"Looks like she misunderstood? Well, that's not such a bad thing."

Watching Nuwa's retreating figure, Di Jun wore a peculiar expression and couldn't help smiling.

After gathering his thoughts, Di Jun took a deep breath. His expression returned to calm, and he slowly closed his eyes.

With a thought, his immortal sense stirred the Proto-Human Lord Status at the center of his sea of consciousness. In an instant, countless insights and pieces of information surfaced from somewhere deep within.

"To a certain extent, I can draw upon the power of the Human Race. At the same time, I can gather the insights of all the Human Race members under my command and have them bolster me?"

"If the Proto-Human Lord Status alone can do this, what of the complete Human Lord Status? What of the complete Dao of Humanity Lord Status?"

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, ruler of the Heavenly Court. If Mythological Statuses exist under my command, then all their authorities will bolster me. And if I bring more Mythological Statuses into being, what will happen then?"

"Take the Heavenly Court as the foundation and create a Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty. Then use the Mythological Imperial Dynasty to rule over all sides and gather every Mythological Authority under one banner."

A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind. Di Jun abruptly opened his eyes, and his gaze grew brighter and brighter.

"My Dao is complete!"

His Dao had taken shape!

He now had a clear path before him, a clear idea of how to lay his plans and what he needed to do!

"Since the methods from my previous life really work, then this should be simple. I'll combine and organize what I saw and learned in my previous life, use the Method of Dynasty as the core, and see if I can derive the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty. I'll also need to derive a Mythological Law that Taiyi can use."

Lowering his eyes, Di Jun pondered briefly, then closed them.

As for himself?

There was no need.

The Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty was enough. Why would he need some so-called Mythological Di Jun Method? Besides, as the ruler of the Heavenly Court, he commanded the cultivation methods of all its beings. As long as others walked the Mythological path, Di Jun would naturally benefit in return.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

After spending a century at it, Di Jun still hadn't fully derived the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty, but he had already reached some understanding.

"The Heavenly Court is a whole, a world, its own foundation. Use a world to give rise to the profound, and let the profound give rise to mythology. What kind of world? The Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls?"

Di Jun murmured to himself.

He hadn't finished refining the method, but he had grasped its core. Gathering a dynasty under one rule was the same as creating a Mythological Imperial Dynasty, and the vessel that bore it would undoubtedly be a spiritual treasure capable of evolving into a world. The answer was obvious.

Looking across the Primordial Wilderness, who else besides Randeng had used the Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls to evolve twenty-four worlds, claiming to have created the Twenty-Four Heavens?

"If I remember correctly, by the end of the Dao Ancestor's Third Sermon, before he merged with the Dao, Randeng had already obtained the Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls when the Dao Ancestor bestowed treasures at Treasure Distribution Cliff?"

His eyes narrowed slightly. After recalling the past, Di Jun mused over the matter.

This was perfect!

"Taiyi, invite Randeng to come see me."

After some thought, Di Jun came up with a plan. His lips moved slightly as he sent a telepathic message to Taiyi.

Daluo Heaven, Taiyi Palace.

"Yes, Elder Brother."

Taiyi, who had been cultivating, rose to his feet when he received Di Jun's message. He was somewhat puzzled as to why Di Jun wanted to see Randeng, but he would of course obey his elder brother's command without question.

"I must not fail at the task Elder Brother has entrusted to me."

Thinking this, and to prevent Randeng from refusing, Taiyi immediately summoned the Ten Demon Saints—or, as they were now known, the Ten Heavenly Sages. He then took the Chaos Bell and set off grandly for the Primordial Wilderness.

On the Primordial Continent, inside Yuanjue Cave on Mount Lingjiu.

The atmosphere in the Primordial Wilderness had become unpredictable, and Randeng, sensing an undercurrent of unease, was cultivating in seclusion with all his might, hoping to break through to Quasi-Saint as soon as possible. Suddenly, a premonition struck him, and he snapped his eyes open.

The next moment, his figure vanished from where he sat and appeared in the sky.

"Taiyi? What are you doing?"

Gazing into the void, Randeng asked warily, his voice low.

Buzz!

Ripples spread through the void, and Taiyi appeared out of thin air. He waved his hand, and the Ten Heavenly Sages appeared behind him. Then he flipped his palm, and the Chaos Bell appeared in it, releasing wisps of Chaos Qi and seeming to possess the power to suppress countless primordial realms.

At the sight, Randeng's eyelids twitched. He immediately sensed trouble and instinctively wanted to flee.

The Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, and ten Great Luo Golden Immortals—were they here to kill him?

Just as the thought crossed his mind and Randeng was about to run, Taiyi spoke. "Daoist Brother, the Heavenly Emperor wishes to see you."

"???"

Randeng was dumbfounded.

Di Jun wanted to see him?

Was this how his people invited someone?

What a lunatic!

He'd bet that if Randeng refused, they'd turn the invitation into a forced one in no time.

"Since Daoist Brother Di Jun has invited me, I have no reason to refuse."

The situation favored his opponents, and he hadn't sensed any danger either. After a brief consideration, Randeng forced a smile and agreed.

"Excellent."

Taiyi replied with a cheerful grin.

In the Heavenly Realm, inside Heavenly Emperor Palace in Daluo Heaven.

Taiyi led Randeng into the main hall. Di Jun, who had been sitting cross-legged at the head of the dais, eyes closed as he deduced the Dao, seemed to sense their arrival and slowly opened his eyes.

"Elder Brother, I've brought Daoist Brother Randeng."

Taiyi bowed slightly and spoke respectfully.

"Stay here."

Di Jun replied warmly.

"Yes."

Already curious, Taiyi readily agreed.

"I can't sense a trace of his aura. Has Di Jun reached Quasi-Saint?"

Randeng's gaze sharpened as he watched from the side. He kept his expression composed, but inwardly he was rocked by a storm of shock.

"Daoist Brother, forgive me for inviting you so abruptly."

Di Jun looked at Randeng and smiled.

"You're too courteous, Daoist Brother. I'm honored by your invitation. May I ask what you wanted to see me about?"

Randeng hurriedly replied.

"There's no rush to discuss that. Please sit and wait for a moment. I have something to tell Taiyi first."

Di Jun spoke slowly. Two meditation cushions appeared behind Taiyi and Randeng.

"Very well."

Randeng answered, then sat down beside Taiyi.

Taiyi looked toward Di Jun. He didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be asking what his elder brother wanted to tell him.

"Taiyi, I have a method for you. Try cultivating it."

"It's called mythology—the Mythological Law!"

"Mythology means transcending everything, holding supreme status, rising above concepts, and proving oneself unique for all eternity. It gathers every timeline into oneself and makes every source one's own. This method is tailor-made for you."

Seeing Taiyi's expression, Di Jun smiled and spoke at once.

"Transcending everything? Holding supreme status? Rising above concepts?"

Randeng was stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

You sure know how to brag. Why not make it even more ridiculous? Do you take me for a fool? A Mythological Law? Are you sure you aren't trying to make me laugh? If that's the point, then you've succeeded. Did you go to all this trouble to bring me here just to pull my leg?

"Thank you, Elder Brother."

Taiyi naturally had no doubts about what Di Jun said. If his elder brother said it, then it had to be true!

His spirits lifted. After thanking Di Jun, Taiyi looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to teach the method.
