Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Di Jun's eyes shifted, seeming to contain the stars and the universe. His gaze was so deep it seemed capable of swallowing an entire cosmos, and his aura was profound and unfathomable—ethereal and boundless, vast and majestic, exalted beyond measure, and immeasurably grand.

As strands of divine laws converged and connected, it was as if one passage after another opened behind Di Jun, linking to world after world. Countless beings worshipped him and sang praises to the immortals and gods. Even the place where he sat had become the absolute center.

He gazed ahead at the Chaos Gourd, which bore nine hundred and ninety-nine Great Daos and breathed out a flickering light before him. With a single glance, he could see directly through all the information carried by its imprint.

"The Chaos Creation Gourd possesses the ability to refine all things in the world into their origin. It gathers the powers of convergence, devouring, creation, and evolution within itself. It can Return to Origin, extend without limit, and devour chaos to form its own imprint and continue growing."

Di Jun's eyes brightened slightly.

Perfect!

Wasn't this exactly what the Mythological Seal needed?

With a thought, Di Jun quickly left his mark on the Chaos Creation Gourd and refined it. Perhaps it was because it was a newly born treasure, or perhaps it had absorbed a trace of the aura of myth.

Without another word or a moment's delay, Di Jun swept his hand, sending vast quantities of treasure liquid refined over hundreds of thousands of years, along with the shadows of myriad worlds and other hidden treasures, surging like a boundless tide through the void and into the Chaos Creation Gourd.

His hands formed seals, sending countless incantations into the Chaos Creation Gourd. Immortal thoughts surged at his brow. With a wave of his hand, the Sea of Destiny above the clouds churned, and the origin of the Heavenly Court's Destiny descended and gathered within the Chaos Creation Gourd. Di Jun condensed strands of Mythological Marks and sent them inside.

"An imperial dynasty gathers destiny to form a force, then uses destiny to drive that force's development."

"But a Mythological Imperial Dynasty is one that bears the Origin, contains concepts, and carries the Undying. Since it is myth, it must wield authority. To establish a Mythological Imperial Dynasty, one must possess an object to suppress it, turn the Myth Imprint into its origin, and use a supreme treasure as its vessel."

"Forge the Mythological Seal, establish the foundation of myth, and evolve the Mythological Origin. Let the Mythological Seal connect to the Heavenly Court, allowing destiny to transform and everything to be brought into alignment. In this way, the transformation into a Mythological Imperial Dynasty can be completed, and its era begun."

"The first step toward ascending to a Mythological Imperial Dynasty is complete!"

His hands continued moving. In his mind, Di Jun recalled all the information and methods he had deduced over countless years concerning the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty. As time passed, his eyes shone ever brighter.

Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed.

As far as the eye could see, the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Realm were almost completely deserted. All the beings of the Heavenly Court had gathered in the Sun Palace, located in Taihuang Heaven, the First Heaven, where the Heavenly Court held its most important ceremonies.

There were more than a trillion beings. Although the vast majority were merely Earth Immortals or Heavenly Immortals, after so many years of development, the number of experts in the Heavenly Court who had reached the Taiyi Realm or higher had also grown considerably.

The crowd was enormous, but the Sun Palace contained the vastness within a mustard seed, with worlds within. From the outside it resembled a palace, but inside it was as vast as an immense world. Let alone a trillion beings—it could have contained countless quadrillions.

A solemn and grand atmosphere filled the cosmos. Everyone silently gazed toward the firmament, their eyes seeming to pass through the palace and glimpse the scene above the Endless Void.

The immense Heavenly Realm was utterly silent. Only sounds from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, high above the Nine Heavens, occasionally crossed the barriers between worlds and reached Taihuang Heaven.

Primordial!

Profound!

Undying!

Exalted!

Majestic!

Every wisp of aura contained mysteries beyond imagination. Even sensing the slightest trace seemed to bring forth boundless fortune. And when they heard what Taiyi and the other high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court had to say, all the beings and experts of the Heavenly Court grew even more eager with anticipation.

Though hundreds of years had passed, no one felt bored or impatient. Instead, as time went by, their curiosity and anticipation only grew.

At last, all the strange phenomena around them faded away. A feeling stirred within everyone. Their bodies shuddered, and they unconsciously held their breath, as if they sensed that an earth-shaking change was about to unfold.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Boom!!!

Space-Time seemed to halt in that instant. All the Great Daos seemed to reject it completely, yet also to converge and merge with it. Mysterious beyond compare, wondrous beyond measure, the supreme and peerless might—impossible to describe in words—began to rise from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, embodying the mysteries of all mysteries and the wonder of all wonders.

"The Mythological Seal... is complete!"

Divine light seemed to shine from Di Jun's eyes. His face was solemn, his expression grave, as he slowly rose to his feet.

The seal was complete!

Before Di Jun, a seal revolved slowly in the void, as if it gathered all destiny within it. Celestial birds, divine beasts, all the myriad things of the world, and every phenomenon under heaven seemed able to appear within it.

It also contained a mythical aura that seemed to transcend all things. With every breath it took, it seemed to wield supreme power capable of suppressing every realm, destroying all worlds, and bringing the myriad primordial realms to a standstill.

It was the Mythological Seal, forged from the Chaos Creation Gourd and a host of other supreme treasures!

The core treasure required to suppress a Mythological Imperial Dynasty!

Holding the Mythological Seal, Di Jun took a single step. His figure vanished from where he stood and instantly crossed the Nine Heavens, descending into the Sun Palace.

"We welcome Your Majesty!"

"We welcome Your Majesty!"

"We welcome Your Majesty!"

Seeing Di Jun's majestic figure, all the beings of the Heavenly Court's many divisions dropped to one knee, their eyes blazing with fervor, and shouted in unison. Their countless voices merged into a roar that seemed to surpass the thunderous war drums. The entire Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Realm trembled, rumbling in response.

"You may rise."

Di Jun spoke calmly, holding the Mythological Seal in his palm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The gathered beings rose to their feet.

"I believe you have all been wondering what I have been planning all this time. Today, the answer to everything will be revealed."

"My design, my plan, is this object—and the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty!"

"Myth is born of concepts and shaped by imagination. It gathers all possibilities and impossibilities, transcends everything that can be thought or imagined, and exists within every fantasy and concept. It is the wellspring of all origins."

"It contains the power to gather Space-Time, bear All Daos, project across dimensions, transcend every domain, and stand above the heavens. Omniscient and Omnipotent, deathless and indestructible, transcending all things and standing above everything forever—this is myth."

"An imperial dynasty gathers destiny to ensure its eternal prosperity and prolong its reign, then harnesses destiny for its own use, bringing forth all manner of inconceivable wonders: enhancing comprehension, increasing the speed of cultivation, improving the fortune of the Heavenly Court, and more."

"The method I have deduced combines the two. It is... the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty!"

His gaze swept over the crowd. Wherever Di Jun looked, every being stood tall, their eyes filled with reverence. When his words fell, the Sun Palace—which had been utterly silent save for his voice—became a place of absolute stillness.

No breath stirred. The Great Daos ceased their circulation. It was as if Space-Time itself had halted, plunging everything into utter silence!!!

Forge an imperial dynasty, create myth, and ascend—to a Mythological Imperial Dynasty!!!
