C2347 The Origin of the Three Realms

In the Wasteland, the Peak of Creation regained its former glory, towering majestically in the void.

"What should we do?"

The soulful images of the four Primal Anima shimmered on the mountain's reflective surface, gazing up at the towering figure of Yu Yuan, seeking a definitive answer.

Apart from the Tree of Life, the Light Spirit, Thunder Spirit, and Mother Earth each possessed both a soul and a body that accompanied Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit to the Otherworld. The Light Spirit had taken residence within Canli, and the Thunder Spirit had concealed itself within Qi Yunhong's form. They were managing well.

However, Mother Earth, who had ventured into the Otherworld, inhabited a rare and unique body that enabled her to wield the cosmic order without the need to possess Taishi. She treasured this body immensely and would be devastated if she were to perish in the Otherworld.

"The Otherworld, too, is home to Primal Anima."

Yu Yuan was about to suggest that when the Primal Soul waged war in the Otherworld, it might rally the collective might of many Primal Anima to stand against the formidable deity that sought to harness their power.

Suddenly, he sensed a mysterious resonance with the soul rule of the entire Wasteland.

Before the Primal Soul of the Abyss departed, the "Path of Undead" laid out by the azure-black pupil connected a wealth of intricate soul techniques to the Soulstone Pedestal within his Mindscape.

But there was more.

Through his body's Soulstone Pedestal, his distant self in the Ashlands could pinpoint the mightiest among the Gods, even influencing their thoughts and consciousness, all with the aid of those potent primordial spirits.

His departure solidified Yu Yuan as the undisputed font of soul and blood for the Origin Realm, the Abyss, and the Wasteland.

"The Primal Anima of that world might be swayed by him," Mother Earth expressed with a heavy heart. "He also mentioned he'd attend to us later. Once he acquires the Space God's power, he can return to the Origin Realm at will. Yet, we remain in the dark about the current events in the Otherworld."

"My Solar Spirit is still there," Yu Yuan reassured them. "Moreover, even my mentor, as formidable as I am, ranks only fourth in the Otherworld. I am confident there are forces there capable of constraining him, ensuring his endeavors are not met with ease."

"I hope so," the four Primal Animas sighed with a sense of helplessness.

On the Genesis Continent, the Old Demon and Harris, the God of Oblivion, were deep in conversation, completely ignoring Han Miaoyuan. Bertain never truly acknowledged Han Miaoyuan, the proclaimed leader of the Everlands. His interest was reserved for individuals like Dark Phoenix Zhiya, Lin Daoke, Tan Xiaotian, and the Moonfang Tiger—beings of immense power and boundless potential. These extraordinary warriors were the scarce resources of the Origin Realm, the very steps he sought to elevate the realm to greater heights.

"How odd. Am I sensing... Yu Yuan?" Qin Luo of the Ruby Hand, using his primordial spirit within his Mindscape, attempted to continue tracking the Primal Soul. Previously, Qin Luo's primordial spirit could faintly detect the movements of Yu Yuan, but now, he could distinctly sense him. His primordial spirit had transformed into a fiery sun, suspended in the fiery expanse of his Mindscape, radiating light and heat. The solar flares and true fire of the sun spread wildly, becoming one with his Mindscape. In the past, whenever he focused his senses, he could detect the Heart of the Everlands. Although it was indistinct and intangible, Qin Luo knew his origin pointed towards Yu Yuan. It was this knowledge that had convinced him to steadfastly follow Han Miaoyuan.

However, now, when Qin Luo tried to sense again, the presence he felt in the depths of his being had inexplicably become Yu Yuan!

He wasn't alone in this experience.

Yue Mu's primordial spirit within his Mindscape had taken the form of a mysterious, glowing river. Within this river flowed bright, ethereal strands of lightning, representing his understanding of the Way of Water and the intricate sword spells he had mastered. His primordial spirit, too, was now sensing Yu Yuan, just like Qin Luo.

Both men quickly shared their astonishing findings. Soon after, Van Heqing and Tan Junshan, both supreme in their mastery of the primordial spirit, also sensed something in the shadows. They discovered that their corresponding source had, without their awareness, shifted to Yu Yuan.

Han Miaoyuan, the leader of the Gods, sat despondently aboard the Voidfarer, clutching the reforged Banner of Duality. Lost in thought, he seemed adrift amidst the stars.

"How could this be? How did it come to this?"

Han Miaoyuan felt as though his soul had been ripped from his body. When he connected with the Primal Soul in the Abyss, he perceived Yu Yuan.

After Yu Yuan's departure, the origin of all humanity seemed to shift in an instant, transitioning from the Primal Soul to Yu Yuan.

Simultaneously.

The Abyssal Leviathan, Starpierced, and Titan Turtle, having left the Zionidall Continent, used their beastly intuition to sense their lineage, which now subtly pointed towards Yu Yuan.

Elena of the Shura, Denise of the Starborn, and Beru of the Otherkin all came to the same realization upon reflection.

This included the Sky Fiend and alien beasts!

The souls and bloodlines of all beings from the Origin Realm, Wasteland, and beyond ultimately traced back to Yu Yuan!

Following the departure of the Abyss's Primal Soul into the Otherworld, Yu Yuan abruptly became the source of blood and souls for all beings across the realms, as if he had become their creator.

Individuals like Qin Luo, Yue Mu, and Zu Ann, who already had favorable ties with Yu Yuan, quickly adapted their mindsets.

Since he was no longer present, having left this world behind, the idea of Yu Yuan stepping up as the leader of their entire race was not unfathomable.

The most tormented was Han Miaoyuan, who had loyally followed Yu Yuan for years and, under his directive, had once conspired with Zhiya against Yu Yuan.

When Han Miaoyuan shockingly discovered that Yu Yuan had become their creator, the ultimate source of their blood and souls, he found the truth utterly inconceivable.

"Take us to the Everlands."

The Demon God Bertain abruptly commanded the colorful butterfly.

The butterfly responded with a low cry, informing Bertain that with the death of its master, Devitt, the twisted Void Rules of the Origin Realm had been restored.

The elder demon nodded and, along with the God of Oblivion, Harris, and the Death God Kurkova, took the Starway, the conduit connecting the Genesis Continent and the Ashlands.

They quickly reemerged in the Ashlands.

Immediately, they witnessed streams of flame meteors and fire emanating from the Everlands.

As the blazing fire receded, the vast flames, once concentrated in the Everlands, were no longer confined, dispersing across the world.

Amidst the vast lightning and thunder in the Everlands, stirred up by the big devil and Devitt, the tumultuous energies had receded, flowing back to Dread Mount on Zionidall or into other stars within the Origin Realm.

At this moment, in the starry expanse beyond the Everlands, Dark Phoenix Zhiya and Lin Daoke emerged. Alongside them, numerous Unbound cultivators from the Sword Sect, Shi Jing'er from the Skyreach Consortium, Duan Yisheng and Liu Ying from the Starmoon Sect, as well as other prominent cultivators from Tyria, all appeared with expressions of deep complexity.

Those who had not ascended to the highest echelons of cultivation and had not crafted their own primordial spirits from their essence were still in the dark about the recent events. They were only aware that the origins of the Gods, the Evil God, and the Sky Fiend, deeply hidden within the Everlands, seemed to have been 'banished' by Yu Yuan.

"Bertain!" they exclaimed, recognizing the figure before them.

"Two deities from the Otherworld!" The gods of this realm glared at him with righteous indignation.

Lin Daoke and Zhiya, observing from outside the Everlands, scrutinized the big devil's reappearance. Their attention had been fixed on the Heart of the Everlands, having witnessed the big devil and a sea of green-black souls enveloped by the fourth All Spirits Ban vanish before their eyes. Now, they too were eager to learn the fate of the Primal Soul.

"He has taken all his possessions and embarked on a journey to the Otherworld. Moreover, he has shattered all the pathways linking the Otherworld to the Wasteland," the big devil explained to Harris and Kurkova, signaling for them to remain outside the Everlands.

He then descended alone into the depths of the Everlands, making his way toward its heart. As Yu Yuan, deep in contemplation within, sensed his approach, the torn earth began to mend itself.

The once visible Heart of the Everlands, which could be glimpsed through a fissure in the extraterrestrial star river by those of Lin Daoke and Zhiya's caliber, was now obscured as the ground sealed shut, vanishing from their sight.

"Teacher, please come inside first," Yu Yuan softly beckoned from below. The Great Demon God Bertain, without any hindrance, stepped into the Heart of the Everlands.

"It truly is the heart of the Titan Spinosaurus! I never imagined that after the ancient Spinosaurus perished, it would be repurposed into a hiding place. Unfortunately, before its demise, many bloodline rules managed to escape. He failed to acquire the life sequence carried by the ancient Spinosaurus, so he still depends on you."

The old demon, having truly entered the Heart of the Everlands, was filled with a sense of nostalgia, sensing that the death of his old adversary had altered many things.

With just one glance at the Heart of the Everlands, which Yu Yuan had reforged after shattering it, he understood all of its wonders.

"He may seem gone, but he can return at any moment. After slaying Devitt, he became the foremost expert in space magic across all the major worlds. For him, these worlds have become mirrors through which he can freely pass."

"When he makes his return, he will undoubtedly be far more formidable than before his departure."

The old demon was clearly plagued by a throbbing headache.

Having intentionally returned from the Otherworld and meticulously laid his plans, he failed to eliminate the one who had consumed the Primal Soul of the Everlands, inadvertently creating an even greater danger.

Now, he finds himself trapped in this realm, unable to return to the thirty-six worlds of the Otherworld.

Meanwhile, the Primal Soul of the Abyss can traverse the major worlds at will, wielding its power to afflict the Otherworld.

"Teacher, you mentioned that your power in the Otherworld is only ranked fourth. Are there any among the top three who have the ability to suppress him?" Yu Yuan inquired suddenly.

Bertain paused, pondering the question carefully before replying, "They might suppress him, but after he seized Devitt's space magic, it would not be easy for them to eliminate him. My fear is that once he reaches the Otherworld, he could rapidly increase his power and sway the alliance formed by the Primal Anima."

"In that case, it would become difficult for the other three to handle him."

Yu Yuan pressed on, "Who are these three? Are they Primal Gods or Primal Animas like him?"

The old demon responded, "There are both Primal Gods and Primal Animas."
