Half a month after the Mortal Realm, Spirit Resonance Space, and Earth Core Space reached a three-way cooperation consensus, the interconnection crystal, under the continuous resonance of the three races' origins, completely unlocked the coordinates of a third friendly space—Thunder Evolution Space. According to rune analysis, this space centered on the "Thunder Evolution Origin," and its cultivators excelled at controlling the transformations of lightning. The "dynamic stability" of its origin happened to fill the three-party alliance's gap in "origin activity regulation." Moreover, Thunder Evolution Space had once directly clashed with Corrosion Space and possessed crucial tactics for resisting extraterritorial corrosion, making it vital to the soon-to-be-established Multispace Fusion Alliance.
To ensure the passage could be activated without a hitch, the three parties jointly decided to construct the Western-Origin Spatial Interconnection Array in the Mortal Realm's Origin Rift Plaza. The Earthcore Clan Chief led Stone Clan craftsmen in combining high-purity earthcore ore with the Mortal Realm's earth-vein ore to forge a "Primordial Array Foundation" capable of bearing the Western Clan's origin. The Spirit Resonance Elder and Spirit Clan cultivators embedded Spirit Charm Crystals into the array foundation's nodes, constructing an "Origin Conduction Network" to ensure the Western Clan's origin could flow smoothly. Chen Fan and Lin Xiaohu were responsible for fusing Symbiosis Core crystals with fragments of the Soul Suppressing Seal, creating the "Western-Origin Resonance Core" as the array's energy hub.
On the day of the activation ceremony, Origin Rift Plaza was filled with the Western Clan's core cultivators. Human and Demon Race cultivators from the Mortal Realm formed ranks in the east; Spirit Resonance cultivators from Spirit Resonance Space formed ranks in the south; rock-armored cultivators from Earth Core Space formed ranks in the west; while the entrance to Thunder Evolution Space's passage lay on the plaza's northern side. Holding the Western-Origin Resonance Core, Chen Fan stood at the heart of the array, the aura of his Myriad Arts Origin Realm slowly spreading from him and resonating with the origins of the three array formations.
"Fellow Daoists! Today, we shall open the passage to Thunder Evolution Space. If we can successfully forge an alliance, the Multispace Fusion Alliance will take its first shape!" Chen Fan's voice spread across the plaza through Origin Resonance. "Should any abnormal origin fluctuations arise during activation, cultivators of every race must immediately follow the predetermined plan and inject your own origin power to help stabilize the array!"
As Chen Fan embedded the Western-Origin Resonance Core into the array foundation, the Primordial Array Foundation instantly erupted with multicolored light—the chaotic golden radiance of the Mortal Realm, the spirit blue radiance of Spirit Resonance Space, the earth-vein yellow radiance of Earth Core Space, and the thunderous purple radiance corresponding to Thunder Evolution Space's coordinates. The lights intertwined above the plaza, forming a colossal Western-Origin Origin Light Wheel. At the center of the wheel, a pale-purple spatial passage slowly opened. Through it, the scene of Thunder Evolution Space could vaguely be seen: lightning interwove into a vast net, countless streams of Thunder Evolution Origin circulated through the clouds, and several cultivators clad in lightning battle armor stood gripping thunder blades, warily watching the passage.
"They're Thunder Evolution Guards from Thunder Evolution Space!" The Spirit Resonance Elder captured the others' auras through a spirit-sensing technique. "They have not shown hostility. They are merely on guard against extraterritorial threats!"
Just then, the passage suddenly shook violently, and the light of the Western-Origin Origin Light Wheel began to warp—the activity of Thunder Evolution Space's Thunder Evolution Origin far exceeded expectations. When it resonated with the three-party alliance's origins, it unexpectedly triggered an "Origin Resonance Overload." Cracks appeared across the ground on the plaza's northern side. The Primordial Array Foundation forged by the earthcore cultivators began to suffer slight damage, while the origin power conducted by the Spirit Charm Crystals also became chaotic. Some cultivators had blood spill from the corners of their mouths under the impact of the origins.
"This is bad! It's resonance overload! The frequency differences between the Western Clan's origins are greater than estimated—the light wheel cannot bear such excessive resonance energy!" Su Muxue's expression changed sharply. She immediately mobilized the Spirit Clan cultivators to adjust the conduction frequency of the Spirit Charm Crystals. "Chen Fan, quickly use the power of the Myriad Arts Origin Realm to guide the resonance, or the passage will collapse completely!"
Without hesitation, Chen Fan poured all the power of the Myriad Arts Origin Realm into the Western-Origin Resonance Core. He closed his eyes and constructed a "Western Clan Origin Frequency Map" in his consciousness—the Mortal Realm's chaotic origin as the foundation, the Spirit Resonance Origin as the conductive link, the Earthcore Origin as the stabilizing framework, and the Thunder Evolution Origin as the activity regulator. Under his guidance, the Western Clan's origins began to resonate anew according to the principle: "Chaos bears the foundation, spirit resonance threads the needle, earthcore braces the frame, thunder evolution adds the finishing touch."
Yet the activity of the Thunder Evolution Origin was simply too powerful. Even with Chen Fan guiding it, some of the excess energy still battered the array foundation. Seeing this, the Earthcore Clan Chief suddenly gave the order, "Earthcore cultivators, heed my command! Inject earth-vein origin power and activate the array foundation's Earthcore Solidification Array!" Countless streams of yellow light surged from the earthcore cultivators' bodies and merged into the Primordial Array Foundation. The damaged foundation instantly became impregnable, successfully withstanding the energy impact.
The Spirit Resonance Elder immediately reacted as well. "Spirit Resonance cultivators, activate the Spirit Charm Crystals' 'diversion mode'! Channel the excess energy into the Origin Rift and convert it into reinforcement energy for the world barrier!" Pale-blue spirit resonance power flowed through the conduction network, guiding the surplus resonance energy into the depths of the rift. The world barrier's radiance instantly became dazzling, further strengthening its defense against extraterritorial corrosion.
Just as the Western Clan joined forces to stabilize the array, the Thunder Evolution cultivators at the other end of the passage finally responded. The leading Thunder Evolution Space "Thunder Evolution Clan Chief," wielding a Thunder Evolution Battle Blade condensed from Thunder Evolution Origin, shouted toward the plaza, "I am the Thunder Evolution Clan Chief! I sense that you fellow Daoists are resisting the origin overload, and there is no trace of extraterritorial corrosion. My clan is willing to lower its guard and travel to the Mortal Realm to discuss the alliance!"
