Covering the Sky: Starting from Incarnation in the Forbidden Zone of Life

Chapter 36 The Arrival of the Cult of the Sun God

"Moon and Sun?"

Yu Dao put down his teacup, his memory flashing back to various things about these two mother scriptures of the human race.

Unlike the great era of the ancient times when many human emperors emerged, the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Sun Holy Emperor were the only two human beings to achieve enlightenment during the ancient era.

In that era when countless races coexisted and the human race was in decline, two human emperors successively attained enlightenment, securing a place for the human race under this starry sky.

Both were extraordinary, especially the Taiyin Human Emperor, who was given the title of Human Emperor. Many people firmly believed that he lived a third life and entered the path to immortality in his later years. He went very far on that path and almost succeeded.

The Sun Emperor was equally brilliant; his Sun Scripture illuminated the path of humanity, and its educational influence has lasted for millennia.

The Yin and Yang are opposites that give rise to each other. One governs death, and the other governs life, yet they embrace each other, like the Yin-Yang fish, their heads and tails intertwined, sharing life and death.

"It is indeed mysteriously related to the cycle of life and death," Yu Dao said thoughtfully.

"It's a pity that both the Taiyin and Taiyang ancient emperors have passed away, and we cannot sit down and discuss the Dao with you, Daoist brother." The Great Emperor of Shenzhou sighed slightly. He knew that the cultivation method of Yu Dao gathered the wisdom of all living beings, and the best way was for the founder himself to appear and demonstrate the method, revealing his lifelong understanding of the Dao without reservation. A trace of the Dao or a scroll of scripture could never compare to a living Daoist demonstrating it in person.

These words made Yu Dao's eyes flicker slightly.

The Great Emperor of China was not wrong; both the Holy Emperor of the Sun and the Human Emperor of the Moon have passed away.

But Yu Dao remembered that these two people gave birth to divine thoughts after their deaths, and they still exist in the present universe!

The thoughts of deities are the evil thoughts of emperors and sovereigns after their deaths. They are an indestructible obsession that can be borrowed from the fruits of one's past life.

In the current understanding of the universe, such an obsession is undoubtedly a complete demise; even if one were to borrow the fruits of one's past life, it would be nothing more than a fleeting moment, vanishing in an instant.

But this is only from a humanitarian perspective.

From a longer-term perspective, this is not necessarily the case.

In the chaotic ancient era, there once existed an unparalleled elixir crafted with the Three-Life Elixir, capable of reviving even the most long-dead Immortal Kings from the heavens and earth. In the future, with the power of the Immortal Emperor illuminating the heavens, it will be able to resurrect an entire destroyed world along with all its living beings.

What many in the humanitarian field consider a complete fall is far from the true end.

Faith methods, soul-summoning elixirs, burial earth secrets... Several methods related to resurrection flashed through Yu Dao's divine consciousness in an instant.

The existence of divine thoughts can serve as a catalyst for some methods, preserving the hope of resurrection.

"Although the two emperors have passed away, their Dao endures. Let's first go to the lineage of Taiyin and Taiyang and see if we can gain anything," Yu said with a smile.

He wasn't entirely confident that he could resurrect the two emperors. He would first trace the lineage of the two emperors, peruse the ancient scriptures of Taiyin and Taiyang, and then use the causal connections between these lineages to deduce the location of the divine consciousness, one step at a time.

At this point in time, the lineages of the two human emperors seemed to be in rather poor condition...

Thinking of this, some fragments from the original work flashed through Yu Dao's mind.

What truly allows the Supreme Dao lineage to endure is the Supreme Dao divine weapon, capable of suppressing all invading enemies even when the Great Emperor is absent.

The arrival of an old saint with little life left, wielding an imperial weapon, was enough to terrify any other force!

The imperial weapons of both ancient imperial lineages have long been lost.

The Emperor's Seal was damaged during the Dark Turmoil, the gods slumbered, and it eventually fell into the hands of the Kunlun remnants.

The Sun Stone Tower stands beside the coffin of the Sun Emperor, silent for eternity.

Without the imperial army's power to suppress them, the plight of the two major religions is predictable.

The Sun God Cult, once at its zenith, suffered a devastating blow when its Sun Quasi-Emperor was ambushed and killed by several palace masters from the Underworld, leaving it crippled and unable to recover. Today, it is not considered outstanding among the many forces on the ancient planet Ziwei, and in fact, due to its possession of the ancient emperor's legacy, it attracts numerous rivals.

In the future, the Sun God Cult was completely destroyed by the Golden Crow Clan, leaving only a child named Ye Tong who was rescued and taken as a disciple by Emperor Ye.

The Taiyin Divine Sect was in an even more tragic state. After the Human Emperor's Seal was lost, the Duanmu family usurped its territory, and the main lineage was almost completely wiped out. Only a few collateral branches that had married out preserved the Human Emperor's bloodline, such as some of the descendants of Emperor Hengyu.

Both emperors made great contributions to the world. Yet their descendants met such an end…

Yu Dao sighed softly. From his previous life, he had held these two emperors in high regard.

Now that we wish to use the methods of the two human emperors to perfect the Dao Palace Secret Realm, we must naturally repay this karmic debt and take care of their descendants.

"Let's go, Jiuyou. Accompany me to the Ziwei Star Region."

Yu Dao put down his teacup and stood up. His plain robe fluttered slightly in the sunlight filtering through the peach trees.

"Yes, senior." Gai Jiuyou also stood up.

Yu Dao raised his hand, and the Wheel of Reincarnation flew out from his sleeve, its chaotic light spreading out in the void to form an extremely thin passage. That passage pierced through the perpetual black mist above Hun Tian Ridge, pierced through the boundary of the Big Dipper Star Region, and pierced through the boundless starry sky. One end was beneath his feet, and the other end had already disappeared into the other side of the Milky Way. He stepped into the passage, Gai Jiuyou following closely behind, and the two figures vanished in an instant among the ruins of Hun Tian Ridge.

The starry sky reversed, and the stars on both sides of the passage transformed into streaks of light and flew backward. In just a few breaths, a huge, ancient life-bearing star, which appeared entirely purple from the perspective of the universe, appeared before the two.

"Senior, where should we go first?" Gai Jiuyou asked.

"Let's go to the Sun God Cult first."

Yu Dao spoke, explaining that the Taiyin Divine Sect had been usurped and was no longer under its original control. Unless it was thoroughly eradicated, there was no one worth visiting.

Two figures flashed outside the domain and appeared inside the Ziwei Star Domain in the next instant.

…………

The Sun God Cult's mountain gate is nestled among a range of rolling mountains. The mountains are entirely reddish-brown, and the rock surfaces retain a glassy sheen left by the eternal scorching of the sun's true fire.

The buildings on the mountain should have been magnificent, but now they are dilapidated and full of traces of vicissitudes.

The current leader of the Sun God Cult is an old sage. He stands atop a mountain peak, looking down at the dilapidated ancient cult, and sighs.

Since that upheaval whose cause remains unclear to this day, the essence of the Sun God Cult has been completely lost, its foundation shattered, and its ancient scriptures missing. It has fallen from one of the strongest lineages of the Ziwei Ancient Star to a second or third-rate one, and its power has retreated again and again.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to take that step and reach the realm of a sage back then, the ancient sect probably wouldn't even be able to keep its current small territory.

But he was already very old, not too far from passing away, and the few remaining descendants of the Sun God Cult were not capable of shouldering the responsibility.

"No lineage in this world is immortal; even emperors and sovereigns will one day come to an end." He sighed softly, as if he had already foreseen the fate of the Ancient Sun Cult.

"I only hope that the great human religions, such as the Human King's Palace, will consider the Holy Emperor's achievements and help the Imperial Ancestor preserve a bloodline..."

Despite saying that, he wasn't really sure.

Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep; who cares about the frost on someone else's roof? Over the years, he has traveled far and wide, and has long since tasted the bitterness and coldness of human relationships.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in the old sage's eyes.

His pupils contracted: "Who's there?"
