C2225 Are You Sure You Want to Go?(2)
Chen Qinghuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Yu Yuan cleared his throat and swiftly changed the subject. "I'll explain to you later about the individual who assisted you in ascending to the rank of an Utmost Being and the state they're currently in."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Many floating meteors within the Creitecesh, under the control of a mysterious force, began congregating in the Star River and then started to whirl wildly.
The enormous meteors coalesced into a deep-sea vortex, generating a bizarre, outward-pulling suction.
With a mere thought, Yu Yuan's Soul Altar suddenly descended into his sea of consciousness.
Boom!
Shortly thereafter, the majestic Peak of Creation shattered the infinite void's boundary and materialized from another Astral Domain.
The Peak of Creation, initially the stronghold of the Primal Blood and Earth Spirit, was designed from its inception to be seamlessly connected with the entire Wasteland's Astral Domain.
Mother Earth, the guardian of the Peak of Creation, had just tapped into the power deep within the mountain to establish a resonance with the Creitecesh.
"I have something to say!"
Mother Earth's towering figure made an immediate appearance atop the Peak of Creation.
Her gaze first settled not on Yu Yuan or Chen Qinghuang, but on Yuan Lianyao, who had ascended to the status of an eleventh-level supreme being. After a brief glance, she exhaled in relief.
"No, she has not been overtaken by the blazing fire!"
The Star of Light shone anew, and the Light Spirit within it conveyed her message.
Yu Yuan watched as it chattered away, "The Wellspring of Creation was seized by that entity. A fiery meteor shot forth, attempting to usurp the supreme being they had created..."
The Fire Spirit was eager to inform Yu Yuan of the upheaval at the Wellspring of Creation.
"There's no need for a detailed account; I'm already aware of everything," Yu Yuan interjected, cutting him off.
"You know? Do you mean to say that you and the Solar Spirit, even while ensnared within the seal, still maintain a connection?"
Mother Earth was astounded.
When the consciousness of the Abyss's Primal Soul manifested, Bertain, the Dark Phoenix, Lin Daoke, and Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit were instantly engulfed. She had witnessed everything with crystal clarity.
At that moment, she had attempted to reach out to Yu Yuan, only to discover that her consciousness was unable to breach the seal.
Unable to reach Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit and with the other three also imprisoned, he felt he had no one else to rely on, prompting his rushed journey to the Creitecesh.
"Hmm."
Yu Yuan nodded, casting a glance at the Peak of Creation as it neared the Spring of Death. "Stop. This spring, leading to an unknown destination, should not be where you pin your hopes."
Mother Earth remained still, yet the massive Peak of Creation abruptly halted.
"Did you hear my conversation with him before I left?" Mother Earth inquired once more.
Before Yu Yuan could respond, she continued, "The Abyss is no more. Apart from the Frostlands, his power is seeping into and eroding the rest of the starry heavens. Bertain, as well as your Solar Spirit, are at risk of being overtaken by him, and this world could succumb."
Mother Earth's morale was flagging, her expression somber as if envisioning the three realms under the dominion of that ruler, herself reduced to servitude.
"As long as I am here, the concerns you harbor will not come to pass." Yu Yuan reassured her with a smile.
Whoosh!
His real body reached the Spring of Death, positioning itself to block the spring's entrance.
"Now that you're here, let's discuss what kind of entity might exist on the other side of the spring." As he spoke, the powerhouses of the Creitecesh turned their attention to him.
The Spring of Death exuded a mysterious aura. Mother Earth had learned from the Untamed that similar springs existed in the Ashlands, yet their origins and nature remained a mystery.
Chen Qinghuang, responsible for the spring's manifestation, had been in a state of mental disarray at the time. Now lucid, she found herself at a loss as to how she had received the guidance necessary to reveal the spring.
The entity from the mysterious Otherworld, who had provided her with the Wraith Tree seed and aided her ascent to eleventh level supremacy, did not appear to be a pure Primal Anima. It seemed instead to be a sentient being with a physical form like hers.
"I suspect that the beings from the world on the other side have long since mastered the art of refining Primal Anima," Yu Yuan declared.
At these words, both Mother Earth and the Light Spirit involuntarily felt a shiver of fear.
In the Origin Realm, the Abyss, and the Wasteland, your Primal Anima have always been esteemed as divine beings, revered by us as gods. As the Lord of the Abyss, I was the sole entity who could confront the source and stand as its equal.
Bertain, Yuan Le, and the former Titan Spinosaurus, along with other supremes who have emerged, lacked even the qualifications to contend with the Primal Anima!
The spiritual sense, rule, and energy are unified within the Primal Anima, which can effortlessly possess and shape its chosen inheritors.
This is the reality of our three worlds.
After a brief pause, Yu Yuan added, "It wasn't until recently, when I refined the Primal Blood of the Wasteland at the Peak of Creation, that I made a groundbreaking breakthrough. By assimilating the Primal Blood compatible with my own attributes into my body, I shattered the existing paradigm. I might just be the first precedent in our three worlds."
"Yet, in another world, other intelligent species have long since accomplished this feat!"
His gaze settled on Chen Qinghuang.
"In that other world, a Primal Anima born from the law of mortality was consumed and refined by the creature it had shaped! The one who granted you the profound meaning of death, who elevated you to supremacy and spread the seeds of the Wraith Tree across the Wasteland, was such an entity!"
"This individual must have known how to refine the Primal Anima long before now."
"The one detail that eludes me is just how many such beings exist in their world."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Yuan turned his attention back to Mother Earth and the Light Spirit, asking, "Now, do you still wish to flee there, to escape his wrath?"
"No! I would rather perish in the Wasteland or anywhere else than seek refuge there!"
The Light Spirit cried out in protest.
Mother Earth remained silent.
In the Abyss, the Wasteland, and the Origin Realm, beings like the Primal Anima are akin to deities, wielding immense power and authority. Their adversary is none other than the Primal Soul of the Abyss.
The Primal Soul of the Abyss, Mother Earth, and the Light Spirit are, after all, of the same kin.
Yet elsewhere, a Primal Anima like them might be nothing more than prey.
Once it and the Light Spirit entered, there was a significant chance they would be pursued by beings attuned to the powers of the earth and light. They might even be assimilated into these beings' bodies!
There was already one known successful case of someone refining a Death Spiritweaver.
Who knows how many unknown cases there might be?
"Arthurs, the body of the Undead Sovereign that he possessed, as well as the body of the Evil Temple that he consecrated, have both entered that world."
"He has at least two spiritual senses that have gone ahead with those bodies. Whether they are alive or dead remains unknown."
"Do you really want to go there?"
Yu Yuan asked earnestly.
After a moment, Mother Earth sighed, "Never mind."
