Dan Jing's expression brimmed with confidence.
There was no helping it—
He had succeeded!
When the Universal Realms incorporated the movements of the sun and moon, the alternation of day and night, the changing of the seasons, and countless other patterns into the fundamental laws governing the Primordial World.

Everyone knew—
Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi's scheme had succeeded.
Sure enough.
As soon as Dan Jing's voice fell—
Gong!
Gong!
Gong!
Five consecutive Heavenly Dao Congratulatory Golden Gong chimes rang out across the Universal Realms, washing through the hearts of all beings in the Primordial World!
After the Heavenly Dao Congratulatory Golden Gong chimes faded.
Within the boundless starry sky.
Splash—
Auspicious golden light of merit began to gleam and gather among the stars, gradually transforming into a vast ocean of merit condensed from Heavenly Dao merit!
A moment later.
At the instant the Heavenly Dao merit had fully gathered—
That ocean of merit surged, descending separately into the starry skies beyond the Sun Star and Lunar Star!
There was no need to say more.
The only ones who could receive this Heavenly Dao merit were naturally Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi.
And of this Heavenly Dao merit—
Forty percent belonged to the Lunar Star, and was thus divided equally between the sisters Xi He and Chang Xi; another forty percent belonged to the Sun Star, and naturally fell to Dan Jing.
The remaining twenty percent.
Belonged to the one who had perfected every detail of the laws of solar and lunar motion, seasonal transitions, and so on.
And all of that had been comprehended, deduced, and perfected by Dan Jing alone.
Therefore—
The remaining twenty percent of Heavenly Dao merit naturally still belonged to Dan Jing!
Watching sixty percent of the Heavenly Dao merit descend toward him, Dan Jing revealed a smug smile.
With a raised hand.
Dan Jing transformed the sixty percent of Heavenly Dao merit into a dazzling Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel, hanging high behind him.
Elsewhere.
Beyond the Lunar Star—
Facing the twenty percent of Heavenly Dao merit allotted to them, Xi He and Chang Xi drew it in with their jade hands and refined their respective portions in an instant.
Then.
Streams of moonlight Dao radiance flowed from around Xi He and Chang Xi.
The auras surrounding the pair of peerless sisters began to rise swiftly and steadily.
A moment later.
Beside each of them appeared a phantom of a divine maiden, seventy percent similar to her original self yet utterly different in temperament!
The moment the divine maiden phantoms appeared.
The sisters opened their beautiful eyes, within which Dao radiance flowed, and each summoned a top-grade innate spiritual treasure gleaming with precious light, suppressing the divine maiden phantom beside her.
Within a few breaths.
The two divine maiden phantoms solidified from illusion into reality, appearing completely beyond the Lunar Star and standing beside the sisters.
Having successfully severed another Corpse.
Xi He and Chang Xi both let out long breaths, then returned the Three Corpses they had severed into their respective Dao Fruits.
Before Xi He and Chang Xi could make another move.
Dan Jing's resounding voice rang out once more through the boundless starry sky:
"Heavenly Dao above!!!"
Upon hearing that thunderous cry.
Xi He and Chang Xi were stunned, then turned their surprised gazes simultaneously toward Dan Jing beyond the Sun Star.
Again?
There was a second act to this scheme?
He had not mentioned it!
After their brief shock.
Xi He and Chang Xi immediately understood—
What came next probably had nothing to do with the two of them.
They only needed to watch!
Beyond the Sun Star.
With a dazzling Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel above his back, Dan Jing calmly offered a salute to the heavens.
He spoke in a clear voice:
"I, Dan Jing—the spirit of the Sun Star, the Sun God—have traveled the Primordial World and surveyed Heaven and Earth, and have sensed that the temporal order of the Universal Realms is incomplete."
"Therefore—"
"I have comprehended the passage of time and years, attaining the method of temporal order. Today, I report it to Heaven, Earth, and all living beings, to complete the Temporal Sequence Markers of the Universal Realms."
"One thought marks a moment; a hundred thoughts make an instant, and a hundred instants make a breath."
"..."
"The Innate Calendar follows Heaven, follows Earth, follows humanity, and is completed through the passage of years!"
"..."
"The Acquired Calendar follows time, follows laws, follows the seasons; it serves all living beings and benefits the whole world!"
"..."
Dan Jing continuously demonstrated the Temporal Sequence Markers he intended to establish—
The Innate Calendar.
The Acquired Calendar.
As well as the many acquired spiritual treasures related to temporal order that he had refined. He displayed every last detail, thoroughly and completely!
It was like giving the company chairman the most detailed project report imaginable—
When his bonus was at stake, he could not afford the slightest carelessness!
More importantly—
This "chairman" truly understood everything the moment he heard it!
Western Kunlun.
Watching Dan Jing establish the Temporal Sequence Markers, Queen Mother of the West suddenly understood why he had come to borrow the Kunlun Mirror earlier.
"What a madman, Dan Jing!"
The corners of Queen Mother of the West's lips curled faintly upward, a sharp glint flashing through her eyes.
She said:
"To be able to deduce and perfect the 'Law of Solar and Lunar Motion,' and now these Temporal Sequence Markers... he truly is anything but simple!"
This madman Dan Jing—
He appeared wild and outrageously arrogant, but in truth, his schemes, wisdom, and methods were likely inferior to no powerhouse!
The reason he presented himself as such an arrogant, unrestrained madman.
Was probably because his strength was enough to let him disregard any being or faction beneath the Sage Realm.
His superhuman wisdom told Dan Jing that superhuman strength could crush everything in its path!
Having understood this.
Queen Mother of the West was no longer worried that Dan Jing would fail to return her Kunlun Mirror.
Of course.
What pleased her even more was—
Thanks to the favor of lending him the Kunlun Mirror this time, perhaps she could not make Dan Jing show her some respect in the future.
But at the very least, when Dan Jing beat her up, he might go a little easier on her, right?
It was not that Queen Mother of the West deliberately placed herself so low.
In her view—
Including Xi He and Chang Xi, the Lunar Star goddesses closest to Dan Jing, aside from the Sage Realm Dao Ancestors, no one who provoked Dan Jing could possibly make this madman give them any face.
Being beaten a little less severely already counted as having plenty of face.
Endless Sea of Blood.
Seated in the place of honor within the Blood God Palace—
Minghe wore an icy expression. Amid his surging killing intent, he watched Dan Jing's figure with twelve parts caution!
Ever since the "Primordial Purple Qi Struggle" of years past, Minghe's already cautious nature had been beaten by Dan Jing into becoming even more... prudent.
Was that not so?
After being force-fed pure high numerical damage, beaten flat, and left like a stray dog by the roadside, who would not become more prudent?
After watching a while longer.
Minghe withdrew his gaze and continued his secluded healing.
He had originally intended to study Dan Jing's opportunities in the "Law of Solar and Lunar Motion" and the "Temporal Sequence Markers," to see whether he could draw some inspiration and obtain a little merit for himself.
But no matter how he looked.
Minghe could not make heads or tails of it!
From those two great opportunities, he looked left and right, up and down.
And only made out two words—
Specialized!
Th-this... a project meant for specific people with specialized expertise—what the hell was he, Minghe, supposed to learn from it?
