Primordial Origin Fire Seed, the Dao Lord Returns!
Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them immediately disappeared underground.
At the end of the earth's veins stands a bronze altar.
A faint, dark yellow flame floated above the altar—it was the original fire seed of the Primordial Origin World left behind in the Taichu!
"So that's how it is, it really is here..."
The grayish-white Daoist aura within Ye Chen trembled slightly. "The Dao Venerable foresaw the inevitability of the great calamity long ago, and thus left behind a seed of fire."
Hundun stepped forward and threw the crystal skull fragments brought back by the North Sea into the flames.
"Boom--!"
The flames surged, transforming into a curtain of light that illuminated the final scene before the collapse of the Primordial Origin World—
Taichu stood before the shattered boundary wall, and the Heaven Measuring Ruler decomposed and recombined, transforming into 36,000 Dao Seeds that were scattered into the Chaos Sea.
His figure gradually blurred into the purple aura...
"He didn't vanish," Hundun whispered. "He transformed himself into a Dao Seed, awaiting rebirth."
At that moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and terrified screams came from above the cesspool.
"They're here," the remnant soul of Six-Eared Macaque said gravely. " With the Seven Calamity Envoys forces, the barrier of Brocade City won't hold for long."
Hundun looked at Ye Chen: "Boy, it's your turn to make a choice."
"What choice?"
"Will you inherit my lineage and become the new Hundun..." Hundun pointed to the flame, "Or will you use yourself as a catalyst to reignite the Primordial Origin World?"
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I choose the third path."
He walked towards the flames, a greyish-white Daoist aura condensing in his palm. "I will make the Primordial Origin World and the Primordial Chaos... coexist."
After saying that, Ye Chen placed his hands on the Primordial Origin Fire Seed, and gray-white Daoist rhymes surged in like a tide.
In an instant—
The flames split, half dark yellow and half purple, intertwined yet not merging.
The entire earth's veins began to tremble, as if some ancient balance was being broken.
"You're insane!" Hundun's eyes widened. "The laws of the two realms are clashing; you'll be torn apart!"
Ye Chen did not answer. The blue mark and purple pattern on his forehead lit up at the same time, and gray-white Daoist energy formed armor on his body.
The Primordial Origin Fire Seed and the Primordial Purple Qi circulated within his body, gradually forming the shape of a tai chi symbol.
Above the Brocade City, the attacks of the Seven Calamity Envoys suddenly ceased. The old man of annihilation stared in astonishment towards the direction of the ley lines. "This is..."
Deep within the earth's veins, a strange change suddenly occurs.
The light emitted by the Primordial Origin World Fire Seed penetrated the earth and formed a huge vortex of black and yellow above the Brocade City.
Meanwhile—
At the end of the Chaos Sea, in the ruins of the long-collapsed Primordial Chaos World, a purple aura soared into the sky!
The two beams of light converged in the void, transforming into a golden bridge spanning the Hundun.
One end of the bridge is the phantom of the Primordial Origin World, and the other end is the ruins of the Primordial Chaos World.
"The two realms... are resonating?" Qing Li asked incredulously.
Hundun suddenly burst into laughter. "I get it! Those two old fogies, Taichu and Xuwu, were acting from the very beginning!"
He pointed to the Bronze Giant Door slowly emerging in the center of the golden bridge. "The Great Calamity is not destruction at all, but—rebirth!"
The moment the Bronze Giant Door opened, Ye Chen's body floated up.
A gray-white Daoist aura formed a Hundun vortex behind him, with Profound Yellow Qi flowing across his left half and Hongmeng Purple Light swirling around his right half.
Meanwhile, the Primordial Origin Fire Seed within the earth's veins of Brocade City transformed into Liu Guang and entered his brow.
"So, I was the real vessel..." Ye Chen looked down at his hands in disbelief.
Hundun grinned. "No, you are the 'bridge'."
The attacks of the Seven Calamity Envoys struck again, but vanished upon touching the golden bridge.
The old man of annihilation finally panicked. "Stop them! Behind the door is..."
"It's a mess that's been made by the three of us old guys."
A clear voice came from inside the door. The illusory image of the Heaven Measuring Ruler swept across the sky, Seven Calamity Envoys back a thousand miles.
Within the light screen, the figure of the Taichu Dao Venerable appeared and disappeared intermittently.
The Bronze Giant Door opened fully, revealing three figures standing side by side.
On the left, in the Taichu, a black and yellow Daoist robe fluttered without wind;
The right side was empty, and the purple aura transformed into countless stars;
In the center stood another "Hundun," still dressed in blue, but exuding an unprecedented majesty.
"Long time no see." The Hundun inside the door waved to its past self on the ground. "Thanks for your hard work..."
Hundun from Brocade City cursed, "Laozi knew it! You three old bastards conspired to swindle me!"
Ye Chen hovered above the golden bridge, his gray-white Daoist aura stabilizing the passage between the two realms.
He looked at the three Dao Lord inside the door. "So all of this was just an experiment."
Taichu smiled and said, "Let's see if new possibilities can emerge outside of predetermined fate."
Emptiness scoffed coldly. "Even so, so what..."
With the golden bridge stabilized, the phantoms of the Primordial Origin World and the Primordial Chaos World gradually solidified.
The withered Chaos Silver Branch sprouted new buds, and the Thirty-Six Heavens Palaces of the Primordial Chaos World regained their glory.
The fallen Pangu Warrior emerged from the bronze pillars, and the fallen cultivators awoke amidst a shower of light...
Qing Li's Heaven Measuring Ruler suddenly flew towards Taichu, but was bounced back halfway.
"It is yours now," the Taichu laughed. "A new era needs new principles."
The remnant soul of the Six-Eared Macaque Demon solidified completely, and grinning as he carried the staff, he said, "Dao Lord, what's next..."
"Clean up the mess." The three Hundun said in unison, then glared at each other with disgust.
As the last rays of light fell, the Bronze Giant Door slowly closed.
The voice of the Taichu echoed throughout heaven and earth, "Ye Chen, the balance between the two realms is entrusted to you."
Void snorted coldly, "Handing it over to him, did I agree to that?"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and vanished from the spot.
When the golden bridge disappeared, the beautiful city returned to peace.
The people looked around blankly, completely forgetting the strange phenomenon that had just occurred.
Meanwhile, the Primordial Origin World and the Primordial Chaos World had already been revived.
Ye Chen frowned slightly as he gazed in the direction where the nothingness had vanished.
At this moment, Hundun patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about him, he's just being stubborn. If all else fails, we two old guys are still here."
Ye Chen nodded. He knew that this balance was hard-won and would not be easily broken.
Just then, a strange movement came from the depths of the Chaos Sea. A huge sea beast broke through the surface of the sea, and its body exuded a strange aura, turning the seawater black wherever it went.
"It seems there's more of a mess than I thought." The Six-Eared Macaque Remnant Soul gripped the stick in his hand tightly.
"My disciple—!"
Taichu glanced at Six-Eared Macaque, then pointed a finger at Six-Eared Macaque, and Six-Eared Macaque's remnant soul gradually solidified.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that time while I was away."
"Master..."
Just as Six-Eared Macaque was about to speak, Taichu raised his hand to stop him.
However, at this very moment, deep within the distant primordial chaos, a pair of eyes were watching all of this...
