Consciousness

Yun Xi's consciousness was immersed in this wondrous feeling. She seemed to see the birth and destruction of countless stars, and the flow and reversal of the river of time. Every moment contained endless possibilities, and this glimmer of Eternal Opportunity was the key to unlocking those infinite possibilities.

Guided by the Eternal Opportunity, Yun Xi's consciousness gradually entered an unprecedented realm. Her soul seemed to break free from the constraints of her physical body, floating in a vast and boundless universe.

She felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and power, as if she could control time and space at will. With a gentle wave of her hand, a star burst forth with dazzling light at her fingertips, then transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the depths of the universe.

"Is this the power of eternity?" Yun Xi was filled with shock and awe. She knew that although this power was immense, it was also fraught with unknowns and dangers. She had to use it cautiously, or it might trigger unpredictable consequences.

Just then, her consciousness was suddenly pulled back to reality. She found herself standing before Zi Yuan's heart, clutching the dazzling heart tightly in her hand. Her body and soul had undergone a tremendous transformation, as if she had been reborn.

Yun Xi gazed quietly at the Purple Abyss Heart in her hand; its dazzling light was still radiant, like an inextinguishable star.

However, she could clearly feel that the vast power originally contained in this heart—the former domain lord's profound understanding of the Destiny Rules, and that unspeakable Eternal Opportunity —had been completely integrated into the depths of her soul.

Her consciousness seemed to be pulled into a completely new realm, and countless fragments about destiny appeared in her mind.

The fragments shimmered like stars, each carrying the former domain lord's insights and wisdom about destiny. She saw how the trajectory of destiny was woven, how countless beings struggled and made choices in the torrent of destiny, and she also saw the unpredictable nature of destiny itself.

"So... this is the true meaning of destiny." Yun Xi murmured softly, a hint of enlightenment flashing in her eyes.

She felt her connection to fate growing stronger, as if she could touch the river of destiny and even glimpse fragments of the future. This power both aweed and unsettled her.

At the same time, that glimmer of Eternal Opportunity gave her an unprecedented sense of peace. She could feel this power slowly awakening deep within her soul, like a seed quietly sprouting, waiting for the moment it would break through the soil.

"Eternity..." Yun Xi murmured the two words, a sense of awe and reverence welling up in her heart. She knew that this opportunity was the most precious gift left to her by the former domain lord, and also the most important reliance on her future path.

She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the new life force within her. Her soul seemed to be enveloped in a layer of warm light, a light that represented eternal power, both gentle and strong, seemingly capable of resisting all external attacks.

"Senior, I will not let you down." Yun Xi said silently in her heart.

She could sense that the former domain lord's will still exist in Zi Yuan's heart. Although his power had been devoured by her, that heart still carried his expectations for the Purple Abyss Divine Realm.

She gently stroked the Purple Abyss Heart, feeling its faint yet firm beating. This heart had already fulfilled its mission, but it remained the link between her and the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, and also her last connection with the former domain lord.

"From now on, I will use my own strength to protect this land and everything you cherish."

After all, this domain lord truly regarded her as his successor, and even the Eternal Opportunity was willingly devoured by her. This is because Yun Xi's use of the Freedom Divine Technique to perform the Devouring Divine Technique has a drawback: the one being devoured must be willing to be devoured.

As Yun Xi gently put away the Heart of the Purple Abyss, she also passed the test of the Destiny Vortex. Although she did not obtain a divine object that matched her, she had already obtained the Heart of the Purple Abyss, which was already lucky enough for her.

When she left the Destiny Vortex, there were no more spacetime turbulences that tested her strength, nor any memories that tested her character. Yun Xi returned smoothly to the place before she entered the Destiny Vortex, where the Appraisal Chief God was still waiting.

Yun Xi's figure slowly emerged from the Destiny Vortex, and the surrounding spatial turbulence seemed to automatically recede in front of her, without even causing a ripple.

Her steps were steady and firm, as if each step was a pivotal moment in her destiny, carrying an indescribable composure.

The Appraisal Chief God remained standing on the ground, his gaze fixed intently on her. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Your Highness Yun Xi, you... passed?" The voice of the Appraisal Chief God was low and slow, as if confirming something.

Yun Xi nodded, her gaze calm and firm. "Yes, I passed."

A complex look flashed in the eyes of the Appraisal Chief God. He could sense that Yun Xi possessed an indescribable power, a special kind of power that transcended ordinary spiritual energy.

"The Heart of the Purple Abyss... you obtained it?" The voice of the Appraisal Chief God carried a hint of probing.

Yun Xi did not answer directly, but simply nodded.

The Appraisal Chief God's pupils contracted slightly, then a relieved smile appeared on his face, "As expected... It seems that the choice of that ancient supreme being was not wrong."

Yun Xi turned to look at him. "Senior, now that I have obtained the Heart of the Purple Abyss, can you answer my questions? For example, why did you deliberately lure so many gods here, and what do you want me to do with the power of the Heart of the Purple Abyss for you?"

"What did you mean when you said that you deliberately brought so many deities here to help me quickly take control of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm and gain the recognition of some unknown being?"

According to Yun Xi's understanding, the unknown existence is the Purple Crystal Mountain, but she is also very curious about what all of this is, given that the Appraisal Chief God is information.

The Appraisal Chief God's gaze flickered slightly, as if he were weighing something.

After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant, as if it came from the depths of a distant time and space. "Your Yun Xi, now that you have obtained the Heart of the Purple Abyss, I no longer need to hide anything. That unknown existence is none other than the Purple Crystal Mountain within the Purple Abyss Divine Realm."

He raised his hand, and a phantom of light and shadow appeared in his palm. Within the light and shadow emerged the outline of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, with mountains, rivers, cities, and palaces, all vividly depicted.

In Jiaozhou Prefecture of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, towering Purple Crystal Mountain rise from the ground, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
