"Sit. Explain in detail."
A faint smile appeared on Di Jun's face as he gestured.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Acknowledging, Fuxi sat down on a reed mat that materialized behind him out of thin air.
Weighing his words, Fuxi slowly began: "Your Majesty, the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens was evolved according to the direction, trajectory, and core you provided. Its foundation can use one person as the formation's eye, with three hundred and sixty-five people forming the formation, borrowing the power of the stars of the heavens."
"Going upward, the numbers increase tenfold. For example, three hundred and sixty-five experts serve as the core, with three thousand six hundred and fifty Heavenly Soldiers and Generals forming the formation."
"If it increases further, the pattern follows this logic: the single person at the formation's eye remains unchanged, three hundred and sixty-five preside over the sub-formations, and the formation members increase by multiples of three hundred and sixty-five—tenfold, hundredfold, or thousandfold, even ten-thousandfold."
"The maximum can support a ten-thousandfold increase, thereby borrowing the power of the stars of the heavens and all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals within the formation, merging it into the person presiding over the formation at its eye. If a Quasi-Saint early-stage presides, the formation can at most unleash the power of a Quasi-Saint peak, but it cannot last more than a few breaths."
"If it is a Quasi-Saint late-stage, they can break taboos and rules, erupting with the strength of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm. A Quasi-Saint peak can unleash even greater power."
Having said this, Fuxi paused briefly, not continuing to introduce the All-Heavens Universe Formation, instead waiting for Di Jun's evaluation.
"Not bad."
Di Jun nodded slightly, uttering two words lightly.
It was indeed not bad. From his perspective, it seemed even three-tenths stronger than the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens from its original trajectory. Of course, it was only 'not bad'; praising it any more would be an exaggeration.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
Though Di Jun had only said 'not bad,' to Fuxi it was undoubtedly a great compliment. A joyful expression appeared on his face as he thanked him happily.
"Continue with the All-Heavens Universe Formation."
Di Jun said.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, due to time constraints, I have only deduced a rough outline of the All-Heavens Universe Formation. Because of what you said about myths, I let my thoughts run wild during the deduction, using the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens as the core to start connecting ideas."
"Since the stars of the heavens can form a formation, what about the worlds of the heavens? What if we borrow the power of all realms? One realm empowers one person. If the Heavenly Court has billions of worlds, when the formation is complete, it can empower the power of billions of worlds, enough to unleash the ultimate power of the Heavenly Dao domain."
"Since the Heavenly Court is just starting out and lacks such foundations, my next step is to refine the arrangements and formation patterns, and see if I can deduce a simplified version."
Organizing his thoughts, Fuxi spoke slowly.
"Not bad! It's excellent that you have this idea. We cultivators are already going against the heavens; how could we let our thinking be constrained? Whether it can be done or not, first let your thoughts run free. You can think about the rest slowly later. This is the spirit we need."
"As for the formations, there's no rush. Take your time refining them; they're not needed yet. By my reckoning, within ten kalpas, a new expert skilled in formations will join to help you."
A sharp glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes as he smiled. This 'not bad' was one of deep satisfaction. His gaze toward Fuxi grew even more appreciative.
Fuxi, after all—his wisdom was truly extraordinary. Communicating with someone this intelligent was simple; he could draw inferences on his own without Di Jun having to worry about every detail.
"Skilled in formations."
Fuxi pondered, a guess forming in his mind. Then he suppressed his thoughts, a joyful expression on his face as he stood and bowed deeply to Di Jun. "Your Majesty flatters me. This is this subject's duty."
"Send an order to Taiyi: begin familiarizing himself with the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens immediately. A new great battle is about to begin!"
Slowly rising, Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep as he looked ahead, as if piercing through the boundless void to glimpse a corner of the future.
"A new great battle... Yes! I shall follow Your Majesty's decree!"
Fuxi's heart tightened, his expression turning serious as he immediately replied.
"Go on, go on."
"This subordinate takes his leave."
Fuxi bowed and withdrew.
"The Innate Gourd Vine... soon, soon. Once I obtain it, I can begin preparations for the promotion to the Mythological Imperial Dynasty."
"The surrounding details are already mostly settled. Once the gourd is in hand, then, at that time, Imperial We can also join this grand era of the Primordial Wilderness!"
A faint look of anticipation appeared in Di Jun's eyes.
Ten years later.
Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Di Jun was contemplating his subsequent plans and arrangements. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his gaze toward the palace entrance.
A series of hurried footsteps sounded. In a few flashes, Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Randeng, and the Ten Heavenly Sages all entered together.
"Your Majesty, the matter you had me watch has yielded results. I just sensed in the depths of my being that my opportunity is about to manifest, at Mount Buzhou."
Taiyi's expression was grave as he spoke solemnly.
"Your Majesty, I as well. The same as Taiyi."
Nuwa followed closely.
"Good!"
"After preparing for so long, it's time to truly test our strength."
"Taiyi, Nuwa, you two lead the team. Fuxi, you preside over the formation. Bai Ze, the ten of you bring three million six hundred and fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals down to the mortal realm."
"Remember, your mission this time is to secure the Innate Gourd Vine—the very thing you and Taiyi sensed as your opportunity. It is of utmost importance to Our Heavenly Court. Whether Our Heavenly Court can undergo its transformation depends on this endeavor. There must be no failure, and absolutely no mishaps."
His gaze sharpened, a killing aura gradually rising around him as Di Jun slowly stood up and spoke each word deliberately.
"Imperial We shall hold the line for you from the Heavenly Court!"
If any misstep occurred, Di Jun would not hesitate to expose his own strength. With his current Dao Fruit, bolstered by the Heavenly Court and the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens, he feared even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. So long as the Dao Ancestor did not appear, he alone could sweep the entire Primordial Wilderness!
This Innate Gourd Vine was simply too important—too important. If he failed to obtain it, the effort and price required to evolve the Mythological Imperial Dynasty would multiply beyond measure.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Understanding the gravity of the matter, everyone's hearts tightened. Their gazes turned grave and solemn as they shouted with resolve.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Taiyi, Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Ten Heavenly Sages spoke in unison.
"Um, Your Majesty, do I not need to go?"
Randeng, who had been listening nearby and was nearly swept up in the fervor, suddenly came to his senses. Why wasn't I mentioned? So he asked weakly.
"You? Stay for now as a contingency. No need to go."
Di Jun glanced at Randeng and said slowly.
Hmm, considering Randeng's pride, he didn't directly say that a Peak Grand Unity Realm cultivator like him would be of little use anyway. He wasn't even integrated into the Heavenly Court's system, and his role was even less than that of the Ten Heavenly Sages. Better to keep him in reserve.
With so many matters lately, Di Jun hadn't yet found the time to properly deduce a suitable Mythical Path or Mythological Law for Randeng. Once the Heavenly Court formally established the foundation of the Mythological Imperial Dynasty, he could begin that work.
"..."
Randeng fell silent, almost retreating to a corner to draw circles in the dirt.
"Go."
Di Jun said calmly.
The grand show begins!!!
