Gray chaotic light surged over like a tidal wave, instantly dyeing the boundary between the Unknown Void and the Myriad Realms a deathly gray-white. This power carried the ultimate meaning of "returning to chaos, reducing everything to zero." It neither devoured nor ruled, but sought to dismantle every realm, every force, and every living being into the most primitive Chaos Particles before reshaping them anew—this was the power of the Chaos Reinstaller, an extraterrestrial will more ancient than the Void Lord and the Ultimate Sovereign.
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord's expressions changed drastically at the same time. Their Power of Rule and devouring power instinctively receded, clearly filled with apprehension toward the Chaos Reinstaller. "Chaos Reinstaller, how dare you disrupt the balance of the realms!" the Ultimate Sovereign roared as black-violet Power of Rule condensed into a shield. "If the Myriad Realms are restarted, your Chaos Domain will be affected as well!"
"The balance was broken long ago by you." The Chaos Reinstaller's voice was like the roar of Chaos Beginning. A vague gray-white figure emerged within the light. "The Myriad Realms are embroiled in endless conflict, and their energy has been utterly exhausted. Only a restart can allow life to continue. As for my Chaos Domain... it was originally the nourishment for restarting the Myriad Realms."
The gray-white figure waved a hand, sending countless Chaos Runes flying toward the Myriad Realms Defense Array. Wherever the runes passed, the energy of the multicolored light curtain was forcibly dismantled into Chaos Particles. The previously repaired Realm Barriers cracked once more, and even Xuan Fu's Myriad Realms Primordial Power became sluggish—the Power of Restart was precisely the nemesis of all formed powers, capable of dissolving every law structure.
"We absolutely cannot let him restart the Myriad Realms!" Xuan Fu burned the Myriad Realms Primordial Origin. The Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman erupted with dazzling seven-colored violet-gold light, forming a Myriad Realms Guardian Array that blocked the Chaos Runes outside. "The fate of the Myriad Realm Beings should not be rewritten at another's whim!"
The Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance attacked at the same time. The Power of Life and Death and the Power of Balance merged into the Guardian Array, forming black, white, and gold patterns that reinforced the defense. The faith of all living beings erupted once more as countless beings spontaneously gathered their faith and channeled it through the array patterns into the Guardian Array, making its light shine ever brighter. But the Power of Restart was too domineering. The runes were like indestructible blades, constantly cutting through the patterns of the Guardian Array, and the light curtain gradually dimmed.
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord exchanged a glance and instantly reached an understanding. "Xuan Fu, we'll join forces for now!" The Ultimate Sovereign's Power of Rule transformed into a black-violet whip and lashed toward the Chaos Runes. "If the Myriad Realms are restarted, both of us will become Chaos Particles!" The Void Lord also activated his devouring power, forming a black vortex that sucked some of the Chaos Runes inside and temporarily curbed their spread.
Although Xuan Fu remained wary of the two, he also knew that this was not the time for internal conflict. "We can join forces, but after the battle, the agreement must be dissolved. You must not invade the Myriad Realms again!" Without the slightest hesitation, he coordinated the power of the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman with the two others' powers, forming a Tricolor Attack Wave that blasted toward the Chaos Reinstaller's gray-white figure.
The moment the attack wave collided with the gray-white figure, countless Chaos Particles were blasted apart, and the figure became slightly translucent. The Chaos Reinstaller let out a furious roar, and the Power of Restart surged violently. Countless gray-white tentacles extended from the void and coiled toward the four of them. Wherever the tentacles passed, space, energy, and laws were forcibly dismantled, and the power of all four—Xuan Fu included—suffered varying degrees of depletion.
"The Chaos Reinstaller's true body is hidden deep within the Chaos Domain. We can't reach it!" The Lord of Balance's Power of Balance showed signs of exhaustion. "His power comes from the Chaos Origin. As long as chaos remains undying, his power will be endless. To defeat him, we must find the Myriad Realms Core and use its power to reverse the restart of chaos!"
Xuan Fu's heart tightened. His Spiritual Sense followed the guidance of the Myriad Realms Origin as he investigated. The Myriad Realms Core was hidden in the deepest part of the Heart of Myriad Realms. It was a Golden Crystal condensed from the Origins of all the realms and contained the ultimate meaning of Myriad Realms Undying. But countless runes laid down by the Chaos Reinstaller surrounded the core. To reach it, they had to break through the runes' blockade.
"I'll find the Myriad Realms Core!" Xuan Fu said to the other three. "Hold back the Chaos Reinstaller for me. You must buy me time!"
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord raised no objections. Their Power of Rule and devouring power surged simultaneously as they launched a fierce attack toward the Chaos Reinstaller's figure. The Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance also gave it everything they had. The Powers of Life and Death and Balance formed a Defensive Barrier that blocked the gray-white tentacles. Xuan Fu took the opportunity to transform into a seven-colored violet-gold streak of light and flew toward the Myriad Realms Core.
The Chaos Runes around the Myriad Realms Core were exceptionally dense, forming a sturdy wall of runes. Xuan Fu did not force his way through. Instead, he activated the power of the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman and condensed it into an Origin Barrier Breaking Talisman before slashing toward the rune wall. The moment the talisman blade collided with the rune wall, countless Chaos Runes were purified, and a gap appeared in the wall. Xuan Fu seized the opportunity and slipped through the gap, finally reaching the location of the Myriad Realms Core.
The Golden Crystal at the core radiated a warm light. It was this power that sustained the existence of the Myriad Realms. But some Chaos Runes had already corroded the crystal's surface, and its golden light showed signs of dimming. Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Fu completely merged his Talisman Path Core with the Myriad Realms Core. The Golden Crystal erupted with a massive golden pillar of light that fused with Xuan Fu's Myriad Realms Primordial Power, forming a Myriad Realms Undying Talisman. Its surface was engraved with the profound meaning of "All Realms Share One Origin, Endless Life."
Just as Xuan Fu was preparing to activate the Undying Talisman and counterattack, the Chaos Core suddenly began to tremble violently. The Chaos Reinstaller's voice came through the rune wall. "Xuan Fu, do you think you can stop me just by borrowing the power of the Myriad Realms Core? Naive!" Countless Chaos Runes surged from within the core, wrapping around the Golden Crystal and attempting to completely dismantle it into Chaos Particles.
Xuan Fu's heart jolted. He had not expected the Chaos Reinstaller to have planted runes inside the Myriad Realms Core long ago. Without the slightest hesitation, he burned the origin of the Myriad Realms Primordial Core. The golden light of the Myriad Realms Undying Talisman surged, colliding with the Chaos Runes. The moment the talisman and runes clashed, countless Chaos Particles were purified. The Golden Crystal's light grew increasingly brilliant, and the corrosion of the Chaos Runes was gradually suppressed.
At the same time, the battle outside also entered its most intense phase. The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord had expended tremendous amounts of power, and both their Power of Rule and devouring power had become sluggish. The Defensive Barrier of the Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance had also developed cracks, while the gray-white tentacles had begun corroding their origins. The Chaos Reinstaller's figure grew increasingly solid, and the Power of Restart became ever more violent. The multicolored light curtain of the Myriad Realms Defense Array was on the verge of collapse.
"Xuan Fu, hurry! We can't hold on much longer!" The Lord of Balance's voice carried exhaustion, and the Power of Balance was nearly depleted.
Xuan Fu did not respond. He poured all his power into the Myriad Realms Undying Talisman. The golden talisman erupted with a massive golden talisman blade that slashed toward 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 burst from the core, piercing through the rune wall and blasting toward the Chaos Reinstaller's figure.
The Chaos Reinstaller's gray-white figure was struck by the golden pillar of light and instantly wrapped in countless golden runes. The Power of Restart rapidly receded, and the figure began to turn translucent. "No—the Myriad Realms cannot end like this!" he roared unwillingly before his figure completely dispersed, transforming into countless Chaos Particles that fled toward the Chaos Domain.
After the Chaos Reinstaller retreated, the golden light of the Myriad Realms Core enveloped the entire Myriad Realms. The previously corroded Realm Barriers rapidly repaired themselves, and the multicolored light curtain of the Myriad Realms Defense Array regained its brilliance. Xuan Fu sighed in relief and slowly descended. The seven-colored violet-gold crystal of his talisman true body rapidly repaired itself under the nourishment of the golden light.
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord looked at Xuan Fu with complicated expressions in their eyes. "As agreed, we'll dissolve the agreement." The Ultimate Sovereign's Power of Rule receded. "But the peace of the Myriad Realms will not last long. The Chaos Reinstaller will not let this go, and there are even more unknown threats beyond the realms."
The Void Lord also nodded as his devouring power faded. "The next time we meet, we may be enemies, but today, thank you for protecting the Myriad Realms." The two transformed into streaks of light and returned to their respective domains.
Xuan Fu did not pursue them. He knew that the most important thing now was to consolidate the Myriad Realms' defenses and increase its strength. Just then, his Spiritual Sense suddenly detected an extremely faint yet bizarre aura coming from the deepest part of the Chaos Domain. This aura did not come from the Chaos Reinstaller, nor from any known domain. Instead, it came from the Primordial Pure Land Beyond Chaos, carrying the ultimate rhythm of Primordial Rebirth and causing even his Myriad Realms Primordial Power to tremble.
Xuan Fu's heart tightened. He knew that the owner of this aura might be an existence even more terrifying than the Chaos Reinstaller. And this existence seemed to intend to use Chaos Particles to bring about Primordial Rebirth and replace the current Myriad Realms.
A final crisis concerning the survival of the Myriad Realms and Primordial Rebirth had already quietly descended at the edge of the Chaos Domain.
