Primordial Chaos Remnant Chapter

Deep within the Sword Domain, the "First Generation Ruins" were shrouded in eternal twilight. Twelve coiled dragon pillars supported the collapsing dome, each dragon pattern flowing with a dual-colored glow originating from the same source as the core. As Chu Mo's fingertips touched the central broken stele, the entire ruins suddenly trembled violently. Golden blood seeped from the cracks on the stele's surface, outlining long-lost Primordial Chaos characters on the ground.

"Brother Chu Mo!" Yun Che's Time Reversal Mirror suddenly rippled, reflecting the scene deep within the ruins—the Demon God Counter Scales, which should have been sealed, were absorbing the stele's blood. The demonic script on the scales formed a bizarre parallel with the stele's characters. "These characters are rewriting history! The stele recorded the legend of the First Generation Sword Master splitting chaos and order, but now..."

Su Hanxue's World Suppressing Sword suddenly chimed, its blade automatically pointing to the back of the broken stele. "Look here!" Incomplete sword marks appeared on the originally blank surface. Each mark corresponded to the three seals on Chu Mo's core, but there was an additional, almost invisible fourth shallow mark. "This is... an older sword intent than Mother's sword marks, the same one I felt in the council hall!"

Chu Mo pressed against the broken stele. His Chaos Sword Body resonated with the blood, and fragmented memories surfaced from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness: the First Generation Sword Master, wearing a Counter Scales crown, stood at the Primordial Chaos Source. The item in his hand was not a single divine sword, but the "Hub of Hong Meng," composed of three light swords—the prototype of the three Law Swords he had condensed on the Symbiosis Platform. But in the next scene, the Sword Master's figure suddenly disintegrated. The three sword marks fell into the three realms of Chaos, Heaven Suppressing, and World Suppressing, respectively, while the last shallow mark vanished without a trace.

"So the First Generation Sword Master never truly died. He split himself into Law Swords and sealed them in the three realms." The phantom of the Heart Burning Sword Master suddenly appeared next to the broken stele, his voice trembling with unprecedented emotion. "The nine keys we seven Divine Venerables guarded are actually fragments of the Hub of Hong Meng that shattered when the First Generation Sword Master split. And you, Chu Mo..." He looked at the diamond-shaped light mark on Chu Mo's chest. "The Chaos Sword Body within you is precisely the 'Mark of Annihilation' left by the First Generation Sword Master in the Chaos Realm."

The ground suddenly cracked open, and the figures of twelve puppet Divine Venerables crawled out of the fissure. The fragments of the World Annihilation Seal in their hands had merged into a complete "Eye of Annihilation." The fourth shallow mark on the broken stele was reflected in their pupils. "Hand over the Hub of Hong Meng, or we will restart the 'Annihilation Cycle'—this is the law personally set by the First Generation Sword Master!"

Yun Che's Time Reversal Mirror shattered completely for the first time. The gilded fragments floated in the air, automatically forming a scene of the First Generation Sword Master's final moments: he stood at the collapsing Primordial Chaos Source, injecting the last shallow mark into the yet-to-be-formed Myriad Realms, and whispered, "When the marks of annihilation and salvation overlap, let chaos learn to weep, let order understand heartbeat, then..." The scene was suddenly swallowed by the black light of the Eye of Annihilation.

Su Hanxue's World Suppressing Sword struck the Eye of Annihilation, but its blade was sucked into the black pupil. Her voice was filled with pain: "They are devouring the First Generation Sword Master's remnant soul! Chu Mo, do you remember what the remnant soul in the core said? Nine keys are my body... The World Annihilation Seal is not a demon god's weapon at all, it's a shackle the First Generation Sword Master used to seal himself!"

Chu Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and placed his hand on the fourth shallow mark on the broken stele. The power of the Chaos Sword Body, Heaven Suppressing, and World Suppressing surged in simultaneously. The Primordial Chaos characters on the stele's surface actually began to repair themselves, revealing the hidden latter half of the sentence: "...Then, let symbiosis become the third option, surpassing destruction and creation."

The Eye of Annihilation let out a piercing shriek. The armor of the puppet Divine Venerables disintegrated one after another, revealing translucent bodies composed of Counter Scales and sword marks underneath—this was the "World Annihilation Remnant" left behind when the First Generation Sword Master split. Chu Mo finally understood that the so-called Demon God Source was merely the distorted form of the World Annihilation Remnant after absorbing chaotic negative energy. The true First Generation Sword Master had been waiting all along for someone to gather the three swords and allow the laws of annihilation and salvation to be reborn through symbiosis.

"Yun Che, Hanxue, lend me your strength!" Chu Mo raised his hands high. Three Law Swords descended from the sky, merging into a complete Hub of Hong Meng in his palms. The golden blood from the broken stele transformed into chains, connecting the World Annihilation Remnant to the core. "The First Generation Sword Master split himself back then to prevent a single law from dominating the Myriad Realms. What we need to do now is not destroy the remnant, but make it remember what it once was—"

"The first Symbiosis Sword Master of the Primordial Sword Domain." Su Hanxue's voice continued Chu Mo's sentence. Her World Suppressing Sword Mark merged into the remnant's Counter Scales, causing the remnant's outline to gradually soften. "Look, the Eye of Annihilation is turning into the Eye of Symbiosis. The devoured laws are returning to the core!"

Yun Che's Time Reversal Mirror fragments suddenly transformed into light butterflies, fluttering around the remnant. "Brother, look, the remnant's memories are recovering! When he split chaos and order back then, it wasn't to create opposition, but to give the Myriad Realms the possibility of choice... It wasn't until later, when the World Annihilation Remnant was corrupted by the Demon Domain, that it became the 'Demon God' we thought it was."

When the Hub of Hong Meng completely merged into the remnant, the coiled dragon pillars of the entire First Generation Ruins suddenly lit up. The dragon patterns on the pillars actually transformed into silhouettes of Chu Mo, Yun Che, and Su Hanxue. The Eye of Annihilation completely shattered, turning into twelve Law Seeds that floated above the Symbiosis Platform. Each seed was engraved with the totem of a different realm.

"So, the seven Divine Venerables and the twelve Annihilation Divine Venerables were all law guardians split from the First Generation Sword Master." The Heart Burning Sword Master's phantom finally solidified. He removed his helmet, revealing a sword seal similar to Chu Mo's. "We split the Sword Domain back then not only to prevent the World Annihilation Remnant from reviving, but also to wait for the symbiont who could merge the three swords—you three are the 'Primordial Reincarnation' prophesied by the First Generation Sword Master." Chu Mo looked at the Hub of Hong Meng in his hands and suddenly felt a call from the Myriad Realms. In the Eternal Night Forest of the Dark Realm, the purified glowing grass was bearing "Seeds of Symbiosis"; in the Order Holy Land, "Twin Flowers" that could accommodate both chaos and order were growing from the cracks in the Law Wall; and in the farthest Void God Realm, a silver-haired girl was gazing in the direction of the Sword Domain, her "World Creation Pen" in her palm suddenly displaying three-colored patterns.

"Brother Chu Mo, the core is guiding us!" Yun Che pointed to the new star map on the ruins' ground. The destination of the star map was the "Hong Meng Hall" deep within the Void God Realm. "That should be where the First Generation Sword Master left the last shallow mark, and also..." She suddenly frowned. "Also the true battlefield where Mother Chu Muxue was 'besieged' by the seven Divine Venerables back then."

Su Hanxue held Chu Mo's hand, feeling the turbulent Source of Chaos within him become gentle. "Mother wasn't being hunted back then, but voluntarily entered the Void God Realm with fragments of the World Annihilation Remnant to buy you time to grow. Now, it's time for us to complete her unfinished mission."

The three stood in the center of the ruins. The Hub of Hong Meng transformed into a stream of light that enveloped them. Chu Mo took one last look at the broken stele, finding that the fourth shallow mark had completely disappeared. In its place, in the center of the three overlapping sword marks, was a tiny, pulsing diamond-shaped light mark—their own, brand new Primordial Mark.

A storm in the Void God Realm howled outside the Hong Meng Hall. When Chu Mo's Chaos Sword split the clouds, the first thing that came into view were nine floating Law Scales, each weighing the "Chaos-Order" index of different realms. In the center of the scales, the only remaining "Law God Venerable" among the seven Divine Venerables who had besieged Chu Muxue back then was kneeling on the ground, a blood-stained Heaven Suppressing Sword Tassel placed before him.

"You've finally arrived, Symbiosis Sword Master." The Law God Venerable raised his head. There was no hostility in his eyes, only relief. "The seven of us willingly bore the infamy back then, implanting fragments of the World Annihilation Remnant into our bodies to prevent the Demon Domain from completely devouring the First Generation Sword Master's consciousness. Now, my fragment..." He coughed up black blood, which contained half a Counter Scale. "I can barely suppress it anymore."

Chu Mo took the blood-stained sword tassel. His mother's sword intent surged like a tide. At the end of the tassel, the same pattern as the fourth shallow mark on the broken stele was clearly engraved—it was the last "Symbiosis Key" the First Generation Sword Master had left for Chu Muxue.

Yun Che suddenly pointed to the depths of the Hong Meng Hall and exclaimed, "Look! There's a baby, wrapped in three-colored light... Wait, she has the same sword seal on her brow as us!"

Su Hanxue's World Suppressing Sword suddenly trembled violently. Memories of Chu Muxue's final moments appeared on the blade: in the downpour of the Void God Realm, she tucked the blood-stained sword tassel into the baby's swaddle and said to the seven Divine Venerables behind her, "Take her to the Order Holy Land, just like you protected Chu Mo back then... This time, let her be the bridge connecting chaos and order."

Chu Mo felt something explode in his heart—the baby entrusted by his mother, the baby girl sleeping deep within the Hong Meng Hall at this moment, was clearly... Yun Che. No, that wasn't right. Yun Che was clearly the Saintess who grew up in the Heaven Suppressing Hall, how could she be...

"Don't be surprised, Symbiosis Sword Master." The Law God Venerable smiled bitterly. "Princess Yun Che was originally the reincarnation of the 'Mark of Salvation' left by the First Generation Sword Master in the Heaven Suppressing Realm, and Miss Su Hanxue is the 'Mark of Balance' of the World Suppressing Realm. From the moment of your birth, you three were destined to hold hands in chaos and walk together in order."

The Hub of Hong Meng suddenly emitted a strong light. The nine Law Scales began to recalibrate, their originally tilted pointers all pointing to the center. Chu Mo looked at the sleeping baby girl and finally understood the true meaning of his mother's last words: "Find your sword"—it turned out his sword was never a weapon, but a companion who shared his source, a symbiotic bond etched deep in his soul.

When the sword seals of the three simultaneously lit up, a complete Primordial Chaos Era diagram appeared on the dome of the Hong Meng Hall. Chu Mo saw the past: the First Generation Sword Master splitting chaos and creating the Myriad Realms; he saw the present: the three of them rebuilding the Symbiosis Law on the ruins; and he saw the future: beings from countless realms with three-colored sword seals appearing on their brows, dancing the dance of symbiosis at the boundary of chaos and order.

But in the deepest part of the diagram, there was a blurry shadow—countless broken sword marks floated there, each engraved with a different "possibility." One of them was particularly clear: a silver-haired girl holding the World Creation Pen, writing the words "Annihilation" in the Void God Realm, and on her brow, there was even a faint, half-visible Primordial Chaos Sword Seal.

"Brother Chu Mo, the core is warning us." Yun Che hugged her arms, watching the diagram gradually dissipate. "That World Creator in the Void God Realm, she... she might be the fourth shallow mark lost when the First Generation Sword Master split, and the only 'Mark of the Unknown' that wasn't sealed."

Su Hanxue tightened her grip on the World Suppressing Sword. The Symbiosis Key on the sword tassel emitted a faint glow. "No matter who she is, if she tries to destroy the Myriad Realms with a single law, we will respond with the Symbiosis Law—just as Mother sowed hope with her sword tassel back then, we will protect hope with the three swords merged."

Chu Mo embraced Yun Che and Su Hanxue, feeling the steady pulsing from his core. The wind of the Void God Realm blew through the Hong Meng Hall, lifting his clothes and revealing the diamond-shaped mark on his chest, which perfectly coincided with his core. At this moment, it resonated with the sword seals of his two companions, forming a perfect triangular closed loop.

"Let's go, let's go get our fourth companion." Chu Mo looked at the sleeping baby girl, a relieved smile on his lips. "The shallow mark left by the First Generation Sword Master shouldn't be a prelude to annihilation, but the beginning of symbiosis."

As the figures of the three disappeared into the light of the Hong Meng Hall, the Law God Venerable looked at the fragment of Counter Scale in his hand, finally revealing a smile he hadn't shown in a hundred years. Behind him, on the nine Law Scales, the weights representing chaos and order were melting, transforming into a new substance—the "Breath of Primordial Chaos," surpassing the binary opposition, which only the Symbiosis Sword Master could create.

Outside the Myriad Realms, the silver-haired girl stopped her World Creation Pen, watching the three-colored light appear at the edge of the Void God Realm. A complex expression flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched the half-sword seal on her brow. Her pen tip fell, writing on the blank realm: "The symbiont has arrived, where is the annihilator?"

Before the writing could solidify, it was washed away by the three-colored light rain into fragmented specks of light, like the hope scattered by the First Generation Sword Master back then, which would eventually bloom into the true flower of Primordial Chaos, surpassing destruction and creation, on some dawn.
