My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 79: I, the Foundation of the Heavenly Dao, How Will You Stop Me?

As night fell, the Five Elements Forbidden Land remained bright as day.

The massive black clouds in the sky were spreading across the full moon.

The day had come.

Long Pan stood up, his voice deep and resonant: “Since we haven’t waited for him, let’s go first. Perhaps the Master of the Clothes Division will follow.”

The others did not say much in response.

Only the previously cynical person muttered, “Never underestimate human cowardice.”

The Flowering Fairy shot him a sharp look, and he shrank back.

Little Green, among the crowd, had a cold expression, her thoughts unreadable.

At this moment, Tong turned to Yu: “Should we perform an augury before the battle?”

All fifty-two people present looked at Yu.

Yu was the best at divination, with unparalleled skills in the art.

“Alright,” Yu replied, as succinct as ever.

As his voice fell, feathers from his robe continued to drift into the air.

Yu extended his hand, which remained still in the air.

Feathers danced about, and one eventually landed in his hand.

Everyone looked at him expectantly.

The Flowering Fairy spoke bluntly: “What is the omen?”

Yu looked at the feather, his expression unchanged: “A sign of ten deaths with no life.”

The atmosphere grew somber at this revelation.

“Still a sign of ten deaths with no life?” An elder’s face showed clear disappointment.

The Flowering Fairy spoke coldly: “Even if it’s ten deaths, we must still smash a few teeth from those domain-external demons!”

The previously cynical man’s eyes also revealed a look of resolve: “If life is to be spent in vain, better to end it with extermination of demons!”

“The bones I’ve left in the Forbidden Land are rusted. It’s time to move around,” said an old warrior with a severed arm.

His wife had been ensnared by the domain-external demons. He had clung tightly to her, unwilling to let go until a divine being severed his arm, allowing him to survive.

“No need to be so dejected; humans can overcome the heavens,” Tong said, looking at everyone. “We will refine the Black Turtle Shell. After half a day, we will proceed together.”

Everyone had a piece of Black Turtle Shell, a supreme defensive treasure. Refining it would help resist the attacks of the domain-external demons.

This refining would also integrate their energies into a formation.

Little Green silently refined the Black Turtle Shell, remembering what she had said to the Master of the Clothes Division that day.

If you cannot slay the domain-external demons, I will pursue you for eternity!

Moonlight Empire.

A massive altar rose up.

The altar, towering at seven zhang and seven (about 23 meters), had been meticulously constructed over thirty years by the Moonlight Empire.

Standing on the altar was like reaching out to grasp the stars.

The altar was also known as the Moon-Chasing Tower.

At this moment, the sky was filled with the celestial phenomenon of the celestial dog eating the moon.

The entire human world seemed on the brink of darkness.

Thousands of young women prostrated on the ground, heads bowed in contemplation.

On the Moon-Chasing Tower, twelve newly appointed priests were performing a dance.

The moon was the foundation of the Moonlight Empire, revered as a deity.

The celestial dog eating the moon was a disaster for the Moonlight Empire.

At the same time, a small figure, a few thousand meters away, gazed at the altar, her eyes showing complex emotions: “Three hundred years.”

It had been three hundred years since the Master of the Clothes Division left.

Three hundred years felt like fleeting water.

She looked up at the nearby lake, her eyes filled with solitude.

A clear voice came from behind: “Giving the Moonmark to anyone at will, during this celestial dog eating the moon, you might not endure and will be doomed to sink in the mortal world.”

The speaker was a first-generation saintess of the Moonlight family, like the Moon Maiden.

The Moon Maiden remained silent, her eyes showing a crescent moon shape.

Regarding those words, she offered no response—silence was her answer.

Had it not been for the Master, she might have died at the hands of the Hundred Cities Alliance.

She wouldn't have waited for the celestial dog eating the moon.

Back then, she was merely a sacrificial piece.

Seeing the Moon Maiden’s silence, the clear voice suddenly lamented: “Even I, as the Moon Sovereign… have not escaped the fate of being lost?”

Inside the Abyss of Earth’s End, Qi Yuan’s injuries had reached their peak.

He sat half-lying on the ground, leaning against the large door, still blocking it and breathing heavily.

For these days, he had exterminated all the domain-external demons within the Abyss of Earth’s End.

Those demons had hoped for a peaceful death, but Qi Yuan delivered them their end.

Now, the Abyss of Earth’s End was empty, with all the domain-external demons killed by Qi Yuan.

He sat in place, unable to move, his injuries too severe, with blood slowly dripping from him.

The vast Abyss of Earth’s End was only filled with Qi Yuan’s labored breathing and the sound of dripping blood.

“Truly worthy of being chosen by me,” suddenly, a mechanical, indifferent voice echoed.

The once-fallen golden-armored man appeared in front of Qi Yuan, his enormous figure walking towards Qi Yuan, making the sound of armor clanking.

Unlike before, his eyes were now white, giving a chilling effect.

Qi Yuan, sitting there, showed a helpless expression: “I told you, the plot isn’t over yet. Look, the real mastermind has finally shown up.”

“You’re not surprised?” The golden-armored man, who was originally the Celestial God, showed a hint of surprise in his white eyes. “But that doesn’t matter now.”

Qi Yuan looked at the golden-armored man, his body covered in blood, and said: “So the great mastermind hides within my deceased father-in-law’s body. What skill is that? Show your true form; I’m itching to fight a boss.”

The golden-armored man’s eyes, devoid of emotion, spoke with admiration: “I once thought I could only linger on in despair.

Unexpectedly, I found you in the Five Elements Forbidden Land.

What a marvelous body, what terrifying talent.

In just a few months, you’ve advanced from the early stage of the Divine Realm to its peak.

Such a body should not be exposed; it is a gift from the heavens.”

His voice was extremely greedy, like an old monster starving for thousands of years.

Holding his great sword, Qi Yuan listened to the golden-armored man’s greedy words: “Looks like you’ve decided I’m your old man killer.”

As he spoke, he brandished his great sword at the golden-armored man.

Slash.

A flash of sword light cut through the golden-armored man’s massive body, slicing it into seven or eight pieces.

The greedy voice echoed in the air: “Useless; you’ve only killed a puppet, which cannot harm me.

And you are merely a Divine Realm being, not yet at the true peak of the Divine Realm, nor have you touched the Source.

Resistance is futile. Obediently, I will inherit your memories and your body and leave the Abyss of Earth’s End.”

“Old fool, have you gone mad from practicing the Daydreaming Technique? You still want to seize my body?”

The greedy voice paused, then continued: “So it was that wretched bitch who told you, haha, it doesn’t matter. I’ve long set my sights on your body.

Do you remember the divine reflection in the Five Elements Forbidden Land and the Yin-Yang Forbidden Land? I merely used some casual methods, and they influenced their decisions.

All fifty-three divine reflections in the Divine Realm have my traces.

Now, your mind and thoughts are entirely mine!

My thoughts will spread in your mind, continually expanding, occupying your consciousness, and devouring your body.”

This was his scheme.

Originally, he had planned to push forward the Demon Extermination Conference, devouring those in the Divine Realm to replenish some nourishment.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a prodigy like Qi Yuan in the world.

This was heaven’s favor.

As he spoke, his voice began to reverberate in Qi Yuan’s mind.

Qi Yuan, however, was unconcerned: “To be honest, you’re easier to deal with than those domain-external demons.”

In the Five Elements Forbidden Land, Qi Yuan had entered the core abyss and seen the flowing sand of the Five Elements.

He had also seen the Great Sun’s Flower.

Touching the Great Sun’s Flower, he saw some residual memories of the Great Sun.

He heard the Great Sun cursing the domain-external demons.

He heard the Great Sun howling like a lost dog.

At first, Qi Yuan took the Great Sun for a celestial being who had lost a battle against the domain-external demons.

But upon seeing the domain-external demons, Qi Yuan realized that the Great Sun’s so-called demons were not those old men.

Instead, there was someone else.

The July priest had once told him that the Moon Watching Continent used to be called the White Sun Continent.

At that moment, Qi Yuan had a hunch.

The Ascension Platform of Tianjue and the image of the 119th-level golden-armored general under the Great Sun.

Everything had connected in Qi Yuan’s mind.

The Great Sun had once ruled this world and was defeated by an external enemy.

He had survived, inviting domain-external demons to wreak havoc on this world.

Now, he was even eyeing Qi Yuan.

"Those old men could still hurt me, but you... can't." Qi Yuan's eyes were full of contempt, "A big boss in a world where the highest level of NPCs is limited to 99, is really too cowardly, without the majesty to rule all ages. On TV, you could only be a third-rate villain."

Seemingly hit on the tail by Qi Yuan's words, the Great Sun's voice seemed to lose composure. "You can only show off with words! The countless memories of the God Reflections have already affected you. Soon, I will replace you, become you."

"Heh." Qi Yuan sneered, "I was watching 'Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes' when you were probably still playing in the mud. Do you know how many games I've played? How many TV shows and animations I've watched? These things want to influence my mind? Playing a game, looking at an NPC's character synopsis, can affect my consciousness, let a game character replace my brain? You're really funny, I think you've played too many games, seawater has entered your brain."

Of course, Qi Yuan's words were somewhat exaggerated. Those people's memories did indeed affect him. When he saw countless corpses hanging under the ancient Qichun tree, he was somewhat silent. However, he soon came to terms with it. He was just playing a game. Why get so involved, immersed in it?

Every time he logged off, he cleared his cache.

"Saying so many boring words, can you change the outcome? You don't know at all... the gap between you and me! You haven't even broken through the God Realm, how can you contend with me?"

The Great Sun's voice was vast. At his peak, he was the true ruler of the White Sun Continent. His words could set the rules of the world. He established an arena on Tian Jue, watching countless geniuses fight, inviting cultivators from various worlds to watch. The genius who ultimately won would become part of him.

He, who cultivated the Daydream Technique, had ambition, but also a gloomy mind. He feared someone might secretly break through to the God Realm, so he set a rule. In Qi Yuan's view, that rule was that people in this world couldn't break through level 99 to reach level 100. Because after reaching level 100, one might touch the origin, and things might happen that the Great Sun couldn't control.

"Now, you can only become my puppet, only my flesh body, to become a part of me!"

The Great Sun roared madly.

At this moment, his powerful spiritual force swept through Qi Yuan's mind.

This immense spiritual force was stronger than anything Qi Yuan had ever seen before.

Even the memories of the fifty-two Divine beings were nothing compared to it.

Countless pieces of information spread out as the Great Sun began to seize control.

Qi Yuan, covered in blood, sat on the ground, holding his sword.

Faced with such a massive assault, a smile curled on his lips.

“Great Sun, you really are a competent old grandpa.”

“You ask how I’ll stop you?”

“I, the Foundation of the Heavenly Dao, how can you stop me?”

“You want to seize my body?”

“Wrong, I’m going to swallow you!”

The Great Sun was merely the strongest in this world.

But Qi Yuan, in his battles against the outer demons, had been constantly wounded and killing.

In the struggle for survival, he grasped a thread of the truth of death.

He had also obtained the Dao of Heaven fragment from the Yin-Yang Forbidden Land.

After exterminating all the outer demons, he acquired the Dao of Heaven fragment from the Absolute Land.

Now, Qi Yuan had gathered all the Dao of Heaven fragments.

The Great Sun only saw Qi Yuan as a rare genius, thinking that Qi Yuan’s progress was rapid and that he might break through during battle.

He never imagined that every time Qi Yuan killed a small monster, he would gain experience and improve himself.

He also couldn’t fathom that Qi Yuan could obtain Dao of Heaven fragments by clearing the forbidden lands.

That was the Dao of Heaven of an entire realm, even the Great Sun did not dare to covet it.

As the words fell, Qi Yuan closed his eyes.

The scenes in his mind kept shifting.

A great sun shone over the land.

In the vast world, everything revived.

Qi Yuan's consciousness hung above the firmament.

He resembled a satellite or the Eye of the Continent, observing the world.

He saw demons emerging from the azure sea and human tribes emerging ragged from the mountains.

He saw hundreds of clans fighting, demons tearing apart mountains.

He saw human tribes competing, a great leader riding an iron-eating beast being beheaded by a single sword!

He saw countless demons devouring, an unparalleled giant demon twisting its body, causing the land for three thousand miles to dry up.

He saw flowers blooming and withering, icebergs melting, heavenly maidens bathing, and monkeys urinating.

He even saw a stone absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, eventually exploding and transforming into a humanoid creature.

This humanoid being, born holy, spoke words that became reality, and was the darling of the world.

It walked to the river to drink water, a millennium-old fairy fruit floating over.

It slept on the ground, with a piece of armor falling beside it.

Its cultivation surpassed that of ordinary beings.

It was as if it were the favorite of the heavens.

In just a few thousand years, this humanoid being became the ruler of this world, slaying various demon overlords and the human emperor.

Countless memories spread out.

Qi Yuan saw the humanoid being rampaging across the world.

In his vision, there were almost only the magnificent figures of the humanoid being.

He became somewhat absorbed, imagining himself as that humanoid being, stirring up endless blood rain in the world.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan cursed, “Sending women? Even committing violations? Not as good as Dragon Ao Tian!”

“I’ve seen enough of Dragon Ao Tian, this pompous brat is too much. I need a change of taste.”

He no longer paid attention to the humanoid being.

He watched a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law argue, ants carrying grains, and hermaphroditic creatures mating.

He saw everything in this world.

He had the Dao of Heaven fragments.

His vision was not limited to the humanoid being.

Otherwise, his mind would be confined to the life of the humanoid being.

It was not a third-person perspective but a first-person perspective.

Eventually, after experiencing endless years, he became the Great Sun.

This was also the Great Sun’s plan.

Unfortunately, the Great Sun had no idea that Qi Yuan had already gathered all the Dao of Heaven fragments.

Now, he was the Dao of Heaven.

Qi Yuan viewed the world as if he were a player observing the background and introduction of a world.

He was sometimes immersed and sometimes critiqued the bugs.

He did not know how much time had passed.

The humanoid being, which Qi Yuan had forgotten, suddenly emitted a cry.

“No!”

“Why don’t you look at me!”

“I am your everything!”

“I am you!”

Like a balloon filled with water being pricked by a needle.

The humanoid being shattered, becoming a fragment in Qi Yuan’s mind.

Qi Yuan was completely unaware of this, still exploring the world.

The world was too vast, with many things left to see.

In the Absolute Land, Qi Yuan’s eyes remained tightly closed, his hand still firmly gripping the sword, sitting on the steps.

In the vast Absolute Land.

Suddenly, a light as bright as the sun flashed.

The entire Absolute Land was filled with white light.

A gigantic roar echoed.

“Who are you!”

“I... will kill you!”

The soul that had seized control dispersed, and a massive stone appeared in the Absolute Land.

This stone burned with white flames.

The white radiance filled the entire Absolute Land.

That was the last remaining form of the Great Sun.

The gigantic stone emitted an aura far surpassing that of the Domain Gods, making the space itself tremble.

With a mighty roar, the entire Absolute Land reverberated with the words “Who are you!”

“Rebellious son, I am your father!” At this moment, Qi Yuan, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

He looked at the giant stone with disdain, “I take back what I said earlier. I don’t have such an ugly son.”

Though Qi Yuan had obtained the complete Dao of Heaven.

This Great Sun could be considered his son.

But Qi Yuan had no intention of acknowledging it.

Too shameful.

“You should die!”

“I don’t know how you managed to wear away my remnants!”

“But in this world, you, who cannot break through to the Domain Gods, can only die!”

“It’s all you, it’s all you. Why don’t you just peacefully accept death!”

“Why must you force me!”

The Great Sun roared, suffering and bellowing.

Unable to seize control, he could only struggle to survive.

Now, although heavily wounded and near death, he could not exert his full strength.

However, he was still the strongest in this world.

So, without true danger, his true form dared to appear.

“Die!”

A blazing white light spread towards Qi Yuan, a power comparable to the origin itself.

Qi Yuan saw this and murmured, “I suddenly feel that the outer demons had a point; one should uphold filial piety.”

However, when facing the Great Sun’s strongest attack.

Qi Yuan’s lips once again curved into a smile.

He softly thought to himself.

Upgrade.
