Chapter 772: Chapter 772

The Yuan Yang Star Domain was a vast star domain governing countless star clusters and galaxies. It had produced numerous Astral Gods over time.

To date, these Astral Gods continued to project their influence in the Yuan Yang Star Domain, protecting their descendants and enabling their families to flourish, dominate galaxies, and even entire star clusters.

Not long ago, several major clans of the Yuan Yang Star Domain suffered heavy blows, shattering the established power structure and stirring countless ambitious Astral God clans into action. Latest content publıshed on novel{f}ire.net

Some even seized the opportunity to launch wars, plundering resources to enrich their family foundations in hopes of cultivating more Astral Gods in the future and strengthening their influence.

However, ten years ago, following the issuance of a single command, the chaotic Yuan Yang Star Domain suddenly fell silent.

Now, ten years later, order had been restored, and the Yuan Yang Star Domain had once again returned to its previous state of stable prosperity. The only difference was that the original overlords had changed.

The current Yuan Yang Star Domain seemed to have been divided into three powers, forming a tripartite standoff.

Among the three major powers, the strongest was undoubtedly the Xuan Clan from the Divine Treasury Hall.

This clan already held immense authority within the Divine Treasury Hall system, possessing more than just one Eternal Solar Flare.

For the benefit of the Yuan Yang Star Domain, they even dispatched a Solar Flare's combat-specialized avatar alongside nine Starshine Astral Gods' combat-specialized avatars to personally oversee matters.

It was said their true bodies weren't far from the Yuan Yang Star Domain, constantly maintaining a high-pressure stance of readiness to descend with their divine forms at any moment.

The second power was the Si Clan.

Compared to the Xuan Clan, the Si Clan was inferior by a fair margin. However, their reputation was still not to be underestimated, having more than ten Astral Gods within the clan.

Furthermore, unlike the outsider Xuan Clan, the Si Clan was a native family in the Yuan Yang Star Domain. They naturally attracted the allegiance and closeness of other local forces. Even if their power was less than that of the Xuan Clan's, they still couldn't be overlooked in the region.

As for the final powerhouse... It was so weak that it seemed completely incomparable to the Xuan and Si Clans. They did not have a single Astral God combat-specialized avatar stationed.

Their only noteworthy assets were three Tier Six Legends.

Yet, not a single faction in the entire Yuan Yang Star Domain dared to underestimate this faction. Even the Xuan and Si Clans treated them with great respect.

Why? Because this was the Gaian civilization—a great civilization backed by a Cosmic Radiance and an Eternal Solar Flare.

The only reason the other two clans could gain a foothold in the Yuan Yang Star Domain was because of a single command from that great Cosmic Radiance behind the Gaian Civilization.

Moreover, the two clans understood very well why they even had a stake in the Yuan Yang Star Domain. The newborn Gaian Civilization was still too weak to occupy the region on its own. It needed other forces to support it. This explained the involvement of the Xuan and Si Clans.

Therefore, the Xuan and Si Clans fully understood their position.

Even if they only played a supporting role, the benefits of occupying an entire star domain caused both clans' power to surge rapidly.

At this moment, over a dozen individuals were engaged in discussion on the core planet of the Yuan Yang Star Domain—Yuan Yang Radiance—in a high tower named after the star domain itself.

"The Tuoba family sent word. They are willing to be ruled by our three clans."

"The Ao Clan also sent a generous gift and promised to ensure the stability of the Odell Star Cluster from now on, also welcoming us to send representatives to maintain order."

"The envoy from Taiyi Sect is already on their way. According to reports, they brought several fleets of supplies along with the envoy, which means they likely don't have the courage to continue resisting us."

One by one, the Astral Gods and Legends exchanged news.

The factions they mentioned were without exception the top forces in the Yuan Yang Star Domain, second only to the great clans.

Not only had their ancestors produced Eternal Solar Flares, but they also continued to retain indirect ties with them.

For example, a genius they once supported might have become a Solar Flare, or one of their daughters might have married into a Solar Flare household.

They simply weren't like the former hegemonic powers of Yuan Yang Radiance, where the Eternal Solar Flare was part of their own bloodline.

Beyond Solar Flare ties, these forces also had no shortage of Astral Gods. Were any one of them were to bring out all their Astral Gods, they would be able to crush the Si Clan easily.

Only when the Xuan Clan mobilized their full strength could they be suppressed.

But now, everything was settled.

All these families wisely chose to submit and accept the rule of the alliance formed by the three great powers.

"It was understandable for these major powers to bow their heads. Not long ago, I heard news that His Majesty Light of Origin challenged the Supreme Ladder and, this time, reached the eighty-second step."

The one speaking at this moment was the Eternal Solar Flare of the Xuan Clan, who called himself Xuan Yang.

Though he was an Eternal Solar Flare, in the presence of the other Astral Gods and Legends, he showed not a trace of arrogance. His tone and expression were extremely humble.

"Eighty-two steps... This is truly unbelievable! If some people still secretly claimed His Majesty Light of Origin's breakthrough to the eightieth step was luck, then this time, with him reaching the eighty-second step, no one would dare to harbor any doubts. This is genuine, Cosmic Tyrant-level strength!"

Within the Gaian civilization, Xiang Tianxing, who had reached Tier Six Legend, and Yuan Zhenchuan, who barely qualified to attend, also felt a sense of pride upon hearing the words of this Eternal Solar Flare.

They did not know exactly how powerful a Cosmic Tyrant was. Even though their horizons had greatly expanded over the years, to them, an Eternal Solar Flare, who could dominate an entire star domain, was already a towering figure.

The only image they could envision of a Cosmic Radiance was when Astral God Yin Luo returned to the void and released its full power, illuminating the entire Yin Luo Galaxy.

An even stronger Cosmic Tyrant was beyond their imagination. They only knew it was a being stronger than the Cosmic Radiance itself.

Thus, apart from sighing in awe, all that remained in their hearts was reverence and admiration.

As for Xuan Jian, this Astral God from the Divine Treasury Hall system looked dazed when hearing his patriarch mention the eighty-second step of the Supreme Ladder.

As an Astral God, he naturally understood the weight the Supreme Ladder's eighty-second step represented.

Not a Tyrant, yet greater than a Tyrant.

Even if one flipped the number eighty-two, it was still a level of achievement beyond his reach.

"A hundred years ago, I personally escorted His Majesty Light of Origin from the Void Divine Treasury Hall back to Yin Luo. Back then, he was merely a Divine Being... though admittedly, he was far too powerful to be called one..."

As Xuan Jian reminisced, scenes from the past played before his eyes, as vivid as yesterday.

"Even though I already knew back then that His Majesty Light of Origin's future achievements would be immeasurable, I never imagined this day would come so quickly and so forcefully."

The weight of those words was a realm none in the entire Xuan family dared even to imagine.

Xuan Jian let out a long breath.

At this moment, he deeply understood the vast, immeasurable gap between ordinary people and Supreme Prodigies. It was a chasm so vast that even the shadow of such a person was forever out of reach.

It was not just him; the people of the Si Clan felt the same, especially Si Xing, who recalled that Li Pin had once sought cultivation advice from him.

So, I'm also a person who has once mentored a Cosmic Tyrant?

Si Xing thought that if he ever founded a clan, he would definitely record this line in the ancestral teachings.

Originally, achieving Tier Four Legend through spiritual comprehension was his limit, but now, he had become a Tier Six Legend! A realm forcefully achieved by the Si Clan by funneling him with countless resources.

He knew exactly why the clan had poured such vast resources into him. They feared that if he died of old age, they would lose their connection to Li Pin, who was a great Cosmic Radiance.

Now, Li Pin was even referred to as a Tyrant-level existence. That was why the clan spared no cost to help Si Xing become a Tier Six Legend.

In the future, if conditions allowed, Si Xing would undoubtedly be the first to receive all resources related to becoming an Astral God.

Only in this way could he enter the Astral World and truly keep pace with the Cosmic Radiance, preserving this precious connection.

For these three factions, it was basically a case where the entire clan prospered due to a single person's success.

While the three factions reaped abundant rewards thanks to Li Pin, in the prestigious Immortal Bloom Sword Sect of the Human Race, there was a lady clad in snow-white robes. The lady stared at the return letter in her hand, her face full of disbelief.

She looked in disbelief at the lady who had given her the response. "Didn't Master say that if I could one day reach the Supreme Ladder's fiftieth step without external aid, he would accept me as his personal disciple? I clearly surpassed the fiftieth step, even reaching the fifty-first. Why—"

"This was the Master's decision. I am only following her orders," the lady replied coldly.

Standing beside the lady clad in snow-white robes was a young girl in a long, green dress. She asked in confusion, "Senior Sister Cai Tong, could there be some mistake? Sister Suxin has worked so hard. In the Heavenly Prison World, she even cultivated a Supreme Technique to the third level. Why?"

The lady by the name of Cai Tong glanced at her, then turned her gaze to Liu Suxin. "Junior Sister Liu, since you've mentioned the Heavenly Prison World, then you surely know what you had done when you were there."

Liu Suxin, who was also the Stormwind Tower's leader in the Heavenly Prison World, was momentarily stunned at these words. "The Heavenly Prison World?"

Then, as if recalling something, her beautiful face turned a shade paler.

"You remember now?" Cai Tong looked at her and said indifferently, "In the Heavenly Prison World, you fanned the flames, nearly putting His Majesty Light of Origin in danger. Had he not been supremely gifted and swept away all alien scum, he might have fallen then. Afterward, Wang Fuyun gave you a chance to provide compensation for your actions. What did you do then?"

Cai Tong's expression turned cold. "You never offered any compensation that could satisfy Wang Fuyun or anyone else. Thereafter, once the Heavenly Prison World was opened, you quietly slipped away. His Majesty Light of Origin never pursued the matter, but did you think you could just pretend it never happened?"
