Chapter 1906: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun: Primal Beginning and Silent Annihilation

As this voice appeared in Wang Lin's mind, the ray of light seen by his left eye became increasingly bright, almost completely enveloping his entire body in its dazzling radiance.

An understanding of the Primal Beginning Origin gradually emerged within Wang Lin as he was suffused by this light.

This was not a Legacy; rather, it was the complete Primal Beginning Origin being displayed before Wang Lin. How much he could perceive and comprehend had nothing to do with the Donglin Pool; the key depended entirely on the individual.

Some people might see that ray of light on their very first attempt, gain a slight realization, internalize the experience of the Primal Beginning Origin, and perhaps, even after leaving the Donglin Pool, the nascent sprout of the Primal Beginning Origin would already exist deep within their hearts.

Others might gain nothing, just like Wang Lin before, only having their Origin slightly increased by a trace.

But there were also those who, perhaps within those mere two opportunities, gained the majority of the understanding of the Primal Beginning Origin, carrying away not just the sprout but also the profound knowledge upon waking.

Whether anyone throughout history had completely taken away the entire Primal Beginning Origin, Wang Lin did not know. At this moment, he was immersed in that strange state. In this state, he seemed to forget everything; his right eye was blurry, but what his left eye saw was the perfect transformation of the special Origin known as Primal Beginning.

The passage of time had already been forgotten by Wang Lin. When the power of the Donglin Pool within his body forcefully awakened him, a dazzling light flickered in his left eye for a breath before vanishing.

“Still lacking a little…” Wang Lin's eyes shone brightly, and for the fifth time, he closed his eyes to meditate in the Donglin Pool.

This time, immersing himself, he used the Art of Deception Dao to bypass the scrutiny of the pool water's aura. In an instant, Wang Lin's left eye saw the boundless light seemingly right before him.

“The Primal Beginning Origin was born from nothingness. Long ago, there were no Immortals in the world. Ancient people looked at the sun and worshipped it, trying to obtain the sun's light and heat through devout reverence… Thus, the Power of Primal Beginning appeared. This power is extremely mysterious; it is the first wisp of power generated by the ancients worshipping the Celestial Sun, the first manifestation of the rising sun… The Power of Primal Beginning gradually transformed. With the passage of time and the emergence of certain extraordinary individuals, the Primal Beginning Rule came to exist within the operating rules of the world.

The Primal Beginning Rule causes the Celestial Sun to rise and fall. However, under my, Du's, observation, I realized that the rising and falling of the Celestial Sun is actually caused by the movement of the heart. Because the heart moves, the earth moves, and thus the sky moves, and even the stationary Celestial Sun experiences fluctuations.

Delving further into this realization, observing the countless rising suns across the firmament again and again, I, Du, realized the beginning of the Primal Beginning Origin in this world… This Primal Beginning Origin is the starting point of all light and heat…” Wang Lin was immersed in that voice. He clearly felt that the light seen by his left eye completely enveloped him, making him, along with the voice, seem to witness the billions of transformations of the rising sun within that light.

Amidst these billions of rising suns, Wang Lin felt a surge of vast righteous Qi. This Qi was the aura of the rising sun, an existence that was upright, unyielding, and stood tall between heaven and earth!

A person who immerses themselves in this kind of rising sun breaking dawn for a long time will surely have a responsible character—if not one that stands tall between heaven and earth, then at least one who is worthy of their own heart!

After a long time, Wang Lin opened his eyes from his fifth immersion. The moment his left eye opened, a bright radiance persisted for dozens of breaths before slowly dissipating.

Liu Jinbiao, standing nearby, felt his mind tremble the moment he saw the light in Wang Lin's left eye and dared not look directly at it. Even the Golden Venerable Sea Dragon repeatedly avoided that gaze.

Within the pupil of Wang Lin's left eye, beneath the light, the outline of a sun seemed to be slowly forming, but as the light dispersed, it gradually failed to materialize completely.

“I am not unfamiliar with the Power of Primal Beginning… Back in the Immortal Cave Realm, I created the Fading Night Divine Ability, which is precisely a manifestation of the Power of Primal Beginning… Afterward, as I gained more insights, I gradually grasped the Primal Beginning Rule, and even instilled belief into this Fading Night Art on the Immortal Astral Continent… But I never expected that this Primal Beginning could also produce an Origin… The so-called Origin is essentially an understanding and realization of a certain matter that has reached an extremely profound level, seeing through all its changes, and even being able to execute it with a raised hand…” Wang Lin murmured, immersing himself in the Donglin Pool for the sixth time.

Time flowed by. Wang Lin immersed himself repeatedly in the Donglin Pool for realization. The time he spent in that strange state also slowly lengthened as the number of his realizations increased.

Until the next day, before the break of dawn, while the world was still dark, Wang Lin opened his eyes within the Donglin Pool. The moment he opened his eyes, his left eye suddenly emitted ten thousand feet of light, and a sun even appeared in his pupil!

The sky at this moment was originally pitch black, and the rising sun had not yet appeared; it would only rise from the distant horizon after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. But as Wang Lin opened his eyes, and as the ten thousand feet of light in his left eye surged up, it was as if Wang Lin had replaced the rising sun, coming half an hour early to dispel the darkness of the world.

“Having realized the Primal Beginning Origin, one can control the rising of the sun and transform oneself into the rising sun, truly reversing night and day! No matter how I used my Fading Night Art before, it was merely a Divine Ability, but now, with my realization of the Primal Beginning Origin, I can turn the illusory into reality, replacing the sun that has yet to appear and controlling the Primal Beginning Rule!” As Wang Lin murmured, the light in his left eye grew denser. After enveloping his entire body, he looked exactly like a sun from afar.

Liu Jinbiao and the Golden Venerable Sea Dragon had long since retreated, not daring to approach. Slowly, the light covering Wang Lin's entire body obscured his own shadow. His entire being had completely transformed into the rising sun, and his body slowly floated up from the Donglin Pool, ascending toward the sky.

During this ascent, the black curtain of the sky dissipated layer by layer, constantly retreating as if being forced away. Furthermore, the pitch blackness of the earth seemed to melt away under the rising sun that Wang Lin had become, being dispelled in large swaths, revealing the sunlit land.

When the sun that Wang Lin had transformed into swept its light over the Donglin Hall, bathing the great hall previously shrouded in night in light, the Old Ancestor of the Donglin Sect inside the hall opened his eyes from his cross-legged meditation. He looked at the brightness outside the hall and fell silent.

“Even I cannot distinguish whether this power that dispelled the night is the true rising sun or a transformation of a Divine Ability… He has realized it…”

As Wang Lin ascended, the instant his body reached the high point between heaven and earth, the entire world became completely bright, and all darkness vanished… This process lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Immediately afterward, the truly expected rising sun slowly ascended from the distant horizon, resulting in two suns appearing strikingly in the sky!

Wang Lin turned around, looking at the rising sun between heaven and earth behind him. A bright radiance shone in his eyes as he watched the sun gradually rise higher and higher, finally hanging high in the world. He then closed his eyes.

“So this is the Primal Beginning Origin… I understand.” The light outside Wang Lin's body completely dissipated as he closed his eyes. He stood in the sky, and that stance lasted for an entire day.

It wasn't until the setting sun fell, watching the Celestial Sun gradually being swallowed by the darkness, and the entire world once again turned dark, that Wang Lin's body slowly descended, returning to a cross-legged position in the pool water.

“The Primal Beginning Origin represents the sunrise, so there must be another special Origin that controls the sunset…” Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he immersed himself in the Donglin Pool.

During this immersion in the Donglin Pool, Wang Lin's left eye was full of light, but his right eye remained blurry, unable to see anything clearly.

“What the left eye sees is the brightness of the sunrise, so what the right eye will see must be the darkness of the sunset.” Soon, Wang Lin woke up, but he did not give up, trying again and again.

It wasn't until the sky's darkness reached deep night, when the entire world seemed to quiet down, as if in silence, and all things were still, that Wang Lin once again closed his eyes and immersed himself in the Donglin Pool.

What his right eye gradually saw was no longer blurriness, but pitch blackness… This darkness formed a sharp contrast with the brightness seen by his left eye.

Under this contrast, Wang Lin's mind seemed to be split into two parts: one representing the light of the sunrise, and the other representing the darkness of the world after sunset.

“I, Du, walked between the Return to Void, observing the areas of darkness after sunset, and realized that after Primal Beginning comes Silent Annihilation… This Silent Annihilation Origin represents all darkness…”

That deep voice echoed in Wang Lin's mind once more, lingering for a long time.

Time passed. Wang Lin had already stayed in the Donglin Pool of the Donglin Sect for three months. During these three months, at sunrise, he transformed into the Celestial Sun, ascending to dispel the darkness, and at sunset, he silently watched the scene of night swallowing light.

Over the course of three months, a hundred viewings, coupled with repeated extraordinary realizations inside the Donglin Pool, allowed Wang Lin to slowly gain a profound understanding of the Silent Annihilation Origin.

However, compared to the Power of Primal Beginning, three months was far from enough for Wang Lin to fully acquire the Silent Annihilation Origin. During these three months, because he already understood and used the Power of Primal Beginning, Wang Lin had initially mastered the Primal Beginning Origin, and his grasp grew deeper and deeper.

But the Silent Annihilation Origin was still being realized and explored.

Wang Lin was not in a hurry to leave. He simply took up residence there, watching the changes between day and night all day long, and occasionally immersing himself in the Donglin Pool for realization.

Just like that, eight years flashed by.

In those eight years, the Donglin Sect received no new guests, and the Donglin Sect Old Ancestor did not come to disturb him, allowing Wang Lin to spend eight years in peace.

During these eight years, the Golden Venerable Sea Dragon, through some unknown method employed by Liu Jinbiao, actually got along quite harmoniously with him, and their relationship seemed extremely good, even allowing Liu Jinbiao to sit on its back and take him out to circle within the world.

After eight years, another five years passed…
