In the Ziwei Star Domain, Ying Hao descended upon the Sun God Cult and sat cross-legged in the void, expounding the Great Dao.
When an Emperor expounded the Great Dao and explained the principles of heaven and earth, wondrous phenomena appeared everywhere, while profound Dao sounds echoed throughout the world.
Everyone listened in a daze, as if receiving enlightenment, comprehending many profound principles of cultivation.
The elders of the Sun God Cult were filled with emotion. They had originally been prepared to emerge from seclusion and fight to the death.
Who would have thought that before they could emerge, Ying Hao would already break through the shackles of heaven and earth and forcibly attain the Dao?
By killing the Underworld Supreme, Source God, he had avenged them and cleansed their lineage of its humiliation.
The Sun Human Emperor had successors!
Two peerless powerhouses had emerged from the same lineage. Such a grand occasion had never occurred throughout the ages, and it was destined to be recorded in history.
The era that followed would belong to Ying Hao, and the Sun God Cult could use this opportunity to restore its former glory.
They had watched Ying Hao grow up. Seeing his achievements today, they could die without regret!
Ying Hao's lecture lasted a full seven days. Experts from all over the universe had already arrived and begun paying their respects.
"This time, it actually didn't trigger a system mission!"
Ying Hao pondered in secret. He had forcibly attained the Dao and killed a Supreme—this was an event that had shocked the entire world.
With any other system, he would definitely have accomplished quite a few achievements and obtained a wealth of system rewards.
Yet before this, the system had shown no reaction at all, as if it did not exist.
He guessed that this might be related to the system considering the Shrouding the Heavens world to be the Great Desolation.
Golden Crows were extremely powerful in the Great Desolation World, so he had been able to trigger a system mission after encountering one.
Whether it was the Forbidden Zone or a Supreme like Source God, they did not exist at all in the Great Desolation World, so they naturally could not trigger system missions.
Thinking about it this way, if he wanted to trigger system missions, would he have to find something in the Shrouding the Heavens world similar to something in the Great Desolation World?
However, before that, he still had one important thing to do.
With one step, he left the Ziwei Star Domain. His divine sense swept across the void, and he soon discovered his target.
It was a Death Ancient Star. Most of it was barren, with not a blade of grass growing, but Five-Colored Ancient Trees grew in some places.
He soon arrived at a giant mountain and saw an old man piling Five-Colored Crystal Stones into a Five-Colored Altar.
Ying Hao took a deep breath, walked to the old man, and said solemnly in a clear voice:
"Junior Ying Hao respectfully welcomes our ancestor back to his homeland!"
His ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor, was buried on this Death Ancient Star!
Back then, the Sun Human Emperor had met with an accident on the path to immortality, leaving behind only a sheet of Human Skin and drifting into a foreign land.
He was a descendant of the Sun Human Emperor. Bringing the Sun Human Emperor back to his homeland was a responsibility he could not shirk.
"Return to our homeland. One cannot be buried in a foreign land..."
A voice that sounded like a curse rang out. The old man seemed to sense something, and his gaze gradually focused on Ying Hao.
Ying Hao sighed inwardly. A Divine Thought was an extremely terrifying existence, embodying the evil aspect of an ancient emperor from his lifetime.
The more benevolent one had been in life, the more vicious their Divine Thought would be, resembling a demon.
The old man before him was the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor, but it differed from other Divine Thoughts.
The Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought had been constructing a Five-Colored Altar on this Death Ancient Star all along. Bringing the Sun Human Emperor back to his homeland had become an obsession.
Even after millions upon millions of years, that obsession would not fade!
Ying Hao raised a hand and pointed. The old man's body trembled, and ripples spread across him. He transformed into black light, surrounding himself like a black sun.
A black halo enveloped his body, filled with a demonic power. The terrifying nature of the Divine Thought was revealed completely at this moment.
A divine radiance poured from Ying Hao's body and enveloped the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor.
He was using his own power to baptize the Divine Thought, gradually illuminating it.
The black halo slowly dispersed, replaced by a golden halo swirling around the Divine Thought.
The aura of the Divine Thought changed drastically, completely different from before. It now carried a trace of the Sun Human Emperor's aura.
The peerless bearing of the Sun Human Emperor, who had suppressed the three thousand realms and severed the ages, returned at this moment!
This aura was too vast for ordinary people to withstand. Only a powerhouse at Ying Hao's level could face it calmly.
The evil thoughts dispersed, and the Divine Thought's gaze gradually cleared. He looked at Ying Hao, his eyes filled with emotion.
"I never thought the Human Emperor would have such an astonishing and extraordinary descendant!"
Throughout the ages, there had never been an example of an ancient emperor's descendant attaining the Dao. It was as if this were a curse.
A descendant of the Sun Human Emperor had broken that curse and attained the Dao against heaven. One could imagine how astonishing the person before him was.
"Junior pays respects to our ancestor!"
Ying Hao bowed. He had known long ago that his ancestor was buried in a foreign land, but he had only come to this ancient star after proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor.
When his cultivation had been weak, he simply had no ability to reach this Death Ancient Star.
After he gradually became powerful, he was targeted by the Underworld Supreme and had no opportunity to come to this Death Ancient Star.
Only after he proved the Dao and became an Emperor, fearing no enemy beneath the heavens, could he help his ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor, return to his homeland.
"I am not the Sun Sacred Emperor. I am merely a wisp of his evil thought, less than one ten-thousandth of him..."
He had worked for so long, yet had not even been able to bring the Sun Human Emperor back to his homeland.
Fortunately, this person had arrived. The Sun Human Emperor could finally return to his homeland, and his mission could be considered complete.
The Divine Thought extended a large hand. The earth split apart in an instant, and a sealed stone coffin emerged from the depths of this ancient star.
With near-reverence, the Divine Thought lifted the ancient coffin, climbed 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 surged beneath his feet, and he descended upon the Ziwei Star Domain with the Divine Thought.
Standing above the Northern Sea, Ying Hao raised a hand and pointed. Tanggu Valley, the residence of the Sun Sacred Emperor during his lifetime, appeared.
The Immortal Medicine, Fusang Ancient Tree, stood in Tanggu Valley, wreathed in divine radiance and swaying gently, as if stars were falling from the heavens.
"The Human Emperor has finally returned to his homeland!"
Tears blurred the Divine Thought's eyes. His wish of countless years had finally been fulfilled at this moment!
As an ancient emperor of the Human Race, the Sun Human Emperor had made tremendous contributions to the Human Race, yet after his death, he could only be buried in a foreign land.
Now, the Human Emperor had finally returned to his homeland. His mission was complete, and he could die without regret!
Ying Hao arrived before the Fusang Ancient Tree, placed the coffin on the ground, and slowly pushed it open, peering inside.
"Rumble!"
The ancient emperor's aura shot into the sky. The entire ocean surged with waves soaring ten thousand feet high, and the whole Ziwei Star Domain trembled.
Just as Ying Hao had expected, there was no corpse of the Sun Sacred Emperor inside the coffin. There was only a sheet of Human Skin.
A few drops of blood stained it. It looked as if it had only recently been shed, radiating golden light and dazzling like a sun.
Was this the price that had to be paid to transform into an immortal?
To become an immortal, aside from the Immortal Ascension Path, one could only repeatedly live another Lifetime amid the mortal world.
His ancestor, the Sun Human Emperor, had fallen on the path of transforming into an immortal. What would become of him in the future?
No! Death was not the end. The Sun Human Emperor still had a future!
