"New Everlands!"
The Eiwrone God-King, Taixu, sensed the bizarre occurrences in the Ashlands and was struck by a daring hypothesis.
He was privy to the details.
The creation of the New Everlands required certain prerequisites: traces of the Primal Soul, Primal Blood, the Titan Spinosaurus, and a star suitable to become the New Everlands.
Each of these conditions was indispensable, and their fulfillment was necessary for the transformation to be possible.
Once Yu Yuan fully awakened, the Primal Soul branded within his dominant soul would shine forth. His Solar Spirit, blessed by the Primal Blood, was endowed with the complete Secrets of Life.
At this very moment, a newborn Titan Spinosaurus resided in the Ashlands!
And what of the one tasked with overseeing the cycle of reincarnation and the Lunar Meridian? Taixu's gaze involuntarily shifted to Youyu at his side.
The fundamental prerequisites were already in place. The cosmic order from the Dragon Slaying Stage had left its mark on an Alien Planet concealed deep within the Ashlands. What did this signify?
It signified suitability!
The Ashlands were once the domain of the supreme Titan Spinosaurus, and the cosmic energy of this extraordinary place was exponentially more intense than that of the Everlands!
It was highly probable that the Alien Planet, treasured by the Old Titan, offered far superior foundational conditions than the original Everlands!
Rooted in the enigmatic Ashlands, once it successfully transitioned into the Everlands, it would naturally convert the tumultuous yet potent cosmic energy into pure spiritual energy.
Could this so-called "New Everlands" then coalesce more primal essence and forge additional divine seats?
Taixu was visibly moved.
"The Lifeblood contains the true essence of life. If only I could obtain a drop of Asa's lifeblood!"
Abruptly, an idea struck him, and he sat down, utilizing the Altar of Rebirth within himself to make a request to Yu Yuan.
—Please save a drop of Asa's lifeblood for me!
Yu Yuan, on the other side, readily agreed to the request without hesitation.
The once grief-stricken Taixu found his heart's fog lifted in an instant by Yu Yuan's promise!
His eyes regained their sparkle, and a smile returned to his face.
Asa was a cosmic giant beast. Any drop of her lifeblood preserved could, in the future, be used by Yu Yuan, the master of life's ultimate truth, to painstakingly reassemble her beastly form at a certain cost.
He was prepared to pay any price to reclaim what was lost, seeking enough vital energy to do so.
Asa was not a secular bird; she had not unlocked the arcane secrets of rebirth, and thus could not resurrect through her own power.
Asa needed to depend on an external force, and Yu Yuan was that force!
"A hidden Alien Planet, once concealed by the young beasts, has been uncovered by him. The Ashlands have taken on an unfamiliar air, emitting an aura that sets my heart racing," the Abyssal Leviathan said with a furrowed brow, scanning the horizon, feeling as though it was trapped by the Everlands once more.
The Eiwrone, unaffected by the young beast's seal, recognized the signs the moment it was drawn to the Dragon Slaying Stage.
With the removal of the Three Headed Dragon Corpse, the Dragon Slaying Stage's buried secret was triggered, unleashing a mysterious force.
This force, so fearsome and domineering, sought to claim the creation of the Old Titan himself!
Now, he saw that the young beast's influence seemed to have been eclipsed by the Dragon Slaying Stage.
"What are you trying to accomplish?"
The Abyssal Leviathan gazed at the spot where Yu Yuan had vanished and where the Dragon Slaying Stage still stood, a sense of unease growing within.
"If it's him, then..." the Lizard pondered in a low voice.
"Could it be him?"
Xuanli, once the head of the Bloodbrawlers, had also begun to piece together the truth, his expression turning grim.
"The most cursed one is still alive!"
Xuanli swore under his breath, recalling the harrowing ordeal of being sought out by that individual and having his divine status shattered.
Yin Tiehua, after a brief respite, looked intently at Taixu, who had regained his vitality, and remarked, "With him here, neither Lin Daoke nor Loong Jie, nor President Lyi, will be able to make a move."
"He needs time," Taixu whispered.
"Rest assured, President Lyi is in the same boat."
...
Elsewhere in the Ashlands.
Grec's heart pounded as he sensed an oppressive force emanating from the origin.
This sudden, omnipresent pressure swiftly enveloped the Ashlands, leaving no corner untouched.
Confronted with this force, he felt a profound sense of humility before the creator at the Root of the Solar Meridian.
In the presence of the one who wielded such oppressive force, he couldn't help but feel insignificant. He perceived himself as much less noble and far from the superior stature of the creator.
Grec's face drained of color as he hastily severed his connection with the Root of the Solar Meridian, refusing to actively engage with it.
With a tearing sound, a slender space rift swung open like a gate, extending a silent invitation to him.
With a complex look, Grec observed the rift, gradually making out the agonized wails of two dragons within.
"Chronowyrm! Golden dragon!"
Grec's body turned rigid, his blood flow slowing to a crawl. The arcane powers of the Blood Fiend remained formless, as if awaiting permission to coalesce.
"This is all wrong; it shouldn't have become so powerful so suddenly. This is truly baffling!"
After a moment's hesitation, Grec, gripped by fear, chose to step through the fissure.
He found himself suddenly on the battlefield. He saw the Seven-Colored Dragon, its flesh torn open, and in Loong Jie's eyes, he witnessed the soul's lament. The Secular Bird Queen was there too, along with three Yu Yuans!
His eyes were naturally drawn to the Yu Yuan Solar Spirit, whose presence made his blood quiver.
And thus, he also beheld the immense violet-gold eyes of the creature.
"The Titan Spinosaurus' offspring!" Grec internally exclaimed. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the young beast's dragon's breath growing wildly erratic, as if its emotions were being battered by tumultuous waves.
Then, Grec realized that it wasn't the young beast that had extended the invitation for him to witness this scene!
The pure-blooded heir of the Old Titan, destined to be the new master of the Ashlands, was not the one!
"Leave a drop of the Chaos Serpent's lifeblood," Yu Yuan instructed the Secular Bird Queen, having landed on the Seven-Colored Dragon's brow and now retracting his hands.
Chen Qinghuang, compliant this time, nodded and hummed in agreement. She extracted a drop of impure blood from beneath her clothes and placed it in a jade green porcelain vial before tossing it to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan caught the vial and explained, "I made a promise to Taixu."
"She is unable to take form through her own strength. In the Star River of the Heavens, perhaps only you have the power to transform her lifeblood back into a Chaos Serpent."
Chen Qinghuang's brows furrowed slightly as she pondered, then added, "The Poison Cosmic Order she wields—if I assimilate it, even if she were to grow anew, she would only secure the second or possibly the third rank in the Poison Way of Heaven. It's even conceivable that Yu Zhu might surpass her."
Yu Yuan nodded. "I'm not concerned with whether she can recover, nor the extent of her potential achievements."
"Understood," Chen Qinghuang replied, a sense of relief washing over her. She recognized that even if her arch-nemesis, Asa, were to awaken, she could no longer pose a threat.
Yu Yuan's intentions were clear; he sought to provide Taixu with an explanation, not to harness the power of the Chaos Serpent or to enlist a formidable ally for Boulderdawn.
"It was I who summoned you here," Yu Yuan, his presence reminiscent of a descending crystal, kept an eye on the young beast while addressing the Great Demon God Grec, "What are your thoughts? If you desire true freedom and wish to escape millennia of servitude to the Root of the Solar Meridian, I am your optimal choice."
"Perhaps, even the only choice!"
