Sun Star.
On the Fusang Divine Tree, a Supreme Innate Spirit Root—
Within a cluster of brilliant golden Solar Golden Flame, a terrifying Primordial Divine Being aura of the Great Luo Realm flowed, right at the critical threshold of being born yet still unable to break forth!
Hard to bear...
Dan Jing's thoughts turned, his mood somewhat silent:
Could this be considered a "difficult birth due to a giant fetus"?
As a Primordial Divine Being.
Moreover, a Primordial Divine Being who exclusively enjoyed the destiny aura favor of the Sun Star, the sole Solar Golden Crow of the Primordial Cosmos, Dan Jing's birth should not have been delayed until now without him having emerged yet!
Come to think of it—
Only the explanation of a "difficult birth due to a giant fetus" made any sense.
Dan Jing was originally a visitor from beyond the heavens.
At the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, he transformed into a streak of golden light and fell into the newly formed world, illuminating the universe and earth that was still dim and devoid of light at the time!
This caused the newly opened heaven and earth at that time, within a not-so-long period, to be presented in a bright posture before the eyes of that towering and majestic figure who propped up the heavens and earth.
Of course.
All of this was not something Dan Jing had intentionally done at the time!
Back then—
Dan Jing was still ignorant and muddle-headed, merely acting on his own instincts!
Seeing the pitch-black heaven and earth, Dan Jing just subconsciously wanted to turn on the lights and make the world a bit brighter.
Thus.
He became the light—
Illuminating the newly opened heaven and earth!
Once the heaven and earth were completely and successfully cleaved open.
As that towering, majestic figure fell and transformed into all things, Dan Jing was enveloped by the action of a mysterious and mighty force.
Immediately afterward.
He unconsciously absorbed the Chaos Four Spirits.
After obtaining a full ten percent of the Creation Merit, he also took the Chaos Bell, and the River Diagram and Luo Scripture, which came toward him, into his origin source.
And then he fell into the Sun Star—
Where he remained until this very day!
Now.
Dan Jing, who had already plucked the Great Luo Dao Fruit, had long since known what kind of enormous karmic goodness he had planted when he first arrived in the Primordial Cosmos and unconsciously illuminated the Primordial World.
Just for illuminating the newly opened heaven and earth for Pangu the Great, he obtained ten percent of the Creation Merit!
What was this?
The capital to become a Sage!
Were the Three Pure Ones not formidable enough?
Those three each used merely ten percent of the Creation Merit to become Sages!
And now—
Not only did Dan Jing exclusively enjoy the destiny aura blessings of the Sun Star, but because of his karmic goodness with Pangu the Great, he also shared a karmic fruit with the Primordial World, and furthermore carried ten percent of the Creation Merit upon his person!
It could be said—
As long as he did not wish it himself, no one in the universe and earth would be able to forcefully demand that he do anything he did not want to do!
Including Sages!
Ever since he cultivated to the True Immortal Realm, gained the recognition of the Great Dao, and was bestowed the true name "Dan Jing".
He knew—
I, Dan Jing, am insanely badass!
Of course.
No matter how extraordinary Dan Jing might become in the future, or how unoffendable he might be, right now he was still merely a "fetus in the womb" having difficulty being born.
And just as he thought to himself—
With the origin source of the Chaos Four Spirits, coupled with the origin source by which Dan Jing himself could illuminate the newly opened heaven and earth, a "difficult birth due to a giant fetus" with his foundation was only natural!
Once I am born, I must definitely go take a stroll through the Primordial World!
Dan Jing's heart was filled with anticipation:
I really want to see—
"Just how gorgeous is this Primordial World!"
He was stifled.
Dan Jing was truly rather stifled—
From the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, right through the Ferocious Beast Calamity, the Three Tribes Calamity, the Dao Strife Calamity, and several other calamity cycles past.
He had long wanted to go out for a stroll, to walk and see with his own eyes what the Primordial World was truly like.
Naturally.
It was limited strictly to going out for a stroll, wandering around everywhere, and taking a look!
Dan Jing had no intention of doing anything else.
For instance—
Establishing the Demon Race, establishing the Heavenly Court, contending for hegemony with the Witch Race, and matters of that sort; in his heart, he had zero thoughts or notions about them whatsoever!
Nothing else.
Being a so-called Heavenly Emperor or Demon Emperor, ruling over the Primordial Cosmos and the like.
Was purely a thankless and unrewarding chore—
Not to mention having to contend for ruling authority against the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race, on top of having to gradually subjugate subordinates piece by piece; the energy expended would be more than just a little bit.
Being Heavenly Emperor—
Do well, and it was a responsibility you ought to bear; do poorly, and it was your crime and fault!
Not only that.
Who knew when some fellows who thought themselves extraordinary, shouting things like "love," "freedom," "my fate is up to me and not the heavens"... and other such nonsense would pop up.
Annoying.
The moment he thought of days like that—
Aside from feeling annoyed and uncomfortable, Dan Jing had no other feelings at all.
What was more.
Before coming to the Primordial World, he was merely an office drone who worked himself to sudden death at his post.
Now that he had come to the Primordial World, he was expected to proactively find himself a 007, permanently endless shift to work?
Then wouldn't he have come here in vain?
While being cursed at, opposed, and revolted against, he would also have to benefit all living creatures of heaven and earth, and on top of that, it was a permanently endless shift system.
All of this—
And he still had to risk his life and gamble with the fate of his entire family perishing just to attain it?
What the hell!
How cheap can you get!
To hell with you!
Dan Jing knew clearly—
As long as he didn't act like a second-generation rich kid who insisted on "starting a business" to prove himself, then relying on his profound foundation and the dividends of being the spirit of the Sun Star and the only Golden Crow.
He could completely sit back and relax without a single worry!
Anyway—
As for that so-called Demon Race, whoever loved to establish it could establish it.
As for that so-called Heavenly Court, whoever loved to go there could go there.
As for that damned Heavenly Emperor, whoever loved to be it could go be it!
Even if he, Dan Jing, were to die, die outside, or jump off the Sun Star, he would never touch those things.
And don't drag that damned nine-five supreme destiny into this with him.
He always firmly believed—
Though destiny was bestowed by the heavens, the path lay beneath one's feet.
How one wished to walk their own Great Dao—the only one who could make that decision was oneself!
"Hmm?"
Just as Dan Jing was letting his mind wander, waves of strange, delicate fragrance suddenly began to drift and circulate between heaven and earth.
Simultaneously.
Between the heaven and earth of the Primordial World—
Waves of exceptionally profound Great Dao chapters resounded, golden flowers of the Great Dao bloomed all over the firmament, and one golden lotus after another blossomed across the earth.
Immediately afterward.
At the same time that a Dharma form radiating Sage Realm aura manifested between heaven and earth.
A Daoist song chanted:
"Reclining high on nine-fold clouds, the cattail mat completes the true Dao. Beyond heaven and earth's mysterious yellow, I shall hold the teachings' supreme seat. Pangu gave birth to the Taiji, two modes and four symbols follow in turn. Leader of the Mystic Gate, a single breath transformed into Hongjun."
The Daoist song fell silent.
A voice containing the might of a Sage resounded across the Primordial World:
"I am Hongjun. Now I have attained my Dao and become a Sage. Seeing that all living beings lack peace, I wish to impart my Dao to them."
"Therefore—"
"Fifty thousand years from now, in the Outer Chaos, I shall open an altar to lecture on the Dao within the Violet Cloud Palace. Those with affinity may all come to listen!"
The voice fell away.
That trace of Sage might which had enveloped the Primordial World and descended upon all living beings then dissipated.
Dissipating along with it were the auspicious phenomena across the sky brought by the Sage's arrival, as well as the Sage's magnificent physical manifestation.
All at once—
Everyone throughout the universe genuinely felt the extraordinary nature of a Sage, and they grew stirred with excitement one after another, harboring the resolve to seek the Dao as they headed toward the Outer Chaos.
Meanwhile, at the same time—
Atop the Fusang Divine Tree of the Sun Star—
Rumble!
That mass of Solar Golden Flame could not help but violently vibrate.
Dan Jing shouted aloud:
"What?"
That old man had already become a Sage just like that?
No wait—
He hadn't even boarded the carriage yet!
He hadn't even been born into the world yet!
