Brushstroke Town at the edge of the Void God Realm awoke beneath the tri-colored morning light. The Law Turntable designed by Mo Hen slowly revolved—Chaos Fire Serpents and Order Chains intertwined into a spiral, randomly granting every living being entering the town a temporary law. Yun Che crouched beside the turntable, Time Reversal Mirror fragments assembling into a compass in her palm. Reflected in the mirror was a fragment of the Annihilation Mold embedded in the turntable's core, which was now producing a subtle resonance with the roots of the Symbiosis Tree.
"Look, the blood servant from the Dark Realm is trying out the Chaos Law!" She pointed at a black-robed young woman. The dark-gold flames dancing on her fingertips could actually ignite the Order Holy Codex without burning its pages. "The flames are leaping between the words, like they're illustrating the laws."
Su Hanxue's World Suppressing Seal suddenly pointed toward the Annihilation Observation Tower at the center of town. Atop the tower, Reverse Scale Scholars were injecting the blood mist of Annihilation Remnant Souls into the Paradox Furnace. "They're reverse-engineering the Annihilation Law? Mo Hen, this is too dangerous!"
Mo Hen merely smiled and shook his head, drawing protective patterns on the observation tower's outer wall with the World Creation Pen. "The Annihilation Divine Venerable's power is also a part of Primordial Chaos, just as shadows are the mirror image of light. The Reverse Scale Scholars are researching how to turn Annihilation Energy into a 'Metamorphosis Catalyst'—look, the blood mist inside the furnace is condensing into a 'Butterfly of Choice.'"
The Mirror Experiment of the Demon Domain Graveyard
At the same time, deep within the Demon Domain's Reverse Scale Graveyard, twelve Annihilation Remnant Souls were conducting a twisted "symbiosis simulation." They imprisoned a captured Sword Domain Sword Guardian within a Reverse Scale Cocoon, forcibly merging the Heaven Suppressing Seal with the Annihilation Law through a Chaos Blood Curse. On the Sword Guardian's brow reflected within the cocoon, a malformed mark had actually grown—half a reverse scale, half a sword scar.
"The flaw in the Symbiosis Law lies right here—" The Blood Soul Divine Venerable's fingertip slid across the cocoon's surface, and the Sword Guardian let out a pained howl. "When two opposing laws are forcibly made to coexist, all they produce is an uncontrollable monster. Broadcast this scene across the Myriad Realms and see whether those foolish creatures still dare embrace chaos!"
Primordial Chaos's First Independent Writing
At the crown of the Symbiosis Tree, the Primordial Chaos Infant suddenly broke free from Chu Mo's embrace and toddled unsteadily toward the First Generation Broken Stele Projection on the trunk. Her four-petaled sword seal lit up, and the World Creation Pen automatically floated before a crack in the stele. When its tip descended, it did not mend the crack. Instead, it drew a small door within it—a pure white space Chu Mo had never seen before lay beyond, filled with countless bubbles of unformed laws.
"She opened the First Generation Sword Master's 'Undefined Warehouse'!" Mo Hen's voice carried both delight and concern. "Those bubbles are Original Laws from before the Primordial Chaos Era. Even the First Generation Sword Master did not dare touch them lightly, because they can devour any established order."
Yun Che's Time Reversal Mirror suddenly illuminated the insides of the bubbles. One bubble was absorbing the Sword Guardian's pain and had actually evolved into a Pain Conversion Law capable of healing wounds; another devoured the darkness of the Reverse Scale Cocoon, and symbiotic patterns like a star chart emerged across its surface.
"Primordial Chaos is teaching the Original Laws to evolve on their own!" Chu Mo watched the light butterflies from his daughter's fingertips fly into the bubbles. The tri-colored patterns on their wings actually gave the chaotic bubbles ordered edges. "She isn't creating laws. She's awakening the instinct for symbiosis within the laws themselves."
The Lord of Legal Principles' Legal Revolution
Before the Wall of Legal Principles in the Order Holy Land, the Lord of Legal Principles was leading twelve High Priests in a Law Rewrite Ritual. They embedded fragments of the Star of Choice into their scepters. Within the gilded radiance, the once unyielding Myriad Realms Legal Principles Constitution actually split into freely combinable Law Movable Type—every legal clause grew an Inclusion Clause that accepted exceptions of chaos.
"When symbiosis becomes the highest law, every single order needs room to leave blank." The Lord of Legal Principles looked at the new blood-red annotation on the constitution. It was the lingering Sword Intent of Chu Mo's mother, Chu Muxue. "Just as when the seven Divine Venerables split the Sword Domain back then, it was not to resist chaos, but to leave cracks where symbiosis could grow."
Suddenly, a bloody hand phantom of the Annihilation Divine Venerable emerged in the holy land's sky, attempting to seize the Star of Choice fragment within the constitution. Yet the Lord of Legal Principles revealed a relieved smile and tossed the fragment into the air. "Now, this fragment belongs to all children of the holy land—" He looked down at the Oracles gazing up at the fragment, pale golden sword seals emerging upon their brows. "When everyone can independently choose which laws to embrace, the shadow of annihilation will have nowhere to possess them." Chu Mo's Mirror Predicament
The image of the Reverse Scale Cocoon suddenly projected onto the Symbiosis Platform. As Chu Mo watched the Sword Guardian struggle painfully inside the cocoon, a stabbing pain came again from the Demon God Void in his chest. The Annihilation Divine Venerable's remnant soul laughed from the void. "Chaos Sword Master, look at that monster in the cocoon. Is it not the reflection of the chaos and Heaven Suppressing Bloodline within you? When your companions see you like this, will they still be willing to coexist with you?"
Yun Che and Su Hanxue clasped his wrists at the same time. The three of their sword seals lit up the instant they touched, forming a protective barrier that shut out the illusion. Su Hanxue's World Suppressing Sword lightly pressed against his chest. "Do you remember how, in the Chaos Realm, you unleashed the complete Nine Chaos Transformations for our sake? Even then, I knew that what lived in your heart was not a Demon God, but a tenderness willing to split itself open for us."
Yun Che's Time Reversal Mirror reflected a scene from Chu Mo's memories: before her death, his mother Chu Muxue had tucked a sword tassel into his swaddling clothes, every thread upon it engraved with the Primordial Chaos Script for "symbiosis." She suddenly discovered a new detail in the mirror—the fringe at the end of the tassel shared the same origin as the Primordial Chaos Infant's hair. Both were Blank Carriers left behind by the First Generation Sword Master.
The Awakening of the Paradox Furnace
A tremendous boom came from the Annihilation Observation Tower in Brushstroke Town. The Reverse Scale Scholars' Paradox Furnace suddenly spiraled out of control. Annihilation blood mist and Original Law bubbles reacted violently, condensing into a tangible Law Paradox Entity—it was half Chaos Fire Serpent and half Order Chains, yet bore the same four-petaled sword seal as Primordial Chaos upon its brow.
"Quick, use the World Creation Pen to write the Sword Intent of Leaving Blank into it!" Mo Hen thrust the pen into Primordial Chaos's hands, only to discover that the infant was giggling as she reached her little hand toward the paradox entity. The annihilation-red glow in the paradox entity's eyes suddenly went out. It lowered its head and rubbed against Primordial Chaos's palm, transforming into a Purifying Paradox Beast capable of absorbing negative energy.
"So that's how it is..." A Reverse Scale Scholar removed his hood, revealing a Symbiosis Sword Seal at the corner of his forehead. "The essence of Annihilation Energy is a yearning for the 'absolute,' while Primordial Chaos's World Creation Power is the key that turns the 'absolute' into the 'possible.'" He pointed at the paradox beast, whose body was continuously splitting into offspring capable of adapting to different laws. "These little fellows will become the Law Mediators of the Myriad Realms. Wherever there is extremity, they will go and sow the seeds of symbiosis."
The Revision of the Annual Ring Prophecy
The annual rings of the Symbiosis Tree suddenly gave a crisp cracking sound. Chu Mo and the others saw the future image from before being rewritten: the grown Primordial Chaos Infant was no longer standing atop the shattered Star of Choice, but sitting on the paradox beast's head as the World Creation Pen repaired a broken sword. That broken sword was no longer a weapon, but the Book of Primordial Chaos, engraved with stories of symbiosis throughout the Myriad Realms.
"The Annihilation Divine Venerable's curse has failed." Su Hanxue caressed the tender new pen marks on the annual rings, left there by Primordial Chaos just now. "Because we taught the laws how to correct themselves. Just as the Symbiosis Tree heals its own wounds, the living beings of the Myriad Realms can also learn to find balance amid conflict."
The Birth of a New Realm
As dusk enveloped Brushstroke Town, Primordial Chaos suddenly drove the World Creation Pen into the roots of the Symbiosis Tree. Tri-colored light spread along the roots, giving birth to a new realm at the boundary of the Myriad Realms—Mirror Realm. This realm had no fixed laws. Everyone who entered would see, in the mirror, the opposing law they feared most. Yet when the mirror shattered, they would discover that growing from the cracks were flowers of symbiosis capable of accepting one another.
Chu Mo stood at the entrance to the Mirror Realm and watched the first Eternal Night Citizen enter. The light-filled reflection in his mirror had once terrified him, but he now reached out to touch it of his own accord. The reflection transformed into a light butterfly and settled on his fingertip. The Annihilation Divine Venerable's remnant soul gave an unwilling roar in the distance, but could only watch its power be absorbed by the Mirror Realm and turned into decorative patterns upon the mirror's surface.
The wind carried the rustling of the Symbiosis Tree. It was the First Generation Sword Master's remnant soul whispering, "When the last annihilation believer lays down his reverse scale, when the thousandth Star of Choice takes root, the true full picture of the Primordial Chaos Era will slowly unfold amid the annual rings of symbiosis."
Chu Mo looked toward the sky. The Stars of Choice had already linked into a dazzling Symbiosis Constellation, while his companions held Primordial Chaos's little hand and painted a rainbow upon the first mirror wall of the Mirror Realm. He knew this adventure of laws and bonds would never truly end—because every living being's choice was the most moving new chapter upon the great scroll of Primordial Chaos.
