NOVEL NEXT Chapter 331 Post-War Impact_2
The gravest matter was that his own senior brother had already advised him against it, yet why did he still insist on carrying out this plan?
Why did he choose to believe in himself rather than his senior brother, who was smarter, more composed, and more strategic than he was?
At this moment, he finally understood that the wretched state he was in was all his own doing.
Calamity Qi!
It was affecting not only the countless creatures in Primordial, but it could also influence Saints.
His very thoughts and desires had already been influenced by Calamity Qi without his awareness.
At this moment, he felt somewhat relieved, and also somewhat fortunate.
Fortunately, when he was at Mount Sumeru, he had told his elder brother to leave him be and let him bear all the sins alone.
Jieyin Saint stood next to Emperor Jun, looking at the inscrutable Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
Unable to see the battle inside, Jieyin Saint felt very anxious, but his expression did not show it; he still looked deeply troubled.
"Dare I ask Emperor Jun, how is the battle going?"
Unable to contain himself, Jieyin Saint finally asked Emperor Jun.
At this moment, Di Jun's eyes had returned to normal, and he spoke calmly, "It has ended."
Ended?
Seeing Di Jun's indifferent demeanor, Jieyin Saint suddenly felt a bad premonition.
If the battle had ended, and his younger brother had won, Emperor Jun would not just be standing here; he would have already taken action.
Conversely, the fact that Emperor Jun had not taken action meant that his junior brother must have been defeated by Donghuang Taiyi.
Jieyin Saint had not even considered a draw.
If it was a draw, how could the battle end so quickly?
Jieyin Saint's face grew even more troubled. If his junior brother had won, there would still be hope for negotiation, but if his junior brother had lost, then they could only be at others' mercy.
He only hoped that Emperor Jun's demands would not be too excessive.
Within the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
After Zhunti Saint entered the space, the spatial rift also slowly closed.
Countless Star Power and Four Symbols Power flooded into that space, forming starlight chains that sealed Zhunti Saint.
Standing on the Sun Star, Donghuang Taiyi moved his mind, the sound of the Donghuang Bell stopped, and the stagnation of time as well as the spatial restrictions also vanished.
The Infinite Space Laws and Time Laws that surged from the Donghuang Bell returned to Donghuang, leaving no impact on the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
Then, the Donghuang Bell transformed into a streak of light and entered into Donghuang Taiyi's body.
Donghuang Taiyi's expression did not change as he gently swayed the Star Banner in his hand, his voice authoritative and solemn.
"Stars return to your positions!"
Whether it was the Main Star's Star God or the auxiliary star's Star God's Child, upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's command, they all waved their Star Banners.
The many stars returned to their original positions under their command.
Both the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star, under the control of Donghuang Taiyi and Xi He, returned to their original positions.
The non-combat state of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation was restored, and the division of day and night, and the cycling of the seasons on Primordial Land resumed to normal.
At this time, Jieyin Saint could see inside the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
Donghuang Taiyi was standing on the Sun Star, but his junior brother was nowhere to be seen.
Just as expected.
Jieyin Saint thought in his heart.
Though he had anticipated it, he still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss; his younger brother wasn't just defeated, he had completely disappeared.
His heart grew even more sorrowful, which was directly reflected on his face.
Not only for Jieyin Saint, but now that the Celestial Heaven Star Formation had returned to normal, many Saints and Quasi-Saints sent their Divine Sense to probe the situation here immediately.
They too found no trace of Zhunti Saint, and were very surprised.
A Saint had been defeated by a Quasi-Saint who had severed two of his corporeal forms.
Even though the Quasi-Saint possessed the Donghuang Bell and was supported by the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, he was still a Quasi-Saint.
Yet, he actually defeated a Saint.
It was not just a defeat; he made a Saint vanish without a trace.
Taiching Saint sat calmly atop Shouyang Mountain.
Yuqing Saint sat solemnly in the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain, his expression dark.
Upper Pure Saint still sat in the Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island, his expression filled with eagerness.
The defeat of Zhunti Saint signified that Saints were not invincible.
Those who defeated Saints were not necessarily on the same level as Saints, shattering the myth of the invincibility of Saints.
At that moment, many Quasi-Saints who realized this had differing thoughts.
They naturally understood that it was no simple feat for Donghuang Taiyi to defeat a Saint.
However complex it might be, they too could emulate this and gradually strategize.
Especially the East King, who thought this even more.
After all, among the three great formations of Primordial, the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, and the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation, there was also his Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Now that Donghuang Taiyi could defeat Zhunti Saint with the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, could he possibly defeat a Saint with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation too?
Suddenly, East King felt he had discovered a new path.
There was no need to become a Saint; as long as one could contend with a Saint, that itself granted the prerogative of a Saint's level.
The defeat of Zhunti Saint caused many beings within Primordial to have unsettled thoughts.
In Chaos, Hong Jun witnessed the entire process of Zhunti Saint's defeat, his expression unchanged.
Emperor Jun was not surprised by this; no one understood better than him the formidable power of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation consisting of hundreds of millions of stars.
Donghuang Taiyi still stood on the Sun Star, recovering from the various arduous tasks undertaken by the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
He wielded the Star Banner in his hand, adjusting the positions of other stars within the formation via commands.
Suddenly, Chaos Qi surged from beyond the skies, entering the Celestial Heaven Star Formation and continuously transforming into Innate Spiritual Energy.
In Primordial, the concentration of Innate Spiritual Energy slightly increased again.
Around the Four Symbols of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, the figures of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Wu momentarily flickered.
Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, White Tiger Seven Constellations, Vermilion Bird Seven Constellations, and Xuan Wu Seven Constellations — the twenty-eight Star Constellations once again took their places above the Four Symbols Sky Pillars.
Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, White Tiger Martial General, Vermilion Bird Radiance, and Xuan Wu Governance returned to the sky pillars.
The power of the stars, merged with Innate Spiritual Energy, once again nourished the Four Symbols Pillars.
At the same time, beams of starlight descended, once again enveloping Buzhou Mountain, with the power of the stars and Innate Spiritual Energy merging into Buzhou Mountain.
At that moment, the aura of Pangu in Buzhou Mountain was swiftly decreasing, its intensity dropping.
However, the power of the stars and Innate Spiritual Energy continually nurtured, replacing the fading Pangu's Aura.
The Celestial Heaven Star Formation, like before a great battle, continued to shoulder various responsibilities, seemingly unchanged.
But in reality, the only unchanged aspects were the division of day and night and the rotation of the four seasons.
The formation did not require much power for this; it only needed the normal operation of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.
As for the rest, changes had indeed occurred.
Part of the power of the stars and Innate Spiritual Energy inside the Celestial Heaven Star Formation entered an unnamed space, suppressing Zhunti Saint.
Part of its power was used to absorb Chaos Qi, significantly less than before, and the transformed Innate Spiritual Energy was also much less.
The star power and Innate Spiritual Energy that descended to the Four Symbols Sky Pillars had also substantially reduced.
Meng Zhang, Martial General, Radiance, and Governance clearly felt this but remained unspoken.
They silently enhanced their own power transmission, maintaining the support of the Heavenly Pillars, sustaining the Primordial Heaven and Earth, nurturing themselves.
They believed it was normal for the Celestial Heaven Star Formation's support to decrease since, after all, it was against a Saint—how could there not be a price to pay?
In Chaotic Purple Cloud Palace, Hong Jun slightly furrowed his brow as he looked at the space within the Celestial Heaven Star Formation where Zhunti Saint was sealed.
Ultimately, he chose not to intervene in this matter and ceased paying attention to the Primordial World.
