Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 807: Great Sun, Ancient Coordinates (II)

By the time Shi Feirou and the others disembarked from the jet, Chen Chu had already entered the interior of the warship. The space inside was vast, resembling a small town.

However, it was also now a scene of devastation. As Chen Chu followed his senses deeper toward the stern, he encountered the corpses of both humans and mutated beasts along the way.

There were also traces of human habitation and research facilities, including mechanical equipment, all of which had been destroyed, suggesting a fierce battle had once taken place here.

When Chen Chu reached the stern, he found only a single stone platform resembling an altar. It stood five meters high in the shape of the Eight Trigrams, covered with ancient rune inscriptions.

Sitting atop the altar was an old recording device, its surface still stained with dried blood.

Click!

Chen Chu pressed the device’s switch, but there was no reaction. "Dead battery?" he muttered.

After two or three years, the battery inside had naturally long been drained. However, that was an easy problem to solve.

Pop! Pop!

A faint electric arc flickered between Chen Chu’s fingertips and landed with a crack on the two removed batteries, causing a series of soft crackling sounds.

"That should do it. If not, we’ll just have to recharge it back on Yunxiao," he said, reinstalling the batteries and pressing the switch again.

Zzzz!

The recorder sputtered before a man's hoarse, low voice came through.

"Lost Calendar, Year 9084, July 7th. We discovered a complete ancient ruin, and with it, a major breakthrough—a new hope for rekindling cultivation.

"Lost Calendar, Year 9085, January 4th. We are the sinners of humanity. We opened Pandora’s box. We destroyed the entire world...

"May 11th. There’s still hope. They succeeded—they can cultivate again. We must announce this to everyone...

"Hahaha... Tell the whole world at once! We’ve found hope—we’ve found the key to rekindling humanity’s great expansion!

"Something’s wrong. The monsters are multiplying. We’re trapped inside the ruin...

"Why? Why can't the altar coordinates activate? It says there's insufficient energy. What energy do we need to establish contact with the Ancient Legion...?

"We have failed. We are the sinners of the Lost World...

"This world has no energy left. We are trapped here forever. We, the beings who came from beyond the stars, are destined to be erased by the Lost World..."

Zzzz!

The person who had left the recording had documented several years of events in simple entries, but their tone shifted from joy and excitement at first to terror and despair by the end.

After the recording devolved into static for a long while, Chen Chu finally pressed the switch to stop it. His gaze fell on the stone altar, and his eyes couldn’t hide a surge of excitement.

"A coordinate that can connect to the Ancient Legion."

Connecting the clues between the ruin in the void, the Tyrannosaur Race, and this place, it was now very clear: the ancient civilization’s seven great emperors, who had once led the main expeditionary armies, still existed.

It remained uncertain how many emperors and monarchs had survived the cataclysmic wars. However, if even just one ancient emperor remained, humanity could overturn the dire fate of the Blue Planet, and crush the Purgatory Demon Clan.

After all, those ancient figures had already broken through to the level of emperors countless years ago. With the passage of so much time, their cultivation must have reached even greater, unimaginable heights.

Just as Chen Chu extended his hand toward the altar, intending to store the coordinates into his spatial bracelet, the temporal and spatial forces around him suddenly erupted into unprecedented chaos.

Boom!

A massive force of rejection exploded, reflecting across space and time. The surrounding void twisted violently, and a vast, mighty river stretching through the past and future appeared.

A sensation deep within told Chen Chu that if he moved even a step closer, he would instantly be swept into the raging temporal turbulence.

Chen Chu frowned at this realization, then slowly withdrew his hand, choosing to give up for now. The frenzied repulsion around him instantly weakened.

There were still matters he had yet to resolve; he couldn’t afford to leave just yet. Even if he were to attempt it, it would have to wait until all preparations were complete.

When Chen Chu returned to the ruptured entrance of the battleship, Shi Feirou, Shi Feitong, Mr. Jiang, Gao Tianxiang, and the others were already excitedly surveying their surroundings. When they saw him approach, they all bowed respectfully. "Mr. Chen."

Chen Chu calmly said, "I've inspected this place. There are no survivors, but also no monsters. Additionally, there are ample living supplies here, enough to last you several years. I’ve also subdued the mutated vine outside. It won’t pose any threat to you for now.

"What happens next is up to you. Plan among yourselves. I’ll be going into seclusion to cultivate—do not disturb me unless absolutely necessary."

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

After briefly issuing instructions, Chen Chu’s figure flickered and appeared atop the snow-covered sacred mountain.

Sitting cross-legged atop the ice-coated peak, Chen Chu laid out all twenty-eight collected body enhancement arts.

Among them, six were complete: aside from the True Great Sun Body, there were also the Sacred Mystic Light Body, the Purple Lightning Battle Body, the Star-Shattering Tyrant Body, the Nine Transformations of the Azure Dragon, and the Divine Heavenly Gate Body.

Each art had nine stages. Upon mastering them, one could cultivate to the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm. In order to step into the mythical level, however, one would have to carve their own path—the arts could no longer provide guidance at that point.

Chen Chu didn’t rush into cultivation immediately. Instead, he flipped through each manual carefully, imprinting every detail into his mind, including the contents of the twenty-two incomplete arts.

Only after memorizing them all did Chen Chu close his eyes. In his mind, the content and illustrations of the True Great Sun Body, the very first art he had acquired, reappeared vividly. He began adjusting his muscles and meridians, simulating the ancient human physique.

One minute later, qi and blood, blazing like the sun, condensed around Chen Chu, and he instantly stepped into the first stage. With his current realm, and his previous extensive experience cultivating various body enhancement arts, cultivating these was now as easy as drinking water.

The typical conflict between different vitality and power after cultivation no longer existed. These transcendent-level arts couldn’t shake the foundation of his War God Body's true form.

Consume 100 attribute points to strengthen the True Great Sun Body to the second stage.

Chen Chu had no time for slow cultivation. He chose instead to directly consume attribute points to enhance the art. With a single thought, the blazing vitality within him erupted.

Chen Chu’s aura exploded from the force of the attribute enhancement, instantly breaking through to the second stage of the art. The radiant, sun-like heat around him intensified.

Consume attribute points to strengthen the True Great Sun Body to the ninth stage.

In an instant, his attribute points dropped from 35,917 to 30,217, consuming 5,700 points. The searing vitality within Chen Chu’s body erupted, transforming into countless golden rays that pierced through his flesh and bones.

Boom!

The Great Sun vitality surged wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the third stage, then the fourth. Brilliant light burst across the world, and within a hundred meters, sunlight converged toward him.

Streams of scorching energy penetrated his skin and were refined by the frenzied circulation of his vitality, fueling his growth and igniting into roaring flames.

Boom!

Chen Chu’s aura once again exploded, breaking through to the fifth stage, then the sixth and seventh.

White flames ignited over his skin, radiating a heat that caused the surrounding ice layers to melt and thick mist to rise.

As the True Great Sun Body broke into the seventh stage, sunlight across a kilometer radius converged on him, forming a golden pillar of light that enveloped his entire figure and made him appear utterly sacred.

Chen Chu distinctly sensed his physique becoming slightly more refined as the blazing Great Sun vitality relentlessly tempered it.

When the True Great Sun Body broke through to the eighth stage, the white flames on Chen Chu exploded upward, reaching several meters high.

Within the surging firelight, a vague image of a white sun took shape behind him, resembling a corona. His black hair whipped wildly under the immense energy, making him appear even more awe-inspiring. Sunlight from within three kilometers was drawn irresistibly toward him.

The white flames on his body grew even more vigorous from the swelling influx of sunlight, swelling upward and blazing over ten meters high.

Immediately afterward, a tyrannical aura at the Ninth Heavenly Realm erupted from Chen Chu, shaking heaven and earth. In that instant, even the distant sun seemed to flare brighter, and sunlight from dozens of kilometers away surged toward him.

Boom!

The phantom sun behind Chen Chu blazed with blinding brilliance, transforming from an illusion into tangible form—a white sun dozens of meters in diameter, radiating infinite light and heat.

The snow atop the sacred mountain melted rapidly, the ice layers shattered, and a massive avalanche erupted, sweeping across over a hundred kilometers.

Amid the earth-shaking avalanche, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, a flash of astonishment flickering within them. He seemed to have discovered a secret.
