Inside Pangu's golden Guardian Shield, the energy was astonishingly stable. The Chaos Turbulence and Spatial Rifts outside seemed cut off by an invisible barrier, and even the energy tremors before World Creation had weakened considerably. Lin Yue fused the energy of his Space Vitality Domain with that of the Guardian Shield. The domain's pale green glow intertwined with the golden shield, forming a double layer of protection. Even he could feel that the defense was now strong enough to withstand a full-power strike from a high-ranking Demon God.
He didn't waste time. He continued studying Spirit Wood Daoist's insights into the Law of Life. The technique of Symbiotic Vitality was more sophisticated than he had imagined—it could connect not only plants and microorganisms, but also the vitality of other living beings in an emergency, provided they were willing, creating a brief state of Life Sharing. He tried to establish a connection with Kong Yu, who didn't resist. A pale green strand of energy extended from Kong Yu into the domain, further strengthening its defenses. Lin Yue could even briefly borrow Kong Yu's Spatial Perception, expanding his range of awareness to two hundred zhang.
This technique is so useful! Lin Yue marveled inwardly, even more grateful that he had saved Spirit Wood Daoist. If not for that chance encounter, he would never have mastered such an important technique of the laws.
As he immersed himself in his studies, he suddenly sensed a faint glow forming outside the golden Guardian Shield. It was even more subtle than the shield, like the morning mist, and nearly impossible to notice without looking closely. Wherever the glow reached, the once-raging Chaos Turbulence parted on its own, and even the Spatial Rifts grew much more stable.
Lin Yue's thoughts stirred, and he looked toward Pangu. Senior Pangu had his eyes closed and his hands forming a seal, clearly laying down the layer of light in secret. Lin Yue understood at once: this was extra protection Pangu had added for him. Worried that the impact of World Creation might exceed the Guardian Shield's limits, he had used the Law of Heaven Opening to condense this "Glimmering Barrier," further weakening the impact.
Senior is so thoughtful! Lin Yue's heart filled with gratitude. From their first meeting in the chaos until now, Senior had always protected him quietly in the little details—from Chaos Qi Condensation to the Spiritual Root Fragment, from the Lightning Protection Bead to the Guardian Shield, and now the Glimmering Barrier. Each time, he had resolved Lin Yue's predicament precisely, yet never took credit for it and rarely said a word.
He quietly approached Pangu and looked at the focused profile of his face. Pangu wore no expression, yet radiated the majesty of one who held everything in his grasp. The Law of Heaven Opening flowed around him as naturally as breath, resonating with the energy in the depths of the chaos. Lin Yue suddenly realized that Senior was not only the Creation God, but also an elder who silently protected those younger than him, using his own way to carve out a safe haven for Lin Yue amid the dangerous chaos.
I have to grow stronger as soon as possible. I can't keep relying on Senior. Lin Yue silently made his vow. He returned to his place and devoted all his energy to Law Fusion. Before World Creation, he wanted to take the fusion of the Laws of Space, Life, and Heaven Opening to a new level, so he could share even the slightest bit of the pressure with Senior during the process.
From then on, Lin Yue's cultivation entered the fast lane. Protected by both the golden Guardian Shield and the Glimmering Barrier, he no longer had to worry about outside interference and could focus entirely on refining the fusion of the three laws. The Law of Space handled control and movement, the Law of Life handled nourishment and restoration, and the Law of Heaven Opening handled stability and defense. Together, they formed a perfect cycle. His strength increased at a visible pace, and he drew ever closer to the Mid-Early True Immortal stage.
From time to time, Pangu would open his eyes and glance toward Lin Yue, a barely perceptible look of satisfaction flashing in them. He could sense that Lin Yue's Law Fusion was becoming increasingly smooth, and that Lin Yue had even developed his own understanding of how to wield the Law of Heaven Opening. Such insight and adaptability were extremely rare among Chaos Creatures. Perhaps... he really could create a miracle during World Creation.
As time passed, the energy fluctuations in the depths of the chaos grew stronger and stronger. The Spatial Rifts in the sky began to heal, replaced by a massive golden gate. The energy of the Heaven Opening Axe had gathered to its utmost limit. World Creation was only one final step away.
Lin Yue stopped cultivating and watched the golden gate nervously. He could feel his heart pounding. He both looked forward to the birth of a new world and feared the force of the impact. Clutching the Lightning Protection Bead in his hand, he expanded his Space Vitality Domain to its maximum and prepared for anything.
Just then, Pangu opened his eyes. His voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority. "The impact of World Creation is about to arrive. Enter the core of the domain and guard your mind. Don't let the impact of the laws affect you."
Lin Yue nodded firmly and immediately drew himself and Kong Yu into the core of the Space Vitality Domain. He also merged the Lightning Protection Bead into the domain, making his final preparations. He knew that a world-changing act of creation was about to begin, and that he would witness this historic moment alongside Senior Pangu.
