In the Ziwei Star Domain, Ying Hao descended upon the Sun God Cult, sitting cross-legged in the void and expounding the Great Dao.
As the Great Emperor expounded the Great Dao and elucidated the profound principles of heaven and earth, auspicious phenomena emerged one after another, and the mysterious Daoist sounds echoed throughout the cosmos.
Everyone listened with rapt attention, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, comprehending many profound truths of cultivation.
The elders of the Sun God Cult were filled with emotion. They had originally planned to emerge and fight to the death.
Who would have thought that before they could emerge, Ying Hao had already broken through the shackles of heaven and earth and forcibly attained the Dao?
Slaying the Underworld Supreme and the Source God could be considered revenge, washing away the shame of their lineage.
The Sun Human Emperor has a successor!
Two peerless powerhouses emerging from the same lineage was an unprecedented grand occasion throughout history, destined to be recorded in the annals of time.
The era that followed would belong to Ying Hao, and the Sun God Cult would be able to regain its former glory because of him.
Ying Hao was someone they had watched grow up. To see him achieve such greatness, they could die with no regrets!
Ying Hao's sermon lasted for a full seven days. Powerhouses from all corners of the universe had already arrived and began to pay homage.
"This time, I didn't trigger a system quest!"
Ying Hao mused to himself. His forceful attainment of the Dao and his slaying of a Supreme Being was a world-shattering event.
If it were any other system, he would have definitely achieved many feats and received substantial system rewards.
But before this, the system had shown no reaction, as if it simply didn't exist.
He speculated that this might be related to the system's belief that the world of Zhetian was akin to the Great Desolation.
The Golden Crow was powerful in the Great Desolation world, so he could trigger system quests upon encountering them.
However, beings like those from the Forbidden Zone or Supreme Beings like the Source God simply didn't exist in the Great Desolation world, so naturally, no system quests could be triggered.
Thinking this way, if he wanted to trigger system quests, he would need to find something similar to the Great Desolation world within the Zhetian world?
However, before that, he still had one important matter to attend to.
With a single step, he had already left the Ziwei Star Domain. His divine sense swept across the void, and he quickly located his target.
It was a Death Ancient Star, mostly barren, but in some places, Five-Colored Ancient Trees grew.
He soon arrived at a giant mountain and saw an old man meticulously stacking Five-Colored Crystal Stones to form a Five-Colored Altar.
Ying Hao took a deep breath, approached the old man, and said solemnly in a clear voice:
"Junior Ying Hao greets Ancestor's return to his homeland!"
On this Death Ancient Star was buried his ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor!
Back then, the Sun Human Emperor had suffered an accident on his path to immortality, leaving behind only a skin, and thus became a wanderer.
As a descendant of the Sun Human Emperor, it was his inescapable responsibility to help his ancestor return to his homeland.
"Return to the homeland, not to die in a foreign land..."
A voice like a curse echoed. The old man seemed to sense something, and his gaze gradually focused on Ying Hao.
Ying Hao sighed inwardly. Divine Thoughts were a terrifying existence, the embodiment of the negative aspects of an Ancient Emperor's life.
The more benevolent a person was in life, the more malevolent their Divine Thought would be, like a devil.
The old man before him was the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought, but it was different from other Divine Thoughts.
The Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought had been continuously constructing the Five-Colored Altar on this Death Ancient Star. The desire for the Sun Human Emperor to return home had become an obsession.
Even after millions of years, this obsession would not dissipate!
Ying Hao raised his hand and pointed. The old man's body trembled, and ripples emanated from him, transforming into dark light that surrounded him like a black sun.
The black halo enveloped his body, filled with a demonic power, fully revealing the terror of a Divine Thought.
Divine light cascaded from Ying Hao's body, enveloping the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought.
He was using his own power to baptize the Divine Thought, gradually illuminating it.
The black halo gradually dissipated, and a golden halo began to circle the Divine Thought's exterior.
The Divine Thought's aura changed drastically, completely different from before, now carrying a trace of the Sun Human Emperor's essence.
The peerless demeanor of the Sun Human Emperor, who had suppressed three thousand realms and traversed eternity, had returned at this moment!
This aura was too vast for ordinary people to bear; only powerhouses of Ying Hao's caliber could face it calmly.
With the malevolence dispelled, the Divine Thought's gaze cleared. Looking at Ying Hao, its eyes were filled with emotion.
"I never expected the Human Emperor to have such a remarkably talented descendant like you!"
Throughout history, there had never been an example of an Ancient Emperor's descendant achieving the Dao; it was like a curse.
A descendant of the Sun Human Emperor had broken this curse and defied heaven to attain the Dao. One could imagine how astonishingly talented the person before him was.
"Junior greets Ancestor!"
Ying Hao bowed respectfully. He had actually known for a long time that his ancestor's remains were in a foreign land, but he had only come to this ancient star after proving his Dao and becoming an Emperor.
When his cultivation was not high, he had no ability to reach this Death Ancient Star.
After he gradually became a powerhouse, he was targeted by the Underworld Supreme, leaving him no chance to come to this Death Ancient Star.
It wasn't until he attained the Emperor's Dao and feared no enemy in the world that he could help his ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor, return home.
"I am not the Sun Sacred Emperor; I am merely a wisp of his malevolent thought, less than one ten-thousandth of him..."
He had strived for so long, yet couldn't even manage to bring the Sun Human Emperor back home.
Fortunately, this person arrived. The Sun Human Emperor could finally return home, and his mission was considered complete.
The Divine Thought extended a massive hand, and the earth instantly split apart. At the core of this ancient star, a sealed stone coffin appeared.
The Divine Thought, with near reverence, lifted the ancient coffin, stepped onto the altar, and placed it before Ying Hao.
The coffin of his ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor!
Ying Hao solemnly accepted the coffin. Golden light erupted from his feet, and with the Divine Thought, he descended upon the Ziwei Star Domain.
Standing above the North Sea, Ying Hao raised a hand and pointed, revealing Tanggu Valley, the Sun Sacred Emperor's former residence.
The Immortal Medicine, the Fusang Ancient Tree, stood tall in Tanggu Valley, divine radiance swirling around it, swaying gently like a sky full of falling stars.
"The Human Emperor has finally returned home!"
The Divine Thought's eyes welled up with tears. The wish of centuries was finally fulfilled at this moment!
As an Ancient Emperor of the human race, the Sun Human Emperor had made immense contributions to humanity, yet after his death, he could only be buried far from home.
Now, the Human Emperor had finally returned to his homeland. His mission was complete, and he could die without regret!
Ying Hao approached the Fusang Ancient Tree, placed the coffin on the ground, and slowly opened it, gazing inside.
"Rumble!"
The aura of an Ancient Emperor surged to the heavens. The entire ocean churned with colossal waves, and the entire Ziwei Star Domain trembled.
Just as Ying Hao had predicted, the coffin contained no body of the Sun Sacred Emperor, only a piece of human skin.
Stained with a few drops of blood, it looked as if it had been peeled off not long ago, emitting a golden light that was as dazzling as the sun.
Was this the price to pay for transforming into an immortal?
To become an immortal, besides the path to immortality, one could only live against the flow of time, life after life, within the mortal world.
The ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor, had fallen on the path of transforming into an immortal. What would his future hold?
No! Death was not the end; the Sun Human Emperor still had a future!
