Setting the sun and moon in motion—
This caused the Primordial World's heaven and earth, along with the myriad heavens and worlds evolving and being nurtured throughout the cosmos, to undergo the alternation of day and night.
From the changes of day and night came the revolving succession of the four seasons in seasonal calendars, as well as even more natural transformations!
These—
Were the opportunity Dan Jing had comprehended during this journey across the Primordial World.
Of course.
To say that this opportunity had been entirely comprehended during this journey would not be entirely accurate!
As a transmigrator—
Dan Jing naturally knew about the changes between day and night, the cycle of the four seasons, relatively precise divisions of time, and seasonal calendars!
But this was not that little blue ball; this was the boundless Primordial World cosmos.
Even though he knew the many key points of day-night alternation and seasonal changes, Dan Jing had never seriously considered whether it was feasible to bring all of this into the Primordial World.
For one thing.
Before he was born, Dan Jing's foremost goal had been to digest all of his own origins and be successfully born!
After that.
Once he had been born, Dan Jing had gone to the old Sage's Violet Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao.
Then came raising his strength and breaking through to the Dao Fruit of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
He had not yet had the chance to perfect the laws governing the alternation of day and night and the changing seasons.
Still less had he had the time to calculate and perfect the seasonal calendar.
For another.
Setting the sun and moon in motion, creating the alternation of day and night, might not necessarily suit the Primordial World cosmos.
Ever since the creation of heaven and earth, the Primordial World cosmos had basically remained in a state of everlasting day.
The sun shone eternally without extinguishing, grand and magnificent as it illuminated the cosmos.
The moon had endured since time immemorial, hanging high in the firmament, clear and cold.
The myriad stars of the heavens—
Were hidden behind the radiance of the sun and lunar yin, never manifesting in the Primordial World!
The only differences were—
Some places had more everlasting daylight and were brighter; some had more moonlight and were slightly dimmer; while in some places sunlight and moonlight existed in equal measure, making them exceedingly peculiar.
Then someone might ask.
Brother—
Were there no places in the Primordial World cosmos that lay in everlasting night?
There were.
Some places, brother—
Places of everlasting night like that could be found in great swathes across the western lands!
Back then, after Devil Ancestor Luo Hou—who had wished to prove the Dao through slaughter, massacre the Primordial World in blood, swallow everything, and thereby attain the Dao—had blown up the western lands, he had left countless Demon Abysses, Demon Caves, and Demon Realms amid that shattered expanse of earth.
These places—
Could not be penetrated by naturally shining sunlight, moonlight, or starlight at all!
Therefore.
Those places had always—
Remained in a state of everlasting night to this day!
Back to the point.
After Dan Jing understood this opportunity, a trace of homesickness appeared on his face.
Standing atop a golden auspicious cloud, he returned toward the Sun Star.
He pondered inwardly:
"Set the sun and moon in motion, using the changes of day and night to reveal the distinction between yin and yang, heaven and earth."
"Then evolve the cycle of the four seasons, the changes of seasonal calendars, and so on, before naturally perfecting the finer progression of time!"
"Once day and night change, the starry sky will also be displayed before all beings of the cosmos at night."
"This move—"
"Will not only raise the status and weight of the Sun Star, Lunar Star, and the myriad stars of the heavens within heaven and earth, but also earn quite a bit of Heavenly Dao merit!"
"I need to think this through carefully!"
The Primordial World cosmos placed great importance on duality.
For example—
Concepts such as heaven and earth, qian and kun, yin and yang, and the mutual generation of the two principles could be seen everywhere throughout the Primordial World cosmos!
Setting the sun and moon in motion, causing day and night to alternate.
It had to conform to the concept of the two principles generating one another and the transformations of heaven and earth, yin and yang.
It sounded simple—
But actually doing it would be fraught with difficulties!
Simply deducing, perfecting, and ultimately establishing the laws of the sun and moon's movements was not something that could be accomplished with mere words.
How important were the Sun Star and Lunar Star to the Primordial World cosmos?
Even if their light grew only slightly stronger, it could trigger a certain degree of upheaval in heaven and earth.
Not to mention making the sun and moon move!
It would certainly bring earth-shaking changes—
With one careless mistake, Dan Jing would not be surprised if, rather than gaining merit, boundless karmic sin descended upon him!
In short—
This opportunity held considerable merit, but the difficulties would also be immense!
Of course.
Dan Jing had enough time to perfect this opportunity—
Although the opportunity to set the sun and moon in motion and bring the alternation of day and night to the Primordial World was not a carrot-post job like the Sun God Divine Office,
It was likewise one of the major projects heaven and earth had designated for the Sun God and Moon God!
It belonged to none other than Dan Jing, the Sun God, and the future Moon God.
At present—
The Moon God Divine Office had yet to be claimed by either Xi He or Chang Xi, so naturally they had no connection to it!
At most.
When Dan Jing claimed this opportunity, he could let that pair of peerlessly beautiful sisters participate, make a contribution, and take a share of the merit!
Upon returning to the Sun Star.
Dan Jing entered the Sun God Palace and immediately went into seclusion.
He intended to—
Complete the deductions alone and claim all the credit for himself, aside from the parts that absolutely required the Lunar Star's cooperation!
Give some to Xi He and Chang Xi?
No way!
I, Dan Jing, Sigma, am not fond of beauty!
In the blink of an eye.
Several more yuanhui passed.
The time for the old Sage's third sermon was about to arrive.
Sun Star.
With a leisurely expression, Dan Jing rode a golden auspicious cloud toward the Chaos beyond the heavens!
"This time, he should be distributing the Primordial Purple Qi, right?"
Dan Jing pondered inwardly:
"What a pity."
"I was born too late and failed to seize those cushions. Otherwise, I would have gotten myself a Sage Realm Divine Office and tasted its flavor!"
Of course.
Dan Jing knew that he also had a chance to become a Sage—
The position of Heavenly Emperor, ruling over the Primordial World's heaven and earth, the myriad heavens and worlds, and all beings of the cosmos, was a genuine Sage Realm Divine Office!
As long as Dan Jing—
Conquered the beings of the Primordial World, crushed the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race, who could summon Pangu to fight in their stead, and then obtained sufficient achievements and fortune to surround himself, he could refine the Primordial Purple Qi and become a Heavenly Emperor Sage.
Moreover.
If he truly succeeded—
The worth of his Heavenly Emperor Sage Divine Office would far surpass that of the other Sages.
Indeed.
Whether becoming a Sage through the great merit of creating heaven and earth, through creating acquired beings and gaining merit, or through making great vows and fulfilling them after becoming a Sage, all such paths to Sagehood were exceedingly difficult!
However,
If one truly spoke of value—
A Sage Realm Divine Office fought out from the midst of a calamity would still be far more substantial!
Being a Sage was good.
But then again—
He, Dan Jing, wanted to taste the flavor of a Sage Realm Divine Office, yet he wanted even more to lie flat!
Moreover.
When all was said and done—
A Sage Realm Divine Office also represented the responsibility of maintaining heaven and earth!
It was neither free nor enjoyable.
Which made it rather unsuitable for a fun-seeker like Dan Jing.
As he pondered inwardly.
Dan Jing had already entered Chaos—
Previously, he had needed the protection of a Dharma treasure to resist the erosion of Chaos's baleful qi.
But now, with a streak of primordial golden light circulating around his body, Dan Jing stood within Chaos and kept the baleful qi of Chaos outside himself.
At the same time.
He directly suppressed an area spanning hundreds of millions of li within Chaos into a safe zone!
"The Primordial Golden Immortal realm really is different!"
Feeling the resistance and suppressive force his own aura exerted against Chaos's baleful qi, satisfaction appeared on Dan Jing's face.
Though he could not, like a Sage or an existence that had attained the Dao, completely suppress a corner of Chaos merely by appearing within it.
It was already extremely impressive.
He was only in the middle stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm—
No need to demand so much!
Before long.
Dan Jing once again arrived smoothly, first among all, outside the gates of the Violet Cloud Palace!
