Lu Jun murmured to himself.
He had been wandering continuously among the stars earlier, testing the various prompts and choices offered by the system.
When faced with a main star, the system prompt had told Lu Jun to leave quickly. Such enormous stars would accrete his energy!
Lu Jun understood this well. After all, only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could exert even basic control over a main star.
Within the Great Array of the Stars of Heaven refined by Di Jun, the large Star Banners corresponded to the main stars.
And only Grand Unity Golden Immortals could wield the large Star Banners!
This was the influence of Great Dao laws. After all, the stars of the Great Desolation World were not merely material celestial bodies; they were also manifestations of Great Dao laws!
Many main stars even nurtured Innate Divine Beings within them!
At the Grand Unity Immortal realm, he simply could not compare to them in terms of Great Dao laws.
Yet when he approached sub-stars, the system had instead prompted him that he could accrete them and increase his energy somewhat.
At the same time, he could gain control over some of the Great Dao law fragments contained within them.
However, once he accreted them, there was a chance that such sub-stars would fall in rank, changing from sub-stars into fragmented stars.
Until he encountered this still-unformed Star Embryo.
It was not merely a Star Embryo, but also a manifestation of a thread of Great Dao law.
However, this manifestation was not guaranteed to succeed. There was a high chance that it would be snuffed out by the Chaos Gale during its formation and return to Chaos.
Yet the system gave him a different prompt this time.
Three choices!
[Accrete]!
[Empower]!
[Ignore]!
These three choices were exactly the same as when he had chosen whether to help his eight brothers turn into eggs.
Lu Jun glanced at the three choices.
"Choice two!"
The moment his inner voice fell silent, what happened next made the pupils of the three mighty beings standing at the pinnacle of the Prehistoric World suddenly constrict, their minds violently shaken!
Lu Jun transformed into a streak of white light and landed precisely upon the still-unformed Star Embryo.
Boom!!!
A terrifying force of attraction suddenly erupted from the Star Embryo!
The Chaos Qi surrounding the Star Embryo seemed to have been drawn by some supreme law.
No longer did it crash about wildly. Instead, it transformed into countless docile streams, surging frantically and willingly into that transforming point of light!
Its efficiency surpassed that of ancient stars passively absorbing Chaos Qi by hundreds or thousands of times!
At the same time, Lu Jun, wrapped within the Star Embryo, radiated terrifying Sun Divine Fire.
The instant those divine flames appeared, they broke down, purified, and transformed the Chaos Qi, turning it into the purest star origin and merging it into the core.
Before the disbelieving eyes of the three mighty beings, that tiny, fragile Star Egg expanded and solidified at a visible rate!
Its light grew brighter and brighter, while its structure became increasingly stable!
Chaos Gas Flows wound around it, forming a small vortex that had begun to take shape!
As time passed, the Star Embryo that had originally been on the verge of annihilation completely stabilized, transforming into a tiny but structurally complete fragmented star that emitted steady starlight...
It was no longer an embryo, but a true newborn star capable of growing on its own and absorbing Chaos Qi by itself!
A fragmented star was still a star!
It was a fully manifested fragment of Great Dao law!
"H-how is this possible?!"
Minghe cried out in shock, his blood-red pupils filled with utter disbelief!
More than anyone else, he understood how terrifying the energy, how exquisite the power of creation, and how vast the span of time required to nurture a star—especially one directly matured from an embryo!
This was absolutely not something a Grand Unity Immortal could accomplish!
What shocked him even more was Lu Jun's method of controlling Chaos Qi and transforming it into star origin. It was simply unheard of!
Zhen Yuanzi's hand trembled, and the light of the Book of the Earth flickered violently!
He tried to use the power of the Earthly Fetal Membrane to analyze the laws of that newborn star.
Yet he sensed within it a Star Law entirely different from the Prehistoric World's earth—more ancient, closer to the Chaos Origin!
This completely overturned his understanding of Star Evolution!
"Turning stone into gold... No, this is enlightening Chaos and creating stars! Such a method..."
Tai Yi's entire body shook violently, and the phantom of the Chaos Bell behind him let out a long, resonant hum!
He stared fixedly at the newborn star born through Lu Jun, its glow faint yet unwavering, as unprecedented brilliance erupted from his eyes!
Excitement, wild joy, disbelief... all kinds of emotions intertwined!
He understood!
He finally understood what Lu Jun meant by a "vessel that could continuously grow"!
"Stars! It's stars! And they are... newborn stars capable of continuously growing!"
Tai Yi's voice trembled slightly. It was the excitement of witnessing a path that overturned everything!
If there was anything in this Great Desolation World that was still continuously growing,
then the stars filling the heavens were among them!
As the Great Desolation World continued to grow, more stars were being nurtured at the border between Chaos and the Prehistoric World.
This was the continuous manifestation of the Great Dao of the Prehistoric World, and also one of the foundations maintaining the stability of its "curtain."
Lu Jun's previous Nirvana had already caused his other brothers to undergo Nirvana as well, evolving into their current star-egg forms.
He himself possessed certain special divine abilities and fortune.
Using stars as a foundation, he could divide his origin and gradually grow!
This might truly be a special path!
Lu Jun's figure flashed, leaving the fragmented star's position as the True Sun Fire around him extinguished.
He quietly floated beside that newborn fragmented star, whose glow was faint yet unwavering, as though guarding a newborn infant.
The fragmented star slowly rotated, steadily absorbing the surrounding Chaos Gas Flows and transforming them into its own star origin as it took the first step of its long life.
As Lu Jun withdrew, the Divine Senses of Tai Yi, Zhen Yuanzi, and Minghe swept over the newborn star like the most precise probes.
"Hum..."
A faint yet incomparably clear sense of resonance came through!
Deep within the fragmented star's core, a trace of aura sharing Lu Jun's origin had taken root like a brand!
It was not the agonizing tearing of a forcibly implanted mark, but a strange, harmonious symbiosis like water blending with milk!
It was as though that star had been born to bear Lu Jun's mark!
"T-this succeeded?!"
Ancestor Minghe cried out in shock, his voice dry and shrill, filled with extreme disbelief!
His face, covered in blood-red markings, twitched violently. His scarlet pupils stared fixedly at the fragmented star before abruptly turning toward Lu Jun, as though he wanted to devour him alive!
Why?
Back then, Minghe had needed to endure the piercing agony of his origin being torn apart billions of times.
He had struggled and drifted amid filth and resentment, enduring endless ages before "fortunately" attaining the divine ability of Manifesting Billions of Avatars through Blood God Sons.
Why had this Grand Unity Immortal junior before him succeeded so easily?
He had merely enlightened an insignificant Star Egg, yet he could so effortlessly and "without loss" imprint his own origin within it, opening up a vessel that could grow alongside the star?
This completely overturned his understanding of "origin division" and "Manifesting Billions of Avatars"!
Compared to Lu Jun's seemingly effortless act, all the pain and danger he had experienced seemed so laughable!
A powerful sense of absurdity and fury at being completely denied gnawed at his Dao Heart like venomous snakes.
Could the path of "seizing" that he took such pride in be nothing more than a clumsy, inefficient wrong road in the other party's eyes?
He refused to believe it!
He could not accept it!
Beneath his blood robe, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, while strands of violent blood qi leaked out uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, after his initial wild joy and excitement, Tai Yi fell into deeper contemplation and deliberation.
He clearly sensed Lu Jun's success and understood its core.
After Lu Jun's Nirvana Rebirth, his origin was no longer that of a pure Golden Crow. Instead, it had fused with Chaos essence and some unknown power of star creation.
It was precisely this transformation that gave him the possibility of enlightening Star Embryos and imprinting his origin without loss.
As for Tai Yi, he was still a pure Great Sun Golden Crow, his origin long inseparable from the Sun Star.
"My path..."
