"Another boring day."

Becoming the Sun Star of the Primordial World was truly unbearably boring.

To some ignorant creatures on the great earth, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, emerging from Tang Valley and disappearing into Yuyuan Abyss. Lu Yang had the right to speak on this.

The Golden Crow rose in the east, but the sun had always been there.

It was just that the sun could only warm most of the Primordial World.

And the Primordial World was in motion at every moment, so the area illuminated by the sun kept changing.

In a sense, the sun was the center of this world!

What? Buzhou Mountain was the center of the Primordial World? The truth was otherwise.

'Beyond the Northwestern Sea, at the corner of the Primordial Era, stood a mountain that did not meet, named Buzhou.'

Who knew how many Primordial World distance units northwest of Kunlun Mountain, the towering Heavenly Pillar stood erect.

To be honest, if Buzhou Mountain had been located at the center of the world, the Primordial World would definitely have been more stable. (Pangu: So I fell in the wrong place! 一︿一)

Dense Innate Spiritual Qi also descended from the Sky Dome.

The Realm Wall not only blocked the invasion of chaos, but also absorbed Chaos Qi and transformed it into Innate Spiritual Qi.

Beneath the great earth and Four Seas of the Primordial World lay countless Spiritual Veins of varying sizes, which also generated vast amounts of Innate Spiritual Qi.

Nourished by spiritual qi, all things sprouted, and life flourished everywhere.

Yet those with good foundations were still being nurtured, while those with poor foundations had already spread across the land.

Innate Pure Qi was still evolving the Heavenly Realm, while the Cosmic Stars returned to their respective positions.

Suddenly, Lu Yang's spiritual sense trembled. He had sensed that Heavenly Dao had come online.

Observe the Way of Heaven, wield the action of Heaven, and all was complete! Of course, this only applied within the Primordial World.

What exactly was Heavenly Dao? Lu Yang could not explain it clearly. In any case, it was closely connected to the Primordial Origin, and all the laws of the Primordial World existed within Heavenly Dao.

As far as Lu Yang knew, Heavenly Dao had no thoughts. It was rules. It was not limited to order; chaos was also part of it. Comparing it to computer programs and mathematical formulas was one-sided, but it conveyed roughly the same idea.

There was no need to say much about following Heaven. Defying Heaven was merely seeking a breakthrough.

Lu Yang's current understanding of Heavenly Dao was still quite shallow.

But with Heavenly Dao coming online, Merit and Karmic Power also appeared.

Simply put, contributing to the Primordial World earned Merit, while harming it brought Karmic Power.

It was not as though inventing something would earn a huge wave of Merit. Otherwise, would inventors not be winning too easily?

Nor was it true that killing a few creatures would leave one entangled in Karmic Power. The strong devouring the weak was simply a natural law.

Therefore, Heavenly Dao's good and evil were judged according to the Primordial World.

Contributing to the development of the Primordial World was good; the opposite was evil.

Of course, killing someone with Merit would definitely leave one entangled in Karmic Power.

The Primordial Great Earth was now home to countless races, not to mention the Water Tribe within the Four Seas.

Every Primordial Day, innumerable creatures were born, and innumerable creatures died.

Sometimes, an entire race was even wiped out.

There might not be much Karmic Power, but cause and effect certainly kept growing.

The Sun Star benefited the Primordial Era. This was Great Merit, and no one could dispute it.

Now that Heavenly Dao had come online, it should reward Lu Yang with Merit every day.

At this moment, Lu Yang felt a sudden inspiration.

There were two ways for Heavenly Dao to reward Merit. One was for golden light to descend from the heavens, while the other was for it to appear directly.

After some consideration, Lu Yang still decided to keep a low profile.

He also did not want anyone to discover the secret of him, the Sun Star.

Once word spread that the Sun Star was a living being, the entire Primordial World would probably fall into panic.

After Lu Yang chose the second method, Great Merit appeared out of thin air within his soul.

Since the Sun Star had appeared, it had illuminated the Primordial World every day. By now, the Merit it had accumulated was truly enormous.

"I wonder whether it's enough to refine a Supreme Merit Treasure." Lu Yang pondered.

Speaking of which, Pangu's Creation was the greatest Merit.

Pangu's Primordial Spirit split into three, born from Innate Pure Qi. They were Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, and each had likely received ten percent of the Merit of Pangu's Creation.

Pangu's twelve drops of essence blood were born from Innate Turbid Qi and transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Together, they had also received no small amount of the Merit of Pangu's Creation.

As for the giant axe Pangu used during his Creation, it split into three and became three Innate Supreme Treasures, each receiving the Merit of Pangu's Creation as well.

The remaining Merit of Pangu's Creation mixed with Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi and evolved into an Exquisite Pagoda.

Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi was good stuff. Only the creation of heaven and earth could produce a mass of it.

The larger the world created, the greater and purer the mass of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi that appeared.

"Magic treasures are merely external objects. Using Merit to refine magic treasures would be too wasteful. Should I use it to improve my cultivation?" Lu Yang considered.

But Merit also had a drawback: it could offset Karmic Power.

Furthermore, a world's Merit could only be used within that world.

In other words, if he used Merit to improve his cultivation, leaving the Primordial World would not necessarily cause him to lose all his cultivation, but it would definitely affect him.

One Primordial Day after another passed.

Before he knew it, Heavenly Dao had been online for several hundred Primordial Days.

Every day, Lu Yang did nothing but boredly count his Merit.

Days spent counting Merit were just that dry and dull.

"I'm probably the most miserable transmigrator ever." Lu Yang smiled bitterly.

He neither ate nor drank, and he could not sleep. Every day, he either watched the Primordial World or used his spiritual sense to manipulate the flames on his body for amusement. Most of his time, however, was spent counting Merit.

He had naturally achieved some results in cultivation techniques and divine abilities as well.

Unfortunately, his own mana was so terrifying that even he feared losing control of it.

Still, mana was quite miraculous.

Using mana, one could accomplish many unbelievable things.

Oh right, Lu Yang had established a unit of measurement for Merit.

If the power of Merit could cover the Sun Star, it was one Wu of Merit.

At present, he only had a little over three Wu of Merit.

He wondered how many Wu of Merit Pangu's Creation had earned.

Another mass of Merit descended. After counting it, Lu Yang shifted his attention to a certain place on his body.

There were treasures on the Sun Star as well.

The Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Book, and the Innate Spiritual Root Fusang Tree were all on the Sun Star.

Tang Valley by the Eastern Sea in the lower realm was still bare.

As for Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, they did not even have eggs yet.

Lu Yang's spiritual sense could now cover his body.

The growth of his soul had also nearly stagnated.

Generally speaking, however large one's body was, one's soul would be just as large. Lu Yang was no exception.

One could imagine just how enormous Lu Yang's soul now was. It was absolutely not much smaller than the Sun Star.

Although he had yet to condense a primordial spirit, his soul already possessed mana.

His soul's cultivation could be said to be at the Heavenly Immortal level. Once he condensed a primordial spirit, breaking through to the True Immortal level would be effortless, and he might even enter the Mystic Immortal level.

The path of cultivation stretched endlessly ahead.

Some beings focused on the body, becoming body cultivators.

Others focused on the primordial spirit.

Naturally, there were also many who cultivated both body and primordial spirit.

Some single-mindedly comprehended Heavenly Dao. Their Dao progress advanced while their mana remained weak, but once they achieved enlightenment, the Dao contained ten thousand methods, and methods contained ten thousand arts. They, too, possessed vast divine abilities.

As for the strength of one's combat power, many factors had to be considered: one's foundation, divine abilities and spells, magic treasures, and even luck.

Lu Yang also conveyed some of his classifications to Heavenly Dao. This way, some beings in the Primordial World would surely be able to perceive them.

Such as the cultivation realm classifications Lu Yang had created.

Perhaps some beings would approve of them, while others certainly would not.

After all, the term "immortal" was not mainstream in the current Primordial World. It was considered an unorthodox path.

If a Grand Unity Golden Immortal appeared, Grand Unity would gain broad recognition, and golden would as well—but what was immortal?

Demon Clan: A Grand Unity Golden Demon could be considered.

Dragon Clan: A Grand Unity Golden Dragon could be considered.
