Chapter 328: The Reflection of Chains

Say it, do it!

Yao had no hesitation.

Her figure turned into a stream of light, instantly appearing outside the Blue Star Federation star system, which was tightly sealed by billions of order divine chains.

Deathly silence.

Cold.

Beyond the pure order prison laid down by Sun Wukong.

Yao still felt, seeping from within that star system, that chilling, soul‑freezing absolute "nothing".

She drew a deep breath, her exquisite face solemn.

Then she sat cross‑legged slowly.

In that icy, deathly silent void, she closed her eyes, like dream‑like stars.

"Wukong."

At the critical moment, her divine sense transmitted to Sun Wukong.

"If I… fail."

"You must personally sever my link to the dream realm."

"Do not hesitate."

Sun Wukong gave no reply.

【17> He simply gripped his golden cudgel tightly.

He merely, tightly, grasped the Golden Cudgel in his hand.

His golden eyes fixed unblinkingly on Yao's slender silhouette under the starlight.

His heart rose to his throat.

The next moment!

Hum—!

An indescribable, dream‑like aura erupted from Yao's body with a boom!

Her divine soul left her body!

It transformed into a being of light, brighter and more splendid than the stars!

The Illusory Dream Path activated at full power!

It was no longer merely constructing a tiny dream world;

but burning all of her Dao, divine soul, and will,

weaving them into a colossal dream‑net vast enough to envelop the entire star system…

The net shimmered with colorful light!

There were flowing streams and blossoms,

children's laughter and heroes' lament,

the birth of civilization and the fall of epics,

a magnificently splendid dream world brimming with infinite vitality and possibility!

It was like the sole warm flower blooming in this icy, deathly‑silent cosmic graveyard!

This great net, woven from dreams,

It is gentle, yet irresistible,

Sun Wukong's breath halted!

He saw clearly!

When the dream‑force, full of "variables" and "fantasy,"

lightly touched the order divine chains representing Hongjun's "fixed numbers,"

there was not only no repulsion,

but, like water and milk merging, it easily pierced through!

More importantly!

At the instant the dream‑force pierced the chains and reached the star system's interior, that "absolute malice"

That terrifying aura, which could even corrode Sun Wukong's Way of the Equal Heaven.

It showed no reaction!

It was as if it simply could not "see" this dream‑force!

It felt no interest!

It works!

Old Sun, I guessed right!

Sun Wukong's heart burst with wild joy!

This thing only "negates" what truly exists!

For Yao, who lies between "existence" and "non‑existence," pure "fantasy," it cannot identify, cannot define, and thus cannot negate!

The great dream‑net encountered no obstruction.

It is gentle, yet irresistible.

It enveloped the entire death‑still, specimen‑like Blue Star Federation star system, together with the billions of order divine chains binding it,

wrapping everything inside!

"Seal!"

Yao, the luminous form born of her divine soul, let out a soft cry!

The vast dream‑net snapped shut tightly!

Snort—!

A soft sound!

That piece, originally existing in the Real Universe, was a huge Star System.

Just like that, it vanished into thin air!

It was as if an invisible big hand had forcibly wiped it away from this scroll!

It was successfully pulled into a dream space independently opened up by Yao!

Success!

Sun Wukong's suspended heart had just dropped halfway!

However!

Just in the next second!

Suddenly, an aberration arose!

That piece, which had just stabilized, was a gorgeous Dream Realm world.

That piece, filled with flowing mountains and waters, birdsong and floral fragrance, was an Illusion Homeland.

Suddenly!

It began to fade wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye...!

The azure sky, as if a layer of gray paint had been splashed on it, quickly became dull and gloomy!

The vibrant green land began to crack and crumble inch by inch, sprouting ugly, centipede-like fissures!

The birds singing joyfully in the forest had their voices instantly turn into a harsh, noise-filled Deathly Silence!

It was like a vividly colored, absolutely beautiful oil painting.

It was smeared harshly with a rag soaked in filthy muddy water!

All beauty quickly withered! Faded!

Heading toward an inevitable, irreversible end!

「Pfft! 」

Yao's light-formed person, condensed from Divine Soul, shuddered violently!

The light dimmed by a third!

Her Divine Soul suffered an unprecedented violent impact!

「How could this happen! 」

Yao let out a scream filled with pain and disbelief!

「My dream... 」

「My dream is also being negated by it! 」

Sun Wukong's complexion, with a 'whoosh', turned extremely ugly!

How could this be!

Clearly, that 'Absolute Malice' had no reaction to the power of the Dream Realm!

But why, after pulling the whole world into the Dream Realm, did the Dream Realm itself start to be contaminated and negated!

Where exactly is the problem!

「No! 」

A flash of resolute madness flickered in Yao's eyes!

「I don't believe it! 」

「In my dream, I am everything! 」

She was unwilling!

She exerted her last bit of strength, frantically maintaining this dream realm on the verge of collapse!

At the same time!

Her Divine Soul turned into a stream of light, rushing stealthily toward the deepest part of that Dream Realm world!

She must find it!

She wants to see it with her own eyes!

What the heck is the source of this contamination!

Passing through layer after layer of shattered illusion.

Sweeping over piece after piece of withered law.

Yao's Divine Soul kept sinking, sinking...

She had arrived at the bottommost layer of this Dream Realm.

That place lay in the chaos rift between dream and reality.

That place, a source of utter chaos and illogic!

Here, there is only chaos.

No up or down, no left or right.

Time and space have lost their meaning.

However!

Just within this absolute chaos.

Yao saw it.

She saw a scene that she would never forget for eternity!

A shadow.

One, vague, huge, towering... shadow!

That shadow is too huge.

The Great Dao seemed to fill every corner of this Chaos Realm!

Just looking at it made Yao's Divine Soul feel a kind of extreme insignificance, as if about to be torn apart!

And that huge shadow.

It was being bound by countless millions of chains, darker than night and huge, tightly bound!

Those chains were enormously thick!

Each one was inscribed with countless profound ancient runes!

They extended from all directions of the Chaos Realm.

Like a prison that penetrated the entire Universe!

It tightly suppressed that terrifying shadow here!

Each breath of that shadow.

They emitted a chill that completely froze Yao's soul, icy and pure...

Absolute Malice!

This...

This is the source of everything!

Yao was completely stunned by this terrifying sight!

Her Divine Soul trembled violently under this terrifying aura emanating from the source!

Almost about to collapse on the spot!

Her gaze moved upward with difficulty along those black, icy chains.

She wanted to take a look.

These chains suppressing the terrifying monster—where exactly do their other ends lead?

Finally!

She saw it!

When she saw clearly what lay at the end of the chains,

Yao's mind exploded with a boom!

As if billions of suns exploded simultaneously!

Her beautiful eyes widened to the limit in an instant!

Her pupils contracted into a most dangerous needle‑point!

Endless shock!

And unimaginable immense fear!

Like the fiercest cosmic storm, it instantly submerged her Divine Soul completely!

Because!

Those countless millions of chains suppressing the Absolute Malice, black as pitch!

Their other ends.

They were, link by link, tightly locked...

Locked in place by the seal personally left by Master Bodhi Patriarch.

That seal guarded the last... of this newborn Universe.

Upon the seal!
