But the Sun Saint Emperor had never expected that after his transformation failed, not even his corpse would remain intact. Only a human skin was left.
Moreover, disaster had struck the Sun God Sect. Attacked by the Underworld, it had fallen into utter decline.
"..."
Divine Resentment froze.
He gazed silently at Taiyi.
Taiyi's expression remained calm and entirely forthright, without the slightest retreat.
He already possessed a Supreme Artifact, so he was not determined to obtain the Sun Emperor Pagoda at all costs.
Still, nothing could be better than gaining command of this Emperor Weapon before the Road to Immortality opened.
Moreover, he possessed a bloodline-reverted sun sacred body and should be able to unleash the Sun Emperor Pagoda's power to the greatest extent.
"Very well!" In the end, Divine Resentment did not refuse.
Light flashed in his hand, and a stone pagoda appeared in his palm.
It looked utterly ordinary, without the slightest world-shaking fluctuation. No one could possibly have associated it with the Sun Emperor Pagoda that had once shaken the world.
Whoosh!
The ancient pagoda rose into the air.
It was sent straight before Taiyi.
"I cannot go against the Saint Emperor's wishes. The Sun Emperor Pagoda can protect you on your path for no more than three hundred years..."
Divine Resentment looked solemn as he told Taiyi, "After three hundred years, it will leave of its own accord and return to the Northern Sea, guarding this place forever!"
The Sun Saint Emperor had grown up in the Ziwei Star Domain.
Even after passing away in meditation, he had hoped to protect his former homeland.
Fearing that Dark Turmoil might arise in the future, he wanted to do his part even with nothing left but his broken remains.
"Thank you for granting my request, Senior!"
