C2341 The Response of the Origin Soul

Compared to it, the sun, moon, and stars seemed trivial, and even Creation Peak paled in comparison.

It was as if it had emerged at the dawn of creation when the cosmos was still a chaotic void—the primal source of life, the very foundation of all existence.

The four mighty Origin Spirits of this place all revered its brilliance, feeling dwarfed by its grandeur.

With a tear, innumerable streams of blood-red and dark lightning shot out toward the Starfields surrounding the Desolate Realm as it stirred its limbs.

Silent stars, once devoid of life, now had new laws of life unfurling across them. The blood-red and dark lightning, like seeds of life, scattered across worlds brimming with vitality.

In the hidden depths of mountains, forests, and lakes, new and improved species emerged, heralding a cycle of life's renewal.

It was both a destroyer and a creator of worlds.

It obliterated ancient civilizations and their inhabitants, only to forge stronger, superior forms of life and give rise to loftier civilizations and realms.

"Abyss Origin Blood!"

The four great Origin Spirits sensed its presence, spreading like an endless sea across the Starfields of the Desolate Realm. They observed as fresh laws of life were laid out, seeds of life nestled away, awaiting rebirth and blossoming, suddenly feeling as though they had lost their essence.

First came the Origin Soul, followed by its resurgence. Was the Desolate Realm on the cusp of a new beginning?

Creation Peak suddenly crackled, and numerous luminous caverns materialized from thin air, surveying the colossal entity amidst its transformation.

The lesser Origin Beasts—Taotie, Qiongqi, Taowu—these so-called "Chaos Djinns," were mere specks in its shadow.

It was the Founder of the Chaos Djinn, the progenitor of countless mighty tribes within the true Abyss.

Yu Yuan stood in awe.

He had plunged into the body of the Undead Sovereign, yet he hadn't seized this piece of vibrant flesh, nor did he feel as though he had been crafted by an Outland Devaputra.

It was as if... he was returning to himself.

In a haze, fragments of vague memories surfaced, making him feel as though he was inheriting the memories of the Abyss Origin Blood, as if his own long-lost recollections were being reawakened.

Yu Yuan gazed at the immense, multicolored figure before him with his true form, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Suddenly!

Within the dark green pupil, billions of souls, demons, and specters merged in an instant.

A grand, dark green wraith filled the pupil and gradually became one with it.

"Sigh."

It emitted a sigh tinged with regret.

Yu Yuan abruptly turned, retracting the Soul Altar into his sea of consciousness with a scoff, "I knew you were feigning weakness on purpose to bait me into entering with my true form!"

It was during his entry into the Myriad Spirit Restriction that his secrets of ice and thunder were stripped away!

Should the three Myriad Spirit Restrictions unite, they would unleash their mightiest force. Even his ten-story Soul Altar might succumb once more!

"What a shame."

The Origin Soul gently shook its head within the pupil, observing Yu Yuan's true form and the transforming five-colored flesh with its soulful guise. "I still couldn't manage to truly welcome you back."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The long-still Chaos Abyss began to churn again, twisting the violent and chaotic abyssal forces to contain the numerous springs.

"You've always had the power to forge another ghost. The Chaos Abyss and Myriad Spirit Restriction have always been within your grasp!" Yu Yuan's face turned icy.

The fact that he could instantly reform a wraith upon his plan's failure proved that he had been in control of the situation in this part of the starfield all along.

The billions of wandering souls, demons, and ghosts were merely fragments of his consciousness, ready to coalesce in a moment's notice.

With these entities, he had billions of eyes to monitor this section of the Starfield, and even the entire Desolate Realm!

He had never truly departed.

"I must resort to a different tactic."

He sighed in resignation.

The thirty-six Chaos Abysses enveloping the springs transformed into swathes of mysterious energy, vanishing into the Myriad Spirit Restriction.

He once again manipulated the Chaos Abysses he had created, opting not to continue sealing the springs or remain vigilant against foreign deities.

His actions served as proof that Yu Yuan's assessment was accurate.

"In your Soul Altar, if the ninth level Soul Platform can overpower the Blood Platform, I could still reclaim my esteemed ally..." he said, his gaze lingering on the colossal being born from the vibrant flesh. "I could have easily achieved all I desired through such a straightforward means."

"It's a pity that I wasn't successful," he said, shaking his head with a sigh. "Given the circumstances, my only option is to use the Myriad Spirit Restriction to sever your Soul Altar. It's truly regrettable that even this attempt has failed."

Yu Yuan's intuition was spot on. Had he managed to overpower the Blood Platform with the Soul Platform, he would have effortlessly usurped Yu Yuan's physical form and taken complete control of the Soul Altar, eliminating the need for further schemes.

Failing that, he intended to entice Yu Yuan into the closed Myriad Spirit Restriction to disassemble the layered platforms.

Only after the thirty-six Chaos Abysses, each encircling a spring, vanished into the Myriad Spirit Restriction did he proclaim, "The so-called Chaos Abyss is inherently linked to the Myriad Spirit Restriction, both eternally within my grasp."

With the end of his declaration, the massive soul shadow, comprised of billions of lost souls, devils, and ghosts, vanished abruptly from within the dark green pupil.

At the moment of his disappearance, Yu Yuan was struck by a sudden, chilling sensation.

He realized that the Myriad Spirit Restriction, which had shrouded the true Abyss for ages—much like the five-colored flesh once encased within the Creation Pool—had inexplicably vanished.

The Myriad Spirit Restriction that loomed over the Abyss was the mightiest and most ancient force known to Yu Yuan. It wouldn't just disappear without cause.

If the Myriad Spirit Restriction could close, its disappearance was sure to bolster the strength of another Myriad Spirit Restriction—it had assimilated into another!

Yet, the Myriad Spirit Restriction that had enveloped all the Chaos Abysses remained. Its might showed no signs of enhancement.

Moreover, the thirty-six Chaos Abysses it had absorbed vanished just as his soul shadow had.

If it wasn't this particular Myriad Spirit Restriction, then there was only one other possibility—Creation Continent.

Yu Yuan's mind raced, and he immediately realized that the old demon, along with the Oblivion God, Space God, and Death God, were likely facing peril.

"Ugh!" A sudden plea for help, filled with terror and urgency, echoed from the tenth level of the Blood Platform deep within Yu Yuan's consciousness.

Boom! A vision flashed before him.

The colossal prismatic ice crystal, symbolizing the Abyss Origin Blood and the extreme cold, was now prominently situated within the Creation Starfield.

At the heart of this Starfield, nestled within the Creation Continent born from eternal darkness, lay the Myriad Spirit Restriction.

This nascent Myriad Spirit Restriction, positioned above the shadowy cavern leading into the bowels of the Creation Continent, was also the former site of the Evil God Temple.

Suddenly, the Myriad Spirit Restriction unfurled, enveloping the entire Creation Continent in its grasp!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rings of dazzling, vibrant light continued to radiate from the Creation Continent, swiftly blanketing the entire Creation Starfield in a twinkling!

The massive prismatic ice crystal that had been drifting along the Starfield's fringe was engulfed by the Myriad Spirit Restriction, which had expanded to fill the Starfield, severing its connection with Yu Yuan's true form.

The Abyss Origin Blood, which had been reluctant to communicate with Yu Yuan's Soul Platform, fearing assimilation like its Abyss Devil kin, was now consumed by Yu Yuan's formidable Myriad Spirit Restriction.

Whoosh!

The prismatic ice crystal, streaking through the resplendent glow, was compelled to descend into the dark cavern of the Creation Continent.

Moments before, it had been an entity forged from billions of lost souls, demons, and specters within the dark green pupil of the Desolate Realm. Now, it stood in the dense depths of darkness.

It seemed as though it had been waiting for eons—thousands, tens of thousands, even millions of years.

Naturally, it bore the visage of Yu Yuan's soul.

Facing the mysterious ice crystal that remained translucent even in the darkness, it said with a smile, "I must rely on you both now."

The Origin Blood and the extreme cold of this realm were suddenly gripped by an apocalyptic terror.

Yu Yuan offered no further explanation. The towering ghostly figure in the darkness plunged toward the prismatic ice crystal.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The Myriad Spirit Restriction, like an immense, colorful cocoon, tightly ensconced the prismatic ice crystal.

Life-essence energies of flesh and blood emanated from within the prismatic ice crystal. The Crimson Prisma transformed into wondrous meridians, while the extreme cold became crystalline bones.

The vast life energy, fused with the Myriad Spirit Restriction's power, morphed into meticulously refined muscles.

The extreme cold formed crystalline bones, the world's Origin Blood became the flesh and blood meridians, and Yu Yuan's devouring spirit merged the consciousness of both into one being.

For its soul!

The fusion of two Myriad Spirit Restrictions aided in enveloping the biting cold and Abyss Origin Blood. Within the heart of the Creation Continent, it harnessed its might to perform a sacred refinement.

First came the Origin Soul from the boundless depths, followed by the Origin Soul from the Demon Region, and at last, the Abyss Origin Blood from the Dim Starfield.

In this realm, the Origin Soul, Origin Soul, and Abyss Origin Blood were unified by its formidable power.
