Traveling to the Primordial Wilderness, Staying Home and Playing It Safe (Crowdsourcing Ideas for the Novel!)
It was said that countless epochs had passed in the Primordial World since the Dragon-Phoenix Cataclysm.
The Primordial Beings, who had once suffered grievous casualties, had also been given time to recuperate and regain their vitality.
At this time, two Three-legged Golden Crows were being nurtured atop a Supreme Sun Star Beyond the Heavens of the Primordial Wilderness.
One Three-legged Golden Crow cradled a small Chaos Profound Yellow bell, while the other was surrounded by the He Luo Book.
They were none other than the future Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Heavenly Emperor Dijun.
That small bell was the Chaos Bell, one of Pangu's Three Treasures of Creation.
It possessed unimaginable power and could suppress primordial chaos.
Dijun's Companion Treasure was no less extraordinary. It was the Hetu Luoshu, one of the Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
It was precisely under the protection of these two treasures that Taiyi and Dijun could freely absorb the source truefire of the Sun Star.
After an unknown length of time, the Three-legged Golden Crow surrounded by the Hetu Luoshu suddenly let out a piercing cry and soared from the great sun star, stirring up towering Solar Truefire.
"Today, I, Dijun, have appeared with my Companion Treasure, the Hetu Luoshu. I am the first Three-legged Golden Crow in this world."
After circling through the skies above the Sun Star several times, the Three-legged Golden Crow finally stopped and transformed into a young man clad in Regal Crowned Robes. Imperial Dao Runes coiled around him, and his supreme aura was incomparable.
Deep within the Sun Star stood a naturally formed Sun God Palace.
After taking human form, Dijun settled there.
"I wonder how much longer it will take for Second Brother to appear?"
After taking a pleasant tour around the place, Dijun turned his gaze toward the other Three-legged Golden Crow within the Sun Star.
Though Dijun had only just appeared, he had been born with innate knowledge.
He knew that the second Three-legged Golden Crow, which had yet to take form and appear, was his Second Brother, Taiyi.
"My Second Brother has been accompanied by the Chaos Bell, one of the three great innate treasures, even before appearing. His future accomplishments may surpass even mine, his elder brother's."
"But I am not bad either. My Companion Treasure is the Hetu Luoshu, one of the Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."
"In the future, the two of us brothers will advance hand in hand. Sooner or later, we will build a vast foundation for ourselves in this Primordial World."
Dijun was brimming with confidence.
His Ninth-Rank Supreme Royal Destiny meant that he was fated to be interested in power and control.
Moreover, he had an excellent disposition. Though Taiyi's Companion Treasure was better than his own, he was not jealous. Instead, he sincerely felt happy for Taiyi.
Unlike the Kunlun Three Pure Ones of later generations, who appeared to be respectful brothers on the surface but were each more ruthless and calculating than the last in secret.
They had utterly taken advantage of their simple and upright Third Brother Tongtian.
After taking form, Dijun meditated in seclusion in the Sun God Palace every day and never went out.
As one of the only two Three-legged Golden Crows between heaven and earth, Dijun naturally wanted to personally protect Second Brother Taiyi until he appeared.
In the blink of an eye, several more epochs passed.
On this day, the Solar Truefire deep within the Sun Star suddenly surged and boiled.
An immensely powerful aura slowly awakened, as though some ancient Ferocious Beast was about to rise.
"Is Second Brother finally about to appear?"
Dijun, who had been cultivating inside the Sun God Palace, sensed this and instantly opened his eyes. He shifted through space and arrived outside Taiyi's resting place.
As he watched the Three-legged Golden Crow figure awakening before him, his face was full of irrepressible joy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As Taiyi's aura continued to soar, the Solar Truefire erupted and ravaged all directions.
Finally, after Taiyi absorbed the last wisp of Solar Truefire sufficient for him to take form and appear, the Three-legged Golden Crow finally soared into the sky.
He released a cry that shook the nine heavens, one that lingered for a long time.
The enormous true form of the Three-legged Golden Crow circled the great sun star several times before descending and transforming into a bewitchingly handsome youth. He was shrouded in imperial nobility and likewise possessed the Ninth-Nine Supreme Imperial Destiny.
The two Three-legged Golden Crows born from the Sun Star, the two brothers, both possessed Dual Emperor Destiny.
This was unique throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.
The two of them were destined to become the first rulers of the Primordial Heavenly Court.
However, that was the historical course of the Primordial Wilderness.
But now, things might not necessarily unfold that way.
For the Taiyi who had just taken form and appeared was not the original Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Yes.
That was right.
He was a transmigrator.
He had become Taiyi of the Sun Star, the future Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"I am Taiyi. I have appeared with my Companion Treasure, the Chaos Bell. I am the second Three-legged Golden Crow in this world."
The youth Taiyi stood atop the Sun Star with the Chaos Bell above his head, loudly proclaiming his birth.
"From now on, I am Eastern Emperor Taiyi."
At the same time, this sentence echoed in the youth's heart.
"Ha ha! Second Brother, you've finally appeared! Your elder brother has waited so painfully for you!"
After Taiyi finished processing the memories that had automatically unsealed upon his appearance, Elder Brother Dijun, who had long been waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward and spoke with a face full of excitement.
"Taiyi greets Elder Brother."
Taiyi saluted respectfully.
Taiyi held great respect for this elder brother who had always protected him in later generations.
"Second Brother, there is no need for formality. You and I are brothers. From now on, we should advance hand in hand, roam the Primordial Wilderness, and build a great foundation."
"I appeared somewhat earlier than you, so I have taken the position of elder brother. Can Second Brother accept this?"
Dijun was full of heroic spirit, but then he worried that Taiyi might not accept it and asked tentatively.
Though he knew this younger brother was his kin, he did not yet know his temperament.
"Elder Brother appeared before Taiyi, so naturally he is the elder brother."
"Once an elder brother, always an elder brother."
"Taiyi will remember this for all eternity."
Facing Dijun's cautious probing, Taiyi answered with a serious expression.
"Ha ha, good."
"Come. To celebrate your appearance, Second Brother, I prepared some delicious food for you. Hurry and have a taste."
Dijun wrapped an arm around Taiyi's shoulders and led him toward the Sun God Palace.
Taiyi smiled and did not stop him, allowing Dijun to pull him along by the arm.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Taiyi returned to the sleeping palace that Elder Brother Dijun had prepared for him.
"Ding dong. It has been detected that the host has successfully taken form and appeared. The Homebody Choice System has officially activated. Please make one of the following choices." "Choice One: Do not stay home. Roam as you please, leave the Sun Star, proclaim the might of the Great Sun Golden Crow, kill enemies and seize treasures everywhere, and forge karmic ties. Reward: the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Red Embroidered Ball." "Choice Two: Remain on the Sun Star and do not leave. Develop steadily and wait for the right time. Reward: the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram."
The moment Taiyi returned to his sleeping palace, a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
"This is... a system?"
Taiyi's expression was quite a sight.
He had not expected that he, too, would receive a system?
"Heh, I was just worrying about how my brother and I could change our future historical course. Who knew a pillow would arrive just as I got sleepy?"
"With the system by my side, why would I fear the Witch and Demon Cataclysm?"
"What Pangu Three Pure Ones, Western Two Sages, Nether River Ancestor—they're all beneath me!"
Taiyi was delighted beyond measure.
"But which should I choose?"
Looking at the two choices before him, Taiyi fell into deep thought.
"Right, since this system is called the Homebody Choice System, it must want the host to make a stay-at-home choice."
"Then I choose the second option!"
Taiyi replied in his heart.
