Cold, dark, lonely...

"Am I still alive?"

Lu Yang was filled with confusion, his consciousness struggling to recall the past.

Born in a rural area, he had worked hard to get into a second-tier university. After graduation, he had spent years grinding in a big city and had achieved a modest level of success. He had taken a trip abroad during the holidays, only to unfortunately run into a plane crash.

His memory stopped at that moment during the descent: the passengers inside the cabin screaming in terror, and beneath the clouds, the rolling, endless mountains.

"Did I survive? Did the rescue team find me?"

This thought brought a flicker of joy to Lu Yang; after all, who wants to die if they can live?

The next moment, Lu Yang froze completely.

Never mind what kind of hellish place this was—why had his body changed?

His head was gone.

His hands and feet were gone, too.

He was now nothing more than a giant fireball.

Damn it.

Going from a human to a ball, and a burning one at that—this was quite the leap!

For a moment, Lu Yang truly could not accept it.

Stunned!

In shambles!

After a long while, Lu Yang finally began to carefully study his new body.

First of all, it was massive. It was no exaggeration to say that if you placed billions upon billions of miles onto it, it would be but a single grain of sand in the vast ocean.

The surface burned with crimson flames, while beneath the crust flowed golden-red magma. The most terrifying part, however, was the pure golden flame at the core.

This body was too powerful, so powerful that it exceeded Lu Yang's comprehension.

His soul was too weak; although it was bound to this body, he could not yet control it with ease.

However, he could clearly feel his soul growing rapidly.

Because the body was overly powerful, it drove the growth of his soul.

For a materialist, confirming the existence of a soul was something he found hard to swallow.

Along with the rapid growth of his soul, his spiritual sense was also constantly strengthening.

However, his current spiritual sense could not even cover one-billionth of his own body, let alone observe his surroundings.

But his body was like an eye, capable of seeing many sights.

Under the pitch-black canopy of the sky, countless stars were in motion.

Hundreds of thousands of miles above the Cosmic Stars lay an invisible realm wall, and beyond the realm was a gray expanse where terrifying storms raged.

Below, vast swathes of clear qi surged, and further down was the earth...

Observing the world, he saw that Heaven is round and Earth is square.

Suddenly, Lu Yang saw a towering mountain that connected heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Pillar?

"Buzhou Mountain? Is this the Primordial World?" Lu Yang could not believe it.

As he gazed at that mountain standing upon the earth and disappearing into the clouds, he felt some information manifesting in his mind.

In the endless chaos, everything was a gray blur without the distinction of heaven and earth, until a giant held an axe to carve out the world.

The creation of the world was the path of Great God Pangu's enlightenment; the path was walked, and it was also hewn out by the giant axe in his hands.

As the chaos was divided into clear and turbid qi, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind emerged.

In the end, Great God Pangu collapsed from exhaustion. His breath became the wind and clouds, his voice the thunder, his left eye the Sun, his right eye the Moon, his limbs and trunk the Four Poles and Five Sacred Mountains, his blood the rivers, his veins the geography, his muscles the fields and soil, his hair and beard the stars, his skin and fur the plants and trees, his teeth and bones the metal and stone, his marrow the pearls and jade, and his sweat the rain and dew. The insects on his body, moved by the wind, transformed into the common people.

"So I am... the Sun Star formed from Pangu's Left Eye?"

Lu Yang was dumbfounded.

Transmigrating to the Primordial World at the beginning of heaven and earth was a stroke of immense fortune, but what kind of development was it to become the Sun Star?

It wasn't that his origin was poor, but could he even assume human form?

If the sun were gone, the whole world would fall into chaos, wouldn't it?

He would have preferred to transmigrate as one of the Three Pure Ones! Even becoming an Ancestral Witch would have been barely acceptable.

He, Lu Yang, warmed most of the Primordial World, yet he felt cold himself.

What kind of situation was this!

Being the manifestation of Pangu's left eye, he could see the entire Primordial World beneath his gaze.

It was fortunate he arrived before the Heavenly Dao went online, otherwise he surely would have been erased.

And since he arrived before the Heavenly Dao, he would simply have to accept it once it went online.

The importance of the Sun Star to the Primordial World went without saying; now that it had a soul, this was no small matter.

"By the way, just how strong is my current body? Saint level? Quasi-Saint seems a bit of an understatement! After all, I am the one who warmed most of the Primordial World," Lu Yang pondered.

The entire Primordial World was in operation.

Additionally, the Moon Star, formed from Pangu's right eye, had its own 'work' to do, along with the countless Archaic Stars.

A day in the Primordial World felt quite long.

Bored, Lu Yang spent his time observing the Primordial World in addition to sensing the strengthening of his spiritual sense.

The 'pupil power' of the Sun Star seemed to be endless.

After a few Primordial Days, Lu Yang began to comprehend Heavenly Dao.

Precisely because the Heavenly Dao was still evolving, comprehending it was actually easier—or perhaps that was limited to him alone.

As the Sun Star, he was an important part of the Primordial World.

However, although he barely managed to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, the harvest was meager.

After all, he didn't even have a Primordial Spirit yet.

Through comprehending the Heavenly Dao, Lu Yang sorted out the levels of cultivation.

It was divided into three parts: body cultivation, Primordial Spirit (soul) cultivation, and Dao practice.

From low to high, they were Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Saint, Heavenly Dao Level, Pangu Level, and Great Dao Level. (It's not worth mentioning anything below Human Immortal.)

Cultivation was magic power, while Dao practice was the realm—the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao.

His spiritual sense manifested into an attribute panel.

Character: Lu Yang

Origin: Sun Star

Body Cultivation: ???

Soul Cultivation: Not worth mentioning

Dao Practice: I fear it is mocking me

Comprehensive Combat Power: Smashing a Quasi-Saint should be effortless; furthermore, the Sun True Fire burns everything, and the Great Sun Golden Flame can destroy heaven and earth.

He didn't know how many Primordial Days had passed—perhaps hundreds, perhaps thousands; in any case, Lu Yang was too lazy to count.

For him, as the Sun Star, time had no meaning.

Weak creatures desperately sought immortality, but he had become immortal the moment he transmigrated.

A Heaven Immortal lived as long as heaven and earth, shining with the sun and moon; he, Lu Yang, was the sun.

By the way, Lu Yang had considered whether he should plunder the Moon Star Origin.

Sun and Moon as one, Yin and Yang combined—that would certainly be exciting, but after thinking about it seriously, he dismissed the idea.

Not to mention that he couldn't even control his body yet, plundering the Moon Star Origin wouldn't be easy.

And the Heavenly Dao was about to go online.

Even if he managed to plunder the Moon Star's origin before the Heavenly Dao went online, the Primordial World might fall into chaos because of it; it was better not to court death.

As for cultivating to assume human form, he could forget about that too.

But he was truly bored now. He didn't need to eat or drink, nor did he need to sleep. As his soul continued to grow, he couldn't even force himself to fall into a deep sleep.

Looking at the sky and earth every day was just dull and tedious.

It was even more like retirement than retirement itself.

After much thought, Lu Yang made a plan: to forge some avatars to find some amusement.

Thinking of forging avatars, the first thing that came to mind was the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The Three-legged Golden Crow was, after all, the Sun God Bird.

But he would have to wait until his soul became a Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, he needed to ensure the avatars had a good origin.

The current Primordial World was not safe, and it wouldn't be in the future either; without some strength, one was just a joke.

Besides, the Sun God Bird couldn't be too cheap, could it?

Because his body was too strong, the soul bound to it was still growing. Only when that growth stopped would the next step be the Primordial Spirit.

He couldn't rush it; after all, there were no cultivation techniques or anything of the sort.

One Primordial Day after another passed.

The Heavenly Dao was about to go online!
