In the Ziwei Star Domain, winds and clouds surged in the Northern Sea. With the reappearance of Tanggu Valley in the mortal world, countless people turned their attention to it.
However, no one dared to approach Tanggu Valley, as its vast and boundless aura made everyone hesitate.
"It's Haotian the Great Emperor. He found Tanggu Valley. What is he doing?"
"There were rumors that Haotian the Great Emperor is a descendant of the Sun Human Emperor. It seems the rumors are true!"
"This is incredible! A descendant of an Ancient Emperor, forcefully achieving the Dao, and truly terrifyingly strong. No wonder he dared to change his imperial title!"
The Northern Sea trembled. The Fusang Ancient Tree shone brilliantly. That was an Immortal Medicine, enough to drive the world into a frenzy.
But Haotian the Great Emperor had just killed a Supreme Being. Who would dare to approach Tanggu Valley at this time, unless they had a death wish?
Ying Hao looked at the Human Skin in the coffin, his face etched with contemplation, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.
With a decision made in his heart, he no longer hesitated. Even if the hope was slim, he had to try.
"I wish for my Ancestor to reappear in the world. I ask for your assistance, senior!" Ying Hao said solemnly.
The Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor's body was fading, a sign of impending dissolution.
It was clear that the Sun Human Emperor had returned to his homeland, his obsessions gone. The Divine Thought naturally had no reason to exist any longer.
He had attained enlightenment here, would be buried here, his fate intertwined with its beginning and end. His mission was complete.
"To make the Human Emperor reappear in the world?"
The Divine Thought, which was dissolving, was slightly taken aback. Brilliant light erupted in its eyes, and its body stopped fading.
The Sun Human Emperor was dead, how could he reappear in the world?
But what if?
He was the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor. If he could truly help the Human Emperor reappear, why would he dissolve now?
"I wish to use the power of faith to sculpt a golden body for my Ancestor, to make my Ancestor reappear in the world. But this requires your assistance, senior!"
In pursuit of immortality, countless powerful individuals throughout history had tried various methods, and the power of faith was one of them.
On this path, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had gone very far, but if one were to speak of who reached the pinnacle, it would likely be Amitabha the Great Emperor of later generations.
Although he himself had passed away, his faith-body had endured since ancient times, and when the path to immortality opened, he could still lead his followers in a desperate struggle.
He intended to emulate Amitabha the Great Emperor, gather the power of faith, and hope that the Sun Human Emperor would one day reappear in the world.
This was difficult, the hope was extremely slim, but as long as there was a sliver of hope, it was worth trying.
Even if he failed in the end, by the time he became an Immortal Emperor, he could still illuminate the heavens and resurrect his Ancestor.
"Good! I will assist you!"
The light in the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought's eyes grew brighter, without the slightest doubt.
After all, the person before him was not only a descendant of the Sun Human Emperor but also an invincible powerhouse in the world.
Ying Hao nodded. He personally erected a temple in Tanggu Valley and then presided over the investiture ceremony.
"Today, I establish the Sun God Cult to worship my Ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor!"
Ying Hao, in the name of the current Great Emperor, personally conferred divinity. Majestic Daoist pronouncements spread throughout the universe, shaking the sea of stars.
With a wave of his hand, the blood-stained Human Skin in the stone coffin swelled and transformed into a figure.
His imposing presence was awe-inspiring, his hair scattered, his divine might unparalleled. The Sun Sacred Emperor reappeared in the world, reigning supreme.
Unfortunately, there was a mournful emptiness in the Sun Human Emperor's eyes, devoid of spirit and light.
Only his form remained, but not his spirit!
In the end, this was merely the Human Skin of the Sun Human Emperor!
The Sun Human Emperor had made outstanding contributions to humanity, his achievements spanning eternity. In the Primordial Era, he had upheld a sky for humankind.
Even if only a piece of Human Skin remained, it would still protect humanity in later generations!
How could such a peerless Human Emperor fade away in obscurity?
"Investiture!"
Ying Hao's expression was solemn. He was a Great Emperor and a descendant of the Sun Human Emperor. No one was more suitable than him to confer divinity.
With a roar, the Sun Human Emperor's Human Skin fell into the Sun God Temple, radiating billions of rays of light.
Then, he condensed his Great Emperor's divine sense within the Sun God Temple, causing it to shine with golden light.
The Sun Human Emperor's Human Skin gradually transformed, slowly becoming a golden body, exuding a sacred aura.
Subsequently, the Sun God Cult jointly worshipped, and countless divine senses were drawn into the Sun God Temple, condensing onto the golden body.
"Rumble!"
Lightning struck from the heavens and earth, dark clouds gathering. This was an attempt to stop Ying Hao's heaven-defying act.
The current Great Emperor was performing an investiture, sculpting a golden body for the Sun Human Emperor, and there was a real possibility of success.
Ying Hao looked up at the sky, two great suns floating in his eyes. The lightning tribulation instantly collapsed, and the heavenly punishment ceased to exist.
This was the peerless power of a Great Emperor. Almost nothing in the world could stop him.
Next, he looked at the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor; only the final step remained.
The Divine Thought smiled faintly. Within the Sun God Temple before him, he truly saw hope for the Sun Human Emperor's return to the mortal world.
Nodding towards Ying Hao, the Divine Thought's face was filled with emotion and awe. Then, he walked step by step into the Sun God Temple.
The Divine Thought merged into the golden body of the Sun Human Emperor. In an instant, the supreme ancient emperor's might swept through the nine heavens and ten earths, shaking the universe.
The Sun Stone Pagoda vibrated. This was the Sun Human Emperor's ancient emperor weapon, and at this moment, it unleashed billions of immortal rays that danced, illuminating eternity.
The Sun Stone Pagoda flew up and landed in the hand of the Sun Human Emperor's golden body. Brilliant immortal rays instantly enveloped the entire Sun God Temple.
From afar, the Sun God Temple appeared grand and magnificent, standing in Tanggu Valley, with the Immortal Medicine and Fusang Ancient Tree accompanying it, scattering endless divine radiance.
When the Investiture of the Gods ceremony concluded, auspicious light shone everywhere, and colorful clouds filled the sky. A towering figure stood within the Sun God Temple.
It was done!
The Sun Human Emperor seemed to have been resurrected, radiating a sacred aura that made people want to prostrate themselves in worship.
The Ziwei Star Domain trembled. Countless powerful beings rushed to Tanggu Valley and, upon seeing the brilliantly radiant Sun God Temple, were all dumbfounded.
Subsequently, extraterrestrial powerhouses arrived in the Ziwei Star Domain, all heading to the Sun God Temple to pay their respects immediately.
"The power of faith is truly mysterious!" Ying Hao murmured to himself.
As many powerful beings offered their worship, he could feel a mysterious force gathering within the Sun God Temple.
This was the power of faith, originating from all living beings, profound and mysterious, filled with endless secrets.
He had no intention of pursuing the path of faith, but seizing this opportunity to study it would be immensely beneficial.
To transform into an immortal amidst the mortal world, one could only find a path suitable for oneself through continuous experimentation.
As more and more powerful beings offered their worship, the Sun God Temple shone ever brighter, and the Sun Human Emperor's golden body appeared as if resurrected.
"Haotian the Great Emperor is truly a divine being! To be able to perform such heaven-defying techniques!"
"The Sun Human Emperor seems resurrected; can he truly return to the world?"
"Impossible! Even an emperor as powerful as one cannot reverse life and death. That is at most a golden body!"
Anyone who had visited the Sun God Temple marveled at Haotian the Great Emperor's astonishing techniques; it was simply unimaginable.
The resurrected Sun Human Emperor truly resembled an ancient emperor seated in the temple, looking down upon the mortal world.
Countless powerful beings in the universe sighed, thinking how truly heaven-defying this Haotian the Great Emperor was!
A descendant of an ancient emperor, forcefully achieving the Dao, killing a supreme being immediately after, so powerful it sent shivers down one's spine – a rare feat throughout history!
On the other side, Ying Hao was lost in thought, contemplating the path he should take next.
Attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor was only the beginning. He was unwilling to end his life in a single era. His only path was to transform into an immortal amidst the mortal world.
"I hope my guess is correct!"
