The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

The sun once again swept across the vast land, relentlessly flying towards Mount Buzhou.

Chen Geng could see the palace every day, but he could never get inside. Whenever he got close, the sun would pull him back, and he could only wander outside.

Emperor Jun forbade him to enter the palace. Seeing that he still harbored wicked intentions, he solemnly warned him that it was the place of great supernatural beings.

If you enter someone else's Taoist temple, unless you are a Great Immortal or have a spiritual treasure protecting you, your life and death will no longer be in your own hands.

"What is a dojo?"

In Chen Geng's memory, a Taoist temple was simply a place for meditation, cultivation, and rest, and he thought there was nothing special about it.

But since Dijun said that, it's clearly not what he thought.

"The Daoist temple is the place where a primordial deity is born."

The figure in the sun sat cross-legged and whispered to him, "That is where the Great Dao of that innate deity is most concentrated. Only one Great Dao is revered there, and the other Great Daos cannot approach it."

"Within this sun, is my sacred space. Within this space, I can directly manifest the present, past, and future. Any character who comes here will be under my control."

Di Jun spoke very seriously, so Chen Geng dared not enter the palace and could only secretly watch from outside every day.

He keenly noticed that Mount Buzhou was growing taller every day, and if he slacked off in his cultivation, he would have to postpone his stay.

They worked diligently and conscientiously, and they did make some contributions, but not as many as those who actively drove change in the world.

When he walks, it is daytime; when he returns to the sun, it is nighttime. Chen Geng observes the primordial world during the day and uses the Jade Void Breathing Method to absorb and exhale the essence of the sun at night.

Each time he inhales and exhales, his entire body is bathed in the blazing sun's flames, and the Great Dao within his body clearly advances a little.

It may seem insignificant, but over the years it adds up to a considerable amount.

Meanwhile, Cui Jue also brought him some good news.

"Brother Chen, according to the higher-ups' decision, we've been selected for Project Möbius."

Chen Geng: "What is the Möbius Project? I think you mentioned it to me once before."

He was busy fighting at the time, so how could he have had the extra time to learn about these things?

Cui Jue: "I knew Brother Chen was very busy, so I took the liberty of securing a considerable share for you."

Chen Geng soon saw the benefits and had to admit that Cui Jue was indeed his capable liaison.

Cui Jue: '153000 contribution points. This is the maximum contribution points that the higher-ups can offer, aside from the minimum required for emergency plans.'

"There are 15 people selected for Project Möbius. I took the liberty of converting all resources into contribution points, and Brother Chen, you have the most contribution points among them."

Over 150,000 contribution points!

The last time he contributed so many points was when he indirectly helped guide Zhulong to achieve enlightenment and establish the timeline.

I never expected them to have such a large-scale operation on Earth.

  

Chen Geng knew how difficult it was to obtain these contribution points, most of which were earned by risking lives. The fact that he could contribute so many was a testament to his sincerity.

More importantly, the other party did not impose any preconditions; they offered the terms first and then raised the conditions.

After carefully learning about the Möbius Project, Chen Geng had to give a thumbs up to the officials of Daxia.

The scale and vision of the project exceeded his expectations.

Cui Jue: "Brother Chen, we've done some research on the giant corpse you had the demon race send over last time. Apparently, they're trying to develop genetic weapons."

"If it's successfully developed, we'll receive a reward."

Cui Jue did a really good job. Chen Geng asked him to take care of Jin Que and Da Hu Er Hu, and he would make further arrangements when he got back.

After ending the call, he continued to absorb the essence of the sun and refine his primordial Qi.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird flew into the sun once more, its cry interrupting Chen Geng's thoughts.

It took Him longer and longer to fly there, because the sun, like Mount Buzhou, was getting farther and farther away and higher.

"Cultivation, of course," Chen Geng said matter-of-factly.

"What is cultivation?"

Zhuque blinked and tilted her head to look at him: "So, it's like you, burning yourself with the sun's fire?"

His divine power was born from a single sun, and he is probably the most sun-averse being in the primordial world besides Chen Geng.

"No, no, no, cultivation is not about setting yourself on fire. Look at me carefully."

Chen Geng then had Zhuque watch him exhale and inhale his vital energy.

For beings born at this time, nothing can be hidden, especially since Chen Geng took the initiative to reveal himself, and Zhuque could see everything clearly.

"I'll give it a try."

Sure enough, it learned it at a glance and curiously followed suit, swallowing and spitting out rays of sunlight that flowed into its body through the Vermilion Bird's mouth and nose.

Chen Geng glanced at his painting subconsciously, and his contribution points increased by 1 point.

Spreading the Dharma is indeed meritorious, but I wonder if it will displease the one atop Mount Buzhou.

"It's so hot! It's so hot!"

As soon as Zhuque took a breath, he suddenly cried out in alarm. He could not withstand the pure solar fire, so he quickly breathed into Taiyin, which barely managed to cool it down.

He hurriedly moved a great distance away from the sun, and only after descending into the clear atmosphere did he say with lingering fear:

"No, I'm too close. If I do it like you, I'll get burned."

He can briefly come into contact with the sun, but once he opens his mouth and swallows too much of the sun's essence, he cannot withstand it.

Although both are breathing techniques, Zhuque and Chen Geng use them differently. Each person's innate divine instincts allow them to modify the breathing technique to better suit themselves.

After practicing breathing exercises a few times, Chen Geng's breathing method became different from the one he initially learned from Zhou Yuling.

"Thank you," Zhuque said to Chen Geng, having felt the power of the breathing technique.

"With this thing called the breathing technique, I can fly even faster."

He knew this was a precious treasure.

Chen Geng didn't care. The breathing technique only increases the "essence" of innate beings. Strictly speaking, it is for acquired beings.

For those born with divine abilities, this is not very necessary; their primary focus is on comprehending the Great Dao.

Then, beings can only begin to come into contact with the Great Dao after they have accumulated their own quantity and reached a certain level.

One is the lower limit, and the other is the upper limit.

"Can I teach it to my brothers and sisters?"

Zhuque asked Chen Geng, "They are different from me. They are too weak and are often bullied by other races."

"sure."

Chen Geng was eager for Him to help him spread the Dharma.

Don't underestimate the small contribution value of the Vermilion Bird. If more beings cultivate, wouldn't it add up to a lot?

Unable to follow the ever-rising sun for long, the Vermilion Bird briefly chatted with Chen Geng before heading back to the primordial land.

Chen Geng then continued on his way to fulfill his duties as Si Ming.

Looking at the sun moving overhead, Suzaku's eyes showed a clear hint of longing; that was its favorite friend.

He flew to the hottest region of the primordial land, the place where all the Vermilion Birds were most numerous.

He brought a grain of sun, bringing light and color, making Guishan, south of the wilderness, the hottest place.

The Vermilion Birds live here; everywhere you look, there are vermilion birds, but they are much smaller than the Vermilion Birds.
