C2107 Creation Pool!
This eye, nestled between his brows, had become a blood-red star.
The Origin Blood Continent within the Dark Domain appeared to have been assimilated by him, transforming into another of his eyes.
Scarlet bloodlight burst forth from this third eye, a brilliance so intense that not even the deepest darkness could conceal or swallow it.
Since the Origin Blood ranked higher than darkness, it seemed capable of casting its sanguine glow amidst the shadows.
Through this enigmatic eye, Yu Yuan beheld the undulating flesh within the Creation Pool, teeming with mysteries he had yet to fathom—entities that belonged neither to the Origin Realm nor the Desolate Realm, not even to the Abyss.
They were massive orbs of blood-colored luminescence!
Compared to these, most Life Seeds from the Origin Realm, Desolate Realm, and even the Abyss were minuscule, like grains of sesame.
The Life Seeds of the Starry Behemoth were merely fingertip-sized.
Yet, the seeds embedded within the pulsating flesh were as large as fists!
Countless colossal Life Seeds filled this throbbing mass, drawing sustenance from it and using it as an arena for their brutal skirmishes.
He witnessed some Life Seeds perish within this flesh, becoming one with the contorted mass.
New Life Seeds also emerged within it.
The weaker perished, supplanted by the superior. An eternal struggle ensued, a relentless culling to select the fittest.
This was a harsh mode of evolutionary life.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Yu Yuan's heart began to race.
The ferocious battle among the enormous Life Seeds within the Creation Pool seemed to awaken a primitive savagery and instinct within him.
He even felt that he... had originated from that very mass of flesh and blood.
Suddenly, he realized that the twisted mass in the Creation Pool was, in essence, a part of him.
"You may not recall the Creation Land, but it remembers you. It has just aided you. It is an inanimate object, a desiccated husk, yet it revealed a lingering sentience because of you."
The deity inhabiting Yu Yuan's ghostly form ascended upon the Dark Divine Stage, with the entire Darkness World beneath its feet, as if it were an extension of its being.
In that moment, Yu Yuan profoundly understood that everything below the seventh layer of the Abyss was within his dominion and power.
He was the sovereign of the netherworld, the master of its laws and arcane forces. Here, he was all-powerful.
Only when he reached the same level as Yu Yuan did the Divine Stage of Darkness come to a halt.
A lifeless husk? A skeletal shell?
Yu Yuan's brows quirked, and he found himself drawn once more to gaze upon the Creation Land.
The first time he left this dark expanse, he was struck by an odd sensation—that the Creation Land was akin to the torso of a colossal being.
The towering mountain ranges resembled the spine of a great creature that harbored a profound fondness for him, reluctant to see him depart.
Yet, the Creation Land dwarfed even the Tia Main Planet in size.
By Yu Yuan's current reckoning, not even the almighty Titan Spinosaurus at its zenith could match the vastness of this entity.
He dimly recalled that in the dawn of time, the larger the being, the more powerful it was.
In the Origin Realm's earliest days, the Starry Behemoths reigned supreme in size, but their brutal predation nearly brought the realm to ruin.
To counter this, the expansive Origin Soul conjured the Devaputra, fostering Beilstein's growth, which ultimately brought the epoch of the behemoths to a close.
The resurgence of the Bright Clan, Star Race, Dark Elfkind, Banshees, and others, while aligned with the Origin Blood, manifested in far smaller forms.
If the Creation Land was indeed bone, then what was this massive entity?
Why did it remember him? And why did its lingering sentience seek to aid him?
Yu Yuan was lost in contemplation.
"We have always possessed the power of flesh and blood, as well as the seeds of life; we have never been in want. The myriad Abyss Tribe races didn't just spring from nothing," he stated with equanimity.
"This is the cradle of countless Abyss Tribe races, including your own origin."
Origin Blood gestured towards the Creation Pool and, after a brief pause for thought, clarified, "At least, the Yu Yuan who was the Abyss Lord of that era emerged from there."
With his declaration, the Creation Pool that had surfaced below released numerous tendrils of blood, each writhing with numerous Life Seeds and brimming with potent flesh and blood essence.
Whether it was the Life Seeds or the essence within, they all exuded a sense of distortion and chaos to Yu Yuan, carrying with them an unfathomable ferocity.
The immense blood energy of the Creation Pool, along with the Life Seeds, flowed into the world within the Divine Stage of Darkness.
In that realm, the dark entities that had long been shaped by His power began to merge their souls and blood energy with the Life Seeds.
Following this fusion, a complete being was brought into existence.
Yu Yuan bore witness to the birth of these beings, observing the emergence of new life within the Darkness Divine Stage—beings of flesh, blood, and soul, all crafted by His mighty force.
High above,
The face of the Darkness Origin Spirit possessing Tan Xiaotian twisted into a look of wild frenzy.
It had waited for eons. The very thing It and the Origin Soul had yearned for was finally coming to fruition today!
With the rise of the Darkness World and the presence of the dark beings, It would advance yet another step.
At that moment,
Yu Yuan, the Abyss Lord, found himself released from the darkness below, as his connection with the seven layers of the Abyss weakened, regaining his freedom.
The binding Order lightning that ensnared him silently withdrew.
He cast a glance upwards.
Above the Abyss, the fragmented lands had turned into a sky full of meteorites.
Saka, a Heavenly Demon, was refining the meteor shower, extracting the arcane essence hidden within the earth.
From the Devaputra Race, a Great Demon God was about to be born, second only to Beilstein and on par with Andrea!
As for the fleeing Light Origin Spirit...
It scoffed and departed from the seven Abyss Layers above, plummeting into the familiar Darkness World.
The entity that had taken over Tan Xiaotian paused beside the Origin Soul, bowing in gratitude.
"Thank you for your blessing."
It was devout, lifting its gaze to meet the Origin Soul's, its expression focused and earnest, "Your word is your bond, and you have never let me down. Following you is the wisest decision I've ever made."
The Origin Soul gave a nod. "It was my promise to you."
Beneath its feet, the Darkness God Stage soared towards the Darkness Origin Spirit.
As the obsidian crystal face settled into place, the Darkness Origin Spirit called forth the "Heaven of Darkness" refined by Tan Xiaotian, forming a barrier around the Darkness God Stage.
Like the outer ring of stars, a natural barrier formed, safeguarding the growth of life within.
In Yu Yuan's eyes, this Darkness Stage transformed into a dark star, evolving into a world that was nearing reality and would one day fully manifest.
He crafted an entirely new world with His own Darkness God Stage and bestowed it upon the Darkness Origin Spirit that had always been in alliance with Him and served Him faithfully.
"Do you see?" He floated in midair, casting a glance at the enormous timber. The plants and the Lightning Origin Spirits within seemed to smile obsequiously, all in response to Him.
"Yes, we see it."
"We witness it with our own eyes!"
"Your divine power knows no bounds, your arcane might is infinite, and you are our foundation and origin." The plants and Lightning Origin Spirits humbled themselves before Him.
"If you remain orderly and steadfast in your loyalty to me, you too shall receive such rewards," He declared indifferently.
The plants and Lightning Origin Spirits scrambled to affirm their allegiance. He listened with an aloof demeanor, seemingly aware of the collusion between Yu Yuan and these two Origin Spirits during His absence.
After relinquishing the Darkness God Stage, He strode over to the Creation Pool and stepped onto its edge. Following a prolonged silence, He suddenly expressed His lament: "They have all perished. Our world has been ruined, and with it, the demise of all that was nurtured within is imminent."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the boundless depths of darkness, numerous colossal entities emerged around the Creation Pool. Although not as vast as Creation Land, they were only marginally smaller. Yet, they dwarfed even the mightiest Titan spinosaurus.
These behemoths lay dormant in the deepest darkness, shrouded eternally by the void, their years of death in another world unknown. And that world, it seemed, was the true abyss.
"You and I must endeavor for the rebirth of our world," He said, turning His gaze once more to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan was suddenly struck by a piercing pain. This pain did not stem from his soul or his Soul Altar but from his very heart. His heart throbbed faintly, as if pricked by some unseen force.
