What Was It Like to Become the Sun Star?

Cold, dark, lonely...

"Am I still alive?"

Lu Yang was filled with confusion as his consciousness searched through his memories.

Born in the countryside, he had worked hard to get into a second-tier university. After graduating, he had struggled in a big city for several years and achieved a little success. Taking advantage of a holiday, he had gone abroad for a trip, only to run into a plane accident.

His memories stopped at the moment of the crash. The passengers in the cabin had screamed in terror, while endless mountains stretched beneath the clouds.

"I survived? The rescue team found me?"

Lu Yang could not help feeling delighted. After all, who would want to die if they could live?

The next moment, Lu Yang was completely stunned.

Never mind where the hell this place was—why had his body changed?

His head was gone.

His arms and legs were gone too.

He was now just a giant fireball.

Damn it.

Turning from a person into a ball—and a burning one at that—was far too big of a leap!

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

Dumbfounded!

Disoriented!

Only after a long time did Lu Yang carefully examine his new body.

First of all, it was enormous. It would not be an exaggeration to say that hundreds of millions of miles were no more than a drop in the ocean compared to him.

Scarlet flames burned across the surface, while golden-red magma flowed beneath the crust. Most terrifying of all was the pure golden flame at the core.

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

His soul was too weak. Though it was bound to this body, he still could not control it freely.

However, he could clearly feel his soul rapidly growing stronger.

Because his body was too powerful, it had also driven the growth of his soul.

As a materialist, confirming the existence of a soul was somewhat difficult for him to accept.

As his soul grew at an astonishing pace, his spiritual awareness also continuously strengthened.

Even so, his current spiritual awareness could not cover even one hundred-millionth of his own body, much less observe his surroundings.

Yet his body seemed like an eye, allowing him to see countless scenes.

Beneath the pitch-black sky, innumerable stars moved through their paths.

Several hundred thousand miles above the Cosmic Stars was an invisible Realm Wall. Beyond it lay a gray, hazy expanse swept by terrifying storms.

Below, vast stretches of Clear Qi churned and rolled, and beneath that was the earth...

From what he could see, this world was one where Heaven was round and Earth was square.

Suddenly, Lu Yang saw a towering mountain that connected Heaven and Earth.

The Heavenly Pillar?

"Buzhou Mountain? This is the Primordial World?" Lu Yang could scarcely believe it.

When he saw that great mountain standing upon the earth and vanishing into the clouds, he vaguely sensed some information as well.

Within endless chaos, everything had been gray and indistinct, with no separation between Heaven and Earth. Then a giant had wielded an axe to carve them apart.

Creating Heaven and Earth had also been Pangu's path to proving the Dao. A path was walked step by step, but it could also be cleaved open with the giant axe in one's hand.

As chaos was divided into Clear and Turbid Qi, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind emerged.

In the end, Great God Pangu exhausted his strength and fell. His breath became wind and clouds, his voice became thunder, his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his limbs and body became the Four Poles and Five Sacred Mountains, his blood became rivers, his sinews became geographical features, his flesh became fields and soil, his hair and beard became stars, his skin and fur became vegetation, his teeth and bones became Metal and Stone, his marrow became Pearls and Jade, his sweat became Rain and Dew, and the countless insects upon his body, stirred by the wind, transformed into humankind.

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

Lu Yang was utterly stunned.

Transmigrating into the Primordial World at the Beginning of Heaven and Earth was undoubtedly an enormous stroke of fortune, but what kind of development was becoming the Sun Star?

It was not that his foundation was poor. The key question was, could he Assume Human Form?

Without the sun, the entire world would fall into chaos, all right?

It would have been fine if he had transmigrated into one of the Three Pure Ones! He could barely have accepted becoming an Ancestral Witch.

Lu Yang warmed more than half of the Primordial World, yet he himself felt cold.

What kind of mess was this?

Since he had formed from Pangu's Left Eye, the entire Primordial World lay within his sight.

He had only avoided being erased because he had arrived before the Heavenly Dao came online.

And since he had arrived before the Heavenly Dao, once it came online, he could only accept it.

There was no need to explain the Sun Star's importance to the Primordial World. Now that it had developed a soul, how could that possibly be allowed?

"By the way, just how strong is my body? Saint level? Quasi-Saint seems a little too low, doesn't it? After all, I warm more than half of the Primordial World." Lu Yang pondered this.

The entire Primordial World continued to operate.

Meanwhile, the Moon Star formed from Pangu's Right Eye also had its "job," along with countless Archaic Stars.

A day in the Primordial World felt rather long.

With nothing better to do, Lu Yang either sensed the growth of his spiritual awareness or observed the Primordial World.

The Sun Star's "vision" seemed inexhaustible.

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

Precisely because the Heavenly Dao was still evolving, comprehending it was easier. Or perhaps that privilege was limited to him alone.

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

However, although he had barely managed to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, his gains were pitifully few.

After all, he did not even possess a primordial spirit yet.

Through comprehending Heavenly Dao, Lu Yang came up with a cultivation realm system.

It was divided into three parts: Body Cultivation, primordial spirit cultivation—or soul cultivation—and Dao attainment.

From low to high, they were Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Saint, Heavenly Dao Level, Pangu Level, and Great Dao Level. (There was no need to mention anything below Human Immortal.)

Cultivation was magical power, while Dao attainment was one's realm: one's comprehension of Heavenly Dao and one's comprehension of the Great Dao.

His spiritual awareness transformed into an attribute panel.

Character: Lu Yang

Foundation: Sun Star

Body Cultivation: ???

Soul Cultivation: Not worth mentioning

Dao Attainment: Are you trying to make things difficult for me?

Overall Combat Power: Smashing a Quasi-Saint to death should be no problem. Besides, Sun True Fire burns all things, while Great Sun Golden Flame destroys Heaven and Earth.

Who knew how many Primordial Days had passed? Perhaps several hundred, perhaps several thousand. In any case, Lu Yang had been too lazy to count.

To him, as the Sun Star, time had no real meaning.

Weak living beings desperately sought immortality, yet he had become immortal the moment he transmigrated.

Heaven Immortals lived as long as Heaven and Earth and shone alongside the sun and moon. Lu Yang himself was the sun.

Oh, right. Lu Yang had also considered whether he should seize the Moon Star Origin.

The sun and moon were one body, yin and yang united. It would surely be incredible. But after careful consideration, he dismissed the idea.

Leaving aside the fact that he still could not control his body, seizing the Moon Star Origin would not be easy either.

And the Heavenly Dao was about to come online.

Even if he seized the Moon Star Origin before the Heavenly Dao came online, the Primordial World might descend into chaos because of it. Better not court death.

As for cultivating until he could Assume Human Form, he could forget about that too.

Yet he was truly bored. He did not need to eat or drink, nor did he need to sleep. As his soul kept growing, he could not even make himself fall asleep.

Every day, he could only idly watch Heaven and Earth. It was unbearably dull.

This was even more sedentary than retirement.

After thinking it over, Lu Yang came up with a plan: forge some avatars to entertain himself.

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

The Three-legged Golden Crow was originally the Sun God Bird.

But he would have to wait until his soul became a primordial spirit.

And he would also need to give his avatars better foundations.

The current Primordial World was not safe, and neither would the future be. Without sufficient strength, one would merely be a joke.

Besides, the Sun God Bird could not be too lowly, could it?

Because his body was too powerful, the soul bound to it was still growing. Only after that growth stopped could it advance to becoming a primordial spirit.

There was no rushing it. After all, he did not even have a cultivation technique right now.

One Primordial Day after another passed.

The Heavenly Dao was about to come online!
