C2358 The Speculation about the Primal Anima(2)
The Primal Anima appears to be on a similar mission. Its evolution and breakthrough can be enhanced by gathering the Cosmic Order that is naturally cultivated in different worlds.
In the Heart of the Everlands, Yu Yuan suddenly inhaled sharply and said, "The Primal Anima from the Abyss of Truth is extinct. The celestial bodies and the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth don't seem to have been naturally nurtured in the Abyss. I'm beginning to suspect that what we call the Primal Anima might have been artificially created rather than naturally occurring."
"It seems they were released to gather the Cosmic Order from the various worlds."
"It's as if the Primal Soul created humanity, allowing them to perceive the Way of Heaven and Earth related to their own Way of Heaven across the many Astral Domains of the Origin Realm."
As the big devil pondered, Yu Yuan added, "From what I've sensed at the source, the desolate Abyss of Truth doesn't show any signs of the Primal Anima naturally coalescing. The Primal Anima seems to have appeared out of nowhere, as if it suddenly took root in the Abyss."
"We need to venture to the Domain of Origin to find answers through the Spirit of Creation." The big devil, stirred by his words, replied, "If your intuition is correct, and the Primal Anima isn't a product of natural forces but was instead crafted by someone, then the Spirit of Creation must have been involved. It's highly probable that the Domain of Origin is where the Primal Anima originated!"
"Are you suggesting that the Spirit of Creation fashioned the Primal Anima and dispersed it across the myriad worlds?" Yu Yuan exclaimed in astonishment.
"Who else but the Spirit of Creation could it be?"
"So, all the Primal Animas originated from the Domain of Origin?" Yu Yuan pressed.
"We must devise a way to reach the Domain of Origin, and we must do it quickly!"
As the two conversed, the cosmos beyond the Everlands twinkled with activity.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures materialized at the Time Gate of Tyria or emerged from the numerous caverns of Eiwrone.
Among these individuals were the formidable members from Zionidall, God-King Taixu, Tianqi, Ann Ziqing, Ji Ningshuang, Xuanli, Kaiya, and Youqian.
Among the Gods' mightiest, there were figures like Qin Luo, Zu Ann, and Van Heqing. Likewise, the Otherkin boasted tenth-level powerhouses such as the Abyssal Leviathan, Starpierced, Titan Turtle, Elena, Denise, and Ballo. Following the death of the Space God Devitt and the subsequent stabilization of the Origin Realm's Void Rules, these formidable beings reconvened in the Ashlands. They had once fled in haste to evade the Abyss's Primal Soul, but now they returned in droves.
The news had spread that Yu Yuan had conquered the Everlands and expelled the Primal Soul from the Abyss, claiming the Heart of the Everlands for himself. At this moment, the focus of the Gods, Star-Spawned Terrors, cosmic giant beasts, and alien creatures of the Wasteland was singularly on Yu Yuan.
With Yu Yuan absent, the Origin Realm's elite had no choice but to seek answers in the Ashlands.
"Sect Master!" exclaimed Yue Mu, a formidable expert of the Sword Sect, as he hurried over and respectfully bowed to Lin Daoke.
Nearby, Ji Ningshuang, known as the "Stardust Blade," stood among the Boulderdawn's experts.
"He's within the Heart of the Everlands," Lin Daoke indicated, addressing Ji Ningshuang, Taixu, and the others.
"We're aware," Kaiya responded with a light chuckle, her gaze drifting towards the vast Everlands. "My father and I can communicate spiritually. I'm aware they're both inside."
Lin Daoke chose not to elaborate further.
Kaiya then remarked, "The Sword Sect is quite commendable." With Lin Daoke, whose depth of cultivation was unfathomable, Ji Ningshuang, now a Supreme Being, and the likes of Van Heqing and Yue Mu, the Sword Sect had risen as a formidable force beyond the Boulderdawn.
Should he never return, the Sword Sect was poised to secure its standing within the Origin Realm and the Wasteland.
Lin Daoke, foregoing a response to Kaiya's comment, turned to Yue Mu and inquired, "Mr. Han didn't come?"
Yue Mu paused, then shook his head somberly. "He can't come to terms with this harsh truth."
"When he discovered that the source of his soul was connected to Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, he vanished from the Genesisverse."
Han Miaoyuan, who was steadfastly devoted to the Sword Sect and had committed his life to the resurgence of the Everlands Gods, was deeply wounded in spirit by the departure of the Primal Soul.
He had orchestrated the demise of Yu Yuan, the dragon slayer, and upon Yu Yuan's awakening in this life, he relentlessly oppressed him.
Once the turmoil had subsided, the Primal Soul from the Abyss forsook this realm and marched towards a mysterious domain, shattering Han Miaoyuan's spiritual foundation.
He could not face the humiliation of apologizing to Yu Yuan in the Ashlands. It was impossible for him to bow his head and admit his wrongdoing to Yu Yuan.
"Let it be."
Lin Daoke, who was never adept at handling such situations, simply nodded and refrained from bringing up Han Miaoyuan again.
The gregarious Yue Mu proactively approached the Boulderdawn, engaging in light-hearted banter with Ji Ningshuang. Before long, he was on friendly terms with the sect's luminaries.
Taixu, upon reaching Zu Ann and Qin Luo, engaged in pleasant small talk and expressed gratitude for Zu Ann's previous assistance.
The Abyssal Leviathan, the Titan Turtle, and the Starpierced regarded the solitary Dark Phoenix in the void with a cold gaze. Despite harboring deep-seated enmity, the Abyssal Leviathan dared not act rashly.
With a sudden tear, a slender space rift emerged, revealing the Phoenix Shrine bathed in a spectrum of radiant light. Yu Zhu made her presence known at the forefront of the shrine.
"Mother."
Yu Zhu beckoned with a radiant smile.
Upon seeing Zhiya unharmed, her anxiety dissipated, and her face conveyed a mix of concern and relief.
Zhiya, despite her sullen mood, softened her gaze with warmth and affection upon seeing Yu Zhu. She asked tenderly, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Yu Zhu replied gently.
"Good, I'm relieved you're fine."
The Dark Phoenix, who had been monitoring the Heart of the Everlands and eagerly anticipating a fierce battle between the Primal Soul of the Abyss, Yu Yuan, and the Demon God, felt her spirits lift slightly with Yu Zhu's arrival.
She had recently come to the crushing realization that she was utterly overpowered by Yu Yuan, with no hope of surpassing this insurmountable peak.
Yet, witnessing her daughter swiftly approaching atop the Phoenix Shrine, she took solace in recalling her daughter's prestigious identity.
Out of the blue, she exclaimed with astonishment, "You appear to have significantly advanced in your expertise with deadly toxins."
"Hall Master," the Moonfang Tiger emerged from the hall capable of traversing the void, bowing respectfully to Zhiya before speaking, "After your departure, the Wasteland underwent a tremendous upheaval."
He recounted the events to Zhiya, explaining how a Space God from the Otherworld had shed a multicolored skin, nearly causing their demise—had it not been for Yu Yuan's timely intervention.
"Without Father... without his aid, every alien beast within the Void's Maelstrom would have been reduced to mere blood," Yu Zhu confessed, narrowly avoiding a slip of the tongue. She stole a glance towards the Heart of the Everlands, attempting to bypass the earthly barriers to locate Yu Yuan, who was in conversation with the big devil, Bertain.
"He did the right thing by saving you. I had a premonition that he would surely come to your rescue in your moment of peril," Zhiya commented, her lips curling into a smirk, as if it were the most natural outcome.
