he wore a brocade robe edged in gold, a jade belt at his waist, and cloud-treading boots, his bearing majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi held a golden lamp in his hand, a crimson flame blooming like a lotus, illuminating all around and manifesting infinite mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed the timeline, looking back toward the outermost edge of the Sun Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furtive shadow darted back and forth along several timelines near the Sun Star, disrupting the Sun’s true fire, gradually forming several dark zones at its outermost rim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this fellow doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thoughtful expression appeared on Taiyi’s handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I’ll return first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi flipped his hand and tucked away the golden lamp; his towering form walked back to the present, seeming slow yet moving with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds of golden fire spreading through spacetime began to retract; boundless chaos and darkness immediately surged forth, swallowing the entire timeline he had traversed within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped into the present spacetime, the stars shimmered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another unknown spacetime was folding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timeline it represented rapidly converged toward the Sun Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, the entire timeline became a tiny speck of dust within the Sun Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Jun appeared beneath the Fusang tree, clad in splendid robes with star-patterned, cloud-sleeved sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows arched like distant mountains, radiating a calm, restrained charm; his eyes gleamed like polished obsidian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Jun looked at Taiyi approaching him, and a brilliant smile instantly spread across his face: “What did you gain, my brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi did not answer; instead, he gazed at Di Jun, who held a long sword, and frowned slightly: “Brother, your journey did not go smoothly, did it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi’s tone carried doubt, yet his gaze was nearly certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Jun casually sheathed his sword; a flash of cloudlight appeared, and in his right hand instantly materialized a lantern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lantern stood nine inches tall, entirely gilded, with two wicks burning into twin flames that intertwined like coiled serpents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing its shape and examining its substance, it was indistinguishable from the golden lamp Taiyi had obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Spirit Treasure: Sun Golden Lamp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This treasure is supremely yang and fiery; there are nine in total, forming a complete set of spirit treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet although this treasure originates from the Sun Star, not all of them exist within the Honghuang world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honghuang was created by Pangu, the supreme eternal true realm above all heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Honghuang Sun casts projections across all heavens, all worlds, and boundless spacetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth and seventh lamps in the brothers’ hands were both retrieved from Sun Stars in other dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Di Jun spoke with casual indifference: “Though there was a slight detour on the way, the outcome was good—I not only obtained this lamp, but also encountered a fellow Daoist along the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi nodded slightly, taking the golden lamp from Di Jun’s hand as he asked: “Did that Daoist leave a name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you planning to avenge me, my brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Di Jun raised his eyebrows, a slight smile curling his lips: “That Daoist came and went in a flash; after we exchanged a few blows, he retreated hastily and left no name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, when traveling abroad, which proper deity would announce their name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not certain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi smiled: “In today’s Honghuang, improper deities are growing ever more numerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just look—there’s one right outside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the two brothers turned their gaze simultaneously toward the outermost edge of the Sun Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chenxing Shangzun emerged from the void, darting erratically among the tangled timelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in a terrible state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m finally back!” Chenxing Shangzun’s eyes filled with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This journey was no easy feat. In a moment of carelessness within the mother river of time, Chenxing Shangzun was swept into a chaotic current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exerted tremendous effort to rediscover the correct temporal point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even forced to activate a backup Dao-body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the ordeal, Chenxing couldn’t help but sigh: “All because of the succubus!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting today, I’m quitting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words caught at his lips; he stopped himself: “Never mind—I’ll quit tomorrow. Tonight, I must celebrate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around. “Huh? Wait?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did they bring me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the world encircled by endless divine flames, Chenxing Shangzun was stunned: “Is this still the Eastern Sea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Sun Star!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two divine beings appeared simultaneously, advancing with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sun Star?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chenxing Shangzun’s lip twitched; knowing he was in the wrong, he hurriedly said: “Don’t misunderstand, I came only to borrow fire—I’m leaving now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Jun raised an eyebrow: “You come to borrow fire from the Sun Star during daytime?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then tonight, are you planning to sneak off to the Moon Star?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi snorted: “Next time, pick a better excuse—we’ve seen this act too many times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Bell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi hurled Chenxing Shangzun back into the river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I just got back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He mentioned the Eastern Sea?” Di Jun asked. “Have we ever seen him before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi thought for a moment: “I don’t think so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever sunlight reached, he could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pity—there are more and more places in Honghuang now that sunlight cannot reach.” Taiyi sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obscuring the heavens and blocking the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a divine art every primordial deity strives to create and comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wishes to expose all their secrets beneath the Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not entirely bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Jun’s eyes gleamed: “It means Honghuang’s vitality is growing ever greater!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the point of a barren world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dimension I visited was utterly lifeless—the entire universe was decaying, not a single living being remained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi smiled: “Brother, you no longer despise them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You always found those creatures spying on the Sun Star annoying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One is one, two is two!” At Taiyi’s reminder, Di Jun’s gaze also showed a hint of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the Sun Star’s uniqueness, deities always seek to investigate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This great sun hangs perpetually overhead; Taiyi can stand upon the Sun Star and observe the Honghuang earth, while countless eyes across Honghuang naturally gaze back at the Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the brothers truly did not fear their surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they held an advantage: the great sun is Pangu’s eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To look up at the Sun is no different than gazing directly into Pangu’s eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could meet Pangu’s gaze without squinting, without frowning, without feeling guilty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s no wonder they can’t see clearly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, compared to staring directly at the Sun, primordial deities on the earth prefer—and delight in—admiring the Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Sun’s blazing heat, which cannot be looked upon directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Moon carries a gentler radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is like the care and tenderness of the Great Pangu toward all beings of Honghuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon waxes and wanes, brightens and dims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was a full moon, a half-moon, or a crescent moon, the spirits upon the earth never grew tired of gazing upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left eye glared with righteous fury, radiant and majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The right eye radiated compassion, illuminating the endless night of ages past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to a misconception: many spirits mistakenly believed the Taiyin Star was easier to probe than the Taiyang Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wangshu’s troubles have always been greater than those of the two Taiyang Star deities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, more spirits lay dormant in the spacetime surrounding the Taiyin Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1331,"2026-06-19T19:10:14.517Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5714ffb96c312c6f9cff4719e6d5d79edd4b34642c97240a916ba536c308ad51","this-honghuang-is-not-serious-chapter-14","this-honghuang-is-not-serious-chapter-12",413,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-honghuang-is-not-serious-cover.jpg"]
