C2042 Small Details
The evil statue, forged in the Sword Prison, possessed both intelligence and a spirit. However, since it hailed from the Abyss, much like Arthurs, it chose to remain hidden.
In previous encounters with Yu Yuan, it had made exceptions, revealing a gentler aspect of itself.
Now, it knelt before Yu Yuan's ghostly form, using the stone body it had refined, in a display of devout humility.
It addressed Yu Yuan not as the Lord of Extreme Yin, nor as the Dragon Slayer, but as the great Abyss Lord.
It seemed as though it had been awaiting Yu Yuan's return for eons.
The Abyss Lord and his kin from the Abyss appeared to be eagerly anticipating Yu Yuan's awakening, ready to bestow the highest honor upon the Abyss, Origin Realm, and even the Desolate Realm with his rise.
Its veneration for Yu Yuan was even more fervent and exaggerated than that of the Extreme Intelligence.
This act of kneeling sent waves of despair through the non-human creatures.
Could it be that Yu Yuan was truly destined to succumb to the Abyss?
Boom!
Suddenly, the Space-time Gate began to tremble, scattering beams of light.
A force from within hammered against the walls of space-time, striving to break through and manifest on the Tia Main Planet.
Yu Yuan's ghostly form watched the Space-time Gate's anomaly, his eyes pooling with a deep light.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Youyu arrived at the Tia Main Planet. He observed the peculiar Space-time Gate and detected the scent of the Gray Domain, remarking, "Yu Yuan, the creator of the Gray Domain, seeks to step into its world."
"Perhaps, the one from the Dim Starfield as well," interjected Ann Ziqing.
The Blood God Cult's priestess, with her unique physique, had detected a powerful surge of blood energy within the force assaulting the Space-time Gate, energy that was the source of Yu Yuan's complete life sequence.
The soul source from the Demon Domain and the blood source from the Dim Starfield, two other enigmatic transcendent beings of this realm, had also sensed the tremors in the Gray Domain and were attempting to extend their influence.
Hamm, the Evil God from the Abyss, rose abruptly from his kneeling stance.
"Please forgive me."
A stream of green-black essence drifted over and instantly infused the stone statue, turning it a dark hue.
The material of this colossal statue underwent a radical transformation, as if it had been imbued with boundless malevolent power.
The deep sword marks that Nie Qingtian had etched into the evil statue sprang to life as they were infused with the green-black essence. They writhed like dragons and serpents, transforming into arcs of green-black lightning.
A thick green-black mist billowed from within the statue, carrying with it a wild and chaotic Abyssal aura that slowly shrouded the Space-time Gate.
The rich energy of Tia Main Planet, upon contact with the green-black cloud, was rapidly transformed.
The ground of Tia Main Planet trembled, and the dazzling barrier that encircled it became tainted, as if it were being eroded by an immense will.
In the shadows, an unseen colossal hand seemed to be manipulating and twisting the laws.
The beings of Tia Main Planet, along with those observing the celestial anomalies, suddenly came to a realization.
The source spirits had all awakened and were now clashing within the Gray Domain!
The vast expanse, long dormant and unlit by flames, began its slow approach towards Tia Main Planet.
As the vastness stirred, all eyes were once again drawn to it.
Zu Ann, Qin Luo, Han Miaoyuan, Han Qi, and other supreme humans from the vastness all converged above it.
Only Lin Daoke stood, hands empty, atop the Sword Prison that floated in the void.
Yet, the Sword Prison too followed the vastness, drawing ever closer to Tia Main Planet.
Lin Daoke, a human with a Primordial Spirit, was bound by the will of the vastness. Unable to defy it, he had no choice but to comply.
With the vastness's approach, the potent Abyssal power continued to diffuse outward.
"Cao Jiaze" had remained silent since its appearance in the Fallen Moon Forbidden Area.
Han Miaoyuan, Zu Ann, Qin Luo, and even the supremely wise could not engage in direct dialogue with it.
It communicated solely through the transmission of thoughts and consciousness, with its directives manifesting through the source.
Thus, whatever it desired of the supreme beings, they would be instantly aware.
The supreme beings, including Han Miaoyuan, had but to listen and obey without question or conjecture.
For their thoughts and desires were known to it through the source, and it was privy to all.
It stood as the nexus of the Great Dao, the wellspring of all souls.
Behind it, Han Miaoyuan, who dared to gaze upon it, gradually felt a growing sense of horror and bewilderment.
He had picked up on a subtle detail.
The Abyss Lord, residing within Cao Jiaze, possessed eyes that were utterly indifferent to everything they fell upon.
However, when its gaze met Yu Yuan's body on the Dragon Slash Platform, it appeared peculiar.
It was then that an odd sheen emerged.
This sheen seemed to be brimming with reminiscence, sorrow, fondness, as well as dissatisfaction and questioning.
Clearly, it was only in its dealings with Yu Yuan that it behaved differently; nothing else could stir it or cause a ripple.
Han Miaoyuan came to the realization that there must be significant secrets kept from him, such as the evil statue, the Abyss Evil God named Hamm, and the title of Abyss Lord he had always used for Yu Yuan.
Suddenly, Han Miaoyuan saw it, through Cao Jiaze's eyes, fix its gaze on the old lizard.
The Starry Behemoth, which had remained silent while accompanying the Chaos Roc and the spinosaurus, locked eyes with it.
A soul-piercing light emanated from it, reaching the old lizard's body as if igniting something within.
The old lizard emitted a low growl.
In an instant, the elder of the Silver Scale Clan transformed back into its primitive, colossal form, and within its heart, green-black lightning was slowly being refined.
The power of the Abyss burst forth in the old lizard's heart, making its scales seem to open like mouths.
Thus, the rich stellar abilities of the Gray Domain flowed into its body through the crevices of its scales.
The Abyss Goanna, having once been touched by the power of the Abyss and contemplated its profound truths, retained related imprints in its heart.
Once awakened, these imprints had their power amplified.
The old lizard began to absorb the energy of the Gray Domain, transforming it into the essence of the Abyss, altering its flesh, bones, and beast soul in the process.
The old lizard was evolving into a form more fitting for the Abyss.
Through this metamorphosis, the Abyss Goanna would henceforth become a being of the Abyss, true to its name.
The transformation of the old lizard had a direct impact on all members of the Silver Scale Clan. Even a Tenth Level bloodline warrior like Jessica found the vastness of the ocean incredibly appealing upon looking at it again.
It was as if the Silver Scale Clan had formed a kind of bloodline bond with the vast expanse.
Whoosh!
Yu Yiyi, from within the Evil Cauldron, suddenly stepped out from the miniature world inside, grasped the cauldron firmly, and descended upon the Tia Main Planet.
Within the cauldron, various Divine Kings from the Divine Soul Sect continued their integration with the Origin.
Yu Yiyi had ascended to the status of a Great Demon God and had acquired an Origin of her own.
Her mind was brimming with an abundance of memories. The Origin that had merged with her appeared to be dictating her every action, guiding her on what she should do.
Consequently, she made her way to the Tia Main Planet and approached the Space-time Gate.
