Heaven and earth underwent a transformation.
At this moment, An Jing could see the entire Tianyuan Realm.
His field of vision was rising, ascending, plunging straight into the vault of heaven—yet also diving deep, into the infinitesimal, reaching all the way to the profound dark. It was as though his eyes had become the sun and moon, become Yin and Yang, gazing at both the grandest clouds, rosy mists, and mountain ranges, and the minute primordial magnetic disturbances within matter itself.
He could sense it—the incompleteness of the entire Tianyuan Realm—as clearly as he could sense pain in his own limbs.
The Tianyuan Realm lacked Water and Wood; Yin and Yang were concealed, while Fire, Earth, and Metal flourished excessively. This was because Fuxie had shattered the Tianyuan Heavenly Dao with a single sword stroke back then, preventing the Holy Demon from continuing its erosion. Thus, the world had split into two halves: one was demon, while the other was invaded by demons.
Humanity seemed to have won, but in truth had suffered a minor defeat. Though they still retained some vitality, the world itself had been occupied. The Heavenly Dao could no longer cycle on its own, so Yin and Yang no longer revolved. The life force represented by Water and Wood had been seized by the Demon Kingdom, while Fire, Earth, and Metal remained behind—but, thrown out of balance, they became rampaging calamities: the endless minerals and blazing flames in the depths of the Earth Abyss, and the endless Evil Clouds billowing across the sky.
Though these could also be considered resources, they were controlled by the Kun Demons.
An Jing had returned freedom to Qianfeng, the Kun Demons' central hub, and had also severed the Holy Demon's erosion, allowing the Tianyuan Realm itself to resume its self-circulation.
