Paragon of Sin
chapter-1542

"Incredible!"

That single word echoed resoundingly within the hearts and minds of every last person on the Minor Elysium, and it resonated cleanly with the soul, stirred the spirit, and roused the sense of discovery and adventure.

Azure-Prime Galactic Zone.

A Galactic Zone was a region of space of gargantuan proportions defined by living beings, established with borders of formations, arrays, and the colonization of natural-born Void-Blank Space. A galaxy was a whole region of space, including every inhospitable, uninhabitable, abandoned, desolate, forbidden, ruinous, and chaotic location within. It was a whole region with natural borders etched within the void.

When gazing upon a galaxy, viewing the starry skies was enough. When gazing upon a Galactic Zone, the majesty was indescribably phenomenal. The Azure-Prime Galactic Zone was a prime example of this.

There were no starfields.

The entirety of the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone had been colonized by the hegemony within-the three Ascended Sovereigns. Its potential had long since been excavated over the millions of years of its long, extraordinary history. There was no region unexplored, no area unmapped, every dimensional layer of space was included within the totality of the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone.

"Oh my heavenly heart," Ming Shufeng muttered under her breath as her jaw dropped at the mere sight. Her hands pressed against her chest as if to verify that she was alive and that what she saw was unquestionably real. Even while bearing witness, she couldn't believe it.

The entire Azure-Prime Galactic Zone had three identifying regions that were segregated by an invisible boundary.

Planets did not roam freely; Lunar satellites did not dot the skies, hovering around solar stars, reflecting the brilliance of their radiance upon celestial bodies like in the Neo-Dawn Stellar Region; there were no solar stars in sight. What they all saw, in fact, was not a single planet, moon, or star.

Not a single one.

They all saw three territories of size so gargantuan, so massive, so titanically large that no planet or star had ever come remotely close.

The first: an earthen disk of uneven surfaces in a circular design. It spanned hundreds of trillions of miles in every direction. On its surface was a hazy shroud of hazel-gold that was difficult to discern at first glance, as if this flat monstrosity of a continent was guarded by an unimaginable number of atmospheric layers. It was the largest continental flat earth that anyone from the Ancient Sealed Region had ever seen. In fact, it was larger than the entirety of the Ancient Sealed Regions by dozens upon dozens of times.

At the edges of this continent were openings that spewed out gushes of milky gold liquid that seemed to contain endless stars. This liquid fell like a torrential waterfall, drawing downwards, and then pulled at the bottom of the continent, surging like tamed, ferocious dragons toward the center of the continent from beneath. There laid a planetary core that seemed to be forged out of pure gold.

If one observed closely every minute change upon this continent, every second it was as incredible as the vast Dark Void, ever-expanding, always growing, and seemingly in harmony with chaos mana. The edges of the continent grew inches with every passing second, creating high amounts of new land and seas.

It was as if the world above leaked into the core below, nurturing it, and in kind, the core below grew, further expanding the world above. A perpetual, never-ending cycle that was beyond glorious to describe.

"The Exalted Republic's Onesoul Continent!" Liu Suyin cried.

The Exalted Republic was a single landmass-a flat continental earth of epic size far beyond the imaginations of mere mortals. When she saw the Exalted World Core that was legendary within history books, said to be the heart and soul of the Royal Lineage of the Exalted Republic, she was awed to the limits. It was said that the continent was forged to reflect the unbreakable unity among the republic's people and housed their undying will.

They, as a whole, were a single entity that would thrive and despair together throughout the ages. The lofty sentiment was enough to establish the backbone of the Exalted Republic's dynasty and creed.

There was no Solar Star for the Onesoul Continent as a whole In terms of orbit. Instead, within the continent's atmosphere was an ever-changing shift of Solar Stars formed by the respective overseers of their worlds. All of them were World-Bound Star Domains, and it was said every citizen and lifeform offered yearly tribute to these stars to improve their quality for the greater good, generating some of the most incredible Solar Stars known throughout the world.

"How can that be real?!" Shui Fengbao voiced his disbelief.

The second territory was as massive as the Onesoul Continent. It was rhombus-shaped, with an irregular top and bottom, split off by eight circular rings that resembled Mystic Radiance Belts.

"Mountains?!" Even Yao Houyi was unable to remain calm. The sight before him was simply incredible.

The top half of the rhombus was a mountain with a gaping center that opened up, releasing jet-black smoke tinged with fiery golden red-a volcano!

The bottom half was two conjoined mountains, one larger than the other. The smaller of the two mountains was sharp at the edge, like an immortal sword with devilish serrated teeth while the larger mountain which was roughly forty percent thicker, longer, and taller was smoother, at the top was a flat surface as if a portion of it had been sliced off. The three types of mountains co-existed, one at the top releasing endless smoke while the bottom half was of two conjoined mountains that seemed to be a perilous climb.

The size similarly spanned for trillions upon trillions of miles. The black smoke released by the volcano was absorbed by the eight belts as if they were greedy piranhas, spinning in place as they generated a single atmospheric layer that made peering into the contents of this massive world impossible.

"Infernal's Gift, the Summit of Trinity!" Cao Cuifen felt her heart pounding at the mere sight. The Infernal Sovereign's Infernal's Gift, the Summit of Trinity was often referred to as the Tartaras!

The homeland of the Titans!

The eight Mystic Radiance Belts were all exuding a bone-ash colored radiance, and Wei Wuyin felt his Stellar-Paragon Physique tremble slightly and his eyes throb intensely.

The eternal aura inherent within his blood, cells, and soul via the Stellar-Paragon Physique and the eternal aura within his Eye of Immortality could feel...something within those belts.

"Are those Solar Stars?!" Qing Qiumu's exuberant eyes suffused with excitement, discovery, and curiosity focused on the last remaining area!

This was unlike the other two. There were three balls of incandescent radiance. Despite being so far away, they could feel the faint heat on their skin. It was scorching, dry, and soothing all at once. Each ball emitted a different type of light, a different type of warmth, and they each span trillions upon trillions of miles, larger than even peak Absolute-sized Solar Stars by a considerable margin!

Qing Qiumu mistaking them as Solar Stars was entirely reasonable!

Wei Wuyin appeared beside her, Yue Songli in tow. "The Three Radiant Empires-Brightlight, Darklight, and Truelight. They reside within the shells of solar and lunar radiance that resembe solar stars but aren't. Within which are moons that serve as planets, instead of starfields, they refer to them as moonfields and stellar regions as lunar regions. It is said they have ever-present daytime, nighttime, or stretches of erratic changes for long or short periods depending on the empire and location." Wei Wuyin explained as the Little Defiant thrummed within his Sea of Consciousness.

That feeling was one he was keenly familiar with-Hunger.

Qing Qimu revealed a beautifully wondrous smile of admiration and awe. None of these places were ordinary!

"I want to..." Yue Songli's eyes glinted with inspiration and artistic brilliance. Her hand tightened around Wei Wuyin's hands.

"We'll stay for three hours at this location while the Stellar Transit Formation is activating. Use this time as you please." Wei Wuyin said and Yue Songli jolted. She gave Wei Wuyin a look, knowing that there was utterly no need to warm up any formation or whatever, simply justifying a reason to stay a little longer. After all, if it required that long, then the elderly man would have noticed something was wrong with the illusion.

Yue Songli was about to say thank you, but when she saw those silver eyes of his, those feelings of consideration and tenderness, she knew that thanks were unnecessary. The best thanks she could give was to be with him loyally, entirely, and honestly.

She let go of Wei Wuyin's hand, hurriedly moving to a position to watch the scene.

She wanted to paint.

To give her earnest all and heart to depict this scene and every ounce of emotion it gave her upon a canvas. To show her truest feelings of excitement at escaping the cage, at seeing the world, at beginning a journey along with the one she...the one she...

Blushing intensely, she began to take out her supplies.

Qing Qiumu grew curious at Yue Songli's antics. She gave Wei Wuyin a curious look. "She's going to paint. Go. Join her in illustrating your heart. Consider it as cultivation of one's heart and sense of self."

Her eyes brightened as she lightly bit her lips, hesitancy in her gaze, but with Wei Wuyin's supportive eyes gently urging her forward with expectation, she firmly nodded and stood next to Yue Songli.

"Can I...do it too?" She asked.

Yue Songli was taken aback, but seeing Qing Qiumu and her lovely countenance alongside that gentle, motherly disposition, she couldn't say no. She didn't want to either. Just from their very first words to each other, she already liked this young woman. Seeing her display interest in her passion, she knew that they would be good friends.

"Yeah. Let me set you up. I'll teach you how..." The two were soon engrossed in their own world.

Ming Shufeng's gaze was focused on the Exalted Republic. After a while, she performed some hand-seals and whispered a little. Eventually, she sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate earnestly with a Mystic-Earth Essence Stone.

Su Mei brought out Xiao Bai who was excitedly neighing at the majestic scene of the world beyond their world. They were just far enough away in the Void-Blank Space of galaxies that they could grasp it all with a look yet close enough to see the details. The two were in awe, but they nodded firmly in response.

"Familiarize yourselves with the Minor Elysium," Wei Wuyin sent mentally to Yao Houyi and Shui Fengbao as his right hand slowly caressed the Myriad Void Crystal that hung upon his neck for decades. Regrettably, Bai Lin wasn't here.

Within his Saint Ring, Zuhei stared unblinkingly at the scene through a projection. His scarlet eyes reflected Tartarus, the Infernal Sovereign's domain and the home of all titans. "What is this...feeling?"

Beneath Wei Wuyin's feet, his shadow wriggled slightly. Its movement somehow conveyed a type of subdued excitement...

Two fragrant scents stimulated his senses. Before he could say anything, he was already being pulled by Cao Cuifen toward the deck below. Behind him, Liu Suyin held onto his belt shyly as she followed, pushing him along, her face redder than an apple and her breathing a little rapid with anticipation.

Cao Cuifen looked back with a seductive, temptress-like expression as they neared the door, her intentions as clear as the stars in the night sky. These two women had only recently lost their maidenhood, yet they were extremely proactive at this very moment. The two had pent-up frustrations from Wei Wuyin's continuous feats, and their urges were already on the verge of being uncontrollable.

The next three hours were bound to be another night of incredible passion.

Young Master Shang drank his flagon of endless wine with repeated big gulps. "Must be good to be an Emperor."

He looked at the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone and the Faux-Immortal Sky Source Seal that was invisible to all living beings beneath the Resonant Soul Realm, enshrouding the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone.

"This is fine too, I guess. I'll just consider this repayment for that excellent wine you gave me, Little Sis."
