The System Helps Split the Primordial Spirit!

Lu Jun murmured to himself.

He had been drifting among the various stars earlier, essentially testing the hints and choices the system offered.

When he approached a main star, the system warned him to leave quickly—such a massive star would absorb his energy!

Lu Jun understood. After all, only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could barely control a main star.

In the Great Array of the Stars of Heaven refined by Di Jun, the great Star Banners corresponded to the main stars.

And only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could wield a great Star Banner!

This was the influence of the Great Dao's rules, for the stars of the Great Desolation World were not merely physical stars—they were also manifestations of the Great Dao's rules!

In fact, many main stars already nurtured "Innate Divine Beings" within them!

At his Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, he simply couldn't compete with them in terms of the Great Dao's rules.

But when he neared a sub-star, the system did remind him that he could absorb it, gaining a bit of energy.

He could also take control of some of the Great Dao's rule fragments it contained.

However, once absorbed, the sub-star might drop in rank, turning from a sub-star into a fragmented star.

That was until he encountered this unformed star embryo.

It wasn't just a star embryo—it was also a manifestation of a thread of the Great Dao's rules.

But this manifestation wasn't guaranteed to succeed; it could easily be extinguished by the Chaos Gale during formation and return to Chaos.

Yet the system now gave him a different prompt.

Three choices!

[Absorb]!

[Empower]!

[Ignore]!

These three choices were exactly the same as when he had decided whether to help the eight brothers and sisters transform into eggs.

Lu Jun glanced at the three options.

"Choice two!"

The moment he spoke in his heart, what followed made the three great beings at the pinnacle of the Great Desolation World's pupils contract sharply, their minds and spirits shaken!

Lu Jun transformed into a beam of white light and landed precisely on that unformed star embryo.

Boom!!!

A terrifying force of attraction suddenly erupted from the star embryo!

The Chaos Qi around the embryo, as if drawn by some supreme law, ceased its violent assault.

Instead, it turned into countless docile streams, frantically and willingly pouring into that transforming point of light!

Its efficiency was thousands of times greater than the passive absorption of Chaos Qi by ancient stars!

At the same time, Lu Jun, wrapped within the star embryo, radiated terrifying Sun Divine Fire power.

As soon as this divine fire appeared, it decomposed, purified, and transformed the Chaos Qi into the purest star origin, merging into the core.

Under the incredulous gazes of the three great beings, that tiny, fragile star egg swelled and solidified at a visible rate!

Its light grew brighter, its structure more stable!

Chaos gas flows swirled around it, forming a small, nascent vortex!

As time passed, the star embryo that had been on the verge of annihilation stabilized completely, turning into a tiny but structurally complete star radiating a steady stellar glow... a fragmented star!

It was no longer an embryo, but a true, newborn star capable of self-growth and self-absorption of Chaos Qi!

A fragmented star was still a star!

It was a fully manifested fragment of the Great Dao's rules!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Minghe exclaimed in shock, his blood-red pupils filled with utter astonishment!

He knew better than anyone how terrifying an amount of energy, how exquisite a power of creation, and how vast a span of time were needed to nurture a star—especially one directly birthed from an embryo!

This was absolutely not something a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal could achieve!

What shocked him even more was Lu Jun's method of controlling Chaos Qi and transforming star origin—it was utterly 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 rules of the newborn star.

But he sensed a stellar law within it, one utterly different from the Great Desolation Earth, more ancient, closer to the Chaos Origin!

This completely overturned his understanding of star evolution!

"Turning stone to gold... no, this is enlightening Chaos, creating stars! Such means..."

Tai Yi's entire body shook, and the phantom of the Chaos Bell behind him let out a long, resonant hum!

He stared fixedly at the newborn star emerging from Lu Jun's body, its faint yet steadfast light blazing with unprecedented brilliance in his eyes!

Excitement, ecstasy, disbelief... a torrent of emotions intertwined!

He understood!

He finally understood what Lu Jun meant by a "continuously growing vessel"!

"Stars! It's stars! And moreover... newborn stars capable of endless growth!"

Tai Yi's voice trembled slightly—the thrill of witnessing a revolutionary path!

If anything in this Great Desolation World was still growing, then the countless stars in the sky were among them!

As the Great Desolation World continued to expand, more stars were being conceived at the boundary between chaos and the world.

This was the constant manifestation of the Great Desolation's Great Dao, and one of the cornerstones stabilizing the world's "curtain."

Lu Jun's previous Nirvana Rebirth had already caused several of his brothers to undergo the same process, evolving into star-egg forms.

He himself carried unique divine abilities and fortune.

Using stars as a foundation, dividing his origin, and gradually growing!

This might truly be a special path!

Lu Jun's form flickered, leaving the position of the Fragmented Star, and the True Sun Fire on his body extinguished.

He silently floated beside the newborn star, its faint yet steadfast light glowing, as if guarding a newborn infant.

The Fragmented Star slowly rotated, steadily absorbing the surrounding Chaos Gas Flow, converting it into its own star origin, beginning the first step of its long life.

With Lu Jun's departure, the Divine Senses of Tai Yi, Zhen Yuanzi, and Ancestor Minghe swept over the newborn star like the most precise probes.

"Hum..."

A faint yet unmistakably resonant connection came through!

Deep within the core of that Fragmented Star, a trace of origin identical to Lu Jun's was deeply rooted like a brand!

It wasn't the painful tearing of forced implantation, but a strange, harmonious symbiosis, like water blending with milk!

As if that star was born to bear Lu Jun's imprint!

"Th-this... succeeded just like that?!"

Ancestor Minghe's voice cracked, dry and sharp, brimming with utter disbelief!

His face, covered in blood-red lines, twitched violently. His scarlet pupils locked onto the Fragmented Star, then snapped back to Lu Jun, as if he wanted to devour him whole!

Why?

Why had he, Ancestor Minghe, endured the agonizing tearing of his origin billions of times, struggling and sinking in filth and resentment, spending endless eons only to "barely" achieve the divine ability of Manifesting Billions of Avatars?

Why could this mere Primordial Unity Golden Immortal junior succeed so easily?

He merely awakened an insignificant Star Egg, and effortlessly, "without loss," imprinted his origin onto it, creating a vessel that could grow alongside the star?

This completely overturned his understanding of "origin splitting" and "manifesting billions of avatars"!

The pain and peril he had endured seemed utterly laughable compared to Lu Jun's casual act!

A profound sense of absurdity and the rage of being utterly negated gnawed at his Dao heart like a venomous serpent.

Was his proud path of "forcible possession" nothing but a clumsy, inefficient detour in the eyes of others?

He refused to believe it!

He couldn't accept it!

Beneath his blood-red robe, his fingers whitened from strain, and strands of violent blood energy uncontrollably leaked out.

On the other side, Tai Yi, after his initial ecstasy, sank into deeper contemplation and weighing.

He clearly sensed Lu Jun's success and understood its core.

After Lu Jun's Nirvana Rebirth, his origin was no longer pure Golden Crow, but a fusion of Chaos Essence and some unknown star-creation power.

It was this transformation that gave him the ability to awaken Star Embryos and imprint his origin without loss.

But he, Tai Yi, remained a pure Great Sun Golden Crow, his origin inseparable from the Sun Star.

"My path..."
