Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 1024 - 457: Awakening to My True Self—​I Am Myself, for Myself Alone!

The ongoing demise of his followers would fuel his own advancement, transforming their forfeited lives into vital skill-level resources. This absorption process was not instantaneous; assimilating such a vast multitude, even through self-destruction, demanded a significant duration.

Su Tu could keenly perceive his heart and spirit undergoing an accelerated and almost frightening transformation.

An overwhelming cascade of system notifications flooded his senses, obscuring his vision. Su Tu found himself unable to even register the magnitude of the numbers or the sheer volume of the alerts.

The sole sensation he could grasp was an intensifying feeling of tangibility, of his very existence solidifying.

In this profound moment, the lingering confusion, the gnawing helplessness, the self-doubt regarding his identity, and the deep introspection into his true essence all vanished, leaving no trace.

He was, undeniably, the 'Su Tu' he was meant to be—an amalgamation of the 'myths' imprinted upon the Origin, woven from the very fabric of his divine nature.

Yet, this profound realization did not alter his fundamental being.

He is Su Tu, and this immutable truth would persist regardless of external circumstances, as the 'divine nature' that constituted him originated from 'himself'.

It was akin to a shattered disc, where a portion managed to self-repair, drawing from fragmented backups. Though the reconstructed segments might bear imperfections, he remained whole.

And that original, the foundational 'disc content,' was also intrinsically 'him'.

At this juncture, the residual inner turmoil that had plagued him was utterly obliterated. His gaze, though outwardly placid, now harbored an ineffable, piercing intensity.

With the dissolution of perceptive constraints, Su Tu's spiritual enhancement surged to an unprecedented apex.

His comprehension of the world sharpened with unparalleled clarity. The fundamental rules, the laws of existence, the Dao, and all pervasive concepts materialized before him as if etched onto his very palm.

This newfound clarity was not merely a dawning realization of power but also a profound journey inward.

Countless chaotic visions unfolded before his eyes, depicting the echoes of his past footprints within the Origin.

Within these spectral scenes, figures clad in ragged garments were seen invoking the 'Yellow Sky'; others, armed with blades, knelt in supplication to the 'Commander';avedisciples, within hallowed halls, uttered his name, 'Profound Origin Dao Venerable,' with deep reverence.

Celestial beings bowed their heads, awaiting his return, while primordial entities offered him blood sacrifices upon ancient altars.

Innumerable divine thoughts, countless imprints of his past existence, converged upon Su Tu's heart and spirit.

"I am the Commander, I am the Yellow Sky, my name resonates as Profound Origin Dao Venerable. Across all realms, I can be known as the Daluo Celestial Emperor, and to the masses, I am the Eternal Venerable God!"

"I... am my own self, and I... exist for myself!!"

As these words left Su Tu's lips, the final vestiges of darkness within his heart shattered. Simultaneously, the myriad traces of his divine nature descended, converging within a distant, boundless celestial abode.

Within the Sacred Realm, the Origin itself quaked, giving rise to majestic specters – some divine, some benevolent, some enthroned above the firmament, others gazing into the unfathomable future. Their presence exuded an ethereal, formidable, yet intangible aura.

At this very instant, they bestowed their blessings upon his form!

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

As these spectral manifestations integrated into Su Tu's being.

An explosion of sacred, majestic light erupted from the core of his heart and spirit, akin to an infinite sun ascending from his very soul, its brilliant, heavenly might shaking the cosmos and casting its reflection upon reality!

This resplendent sun ascended above the Star River. Though intangible, its magnificent, dazzling radiance at that moment bathed the entirety of the Star River in light.

From every conceivable corner of the Star River, across every planet, even within the lightless expanse of the Death Star Realm, or the shadowy subspace of the Star River's periphery, all bore witness to this celestial illumination.

"Quick, look!! What is that!"

"Heavens above! Could that be... the sun?"

"A sun arising in the dead of night—either a deity has descended, or a great calamity is imminent!"

All sentient beings who perceived this radiant phenomenon gasped in utter astonishment. Never before had such an event, a sun illuminating the entirety of the Star River, transpired.

This sacred yet awe-inspiring spectacle arrested the attention of all races and formidable powers, compelling them to halt their activities and observe.

A select few among the Great Divine Power Users perceived the true essence beneath this brilliance, a power transcending the supreme. Their heart and spirit cultivation had reached an ultimate pinnacle, exceeding the established limitations of contemporary heart and spirit advancement.

It shattered the confines of the Other Shore and transcended the boundaries of the Sacred Realm. Despite heart and spirit cultivation being the pathway to Immortal Divinity, the human heart and spirit inherently possessed limitations. Even the most ancient and potent Great Divine Power Users of the present era could merely contend with entities on par with Daoist Masters.

Yet, this power defied all comprehension of heart and spirit cultivators. Within this boundless solar display, they detected a force that not only surpassed the supreme but rivaled, perhaps even dwart the might of true gods!!A gateway to an unprecedented realm appeared before the cultivators of heart and spirit, igniting a profound longing within them. It hinted at the potential restoration of a path once thought irrevocably shattered. Many yearned to plunge into the immense heart and spirit power emanating from the great sun. However, those lacking strength could not bear its intensity, while the exceptionally powerful hesitated to act imprudently. This caution stemmed from a deep understanding: the greater one's power, the more they grasped the terrifying nature of this energy. While immersion could lead to profound enlightenment, it also harbored the grave peril of utter annihilation. The sunlight surged like an unstoppable river, and their heart and spirit were but fragile droplets. If they dared to enter the torrent, they might draw a sliver of its might, but more probable was their complete submersion, their very essence dissolving without a trace.
