan once. "Li Fan, you've really made something of yourself. You actually defeated Zhuzhao's avatar. You've given me quite a surprise."

Li Fan chuckled. "Restoring the glory of the Star Sky is the duty of our generation. From now on, please call me Solar Star God Li Fan."

Goddess Wangshu rolled her eyes at Li Fan. Li Fan looked unconvinced. "I'll show you how formidable I am. Zhuzhao's avatar was no easy opponent."

At that moment, Li Fan stood atop the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus, with the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls behind him emitting Sea-Calming Divine Light, while the World Sword rested in his hand.

"As for Zhuzhao's avatar, I avoided his edge. Let his true body come instead."

Goddess Wangshu looked utterly shocked. "These are the Innate Spiritual Treasure, top-tier innate spiritual root, and Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure you found last time? Are such things really that easy to obtain? Fine, fine, this is how you want to play it!"

"If Zhuzhao hadn't died and really came, you wouldn't be happy either."

Li Fan looked smug. After refining the Solar Authority and comprehending the Nine Yang Law, he broke through to the sixth level of Great Luo over the long years. The laws of World Origin had also grown stronger.

Another Medium World among the Thirty-Six Heavens had advanced into a Great Thousand World. Li Fan possessed the power of four Great Thousand Worlds, and the gathered World Sword held the power to annihilate all laws.

Wangshu laughed softly. "From what I saw in the last great battle, Li Fan, you were the greatest winner. You gained every benefit, while the Three Emperors were the greatest losers."

"Li Fan, are you perhaps the child of destiny? Three Innate Spiritual Treasures—one for attack, one for defense, and one for enlightenment. Stop hiding anything else and let me see."

Li Fan waved his hand. "That's all. I'm not as wealthy as you, Goddess. An Innate Supreme Treasure is the treasure of my dreams."

In the years that followed, Li Fan remained on Taiyin Star and distributed the embryonic Auxiliary Stars array flags he had previously refined on Taiyang Star to the gods throughout the Star Sky.

Li Fan looked over the entire Star Sky. The Star Gods worked with great enthusiasm, and he was deeply satisfied.

Li Fan and Goddess Wangshu spent their days peacefully on Taiyin Star, drinking tea and discussing the Dao.

Taiyin and Taiyang, yin and yang in harmony—unmatched beneath heaven.

The Primordial World began growing lively. The Nine Heavens made constant moves, forcing Heavenly Emperor Cangli to leave seclusion. Rather than easing, the situation only intensified further.

Cangli Clan arrived at the Divine Kingdom treasury. "Juling Clan, are there any healing treasures left?"

Juling Clan looked helpless. "Heavenly Emperor, there are no high-grade healing treasures left. How is your recovery progressing?"

Heavenly Emperor asked, "Did you ask the Earth Emperor and Human Emperor whether they have any spare healing treasures? Their injuries are lighter than mine."

Juling Clan replied helplessly, "No. Heavenly Emperor, you could go to the Star Sky. Three Lights Divine Water is formed from sunlight, moonlight, and purple light. It is the foremost healing sacred item in the Prehistoric Universe and will surely help your recovery."

Cangli Clan said gloomily, "I have suffered severe injuries and cannot let those with ulterior motives see through my condition. You and Tianling Clan, the two Da Luo Venerable Gods, are my most capable subordinates. Your movements are constantly being watched."

"I'll discuss it with Yuejian Clan and Jiutou Clan." The Three Emperors secretly communicated through divine sense within the River of Time.

"Our Origin Dao Injuries are too severe. We must obtain Three Lights Divine Water. Is there any way to get it without anyone noticing?"

Yuejian Clan spoke. "Cangli Clan, do you know? A new Solar Star God has appeared. His name is Li Fan, and he used to be under the Taiyin Star Lord."

Jiutou Clan continued, "I have a good impression of Li Fan. Borrowing Three Lights Divine Water from him should not be a problem."

Cangli Clan was shocked. The greatest winner was the Taiyin Star Lord—no, it was the new Solar Star Lord, Li Fan. Fine, fine, this was how they wanted to play it. A seamless transition.

Jiutou Clan slowly said, "I have a way. There is an unknown Great Luo within the Human Dao Hall of Heroes named Titing Clan. He can visit the Supreme Stars of the Star Sky and request to borrow Three Lights Divine Water."

Cangli Clan spoke urgently. "Act quickly. Have Titing Clan bring a large number of treasures for the exchange."

Cangli Clan was filled with resentment. Damn Zhuzhao, damn Demon Gods. They had kept targeting him throughout the great battle. Because of his Origin Dao Injury, he could now only display the strength of the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven. If he continued fighting, his injuries might become even worse.

Cangli Clan felt exhausted. Demon Gods stood on one side, and the Five Elder Lords on the other. He could only hope Titing Clan's journey to the Star Sky would proceed smoothly.

Wangshu and Li Fan discovered an unknown Great Luo outside Taiyin Star.

Li Fan instructed a Star God to receive the visitor, and Titing Clan arrived on Taiyin Star.

Titing Clan had specifically studied the powers of the Star Sky. Seeing that both the Solar Star Lord and Taiyin Star Lord were present meant one less trip to make.

Titing Clan was very respectful toward Li Fan and Wangshu.

"Greetings, Taiyin Star Lord and Solar Star Lord. By the order of the Three Emperors, I have come to the Star Sky to request a large amount of Three Lights Divine Water. This is the decree of the Three Emperors."

Li Fan saw Titing Clan take out many treasures to exchange for Three Lights Divine Water.

Titing Clan stated an approximate quantity.

Li Fan nodded upon hearing it. "Titing Clan, wait a moment. I'll go find Doumu Yuanjun."

Goddess Ziguang soon arrived on Taiyin Star, walking toward Li Fan with a smile.

"Solar Star Lord Li Fan, incredible. You've already broken through to the sixth level of Great Luo. Perhaps one day you'll catch up to me. Li Fan, your cultivation speed puts a great deal of pressure on me!"

Li Fan hurriedly waved his hands. "Stop teasing me. The Three Emperors' Envoy is here to request a large amount of Three Lights Divine Water. Business comes first."

Ziguang put on a helpless expression. "There isn't that much Three Lights Divine Water."

Li Fan kept winking at Goddess Ziguang, and Ziguang understood that there was something important to discuss.

On Penglai Immortal Island, Li Fan had obtained a large amount of Three Lights Divine Water. Turning this simple matter into something complicated meant he had his own aims.

"Goddess Wangshu, Goddess Ziguang, I'll provide the greater portion of the Three Lights Divine Water this time. I want the Three Emperors to owe the three of us a karmic debt."

Ziguang blinked, somewhat worried. "Wouldn't that mean you're taking a loss, Li Fan?"

Wangshu was expressionless. "When has Li Fan ever taken a loss? It would be good enough if he did not trick others. Fine, we'll listen to him this time."

Li Fan received Titing Clan with a solemn expression. "There is Three Lights Divine Water, but these treasures are not enough. The Three Emperors must owe the three of us a karmic debt."

Titing Clan revealed a troubled expression and went to the River of Time to discuss it with the Three Emperors.

In the end, Li Fan achieved his goal and watched Titing Clan depart.

He alone did not dare make the Three Emperors, three Top-tier Great Divine Powers, owe him a karmic debt. Li Fan still knew of the Two Sages of the West's method of having debts vanish with death in Later Generations.

The Former Solar Star God Zhuzhao had mortally offended the Three Emperors. As the current Solar Star God, Li Fan did not dare act too arrogantly.

As the Tribulation Protagonists of the God-Demon Era, the Three Emperors' karmic debt was something Li Fan had prepared for a rainy day. There would come a time when it proved useful.
