Chapter 62

Seeing this, Long Ge crossed his arms and stood guard by the side, saying, "It was worth my efforts to guide him; he has finally begun to light up his own star."

The *Great Scripture of Virtue* has forty-eight great powers, one of which is called "Star Birth and Heaven Embedding." This power involves using one's divine nature to correspond with the stars in the heavens to give birth to a star.

When a star is born and embedded into the five major star regions, one can harness the power of these regions to refine the body with starlight.

This is the method consistently used by the Celestial Deities. The stars in the Fivefold Supreme Heaven are used by the various Celestial Deities to draw starlight and refine their divine bodies. The direct descendants of the Celestial Emperor in the Central Taiyi Star Region, due to the supreme status of the Taiyi Star Region, receive twice as much starlight as others.

Xun Yi's family tradition is rooted in the virtue of wood. Although his sword technique has not yet reached a higher level, the Wood Command within his body resonates with the power "Spring Revival of Withered Trees." Coupled with the deliberate stimulation of his sword technique, a green light slowly rises, drawing the scattered starlight and mystic power from the Supreme Heaven.

Dongfang Suixing, the star symbolizing the virtue of wood, is full of vitality and the power to transform all things. When Xun Yi's divine nature surged, a fragment of a star was born in the Suixing Star Region.

"You hurried him to give birth to a star, are you so worried that I will let him light up the Wenchang Star?" A purple aura flashed in the void, and the incarnation of the Wenchang Emperor appeared.

Long Ge's expression was cold: "Does the Emperor not have this intention?" As a direct descendant of the Celestial Emperor, Long Ge did not trust this emperor.

Seeing Long Ge's attitude, the Wenchang Emperor frowned: "After all, the prince is a descendant of His Majesty. Why hold a grudge over past events?"

"Grudge?" Long Ge laughed, a bitter laugh: "Were my grandfather and father not also of that bloodline? How did they die?"

"Did you not hear the words of your great-grandmother before she died?" The Wenchang Emperor recalled the words of the Empress before her death, his face showing a complex expression. She was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, and her final fate was something he had witnessed with his own eyes.

Because of this, Long Ge's lineage was implicated.

"The events of the past were not what His Majesty wished, but the world is unpredictable. After all, His Majesty is also the king of the dragon race, in addition to the support of the human race."

The conflict between humans and dragons, even if the Dragon Emperor wanted to ease it, one was his wife's clan that helped him ascend the throne, and the other was his mother's clan where he was born. How could the Dragon Emperor choose?

"The world is unpredictable," Long Ge sneered, no longer speaking, and quietly watched Xun Yi light up his star.

"All I am doing is trying to resolve the conflict between humans and dragons. Xun Yi is a descendant of Xun Mao. If he can light up the Wenchang Star—"

"He would just be a lackey of the old Dragon Emperor," Long Ge said with disdain. Suddenly, a闷雷 (thunder) exploded in the air. But before it could fall, it was neutralized by a blood curse from Long Ge.

The blood curse radiated supreme divine power, and a goddess's image could be seen in the light.

The Wenchang Emperor's expression changed slightly, knowing that this was a curse personally cast by the Empress for Long Ge. Even he could not harm him in the slightest.

"Don't think we are fools. Everyone knows what happened to the Xun family back then." Long Ge said bluntly, "If Xun Mao had not gone to the Abyss of Demons, those people would not have dared to act."

The more he mentioned, the more he touched upon the great chaos in the Heavenly Court a hundred years ago. The Wenchang Emperor dared not mention the taboo of the past and turned to Xun Yi: "The 'Star Birth and Heaven Embedding' power in the *Great Scripture of Virtue* is a blessing from the Heavenly Dao, along with the three special powers of 'Ninefold Primordial Transformation' and 'Establishing the Dao in Harmony with Heaven.' Although 'Star Birth and Heaven Embedding' can be randomly comprehended before the fifth level, helping him give birth to a star now will only lead to揠苗助长 (over-hastening) and will not have a good outcome."

The *Ninefold Primordial Power of Supreme Virtue* records forty-eight great powers. At each of the nine levels, there are five great powers, totaling forty-five great powers, plus three special powers, forming the cultivation system of a supreme divine being.

"You don't need to worry about that." Long Ge's face was tense, staring intently at Xun Yi. When the star fragment was born in the Suixing Star Region due to Xun Yi's divine nature, Long Ge suddenly moved.

A golden dragon soared into the sky, and a blue star near the central star in the Northern Star Region burst with divine light.

Streams of primordial water vapor spewed out, white waves surging into the heavens. Long Ge gathered this water vapor and forcibly used the power of the five elements to transform the primordial water virtue into the vitality of the wood virtue.

The green vapor slowly entered the Suixing Star Region, transforming into a gentle rain above the star fragment born by Xun Yi.

When a Celestial Deity gives birth to their own star and moves it within the five major star regions, they receive the illumination of primordial starlight each time they get closer to the five main stars. This continuously transforms the essence of the star, eventually turning it into a primordial star and comprehending the primordial way.

The cultivation of a Celestial Deity at the fifth level, in addition to the star movement in the five levels of heaven, also includes the trial of the sixth level of the Dao domain. Only by completely passing these trials can one become a true primordial deity.

However, Xun Yi's star birth was too early. At the first level of heaven, his divine nature had just awakened, and the star born, even with Long Ge's assistance, was only the size of a palm. It floated at the outer edge of the Eastern Star Region, absorbing starlight to gradually grow the star.

"His virtue seed is of heavenly quality, and he should be able to cultivate the twelve great virtues of the *Great Scripture of Virtue*," the Wenchang Emperor said with some regret. If such a talent could be brought into the imperial lineage, it could at least ease the conflict between humans and dragons. With the support of the Celestial Emperor, he might even compete for the position of the Fortune Emperor.

But now—

"No need for the Emperor to worry." Long Ge's face was tense: "I don't wish for him to ascend to the imperial throne. As long as he lives a happy life and isn't manipulated by people like you, that's better than anything. The Fortune Emperor is nothing more than a sacrificial offering."

The Wenchang Emperor was silent. The replacement of the Fortune Emperor is the most frequent among all the imperial deities. Even the martial deities' replacements are not as frequent as the Fortune Emperor's.

Xun Yi's own destiny is very strong, and he is only a deity at the first level of heaven. Judging from this, the supreme Fortune Deity must have an even greater virtue.

According to the supreme virtue of the Fortune Emperor, he is the first strategic target for suppression by foreign deities in inter-world wars. The danger is ten times greater than that of the War Deity.

The fortune of these Fortune Deities can determine the outcome of a battlefield. Even in death, their dying strength can bring misfortune to opposing deities.

Looking at the war history over the years, almost every major battle has been accompanied by the death of a Fortune Deity. Several Fortune Emperors have been besieged and killed by the gods, without exception.

Xun Yi opened his eyes and remotely sensed a small star at the edge of the Eastern Star Region. The star continuously poured starlight into Xun Yi's soul, transforming his divine nature.

Seeing this, the Wenchang Emperor transformed into primordial energy and disappeared.

Long Ge faced Xun Yi, changing his expression to a smile: "Now that you have given birth to a star and embedded it in the heavens, your name is recorded in the divine register, making you an unofficial member of the Heavenly Court. In the future, if you work hard, you can officially join the outer circle of the Fortune Deities after becoming a third-level Fortune Deity."

The Heavenly Court is too vast, and even the deity lords do not focus on cultivating such a minor deity at the first level of heaven. The third level is a threshold; only at the third level will one enter the various deity lineages and choose a divine path. After the fifth level, one truly enjoys the benefits of the Heavenly Court as a formal deity.

Long Ge cast a spell, sending Xun Yi back to the mortal world.

Opening his eyes, he found himself lying by the table. Li Xinghong was holding a wine jar, smacking his lips.

That night, Li Xinghong celebrated with him, and the two got drunk at the dinner table, so Xun Yi's soul was taken away by the Wenchang Emperor.

Now that his soul has returned, Aunt Xue, who had been secretly guarding him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and came to clean up the mess: "Young master, if there's nothing else, rest early." She subconsciously glanced at the Dingchang pen in Xun Yi's hand.

Aunt Xue did not ask more, as the divine power attributes just now had already explained everything.
