Chapter 365: Chapter 170 The Weirdness of Sun Star_1
Despite the fact that Shen Yuan’s connection to the Donghua Emperor seemed preposterously far-fetched at its core.
It is undeniable that Shen Yuan was indeed the one closest to the seat of the Donghua Emperor in all the realms.
Even a myriad of years ago, Shen Yuan’s existence to some extent replaced the Donghua Emperor, forcing that monarch of the Sun Star into a state of unwilled slumber.
The most crucial arrangement of the Heavenly Court governing all realms was the Incense Offering Divinity Path, and the Gods Purging Divine Power was its origin. In fact, one could say that without the Gods Purging Divine Power, the Heavenly Court that governed all realms would not exist.
For the Heavenly Court, the importance of the Gods Purging Divine Power even surpassed that of the unique Heavenly General Great Divine Power of all worlds. Only by wielding the Gods Purging Divine Power could one shepherd all beings across the myriad realms.
It was precisely because of the presence of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power that the Donghua Emperor was able to hold the highest position under the Four Great Emperors and command the myriad immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court.
The significance of the Gods Purging Divine Power to the Donghua Emperor even surpassed that of the Sun Star Monarch’s seat.
Had it been a myriad of years ago, even with the Gods Purging Divine Power in hand, Shen Yuan would not dare to act recklessly.
The connection between the Primal Chaos Realm and the Upper World was not yet severed, and the Heavenly Court still tightly controlled everything in all realms. Even though Shen Yuan held the Gods Purging Divine Power, his own strength was too weak. The Heavenly Court could dispatch any immortal to suppress Shen Yuan.
Moreover, although the Donghua Emperor was forced into slumber a myriad of years ago, he was after all the Supreme Emperor who commanded the myriad immortals and gods. If Shen Yuan’s existence were to be perceived by him, just a single thought would be sufficient to erase Shen Yuan.
In such circumstances, Shen Yuan could only look upon this golden opportunity and absolutely not dare to make any overstepping actions.
However, the Primal Chaos Realm after a myriad of years was entirely different.
The Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor’s Great Schism disconnected from the Heavenly Court for a full ten thousand years, and even if the Heavenly Court wanted to act, it would be difficult to break the blockade of the Great Schism.
Furthermore, over such a long time, a change had occurred in the Upper World. The fall of the Donghua Emperor and the subsequent lack of a master for the Gods Purging Divine Power was the best proof of that.
In such an environment, there were no longer any restrictions on the Gods Purging Divine Power that Shen Yuan held. He could even replace the Heavenly Court Decrees with the Gods Purging Divine Power to nullify the River Ji Dragon Sovereign’s position and decree that all beings in the River Ji could be the Dragon Sovereign.
It is known that the River Ji is one of the Four Waterways, relating to the ancestral veins of the Aquatic Tribe. If it were a myriad of years earlier, to remove the Dragon Sovereign’s authority would at least require reporting to the Heavenly Court, and the matter would be negotiated and decided by the Donghua Emperor along with the Four Great Emperors.
Shen Yuan’s actions, if taken a myriad of years ago, would definitely be a provocation to the majesty of the Heavenly Court and a shaking of the foundations of the Divinity Path, enough to bring down the wrath of the Four Great Emperors.
In a small sense, this was merely a struggle between the Aquatic Tribe and the Human Clan of the lower realms and not worthy of attention.
But in a broader sense, Shen Yuan’s act of dismissing the Dragon Sovereign on behalf of the Heavenly Court was tantamount to stealing the foundation of the Incense Offering Divinity Path that the Heavenly Court used to govern all realms.
In just an instant, there would be a Constellation Bureau Star Monarch blockading the Primal Chaos Realm, the thunderous voices of General Navagraha of the Lightning Bureau in the Ninth Heavens resonating, with the Exalted One personally leading celestial soldiers and generals to suppress an entire realm. Everyone and everything involved with the Dragon Sovereign’s power would be completely obliterated by the wrathful fire of the Exalted One from the Lightning Bureau.
Compared to decreeing that all beings in the River Ji could be the Dragon Sovereign, Shen Yuan’s act of enshrining the Great Sun as a local deity within a small heavenly realm was a trivial matter.
If this hadn’t been such a sensational event, with far-reaching causes and effects, why would the system offer something like the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption, a method of the Heavenly General, as a hidden task reward?
Of course, all these premises were built on the assumption that the Great Schism had not occurred and the Heavenly Court still governed all realms.
A myriad of years after the Great Schism, Shen Yuan’s moves only caused a stir within the Primal Chaos Realm and did not attract the attention of the Heavenly Court.
After such comparisons, Shen Yuan realized that the crisis the Heavenly Court was facing might be far beyond his imagination.
But for Shen Yuan, how was this not also an opportunity?
The Gods Purging Divine Power he held was a legitimate authority of the Heavenly Court, the very essence of the Incense Offering Divinity Path. If used correctly, he could definitely pluck a few strands of wool from the Heavenly Court.
It is known that although the Great Schism has severed the connection between the Primal Chaos Realm and the Upper World, it does not mean that the Primal Chaos Realm is truly utterly isolated from the rest of the world.
Spirit Energy could be severed, Primordial Elemental Qi could be blocked outside the world, but one thing the Primal Chaos Realm could not avoid no matter what was the sun, moon, and stars above the firmament.
“The sun, moon, and stars seen within all realms are actually projections from the circumpolar stars onto the various realms, and naturally, the Primal Chaos Realm is no exception.
Even with the Great Schism, the Primal Chaos Realm still needs the radiance of the Great Sun, still needs the stars of the heavens to illuminate all things. In such circumstances, stars become the only connection between Primal Chaos Realm and the external world.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes shone brighter, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became clearer.
“The circumpolar stars are the foundation of the Constellation Bureau, and the circumpolar celestial deities they decree are also a vital part of the Incense Offering Divinity Path. It could be said that the Gods Purging Divine Power also possesses the qualification to wield the circumpolar stars.
Of course, to truly influence stars with Gods Purging would inevitably require the divine power to reach a higher realm of mastery, at least my barely-first-tier Gods Purging Divine Power would be insufficient to have an effect.
But if combined with Star Astrology Divine Power, fundamental to the path of stars, one controlling the Divinity Path and the other affecting the path of stars, the combination of the two is far from as simple as a sum of 1+1.
That way, attracting the circumpolar stars would surely be no problem.”
“The Gods Purging Divine Power was the most important prerogative of the Donghua Emperor, and in some respect, it had already become bound with the Sun Star.
The Sun, being one of the circumpolar stars, now lacked a master with the fall of the Donghua Emperor. If I combine Gods Purging Divine Power with Star Astrology Divine Power, it is not necessarily impossible to leverage the foremost star among the Navagraha.”
