C2021 The Everlands Began to Sail

The Everlands had become a massive fireball.

Destructive flames surged like a flood, obliterating nations and turning the deep sea into an endless mist of fire, extinguishing all fish and shrimp in an instant.

Cultivators at the Unbound and Divine Level, unable to endure such extreme heat, were compelled to withdraw.

Only the Most High human primordial spirits and the extraterrestrial Demon Gods dared remain in the Everlands, as the surface flames were still within their threshold of endurance.

The blazing fire deep within the earth had yet to unleash its full fury, allowing those at the Most High level to counter the surface flames with their own formidable powers.

"Taiyin, our Everlands are indeed capable of movement," declared Han Miaoyuan of the Ebon Star, clad in the Banner of Duality as if donning a garment, following what seemed to be a direct command from the Will of the Deep.

Without further ado, he lifted his arms to the sky and bellowed, "Everlands, set sail!"

Boom!

A violent tremor emanated from the earth's depths, echoing the roar of the blazing fire.

The Everlands, a realm under the watchful eyes of many, began to traverse the void following that seismic call.

"The Everlands are on the move!"

"It's as if it's alive!"

"This world, driven by the core's blazing fire, is now navigating through the starry sky!"

Countless voices cried out in astonishment.

A collective epiphany struck as it dawned on everyone that the fiery jets and water spewing from the ground, the solar nuclei, and the towering flames were all the propulsive might of the blazing fire!

The blazing fire, akin to a fiery heart and the most restless source of energy, had set the Everlands in motion.

In the distant reaches of the Star River, the Everlands, having existed for eons, seemed weary of its eternal immobility and the familiar Astral Domain.

It embarked on a grand voyage!

The shifting of the Everlands through the cosmos necessitated the full ignition of the blazing fire to release its power, submerging the world in flames.

Thus, before its departure, all human realms, the oceans, the flora and fauna, and the forests were reduced to ashes.

The Everlands needed to be forged anew from the ruins and ashes of its destruction. The cultivators stationed on the moon, the two cosmic giant beasts from the Stellar Oblivion, and the Most High from the Starborn, akin to a cultivator from the Otherkin, were all startled by the Everlands' sudden activity. It was unprecedented to witness a highly civilized world like the Everlands roaring into the void, spurred by the activation of the blazing fire.

"Where is it headed?" Kaiya, standing within the Soulforge Pool, felt a sense of foreboding as flames erupted from numerous fissures in the ground. Sensing the stirrings of the Everlands, this formidable extraterrestrial expert, accompanied by the Demon Gods Reid and Youqian, wore an expression of astonishment. The activity of the Everlands surpassed her expectations, instilling a sense of unease.

"Yuan Lianyao, who left first through the Domain Channel, provides a clear directional beacon. A fragment of spiritual wisdom from the blazing fire is using her as a vessel to explore the Ashlands, charting a course through this gray expanse," Han Miaoyuan said with a hearty laugh.

"Aren't you all intent on crafting a brand-new Everlands within the Ashlands? It will bring the current Everlands into the heart of the Ashlands, where the cosmic energy of the Origin Realm is most potent, allowing the old Everlands to be reborn!"

"The cosmic energy in this region, where it has resided for countless years, is too sparse. It has long desired to depart and select a new home. Ask yourselves, is there any place in this world better suited for it to take root than the Ashlands?"

"Without the destruction of the old, the new cannot emerge!"

"Once it manifests in the Ashlands, it will supplant the cosmic order established by the Titan Spinosaurus, take the place of the Tyria Main Planet, and may even consume it! A new human realm, far surpassing the current population and with many times more Most Highs, will be born within the Ashlands!"

"All the endeavors and schemes of the Boulderdawn in the Ashlands will be wholly embraced by it!" Han Miaoyuan disclosed the intent behind the Everlands' movements.

"Ashlands!" The cultivators and powerhouses encircling the Everlands were awestruck by the vision Han Miaoyuan painted. They had never imagined that the will of the Everlands sought to claim the Ashlands for itself! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A more ferocious flame energy erupted from the depths of the Everlands, and as it shifted, countless fire meteors from the Star River beyond converged on the Everlands.

At the heart of the Everlands, the blazing fire functioned like a colossal furnace, engulfing all nearby flame energies.

This force propelled the Everlands, making them roar and accelerate ever faster.

The presence of the blazing fire caused the numerous Fire Stars scattered across the Origin Realm to contribute their violent energies, as if leveraged by its immense power.

The blazing fire gathered the celestial fire sources, refining them into the core of the Everlands, enabling it to traverse the expanse of the Infinite Galaxy.

"Hmm?"

Individuals like Qin Luo, Zu Ann, Lin Daoke, and Lu Hongpeng, who possessed an inner source of power, were not troubled by the Everlands' rising temperatures.

This origin served as a protective amulet, allowing them to remain unharmed within the inferno.

Anyone endowed with this source could navigate the apocalyptic flames with ease, unfazed by their ferocity.

In contrast, the God-Kings who had not merged with their original source resorted to deploying magical artifacts and forging shields of light to endure the Everlands' intensifying heat.

Before long, God-Kings such as Tianqi and Xuanli were compelled to flee the Everlands, the most incendiary region, retreating into the extraterrestrial void.

They were the first to succumb to the heat.

Yu Yuan, sensing the impending danger, realized that staying in the Everlands would drain everyone's Divine Power. He commanded, "Let's evacuate now!"

Those from the Stellar Oblivion, like Taishi, Ann Ziqing, Grec, and Kaiya, swiftly extracted themselves from the fiery maelstrom.

Consequently, the God-Kings of Boulderdawn could only gaze upon the blazing orb from the extraterrestrial starry sky.

They observed Han Miaoyuan, who, like a helmsman, steadily grew larger amidst the flames, laughing with abandon.

At this moment, the Everlands had become the most scorching realm in existence. Any living creature, even a tenth-level Dark Deity, would be reduced to cinders if they dared to plunge into its fiery depths.

Kaiya would have to forsake her physical form, while Youqian and Reid might only survive the intense heat by delving deep with their devil souls. Yet the awakened Primal Soul, guarded by the blazing fire, could restrict all other souls. Bereft of their corporeal strength, what could Kaiya and her companions possibly wield against the likes of Lin Daoke, Han Miaoyuan, Jihui, and the numerous Most Highs in the Everlands? Their odds of victory were nonexistent.

Thus, when Han Miaoyuan revealed his intent to journey to the Ashlands, a sense of helplessness washed over everyone. Yuan Lianyao, who had ventured to the Ashlands ahead of the others, was imbued with a fragment of the Blazing Fire's spiritual sense, enabling a connection with the core's blazing fire. Yuan Lianyao served as the navigational beacon for the Everlands.

Beneath the Everlands, the Blazing Fire voraciously consumed all flames in its path, accelerating ever faster and beginning to demonstrate the ability to traverse the void over short distances. Jihui, the God-King adept in space magic, harnessed the combined insights of the Will of the Deep and the Blazing Fire to forge formidable space magic. With Jihui's presence and his casting at full strength, the Everlands seemed to sprout wings, soaring even more swiftly.

"It's aiming for the Ashlands," Taishi realized after emerging from the bronze coffin that had soared out of the Everlands. Observing the fiery orb wrapped in flames and the enlarging figure of Han Miaoyuan, he remarked, "It's correct—the cosmic energy within the Ashlands is the densest in the Origin Realm, far surpassing any other location."

"It might even have the potential to transform the Ashlands into a new Abyss!" Taishi's concern deepened as he frantically pondered a solution. Hindered by the Everlands' Blazing Fire, they couldn't approach the inferno that raged around them. Even if they were to descend desperately, they would face Han Miaoyuan, Lin Daoke, Jihui, and many other Most Highs, unaffected by the severe conditions due to their origins. Engaging in battle within the Everlands, their chances of triumph were minuscule, clearly an irrational course of action.

Since he couldn't interact with the Everlands or deal a significant blow to the Blazing Fire, there was no way to halt the Everlands' advance.

"I'll relay a message to the Sky Fiend in the Ashlands."

Kaiya, grasping the crux of the matter without hesitation, declared, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, the spiritual sense of the Blazing Fire is currently inhabiting Yuan Lianyao, a fact we're all aware of. Therefore, our only option is to ensure Yuan Lianyao's demise."

Yu Yuan was taken aback.

"You've mentioned that beings like the Blazing Fire and the Primal Soul, extraordinary as they are, need an appropriate vessel to manifest. The Blazing Fire needs Yuan Lianyao, and the individual below requires Cao Jiaze."

Kaiya organized her thoughts and continued, "We've just missed our chance with Cao Jiaze; it's too late to target him now. But Yuan Lianyao is right here in the Ashlands, with the Blazing Fire's spiritual sense within her. That spiritual sense gives the Everlands a target!"

"First, we sever its target!"

She acted immediately.

Deep within the Ashlands, a ninth-level Demon God watched as Zhong Chichen employed the Book of Time to enact a Chronospatial Lock on Yuan Lianyao.

A burst of dark fire erupted from the hollow chest cavity of the skeleton the Demon God had refined.

With the emergence of the dark fire, a phantom of Kaiya materialized. She pinpointed the Phoenix Ashes, the Uxthar Tree above, and the Secular Bird Queen who had returned from the Stellar Oblivion.

"Secular Bird Queen, I implore you to join forces with Mr. Zhong to execute this woman."

"Her presence gives the Everlands' Blazing Fire a beacon. Driven by the Blazing Fire, the Everlands are converging on the Ashlands, and we currently lack a method to intercept it. Our only recourse is to eliminate her."

Kaiya's devil soul was also gradually solidifying, receiving the infusion of her Soul Power.

"Don't hold this against me."
