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

Since Sheng Nu had said so, combined with the answers from others, Qi Yuan had already formed a guess in his heart.

Perhaps the blind maiden truly didn’t exist in this world and was merely a figment of his imagination.

But then... how to explain that night of boundless charm?

Qi Yuan still had lingering doubts in his heart.

His gaze fell on Shangguan Qingteng and Shangguan Qingmiao. "Last time, you two mentioned that if I came to the Tai Star Domain, you would let me see the original Origin Secrets."

Being stared at by Qi Yuan, the two of them felt a pang of nervousness.

Yuan stepped forward at this moment, speaking on behalf of Shangguan Qingteng and Shangguan Qingmiao. "Realm Master, please follow me."

"Alright," Qi Yuan responded.

However, before leaving, he seemed to remember something. His gaze pierced through the clouds, landing on the old man and Long Qi.

The old man and Long Qi tensed up. They had never been the focus of so many powerful figures at once. The feeling of being in the spotlight was both thrilling and nerve-wracking.

The old man’s thoughts were complicated.

Long Qi could barely contain his excitement.

Xiao Qi... no, the Realm Master still remembered them!

...

In the Cloud Palace, countless ancient texts were as vast as the clouds.

Some were carved on stone tablets, some on bamboo slips, and others printed on paper.

The vast library represented the historical and cultural development of various regions and worlds within the Divine Wood Universe.

The original Origin Secrets was located deep within the library.

"The original Origin Secrets is recorded on divine wood, documenting the various secrets of the Divine Wood Universe.

However, due to the passage of time, many chapters of the original are missing."

Yuan handed the original Origin Secrets to Qi Yuan.

It was less of a book and more of a wooden stele, with carvings on it.

However, this wooden stele had endured countless years of weathering, and many of the characters on it were no longer legible.

"Alright, I’ll take a look first," Qi Yuan said.

His attention turned to the Origin Secrets.

Yuan retreated, leaving the library.

In front of the Origin Secrets, only Qi Yuan remained.

"At the dawn of the universe, the first ancient god was Pan. With a giant axe, he split the heavens and the earth?"

"This... is related to the story I randomly told to the Silent Voice."

"The heavens collapsed, the earth shattered, and the goddess appeared... using stones to mend the earth."

"Did my story influence the Silent Voice or... can my words turn decay into wonder?"

Qi Yuan thought of his special ability.

Without this special ability, he wouldn’t have been able to communicate with the Silent Voice.

His voice could travel to any corner of the world at will, and then... cause special changes, leading to unknown effects.

Qi Yuan speculated.

Perhaps his voice had influenced the Silent Voice, leading to the birth of the Divine Wood Universe.

"It seems... my mouth is quite powerful, capable of making the universe pregnant," Qi Yuan murmured to himself.

In the Origin Secrets, the records about the Divine Wood Abyss only mentioned that it was the origin of the world, a place of nothingness.

"Unfortunately, there’s no mention of the Black Heaven in the Origin Secrets."

The knowledge of the Black Heaven held by the Human Enlightenment Society’s Ancestral Gods might not even compare to Qi Yuan, who had slain countless Specter Gods and swept through the Chaotic Star Domain. ꞦÅƝö𐌱Ęs

After sitting for half a day, Qi Yuan finished reading the Origin Secrets in its entirety.

The first half of the Origin Secrets was very similar to the mythological stories Qi Yuan had told the Silent Voice.

As for the latter part, it detailed the various events of the Black Heaven and Black Earth’s invasion.

The Void Paradise and the Radiant Universe were also mentioned in the Origin Secrets.

"This is..."

Qi Yuan’s gaze moved to the final chapter of the Origin Secrets.

The writing there was completely different from the earlier text, bearing the delicate handwriting of a woman.

"It’s... the same handwriting as on the stone tablet at Sunset Cliff."

Qi Yuan was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected to encounter something like this.

"However... most of the text is illegible."

Qi Yuan tried to decipher it but could only make out eight characters: "Clouds bring rain," and "Thunder roars without cease."

As for the rest, it was too faded to read.

"Cloud, rain, thunder... forging techniques?"

Qi Yuan thought of the eight forging techniques the blind maiden had given him.

"Sigh... the game is almost over. If I can’t find you soon, I might not be able to make eyes for you."

Qi Yuan sighed.

He was a man who valued gratitude deeply.

If he promised something, he would see it through.

Now, the game in this world was nearing its end.

The roles he had played were also coming to an end.

When it was over, it would be time for him to leave.

...

"Yuan... giving him all seven Human Enlightenment Treasures... isn’t that too bold?"

The bearded man was anxious.

The Human Enlightenment Treasures had consumed the lifeblood of the Divine Wood Universe.

They were the only reliance the Human Enlightenment Society had to resist the Black Heaven and Black Earth.

Although Qi Yuan was a Realm Master and a native of this world, the members of the Human Enlightenment Society were not familiar with him.

Who knew if he might turn out to be another "Yi"?

"If the Realm Master wants them, why wouldn’t you give them?" the white-bearded old man said.

Regarding the Human Enlightenment Treasures, most people didn’t want to hand them over to Qi Yuan so quickly upon meeting him.

But who could stop Qi Yuan, given his immense power as a Realm Master?

If Qi Yuan decided to act, even if they all joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for him.

"It’s just that giving them to him so easily makes me a bit uneasy," the bearded man said.

"As the saying goes, if you doubt someone, don’t use them; if you use someone, don’t doubt them. Since the Human Enlightenment Treasures are already in the Realm Master’s hands, what we need to do now is trust him," Sheng Nu said.

The others nodded. At this point, what else could they do but trust him?

"Right, instead of worrying about this, we should focus on how to deal with the Black Heaven and Black Earth."

The Ancestral Gods discussed fervently.

The Black Heaven and Black Earth were coming with overwhelming force, even greater than their last invasion.

The line drawn by the Radiant Dao Lord still existed. Based on the rate at which it was disappearing, the Divine Wood Universe still had ten thousand years.

But this invasion by the Black Heaven and Black Earth was still not to be underestimated.

It was possible... that half the domain would fall, just like last time.

"This time, the Realm Master will be the main force... we... will provide him with intelligence support," one Ancestral God said.

Since Qi Yuan controlled all seven Human Enlightenment Treasures, it would be inappropriate for them to enter the Void Sea.

They could only provide intelligence support to Qi Yuan.

"Let’s hope this battle passes smoothly, without any complications!"

"Right, if we get through this battle, we’ll have more time to breathe. The other seeds can grow, and more Human Enlightenment Treasures can be forged," someone said with enthusiasm.

"Don’t worry. Back then, with only half a Human Enlightenment Treasure, Yuan was able to hold off the enemy in the Void Sea. Now... with seven treasures and the Realm Master leading the charge, what could possibly go wrong?"

...

Time flew by.

Qi Yuan’s appearance had injected a strong dose of confidence into the people of the Imperial Star.

Now, everyone was talking about Qi Yuan, discussing this Realm Master.

Under the moonlight, the surroundings were silent.

The old man had moved into a large mansion. On the table was immortal brew, and the old man sipped his wine, his expression dazed.

"Sigh, how did that kid suddenly become so enlightened? Tomorrow he’s heading to the battlefield. I hope he doesn’t get hurt," the old man worried about Qi Yuan.

He was even afraid that Qi Yuan might fall in the Void Sea.

But he couldn’t say such things out loud—it was bad luck.

"Old Liu, don’t worry. The Realm Master should be fine this time," Ancestral God Qin said.

The secret about the line drawn by the Radiant Dao Lord couldn’t be revealed to the common people, as it would cause panic and trouble.

But Qin could hint at it subtly.

Hearing Ancestral God Qin’s confident tone, Old Liu relaxed. "That’s good to hear."

Long Qi sat beside them, drinking cautiously, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to hide.

Xiao Qi’s sudden rise to Realm Master had a huge impact on Old Liu and him.

They had moved into a large mansion.

Every day, Divine-tier experts and even Ancestral Gods came to visit.

This was something they could never have imagined before.

During this time, Qi Yuan had returned once, leaving everyone in awe.

"I hope Big Brother Qi can unleash his full power and annihilate the Black Heaven and Black Earth!" Long Qi said through gritted teeth.

"To the Realm Master!" Ancestral God Qin raised his cup.

Across the Imperial Star, all the citizens were on edge.

Tomorrow was the day Qi Yuan would head to the front lines, and the war would officially begin.

Some were anxious, some excited, and others hesitant, their thoughts varied.

...

In the Void Sea.

Majestic warships patrolled, ancient and solemn, stained with blood.

Realm Master Wukong’s expression was unreadable. "I heard that this time, the Realm Master will be heading to the Void Sea to face us?"

The other Black Earth clansmen nodded.

"Yes, the Realm Master from the Chaotic Star Domain has killed many of our strong ones," a Supreme Truth Realm Yang God said with apprehension.

"A Realm Master appearing in the Divine Wood Universe... this person is strange," Realm Master Wukong said.

"Hmph, in this battle, the Human Enlightenment Treasures can return, but Qi Yuan must stay in the Void Sea!" A man covered in flames said, his voice filled with killing intent.

"Realm Master Flame, are you avenging your nephew?" Realm Master Wukong glanced at Realm Master Flame.

Realm Master Flame had a nephew named Qi Huang.

He doted on him greatly, even sending him to the safe Chaotic Star Domain to gain experience.

But who would have thought that Qi Huang would die, killed by Qi Yuan?

How could Realm Master Flame not be furious?

"He’s a Realm Master. He won’t be easy to kill," Realm Master Wukong said calmly.

At the Realm Master level, their strengths were similar. Killing one another was extremely difficult.

"I’ll trade my life for his if I have to!" Realm Master Flame said fiercely.

The Yang Gods present were moved.

Although Specter Essence allowed them to revive.

At their level, they tried to avoid using Specter Essence to revive.

Who could say... if the revived version of themselves would still be themselves?

"It seems this nephew of yours is very important to you," Realm Master Wukong said with a smile.

He had heard some rumors.

Qi Huang had many uncles.

Realm Master Flame was one of them.

Perhaps these so-called uncles... were all avatars of Realm Master Flame.

And Qi Huang was the key to Realm Master Flame’s breakthrough to the All Things Realm?

Now that Qi Yuan had killed him, it was natural for Realm Master Flame to be angry.

This was a grudge that blocked his path!

But... trading life for life, in Realm Master Wukong’s view, was unwise.

"Realm Master Wukong, help me kill Qi Yuan!" Realm Master Flame looked at Realm Master Wukong.

Realm Master Wukong hesitated. "I don’t want to risk my life."

Realm Master Flame was willing to trade his life, but Realm Master Wukong wasn’t.

"You assist me from the side. Once it’s done, I’ll open my divine sea and let you comprehend my flame rules!" Realm Master Flame said fiercely.

Hearing this, Realm Master Wukong was surprised. "Really?"

For a Realm Master at the Rule Realm, the most important thing was their rules.

The rules each Realm Master comprehended were their trump card, their greatest reliance.

For Realm Master Flame to open his divine sea and let Realm Master Wukong comprehend his rules was a dangerous move.

During this time, if Realm Master Wukong harbored any ill intentions, Realm Master Flame would die instantly.

However... with Specter Essence, even if he died, he would revive.

But for Realm Master Wukong, reviving would mean he was no longer himself, something he needed to avoid.

Now, Realm Master Flame was offering such a reward to hunt Qi Yuan. How could Realm Master Wukong not be tempted?

"Alright, I’ll help you," Realm Master Wukong said, his heart burning with desire.

If he could master another rule, it would be a significant boost for him.

In the future, he might even have a chance to break through to the All Things Realm, or even the Creation Realm.

Currently, the Black Heaven and Black Earth had Realm Masters at the All Things Realm, but none at the Creation Realm.

If he broke through to the Creation Realm, he would become the number one figure in the Black Heaven and Black Earth.

"If that’s the case... we’ll need to change our battle plan this time," Realm Master Wukong said, deep in thought.

The Black Heaven and Black Earth’s invasion of the Divine Wood Universe.

For the Divine Wood Universe, the war was extremely brutal and intense.

But for the Black Heaven and Black Earth, without the highest orders from the Black Heaven, everything was just... a test and a game.

So, last time, when Yuan entered the Void Sea with half a Human Enlightenment Treasure to resist the Black Heaven and Black Earth’s army.

They had ten thousand ways to kill Yuan.

But in the end, no one made a move.

Because half a Human Enlightenment Treasure was enough for Yuan to trade his life for a Realm Master’s.

No Realm Master was willing to die, even if they could revive with Specter Essence.

But this time was different. Realm Master Flame was willing to die, willing to revive with Specter Essence.

Since someone was willing to pay the price, keeping Qi Yuan in the Void Sea... would be simple.

...

"So this is the Void Sea?"

Qi Yuan entered the Void Sea alone, feeling as if he had stepped into a swamp.

The Void Sea... was a special space formed by the collision of two universes.

Even ordinary Yang Gods found it difficult to move through the Void Sea.

It felt as if every step was restricted, every movement hindered.

Only Realm Masters and those above could significantly reduce these restrictions.

Of course, if one held a Divine Light Treasure, even ordinary Divine-tier or Heaven-tier beings could enter the Void Sea.

"Half a day’s journey ahead, and you’ll reach the Black Heaven and Black Earth’s fleet," Yuan’s voice came through the communication device. "Realm Master, all you need to do is hold the Human Enlightenment Treasures and block the fleet’s advance!"

Last time, Yuan had done just that, holding off the Black Heaven and Black Earth for over a decade.

In the end, the fleet retreated, not advancing further.

"Alright," Qi Yuan nodded.

Aside from the seven Human Enlightenment Treasures, he also carried five special communication devices.

These devices relied on the Human Enlightenment Treasures, allowing Qi Yuan to receive messages from the Divine Wood Universe even in the Void Sea.

"What if they attack me?" Qi Yuan asked. "Can I fight back?"

"Under normal circumstances, the Black Heaven and Black Earth won’t rashly attack you in the Void Sea," Yuan explained.

The Realm Masters of the Black Heaven and Black Earth valued their lives too much. No one was willing to trade their life for another’s.

"But if someone attacks you, Realm Master, you are naturally free to retaliate," Yuan said seriously.

"What if I want to attack first?" Qi Yuan asked.
