C2171 The Mission of the Protoss

Crack! Sizzle! Whoosh!

The expanse between Hao Yun and the Tia Main Planet was a chaotic region where lightning intertwined with thunder, and storms roared with the sound of supreme Dao Law collisions. The clash of various elemental forces was a dazzling spectacle.

Regrettably, the true scene within the depths of the chaos remained unseen, as were the movements of Yu Yuan and his counterpart.

The Abyss energy from Hao Yun, the dense starry power of the Gray Domain, and the cleansed spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the Tia Main Planet were all drawn into the murky area.

The vibrations persisted, and the frightening instability slowly spread.

An aura that could shake the soul emanated from the center, unsettling the minds of supreme beings like Reid and the Intellectual One. They were clueless about the happenings inside and dared not probe further.

The gathered experts remained silent, waiting with patience.

After what seemed like an eternity.

A figure thousands of feet tall emerged from the now-settling void, moving at a leisurely pace.

He was a man with dark green skin, a tall stature, and handsome features, draped in a long black robe. His thin lips conveyed a natural ruthlessness.

He was still in the likeness of Yu Yuan.

The Evil God Temple had been successfully consecrated by him, its Evil God skeleton transformed into the bones of his demonic form. The Evil Gods of old had become the flesh of his devilish body.

Dozens of Abyss Evil Gods were dissolved, erased as if they had never existed.

The Spirit Slayer Grimes, the Shadow Evil God, and numerous Dark Demons who had eluded the Great Demon God Beilstein's extermination and survived Yu Yuan's wrath now served as nourishment for his demonic embodiment.

The Evil Gods, deemed inferior by him, faced near extinction due to his change in stance.

As he manifested once more, the onlookers, who saw no Evil Gods emerge, were filled with dread.

The Divine King of the Fallen Abyss, as wise as he was, had spent years among Evil Gods like Arthurs. He knew they had been tempted by Arthurs to relentlessly assault the Abyss Gate, eager to wreak havoc upon the Origin Realm.

Who could have imagined that the Evil Gods would meet such a tragic fate so soon after their arrival in the Origin Realm?

In a chaotic expanse of the starry sky, Yu Yuan was conspicuously absent, leaving only his solitary presence.

Was Yu Yuan alive, or had he perished?

Uncertainty plagued everyone's minds, yet no one had the courage to seek answers.

The demise of the Evil Gods, executed with his indifferent and merciless methods, had struck terror into the hearts of those in the Gray Domain. Anyone who gazed upon him was filled with dread.

"You will act on my behalf."

A fissure opened across his chest.

The gaunt Master of the Profound Sky Sect, Han Miaoyuan, emerged from the crack, bowing respectfully to Yu Yuan before turning to address the peculiar Evil God with a sardonic remark, "To think we would meet again!"

Whoosh!

Following Han Miaoyuan, the elderly guardian of the Holy Hall also stepped through the crack.

He cast a brief glance at Jie Hui.

Jie Hui's consciousness was clouded, overwhelmed by his immense divine power. His physical and soul forms condensed, transforming abruptly into a soul seal that soared into the vast expanse and descended into the earth's depths.

Having refined the Evil God Temple, he paid no mind to the thoughts of others, making his way to the stagnant "spring" that was suffused with the scent of death.

He observed the "spring" in silence, his eyes flickering with an enigmatic light.

After a short pause, his gaze shifted to another unremarkable "spring" nearby. "Thirty-six springs—are they interconnected? It's time to find out," he mused.

He plunged his hands into the inactive "spring," which had ceased its outpouring of cosmic energy.

Upon his touch, the "spring" began to rotate slowly once more, drawing power from the Gray Domain.

He nodded in approval.

Whoosh!

A conduit of energy materialized between the "spring" and the vast expanse, channeling the wild and tumultuous power from the vastness directly into the "spring."

The energy conduit, connecting to the vast expanse, shimmered with brilliant, multicolored light—the signature of his imprinted laws.

"Done."

With that, his second spiritual consciousness, inhabiting the demon body forged from the Evil God Temple, plunged into the second "spring."

The onlookers were perplexed, unable to grasp why he had departed once more. To him, those enigmatic 'fountains' seemed even more alluring, compelling him to employ two bodies in his quest for the truth within them.

"Senior Han?" Qin Luo inquired, her voice tinged with trepidation.

"He remains in the Heart of Vast Waters. The two who have left should be regarded as extensions of his soul," Han Miaoyuan explained, his gaze sweeping from Zu Ann and Qin Luo to Van Heqing and Lu Hongpeng, then over to Tan Junshan and the Tia Main Planet. His eyes settled on Shi Jing'er, Jun Chen, Duan Yisheng, and the practitioners from the Spirit Void Sect and Taiyuan Sect.

"The Protoss will claim more worlds under his guardianship. He will persist in absorbing various Source Spirits, and we will follow in his footsteps, erasing the creatures they have spawned."

"Our mission is also our supreme glory," Han Miaoyuan declared, his voice filled with awe.

...

In the Cold Domain, at the brink of the Creation Pool, Yang God Yu trembled before severing all ties with his true form. His final recollection was of witnessing a tumultuous Alien Realm through his true body, observing colossal entities and a temple colliding with him, propelled by the Heaven Opening Flare Star and its sacrificial rites.

In that instant, Yu Yuan felt innumerable arcane techniques transform into piercing rays of light, battling against the forces within him. Subsequently, he lost sight of his true body, its whereabouts unknown.

The Origin Realm is immeasurable, yet only a select few Starry Forbidden Grounds could sever the link between his true form and the Yang God. As both his physical form and the Yang God grew in strength, not even the Cold Domain or the Demon Domain could hinder their spiritual connection.

Now, however, he found himself unable to locate his own body. His expression darkened with the realization that something was amiss.

When Taishi, Tan Xiaotian, and the others were engulfed by chaos, they could discern nothing from the palm of his hand. Now, as he lowered his hand, hesitating to speak, they all sensed that an ominous event had transpired.

"What's wrong?" Jee Ningshuang asked, her concern evident.

"I've lost contact with my main body. Before he struck me with the Heaven Opening Flare Star and his devilish form, he conjured a deceptive abyss to bewilder me. As my mind reeled, he inscribed numerous powers within me, each designed to erode my strength."

Yu Yuan forced himself to remain calm and spoke with a heavy tone, "My main body is still alive; I just don't know where it has gone. In theory, as long as I am within the Origin Realm, including the seven layers of the abyss, I should be able to establish a connection with my main body."

"The world is full of mysterious places, many of which I have yet to understand. Take, for instance, the original location of the Time Book—it's one of those enigmatic places." Zhong Chichen pondered before adding, "We should find your main body as soon as possible."

At that moment, Yu Yuan felt the urgency from the Origin Blood. It compelled Yu Yuan to take the Creation Pool to the Desolate Realm posthaste. There, he would link with another Origin Blood, amassing a greater force tied to life to swiftly unravel the mysteries of flesh and blood within the Creation Pool.

The Origin Blood suspected that his true form had been seized, just like the Undead Sovereign's body had been.

The Yang God was now the last refuge for the Origin Blood.

"My father ventured into the abyss beneath the darkness, and it's uncertain whether he can overcome the seal of the Darkness Origin Spirit," Andrea expressed with concern.

The gravity of the situation deepened among the group.

Beilstein had set out to explore the true abyss, believing that Yu Yuan's true body, with its seven Soul Altars, could restrain him, forcing him to concentrate on resolving the issue with Yu Yuan first.

But Yu Yuan's true body vanished swiftly, its whereabouts unknown.

This development left one to wonder if he now had the opportunity to turn his attention to Beilstein in that darkened realm.

Beilstein's predicament appeared increasingly dire.

"I must go to the Desolate Realm!" Yu Yuan declared. "I even suspect that he has taken my true body directly there!"

"With the Dragon Slash Platform and your true body gone, if you wish to travel to the Desolate Realm, you may require my protection," Zhong Chichen offered.

"The path ahead is fraught with peril. Who knows what dangers lie in wait," Taishi lamented.

The fearsome dominion he had shown weighed heavily on all those in the Cold Domain opposing him. The Great Demon God, Beilstein, had barely broken free from the vast expanse. Yu Yuan's true body, hoping to seize the chance to rescue Barol and Brie, met its downfall in the Gray Domain.

Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and difficulty in their struggle against Him.

"Hand over the Time Book to me!"

Yu Yuan abruptly turned to Zhong Chichen, stepping onto the Creation Pool as he made his way toward the Time Book. He covertly communicated with the Origin Blood, "Your target is too large and too conspicuous. Without my protection, you'd be easily tracked in the void of the Origin Realm. You're better off staying in the Cold Domain. In this world, you and the bitter cold can hold out for some time."
