The Tribulation Ends! The Star Gods Emerge! Di Jun Wants to Kill Di Tian to Establish His Authority!
As the sun rose and moon set, the years shifted.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Eons had passed!
The Primordial Land was now utterly devastated, riddled with destruction. The heavens had collapsed, the earth had split apart, and baleful qi filled the air.
It presented the apocalyptic sight of a vast catastrophe descending, all living beings falling silent, and the Ten Thousand Races facing extinction!
Once, wherever one looked, there would be living creatures within a thousand miles.
But now, across hundreds of millions of miles, there was not the slightest trace of life. Corpses, bones, rivers of blood, and vengeful souls filled everything!
Fortunately, the Three Races Calamity had finally come to an end.
The final outcome of the three races was roughly the same as in the original course of events.
The Three Ancestors fought desperately in a bloody battle, causing the Primordial World to collapse. Eighty percent of the Ten Thousand Races and all living beings perished. Amid the resentment, wails, and suffering of Myriad Spirits—
The three of them finally came to their senses!
To ensure the continuation of their races—
Ancestor Dragon immediately swore an oath to Heaven and Earth. He led the Dragon Race members who had participated in the war, laden with Sin and Karmic Force, and used himself to eternally suppress the Ruin Sea Eye, repair the water veins of the Primordial Wilderness, and withdraw from the struggle for supremacy over Heaven and Earth!
Seeing immeasurable Merit descend from the sky and more than half the Sin and Blood Sha upon the Dragon Race's fate instantly cleared away, Ancestor Qilin immediately swore an oath to Heaven and Earth as well.
He was willing to lead the Qilin who had participated in the war, laden with Sin and Karmic Force, and use himself to eternally suppress the Earth Veins of the Primordial Wilderness, repair the shattered mountains and rivers, ensure the Earth Veins would no longer be damaged, and withdraw from the struggle for supremacy over Heaven and Earth!
Had there not been the later Dao-Devil Conflict, the Qilin Race should have been the race to cleanse its own Sin and Karmic Force the fastest.
Unfortunately, because of the single vow to ensure the Earth Veins would no longer be damaged, after Luo Hou detonated the Western Earth Veins, the Qilin Race's fate plummeted straight down.
Not only was their strength permanently stuck below the Great Luo Realm, but their ability to reproduce also fell to rock bottom.
That was why there were so few Qilin in later generations.
Whenever they appeared in Heaven and Earth, they either became someone else's mount or auspicious beasts that spread blessings.
After all, if they wished to avoid being affected by the Qilin Race's fate, they could only sever their karmic ties with the Qilin Race and perform more acts of Merit. Only then would they have a chance of producing offspring.
That way, the Qilin Race would not be completely wiped out.
Because Di Tian had warned them beforehand, the Phoenix Race had the strongest ability to restrain themselves.
They mostly defended passively and tried not to take lives, merely crippling their opponents' cultivation.
Then they had the various races send people over with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Dharma artifacts, and divine weapons in exchange for their clansmen.
Even during the later stages of the Tribulation, when all races had killed until their eyes ran red and their minds were clouded by the Tribulation's baleful qi and the resentment of Myriad Spirits—
The Phoenix Race was affected the least.
After all, their slaughter was not severe. Aside from several races seeking death by invading the Southern Undying Volcano Group and being completely wiped out by the Phoenix Race—
From the beginning of the Tribulation until its end, the total number of living beings killed by the entire Phoenix Race had not exceeded one billion.
Even in the final great battle between the three races, when Yuan Feng fought Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Qilin in a chaotic melee, she retained the last shred of rationality.
If she could avoid a fight, she avoided it. If she could stall, she stalled.
If there was truly no other choice, she would launch explosive counterattacks in deserted places, venting the killing intent and Vicious Qi in her heart.
It could be said that they had taken the Hiding Path to its utmost limit.
However, while the Phoenix Race had already restrained itself greatly and tried not to damage Heaven and Earth, the Tribulation had ultimately arisen because of the three races.
Thus, the Phoenix Race's fate was likewise stained with considerable Sin and Karmic Force.
To eliminate this Sin and Karmic Force, after Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Qilin died and the two races regained their senses under the effects of the power of Merit, Yuan Feng—
As the decision-maker of the Phoenix Race, she took most of the Sin and Karmic Force upon herself, since all the Phoenix Race's actions had been ordered by her.
She swore an oath to Heaven and Earth, offering her life as the price to eternally suppress the Southern Undying Volcano Group. The clansmen burdened with Sin would assist in repairing the damaged land and sorting out the Fire Veins of the Primordial Wilderness!
The instant Heaven and Earth accepted, the Immeasurable Merit that descended not only swept away all the Sin, Karmic Force, and baleful qi surrounding the Phoenix Race's fate—
It also allowed Yuan Feng's disciple Qing Luan to break through the threshold between Great Luo and Mixed Origin in one stroke, entering the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Early Stage!
It could be said that throughout the entire Immeasurable Calamity, the Phoenix Race not only suffered few losses, but their treasures increased by more than a hundredfold.
They had even gained a Mixed Origin Golden Immortal expert.
This also indirectly shattered the hopes of the Ten Thousand Races that had wanted to reclaim the ransom they had paid after seeing Yuan Feng fall, hoping to recoup some losses.
They could only return to their homes and start over from scratch.
When Di Tian observed that the Three Races Calamity had reached its end and Yuan Feng was dissolving herself as she swore her oath—
He used the Jade Tablet of Creation to conceal the heavenly secrets and, with the might of the Chaos Pearl, collected her True Spirit.
Afterward, he warned Qing Luan to keep a low profile and lead the Phoenix Race to remain in the Southern Continents. Without his orders, apart from those clansmen repairing the damaged mountains and rivers, no one else was allowed to take a single step outside.
Qing Luan was utterly convinced by Di Tian, who had spared the Phoenix Race from the disaster of extermination.
She immediately agreed.
Leaving behind some clansmen to repair the damaged mountains and rivers, she led the rest back to the Southern Continents and peacefully began managing their own territory.
After warning Qing Luan, Di Tian did not remain on the Primordial Land any longer and returned directly to the Ziwei Emperor Star.
Naturally, he had not been idle during the years of the three races' war.
His cultivation had now risen to the half-step Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, and all six Laws had reached perfection!
The Black Lotus of Extinction, Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, and Chaos Pearl had all been refined and brought under his control!
With the support of the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment, the four Divine Daos of Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao, Formation Dao, and Talisman Dao had also initially reached their highest realms.
He used Laws to refine Divine Pills!
He used Dharma treasures to forge Innate Treasures!
He used worlds to arrange Array Formations!
He used Heaven and Earth to draw Divine Runes!
Moreover, using the four Divine Daos, he had forged a Ziwei Imperial Palace that possessed unparalleled offensive power, Mixed Origin defenses, and magnificent splendor!
As for Wang Shu, who cultivated the Yin Yang Dao—
With the support of the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment, she had comprehended the mysteries of extreme yin birthing yang, extreme yang transforming into yin, cycles returning to one, and yin and yang proliferating endlessly.
With the peerless bearing of twelve petals blooming above her head, she commanded twin Yin Yang dragons and ascended into the realm of Mixed Origin Golden Immortal!
Whether the time had come or something else was at work, in the first year after Wang Shu's breakthrough, Xi He and Chang Xi were born one after another.
After the two were brought back to the Ziwei Emperor Star, the Celestial Star Gods also began to emerge one after another.
In a mere three thousand six hundred years, all the Star Gods were born and announced their existence in succession!
"The Celestial Star Gods have all emerged. It is time to gather them here."
As Di Tian looked at the fruits upon the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree, each blooming with dazzling starlight, the satisfaction in his eyes surged.
"I am the Master of Ziwei Emperor Star, the Lord of the Celestial Stars. I command all Innate Star Gods to gather at Ziwei Emperor Star within one thousand years and await me. Those who fail to arrive by the deadline will be killed without mercy!"
Through the fruits on the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree, Di Tian's command instantly spread throughout the entire Extraterritorial Starry Sky!
Most Innate Star Gods offered no resistance to his order. They immediately set out and gathered outside the Ziwei Emperor Star.
"Big Brother, what gives him the right to order us around?"
On the Sun Star, Taiyi's gaze was somewhat arrogant, his heart filled with disdain and contempt for Di Tian's command.
"We are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. He was merely born a little earlier than us, yet he dares to act so arrogantly."
"Those who fail to arrive by the deadline will be killed without mercy?"
"Isn't he afraid the wind will be too strong and sprain his tongue?"
Di Jun was equally disdainful.
The two of them had been born carrying the Innate Treasure, the Chaos Bell, and the Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the He Tu Luo Shu.
Furthermore, they were Innate Star Gods nurtured by the Sun Star, the left eye of Pan Gu Father God. They possessed great fate, great status, and great fortune!
Had Di Tian not descended into the world first, it was uncertain who would hold the position of Lord of the Celestial Stars!
"Taiyi, this is the first gathering of the Celestial Star Gods."
"No matter what, we must make the trip."
"If he is not strong enough, we will kill him on the spot. That will surely establish our authority."
"Then, taking the position of Lord of the Celestial Stars for ourselves will be as easy as turning over a hand."
