First Source Fulfilled, Hunyuan Taishang Wuji Golden Immortal Peak, Return to the Primordial World

"Grandfather, are you in there?"

Early in the morning, Xuan Yuan Hao brought Yang Yu into the Human God Space.

The space trembled, and an old man in a green robe appeared.

He then looked at Yang Yu and nodded excitedly.

Yang Yu nodded in response as well.

"Grandfather, your grandson made a friend. Let me introduce him—his name is Yang Yu, and he just came up from a Middle World."

Xuan Yuan Hao pulled Yang Yu over and introduced him.

"He's incredible. Not long after arriving, he broke through to Daluo Golden Immortal. Breaking through was as easy for him as drinking water."

Xuan Yuan Hao was bursting with excitement, as if he were the one who had broken through.

The old man in green stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

It was all an act! They had to put on a good show before Father God.

In the Profound Spirit Great World, Yang Yu lived comfortably for several thousand years. The three gods all knew his identity, so they secretly made proper arrangements for him.

They thought Yang Yu did not know, but in truth, he knew better than anyone.

"I wonder whether the system recognizes this kind of cheating-style trial."

Yang Yu shook his head with a bitter smile.

Over the past several thousand years, Ming Wu had become increasingly obsessed with cultivation because she vaguely sensed that Yang Yu was about to leave her.

In her understanding, as long as her cultivation rose high enough, she would be able to remain by Yang Yu's side forever.

Yang Yu smiled helplessly.

This was not so bad either!

Ming Wu entered seclusion, and ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye!

At a certain moment!

The sky suddenly thundered!

A divine maiden shot into the heavens!

Ming Wu broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Compared to before, she had become even colder and more aloof.

It was as if she had awakened some extraordinary memories!

Yet her affection for Yang Yu remained unchanged.

As the trial neared completion, Yang Yu felt both anticipation and conflict.

He anticipated the feedback from the First Source's completion, but he was conflicted over whether the First Source would disappear afterward, severing all ties between him and Ming Wu forever!

"Wu'er, congratulations on your breakthrough!"

Yang Yu said as he caressed Ming Wu's cheek.

Ming Wu smiled on the surface, but inwardly, she was quietly grieving.

That feeling appeared again and continued to fill her heart.

At a certain moment,

It finally erupted!

"Brother Yu, you... do you have something you're hiding from me?"

With tears in her eyes, she raised her head and looked at Yang Yu.

Yang Yu froze for a moment, then smiled and held Ming Wu in his arms.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"

Several more tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

As completion drew near, Yang Yu explained everything to Ming Wu.

Ming Wu understood, and she was at peace!

She said to Yang Yu lovingly:

"Brother Yu, go! Pursue your own path of transcendence. Although I cannot continue walking with you, I will silently pray for you here in the Profound Spirit Great World..."

That day, strange radiance descended across the entire Profound Spirit Great World. Holy light drifted through the air, and the sound of the Great Dao filled the heavens.

A majestic, solemn voice came from the distant void!

"Fate arises and fades; when fate fades, it arises anew. The First Source is fulfilled!"

"Edict!"

That was Chi Yu's voice!

Yang Yu slowly floated into the sky, and Azure Light erupted from his entire body.

Ming Wu stared fixedly at Yang Yu with a blank expression.

"Clang!"

The Azure Light filling the sky grew denser and denser. In the end, Yang Yu disappeared within it.

A teardrop fell from the sky and landed on Ming Wu's cheek.

In the space of a breath, the tear condensed into an azure crystal.

Ming Wu placed the crystal in her palm. In the end, she smiled...

Not far away, Xuan Yuan Hao, who had just emerged from seclusion, rushed over.

When he saw Yang Yu vanish into the Azure Light, he roared!

"Ah... why? My only friend just left me like this?"

Human God appeared behind him, patted his shoulder, shook his head, and let out a sigh!

"Child, that was Father God!"

Xuan Yuan Hao froze and stared at his grandfather in shock.

Within the Three Ancestors Space of the Chaos Profound Yellow World.

Yang Yu had come directly. It was not merely the return of his consciousness.

At this moment, his face was full of confusion!

Looking at his own body seated atop the Lotus Platform of the World Creation Azure Lotus, he was completely dumbfounded!

"Wha... what the hell is going on?"

Suddenly!

His vision went black, and he collapsed unconscious.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, he was atop the Lotus Platform of the World Creation Azure Lotus.

Looking at Yang Yu's body lying on the ground before him, he shook his head and sighed!

"Alas... life is but a trial. Fate arises and fades; after fate fades comes a new cycle of arising, and another new trial. Again and again, without end."

Just as he was about to wave his hand and reclaim Yang Yu's body.

The system's voice rang out!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the First Source trial!

A massive force of origin soon filled Chi Yu's entire body.

Ding! Detected that the Host is currently fighting an enemy!

Enemy: First Source feedback

No matter how strong he is, you are stronger!

Congratulations, Host! Primordial Spirit cultivation has risen to Hunyuan Taishang Wuji Golden Immortal Peak!

Congratulations, Host! Body cultivation has risen to Hunyuan Taishang Wuji Golden Immortal late-stage!

Congratulations, Host! Assisted Creation Method has automatically comprehended the skill Great Reincarnation Law.

Congratulations, Host! Creation Law Fusion Rank integration has increased by 10% (currently 15%).

Congratulations, Host! Time Law has advanced to Fusion Rank (1%).

Congratulations, Host! Space Law has advanced to Fusion Rank (1%).

Congratulations, Host! Karma Law has advanced to Fusion Rank (1%).

Congratulations, Host...

The system's voice continued for an entire day.

The azure holy light around Chi Yu began transforming into azure-golden holy light.

Even the Great Dao Divine Wheel became increasingly solid. Upon closer inspection, another Dharma ring could be seen slowly emerging above its original foundation, carrying the power of the various Fusion Rank laws.

After his cultivation successfully advanced, Chi Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Yang Yu's body still lay on the ground before him, completely motionless.

Chi Yu thought of many things.

Then he pointed a finger, and Yang Yu transformed into a streak of Azure Light.

"One Qi Transforms into Three Thousand!"

A red-haired young man identical to Chi Yu stepped out from his body. He possessed Hunyuan Taishang Wuji Golden Immortal early-stage cultivation.

"Greetings, Original Body!"

Chi Yu nodded.

With a wave of his hand, the Azure Light transformed from Yang Yu fused with the clone.

A moment later, Yang Yu woke up!

Once again, he stared blankly at Chi Yu atop the Lotus Platform of the World Creation Azure Lotus.

"Wha... what the hell is going on?"

Chi Yu smiled faintly.

"I am you, but you are not me. Go! Fate arises and fades; when fate ends, it arises anew..."

Yang Yu froze, then clasped his fists and bowed!

"Thank you, Original Body, for fulfilling me!"

"Wait!"

A seal was driven into Yang Yu's body.

"With your current cultivation, entering that Great World may cause it to collapse. This Seat will temporarily seal part of it. Once your mortal ties with Hong have ended, return. It will unlock on its own then!"

Yang Yu felt his cultivation, originally at the Great Dao Realm, instantly fall to Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal early-stage.

Yang Yu smiled faintly, bowed to Chi Yu once more, then vanished from the Three Ancestors Space.

Chi Yu nodded as he watched Yang Yu disappear.

"Mm, good!"

The Profound Spirit Great World.

Ming Wu wore the azure crystal around her neck. She was currently staring blankly at the stars. Several hundred years had passed, yet the feelings that should have faded could never truly be forgotten.

Human God, within the distant Human God Space, shook his head and sighed.

Suddenly, the Human God Space trembled!

A red-haired young man appeared.

Human God was shocked!

"Father God?"

Fate arose...

Within the Three Ancestors Space.

Chi Yu stood up. The World Creation Azure Lotus slowly floated upward, then shrank before darting into Chi Yu's body.

He looked out at the boundless universe, filled with countless emotions.

The Profound Yellow Three Ancestors approached.

"Greetings, Father God!"

Chi Yu turned around.

"No need for formalities!"

Looking at the Profound Yellow Three Ancestors before him, who were at Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal late-stage and about to enter the Peak, Chi Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Then he pointed a finger, sending deeper insights into the laws into the Three Ancestors' minds.

"We thank Father God for bestowing the method!"

"Mm, go comprehend it!"

The Three Ancestors bowed and withdrew.

Chi Yu thought about it. The Three Ancestors' cultivation methods could currently only reach Hunyuan Taishang Wuji Golden Immortal early-stage at most. That was far from enough.

"It is time to create a Hongmeng Rank cultivation method."

He sat down cross-legged once more and activated Assisted Creation Method.

After a period of comprehension, deliberation, and creation.

Ten thousand years passed in an instant!

A great cultivation tome overflowing with the aura of the Great Dao entered the world.

Chi Yu named it—the War Ancestor Codex.

(War Ancestor Codex (Hongmeng Rank): The cultivation method has twelve levels in total. At the sixth level, one can break through Hunyuan Taishang. Upon reaching completion and comprehending laws to Fusion Rank, one can break through to Hongmeng.)

The technique was completed, and a phenomenon appeared. The entire Chaos Profound Yellow World trembled.

Chi Yu swept out his hand!

"Suppress!"

"Disperse!"

The phenomenon vanished, and the Chaos Profound Yellow World returned to normal shortly afterward.

Suddenly!

Three beams of holy light shot out from the side hall beside them.

"Boom!"

The Three Ancestors had successfully advanced to the Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal Peak.

Chi Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Once their advancement was complete, the Three Ancestors came before Yang Yu and knelt in reverence.

"Not bad. You broke through in merely ten thousand years."

"Very good!"

Then Chi Yu pointed a finger, and three beams of holy light brimming with Great Dao aura shot into the Three Ancestors' minds.

The Three Ancestors sensed them, and their eyes immediately widened.

"Hong... Hongmeng Rank!"

They were overjoyed and were about to kneel and kowtow.

"No need! Cultivate well and enter the Great Dao Realm as soon as possible. When that time comes, this Chaos Profound Yellow World will advance once more."

"Yes!"

"We shall remember this and cultivate diligently, never failing Father God."

The Three Ancestors departed once again.

Chi Yu swept out his hand, and a rain of laws descended upon the entire Chaos Profound Yellow World once more.

Then a voice of the Great Dao rang out.

"All of you, cultivate well. Once your cultivation rises, This Seat will lead you in battle across the universe and unravel Hongmeng."

All living beings knelt toward the void in reverence.

"We obey Father God's decree. We shall never fail Father God's teachings!"

"With matters here settled, it is time to return to the Primordial World!"

Chi Yu grinned, then vanished in a flash from the Three Ancestors Space.

Primordial World, Witch Clan.

A divine hall was hidden within a Special Space, seemingly isolated by a special formation.

Di Jiang, the Space Ancestral Witch, was currently comprehending the Dao of Space.

At a certain moment, his large eyes snapped open, and he instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Di Jiang appeared in a dark place ten thousand miles away.

"What the hell is this place? Why is it so dark?"

He then looked around.

Yet not a blade of grass grew here. It was exceedingly strange, and Di Jiang could not determine its cause for the moment.

He shook his head, activated the power of laws once more, and returned to the Witch Clan.

Not long after, the sounds of Zhu Rong and Gong Gong fighting reached his ears.

"My Dao of Fire is deeper than your Dao of Water."

"Hmph, my Dao of Water can break your Dao of Fire in an instant."

"Not convinced? Then let's settle it with a fight!"

The two then exchanged several hundred moves, neither gaining the upper hand.

A great deal of surrounding vegetation and buildings was destroyed, yet there was still no sign of either stopping.

Di Jiang shook his head helplessly, then flashed between the two brothers.

"Stop!"

"Heh... Big Brother, you've come out of seclusion?"

Zhu Rong stopped and looked at Di Jiang with a mischievous grin.

Di Jiang stood solemnly and glared at Zhu Rong, then glanced at Gong Gong before looking around.

"Look at yourselves. You have been at odds ever since you were born. From now on, the two of you will separate!"

"Our Witch Clan will split into two tribes. Zhu Rong, you will take charge of one, and Gong Gong will take charge of the other."

From then on, the Witch Clan began to divide into many tribes, with each Ancestral Witch controlling one.

This gave the Demon Clan an opportunity.

As the conflicts intensified, the Tribulation Qi of the Primordial World erupted once again.
