Su Yuan expressed surprise at the Wuliang Dao Court's unexpectedly accommodating stance, as Huo Linzi humbly conveyed their Dao Lord's desire for friendship and offered substantial compensation: five Chaos Kingdom territories, three Fused Dao Treasures, and reparations for damages. Accepting the gifts, Su Yuan permitted Huo Linzi to depart and then revived the slain Miluo Dao Court disciples through his command of numerous Dao Principles, restoring their border defenses as well. Other Dao Venerables arrived to report the True Knowledge Dao Court's withdrawal and cession of territories, while Huo Linzi soon returned with the promised items, including a communication token bearing their Dao Lord's aura, which Su Yuan received for potential future Dao discussions.

Su Yuan spoke to the group with composure, declaring, "Handling the allocation of territories is now your responsibility. You must also manage the rewards and compensations for the disciples. This Sovereign intends to retreat into seclusion for reflection. Only disturb me in case of a grave incident!"

A handful of jade boxes were passed to them by Su Yuan. The three Fused Dao Treasures were kept by him, and then he disappeared right away.

No one raised any protests upon witnessing this.

Those with sharp insight could tell the three Fused Dao Treasures were meant for Su Yuan personally, not the Miluo Dao Court. Thus, it was perfectly fine for him to claim them!

Once Su Yuan departed,

The disciples and close followers of Su Yuan suddenly found their positions elevated dramatically. Despite barely reaching the First-Order Dao Venerable stage, they were now treated with immense respect and esteem.

Su Li, Su Qian, Su Yuan (Abyss), Yin Xing, Nangong Xianweng, and the rest swiftly gained substantial power and started overseeing the detailed operations across multiple territories.

Su Yuan ignored all that. He went back to the realm he had personally forged.

A stream of alert chimes kept echoing in Su Yuan's mind.

[Ding, Dao Source Fame Points +100,000]

[Ding, Dao Source Fame Points +1,000,000]

In a mere span of hours, the thirty Dao Venerables furnished Su Yuan with more than two quadrillion Dao Sources.

These Dao Venerables were evidently stunned and eagerly shared their Dao Source Fame Points without delay.

This wasn't anything that would catch Su Yuan's interest normally.

That changed when, amid the alerts,

a unique message appeared.

[Ding, Chaos Fame Points +1]

This tiny addition of one point drew Su Yuan's keen attention.

"This seems like... a fresh kind of fame points!"

Turning his gaze inward to the [True Name Jade Disc], Su Yuan noted that the System Panel showed his Chaos Jade count rising from 19 to 20 pieces once more!

Earlier, he had used up one Chaos Jade to experiment with the Dominator of Will in forming the Dao Principle of Waves.

Yet now, just from earning one Chaos Fame Point, an extra Chaos Jade had mysteriously appeared!

Su Yuan was thoroughly taken aback by this development.

He promptly examined that alert. Sure enough, it originated from Wudaizi!

Su Yuan sank into thought.

This message revealed that Wudaizi's core being had advanced beyond Dao Venerable status to something superior.

Still, recent reports suggested Wudaizi remained at the Dao Venerable level. Rumors swirled that he had fully grasped a complete Chaos Dao Path but chose not to ascend to Chaos Dominator yet, pursuing a more advanced Chaos Dao Path instead.

What was once mere hearsay now seemed validated by the True Name Jade Disc's alert!

One Chaos Jade matched a hundred quintillion Dao Sources! Snagging such a vast amount so effortlessly brought Su Yuan a wave of delight.

"The depths of the Taihao Chaos run far deeper than I thought. But gathering resources here happens at an astonishing pace too."

"I should devise ways to spread my name to more ultimate beings, ensuring a steady flow of Chaos Fame Points. That could propel my cultivation forward rapidly!"

Su Yuan glanced down at the three Fused Dao Treasures in the jade boxes he held, pondering deeply. Even the Wuliang Dao Court cherished Fused Dao Treasures as invaluable items. Their scarcity went beyond what he had anticipated.

An idea sparked in Su Yuan's mind, leading to a plan.

In the Nine Stars Land, nine enormous superstars materialized abruptly. Each carried overwhelming suppressive might. These weren't typical stars; they were Source Stars formed by Su Yuan!

With the [True Name Jade Disc] in hand, Su Yuan invoked the [Dominator of Will] ability!

At that moment, he seized absolute command over every form of "intent" across existence, from Dao Intent and willpower to consciousness, thoughts, intentions, and all connected elements!

Su Yuan then expended a full nine Chaos Jades to imbue these nine stars with a restraining trait aimed at all Dao Intent and forces.

Any Dao Venerable approaching these stars would find their mental awareness and similar faculties severely limited. The might of their Dao Principles would shrink, unable to span full Chaos Kingdoms anymore. They might merely damage a tiny patch on the star's surface.

All these limitations served Su Yuan's grand scheme ahead.

He aimed to craft nine stars for battles and treasure quests, drawing Dao Venerables to the Nine Stars Land. This would yield him understandings of diverse fused Dao Principles and furnish endless resources for his advancement.

Su Yuan pulled out the True Name Dao Record and started crafting certain Fused Dao Treasures based on the many fused Dao Principles listed inside. His present supplies allowed only for basic Fused Dao Treasures. As more experts showed up, resources would flow abundantly!

He adjusted the three freshly acquired Fused Dao Treasures, altering the Dao Intent inside them. Then, he placed them on the nine treasure stars. All that remained was to await results.

Meanwhile,

Huo Linzi distributed the reparations to the Blood Moon Dao Court and True Knowledge Dao Court before heading back to the Wuliang Dao Court.

The trip had cost a fortune in resources and tarnished his reputation, leaving Huo Linzi in a foul temper.

"I hope things improve from here. Who is this Seven Stars Dao Sovereign anyway? He's masterful at concealing his true power."

Huo Linzi continued his gloomy flight.

He soon zipped past a colossal star.

After traveling some distance, Huo Linzi halted briefly, glancing back at the enormous star.

"Was this star present when we arrived initially?"

Suspicion filled Huo Linzi's eyes as he stared at the massive body.

This star was hugely vast, its size rivaling a Chaos Continent. In this isolated space-time, it stood out strikingly.

A spark of intrigue stirred in Huo Linzi. He wheeled around and headed toward the star.

But as he neared the star's atmosphere, a colossal suppressive pressure crashed upon him without warning.

His body plummeted like a projectile toward the surface.

Huo Linzi unleashed the fearsome energy of his Fifteenth-Order Fusion Dao Principles, expecting to shatter the star with ease. Yet his flames only extended about three hundred light-years.

"What in the world is happening?"

As he drew nearer the ground, the suppression eased somewhat.

Huo Linzi gradually steadied himself, floating in the star's airspace and scanning the horizon.

"What is this location?"

Huo Linzi muttered his bewilderment.

Strangely, right after speaking, a chunk of knowledge flooded in, informing him that this was the Nine Extreme Treasure Star. Treasures like Fused Dao Treasures, supreme Dao Artifacts, Dao Principle Stone Tablets, Comprehension Fruits, and more would sporadically manifest here. Planting treasures at set spots could boost their appearance chances.

Upon absorbing this, Huo Linzi's features twisted in puzzlement and hesitation.
