Golden Core is a Star, and You Call This Cultivation?

The essence of survival is adaptation.

Adapting to society, to the world, to the universe.

In order to survive better, one must change themselves.

The deceitful disguise themselves as the noble.

Morality and rules place shackles on everyone; to survive, one must adapt.

Qi Yuan's Supreme Supreme Truth is absolute adaptation.

"But adaptation... is not what I want."

"To adapt, does that mean I have to let Oxhorn Sister mock me and not be able to retort?"

"If a powerful Grand Supreme Truth comes to my house to steal buns, do I have to hide under the bed, trembling?"

"When the world is unjust and oppressive, must I adapt just to survive, blending into the masses like any other?"

"This is definitely not my path!"

"Absolute adaptation... then there's also Innate, Singular, and Cycle."

The Supreme Supreme Truth consists of four types.

Absolute adaptation—what about the others?

After all, there is no rule stating that living beings can only comprehend one Supreme Supreme Truth.

Qi Yuan held his Blood-Elevating Comprehension Pill and ate some more.

His mind cleared again, becoming excited.

In ancient times, a donkey that stopped pushing a mill would be whipped.

Today, when workers get tired, they buy themselves coffee.

The Blood-Elevating Comprehension Pill works like coffee—keeping the mind alert, making thoughts clearer and faster.

"Innate..."

"Innate...is lacking!"

The path of the Innate, Qi Yuan still couldn’t comprehend.

Or rather, the Innate path relied too much on bloodlines and ancestry.

Qi Yuan was just an ordinary person from Blue Planet, riddled with illnesses and troubles—where would he get a special physique or extraordinary lineage? 𐍂ἈŊọᛒЁṩ

As for the Devouring Physique and Myriad Dao Martial God he had gained later, in Qi Yuan's eyes, these were acquired through effort.

Growing up on Blue Planet, immersed in ideals like "Princes and kings, are they born noble?" Qi Yuan never believed that any bloodline was inherently superior.

Humans are equal in terms of dignity.

"Singular..."

Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"If I follow the path of the Singular, I would be the Singular Great Sun!"

Ever since he provoked Taihuang Palace by challenging the Ten Suns in the sky, Qi Yuan’s path of the Singular Truth had been set.

He wasn’t just aiming to take the Great Sun’s throne; he intended to seize its Supreme Supreme Truth as well.

"So, that leaves the path of the Cycle!"

"What is the Cycle?"

Qi Yuan sank deep into thought.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, many eyes were focused on Qi Yuan.

Wusheng Celestial squinted, a trace of curiosity in his expression. "He’s already imprinted the Supreme Supreme Truth—why does he remain here in meditation?"

Though the Molo Clan had no Grand Supreme Truth cultivators, if Molo Celestial was willing, Black Demon Abyss would certainly welcome him back.

Yet here he remained, lying in front of the Wall of Supreme Truth, an odd sight.

"Could it be... he’s trying to comprehend a second one?" Taihuang Palace’s Grand Supreme Truth cultivator chuckled.

Of course, this was merely a joke.

The Six Heavens had never seen such a precedent.

Even in terms of ordinary grades of Supreme Truth, comprehending two was exceedingly rare.

One could count such occurrences on one hand.

"Since Molo Celestial has already comprehended a Supreme Supreme Truth, he should be involved in Lynia’s Transformation," a Grand Supreme Truth said.

The other Grand Supreme Truths nodded.

Comprehending the Supreme Supreme Truth nearly guaranteed that, barring an early death, one would become a Grand Supreme Truth.

Wusheng Celestial softly said, "Once he finishes, I will personally extend the invitation."

After the Supreme Truth Debate concluded, these Grand Supreme Truth cultivators would gather to announce matters related to Lynia’s Transformation.

Originally, the Molo Clan had no Grand Supreme Truth, so they weren’t qualified to know of it.

But now, with Molo Celestial in the mix, everything had changed.

"Lynia’s Transformation... I wonder how many stars will fall," Black Demon Abyss's Third Elder sighed, glancing at the starry skies.

Lynia’s Transformation was a calamity.

Even Grand Supreme Truth cultivators could fall during it.

"I don’t know what Molo Celestial is thinking. If he weren’t still lying there, the Supreme Truth Debate would have ended already," said a Grand Supreme Truth from Ghost Dominion Heaven, lazily.

Typically, by this time, the Supreme Truth Debate would have concluded.

The Yang Gods who hadn’t comprehended the Supreme Truth would be sent away by the Supreme Truth Association.

But Molo Celestial remained there, still comprehending.

Since he had already comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth, they couldn't very well kick him out.

Thanks to Qi Yuan’s delay, the remaining Yang Gods still had a bit more time and another chance.

"Show some respect for Molo Celestial. In the future, he could be our... senior," said the Grand Supreme Truth from Taihuang Palace, calmly.

Hearing this, the other Grand Supreme Truths straightened up internally.

He was right.

Even among Grand Supreme Truth cultivators, there were differences in strength.

Those who comprehended the Supreme Truth were true kings.

"This ugly guy, from a certain angle, almost looks charming... Ugh... he turned around again," Oxhorn Sister exaggerated, sending a voice transmission to Qi Yuan’s Nascent Soul.

Despite her brash personality, she knew which words to say aloud and which to keep to herself.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you?" Qi Yuan’s Nascent Soul asked dryly.

"What for? I have a clear conscience, and besides... he hasn’t become a Grand Supreme Truth yet, has he? If he were, would someone of his stature bother holding a grudge against me?"

Oxhorn Sister stopped transmitting, adding with a hint of humor, "I really wonder what such a majestic Molo Celestial is thinking. If I could catch just a glimpse of his thoughts, it’d be enough to fuel my cultivation for ten thousand years."

When speaking in person, of course, she had to say something different. Purple Fate Xue even coyly shifted her posture.

However, no one paid attention to her voice. Many eyes remained fixed on Molo Celestial, their gazes flickering with various emotions.

"The Molo Clan has produced another Supreme Truth cultivator!" Divine Blood Celestial looked deeply troubled.

Molo Eyes Celestial had killed his granddaughter, and he had just recently begun feuding with the Molo Clan, having arranged a duel with Molo Eyes Celestial.

Originally, he had feared the Molo Clan, but not too much.

Without a Grand Supreme Truth in their ranks, the Molo Clan couldn’t truly threaten him.

But now, things had changed. The Molo Clan had gained a Grand Supreme Truth, and Black Demon Abyss had gained one as well.

The pressure was enormous.

"It seems... I’ll have to take Delight Celestial's advice and join Ghost Dominion Heaven. Otherwise... I won’t be able to contend with the Molo Clan at all," Divine Blood Celestial thought.

In the days to come, he planned to join forces with Delight Celestial and slay Blood Robe, offering it as a tribute to Ghost Dominion Heaven.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan lay on his bed, his brows furrowed deeply.

"What exactly is the Cycle?"

"A Mobius strip with no front or back?"

"The Ouroboros, symbol of endless cycles?"

"Or... reincarnation?"

"But reincarnation won’t make the world adapt to me!"

Qi Yuan’s mind whirled furiously.

Memories from Blue Planet and his experiences from this life flashed through his head.

Yin and yang, heaven and earth, cycles of life and death, the Taiji of Eight Trigrams... the endless rotation of life.

The rising and setting of the sun, the ebb and flow of tides, entropy increasing and decreasing, the fluctuations of energy.

All things related to cycles flashed through his mind.

"These... though they seem to involve cycles, what does entropy have to do with me losing arguments to Oxhorn Sister?"

"These may seem like cycles, but they don’t change the big picture; they still require adaptation..."

"Cycles are endless, life feeds on life, everything is interconnected... linked..."

Suddenly, a spark of insight flashed in Qi Yuan’s mind.

"Linked? Guanguan birds?"

"No, that’s not right!"

"Who says cycles have to be about the endless rotation of yin and yang, about reincarnation without end?"

At that moment, Qi Yuan’s thinking took a grand turn.

He had always been thinking on too large a scale, which is why he had comprehended the Supreme Truth of absolute adaptation.

But absolute adaptation, for Qi Yuan, was also a shackle in some ways.

So, to break free, this time he couldn’t think in grand terms.

And so...

"My Cycle Supreme Truth is..."

"Do whatever I want!"

In that instant, Qi Yuan realized.

Is doing whatever you want a cycle?

When you play word games and throw in "do whatever I want," the cycle becomes endless, even outlasting the universe itself.

It was akin to an infinitely repeating decimal.

"Do whatever I want, do whatever I want, do whatever I want... isn’t that the essence of a cycle?"

"Absolute adaptation means I have to conform to the world, but that’s not what I truly desire!"

"So, I will do whatever I want!"

In that instant, Qi Yuan understood.

His Cycle Supreme Truth was named "Do Whatever I Want."

At that moment, the Wall of Supreme Truth suddenly shone with brilliant purple light.

The Grand Supreme Truth cultivators who had been conversing froze.

"Purple light..." Wusheng Celestial took a deep breath, his face filled with shock.

"How is this possible?" One Grand Supreme Truth had his jaw drop in disbelief.

"Molo Celestial... has comprehended a second Supreme Supreme Truth?" Moonflower Celestial’s voice trembled.

In the distance, Black Sword, who had always maintained a calm and graceful demeanor, now showed signs of astonishment for the first time.

"A second Supreme Supreme Truth?"

He had only recently left the Wall of Supreme Truth, so he knew all too well how difficult it was to comprehend a Supreme Supreme Truth.

After he had imprinted the first, he had tried to comprehend a second.

But before the Wall of Supreme Truth, all he saw was chaos, and his thoughts turned to mush.

In modern terms, it was like asking an African child to solve an advanced calculus problem written in ancient oracle bone script.

So, he left calmly to stabilize his Supreme Truth.

"This Molo Celestial... why didn’t I realize how immensely talented he was before?" Black Demon Abyss's Third Elder exclaimed in surprise, his heart shaken.

This was witnessing history.

"No wonder the Molo Clan recently refused to pay tribute," Black Sword said flatly, calming himself.

Even if Molo Celestial had comprehended two Supreme Supreme Truths—an unprecedented feat—Black Sword still had confidence that his own Supreme Truth would sweep across the Six Heavens.

Every Grand Supreme Truth cultivator who comprehended a Supreme Supreme Truth possessed this sense of invincibility.

To lose that sense would be to fall short of being a true Supreme Supreme Truth cultivator.

In fact, it could even cause the grade of one’s Supreme Supreme Truth to drop.

Of course, such a thing had only happened once in the history of the Six Heavens.

"This Molo Celestial... is an anomaly," the Third Elder of Black Demon Abyss remarked, his tone melancholy.

He didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

After all, the Molo Clan and Black Demon Abyss shared a close relationship.

Elsewhere, Oxhorn Sister's jaw dropped in disbelief, her heart shaken. After a long moment, she finally said, "I admit I may have judged him too quickly based on his appearance."

For Molo Celestial to have comprehended one Supreme Supreme Truth was enough to astonish and shock all the cultivators.

Now, he had comprehended a second. This... had never happened before in the Six Heavens.

Wusheng Celestial's expression shifted, and after a long silence, he finally said, "This is the first time in the history of the Six Heavens. The changes in Lynia’s Transformation... are bound to be profound."

Taihuang Palace's Grand Supreme Truth cultivator squinted, glancing at Molo Celestial with a hint of wariness.

But after a moment’s thought, he regained his confidence.

"The Molo Clan and Taihuang Palace share a close relationship. It seems this time, we at Taihuang Palace will emerge victorious in Lynia’s Transformation," the Grand Supreme Truth cultivator from Taihuang Palace said, his voice calm.

The other Grand Supreme Truths looked at Molo Celestial without further comment.

Moonflower Celestial's expression, however, was particularly grim.

Originally, Moon Palace had been at odds with the Molo Clan, engaged in battle in Black Abyss. Recently, they had seen some success. But compared to the Molo Clan producing a Yang God who had comprehended two Supreme Truths, those victories seemed insignificant.

She lowered her head, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, information about this unprecedented event quietly spread to the ancestral leaders of the major clans and powers.

It was hard to say how much time had passed when Qi Yuan finally rose from his bed.

Wusheng Celestial shrank his massive form, transforming into a kindly elder, and approached Qi Yuan, saying, "Congratulations on comprehending two Supreme Supreme Truths, securing your path to the highest realms!"

As a senior member of the Supreme Truth Association, Wusheng Celestial held an esteemed position. Yet, before Qi Yuan, he adopted a humble stance.

"Sigh, unfortunately, my talent is lacking—I could only comprehend two Supreme Supreme Truths. When my cultivation and realm improve, I’ll come back and comprehend the remaining two," Qi Yuan said earnestly.

He was still only in the Purple Mansion stage.

For someone at the Purple Mansion stage to comprehend two Supreme Truths was already extremely difficult.

If he pushed further, Qi Yuan feared his mind might explode.

Wusheng Celestial froze for a moment, clearly not expecting such a response.

After all, comprehending just one Supreme Supreme Truth was already exceedingly rare. Comprehending two was unheard of—and now he was talking about comprehending the other two?

Still, Wusheng Celestial chuckled and said, "Then I wish you success in fulfilling your ambitions."

With that, he quickly added, "You’ve just comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth, but it hasn’t fully stabilized yet.

The Molo Clan has no Grand Supreme Truth cultivators to help you stabilize it.

Would you consider joining the Supreme Truth Association with the Molo Clan? Our elders would personally assist you in stabilizing your Supreme Truth!"

The Supreme Supreme Truth was sacred and mysterious.

Even if a Yang God managed to comprehend one, it would be difficult to stabilize it and imprint it onto their soul and body.

That’s why, after comprehending his Supreme Supreme Truth, Black Sword had left immediately to have the Third Elder of Black Demon Abyss help stabilize it.

Now, Wusheng Celestial had directly extended the invitation.

"Hey, the Supreme Truth Association is crossing a line! The Molo Clan shares the same origin as Black Demon Abyss. He should return to us!" The Third Elder of Black Demon Abyss rushed out, looking anxious.

At any other time, he might have worried that Molo Celestial would usurp their position.

But with Lynia’s Transformation looming, every powerful fighter needed to be secured.

Even Black Sword had no objections to this.

"Why not come to Taihuang Palace?" The Grand Supreme Truth from Taihuang Palace also extended an olive branch.

"Join us at White Dragon Abyss!" At that moment, the Grand Supreme Truth from White Dragon Abyss also spoke up.

The other Grand Supreme Truths were stunned.

If it were other forces extending invitations, that would be understandable.

After all, those powers already had Grand Supreme Truth cultivators who had comprehended the Supreme Truth, so they had no fear of Molo Celestial taking over.

But White Dragon Abyss had no such Grand Supreme Truth!

"No, thanks. I’m used to being free and don’t want to be bound," Qi Yuan refused directly.

After all, joining these forces would undoubtedly come with a long list of contracts.

And besides, once he revealed that his enemy was that certain figure from Taihuang Palace, things would only get more complicated.

Hearing this, the Grand Supreme Truths present were slightly surprised, but some understood, and no one pressed further.

"Since you’re not inclined to join, we won’t force you. There’s a small gathering tomorrow night. We’d be honored if you could attend," Wusheng Celestial said, handing Molo Celestial an invitation before vanishing.

Of course, he wouldn’t leave matters there.

He needed to return and consult with the other elders about how to persuade Molo Celestial to join the Supreme Truth Association.

The other Grand Supreme Truths congratulated Qi Yuan briefly before also disappearing.

Soon, Qi Yuan found himself standing alone.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze toward Purple Fate Xue, his eyes sharp. "Hey, being ugly isn’t a crime. How could you judge me by my appearance?"

Caught in that piercing gaze, Purple Fate Xue’s heart tightened, her face turning pale.

Seeing her reaction, Qi Yuan felt quite pleased.

Comprehending the Supreme Truth had its perks—even Oxhorn Sister didn’t dare argue with him now.

"Don’t judge people by their looks. Everyone is equal," Qi Yuan said, disappearing in a flash.

Purple Fate Xue stood there, frozen, her heart pounding, sweat soaking through her top.

Just now, she had genuinely felt the presence of death.

"Why does this Molo Celestial feel so familiar?"

"And... Blood Robe, was it you who reported me?!!"
