Chapter 23: Establish the Star Court

Time turns, years pass.

A thousand years of time passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Diti's order, except for a few Star Gods like Qisha who had not yet been born, all other Innate Star Gods were already waiting outside the Ziwei Emperor Star.

Among them, the Innate Star Gods born on the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Big Dipper Seven Stars,

as well as the Innate Star Gods born on the other nine stars besides the Sun and Taiyin, had the strongest cultivation!

All were in the late Da Luo stage.

The Innate Star Gods born on the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars were second.

They had the cultivation of the mid-Da Luo stage.

The Innate Star Gods born on the Seventy-Two Earthly Stars were again second.

They had the cultivation of the early Da Luo stage.

The remaining other Innate Star Gods, although they also had the cultivation of the early Da Luo stage,

compared to the Innate Star Gods born on the Seventy-Two Earthly Stars, they were ultimately more than a notch lower.

As for the Di Jun brothers, in terms of cultivation alone, they were the same as the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Big Dipper Seven Stars, and the other nine stars, all in the late Da Luo stage.

But because the two had the blessing of the Innate Supreme Treasure · Chaos Bell and the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure · River Map and Luo Book,

the actual combat power of the two was slightly higher than that of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the other nine stars.

"Big brother, now these Innate Star Gods have just been gestated, and their own potential has not yet been transformed into strength."

"As long as we kill Diti, we will definitely be able to subdue a group of Star Gods and ascend to the Emperor of the Zhou Tian Stars!"

Taiyi scanned the surrounding Innate Star Gods, his eyes full of calculation and ambition.

"Don't rush to conclusions."

"Now the main person has not yet appeared, the other party's specific strength is unknown, and acting rashly will only startle the snake."

"Wait for people to come out, and then make a move to establish prestige after ensuring nothing goes wrong, it's not too late."

Di Jun was also filled with ambition, but his brain was much more rational than Taiyi's.

Diti was born several Great Epochs earlier than them, even if he spent most of his time shrinking in the Ziwei Emperor Star.

But over time, what kind of trump cards he had hidden, they had no way of knowing.

And their goal was the other party's life and the status after his fall.

If they made a move rashly, making the other party prepared, or if his trump card could suppress and kill them,

the consequences would be truly difficult to clean up.

Just as the Di Jun brothers were planning in their hearts, thinking of a foolproof plan to kill Diti,

the Ziwei Emperor Star suddenly bloomed with boundless dazzling divine light, endless star shadows branded heaven and earth, boundless imperial purple energy flew and manifested, and the Law of Strength pressed across the void!

Making a group of Innate Star Gods, including Di Jun, unable to bear the pressure, all knelt down in the starry sky.

"Ziwei star light reflects the nine heavens, the Great Emperor stands tall in front,

Residing in Taiwei, supreme and unparalleled, all stars of the heavens bow to the origin.

Dragon robes shine on the sun, purple Qi rises, holding heaven and earth to set Hongmeng,

All living beings look up and pray for peace, all spirits bow and praise divine merit!

The Milky Way is like a belt around the knees, the universe and Honghuang are free to roam,

The Great Emperor's four directions assist the heavenly net, and the nine stars are lined up on both sides.

Thirty heavens all arch and guard, seventy-two earths share glory,

The changes of wind and clouds are only determined by him, and the rain and dew are given by his heart!

The growth of all things depends on his virtue, and the change of seasons follows his decree,

The story has been passed down for thousands of years, and majesty and mercy are both emphasized.

The vast starry sky all submits, and those who praise his name will get eternal glory!"

As the celebration poem that resounded through the outer space and circled the endless universe rose,

the Ziwei Star Glory Imperial Way Array slowly faded away.

Diti wore the Map of Mountains and Rivers suspended above his head, held the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler in his hand, was dressed in a purple-gold imperial robe, stepped into dragon-patterned short boots, and wore an imperial hair-binding crown on his head that symbolized imperial power and seemed to be branded with the stars of the heavens.

Surrounded by boundless creation divine light, under the reflection of endless stars,

sitting on a purple-gold imperial chariot pulled by a hundred nine-clawed golden dragons manifested by imperial laws,

accompanied by the celebration poem, he slowly came before a group of Innate Star Gods.

"We pay homage to the Ziwei Great Emperor!"

The vast imperial majesty made all the Innate Star Gods present involuntarily kneel and bow three times and kowtow nine times.

Looking at the group of Innate Star Gods who bowed, Diti had no ripples in his eyes and nodded indifferently, letting them get up.

"No need for courtesy, get up."

After the words fell, the Di Jun brothers also woke up, and their eyes looking at Diti were full of fear and unwillingness.

After all, they were here to smash the scene!

Now not only did they not kill the other party, but they kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the other party!

In this way, the momentum was already weaker than the other party, so how could they talk about killing him and seizing the position of Emperor of the Zhou Tian Stars!

To prevent accidents, taking advantage of the fact that a group of Innate Star Gods were kowtowing subconsciously,

Diti had already driven the Primordial Wuji Myriad Way Array to cover the starry sky within billions of miles of the Ziwei Emperor Star.

As the controller of the array, he naturally saw all the strange colors in the eyes of Di Jun and the other.

But because there was still business today,

and he would need the Di Jun brothers to go down to the world to establish the Demon Clan in the future,

to block the gun for the Star Glory Divine Court he was about to establish,

he just let them kowtow three times and bow nine times, and did not take the opportunity to kill them directly.

"Now most of the Innate Star Gods have been born."

"As the master who controls the Zhou Tian Stars, I want to establish the Star Glory Divine Court to act on behalf of heaven and control the outer space!"

Under the indifferent declaration, most of the Innate Star Gods did not hesitate and bowed respectfully and shouted.

"We pay homage to the Star Emperor!"

Even though Taiyi and Di Jun had many unwillingness in their hearts,

but in the current situation, daring to resist is equivalent to seeking death.

For the sake of their lives, the two could only follow the group of Innate Star Gods and kowtow.

Seeing this, Diti stepped on the boundless imperial purple Qi and ascended above the outer space, loudly declaring to heaven and earth.

"I am the Lord of the Zhou Tian Stars; now more than half of the Innate Star Gods have been born one after another."

"To make the outer space prosperous, the Honghuang Tian Di prosperous, all living beings no longer insensitive to the passage of time, and all spirits in the world understand the changes of years!"

"I divide the time of a year with the number of Zhou Tian completion!"

"The movement of the Twenty-Eight Mansions divides the twelve heavenly stems and hours, which is one day!"

"Use the sun rising in the east and setting in the west as the day!"

"Use the Moon hanging in the sky and retreating as the night!"

"The direction pointed by the handle of the Big Dipper Seven Stars divides the twenty-four solar terms, combining the rotation of the four seasons and the changes of all things in heaven and earth!"

"Spring is Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Awakening of Insects, Spring Equinox, Pure Brightness, Grain Rain!"

"Summer is Beginning of Summer, Grain Buds, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Slight Heat, Great Heat!"

"Autumn is Beginning of Autumn, Limit of Heat, White Dew, Autumn Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost Descent!"

"Winter is Beginning of Winter, Slight Snow, Great Snow, Winter Solstice, Slight Cold, Great Cold!"

As Diti's loud declaration fell, heaven and earth celebrated, boundless morning purple Qi came from the east, and the sky full of Dao rhyme golden lotuses suddenly rose!

The ocean of heaven and earth merit that covered billions of miles came out from the void.

The divine light of blessing covered the Zhou Tian stars, and while the fortune of the stars rose, it divided about sixty percent of the merit and fell directly onto Diti.

This time, he still did not choose to refine it, but continued to condense the golden light of merit!

Such a massive amount of merit not only made the golden wheel of merit behind him instantly expand to a hundred feet in size,

but also a meritorious auspicious cloud comparable to a top-grade innate meritorious spiritual treasure appeared under his feet!
