The pleasant sound of birds chirping, the intermittent sound of flowing water...

Wu Wang opened his eyes, devoid of any vitality. He saw nothing but a vast expanse of white. Before he could even think, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This time, it was a true slumber.

Unlike the forced sleep caused by the strange illness, Wu Wang could only think of one thing at this moment - exhaustion.

His body felt as if it had suffered a fatal wound, bringing him close to death, yet death seemed so far away.

Images flashed through his mind:

[In a silver-toned dormitory, several young people wearing light blue uniforms gathered around a small table, drinking small cups of wine and chatting about the new nurse from the neighboring medical team, comparing her to a female celebrity.]

[On the grassland, a carriage raced forward at high speed. Wu Wang sat inside, gazing at the distant horizon. Occasionally, he would turn his head to look at the voluptuous female guard beside him, feeling a slight tremor in his throat, then regretfully shifting his gaze away.]

[In a magnificent palace, "himself" sat in a luxurious pool made of precious materials, with a snake tail gently swaying. Outside the pool, a beautiful and enchanting woman appeared. They all had innate divine bodies, and each of them lowered their heads and entered the pool, swimming to the side of the snake tail, gently washing it...]

It was a bit too much to bear, and Wu Wang felt somewhat embarrassed even in his unconscious state.

He had forgotten who said it, but it was said that the Star God despised men, so the sacrificial rituals in the North Wilderness had always been carried out by women.

Wu Wang used to not believe it...

But now he was convinced.

The three scenes intertwined, and his memories became somewhat confused.

Wu Wang faintly sensed something and consciously separated the memories related to the Star God, constantly suggesting to himself that this was a "simulation training" to prevent his true consciousness from being disturbed.

He didn't know how long it had been, or how much effort he had put in.

Wu Wang finally isolated the memories of the Star God from his consciousness, allowing himself to observe this segment of the Star God's story in an orderly manner without confusing his "true self."

This memory should only be a fragment of the Star God's memory, totaling about a hundred years, longer than the combined time of Wu Wang's two lifetimes.

And the content of the memory was extremely monotonous, consisting of nothing but the starry sky and the temple.

The lonely snake-tailed goddess under the starry sky;

The magnificent and spectacular temple, built with all the treasures in the world, emitting a silver-white glow in the bright moonlight.

Outside the temple, on the endless grassland, men and women of various ethnicities dressed in simple robes huddled in caves;

When the sun rose, they began to hunt and gather far away, collecting enough fruits and vegetables.

Surviving, reproducing, and offering the most beautiful individuals from their offspring to be taken to the sky by the guards in silver armor and sent to the temple.

This was the Star God's memory for the past hundred years.

From the environment to the state of mind, from the body to the soul, there was no ripple.

Was being a primordial god so dull?

Wu Wang let this memory gradually fade away, only to realize that his spirit, which had just recovered, was once again overwhelmed by exhaustion, almost to the point of despair.

Just sleep a little longer.

It seemed that the memory of the Star God had been sealed away, probably by his mother or an elder.

If he allowed these memories to impact him, would he become the Star God?

Wu Wang couldn't help but worry, but after thinking for a moment, he slightly relieved himself.

There was no need for too much. A few fragments of memories spanning hundreds of years would be too much for his spirit to bear and would cause him to collapse...

I wonder if the trouble on his mother's side has been resolved.

If it has, he should search the Star God's body a few more times, making sure there are no "hidden compartments" and giving the Star God the illusion that "I can counterattack."

Drowsy and hazy.

Wu Wang fell asleep like this, feeling as if he was lying on a block of ice. Gradually, his body began to feel real, as if he was lying on a soft cushion.

Occasionally, there would be people talking beside him.

Someone would advise Su Qing to rest, but Su Qing, with her slightly tired voice, would refuse;

Celestial Sword Taoist would come to his side every once in a while and inform the people around him about Wu Wang's current condition;

Every two or three days, he would hear a melodious flute sound, feeling extremely comfortable, and then fall into a deep sleep.

[Is this the price of forcibly driving the Star God's body with his own?]

Not only that, but also burning the remnants of the Star God's soul in the spiritual platform, which was severely damaged by the colorful fire of the elder, causing his own essence, energy, and spirit to be depleted.

The combination of the two made him feel as if he was about to collapse.

No, there was another effect...

The moment he controlled the Star God's body with his divine sense, the fatal injury suffered by the Star God seemed to become his own fatal injury.

At this moment, Wu Wang's "divine sense" had recovered slightly, but he "felt injured" and couldn't wake up.

Before losing consciousness, what happened between him and the Star God?

After a brief review, it was probably:

[The last trace of the Star God's remnant consciousness caused trouble, wanting to possess him and merge with his Dao. He even left a wedge in the Star God's original body using a strand of his divine soul, making it convenient for him to return in the future.

He turned the tables, leading the Star God's remnant consciousness into his spiritual platform, and with the help of the Yan Emperor's command, he alarmed the Shen Nong elder. The two of them worked together to bury the Star God.

Afterwards, he found that his mother had encountered trouble. Wu Wang vaguely felt that after the Star God's thoughts completely dissipated and due to the previous arrangements his mother made in the Star God's body, the Star God's body was still alive;

And his divine soul, which served as the wedge, took up residence in the Star God's body, scaring away the gods of the Heavenly Palace.]

Thinking about it carefully, it was quite thrilling.

Tsk, when it comes to reverse possession, who can compare to the North Wilderness' Wu Wang!

But it was indeed too dangerous.

If it weren't for external intervention in time, Wu Wang would have been buried with the Star God;

Even if he wasn't overwhelmed by the waves surging from the Star God's memory, he would still be trapped in the Star God's "injury" and unable to wake up, assimilated by the Star God's body.

The gap between the two levels of life was simply too great.

After a brief period of active thinking, the feeling of exhaustion came over him once again, and Wu Wang fell back asleep.

But this time, his sleep became lighter and lighter.

"Wu Wang, my brother..."

It was the voice of Ling Xianzi.

"I don't know how long you're going to sleep. Everyone is a bit worried about you. Auntie said that your deep sleep was caused by the impact on your own spirit. I don't know how you got this injury.""Do you want to listen to the sound of the qin or the sound of the flute? Tomorrow, I will play the qin for you."

"I wonder if our Mysterious Female Sect's music can make you feel more comfortable."

"Thank you, Fairy."

Wu Wang muttered in his heart, and Elemental Infant turned over and continued to sleep.

"How can he sleep for two years?"

Wu Wang's father, Xiong Han, shouted loudly outside the tent, "Isn't this just wasting his time? Get a few people to lift him up and let him move around!"

"Leader, the young master is still sleeping..."

"Can't he move while sleeping?"

"No!"

Lin Suqing's voice sounded a little nervous.

Wu Wang could already imagine that she opened her arms and stood in front of the tent door.

Lin Suqing said, "Leader, you can't do this! The young master's mental state is injured, which means his brain is injured, just like those men who can't wake up after being knocked unconscious! He must rest quietly. You can't force him to wake up, otherwise... otherwise... it will easily lead to infertility in the future."

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. How could I dare to lie to you?"

It was just a little coaxing.

Xiong Han then withdrew his order, took a few glances at Wu Wang inside the tent, and found that his complexion was rosy and his breathing was steady, so he stopped worrying and continued to patrol with a large group of Bear Hug Clan soldiers.

Wu Wang's Elemental Infant almost burst out laughing.

Infertility? Suqing can really make things up. He can't even touch a woman, let alone have offspring.

Oh!

He took over the Star God's body, although it was only a strand of divine soul and couldn't do anything beyond blinking.

But can he forcibly catch up to the life level of the Sky God?

Then can he lift the curse on himself?

Wu Wang's Elemental Infant sat up abruptly. He sat up from his bed and forced himself to open his reddened eyes, revealing a gentle smile!

"Ah! Young Master!"

A soft call came from the tent door, and Lin Suqing ran over excitedly. The guards outside the tent were also energized.

"Hush!"

Wu Wang made a gesture for silence and beckoned to Lin Suqing, "Come here, touch me!"

Lin Suqing was first stunned, then her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the bedside, holding her breath and staring at Wu Wang...

"You, are you okay, Young Master?"

"Quickly!"

Wu Wang urged, and a crimson light appeared in his eyes.

The young master's reckless pre-marriage life might be able to be made up for now!

Ahem! Pah, pah, pah!

It's different now, it's different from before.

With a slightly tired look and a few yawns, Ling Xiaolan walked away with a roll of her eyes and walked out of the tent.

Is this it?

What's so exciting about it?

I thought the young master had been attacked at night.

"Go and inform the leader, the young master can wake up now."

The guards outside the door received the order and there was a chaotic clamor outside the tent.

...

Sleeping for two years and three months was something Wu Wang had never expected.

But fortunately, he was only the young master, so his long sleep did not cause any turmoil in the clan, but it made the clan members worry for a long time.

To celebrate the awakening of the young master, the clan members held a grand banquet, making Wu Wang wish he could knock himself out with a stick and continue sleeping.

After all the fuss, after drinking with his father Xiong Han, having a conversation with Celestial Sword Taoist, and expressing his gratitude to Fairy Ling, they asked him what had happened. Wu Wang explained that he had made a mistake in his cultivation, forcefully breaking through the barriers left by the Sky God, which caused damage to his Elemental Infant.

Killing the last strand of divine thought of the Star God was not something that needed to be publicized.

After deliberately showing a bit of fatigue, yawning a few times, Ling Xiaolan said concernedly, "Brother Wu, you should rest well for now. We can talk tomorrow. Don't strain your mental state too much."

Wu Wang's gaze carried a hint of apology as he looked at this increasingly beautiful and gentle Human Realm Saintess. There was a warmth in his heart.

For more than two years, she had played three hundred songs for him, soothing the pain and restlessness in his divine thoughts.

This was already a great favor, and he needed to repay it.

After the people left the tent, Wu Wang closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Before long, starlight filled the air, and Wu Wang felt a certain kind of guidance in his heart. The necklace that had never left his chest also rippled slightly.

Guided by his divine thoughts, Wu Wang once again saw the Star God's temple.

With that, he felt a mysterious attraction from the void above the Star God's temple, as if it wanted to drag his divine thoughts over and settle in the body of the Star God.

"Ah."

His mother's sigh came from beside him, and a ray of light flew out of the temple, gently pulling Wu Wang into the temple.

The temple was empty.

For the first time, Wu Wang saw his mother sitting on the throne in a white dress, so ethereal, so sacred, and so unlike a mortal being.

"You..."

Cang Xue complained softly and patted the seat next to the throne.

Wu Wang climbed up the steps from under the throne, but turned a corner and stood aside, not sitting with his mother.

Cang Xue asked, "Did you discuss it with the Yan Emperor?"

She pointed behind Wu Wang, and divine light condensed into a magnificent chair.

"Hehe, we didn't really discuss it."

Wu Wang sat on the seat with his legs crossed, turning the "sitting posture" into a "carefree and unrestrained" one.

He said, "The Yan Emperor's command is in my body. When he feels the powerful divine thoughts of the Star God descending, it will naturally alarm Senior Shen Nong."

"You are taking too much risk."

Cang Xue sighed, "I have been busy for you, and half of it is for you. But you are so careless, attracting the residual thoughts of the Star God."

"If it weren't for her arrogance, she wouldn't have sensed the power of the Star God in your body when she entered your spiritual realm. Otherwise, the outcome would have been different."

"No," Wu Wang shook his head, "even if she had discovered it, the outcome would still be the same, but the price I have to pay might be greater."

Cang Xue said, "You just want to show off."

"It's not about showing off," Wu Wang smiled, "Mother, let's not talk about this. What is the relationship between the Star God's body and me now?"

"She has hidden your divine soul in the Divine Source."

Cang Xue's expression became slightly strange. "How did you manage to make her willingly open the Divine Source for you? That is the innate lifeblood of the Star God."

"At that time, she wanted to possess me," Wu Wang said, "to be precise, the Star God wanted to assimilate me and make me a part of her, making my Dao, insights, and thoughts her nourishment.

By then, my divine soul would become hers, and she could return to her original body at any time.

Did the people in the Heavenly Palace find out anything?"

"They were scared away by you."

Cang Xue couldn't help but shake her head and laugh softly. "The Heavenly Palace has long been afraid of the Star God... Ba Er, you will be busy in the future."

"Mother, you should take charge of the Star God's body."

Wu Wang said seriously, "I can't accept such a divine body. Just opening her eyes and saying a word would be a huge burden."

Cang Xue said softly, "Silly Ba Er, she was originally prepared by me as a sacrifice for you."

Wu Wang:...

Cang Xue smiled and said, "Originally, I planned to wait for chaos in the world, the return of the ancient gods, the return of my true form, and seal the Great Path of the Stars, allowing you to gradually accept it.

But I didn't expect you to achieve it all in one step. By accident, a strand of your divine soul entered the Star God's Divine Source.

In other words, now you just need to adapt slowly and you will be able to control the Star God's body, and even directly comprehend the Great Path of the Stars within her divine body.

To replace the Star God, it will only take a few hundred years.

With me by your side, you can even refine her divine body and become one of the top powerhouses in the world."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Mother, the Great Path of the Stars in the Star God's body needs to be rebuilt."

Cang Xue's smile froze slightly.

"Silly child, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Before the Star God's divine thoughts descended, I had already broken through more than ten layers of the Great Path barriers set by the Star God."

Wu Wang spread his hands.

"It's true, her Great Path is shallow... Maybe in terms of battle strength and realm, I can be on par with her after I rebuild the Great Path of the Stars. But my Great Path of the Stars is not the same as hers.

Mother, didn't you want to use the Star God's body to break the seal of the heavens and earth?"

Cang Xue explained, "Before, I only sealed her body and created a false consciousness for her, stabilizing the Great Path of the Stars. Naturally, I wanted her body to break the seal of the heavens and earth.

If you can refine her divine body, one full-powered strike would be enough."

"I see..."

Wu Wang calculated for a while and muttered, "So now I have two paths to take, one is to cultivate on my own, and the other is to refine the Star God's body.

No, this can be one path. Only when my divine thoughts are strong enough can I control the Star God's body.

What is this?

The Star God has become my clone?"

Cang Xue said, "From the current situation, it seems to be the case, but there are still two problems to solve."

"What are they?"

"One is the Star God's injuries, and the other is the memory sea accumulated over countless years by the Star God.

If her injuries are not handled properly, this divine body will be almost useless, only providing you with a continuous supply of divine power for your cultivation.

As for the memory sea, I can only help you seal it. You will need to spend thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer periods of time to digest, accept, and dissolve it bit by bit, ensuring that you will not be influenced by her."

Cang Xue said in a gentle voice, "These insights and accumulated years of memories are actually a precious treasure."

"Yes, a living history of the Great Wasteland."

Wu Wang agreed and asked a few more important questions.

The conclusion he reached was that at his current stage, he must avoid taking control of the Star God's divine body again, as it would cause his own collapse.

What made Wu Wang feel speechless was...

His mother's power was bestowed by the Star God's divine power.

The various races on the earth constantly prayed to the Star God, which would generate a continuous supply of divine power for the Star God. And he only needed to have a thought to retrieve his mother's power from the Sun Festival.

This was the main reason why Wu Wang suggested that his mother continue to control the Star God's divine body.

"Ba Er, from now on, stay by your mother's side to cultivate."

Cang Xue looked at Wu Wang with a hint of anticipation.

"Now you don't have to worry about the Dao or cultivation methods. You scared off the Heavenly Palace and stabilized it. The North Wilderness should not be tested by the Heavenly Palace again in the future.

The North Wilderness will become peaceful, and you can focus on improving your strength here. In a few hundred years, you will be able to better help the Human Realm."

However, Wu Wang smiled and said, "Mother, I still want to return to the Human Realm."

"Why? Is the North Wilderness too lonely?"

"It's not that, I actually prefer the life in the North Wilderness."

Wu Wang let out a sigh of relief, but his gaze became slightly profound.

"The Human Realm has someone I want to see, and there are things I haven't been able to accomplish. The North Wilderness can temporarily be stable.

Mother, I will continuously make myself stronger, but the current situation in the Human Realm may not be able to wait for hundreds of years. The Heavenly Palace will launch a full-scale attack soon.

What I can do is not to fight, as the Human Realm doesn't lack the battle strength of non-top-tier gods."

Cang Xue was slightly puzzled and asked, "Ba Er, why do you have so much concern for the Human Realm? Is it just because of the time you spent with Little Jing Wei?"

"It has little to do with her, but I am indeed worried about her situation."

Wu Wang looked at Cang Xue. He wanted to speak earnestly, but in front of his mother, he couldn't be too serious.

Shen Nong, Fu Xi, and Huo Shi...

The Human Realm had too many symbols and elements that pointed to the blue star he came from.

"The future of the Human Realm is important to me.

Making sure the Human Realm has a future is even more important to me.

I can't explain to Mother right now why I have so much emotional attachment to the Human Realm. My roots are in the North Wilderness, by your side, Father and Mother.

If the Human Realm is no longer in crisis, I will return to your side, to the side of our people.

But for now, I still need to return to the Human Realm and complete the few things I haven't done."Cang Xue reminded, "Wang, you are now half a predestined god. Your perspective on the Great Wasteland should change."

"I prefer the title of Immortal."

Wu Wang looked down at himself, only to find that he was nothing more than a divine consciousness in this place.

His spiritual platform had been burned through before, and his Dao foundation was affected. He thought he could directly become a True Immortal or Heavenly Immortal when he woke up. However, the reality was that he had to repair his Dao body and consolidate his Dao foundation to achieve the perfection of 'essence, energy, and spirit' and step into the realm of becoming an Immortal.

Cang Xue said, "Mother doesn't like the word Immortal."

Wu Wang blinked at his mother, "Then shall we call ourselves God Immortal in the future?"

"God Immortal?"

"Mm."

Wu Wang stood up and walked down, speaking slowly:

"Gods are born of heaven and earth, Immortals are spirits who have attained the Dao. Gods and Immortals rule together, spirits multiply, the Great Dao is well, and the Great Wasteland is peaceful."

A flash of surprise crossed Cang Xue's eyes as she stared at Wu Wang's back.

Just as she was about to ask Wu Wang if he understood the profound meaning of these words, Wu Wang suddenly turned around.

"Mother, let's go inside the Star God! I just remembered something!"

Cang Xue asked, "What is it?"

Wu Wang turned around, his eyes burning as he looked at Cang Xue.

"If I can make the Star God open its eyes, can I control a strand of hair falling off?"

"Of course you can..."

Wu Wang's Adam's apple bobbed.

The Star God's blessing that he had been envisioning for many years was about to come true!

Wait, that's not right.

The Star God is now barely considered his avatar, and the hair is also the hair of his avatar. Rounded up, isn't it his own hair?

The excitement Wu Wang had just felt quickly faded, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
