C2373 The Helpless Little Primal Beast

In the depths of the endless void, Yu Yuan's real body, the Great Demon God Bertain, was detailing the enigmatic connections between the Origin Realm, the Abyss, the Wasteland, the Genesis Nebula, and the Domain of Origin. Meanwhile, his Solar Spirit Body was in the midst of questioning Stephanie, the God of Destiny.

"This little Primal Beast came into existence because of me."

Above Stephanie's golden mask, a pair of radiant golden eyes shimmered with divine light.

She stood on the oversized head of the Primal Beast, holding an amethyst wand in one hand and draped in a golden cape that seemed to bear the imprint of numerous cosmic orders of the Primal Anima.

She had not entered the Book of Time, nor had she approached Heesters.

The diminutive Primal Beast, intentionally reduced in size, was now floating above the stars once steered by the venerable Space God Paxton, keeping a certain distance from the others.

"Do you have any further questions?"

After smiling in acknowledgment, the God of Destiny nodded gently, indicating that Yu Yuan could proceed with his inquiries.

Heesters, who had intended to welcome her and await her guidance, was filled with doubt when the Book of Time came to a halt.

He could sense that there was something undisclosed between Yu Yuan and Stephanie.

"The Soul Sacrifice technique, responsible for the widespread creation of so-called Primal Gods and Primal Beasts, proliferated because of you. Apart from the Domain of Origin, deities from over thirty worlds have ascended to Primal Gods through the Soul Sacrifice technique you provided," Yu Yuan stated sharply, his gaze piercing. "Yet, this technique of Soul Sacrifice evidently has its flaws."

At his words, Taishi, Youyu, Qi Yunhong, and the others from the Wasteland all nodded in agreement.

As a fellow Spiritweaver, why was Yu Yuan's eleventh-level Solar Spirit Body unharmed after refining the Primal Blood of the Wasteland at the Peak of Creation?

Why didn't the Primal Blood of the Wasteland revive after Yu Yuan reached the Domain of Origin and delved into the Genesis Nebula?

Without exception, the gods from the Otherworld, once awakened, either fled or possessed the deities!

"A flaw?" Stephanie chuckled dismissively.

She chose not to answer Yu Yuan's question directly. Instead, she prodded the head of the little Primal Beast with her amethyst wand.

The beast let out a piteous wail.

The little Primal Beast emitted a deep growl, and the tattered purple sea, resembling a torn purple cloth, suddenly burst forth from the star where Paxton was located. With its head previously bowed, the creature now lifted its head high in response to its own roar. The beast's crimson, bloodthirsty eyes were now swirling with chaotic fury, making it hard to discern any glimmer of intelligence.

Yu Yuan's brow furrowed in concern. His Solar Spirit Body, infused with the Secrets of Life from three realms, granted him an acute insight into beings of great flesh and blood power. He instantly recognized a stark difference in the little Primal Beast before and after its venture into the Genesis Nebula.

Firstly, the creature was in a state of uncontrolled frenzy. Secondly, the little Primal Beast, once subdued under the foot of Stephanie, the God of Destiny, was now resisting her, instinctively trying to distance itself from the deity. Yet, the beast was also fearful, hesitant to truly break away from Stephanie, resulting in its bizarre behavior.

"Something's not right," Yu Yuan thought, sensing trouble.

Before entering the Genesis Nebula, the little Primal Beast had shown great affection towards Stephanie, akin to the love for a family member—a sincere bond. Now, only awe and fear remained.

What had transpired during Stephanie's long journey with the little Primal Beast through the Genesis Nebula?

Yu Yuan reached out with a subtle message through the blood connection he shared with the beast: "What happened to you two in the Genesis Nebula?"

"Save, save me..." a faint plea for help echoed from the depths of the little Primal Beast's heart.

Upon hearing the cry, Stephanie, the God of Destiny, detected the disturbance. A cold glint flashed in her golden eyes as she spoke icily, "Such a disobedient little creature."

As she maneuvered the Primal Beast away from the star riddled with spatial rifts and towards Yu Yuan and Heesters, Stephanie suddenly thrust the sharp end of her amethyst wand into the creature's skull.

Crack!

The little Primal Beast's skull was pierced by her wand, blood gushing forth. Her eyes devoid of warmth, Stephanie relentlessly jabbed the wand again and again. Amidst the beast's pitiful howls and roars, its skull was left riddled with bloody holes.

The scene left Heesters and Taishi dumbfounded, and Youyu, Qi Yunhong, and the others didn't know how to react.

The human and the beast had been fine before entering the Genesis Nebula. The small Primal Beast had shown clear trust and affection towards Stephanie.

Since meeting the little Primal Beast, Stephanie, the God of Destiny, had showered it with affection and care.

Throughout their journey, Stephanie had paused several times to let the little Primal Beast collect various rare treasures from the Star River, aiding its rapid growth.

What could have possibly happened between them?

Aoao! Wuwaaa!

The little Primal Beast's pitiful screams were unmistakable; even those who couldn't understand the language of beasts knew it was pleading for Stephanie's mercy.

From its cries, Yu Yuan understood the message the small Primal Beast was desperate to convey: "It won't dare anymore. It won't dare to seek Yu Yuan's help or secretly communicate with him ever again."

"Oh!"

In the remote depths of the void, where it had just quieted down, Zhiya, the Dark Phoenix, suddenly clutched her head and screamed upon hearing Yu Yuan's real body describe the connections between the Three Realms, the Domain of Origin, and the Genesis Nebula.

Blood trickled from Zhiya's nose and ears.

She frantically clutched at her waterfall of soft purple hair, tangling it in her grasp.

"My little Primal Beast, linked to my bloodline! It's in this Land of Nothingness, so very far from me. It's in..."

Zhiya's screams were incoherent.

No longer mindful of others, she released the Phoenix Shrine, ready to follow the bond with the little Primal Beast and rush to its rescue as swiftly as possible.

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Above the walls of the Phoenix Shrine, the space magic she had extracted from the Chronowyrm, Jihui, and Voidweaver transformed into a tapestry of iridescent patterns, casting an entrancing glow.

She intended to use the teleportation power of the Phoenix Shrine to instantly reach the little Primal Beast and rescue it with her own lifeblood.

Regrettably, despite the Phoenix Shrine's tremors, it remained immobile in the Land of Nothingness.

In the boundless void, devoid of suns, moons, stars, divine force, or any cosmic order, attempting to perform spatial teleportation within this depth of nothingness was futile.

"It's under their control. What could you possibly do if you went there?"

Yu Yuan, aware of the situation, shot a stern look at the nearly hysterical Zhiya and said coldly, "Moreover, you're incapable of teleporting there in the first place."

"Who is it? Who has inflicted such harm?" Zhiya, with her hair in disarray, cried out fiercely.

"It was the Spirit of Fate who bestowed upon you a portion of the life sequence, enabling you to nurture the God of Destiny, Stephanie. No, wait!" Yu Yuan had a sudden epiphany, "It's not the God of Destiny, Stephanie, but... the Spirit of Fate! Upon entering the Genesis Nebula, the power of the Primal Anima within Stephanie surged, and the Spirit of Fate has since usurped her!"

"What?"

"Master Stephanie has been overtaken by the Primal Anima she cultivated."

Harris and Kurkova were in disbelief at what they had heard, unable to fathom that such an event could occur.

Stephanie, the supreme deity in their eyes, the sovereign of all gods!

How could this illustrious woman, who led the people of the Otherworld out of bondage by the Primal Anima, be overtaken by the very Primal Anima she had refined? How could she fall into the Domain of Origin?

They were reluctant to accept that this could happen.

"Yu Yuan, are you certain that Stephanie has been taken over by the Spirit of Fate?" the elder demon inquired, visibly alarmed.

Lin Daoke, Chen Qinghuang, and Ji Ningshuang were equally stunned by the revelation, all looking to him with anticipation.

"I am certain."

Yu Yuan inhaled deeply and continued, "While you continue to support the Peak of Creation, I will go there in my real body to assess the situation."

With a swift gesture, he reached out and the Dragon Slaying Stage materialized in his palm. He gestured to Bertain and the rest to proceed to the Wellspring of Creation.

"I'm coming with you!"

The disheveled Dark Phoenix Zhiya, her attire in disarray, descended abruptly from the sky and positioned herself on the Dragon Slaying Stage.

"I will rip her apart, whether she's the God of Destiny or the Spirit of Fate!"
