Gray chaotic light surged like a tide, instantly dyeing the boundary between the unknown void and the Myriad Realms a dead, ashen white. This power carried the ultimate profound meaning of "returning to chaos, all returning to zero." It neither devoured nor ruled, but sought to dismantle all realms, all powers, and all living beings into the most primitive chaotic particles, and then reshape them—this was the power of the "Chaos Reinstaller," an extraterrestrial will older than the Void Lord and the Ultimate Sovereign.
The expressions of the Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord changed drastically. Their powers of dominion and devouring were instinctively withdrawn, clearly showing apprehension towards the Chaos Reinstaller. "Chaos Reinstaller, how dare you break the balance of the realms!" the Ultimate Sovereign roared, his black and purple dominion power condensing into a shield. "If the Myriad Realms restart, your Chaos Domain will also be affected!"
"The balance was broken long ago by you," the Chaos Reinstaller's voice boomed like the roar of primordial chaos. A blurred, ashen white figure appeared within the light. "The Myriad Realms are in constant conflict, their energy depleted by internal strife. Only a restart can prolong their vitality. As for my Chaos Domain... it is merely nourishment for the restart of the Myriad Realms."
The ashen white figure waved its hand, and countless Chaos Runes flew towards the Myriad Realms Defense Array. Wherever the runes passed, the energy of the seven-colored light screen was forcibly dismantled into chaotic particles. The previously repaired realm barriers cracked again, and even the Mystic Talisman's Myriad Realms Primordial Power became sluggish—the Chaos Reinstallation power was the nemesis of all formed powers, capable of disintegrating all law structures.
"We absolutely cannot let him restart the Myriad Realms!" The Mystic Talisman burned its Myriad Realms Primordial Origin, and the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman erupted with a brilliant seven-colored purplish-gold light, forming a "Myriad Realms Guardian Array" that blocked the Chaos Runes. "The fate of the beings in the Myriad Realms should not be rewritten by others at will!"
The Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance struck simultaneously, their Power of Life and Death and Power of Balance merging into the Guardian Array, forming black, white, and gold patterns to reinforce the defense. The belief power of All Spirits also erupted again, countless beings spontaneously condensing their beliefs and injecting them into the Guardian Array along the array patterns, making the light even more brilliant. However, the Chaos Reinstallation power was too overbearing. The runes were like indestructible blades, constantly cutting at the array patterns of the Guardian Array, and the light of the screen gradually dimmed.
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord exchanged a glance, instantly reaching a tacit understanding. "Mystic Talisman, let us join forces for now!" The Ultimate Sovereign's dominion power transformed into a black and purple whip, lashing towards the Chaos Runes. "If the Myriad Realms restart, both you and I will turn into chaotic particles!" The Void Lord also activated his devouring power, forming a black vortex that sucked in some of the Chaos Runes, temporarily halting the runes' spread.
Although the Mystic Talisman was wary of the two, he knew it was not the time for infighting. "We can join forces, but the agreement must be dissolved after the battle, and you must not invade the Myriad Realms again!" Without any hesitation, the power of the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman and the powers of the two combined, forming a three-colored attack wave that boomed towards the ashen white figure of the Chaos Reinstaller.
The moment the attack wave collided with the ashen white figure, countless chaotic particles were scattered, and the figure became slightly ethereal. The Chaos Reinstaller let out a roar, its Chaos Reinstallation power surged, and countless ashen white tentacles extended from the void, coiling towards the four of them. Wherever the tentacles passed, space, energy, and laws were forcibly dismantled, and the powers of the Mystic Talisman and the other three suffered varying degrees of depletion.
"The Chaos Reinstaller's true form is hidden deep within the Chaos Domain, and we cannot reach it!" The Lord of Balance's Power of Balance showed signs of exhaustion. "Its power originates from the Chaos Origin. As long as chaos exists, it will be inexhaustible. To defeat it, we must find the 'Myriad Realms Core' and use its power to reverse the Chaos Reinstallation!"
The Mystic Talisman's heart tightened. His Spiritual Sense probed along the guidance of the Myriad Realms Origin. The Myriad Realms Core was hidden in the deepest part of the Heart of Myriad Realms, a golden crystal formed from the condensed origins of all realms, containing the ultimate profound meaning of "Myriad Realms Undying." However, the core was surrounded by countless runes laid by the Chaos Reinstaller. To reach the core, one had to break through the rune blockade.
"I will go find the Myriad Realms Core!" The Mystic Talisman said to the other three. "You three must hold off the Chaos Reinstaller and buy me time!"
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord had no objections. Their dominion power and devouring power surged simultaneously, launching a fierce attack towards the Chaos Reinstaller's figure. The Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance also cooperated fully, their Power of Life and Death and Power of Balance forming a defensive barrier, blocking the attack of the ashen white tentacles. The Mystic Talisman seized the opportunity, transforming into a seven-colored purplish-gold stream of light, flying towards the direction of the Myriad Realms Core.
The Chaos Runes around the Myriad Realms Core were extremely dense, forming a solid rune wall. The Mystic Talisman did not engage in a head-on confrontation. He activated the power of the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman, condensing it into an "Origin Barrier Breaking Talisman," and slashed it towards the rune wall. The moment the Talisman Blade collided with the rune wall, countless Chaos Runes were purified, and a gap appeared in the rune wall. The Mystic Talisman seized the opportunity, drilling through the gap into the rune wall, finally reaching the location of the Myriad Realms Core.
The golden crystal at the core emitted a warm glow; it was this power that sustained the existence of the Myriad Realms. However, the surface of the crystal had been partially eroded by Chaos Runes, and the golden light showed signs of dimming. Without hesitation, the Mystic Talisman completely merged his own Talisman Path core with the Myriad Realms Core. The golden crystal erupted with a massive golden pillar of light, which merged with the Mystic Talisman's Myriad Realms Primordial Power, forming a "Myriad Realms Undying Talisman," inscribed with the profound meaning of "Myriad Realms share the same origin, perpetual life and unending cycles."
Just as the Mystic Talisman was about to activate the Undying Talisman to counterattack, the Chaos Core suddenly trembled violently. The Chaos Reinstaller's voice came through the rune wall: "Mystic Talisman, you think you can stop me by relying on the Myriad Realms Core? Naive!" Countless Chaos Runes surged out from within the core, enveloping the golden crystal, attempting to completely dismantle it into chaotic particles.
The Mystic Talisman was shocked. He hadn't expected the Chaos Reinstaller to have already planted runes inside the Myriad Realms Core. Without hesitation, he burned the origin of his Myriad Realms Primordial Core. The golden light of the Myriad Realms Undying Talisman surged, clashing with the Chaos Runes. The moment the Talisman and the runes collided, countless chaotic particles were purified, the golden crystal's light became increasingly brilliant, and the erosion of the Chaos Runes was gradually contained.
At the same time, the battle outside had entered a white-hot stage. The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord's powers were severely depleted; their dominion and devouring powers had become sluggish. The defensive barrier of the Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance also showed cracks, and the ashen white tentacles had begun to erode their origins. The Chaos Reinstaller's figure became more solid, its Chaos Reinstallation power grew more violent, and the seven-colored light screen of the Myriad Realms Defense Array was on the verge of collapse.
"Mystic Talisman, hurry! We can't hold on much longer!" The Lord of Balance's voice was filled with exhaustion; his Power of Balance was almost depleted.
The Mystic Talisman did not respond, pouring all his power into the Myriad Realms Undying Talisman. The golden talisman erupted with a massive golden Talisman Blade, slashing towards the core of the Chaos Runes. The moment the Talisman Blade collided with the rune core, countless Chaos Runes were completely purified, the golden light of the Myriad Realms Core surged, and a massive golden pillar of light erupted from the core, piercing through the rune wall and booming towards the Chaos Reinstaller's figure.
The Chaos Reinstaller's ashen white figure was struck by the golden pillar of light, instantly enveloped by countless golden runes. Its Chaos Reinstallation power rapidly receded, and its figure began to fade. "No—! The Myriad Realms should not be like this!" it let out a roar of unwillingness, its figure completely dissipating, turning into countless chaotic particles, fleeing towards the Chaos Domain.
After the Chaos Reinstaller retreated, the golden light of the Myriad Realms Core enveloped the entire Myriad Realms. The previously eroded realm barriers rapidly repaired themselves, and the seven-colored light screen of the Myriad Realms Defense Array also regained its brilliance. The Mystic Talisman breathed a sigh of relief, his figure slowly descending. The seven-colored purplish-gold crystal of his talisman body rapidly repaired itself under the nourishment of the golden light.
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord looked at the Mystic Talisman, their eyes filled with complex emotions. "As agreed, we dissolve the alliance." The Ultimate Sovereign's dominion power retracted. "But the peace of the Myriad Realms will not last long. The Chaos Reinstaller will not give up, and there are more unknown threats beyond the realms."
The Void Lord also nodded, his devouring power receding. "The next time we meet, we may be enemies, but today, thank you for saving the Myriad Realms." The two transformed into streams of light and returned to their respective domains.
The Mystic Talisman did not pursue. He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to consolidate the defenses of the Myriad Realms and enhance their strength. Just then, his Spiritual Sense suddenly detected an extremely faint but exceptionally strange aura emanating from the deepest part of the Chaos Domain. This aura did not come from the Chaos Reinstaller, nor from any known realm. Instead, it came from the "Primordial Pure Land Beyond Chaos," carrying the ultimate rhythm of "Primordial Rebirth," causing even his Myriad Realms Primordial Power to tremble.
The Mystic Talisman's heart tightened. He knew that the owner of this aura might be an even more terrifying existence than the Chaos Reinstaller. And this being's purpose seemed to be to use chaotic particles to achieve Primordial Rebirth, replacing the current Myriad Realms.
An ultimate crisis concerning the survival of the Myriad Realms and the Primordial Rebirth had quietly descended upon the edge of the Chaos Domain.
