On the Chaos Battlefield, the entrance to the Heavenly Dao Origin Space had closed completely, sealing that weary will deep within the void. The Pangu True Body slowly dissolved in the final gleam of light, turning into twelve streaks that sank back into the Ancestral Witches. The Heaven-Opening Axe also split once more into three supreme treasures—the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell—which each returned toward Kunlun Mountain.
Daoist Taichu's form slowly receded at the center of the battlefield, and the Sanqing reappeared, standing shoulder to shoulder. Taiqing gazed into the slowly closing Chaos Void. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Heavenly Dao has retreated into the Origin Space. Its remaining will is weakened to the utmost, and it cannot threaten the Primordial Wilderness again anytime soon. But it has not perished completely—it still exists within the void in the form of the Origin Space, like a dormant ember in winter."
Yuqing Yuanshi's axe intent lingered for a moment at the edge of the void about to close, then slowly withdrew. "As the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation World, its foundations are connected to the world itself. As long as the Great Desolation World exists, it can slowly recover in the future. But that interval will give us enough time to accomplish a great deal."
Shangqing Lingbao's Immortal Slaying Sword Intent likewise trembled lightly in the void, confirming that no residual fluctuations of laws remained. "The Primordial Spirits of the Heavenly Dao Saints are all lodged within the Heavenly Dao Origin. Jidu, Hongjun, Haotian, Yaochi, Mituo, and Bodhi—their Primordial Spirits were not completely reduced to ash and smoke. Instead, the Heavenly Dao gathered them in before retreating into the Origin Space. Once the Heavenly Dao recovers, they can reconstruct their bodies and return."
