From within the blazing corona of the sun, where endless light and heat radiated and the searing space twisted and shattered in silence, a hand stretched out and seized the floating golden chest.

As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, Chen Chu wielded absolute authority within the solar system. Yet this time, even while tearing apart spacetime across hundreds of thousands of kilometers at the star's core, he hadn't relied on the World Force. Instead, he merely used a fragment of his divine speed ability.

Standing at the very peak of the ancient titan level, only a single step short of becoming a true spirit of principles, Chen Chu's strength had long since surpassed ordinary comprehension. Not only could he casually shatter Jupiter or Saturn with a single blow, and unleash destructive force capable of tearing apart an ordinary star, he also commanded abilities that rivalled myths and legends.

He could alter the environment of heaven and earth, move instantly across vast distances, twist the flow of time. Immortality, changing his appearance at will and flight were the most basic of things. He had even experienced world-creation itself, condensing and evolving a true world, and holding up an entire star system upon his shoulders. Such innate abilities made him more powerful than any immortal of the legends.

In the crushing depths of the star, a figure a hundred thousand meters tall, with three faces and ten arms, sat cross-legged. His thirty-thousand-meter-long hair cascaded like a black waterfall, whipping and burning in the solar flames.

Behind him, where the planar world had fused into one, a divine wheel a hundred thousand meters in diameter slowly revolved, appearing as though it were forged of solid gold. It was formed of two concentric layers; the outer layer was sixty thousand meters wide, its surface carved with golden, blue, purple, and yellow hollowed patterns, rotating clockwise with a domineering and oppressive aura. The inner layer was dark purple, like solid metal, spinning counterclockwise and radiating a profound aura of all things returning to one. Bathed in this light, Chen Chu resembled an ancient demon god born from the sun billions of years ago, majestic and sacred.

He lowered his massive head slightly, eyes gleaming. Before him, the golden chest, which was capable of enduring the corona's millions of degrees and the tearing pull of planetary gravity, silently broke apart.

Countless white, blue, and golden Life Crystals poured out in an instant, their dense life aura spreading wide. Every single crystal was at least level 5, numbering over a hundred thousand. Among them were nearly a thousand level 9 crystals, harvested from quasi-mythical colossal beasts. By rough estimation, the attribute points they could yield exceeded thirty million. Even Chen Chu couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

At his command, the Human Alliance had sent forth vast numbers of mythical kings, heavenly kings, and chief gods, to slaughter all high-level mutated beasts and colossal beasts in the surrounding regions. Any beast that reached its racial peak and condensed a Life Crystal had been destroyed, its crystalline core taken.

It was clear that for the next decade, mythical-level colossal beasts around the alliance would fall into scarcity, securing the safety of pioneers expanding into the outer world and greatly promoting development.

"Seems I have done another good deed in passing." A faint smile crossed his otherwise cold and dignified face. His ten arms stretched out and swept all the Life Crystals into his grasp.

Convert all of these Life Crystals into attribute points.The instant he issued the mental command, he sensed a formless power emanating from the depths of his soul, enveloping all of the crystals.

Boom!

A tsunami of life energy erupted from within more than a hundred thousand crystals, transforming into an invisible power that poured into his body and vanished. Before his eyes, a transparent page appeared, its numbers soaring at blinding speed. One million, three million, eight million, ten million... In just a few breaths, all of the crystals were spent, and the final number halted at 34,120,487.

More than thirty-four million attribute points. This was enough to strengthen several weapons from nothing to world-level, or to enhance hundreds of divine transformation abilities. Of course, that was provided his life genes, or those of the Destructive Dragon Emperor, could bear the load.

This was the advantage of commanding a great power. With the attribute points converted, his accumulated creation power was nearly complete. On the Dragon Emperor's side, the flow of creation aura had already ceased, signaling its breakthrough was nearly finished.

Chen Chu paused only briefly before another thought reverberated in his mind.Burn one million attribute points. Enter the epiphany state.

In the same instant he invoked epiphany, Chen Chu directed all of the accumulated creation aura toward his heart.

Boom!

His heart burst open, and nine immense golden gates, layered atop one another, appeared within his body, exuding unbearable heat and vitality. These were the Nine-Fold Heavenly Gates, condensed from the Dark Star rune, Heavenly Gate rune, and the Dragon Emperor's bloodline. These runes stored, absorbed, and transformed his boundless vitality.

As an ancient-titan-level demon god possessing the body of a colossal beast, Chen Chu's true form was hundreds of times stronger than his peers. His vitality was unimaginably vast, his endurance and recovery unmatched. Thus, his body was usually maintained at ninety-nine percent, always just shy of its peak, in a state of perpetual strain.

Only in this way did his body instinctively absorb transcendent energy from the heavens and earth, constantly generating surging vitality until the Heavenly Gates reached their limit. That stored vitality was then compressed without end, refined into a concentrated dragon blood power. Each gate contained greater pressure than the last, the ninth gate's weight as great as a black hole. In such conditions, the compressed dragon blood power became unimaginably potent, especially the ninth gate. When it erupted, Chen Chu's base physical strength, explosive power, and defense multiplied more than five hundred times.

As the creation aura poured in, the Heavenly Gates shook violently, radiating dazzling golden light. Within that brilliance, countless ability runes appeared, weaving into intricate and profound runic sequence chains that continued to grow ever more complex and unfathomable. Gradually, deep within the ninth gate, the faint frame of a transparent doorway emerged, surrounded by the phantom of a black-and-red beast that resembled an eastern divine dragon.

As his abilities evolved toward a higher stage, Chen Chu, immersed in epiphany, let his mind fully sink into his body. Guided by a mysterious inspiration, he consumed the power of his divine soul, using sheer will to drive the evolution of the ability runes at greater speed. With every passing moment, countless new runic chains were born out of nothingness.

Time slipped away. In the blink of an eye, it was April 1st, a bright and sunny day. That morning, as countless people stepped out to head for work, they froze in shock. The rising sun seemed different. Around it loomed a faintly visible phantom of a colossal golden gate, encircled by a black-and-red dragon stretching for millions of kilometers.

It wasn't only ordinary folk who noticed. Even the human kings stationed throughout the Solar System noticed the anomaly. That towering golden gate phantom resembled a passageway to the heavens itself, standing at the system's core. Though it emanated no oppressive aura, it somehow stirred panic in the hearts of those kings, an inexplicable dread.

It was as if it represented some dreadful power, one that, once unleashed, would destroy heaven and earth.

On Venus's surface, a golden divine tree ten thousand meters tall stood rooted, its lush branches unfurled. Beneath it, a Heavenly Feathered deity gazed in alarm toward the sun. "Your Highness, what is that gate?"

Unfurling her three pairs of radiant white wings like a blazing seraph, Anstira slowly shook her head. "I do not know. But it should be related to the Divine Might King."

That Heavenly Feathered deity realized his own question had been pointless.

Everyone knew the human race's supreme powerhouse had gone into seclusion deep within the sun. For such a terrifying phenomenon to appear now, there was no doubt it was tied to him. Only such an existence as his could rouse such a spectacle.

As expected of him, the power he holds has already surpassed anything we can imagine.This thought echoed in the hearts of every deity, chief god, and human king stationed across the Solar System.

The anomaly spread quickly, reaching the mythical world. There, supreme powerhouses, divine kings, and faerie kings, along with countless chief gods and heavenly kings, immediately returned.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Beyond the Blue Planet, towering figures descended, each exuding immense pressure. Principles surged about them, intertwining invisibly and shaking the starry skies. All of them looked toward the sun, their faces filled with solemnity, shock, and awe.

Compared to Chen Chu, who still advanced at an unending pace, their own progress felt stagnant. Even though they had been shaken by similar sights before, the scene still left their hearts heavy, their voices silenced.

Meanwhile, in Wujiang City, Shi Feitong, who had waited for more than a month, raised her head. A faint smile touched her lips. "Big Brother Chen, are you finally coming out of seclusion?"

Before the gaze of countless mighty beings, the golden Heavenly Gate grew clearer and clearer. The very instant it was about to fully condense, the entire Solar System brightened. Endless golden light blossomed from nothing, flooding the cosmos. It covered the Blue Planet's skies and seas, spreading like petals of golden flowers. At the same time, faint sacred chants arose in the void, as though billions of angels were celebrating and offering blessings.

Such a grand celestial phenomenon left everyone trembling with awe and exhilaration, their gazes locked on the golden gate wreathed within the black-and-red dragon phantom. Countless people believed this to be a heavenly omen, a blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

However, deep within the sun, Luo Fei had also been stirred awake. Her expression was heavy, yet tinged with relief. "Fortunately, Chen Chu is breaking through here in the Solar System. If this had happened in the mythical world, the consequences would have been dire."

Through her perception, she felt the very origin of the Solar System's world surging violently. It was as if the world itself instinctively yearned to obliterate that golden gate, to erase it as something that should not exist. Yet, because the gate belonged to Chen Chu, the one who upheld the heavens, the savior of this world, then instead of unleashing destruction, the Solar System's world force transformed into endless golden petals. Even its annihilating intent became a hymn echoing across the cosmos.

Before countless eyes, the golden Heavenly Gate finally became real. At that moment, everyone faintly heard a dragon's roar of unimaginable power. All cultivators, kings, heavenly kings, and divine kings felt their strength freeze for a heartbeat, as though it had vanished from their bodies, impossible to sense. Their faces drained of color, and terror filled their hearts.

Luckily, the phenomenon lasted but a breath. In the next instant, their power returned as if nothing had happened, like an illusion. In that fleeting moment, the golden gate spanning the Solar System vanished.

The golden petals, the sacred chants, everything was gone. The world grew quiet once more, a silence so unnatural it bred nameless fear.

Deep within the sun, Chen Chu, now awakened, fixed his gaze on the transparent page before him.

This breakthrough hadn't drastically altered Chen Chu's state; his cultivation merely stepped into the peak of the ancient titan level. His true form, strengthened by the fusion of supreme principles and the feedback from the Destructive Dragon Emperor's breakthrough, rose from 351 points to 499.

On the surface, it was an increase of just over 140 points, not even double. In reality, however, his strength had multiplied dozens of times. The most significant change lay not in his raw attributes, but in the Tenth Gate: the Dark Star Heavenly Domain. It rivaled the Dragon Emperor's life-bound ability, condensed at the moment of its breakthrough to the true spirit level. This was a power that belonged only to primordial existences.

A thousandfold amplification of base strength, stacked atop his already terrifying true form, allowed Chen Chu to unleash power capable of shattering principles and annihilating all true spirits at the peak of the ancient titan level. Even though the note specified the amplification only applied to his current form, it was still incomparably powerful and invincible.

Chen Chu exhaled slowly, suppressing the excitement in his heart. His gaze swept across the remarks under his soul ability before he rose to his feet. The restriction of entering the Divine Fusion state only once more was something he had already sensed when he separated his two souls with the Creation Origin. Thus, he wasn't surprised when the attribute page confirmed this.

The effect of Divine Fusion was already impossibly strong on its own. If they could merge and split repeatedly, each time gaining insights into higher realms of power, it would have been absurdly broken.

Boom!

The sunlight flared brightly as a figure appeared. In that instant, voices of congratulations rang out across the Solar System, from the kings, heavenly kings, chief gods, divine kings, and supreme beings of the Human Alliance.

"Congratulations to the Divine Might Emperor for a successful seclusion!"
