The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Ji Chen felt like an iron billet in a furnace, being constantly forged, roasted, and purified by the surging torrent of energy.

Ji Chen originally thought that after he forged his Dao body and cultivated it to perfection, his body was already flawless and without any impurities.

But under the infusion of cosmic energy, he realized he was still wrong.

Perhaps it's not wrong.

However, his previous purity was a low-level purity, but such purity, when reflected by higher-level energy, is also a kind of impurity.

Pure and mixed are relative terms; there is no absolute.

In this intense internal replacement and transformation, all his original foundation and essence seemed to have turned into a point of pure Yang, preserving the fundamental point of ultimate refinement and purity.

This point of ultimate yang, under the scouring of the primordial chaos, is like a sturdy pine tree on a cliff in a storm. Although the situation is critical and the wind and rain are swaying, it stands firm no matter how strong the storm or how strong the wind.

Upon seeing this, Ji Chen felt a sudden realization, as if he had just attained enlightenment.

The world of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, along with the classic texts condensed from thousands of years of wisdom from Buddhism, Taoism, and other major sects, flowed through his mind.

"The Book of Changes states that the Supreme Ultimate (Taiji) gives rise to the Two Forms (Yin and Yang), the Two Forms give rise to the Four Symbols (Sixiang), the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams (Bagua)..."

All things carry yin and embrace yang, and through the interaction of these energies, harmony is achieved...

Yin and Yang reflect each other, cover each other, and govern each other; the four seasons alternate, and they generate and destroy each other...

Various scriptures flowed through Ji Chen's mind, and at this moment they transformed into real and true insights.

"Yi (易) means change, it is the Dao (道). Taiji (太极) is the Dao, the Dao gives rise to Yin and Yang, so that's how it is..."

Ji Chen's insights have transcended the scope of the "Universe Sun-Embracing True Scripture," and the changes in him are something that the "Universe Sun-Embracing True Scripture" has never mentioned.

The yin fish adorns the eyes of the yang fish, swimming joyfully within his body; at the same time, the opposite yang fish also manifests.

The yin and yang fish play and chase each other, eventually merging into a harmonious and unobstructed Tai Chi diagram.

"Hoo hoo~~"

Instantly, a powerful gravitational force was generated at the center of the taiji.

The energy storm with Ji Chen as its eye suddenly found a channel to pour out, and it swirled and gathered wildly around the Tai Chi symbol.

Ji Chen was in considerable pain from the shock, but a sense of exhilaration also arose, giving him a truly exhilarating experience of "experiencing both ice and fire."

Boom!

As if the world had been created, Ji Chen felt as if his body had been torn apart and something new had appeared inside him.

The energy surged within Ji Chen's body until the universe's bounty completely dissipated, and the energy surge swirling around Ji Chen disappeared.

Ji Chen focused his mind inward, and the instant his consciousness sank into his body, he caught a glimpse of something unusual—

An energy core was floating in the dantian area.

This core is enveloped in a pale golden halo. It appears to be located in the dantian, but it has no connection with the surrounding flesh and meridians. It is as if it exists independently in another miniature space, forming a wonderful state of "being in the same place but isolated" from the physical body.

He tried to probe his senses and discovered that this dantian was a vast space far exceeding the volume of the physical body, far beyond the scope that the dantian itself could express.

Inside, there is also colorful, surging cosmic energy.

Clearly, the energy torrent that Ji Chen had previously attracted had all condensed here.

"What is this thing? It's not even mentioned in the 'True Scripture of the Universe's Sun-Embracing,' it's way beyond the scope of the curriculum."

Ji Chen was filled with great doubt.

But the moment he had a question, a vast, gentle wave of warmth, which he instinctively felt a sense of intimacy, descended upon him.

This wave of energy was hazy yet warm, making Ji Chen feel as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, filling him with a sense of longing.

It wasn't domineering at all; it sent Ji Chen a message in a warm and friendly manner.

The information package contained a wealth of information, but it all revolved around one central point:

Star God!

What is a Star God?

During Ji Chen's childhood, there was an animated film called "Cosmic Star God".

It tells the story of how, when the primordial universe was born, three hundred primordial star gods were born alongside it. They were the darlings of the universe, the innate gods and demons of this universe, born with authority and possessing unparalleled and vast power.

Most of them have the mind of children, appearing as little kids in cartoons, frolicking and playing freely in the primordial universe, and even fighting when they get really into a fight.

They would play for several years, until they were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

After waking up, they made up and continued playing, molding planet clay and building planet blocks.

There's no doubt that the beginning of this animated film has a fairytale feel to it.

However, even the most whimsical animated films will have villains who serve to advance the plot.

Thus, the villainous group of evil gods made their dazzling debut.

In animated films, evil gods appear out of nowhere and suddenly intrude; they are born evil.

They bullied the weaker star gods while stirring up trouble among the powerful star gods, causing the federal children to cry loudly.

Then, a fierce civil war broke out among the Star Gods amidst the cries of the Federation's children.

Taking advantage of the Star Gods' civil war, the evil god reaped the benefits and used it to rule over most of the universe.

But as the saying goes, good will prevail over evil. The strategists and leaders among the Star Gods realized the truth and actively sought evidence of the evil gods' instigation. Through a series of coincidences, they exposed the evil gods' misdeeds, and the remaining Star Gods finally united to drive the evil gods away.

Looking back now, Ji Chen couldn't help but laugh.

The Federation is really something—starting the image of evil gods and villains from a very young age.

But this also shows that the Federation is truly terrified of the evil god.

However, comparing the information conveyed by the previous fluctuations, Ji Chen couldn't find any obvious "dog shit" or "unofficial history" in this animated film.

"The only change is the part where the evil god stirs up trouble, but in fact, the star gods are childlike, and the evil god is not a very intelligent god. Most of the time they are in a state of chaos, without a clear goal, and their behavior is completely unpredictable."

"But they themselves are corrupted. Under their corruption, even the Star Gods inevitably developed a lot of negative emotions, which led to the civil war."

"The corrupted Star Gods are like the gods in Greek mythology, their desires raging. Although they cooperated for a time to drive away the evil god, they inevitably fell into a new civil war, constantly weakening themselves through internal strife. It is because of this that the cosmic races born later were able to rise up and become the masters of the universe."

Upon seeing this, Ji Chen couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, no matter which world it is, the basic structure is the same.

All of these were originally innate deities who ruled the world, but weakened due to internal strife and eventually gave way to later-born deities.

This is true of primordial mythology, Greek mythology, D&D mythology, and even this universe.

Regardless, the power of the Star God is beyond doubt.

Ji Chen, with his profound foundation, naturally embarked on the path of the Star God after cultivating the Tai Xu Technique.

Moreover, unlike other cultivators who can only become Star Gods by cultivating the Taixu Technique to an extremely high level, this is different.

Ji Chen's success may be due to his talent, or it may be due to his deep accumulation of experience.

In short, he didn't need to follow the path of the Star God, nor did he need to climb it. He was treated like the favored son of the universe and became a nascent Star God in one leap.

He doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to quietly accept the ever-flowing cosmic energy from Mother Universe, and his strength will naturally and steadily advance towards becoming a Seven-Star Superhuman, with authority arising spontaneously, making him a Star God.

Of course, the time required to become a god by lying down is one thousand years.
