Time flowed on, while heaven and earth stretched vast and boundless.
For the current Primordial World, time held little significance.
Secluded cultivation, comprehending heaven and earth, traveling through the Primordial Wilderness...
Each matter seemed ordinary and insignificant, yet all required time measured in tens of thousands of years.
By now, fifty thousand years had passed since the establishment of the Star Radiance Divine Court.
During the first ten thousand years, all the Star Gods had spent their time cultivating intensely.
They had hoped to claim first place in the competition and receive Di Tian's reward.
Yet what they had never expected was this:
The difference at the first great dividing line of life
Could not be bridged through diligent cultivation alone.
When they gathered once more outside the Ziwei Emperor Star, brimming with fighting spirit and ready to compete,
The appearance of Xi He and Chang Xi left them all wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
As for why?
Naturally, it was because, with the aid of the Jade Tablet of Creation, the two had already entered the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm.
Although they had merely completed the initial sublimation of their Laws, and their physical bodies remained only at the middle to late Great Luo Realm,
They were still far beyond the likes of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
Thus, the first All Heavens Stars martial contest ended before it had even begun.
However, Di Tian had seen all the efforts the Star Gods had made.
Xi He and Chang Xi's overwhelming strength had also come about because of him.
In order to win over their hearts, he used the power of the All Heavens Stars, blended with the star Dao essence contained within the Jade Tablet of Creation,
To refine a batch of Star Radiance Treasure Pills that could help Innate Star Gods comprehend their corresponding Star Laws.
They served as consolation prizes for the Star Gods.
After receiving the Star Radiance Treasure Pills,
The Star Gods experienced their miraculous effects and immediately knelt before Di Tian in gratitude.
They even strongly requested that all future benefits and rewards preferably be replaced with Star Radiance Treasure Pills.
Di Tian naturally had no reason to refuse such a request.
He had yet to obtain the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and could not mass-produce Innate Magic Treasures.
As for rewarding them with acquired magic treasures, that would make him seem rather stingy.
In truth, the Star Radiance Treasure Pills
Were merely made from the power of the All Heavens Stars, which could be found everywhere throughout the Extraterritorial Starry Sky,
Paired with the Dao essence that could continuously emerge after the Great Dao of Stars manifested within the Jade Tablet of Creation.
Using Great Dao Laws as materials, the Origin of Heaven and Earth as an auxiliary, and Mixed Origin mana as fire, he employed the supreme alchemy method of condensing Law Divine Pills!
They were simply mass-produced goods refined through that method.
Each furnace could generally produce three thousand six hundred and fifty pills.
With Wang Shu's assistance, he could refine a thousand furnaces of Star Radiance Treasure Pills at once.
That was three million six hundred and fifty thousand pills!
Wasn't that far better than exhausting himself, wasting immense amounts of time and effort searching for the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, gathering Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and refining Innate Spiritual Treasures?
After all, refining a furnace of Star Radiance Treasure Pills required only three months.
The benefits he had established for the Star Gods were distributed once every thousand years.
Based on cultivation level and contribution, even the strongest among them could currently receive only three hundred and sixty-five Star Radiance Treasure Pills.
He and Wang Shu had refined pills together for ten thousand years.
Their current stockpile was so vast that it might not be fully distributed even by the end of the Witch and Demon Calamity.
Although the higher the consumer's cultivation, the weaker the effect of Star Radiance Divine Pills became,
Their value was not limited to helping one comprehend the corresponding Star Laws.
Now, forty thousand years after the emergence of Star Radiance Divine Pills, they had become a symbol of the Star Radiance Divine Court.
They had become the primary currency used in trade between the Primordial Myriad Races and the Star Radiance Divine Court!
Furthermore, as the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness recognized the transactional value of Star Radiance Treasure Pills, the Fortune of the Star Radiance Divine Court also surged sharply.
For that reason, Di Tian had sent people down to search for Wuyi Mountain.
If he could find the Falling Treasure Copper Coin,
He could use Star Radiance Treasure Pills as a foundation to gradually seize control of the fortune of heaven and earth and establish the Commerce Dao!
At that time, he could continuously gain Fortune through the transactions of all living beings beneath heaven and earth.
It would add yet another brick to the prosperity of the Star Radiance Divine Court.
However, Di Tian only controlled the overall direction.
The specific details were mostly managed and conveyed by the Wenchang Six Star Gods, led by the Wenqu Star God.
For example, he had already spent ten thousand years cultivating together and frolicking with the Wang Shu Three Sisters within the Ziwei Imperial Palace.
Yet the Fortune of the Star Radiance Divine Court continued to flourish ever more vigorously, without the slightest sign of decline!
On this day, Di Tian was atop the Purple-Gold Dragon Bed with the Wang Shu Three Sisters.
Just as they were baring themselves to one another and speaking freely from the heart,
The Wenqu Star God's loud shout suddenly came from outside the palace gates.
"Your Majesty the Star Emperor, the Star Gods have matters to report. Please dress and attend court!"
Hearing this, Di Tian replied in a faint, puzzled voice.
"If there is anything important, speak of it here."
However, the Wenqu Star God clearly did not wish to do so.
After a thud, his loud cry rang out once more.
"Your Majesty, as the lord of the All Heavens Stars and the only orthodox ruler of the Primordial World, you must not indulge yourself in wine and women!"
"And no matter how wonderful the three Empresses may be, you must restrain yourself and not be too indulgent."
"You have already neglected court for ten thousand years. If you do not show yourself again, it will truly damage your majesty!"
At those words, the Wang Shu Three Sisters could not help but blush deeply, pulling their clothes a little tighter around themselves.
Di Tian also felt somewhat embarrassed.
But precisely because of that,
He seemed to understand the pleasure Di Xin would feel when he indulged himself in the future.
"Your Majesty, you should go."
Seeing that Di Tian's gaze toward them was still somewhat dazed,
Wang Shu immediately conjured formal attire, urging him with helplessness in her eyes.
"Stop looking. Hurry and go!"
"Perhaps the Star Gods truly have something important to discuss with you."
Xi He and Chang Xi had also put on formal attire and began dressing Di Tian.
Although he could dress himself in an instant, he was enjoying the process.
After all, as the emperor who ruled the All Heavens Stars, if he had to personally handle even such trivial matters,
What would be the point of being an emperor?
After donning the Purple-Gold Emperor Robe, Coiled Dragon Boots, and Star Crown, Di Tian instantly arrived before the Wenqu Star God.
"Pass the order: summon the Celestial Star Gods to court!"
The instant his words fell, the Wenqu Star God suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.
"The Star Emperor attends court! All gods, take your places!"
In an instant, waves of drumbeats and resounding shouts spread throughout the All Heavens Stars and the Extraterritorial Starry Sky!
All idle Star Gods who heard the call
Set out for the All Heavens Hall within the Ziwei Imperial Palace, where court deliberations were held!
Because the Ziwei Emperor Star possessed the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree, aside from the Innate Star Gods sent out on assignments,
Any idle Innate Star Gods were generally within the Ziwei Emperor Star itself or the surrounding Star Domains.
Thus, from the moment the drums began to sound until the Star Gods arrived within the All Heavens Hall, only a little over a month passed.
"We pay respects to the Star Emperor!"
Di Tian looked at the Star Gods kneeling below him and nodded in satisfaction.
"Rise. No need for ceremony."
"What matters do you have to report?"
As his words fell, the Wenqu Star God was the first to step forward.
Yet before he could speak, a loud cry suddenly echoed throughout the Ziwei Emperor Star!
"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, Luo Hou has a matter to request. I hope you will appear and meet me!"
Before you continue
