In the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Di Jun's eyes swirled as if containing stars and cosmos, deep enough to swallow an entire universe; his aura was profound and obscure, ethereal and boundless, vast and majestic, exalted and immeasurable, noble and infinite.

Threads of divine principles converged and connected, seeming to open passage after passage behind Di Jun, linking to world after world, where the worship of all beings and the praise of immortals and gods resounded. Even the seat he occupied had become an absolute center.

Gazing ahead, the Chaos Gourd, bearing nine hundred and ninety-nine great Daos, pulsed with light that flickered dimly and brightly before him. A single glance could directly penetrate all the information carried by its imprint.

"The Chaos Creation Gourd possesses the power to smelt all things in the world into primordial essence, gathering the authorities of devouring, creation, and evolution into one. It can return to the source and forge the foundation, extend into the boundless, and devour chaos to continuously grow through its own imprint."

Di Jun's eyes brightened slightly.

Perfect!

This aligned seamlessly with the function of the Mythological Seal.

With a single thought—perhaps because it was a newborn treasure, or perhaps because it had been tainted by a trace of mythic aura—Di Jun quickly left his mark on the Chaos Creation Gourd, refining and claiming it.

Without wasting words or time, Di Jun waved his hand, and vast quantities of precious liquids refined over hundreds of thousands of years, along with countless Daoic treasures like the bubbles of myriad realms, tore through the void like a tidal ocean and poured into the Chaos Creation Gourd.

He formed hand seals, striking numerous marks into the Chaos Creation Gourd. Divine thoughts surged from his brow, and with a gesture, the Sea of Destiny above the clouds churned. The origin of Heavenly Court Destiny descended and gathered into the Chaos Creation Gourd, while threads of Mythological Marks were condensed and struck in by Di Jun.

"A dynasty of destiny gathers destiny into a force, using destiny to drive the force's development."

"As for a Mythological Imperial Dynasty, it touches the root, contains concepts, bears immortality. Since it is myth, it wields authority. To forge a Mythological Imperial Dynasty, one must possess a suppressing object, transform the mythic imprint into the origin, and use a supreme treasure as the vessel."

"Forge the Mythological Seal, lay the foundation of myth, evolve the root of myth. Let the Mythological Seal connect to the Heavenly Court, allowing destiny to transform and all things to be gathered. Only then can the transformation into a Mythological Imperial Dynasty be completed, thus opening the chapter of the Mythological Imperial Dynasty."

"Complete—the first step toward ascending to a Mythological Imperial Dynasty!"

His hands moved without pause, and in Di Jun's mind surfaced the information and methods of the Mythological Imperial Dynasty he had deduced over countless ages. His eyes grew brighter and brighter as time passed.

Time flowed like water; in the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.

Looking out, the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Realm were almost completely emptied. All beings of the Heavenly Court had gathered in the Sun Palace of the first heaven, Taihuang Heaven, where major court events were held.

The number of living beings exceeded a trillion. Though most were merely Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals, after such a long period of development, the number of experts above the Taiyi Realm in the Heavenly Court had increased significantly.

Though the number was vast, the Sun Palace contained a mustard seed within, holding a world within. On the surface, it was a palace, but inside, it was as vast as a massive world. It could accommodate not just a trillion, but even a trillion trillion.

A solemn and grand atmosphere pervaded the cosmos. Everyone silently gazed at the sky, their eyes seeming to pierce through the palace to see the scene beyond the endless void.

The entire Heavenly Realm was as silent as if no sound existed, except for the occasional disturbances from the Heavenly Emperor Palace above the Nine Heavens, which crossed the barriers of countless worlds and manifested in Taihuang Heaven.

Ancient!

Profound!

Immortal!

Exalted!

Majestic!

Every thread of aura contained unimaginable mysteries. Even a slight glimpse could give birth to boundless creation. Especially after hearing the words of Taiyi and other high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court, all beings and experts of the Heavenly Court were filled with eager anticipation.

Though several hundred years had passed, no one felt any boredom or impatience. Instead, as time went on, their curiosity and anticipation only grew.

Finally, all the strange phenomena around them dissipated. As if sensing something in the unseen, everyone's body trembled, and their breaths unconsciously held, as if they realized a great upheaval was about to arrive.

In the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Boom!!!

Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment. All great Daos appeared to be repelled, yet also converged and swallowed. Mysterious beyond mystery, wonderful beyond wonder, an indescribable and unparalleled might began to rise from the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

"The Mythological Seal... is complete!"

Di Jun's eyes blazed with divine light. His expression was solemn and dignified as he slowly rose to his feet.

The seal was complete!

Before Di Jun, a seal slowly rotated in the void, as if gathering all destiny. Celestial birds, divine beasts, the myriad things of the world, and all phenomena seemed capable of manifesting within it.

It also contained a mythic charm that transcended everything, as if its very breath possessed the supreme power to suppress all directions, annihilate all realms, freeze all cosmos, and fix all chaos.

This was the Mythological Seal, forged from the Chaos Creation Gourd and countless other supreme treasures!

The Mythological Seal—the core needed to suppress a Mythological Imperial Dynasty!

Holding the Mythological Seal, Di Jun took a single step, and his figure vanished from where he stood. In an instant, he crossed the Nine Heavens and descended into the Sun Palace.

"We greet Your Majesty's arrival!"

"We greet Your Majesty's arrival!"

"We greet Your Majesty's arrival!"

All the beings of the Heavenly Court's various departments saw Di Jun's majestic figure. Their eyes burned with fervor as they knelt on one knee and shouted loudly. Countless voices intertwined and converged, their volume so immense it seemed to surpass thunder and war drums. The entire Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Realm seemed to tremble, emitting rumbling echoes.

"Rise."

Di Jun's lips moved slightly as he spoke calmly, holding the Mythological Seal in his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The beings rose.

"All of you must be curious—what has Imperial We been scheming all this time? Today, the moment for all answers to be revealed has come."

"What Imperial We sought, what Imperial We schemed, is this object—the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty!"

"Mythology: the birth of concepts, born from fantasy, that is, the convergence of all possibilities and impossibilities, transcending all thought and imagination, existing within all fantasy or concept, the source of all roots."

"It contains the power to bind time and space, bear All Daos, project across dimensions, surpass all realms, and stand above the supreme peaks of the heavens—Omniscient and Omnipotent, undying and immortal, detached from all, above all, forever higher than all. This is mythology."

"An Imperial Dynasty: a sovereign court of eternal fortune, gathering fortune to serve itself, thereby unleashing all manner of inconceivable wonders—such as amplifying enlightenment, increasing cultivation speed, elevating the Heavenly Court's fortune, and so forth."

"And the method Imperial We has deduced is the union of these two—that is, the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty!"

His gaze swept across, fixing upon the multitude. Where Di Jun's eyes reached, every living being straightened their backs and raised their heads, their looks filled with reverence. As Di Jun's words fell, the Sun Palace—already utterly silent save for the echo of his own voice—turned into... a dead stillness!

No breath appeared, the Great Dao ceased to revolve, as if time and space themselves had frozen in that moment of absolute silence!!!

Forge an Imperial Dynasty, craft a mythology, ascend—Mythological Imperial Dynasty!!!
