C1663 Mysterious Spectacle

The Heart Stone radiated with a dazzling brilliance, its light resplendent and captivating. Tiny specks of Yin Sunflower Essence within it twinkled like a constellation of stars, casting a sacred glow that enchanted the soul and beckoned one to explore its depths.

At the entrance of the expansive Chaos Abyss, the Heart Stone continued to grow at an astonishing rate. In just a moment, it had swelled to a size even greater than the star beneath the Chaos Roc's feet.

Compared to the now colossal Heart Stone, Yinn Tiehua's patch of yellow-brown land seemed insignificant.

The Heart Stone that Youyu had expelled hovered motionless at the mouth of the Chaos Abyss, impervious to its pull. No matter how the Chaos Abyss attempted to draw it in, the Heart Stone, much like Youyu himself, remained utterly unaffected.

It was clear that Youyu was attempting to entice the Origin Realm God from the depths of the Chaos Abyss, challenging the god to enter the Heart Stone with his soul and face off within its confines.

With the emergence of the Heart Stone, the sensation of soul-tearing that plagued everyone's minds had significantly diminished.

Yinn Tiehua, previously lost in a daze, swiftly regained her clarity. She gazed into the Chaos Abyss with a mix of awe and trepidation, her voice rough as she asked, "Origin Realm God?"

Youyu gave a subtle nod in confirmation.

Yinn Tiehua was about to speak when she suddenly noticed President Lyi was nowhere to be found. Startled, she quickly surmised that President Lyi had seized the chance to slip away.

"The prize lies before us. Do you have the courage to enter and claim it?" Youyu challenged, releasing his hold on Yinn Tiehua's shoulder. His silhouette flickered, and he materialized above the expanding Heart Stone.

Facing the massive swirling vortex of space, he sensed the alien energies emanating from it and declared fearlessly, "Since you've made your presence known, you must have temporarily confined Tan Xiaotian. Free from distractions, you still hesitated to seize the Heart Stone after I released it." Youyu's brow furrowed, sensing that something was amiss.

In that instant, the youthful Void Divine King shuddered, his eyes alight with a peculiar gleam.

Fixated on the spinning Chaos Abyss, his intense gaze sought to penetrate the multilayered dimensions, eager to uncover the secrets that lay in its deepest recesses.

His heart pounded furiously, and within him, the Life Altar spun with increasing velocity.

Yu Yuan asked in surprise, "What's the matter with you?"

He had keenly sensed something was off with the Void Divine King through the unique Life Altar.

He could tell that the Void Divine King was engulfed in immense confusion and shock, as though he had stumbled upon something unbelievable yet couldn't immediately verify it.

Moreover, a sense of anticipation and joy bubbled up within the Void Divine King, reminiscent of reuniting with a long-lost friend.

"There's an aura of extreme wisdom."

The Void Divine King's reply came through the Life Altar.

"Wisdom!"

Yu Yuan's heart trembled. He gazed at the swirling Chaos Abyss with a look of astonishment and cried out, "How can this be?"

The Wisdom Divine King had perished in the Ascension Mountain Range, and shortly after his death, the Origin Realm Gate emerged in the valley.

Han Miaoyuan, the human race leader, and the supreme Demon Phoenix both confirmed the Wisdom Divine King's demise.

Given their power and insight, a misjudgment was highly unlikely.

"No, it's different."

Void Divine King's expression turned somber as he shook his head. "The Wisdom Divine King should have perished completely, yet it's possible that some remnants were acquired by the Origin Realm God."

"Could it be Mr. Yan's scent you've picked up?" Yu Yuan inquired.

Yan Qiling's understanding of spatial power, which he derived from the Wisdom Divine King, had led him, along with Youyu, Tan Xiaotian, and others, into the Gray Domain via the Realm passageway.

Youyu claimed that a mysterious space deep within the Gray Domain had instantly drawn in Yan Qiling upon his arrival.

The Origin Realm God, a master of spatial power, appeared to be in the same mysterious space within the depths of the Gray Domain.

Was it possible that the Origin Realm God had learned a portion of the Wisdom Divine King's spatial ways and was intentionally emitting his essence to draw in Tai Xu?

"No, it's definitely not that."

Void Divine King shook his head. When he tried to sense the presence again, he discovered that the aura had vanished without a trace.

Swoosh!

The Chaos Roc gracefully arrived, positioning itself between Void Divine King and Yu Yuan. It peered intently at the massive spatial vortex, and after a brief contemplation, commanded, "Open!"

Whoosh!

The star he commanded transformed into a gigantic, shimmering bubble in the blink of an eye. It ceased resisting the pull of the Chaos Abyss and plunged directly into its depths.

Xuanli, the Ash Divine Crocodile, the Raymon Beast, and the Three-legged Golden Crow were terrified and fled in a panic. They had not anticipated that the Chaos Roc would suddenly forsake a star so rich in resources, and they all hastily descended upon Yinn Tiehua's territory.

The star, resembling a glistening bubble, materialized at the entrance of the Chaos Abyss, shrouded in a misty aura, right beside the heart stone. Abruptly, the Oddity Stars, once the domain of the heart clam beast, transformed into a series of reflective mirrors.

One mirror revealed a landscape of towering mountains and serene valleys. Amidst the dense white clouds, a mountain soared into the sky, its grandeur striking. "Ascension Peak!" Yu Yuan and the Void Divine King exclaimed in unison.

"Within the Chaos Abyss lie numerous hidden passages, each leading to different Origin Realm Gates! The whereabouts of the Origin Realm God are unknown. Even President Lyi, upon entering, could not be certain of his destination. The Origin Realm God has turned the Chaos Abyss into a spatial nexus connecting various realms!"

The Chaos Roc's expression grew stern as it gazed at another mirror. Within this mirror was a world awash with streaks of light, where members of the Spirit Succubus tribe gathered around a young girl, seemingly absorbing her teachings. Astonishingly, the girl bore the likeness of Benin, but her presence, her gaze, and her mannerisms were unlike the Benin Yu Yuan knew.

Sensing that she was being observed from another realm through the Chaos Abyss's link, Benin abruptly halted her speech. Her eyes and the mocking smile playing on her lips magnified, filling the entire mirror. "Chaos Roc," an icy voice emanated from her pearly white teeth.

The Chaos Roc responded with a mocking smile of its own. Then, with a resounding crash, the mirror, born from the depths of the sea, shattered.

"I have seen into the depths," the Chaos Roc declared, attempting to unveil more worlds linked to the Origin Realm Gates. Suddenly, Youyu interjected with a curious "Hmm?"

In an explosive moment, within the sea of stars refined by the Chaos Roc, the reflection of the heart clam beast's hidden ocean became clear, seemingly casting back the location of the Origin Realm God. There, the Hannya Divine Tree, vibrant and reborn, took root in the multicolored earth, drawing in nourishment to grow ever stronger.

At the base of its roots, a bizarre two-headed serpent lay coiled, seemingly guarding the nascent divine tree.

Both the head and tail of the serpent bore heads, and they were held high, as if in eager anticipation of something.

"Disaster Snake!" Chaos Roc's face contorted with distaste. "She, too, is among the Starry Behemoths. She once battled the Secular Bird and, though gravely wounded, managed to flee. I never imagined she'd still be alive, let alone that she'd been hiding in the Gray Domain all this time! Now it's clear, the Secular Bird ventured into the Gray Domain in search of her!"

"That is a newly sprouted Hannya Divine Tree!" interjected Tai Xu.

"A new one?" Youyu's brow furrowed.

"The corrupted Hannya Divine Tree that once thrived in the Deep Starfield must have perished. This fresh Hannya Divine Tree must have sprouted anew from its seed. The Hannya Divine Tree and the Secular Bird share a close bond, possessing the ability to regenerate from their seeds."

At this revelation, Tai Xu's eyes sparkled, and he exclaimed, "This new Hannya Divine Tree, having yet to be tainted by malevolence, can still be redeemed, can still be turned back. If the Secular Bird can secure this tree of rebirth, it could return it to the Dark Elfkind and the Winged Race."

Long ago, the Secular Bird made its home upon the Hannya Divine Tree, the two forming a natural alliance.

"The Disaster Snake must have been guided and aided by the Origin Realm God. She lies coiled at the roots of the newly sprouted Hannya Divine Tree within the realm visible only to us. The one she truly awaits... is likely the Secular Bird!" Chaos Roc exclaimed, alarmed.

"She aims to collaborate with the Origin Realm God to hunt down the Secular Bird Queen! Hence, the Origin Realm God cannot afford to be distracted, nor dare to engage in the multifaceted battle within the heart stone during such a critical juncture!"
