Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Even if someone seizes control of the entire endless world, so what?

At that time, he was only just qualified to compete with Ao Bing, elevating his perspective from a single place or city in the primordial world to the entire universe.

Ao Bing's stage has long been different from others. He focuses on the entire prehistoric world, aiming to strengthen his power and gain more benefits by changing the pattern of heaven and earth.

No matter how fiercely everyone fought in the primordial world, it had little impact on Ao Bing and could not shake his plans.

Conversely, Ao Bing's every move has a tremendous impact on everyone, and may cause their plans to change in an unprecedented way, forcing them to start all over again.

To put it more vividly, all the fighting is under Ao Bing's control. If he so chooses, he can tear everything down and start over in an instant. Under such circumstances, how can anyone possibly defeat him?
"The celestial sphere, spin for me!"

With a swift movement, Ao Bing stood in the center of the starry sky, at the very top of the heavens, directly above the Ziwei Star.

This is the center of the starry sky, the center of the sun and moon, where all the stars revolve around the Ziwei star, worshipping it, surrounding it, and protecting it.

Even the sun and moon revolve in cycles, but the Purple Star always stands firm in the mid-sky, unmoving through the ages, radiating endless light and guiding all living beings.

Therefore, in addition to being the Emperor Star, Ziwei Star is also a beacon of the Way, residing in the hearts of all beings, pointing them in the right direction and preventing them from getting lost on their journey to find the Way.

Ao Bing was born after birth, not as an innate Heavenly Emperor, yet he was favored by the Ziwei Star, which is related to this.

He did not fit the imperial destiny aspect of the Ziwei Star, but he was perfectly aligned with the other side of the Ziwei Star, the role of the Dao Beacon.

Ao Bing passed down the mythology and supernatural power system, further promoting the development of cultivation civilization and guiding all living beings in a new direction.

If he's not a beacon, then what is he?
This is precisely what resonates with the other side of Ziwei Star, which is why he gained Ziwei Star's favor, far surpassing the favor of others.

The most important aspect of the Ziwei Star lies in its role as a beacon.

For countless years, whenever Ziwei Star is mentioned, the first impression people have is that it is the Emperor Star, the carrier of the Emperor's Way, and the most precious existence, completely ignoring its other function.

Compared to emperors, beacons of light may seem less noticeable. But the truth is, they are far more important. How can civilization progress? How can history develop without guidance?

Why is Ziwei Star considered an imperial star, and what is the basis for this? Ultimately, the reason is related to its status as a guiding star.

Because the Ziwei Star is the guiding star, responsible for leading all living beings forward, it can become the Emperor Star and be worshipped by the world.

To point out the direction for all living beings and guide civilization forward—what a great achievement this is! Its merit is unparalleled.

Under the reverence and worship of all beings, its status naturally becomes precious, becoming the most supreme and noble existence in the world, the incarnation of all emperors.

To give a factual example, who was the most powerful person in the primordial world? Nominally, it was the Heavenly Emperor, but in reality, it was the Dao Ancestor.

What did the Dao Ancestor do to gain greater power than the Heavenly Emperor? The answer is that he spread the Dao throughout the world, explained the realms beyond the Great Luo Golden Immortal to all living beings, and guided them to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Road sign!

Without a doubt, the Taoist Ancestor served as a beacon, pointing out a new direction for people when they were lost.

Therefore, the Dao Ancestor was worshipped by all living beings and became the most powerful person in the prehistoric world.

It is easy to see the importance of the guiding principle. Because it is the guiding principle, it has the power to guide all beings forward, and therefore is worshipped by all beings, thus attaining a supreme and noble status.

While Ziwei Star is indeed an imperial star, its title of imperial star was not innate. Rather, it was a guiding principle that was established first, and then gradually extended from there.

This is why, when the primordial world was first created, the sun and moon were revered in the starry sky, and few people mentioned the Ziwei Star.

Because at that time, Ziwei Star was not yet the Emperor Star, and the role of Dao Beacon had just begun to be played out, and it had not yet extended to the level of an emperor.

Later, the starry sky shattered and the stars became disordered. The Purple Star shone brightly, guiding the stars to revolve around it and establishing a new order for the starry sky. Only then did it establish its supreme position.

Since the most important aspect of Ziwei Star is its ability to serve as a guiding light, those who are most compatible with Ziwei Star are naturally those who also possess this ability.

Ao Bing perfectly fits this description. Therefore, despite not being born an emperor, he received the greatest favor from Ziwei Star, even gradually becoming the master of Ziwei Star and ruling over the entire starry sky.

At this moment, as the master of Ziwei Star, he stood atop the highest point of the heavens, not to show off, but to prepare to further strengthen the authority of Ziwei Star, so that it could completely surpass the sun and moon.

Beyond the sun and moon, Ziwei is supreme.

This sentence shows that although the Ziwei star is the most important star in the constellation, the constellation here does not include the sun and the moon.

In other words, although Ziwei Star is the Emperor Star, it is not unique in the starry sky. There are two other stars that can rival it and do not obey its commands: Taiyin Star and Taiyang Star.

Unfortunately, among all the stars in the sky, the two stars that Ao Bing had the weakest control over were the Moon and the Sun.

Of these two stars, the Sun Star is alright; Ao Bing simply hasn't fully mastered it, but he's not completely unable to command it.

But the Moon Star is different. Ao Bing can only leave a mark on it and borrow a small portion of its power. Apart from that, everything about the Moon Star is irrelevant to him, and he can do nothing about it.

When Ao Bing cultivated into a mythical Great Luo, he went back to the past to tamper with history, reversing cause and effect, and changed his origin from an ordinary dragon to the incarnation of the innate sun spirit.

In other words, in everyone's eyes, he and Di Juntai were both innate deities born from the Sun Star.

If Taiyi Dijun had not been resurrected, then the Sun Star would have been completely under his control, and he would have been the only one to obey.

The problem now is that we don't know if Di Jun has been resurrected, but it's clear that Tai Yi has been resurrected.

In this situation, unless Taiyi is willing to give up control of the Sun Star, it can only be said that Ao Bing and he each control half of the Sun Star's origin.

Don't underestimate this half. If Ao Bing hadn't merged the sun he transformed into with the primordial sun when he transformed into all things, greatly strengthening his control over the sun, he probably wouldn't even have half.

There was nothing he could do; he was the last to be born. That's how it was in the primordial world—the earlier you were born, the more advantageous it was. Conversely, the later you were born, the more disadvantaged you were. Of the three primordial deities born from the Sun Star, Di Jun was the first to be born, followed closely by Tai Yi. Ao Bing was born only after countless years, and even reincarnated once.

In this situation, his control over the Sun Star is naturally far inferior to that of the two of them. He could be secretly pleased if he had even half of it.

In fact, Ao Bing was quite satisfied with this. Although everyone only had half, Taiyi could only control this half, at most with the support of the Taiyin Star.

Besides, over 99% of the stars in the sky are under Ao Bing's control. With them as his backing, Taiyi simply cannot compete with Ao Bing.

Both are half, but because of the greater assistance, the control of the Sun Star can still be said to be barely under Ao Bing's control.

However, this situation will not last long, and things will change immediately once Di Jun is resurrected.

At that time, control over the Sun Star will be divided among Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Ao Bing, one for each of them.

It seems fair, but Taiyi and Dijun are in cahoots. If the two of them join forces, they can completely suppress Ao Bing and make him lose control of the Sun Star.

Therefore, Ao Bing needs to find a way to drive Taiyi out of the Sun Star.

In this way, even if Di Jun is resurrected in the future, he will not be able to shake his control over the Sun Star and will have to submit to him.

As for why Taiyi was driven out instead of Dijun, the reason is quite simple: while it might seem that the dead are easier to bully, that's not actually the case.

Because Di Jun is dead, no one can shake his position on the Sun Star. While he was alive, his merits and demerits were mixed. But after his death, the Sun Star will only remember his achievements.

Therefore, as long as Di Jun is not resurrected, no one can shake his position on the Sun Star. Rather than going to great lengths to find ways to lower Di Jun's status on the Sun Star, it would be better to get rid of the troublesome Tai Yi as soon as possible.

In addition, there is Xihe.

For the Sun Star, through a series of maneuvers, Ao Bing could still retain half of the control. But for the Moon Star, he had less than one-tenth of the control, making him no match for Xi He.

Therefore, compared to Taiyi, Ao Bing wanted to drive Xihe out of the starry sky and force her to give up her position as the Lord of the Moon.

Yes, it means making her relinquish her position as the Lord of the Moon, not killing her. Killing Xihe alone wouldn't be difficult; with Ao Bing's current strength, it would be easily accomplished.

But killing her wouldn't solve the problem; it would only make it more complicated. With Xihe dead, the power of the Moon Star would indeed fall entirely into Ao Bing's hands.

But this is only temporary. Once Xihe is resurrected, she can immediately reclaim this part of the power. Only when she voluntarily relinquishes this part of the power will it truly belong to Ao Bing.

The most unique aspect of innate deities lies in this: their authority is inherent and cannot be lost even upon death, though it may temporarily be without a master. Once resurrected, they can reclaim it at any time.

This means that killing them will not solve the problem, nor will it provide a permanent solution to gain control of the Moon and the Sun.

The inability to fully control the Moon and the Sun remains a significant hidden danger for Ao Bing. This means that his control over the cosmos is unstable and could be overthrown.

Although extremely small, it still exists and cannot be ignored.

Just like before, even though Ao Bing had clearly stated that the Western Sect was not allowed to enter the Star Realm to spread their teachings, Taiyi was able to break his order and allow the Western Sect to enter and spread their teachings.

This is proof that Ao Bing has not fully controlled the starry sky. If he had truly controlled the starry sky, why would there be any opposing opinions?

Based on this, Ao Bing didn't want a similar incident to happen again, so he wanted to eliminate this potential threat. However, after much thought, he still couldn't come up with a way to get Taiyi and Xihe to voluntarily relinquish their power.

The key to the problem lies with Taiyi; Xihe is unimportant. Taiyi is incredibly powerful, and Xihe is barely stronger than an ant compared to him.

It was only because Taiyi was backing her up that Xihe dared to act recklessly in front of Ao Bing. Otherwise, even though she was a great supernatural being and had cultivated to the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, she was still far inferior to Ao Bing and could be easily manipulated.

It's not that Ao Bing is bragging, but if it weren't for Taiyi, he would have a million ways to make Xihe voluntarily give up the power of the Taiyin Star.

However, because of Taiyi's presence, Xihe was not afraid of Ao Bing's threat at all. It was nothing more than death; as long as Taiyi was alive, he could revive her sooner or later.

With no worries about the future, they naturally had no fear of Ao Bing's threats.

Therefore, Taiyi must be dealt with before Xihe can be appeased. However, to deal with Taiyi, the Chaos Bell must first be dealt with, which is beyond Ao Bing's capabilities.

In other words, Ao Bing thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a way to break the deadlock. Until he looked at Ziwei Star and then at the current prehistoric world, he suddenly had a solution that was not really a solution.

His concern about the Moon and the Sun was because these two stars were on par with the Purple Star, representing the authority of the celestial lord.

Therefore, if he wants to secure his position as the Star Lord, he must take full control of these three supreme stars.

That's a valid point of view, but if we look at it from another angle, if the Sun and Moon were no longer on par with the Ziwei Star, they would actually be inferior to it.

So, does that mean we no longer need to worry about the sun and moon usurping power?
Because they share the same status, there is a possibility of seizing power. But when their status is no longer equal, the Sun and Moon can only bow down to the Purple Star, and have no ability to seize power.

The status of stars is very important. Why is it emphasized that the sun, moon, and Ziwei star are the supreme stars?
This is because the masters of these three stars can disregard their will and forcibly mobilize the primal power of the other stars.

This is the majesty of the supreme stars. Stars of lower status have no power to resist them and must obey their commands one hundred percent.

In other words, as long as the Ziwei star's status surpasses that of the Sun and Moon, it doesn't matter if the control of the Sun and Moon remains in the hands of Taiyi and Xihe.

Once Ao Bing issues an order, they have no choice but to obey. This is not something they can decide by their own will; they cannot resist even if they want to.

The commands of the Ziwei star are above all else, including the will of the Sun and Moon themselves.

Undoubtedly, this method is very feasible, but how to do it is the question.

In the past, Ao Bing would never have dared to think this way, but things are different now. Given the current situation in the prehistoric world, elevating the status of Ziwei Star is much easier than driving Taiyi and Xihe out of the Sun Star and the Moon Star.

The status of the Purple Star derives from the worship of other stars; that is, the more places that worship the Purple Star, the greater its authority will be. (End of Chapter)
