"I am the Heavenly Emperor, ruling over the Heavenly Court. Taiyi, you were the one who once proposed the concept of the Yao Race. In that case, you may become the emperor of the Yao Race—the Yao Emperor. Condense: the Method of the Mythical Yao Emperor."

"Those clad in scales and armor, birds, beasts, and wild creatures are Yao. Yao are nurtured by Heaven and born of Earth, blessed beyond measure. One beloved, admired, and revered by the Yao Race is an emperor. An emperor gathers the Yao Race's great power into one body. So long as the Yao Race remains, the emperor shall endure forever. Such is the profundity of the Mythical Yao Emperor."

Di Jun's voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain some mysterious charm. Every word appeared vast and profound, drawing Taiyi into a daze as though he had glimpsed the wonders of all creation.

At first, Randeng sneered inwardly. What nonsense! Keep spinning your lies! I lose if I believe this! But as he listened, subtle changes gradually appeared in his expression, and he could not help sinking into thought.

"To become a Mythical Yao Emperor, one must first gather the Yao Race Faith and gain the Yao Race's recognition. Once successful, you may initially condense the position of Yao Emperor. This is the first step toward becoming a Mythical Yao Emperor. Afterward, advance toward the concept of the Yao Emperor and truly step into the Mythological Domain."

"Mythology is concept, and also origin. If you gather every concept and source of the Yao Emperor, then you shall be the Mythical Yao Emperor. Gather the Yao Race Faith into your body, and all totems shall return to you. Transcend time and space, exist beyond dimensions, stand above all things, until you become a true concept."

Di Jun spoke slowly.

"Hiss."

Randeng unconsciously sucked in a breath. His uncertain expression had turned into shock and horror, and he was nearly dumbstruck.

He did not know whether this mythology business was real or not; it was simply too abstruse. But he could understand the status of Yao Emperor. It seemed... this really had potential!

Starting as the Yao Emperor, then advancing toward the Mythical Yao Emperor?

Even with a casual calculation, Randeng discovered that the feasibility was immense.

In other words, this was not empty boasting or deception? It was real!?

Fuck?

I thought you were bluffing me, but you were actually serious???

His mind shook violently!

Unbelievable!

Inconceivable!!!

"Was Di Jun truly only as he had appeared all this time? What exactly had he been hiding? He had even delved into Mythological Law—just how profound was his cultivation, and what kind of foundation did he possess?"

"And why did he let me know this? Why did he let me hear all this?"

Randeng's expression kept changing. Suddenly, his hairs stood on end and his scalp went numb. He swallowed unconsciously, his mouth dry and parched.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Brother. I understand."

Taiyi naturally did not know what Randeng was thinking. Having received the complete teaching, he had thoroughly comprehended it. Ecstasy appeared on his face, and he immediately bowed to Di Jun in delight.

"Mm. Go and try condensing the position of Yao Emperor first. With the Heavenly Court as your foundation, it will not be difficult. Once it fully takes shape, I will explain in detail how the Mythological Law should proceed."

Di Jun responded gently.

"Yes!"

Taiyi glanced at Randeng before leaving happily.

"..."

Randeng was speechless.

Especially when he felt Di Jun's gaze turn toward him, Randeng became even more flustered. He had intended to stand, but his entire body felt weak, and he nearly stumbled and fell.

It was not that his mental fortitude was weak. The invisible pressure was simply too terrifying! Mythological Law, an unfathomable Di Jun, and he had even been allowed to learn all of this—who the hell could withstand that!

"I need the Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls in your possession."

Seeing the somewhat panicked Randeng, Di Jun spoke unhurriedly.

The moment his words fell, Randeng hesitated not in the slightest. He immediately summoned the Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls and erased his own imprints from them.

"Please, Your Majesty, accept them."

Randeng knelt on one knee and called out loudly.

"Good."

A faint smile appeared in Di Jun's eyes. With a wave of his hand, he collected the Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls and said, "Are you willing to join the Heavenly Court?"

"I am not—this subordinate is willing! This subordinate is willing!"

Randeng froze for a moment, then delight appeared on his face. He agreed without hesitation.

Buzz!!!

The Sea of Destiny churned, and invisible destiny seemed to merge into it. As though guided by Vital Energy in the unseen, Di Jun once again sensed that his Dao Fruit had solidified somewhat.

"If you make contributions, I would not mind teaching you the Mythological Law as well."

Di Jun said meaningfully.

"Yes!!!"

Randeng's eyes brightened, and a trace of excitement and anticipation entered his voice.

"You may leave."

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Randeng departed with utmost respect.

Watching Randeng's departing back, a faint smile surfaced in Di Jun's eyes.

Demand them outright?

That would undoubtedly provoke Randeng's resistance and dissatisfaction. This method was different. Not only had Randeng willingly handed them over, but Di Jun had also subdued a powerhouse of the Primordial Wilderness. Why would he not do so?

Regardless of Randeng's temperament or whether he was the type to betray others, his strength was undeniably real. Moreover, Di Jun was the ruler of an imperial dynasty. Once Randeng joined the Heavenly Court, he would be unable to betray it and would remain under Di Jun's control. There was no need to worry about Randeng's betrayal at all.

"Continue deducing the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty. An imperial dynasty is ultimately only a transition. Without entering mythology, one will forever remain merely a chess piece on the board of the Primordial Wilderness."

Retracting his gaze, Di Jun exhaled slowly, closed his eyes, and resumed his deductions.

The Primordial Wilderness knew no years. Time was the least valuable of all things, and several hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

As Di Jun was deducing the Mythological Law, he suddenly sensed something in the unseen. He opened his eyes and looked into the void, only to see a figure gradually taking shape within the Heavenly Court's Sea of Destiny. It appeared to wear an imperial crown, while hundreds of millions of Yao sang praises and worshipped behind it.

Buzz!!!

A divine light shot out from the Sea of Destiny and entered Di Jun's brow. Within his sea of consciousness, another rune gradually took shape.

It was called Yao Emperor!

Taiyi had initially established the position of Yao Emperor!

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Di Jun's face. He had originally intended to resume his seclusion, but after some thought, he waved his hand and first retrieved the messages Taiyi and the Ten Heavenly Sages had left him, checking the situation of the Heavenly Court.

The Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty was of utmost importance, but the Heavenly Court itself was the true core. Neglecting the Heavenly Court merely to evolve a Mythological Imperial Dynasty would be sacrificing the greater for the lesser.

"The Heavenly Court's rapid development has caused its resources to become somewhat insufficient and unable to keep pace?"

After understanding the Heavenly Court's situation, Di Jun frowned slightly.

This was indeed a difficult and important issue. If an imperial dynasty wished to grow stronger, its living beings needed to improve. A lack of resources would undoubtedly greatly slow its growth.

"Resources... resources..."

Plots and information concerning the Primordial Wilderness flashed through his mind. Then inspiration struck, and Di Jun narrowed his eyes. "Three Immortal Islands."

Looking across the Primordial Wilderness, if one spoke of resource-rich yet ownerless places, what could compare to the incomparably mysterious Three Immortal Islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang?

Countless Primordial Wilderness novels had praised them as Chaos Fragments, and they were even said to contain the elusive one. If he could obtain the resources of the Three Immortal Islands, it would undoubtedly resolve the Heavenly Court's present predicament at once!

"Elder Brother, the Purple Mansion has mobilized in force toward the Eastern Sea."

Just then, Taiyi, who had only recently condensed the position of Yao Emperor, received the news and hurried into the main hall.

"The Eastern Sea?"

A sharp glint flashed through Di Jun's eyes.

If he remembered correctly, the Three Immortal Islands were hidden in the Eastern Sea?

Was it a coincidence, or...
