C2215 A Misunderstanding

Zhiya lost her mind within the confines of the seal.

She didn't receive what she had anticipated, feeling duped and as though the prize had been surreptitiously snatched away before she could grasp it.

Swoosh!

Like a streak of blood-red lightning, she darted through the layers of walls, her dangerously potent aura threatening to burst forth from her body through the Wellspring of Creation.

Mother Earth reflected briefly before reaching out and pulling the Wellspring of Creation from the void.

With a thunderous crash, the enigmatic Wellspring of Creation resettled atop the Peak of Creation, its immense earthen power clinging to it, ensuring it could no longer drift at will.

"I'm merely looking after this pool on behalf of Yu Yuan."

She explained with a sense of resignation, uncertain if Zhiya could even hear her.

Her brow furrowed as she pieced together her recent conversation with Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit in the mountain's cavernous heart. Coupled with the Dark Phoenix's frenzied behavior, Mother Earth quickly connected the dots.

The object of the Dark Phoenix's desire was the very Secrets of Life that Yu Yuan had spoken of, already stripped away by him.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Mother Earth muttered to herself, her expression darkening with irritation at Zhiya's provocation.

Whoosh!

The vast expanse of purple demon energy, stirred by Zhiya's rage, swept in from the distant Star River.

Perched above this sea of energy, the Beast God Temple and Phoenix Shrine stood imposingly.

The walls of the Beast God Temple were etched with crimson patterns, and the roars of the Beast Gods echoed from within its majestic halls.

Their roars transformed into sonic assaults, causing the Peak of Creation to creak ominously, dislodging stones in their wake.

"You're seeking your own demise!"

Mother Earth's expression chilled.

"That remains to be seen."

Yu Zhu rose gracefully into the air, positioning herself above the Phoenix Shrine. Her piercing gaze unveiled hidden depths of mystery.

One of her eyes harbored a soul sea as vast as the heavens, while the other mirrored the flowing currents of the Levi River.

The twin marvels of the Primal Soul and Primal Vitality radiated from her being and gaze, and the Phoenix Shrine, which had altered the Wasteland's Mind Magic, now fixed its focus on Mother Earth.

Now embodied in flesh and blood, Mother Earth felt her spiritual sense tremble under Yu Zhu's stare, as if it were on the verge of being drawn out from her body by the intensity of Yu Zhu's eyes.

"How peculiar," Mother Earth muttered under her breath.

With her formidable power, she summoned an endless barrage of meteorites from every direction, which howled as they circled the Peak of Creation. The Peak was once again shrouded by stars and massive stones, solidifying its status as the Wasteland's most formidable stronghold.

The meteorites whirled around the Peak of Creation, warping the very fabric of space. This tumult also anchored Mother Earth's spiritual sense securely within her form, rendering her impervious to Yu Zhu's influence.

"If you're looking for a fight, I'm more than ready to oblige. Let's see how many of your Beast Gods and your daughter will be left standing!" Mother Earth declared, her expression stern as she observed Dark Phoenix Zhiya swiftly approaching through the eleven layers of the resplendent wall.

"Hmm?" She suddenly noticed that Zhiya, trapped within the wall, seemed unable to hear her voice anymore.

Within the confines of the wall, a multitude of phenomena related to Mother Earth manifested, transforming into towering mountains and colossal stones, with stars coalescing and being manipulated by some force to encircle and block Zhiya's path.

Zhiya, who had become a streak of blood-colored lightning, was now a Bloody River due to these phenomena taking shape. The mountains, boulders, and stars moved in a unique pattern, encircling the Bloody River in the same trajectory as the celestial bodies orbiting the Peak of Creation.

The eleventh layer of the wall was governed by numerous cosmic laws, yet the one in control had chosen to employ only those pertaining to the earth.

"It is indeed you!" Yu Zhu, the Moonfang Tiger, along with the Death Viper, the black goat, and other formidable Beast Gods, realized that the earth's power was being used to snipe and intercept the power of the Hall Master.

The alignment of the array's trajectory was identical to that of the Peak of Creation, and they instantly concluded that Mother Earth was the one orchestrating these events from the shadows.

Mother Earth, feeling the weight of her predicament but unwilling to voice it, retorted with fury, "If you wish to die, then come forth."

She had acquired the profound meaning of the earth from the Abyss of Truth within the wall, naturally imprinting the cosmic order she had comprehended into it as part of the exchange.

Since her cosmic order was present within the wall, she could transform it into phenomena using the earth's essence and arrange them according to her own array.

What puzzled her was who was deliberately using her profound meaning of the earth to create these phenomena and intercept Zhiya.

The opposition had made it clear that their goal was to set him up. They wanted Yu Zhu, the Astral Tiger, and the other Dark Deity Beast Gods to besiege him.

He was displeased but chose not to explain himself, instead resolving to eliminate these thoughtless Beast Gods.

Boom!

The ground of the Peak of Creation trembled. Yu Yuan's voice, resonant as a bell, emanated from deep within the earth: "It wasn't him."

Yu Zhu and the Astral Tiger, who were on the verge of attacking, paused and regained their composure at the sound of Yu Yuan's voice.

"He has no access to the flesh and blood within the Wellspring of Creation, nor does he have control over the Wellspring itself, so he's unable to influence the eleven-layered wall."

Crack! Crack!

A tunnel leading straight into the heart of the mountain revealed itself, powered by the force of Mother Earth. A startling beam of blood-red light shot from the tunnel into the sky.

Many Beast Gods, Mother Earth, Yu Han, and the Light Spirit all turned their gaze toward this beam of blood light.

The blood light halted in front of the two holy halls, swiftly taking shape as Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit.

Yu Yuan, clad in a simple dark red robe, had an exposed physique that shimmered like blood crystal, with fine blood-colored lightning coursing through his veins as meridians.

He appeared unchanged from before.

Yet, all the Beast Gods born in the Wasteland, including the Moonfang Tiger from the Everlands and even Green Willow from the distant Book of Time, sensed the essence of their origin emanating from him.

The evilkind, alien beasts, and the source of their lineage were one and the same.

Now, their lineage had been assimilated by Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit, becoming an integral part of it.

In a way, Yu Yuan was the creator of these evilkind and alien beasts!

"Yu Yuan!"

Zhong Chichen, who had been observing from a distance, was thrilled to see Yu Yuan emerge.

The Book of Time, along with Loong Jie and Green Willow, also drew near.

"So, you've come as well."

Yu Yuan was somewhat surprised but greeted them with a nod, saying, "Well, since you're here, it's fine. Yuan Le is gone, and the Wasteland poses no further threat."

He then cast a deep look toward the undulating purple expanse above.

Within the purple sea of demon energy, a tremendously powerful life force was sinking deeper, seemingly fearful of his scrutiny and reluctant to be revealed.

Yu Yuan had never sensed such an immense and unparalleled vital energy in any cosmic giant beast, not even in the still-living Lord of Ruin, Yuan Le. The vital energy he now felt was truly terrifying.

Although he couldn't see through the Dark Phoenix's purple sea of demon energy to discern the nature of the entity within, he could sense its formidable power.

Additionally, a familiar sensation was beginning to take hold of him.

At this moment, his real body was using the Soul Altar within his soul sea in the Creitecesh to decode the Secrets of Life bequeathed by another primal blood within the Abyss, gaining insights from the miracles within each Life Seed.

Among these Life Seeds, the one with the most profound Secrets of Life was the so-called Chaos Titan.

The Chaos Titan, responsible for the destruction of the Abyss, was a life form more massive, ancient, and formidable than any cosmic giant beast. It was a weapon of doom, spawned from the primal blood of that realm.

"It's actually a juvenile Chaos Titan!"

Yu Yuan's spirit was jolted, and his expression turned grave. He was certain that the entity devouring Yuan Le and lurking within the purple sea of demon energy was an immature Chaos Titan!

This revelation left him astounded.

He couldn't fathom how Zhiya, the Dark Phoenix, had managed to create a Chaos Titan.

Nor could he grasp where Zhiya had acquired the bloodline knowledge related to the Chaos Titan.
