The aura of the Primordial Pure Land, like the dawn breaking through the morning, pierced through the dust of the Chaos Domain and slowly spread. This power carried a gentle rhythm of "vibrant life, all things renewed," which was completely different from the dead silence of the Chaos Reinstaller. Yet, it also carried the deterrence of rewriting the fate of the Myriad Realms—it wasn't about destroying the existing Myriad Realms, but about using the Primordial Origin as a foundation to reshape entirely new "Primordial Myriad Realms," forcing all existing orders to make way for new life.

The Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman of the Mystic Talisman resonated violently, and subtle Primordial patterns appeared within the seven-colored purple-gold light. He could clearly feel that the purity of this aura far surpassed the Myriad Daos Origin, being the energy of "the beginning of all things," yet it also carried an undeniable exclusivity—once Primordial Rebirth occurred, the spirits and laws of the existing Myriad Realms would either be integrated into the Primordial Chaos or naturally eliminated by the power of rebirth.

"It's the 'Primordial Lord'," the Primordial Ancestor's golden figure appeared in the Myriad Realms Core, his eyes filled with complex weariness. "He is a remnant will from the Primordial Chaos era, who witnessed the birth and succession of the Myriad Daos. He has been living in seclusion in the Primordial Pure Land, waiting for an opportunity to be reborn. The defeat of the Chaos Reinstaller presented him with that chance."

The figure of the Lord of Balance also emerged, and the Power of Balance constructed a buffer barrier at the edge of the Myriad Realms. "The Primordial Lord's power is gentle yet overbearing. His rebirth is not destruction, but it is harder to resist than destruction—no one can refuse the true Life Origin. However, the spirits of the Myriad Realms have their own choices and should not be forcibly integrated into the Primordial Chaos."

The Mystic Talisman's Spiritual Sense gazed towards the edge of the Chaos Domain, where Chaos particles were being gradually transformed into gentle Primordial Spiritual Qi by the Primordial aura. A hazy green light curtain was slowly unfolding, marking the entrance to the Primordial Pure Land. Within the light curtain, countless illusory figures of newly born spiritual plants swayed, exuding an intoxicating vitality. Many spirits of the Myriad Realms already showed longing in their eyes, and their belief began to waver.

"Primordial Lord, the spirits of the Myriad Realms each have their own path. Why must you forcibly bring about rebirth?" The Mystic Talisman's voice echoed throughout the Myriad Realms and the Chaos Domain. The Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman erupted with a clarifying rune, stabilizing the spirits' beliefs. "If the Primordial Chaos is truly the source of life, then it should respect the choices of the Myriad Realms, rather than acting exclusively in the name of rebirth!"

A gentle yet firm voice came from within the green light curtain: "Little friend Mystic Talisman, the Myriad Realms have endured countless tribulations, and their Origin has long been depleted. Only by integrating into the Primordial Chaos can true eternal life be attained. I am not forcibly intervening, merely offering a better way out." The light curtain slowly opened, and a figure clad in green Daoist robes stepped out, surrounded by Primordial Spiritual Qi. It was the Primordial Lord. His aura was as gentle as jade, yet it made all the laws of the Myriad Realms submit.

The Primordial Lord waved his hand, and countless Primordial Spiritual Qi transformed into green light points, flying towards the spirits of the Myriad Realms. Wherever the light points passed, the spirits' injuries quickly healed, and their Origin was nourished. Many Great Dao Worlds, on the verge of depletion, also began to regain their vitality. However, the Mystic Talisman keenly sensed that these green light points contained subtle Primordial imprints. Once integrated too deeply, the spirits' wills would gradually lean towards the Primordial Chaos, ultimately losing their right to choose.

"This is not a choice, but a subtle assimilation!" The Mystic Talisman activated the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman, forming an isolating barrier to block the spread of the green light points. "True vitality should be the autonomous recovery of the Myriad Realms, not becoming vassals of the Primordial Chaos!"

The Primordial Lord's expression slightly darkened, and the fluctuations of Primordial Spiritual Qi became violent. "Stubborn and ignorant. The depletion of the Myriad Realms Origin is a fact. Forcibly maintaining it will only accelerate destruction. Since you refuse to cooperate, I can only forcibly open the path of rebirth." He waved his hand, and the green light curtain surged. Illusory figures of countless Primordial spiritual plants transformed into sharp vines, coiling towards the Myriad Realms Defense Array. Wherever the vines passed, Chaos particles were rapidly converted, and the seven-colored light curtain of the Myriad Realms Defense Array began to show signs of green erosion.

"If you want to assimilate the Myriad Realms, you'll have to get past me first!" The Mystic Talisman stood shoulder to shoulder with the Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance. The Myriad Realms Primordial, Life and Death, and Balance powers merged, forming a three-colored attack wave that slashed towards the Primordial vines. The moment the attack wave collided with the vines, countless vines were severed, and the Primordial Spiritual Qi began to dissipate rapidly. However, new vines soon surged from the green light curtain, ceaselessly.

The Primordial Lord's power far surpassed all previous enemies. His Primordial Spiritual Qi could nourish all things, transform into the sharpest weapons, and subtly assimilate wills, making it difficult to truly resist with full strength. The beliefs of the Myriad Realms spirits began to waver again, and many began to question the meaning of resistance, believing that integrating into the Primordial Chaos might indeed be a better option.

"Everyone, wake up!" The Mystic Talisman burned a portion of the Myriad Realms Primordial Origin, and a massive pillar of belief rose from the Myriad Realms Core. "The depletion that comes from autonomous choice is still better than eternal assimilation! The future of the Myriad Realms should be created by ourselves, not by living under someone else's roof!"

The light of the belief pillar instantly cleared the spirits' minds. The longing in their eyes was replaced by determination, and their belief power erupted once more, pouring into the Myriad Realms Defense Array without end. The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord also reappeared. They exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously—though they had their own ambitions, they were unwilling to become vassals of the Primordial Chaos. Their Dominion and Devour powers transformed into two blades, slashing towards the Primordial vines, easing the pressure on the Myriad Realms Defense Array.

The Mystic Talisman did not refuse their help. He knew that unity at this moment was the only way out. "Primordial Lord, if you insist on this, do not blame us for joining forces to counterattack!" He activated the power of the Myriad Realms Core, merging with the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman to form a "Myriad Realms Self-Regeneration Talisman." The surface of the talisman was inscribed with the autonomous beliefs of the Myriad Realms spirits, and it flew towards the Primordial Lord.

This talisman was not an attack, but a demonstration of the Myriad Realms' potential for autonomous recovery. Wherever the talisman flew, the Origin power of the Myriad Realms began to flow rapidly. The depleted Great Dao Worlds, nourished by the power of belief, gradually exuded their own vitality. Though weak, it was full of autonomy, forming a stark contrast with the Primordial Rebirth power.

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Primordial Lord's eyes, and the fluctuations of Primordial Spiritual Qi gradually slowed. "I didn't expect the autonomous belief of the Myriad Realms to be able to nurture such vitality." He waved his hand, and the Primordial vines stopped attacking. The green light curtain also began to shrink. "I can give the Myriad Realms a chance. Within a thousand years, if you can achieve true autonomous recovery through your own strength, I will abandon the rebirth plan; if after a thousand years your Origin is still depleted, you will have to unconditionally integrate into the Primordial Chaos."

The Mystic Talisman felt a sense of relief, knowing this was the best outcome for now. "Good! I accept on behalf of the Myriad Realms!" He cupped his hands in a salute to the Primordial Lord. "Within a thousand years, we will definitely achieve autonomous recovery and prove the potential of the Myriad Realms."

The Primordial Lord nodded, and the green light curtain transformed into a Primordial Token, flying towards the Mystic Talisman. "This is the Primordial Token. It can monitor the state of the Myriad Realms Origin at any time and can provide a trace of Primordial Spiritual Qi support in critical moments. When the thousand-year deadline arrives, I will return." With that, his figure slowly retreated into the green light curtain, which gradually shrank and disappeared at the edge of the Chaos Domain.

After the Primordial Lord left, the Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord also departed separately. Before leaving, they issued a warning: if the Myriad Realms failed to recover in a thousand years, they would still come to seize control of the Myriad Realms. The Mystic Talisman held the Primordial Token, his heart filled with pressure and determination. A thousand years seemed long, but achieving autonomous recovery for the depleted Myriad Realms was extremely difficult.

"Thousand-year deadline, we must race against time!" The Mystic Talisman embedded the Primordial Token into the Myriad Realms Core. "Void Ancestor, please use the Power of Life and Death to catalyze the circulation of the Myriad Realms Origin; Lord of Balance, please stabilize the Myriad Realms laws to prevent imbalance; Daoist Yang Mei, Dong Hua, and others, lead the strong of the Myriad Realms to clear hidden dangers within the Myriad Realms and repair damaged Great Dao Worlds; the All Spirits will focus on cultivation, condense their beliefs, and jointly nourish the Myriad Realms Origin!"

Everyone immediately complied, and the Myriad Realms entered a phase of comprehensive recovery. The Power of Life and Death circulated within the Myriad Realms Core, catalyzing the regeneration of the Origin. The Power of Balance stabilized the laws and order, preventing new crises. The strong of the Myriad Realms went everywhere to clear residual Chaos particles and Primordial imprints, repairing damaged worlds. The All Spirits condensed their beliefs, jointly nourishing the Myriad Realms Origin.

Just as the Myriad Realms' recovery was proceeding in an orderly fashion, the Mystic Talisman's Spiritual Sense suddenly detected a very faint anomaly from within the Primordial Token. This anomaly did not come from the Primordial Lord, nor was it an internal problem of the Myriad Realms. It originated from the "Forbidden Land" deep within the Primordial Pure Land, where a "Deadly Primordial Chaos" power, completely different from the Primordial life force, existed. It carried a strange rhythm of "Backlash Rebirth," causing even the gentle aura of the Primordial Token to falter slightly.

The Mystic Talisman's heart grew serious. He knew that behind this Deadly Primordial Chaos power might lie a secret the Primordial Lord was unwilling to mention. And the existence of this power might become a key factor affecting the thousand-year deadline, possibly even turning the Primordial Rebirth plan into a greater crisis.

An ultimate adventure, concerning the autonomous recovery of the Myriad Realms and the secret of the Primordial Forbidden Land, had quietly begun on the edge of the Primordial Pure Land.
