As the Sun's Source broke free from the stars, the charm of the Goddess of Beauty was purified by the golden light, and the evil demigods shook off the influence of the charm, watching this scene with surprise and anger.
Uncle fled from his chosen successor, his back view like a stray dog, completely lacking presence. The divine power of space, lightning, wind, and domain dissipated in the golden light.
Shura was also running, but not away from the sun, but braving its scorching heat to rush towards Yuanshi Tianzun.
This was the only chance to kill Yuanshi Tianzun.
At this moment, his divine power was rapidly evaporating, all skills were in a state of failure, but relying on his powerful body, he raced against the sun, killing his way to Yuanshi Tianzun.
The Lord of the Stars raised a black round moon in his left hand, releasing wisps of pure black moonlight, draping a black velvet robe over Shura.
*Chi chi...*
The black robe was constantly evaporating and purifying, yet constantly being replenished.
Shura's speed soared.
At the same time, a fountain of starlight surged from the top of the Lord of the Stars' head, forming a high wall stretching hundreds of kilometers, shielding the sleeping demigods from the sunlight, protecting their sleep quality.
The Xie family's ancestor snorted coldly, bit his fingertip, and drew a spell on the Demon Refining Pot with golden blood, then threw it out.
The Demon Refining Pot flew across the sky, its lid popping open, and braving the pressure of the Sun's Source, it streaked a cyan-golden light in the air, covering Shura's head, the mouth of the pot turning over.
*Boom!*
The Demon Refining Pot, expanded dozens or hundreds of times, slammed heavily on the ground, covering Shura.
*Dang dang dang...*
A blacksmith-like roar came from inside the Demon Refining Pot, but it only lasted for two seconds before the pot was blasted away by a huge force.
Shura reappeared, holding a bronze scimitar, furious, but could only watch helplessly as the Sun's Source crashed into Yuanshi Tianzun's chest.
The golden light that illuminated the dungeon disappeared.
Yuanshi Tianzun shuddered, suddenly raising his head, two golden lights shooting from his eyes, straight into the sky.
Wisps of golden flames overflowed from his body, wandering around, forming a spherical domain with a diameter of ten meters.
Golden crows drilled out of his chest, abdomen, mouth, and ears, circling him, then drilling back, again and again.
Zhang Yuanqing hung in the domain, maintaining the action of raising his head and arms, motionless for a long time.
He was accommodating the Sun's Source, he was assimilating with it.
As a Night Wanderer (Riyoushen) who majored in the sun, he did not need the power of the stars to neutralize the sun, because majoring in the power of the sun was itself improving his ability to withstand it.
Of course, the risk would be higher than the Lord of the Stars.
Shura rushed forward, raising the Chiyou Blade, and slashed at the spherical domain.
*Boom!*
The moment the blade struck the domain, scorching golden flames erupted, tearing apart the black robe on his body, and devouring his body.
Shura staggered back, the flesh on his face, chest, abdomen, and thighs almost completely evaporated, revealing a half-red skeleton, while the flesh on his back and buttocks was intact.
Unlike when the Lord of the Stars accommodated the Sun's Source, the former had the Lord of the Stars to neutralize it, so the Sun's Source was not so overbearing.
Yuanshi Tianzun accommodated the sun without any force to neutralize it. Shura's action was equivalent to cutting the Sun's Source with a knife. To be able to survive was enough to prove his strength.
Shura retreated to the Lord of the Stars, his flesh growing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his appearance with three heads and eight arms, and said in a deep voice: "The Sun's Source suppresses everything, external forces cannot interfere. Next, we can only wait and see, praying that his accommodation of the Sun's Source fails."
The Lord of the Stars glanced at him for a moment, saw that he was unharmed, retracted his gaze, and looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in the distance.
He was silent for a few seconds, as if accepting this outcome, and then looked at the void demigods, saying something that made the faces of the evil demigods change drastically: "Yuanshi Tianzun is the Demon Lord."
The Fear Heavenly King suddenly looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, stunned.
The two Illusion Gods of the Nihility Sect, the Gu Dragon of the Psychic Society, and the Xie family's ancestor all showed expressions as if the Lord of the Stars had gone mad, or their ears were playing tricks on them.
With the status and experience of demigods, they could not immediately accept the words of the Lord of the Stars.
The void demigod shrugged, changing his previous incompetent rage, and returning to his lazy posture, even wanting to do a rap, smiling and saying: "Everyone says that you, the Lord of the Stars, can calculate everything in the world, did you only realize it now?"
He had a smug look on his face.
The Lord of the Stars was silent for a few seconds, and slowly said: "No wonder you and the Goddess of Beauty were determined to support Yuanshi Tianzun, even at the expense of disregarding the real situation, and even at the expense of falling out with the orderly camp. You knew from the beginning that the Demon Lord, no, Yuanshi Tianzun, was already half the Lord of the Sun. As long as he enters the dungeon, and merges with the soul fragments integrated with the Sun's Source, he can restore his position."
The void demigod smiled and said: "After the Demon Lord's account was ruined, the Goddess of Beauty and I were in anxiety. Yuanshi chose to exchange the Taiyin Source fragments and perish with Cai Qinhe last October, and the Goddess of Beauty and I were even more anxious - I actually suspected that Yuanshi's death was also related to you, but there has been no evidence."
Because the return of the stars and the Taiyin meant that the opening of the Sun dungeon was entering a countdown, but at that time, he was only a Saint.
"After that, you and Lingtu secretly promoted the conflict between the two camps, shielded the Merit List and designed the Fenglei twin gods to cannibalize and encircle the Sea Emperor... All of these were forcing the orderly camp to use the fragments of the Light Compass and open the Sun dungeon."
"The time left for us was too little, too little."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Lingtu. If he hadn't sent out the San Cai Dan's pill formula, Yuanshi would not have been able to advance to level nine and gain the qualification to accommodate the sun."
"However, the pill formula is the pill formula, and the problem of the main medicine being difficult to find still plagued me, so when you summoned the demigod meeting and forced me and the Goddess of Beauty, I keenly seized the opportunity, which was to send Lingtu into the Sun dungeon."
"Without his protection, the Night Rose Protector in reality would not be difficult to find. Heh, this kid is worthy of being my chosen successor. Without me teaching him, he knows how to use the power of the knight profession."
The Goddess of Beauty interjected with a smile: "Then, the Void and I were waiting for him to advance to level nine, waiting for him to descend into the dungeon."
The Lord of the Stars looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was concentrating on accommodating the Sun's Source, and his voice was layered and magnificent: "If I'm not mistaken, he is Zhang Zizhen's offspring, right?"
The void demigod clapped his hands: "Worthy of being the Lord of the Stars, as resourceful as a god, as resourceful as a god."
"You gave the fragments of the Taiyin Source to the Demon Lord, and the core fragments of the Light Compass were also given to him. If it weren't for blood relations, how could you be so devoted? I always thought that the core fragments of the Light Compass were in your hands and were the biggest reliance for you to support Yuanshi Tianzun, but I didn't expect that they had already been integrated into the Sun's Source." The Lord of the Stars' face was without joy or sorrow, and his starlight-filled eyes stared: "I consider my deduction skills unparalleled in the world, with the past and future clear at a glance, but I didn't discover your secret scheme. The Demon Lord did indeed disappear in body and spirit that day. Void, how did you hide it from me?"
While waiting for Yuanshi Tianzun to accommodate the Sun's Source, the void demigod said: "This is a long story. The support plan for the Lord of the Sun actually didn't start with me, but was formulated by Zhang Zizhen."
"Back then, after learning the secrets of the Lingjing, he realized that Lingtu's fall was inevitable and could not be stopped, so he began to formulate a support plan for the Lord of the Sun. The first step was to tear apart the fragments of the Taiyin Source from the resurrected Lingtu."
"The secret of the Taiyin is the core part of the plan. Without the protection of the secret, all the plans would be a public clown show in your and Lingtu's eyes."
"He was polluted by the invaders and cursed by Lingtu with the Taiyin Source. Knowing that he would die, he lurked for several years and gave birth to offspring. He decided to support his child to become the Lord of the Sun, so he left the 'fragments of the Taiyin Source' and the 'core fragments of the Light Compass' to his offspring, that is, the Demon Lord."
After a pause, the void demigod looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was surrounded by golden crows and whose body was showing a large area of carbonization, and suddenly sighed: "You may not believe it, but the birth of the Demon Lord was an accident. I know that he has the core fragments of the Light Compass sealed in his body and will definitely obtain a character card, but the issuance of Lingjing's character cards is random and anytime."
"He obtained the character card four years ago, but there was a small accident. He was controlled by a fallen person in the Public Security Bureau arranged by the Judge of the Cunning Eyes and drank the liquid from the Chalice of Corruption, becoming the slave of the Judge of the Cunning Eyes."
"From then on, it was almost impossible for him to develop wretchedly. In order not to be deduced by you about the origin of the Demon Lord and thus lock onto me and Zhang Zizhen, I could only give him the fragments of the Taiyin Source in advance and make him cut off contact with his real identity."
"Then, I contacted him as a mysterious investor, guiding him to upgrade step by step, teaching him how to purify the pollution of the Chalice of Corruption, and introducing him to the Goddess of Beauty."
The Goddess of Beauty took over the conversation and said: "The battle a year ago was ostensibly Lingtu stifling the threat of the Demon Lord and taking back the fragments of the Taiyin Source, but it was actually a hunt for Lingtu by us, luring him out, killing him, helping the Demon Lord become the Lord of the Taiyin, and then using the core fragments of the Light Compass to open the Sun dungeon and use the core fragments as a medium to accommodate the sun and purify the pollution of the Chalice of Corruption."
"Unfortunately, you suddenly intervened, causing the Demon Lord to die. We could only change the plan. The Demon Lord cut his soul into three parts. A remnant soul accommodated all the memories after becoming a Lingjing Xingzhe and was attached to the core fragments of the compass. Then, with the characteristics of the core fragments, it entered the Sun dungeon and hid in the Sun's Source."
"A remnant soul was handed over to the Void President and was hidden by the Taiyin fragments. The last soul was the Demon Lord who disappeared in body and spirit in your eyes."
"Except for the part of the soul that died, two remnant souls were hidden in the sun, and one was protected by the fragments of the Taiyin Source. Your deduction skills could not see them. In your eyes, the Demon Lord naturally died cleanly."
The Goddess of Beauty's voice was soft and moving: "Now it seems that the original plan must have failed. We only calculated Lingtu, but not you. However, it was precisely because of this that the Void and I became suspicious of you."
The Lord of the Stars was silent for a moment and said: "Full of loopholes. The Demon Lord's remnant soul can maintain immortality in the Sun's Source by relying on the core fragments of the compass, which is very reasonable. However, the core fragments of the compass cannot open the Sun dungeon. Otherwise, Zhang Zizhen would have directly thrown Lingtu into the Sun dungeon that year to purify the pollution with the Sun's Source."
"In that battle last year, even if I didn't show up, Lingtu still had Shura to help him. With just the two of you and the Fear Heavenly King, it would be a fool's dream to kill Lingtu."
The Void President sneered and did not explain, grabbing a black pocket-sized speaker from the void.
He patted the top of the speaker: "Explain it to our Lord of the Stars."
All the demigods' eyes focused on the Mao Wang speaker.
The Mao Wang speaker seemed to be down, and there was no movement for a long time. The Void President slapped it: "Don't be cowardly!"
The Mao Wang speaker still did not respond, looking as if it was dead.
The Void President shrugged: "It seems that it doesn't dare to say."
The Lord of the Stars was silent again, and after a few seconds, said: "How did the Demon Lord summon the fragments of the Sun's Source in that battle?"
The Void President shrugged: "I don't know either. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
He looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was surrounded by golden crows.
......
Zhang Yuanqing's soul seemed to be trapped in a sea of fire, and the pain of being burned by flames tormented him every moment.
But it also allowed him to retain his sanity in the surging mental impact, enduring the scouring of those past memories.
He remembered, remembered everything.
After Bing Ge was admitted to Hangzhou University, in order to celebrate his successful admission to the university, and to experience the city where he was about to live for four years, Bing Ge took him to Hangzhou for tourism during the summer vacation.
They both obtained character cards in the Hidden Buddha Temple and entered their respective dungeons.
After leaving the dungeon, the two of them went to the nearest Public Security Bureau in fear and anxiety to report the case. The Public Security Bureau transferred the incident to the Hangzhou branch, and the person in charge was a servant of the Judge of the Cunning Eyes...
As new Lingjing Xingzhe, they were tricked by the servant of the Judge of the Cunning Eyes into drinking the liquid of the Chalice of Corruption, and from then on, they suffered the pollution of the Chalice of Corruption, which was feared by the Lingjing world.
In the next three years, he and Bing Ge wandered in the shadows, struggled in pain, were wanted by the official, and were discriminated against by evil professions. He, who had an extreme personality, became more and more extreme and crazy.
He didn't dare to go home anymore, and tried hard to complete the tasks of the Judge of the Cunning Eyes, otherwise the Judge of the Cunning Eyes would use the Chalice of Corruption to let them know what extreme pain was.
He also remembered more things. After completing the trial task, the second dungeon he entered was the Sheling Tunnel.
That was a dungeon that was bound to die. It was a space channel that suddenly cracked and allowed him to escape the dungeon.
This bug, which he had not been able to figure out for a long time, he later learned that it was his uncle who secretly helped him escape the dungeon at the cost of clearing his experience points. Of course, at that time, he had just become a Lingjing Xingzhe and did not have much experience points.
In the Red High-Heel shoes dialogue box in the Sheling Tunnel dungeon, it said: "
It was not recognizing the Demon Lord character card in his body, but recognizing him!
The past flashed by, from 2019 to 2023. The end of the memory fragments was pitch black, and footsteps came from the pitch blackness.
The footsteps were empty and light, as if from the depths of his heart, that longing, that reluctance.
He heard the footsteps stop at the door, turn the doorknob, and then stop at his ear.
A gentle and familiar voice sounded in his ear: "Yuanzi, you will wake up in fifteen minutes, at seven thirty in the morning. When you wake up, you are a freshman studying at Songhai University. You had a headache when you were in high school. Your mother, Chen Shu, took you to see all the major hospitals in China to treat you, and finally found a medicine to treat your headache abroad. The medicine is in the drawer of the bedside table..."
"After three times, you must remember my words and believe them deeply..." Afterwards, he woke up from a headache and received the character card sent by Bing Ge!
"Character card has been restarted, restart completed..."
The memories were connected.
He never had a headache. The so-called headache was because his soul was too strong and his body could not accommodate it; it was because his remnant soul and the pure soul in the puppet body did not match.
As his position improved, his body gradually became able to accommodate the powerful soul, and the headache never recurred.
No wonder his memory regression could never go back to high school. It stopped on the day Bing Ge sent the character card.
Because that was the first day he was resurrected.
Life is like a big dream!
A big dream!
Zhang Yuanqing murmured: "The Demon Lord is me, I am the Demon Lord..."
The Lord of the Sun was born!
