The Peng Emperor's emergence briefly halted the clashes between Sky-Cunning Beasts, the Unspeakable, and Blazing Flame Camp forces, but news of the Bright Day System's near-annihilation drove the Sun Emperor to fury, escalating the war. In under two thousand years, the Sky-Cunning Beasts' Eastern Star Core fell, their ancestor slain and divided among victors, catapulting the Demon Emperor to Half-step Forbidden Peak and revitalizing the Ten Thousand Demon System. As the Sun Emperor prepared his return, the Sunshine Third Emperor delivered the Empress's final Rule-based Sticker and Myriad Phenomena Universe Scroll, facing the Emperor's grief-fueled suspicion and killing intent.

This briefly calmed the Sun Emperor, yet the murderous intent and chilling frost in his gaze refused to fade away.

After an extended period of silence, the Sun Emperor at last drew out the rule-based sticker from his grip and scrutinized it.

[Chi Ya: Ash Residue Book]

Upon catching sight of that opening line, a crystalline shimmer involuntarily flickered in the Sun Emperor’s eyes.

Chi Ya was none other than the Sun Empress’s real name, though after taking command of the Bright Day System, the whole Star Nebula addressed her solely by her codename.

Although the Sun Emperor could have scanned it with his Divine Soul to absorb the rule-based sticker’s contents directly into his consciousness, he opted instead to pore over every single character deliberately.

[To the Emperor:

Gazing upon this pattern feels like seeing you once more. Our final parting in this lifetime is etched in blood and bound by tears.

The Bright Day System has fallen; ashamed to linger beneath the stars, I choose death to seek a faint hope of survival for all beings within the Bright Day System.

Still, I cherish those days we battled together; you ventured to the Star Core and never came back—thirty-six Eras have passed!

Perched alone on the Phoenix Platform, famed for my icy resolve, yet in my heart, you never leave my thoughts.

The Dazzling Star was what I pledged to the Wolf Clan Civilization; I truly lacked the strength to safeguard it.

The Wolf Pack Civilization embraces all without bias; under their governance, perhaps the Wangshu Zone and Dazzling Star can gleam once again.

Should they prove brutal and heedless, then Emperor, you can hoist the banner high and make your return!

If they treat all creatures of the Bright Day System with benevolence and justice, hold off on igniting war too soon. After all, the depths of the Wolf Pack Civilization elude my sight, so no point in wasting the Bright Day System’s lingering forces.

Furthermore, I’ve woven a hidden technique to funnel the final fortune and fate of the Bright Day System, along with the fractured Starry Sky Compass, into the Myriad Phenomena Universe Scroll.

This marks my ultimate gift to you, in hopes it bolsters the Fate Altar, propelling you to that long-coveted realm—though alas, I won’t witness it.

Beyond the Ancient Road, pursuing stars under the moon, echoes of when you and I arrived here together,

Back then, you swore we’d never separate in life or death, but the Ancient Road endures, stars remain, yet that promise has chilled over thirty-six Eras.

— Chi Ya’s Final Words]

As the Sun Emperor reached the end of this farewell message on the rule-based sticker, the battle-hardened Emperor, who had never wept amid endless wars and carnage, now sobbed uncontrollably.

The murderous aura and icy demeanor that once cloaked him slowly dissolved into oblivion amid his tears.

Indeed,

Thirty-six Eras had passed without his return to the Wangshu Zone!

He had long forsaken those ancient oaths.

Yet the Empress always prioritized the greater good, never pressing him on it.

She, the prodigious beauty once courted by innumerous suitors from the Blazing Flame Royal Family, had transformed into the solitary Empress guarding the Wangshu Zone, enduring trials known perhaps only to her.

"I’m... indebted to you!"

Overwhelmed by profound grief, the Sun Emperor sent out a fractured strand of spiritual will.

The veteran iron-blooded troops trailing him, witnessing their Emperor’s heartbroken expression, stood in grave silence, not daring to make a sound.

Only the most ancient and devoted retainers shed crystalline tears alongside him.

For they too hailed from the Bright Day System, not any Star Sky Feudal Town.

They had all received the Empress’s nurturing care!

Yet amid this mourning, the rule-based secret scroll dissolved into sparkling starlight, merging into the Myriad Phenomena Universe Scroll and gradually unfurling it.

Before the Sun Emperor could pull himself from his anguish, the vast fortune and fate, the shattered Starry Sky Compass, and even the Dimension Heart that the Sun Empress had extracted beforehand prior to her last stand—all surged into him.

Though absent from the Bright Day System for countless Eras, the Sun Emperor remained its rightful sovereign.

Thus, the fate, fortune, Starry Sky Compass, and the Sun Empress’s Dimension Heart accepted him without resistance.

In particular, the Empress’s Dimension Heart, seemingly prepped through endless simulations, fused seamlessly with the Sun Emperor’s own upon entry, temporarily suppressing his terrifying cultivation and mighty frame, forcing him to receive the influx passively.

Even the incomplete Fate Altar underfoot materialized, swiftly augmented by the enormous fortune, fate, and the Bright Day System’s Fate Heavy Artifact—the Starry Sky Compass.

In fact, the Bright Day System was capable of forming a Fate Altar up to seventy percent originally; yet, achieving it would demand rebuilding the fortune and fate from nothing, so the Emperor lacked the resolve to proceed.

However, he never foresaw that he would eventually consume the enormous fortune and fate belonging to the Bright Day System.

Even the Dimension Heart of the Empress transformed into a massive surge of Dimensional Truth, fueling his continued evolution.

"Ah!!!"

By now, apart from that anguished, piercing howl, the Sun Emperor was powerless to act.

One could say the Empress had predicted it all perfectly, even foreseeing his refusal to embrace it fully.

Thus, she extracted her own Dimension Heart, bequeathing it to him.

This intensified the agony piercing the Sun Emperor’s heart to new depths; amid this profound despair, the tears trickling from his eyes shifted from clear drops to bloody tears blended with blue blood.

Precisely in this overwhelming grief, his aura surged to ever more terrifying heights,

The surge persisted across several dozen full days, its force so immense it shattered the entire Stellar Dome!

It drew the attention of the Sect Hierarch from the Undead Holy Sect, the Demon Emperor, and the enigmatic taboo of the Entropy Prison System, who arrived to witness, while countless nearby supreme powers swiftly divined the signs.

For with the Sun Emperor’s phenomenal rise ongoing, all sensed the celestial order above the Star Core falling into chaos, as the Three Thousand Origin Rules and the Starry Sky’s Power madly converged toward a single focal point.

Upon the Star Core, any observer with true discernment understood the implications?

It signified the imminent birth of a fresh Fate Altar, heralding the emergence of a new taboo entity...!

....

Su Lin, of course, hadn’t overlooked the Bear Clan that battled faithfully by his side, so he let out a mighty roar and distributed a generous share of the meat to them.

Gathered together, the Bear Clan had gradually grasped the essence of the White Wolf Pack’s howls through their prolonged coexistence, filling them with joy as they bellowed "Ooh ooh ooh" inside the cave. This lavish feast deepened their devotion to the White Wolf Pack even further.

Su Lin realized this fight had forged unbreakable loyalty among his followers, so he lavishly rewarded those who stood with him, aiming to draw in more beasts with a profound sense of unity. His tribe would swell in strength and dominance, destined to reign as the invincible Arctic Overlord across the frozen tundra!

After dispensing rewards to the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan, Sander and Tiffany drew Su Lin’s gaze once more. He had anticipated these two humans would join the Wolf Clan in the desperate struggle.

Su Lin planned to groom these humans as his loyal envoys, thus granting them substantial prizes too—two hundred catties of flesh for Sander and Tiffany, sufficient to last them some time.

Sander and Tiffany were stunned by this, yet their gratitude toward the White Wolf swelled even greater. They hadn’t dreamed their role in the fight would yield such an abundance of food.

Sander reflected on his time in the Human Fortress, where as a lowly novice he faced constant mockery and degradation, especially amid the dire resource shortages plaguing human society then. Prime Variant Species Flesh went first to the elites or mighty New Humans; bottom-dwellers like him rarely tasted it. Contrasting his old existence with the present reaffirmed his decision.

Tiffany, meanwhile, served merely as a disposable asset for the Human Fortress leaders, akin to a expendable pawn among her vulnerable peers.
