Chapter 2692: Endless Starry Sky Integration, New Superpower-Dominated Pattern

After receiving the Emperors, Jiang Ding once more returned to the depths of the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace.

He gently closed his eyes, only feeling the Human Race Heavenly Dao Fortune surging toward him like the tide, gathering around him, gathering above his head, condensing into a profound black nine-tasselled crown, strands of heavy Destiny hanging down like silk.

In its form, it bore certain resemblance to the Emperor’s Crown of former years.

Yet this was not the Emperor’s Crown; the Emperor’s Crown lay with Emperor Huanggu. Perhaps thirty million years hence it could shatter Emperor Huanggu’s crown, but now, it could not. The Heavenly Dao of the Golden Era sheltered Emperor Huanggu, granting him one lifetime of undying, Immortal existence.

This was the Human Race Destiny Crown.

This was the Saint Crown of the Human Race of this age!

The Ancient Sun Emperor of the Supreme Great Sun was not the contemporary Great Emperor of all races beneath the Endless Starry Sky, yet he was the one upon whom the Human Dao Fortune converged, the present Human Race Saint Emperor recognized and favored by the Human Dao, the one cherished by the Human Race Heavenly Dao!

This is the Human Race Heavenly Dao.

You need not curry its favor; you need only be strong enough, need only be able to bring sufficient benefit to the Human Race, then the Human Race Heavenly Dao will look upon you with favor, even if but a moment ago you had struck at the Human Race Heavenly Dao and were judged by it a traitor to the Human Race—none of that matters.

“Human Race Destiny…”

Jiang Ding quietly comprehended the workings of the Human Race Heavenly Dao Fortune.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, a clear point emerged.

This was the place where the Human Race Destiny had settled, where generations of Human Emperors had ceaselessly Refining it, the Supreme Treasure of the supreme race of the Human Race—the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot!

Boom!

Rumble…

Across the Endless Starry Sky, wind and cloud surged, countless Great Daos intertwined, unnumbered bolts of thunder blossomed, and layers upon layers of visions surged above the Nine Heavens.

Countless epic sagas and legends from the history of the Human Race appeared in the sky.

At this moment, every member of the Human Race, so long as they had reached a certain height, suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts, inexplicably turning toward the central direction of the Supreme Great Sun Domain, as though sensing some mixture of majesty, intimacy, belonging, and other such feelings.

All gazes grew dazed, as if they beheld a palace of boundless brilliance and endless radiance descending from the high heavens, falling before a Human Race being crowned upon the head.

This Human Race being stood high amidst the Nine Heavens, silently watching the beings of the Human World.

“Saint Emperor!”

“Holy Emperor, Your Majesty…”

In that instant, who knew how many strong cultivators of the Human Race felt their hearts quake.

Many people found, without knowing why, a sense of peace rising in their hearts, as though they now had a foundation to rely on, as though the entire Human Race had gained a buttress beneath it.

Here, within the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace.

The entirety of the Human Race Heavenly Dao Fortune seemed to become tangible, to gain an absolute center, becoming ever more efficient, ever more terrifying. In an instant it was as though a Phoenix cried, a True Dragon roared in fury, while the Golden Crow screamed in retreat; the Human Race Heavenly Dao occupied the highest peak of Destiny.

The Human Race Heavenly Dao had successfully suppressed the Destinies of the myriad races!

Many powerhouses of the Alien Race wore looks of resentment, yet it was but for a fleeting moment; they did not dare reveal such dissatisfaction, their caution reaching the extreme.

In this moment, all radiance beneath heaven and earth fell upon the green-clothed youth.

The invincible one of the Endless Starry Sky had, for the first time, set forth the first order of the Endless Starry Sky: that the Human Race would occupy the principal seat, while the myriad races formed a Pattern of stars encircling and supporting it.

This order was relatively mild; there was no sole supremacy of the Human Race, no brutal suppression and slaughter of the myriad races.

Yet it bore coldness as well: any race that dared provoke the principal status of the Human Race would come to know the terror of the invincible one of the Endless Starry Sky.

Gradually, all visions faded.

An ancient palace, mottled with age and immeasurably old, appeared before the multitude, and at some unknown juncture it merged with the old Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace, becoming a vast complex of palaces stretched unending across the Starry Sky, a composite palace cluster encompassing functions of slumber, cultivation, planting, defense, maneuvering, and more.

“Dubhe…”

“It truly has been a long time; I’ve missed it greatly.”

Jiang Ding’s expression took on a look of nostalgia, rare genuine feeling showing through.

Throughout his life, he had avoided close to a hundred million years of time; apart from his home in Fulin Community on the Mother Star, the other place that could be called home was the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot.

Here he had spent his three lifetimes and ninety million years, the time he had dwelt here far surpassing that of any other place, long since accustomed to every blade of grass and tree, every patch of mottling upon the walls, every arrangement—there were many memories bound to them.

At the very instant the Supreme Great Sun Day Pivot manifested, the Human Race Heavenly Dao Fortune was completely stabilized, suppressing the Destinies of the myriad races!

This was the true Luck Suppressing Treasure of the Human Race!

“Fellow Daoists, you should all be somewhat familiar with this place, no?”

“From now on this will be our place of cultivation and administration. If any Fellow Daoist wishes, you may apply for one or two spaces; there is still room to spare.”

Jiang Ding said with a smile, taking the lead and stepping into the palace.

“Our thanks, Sword Master!”

Many Ancient Emperors, their thoughts complicated, bowed in thanks once more.

The Human Race Emperors were naturally very familiar with this place; they had once ruled over the Day Pivot. The Alien Race Emperors likewise knew much of this Human Race Luck Suppressing Treasure.

Yet, leaving aside such complicated thoughts, the cultivation environment here was indeed the pinnacle of the Endless Starry Sky, far surpassing the Ziwei Ancient Realm, holding great benefit for cultivation, and likewise for slumber—ever more efficient, with far less damage to the Immortal Body.

The Emperors gradually dispersed, each to their own affairs.

In the depths of the Day Pivot, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, the Yueyin Ancient Emperor, the Fusang Empress, and Gong Caiyu took up residence in the innermost reaches. The expressions on their faces were all full of deep reminiscence and joy, returning once more to the homes they had been parted from for so long; in an instant, they all relaxed considerably.

“Soft persimmons,”

“We must quickly handle the Taoist Soldiers of the Forbidden Zone Emperors.”

Jiang Ding instructed, “Do not slaughter them; let them go. These little cultivators have not committed much evil; they were all forced. Do not make things hard for them.”

“Those among them who can be drawn in, extend invitations—on a voluntary basis.”

Among the Taoist Soldiers of the twenty-six Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, there were surely many who could be called Elites—numerous Imperial Realm, Supremes, and suchlike. Any who were willing to serve, the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty would naturally accept; such talent could never be too abundant, no matter how many.

As for the restrictions upon the Forbidden Zone Tao Soldiers and the like, even if the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor and others did not them, to the Seven-character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor they were no great issue.

The height of the Immortal Dao Civilization of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty was overwhelmingly superior.

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

Fusang nodded earnestly.

“Furthermore, from now on the Endless Starry Sky will enter an age of free trade and free competition.”

Jiang Ding continued.

“We must continue to strengthen the Immortal Dynasty’s Forbidden Zone Tao Soldiers, and station troops at military bases throughout the Endless Starry Sky, ensuring that we may always safeguard the free trade of the Endless Starry Sky, and strike down any beings whose actions disrupt free trade, destroy talent, or constitute unfair competition…”

“The military expenditures of the bases will be borne by the powers of their respective locations.”

“Also…”

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, the Yueyin Ancient Emperor, and others, together with many Xianmen cultivators and numerous core Ancient Emperors, slowly deliberated upon and established the future order of the Endless Starry Sky.

On the whole, crude and direct wars would lessen.

Hereafter, the Endless Starry Sky would form a Pattern of one superpower and many strong states, free trade, industrial integration across the Endless Starry Sky, free competition under a legal framework, protection of human rights, and so on.

This order would persist through the era of the Five-Word Immortal Scripture, the Four-Word Immortal Scripture, and even briefer Immortal Scripture eras, until all the Ancient Emperors reached their own endpoints and could no longer advance.

At that time, the truly terrifying final war of becoming Immortal would appear.
