C2093 Snow Child
The dark gray mountain hovered on the far side of the galaxy, drawing in the stellar energies to fill its mass.
Whenever it encountered a unique star, the mountain, originating from the Desolate Realm, would absorb and refine it.
It had already assimilated eight stars along its journey, integrating them into its being.
The sentient awareness of Mother Earth influenced Sekou, leading the colossal bear to gradually accept it, using it to perceive the new secrets of the earth.
The mountain plotted a fresh course, traversing a starry sea teeming with alien beasts, avoiding its previous path.
The original route offered only a barren and void expanse, devoid of the nourishment it sought.
At the summit of the mountain, a powerful vitality was fermenting. Amidst the misty haze, a multitude of plants and alien beasts surged forth.
Yuen Bu remained motionless, yet his body emitted a series of guttural roars.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous alien beasts emerged from the stars they passed, heeding Yuen Bu's summons. They converged at the mountain's peak, seeking a fitting place to settle on the expansive, nascent land.
On its return journey, the mountain also gathered the alien beasts of the Origin Realm to transport them to the Desolate Realm.
Yuen Bu was now aware that the Devaputras were preying on the higher-tier alien beasts across the world.
Unable to linger in the Origin Realm, he couldn't take all the alien beasts with him. He focused on those he encountered along the way, guiding them to the mountain.
One day, the mountain reached a frigid Starfield.
The Stars World here was a wintry wonderland, with snowflakes drifting down.
Members of the Mondnacht Clan and a few from the Silver Scale Clan inhabited this icy stellar river.
An Evil God, ablaze with silver-white flames as if emerging from purgatory, was reaping lives in this realm.
Shaped like a serpentine, this Evil God was devoid of skin and flesh, its form composed entirely of gleaming silver bones.
Segment by segment, the bones burned with a chilling silver flame. It slithered through the void, desperately seeking sentient flesh and blood.
This being had made its way into this secluded domain through the cavernous depths of the Heaven Opening Flare Star.
"Wow!"
A sharp cry pierced the silence from beneath a frozen lake, shrouded in thick ice.
Crack!
The ice abruptly shattered, and a young man, carved from ice and as delicate as jade, burst forth from an ice hole and fled.
The Evil God, ablaze with silver-white flames, was pleasantly surprised upon seeing him emerge.
The Evil God made a beeline for the youth.
"Eh?"
Yuen Bu, initially uninterested in intervening, raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
The young man was no alien beast, yet as he soared through the void, the Frost Energy of the entire cosmos seemed to converge upon him.
He possessed an Eighth Level bloodline, but the life force pulsing within him was unlike that of any known race in the Origin Realm.
This intrigued Yuen Bu, who watched the young man intently, a flash of blood-red light in his eyes. He mused aloud, "Ah, the mark of the World Origin Blood, and that intense chill."
After a moment's thought, Yuen Bu chuckled to himself, "I see now."
With a mere thought, the smilodon and bone snake soared from the Beast Temple, heading straight for the silver-flamed Evil God.
The mountain continued its relentless roar, undeterred by this brief interlude.
Half an hour later.
The smilodon and bone snake returned, dragging the Evil God's carcass up the mountain.
Yuen Bu paid no mind to the remains of the Evil God; his attention was riveted on the young man.
The youth, with his ice crystal jade bones, had been brought before the Beast Temple by the two Beast Gods.
Once the young man stood firm, the Origin Blood within the mountain began to communicate with Yuen Bu.
Yuen Bu nodded enthusiastically, his face breaking into a broad smile as he realized he had stumbled upon a treasure.
"Young man, what is your name?" Yuen Bu inquired warmly.
"Yu Han."
The young man responded in the articulate tongue of the human race, eyeing Yuen Bu and the two Beast Gods with caution. "You are not creatures of this realm!"
"Yu Han?" Yuen Bu's mouth spread into a wide grin as he laughed. "I've deduced your heritage. You're quite unique. Within your Bloodline Imprint lies a trace of a snow bear. Deep within your heart, you've been blessed with the World Origin Blood, and the Crystal Chain within your heart is forged from the essence of extreme cold."
"Hey, running into me is your lucky day. I'll take you to the Desolate Realm."
Yuan Li's laughter grew louder with each word.
The young man, who went by Yu Han, scratched his head at Yuan Li's declaration. "The Desolate Realm? I've heard about you. You're invaders from beyond our lands!"
"I need to tell Grandpa Bear!"
The Crystal Chain around the boy's neck suddenly lit up.
"No need to bother. Your Grandpa Bear can't sense you now. You're safe in the Desolate Realm," Yuan Li said, shaking his head.
Thus, Yu Han, the snow child, lost his connection to the outside world and could no longer communicate with the Cold Domain Bear in any specific way.
"Yu Han, once you break through your bloodline's limit, the extreme cold within that star will trigger a transformation. But for now, you're in my hands, and I'll be able to have a good talk with you and it later on," Yuan Li said with a hearty laugh.
...
In the Dark Domain.
Yu Yuan stood on an icy island suspended in the void, his Soul Altar at his brow emitting a radiant light.
Crackle! Fizz!
Beams of light, branded with the laws of light, shot out from the prismatic surface at his forehead, spreading throughout the Dark Domain.
As the beams of light touched the Dark Domain, its deep-seated laws began to change, now imprinted with the essence of light.
And so, the Dark Domain was illuminated.
For countless years, the Dark Domain had been steeped in endless darkness, saturated with dense dark energy, and all laws of light had been wiped clean.
The Light Origin Spirit, which resided on the highest continent of the abyss, had never reached the Dark Domain, thus turning the once luminous Starry Forbidden Ground into its current state.
But now, Yu Yuan had arrived, his mind housing the complete mysteries of the Light Origin Spirit.
Through the enigmatic Soul Altar, he imprinted parts related to light into the foundational laws of the Dark Domain, permanently altering it.
The island he stood upon became a beacon in the Dark Domain, banishing the shadows.
With his arrival, the Dark Domain began to revert to its original state.
"Light!"
"There's a source of light!"
"Where there's a source of light, it must be Yu Yuan!"
Those who had ventured into the Dark Domain by various means, including the Starry Behemoths, caught sight of the dazzling light source and were overcome with excitement.
The Chaos Roc, ground beetle, Monolith Tortoise, along with Ann Ziqing and others, converged towards the light source within the Dark Domain.
Whoosh!
Having advanced to the Tenth Level, the Violent Bear transformed into a robust old man with flowing silver hair and a beard. He soared through the Dark Domain, using the Life Keychain within him to detect Yu Yuan's presence. He tracked Yu Yuan down and was the first to reach the light source.
Upon reaching the frigid island suspended in the void, he didn't even land before he bellowed, "I can't sense the child anymore! I witnessed him being pursued by an Evil God and then whisked away by two Beast Gods."
Yu Han, the child in question, shared a faint connection with him. The world where the child resided, along with the frost-enshrouded star, had been consecrated with his own blood. Within the Dark Domain, he could still perceive the child's movements through certain exceptionally cold stars.
Alarmed by the child's predicament, he had hurried to seek Yu Yuan's assistance.
"It's Yuen Bu."
Upon hearing his account, Yu Yuan's physical form immediately grasped the situation. The snow child, whom the Violent Bear had hidden in a secluded star to enhance his bloodline, had been spotted by the rampaging Evil Gods and subsequently taken away on Yuen Bu's command by a Beast God.
Yuen Bu, with his insight, undoubtedly understood the significance of the child.
"There's no need to panic; he'll be safe. In fact, with Yuen Bu's aid, he might even achieve breakthroughs in his bloodline within the Desolate Realm, pushing the limits of the Origin Blood Continent's Frost Energy," Yu Yuan reassured him.
The potential breakthrough of the Origin Blood Continent's Frost Energy was intrinsically linked to the corresponding flesh and blood being, which in this case, was the child known as Yu Han.
