Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Yuan" means beginning.

All things begin from this, and all things also end by this.

Using the Five Elements to construct the skeleton of all things, using Creation to bestow vitality upon all things, and using Yuan Xu to recycle all things when they head toward termination, transforming them into nourishment for the next creation.

This one Yuan.

It is not the Universe's one Yuan.

It is not the Heavenly Dao's one Yuan.

Rather, it is Xu Zhangqing's one Yuan.

It is the Dao he cultivated from the earth with the body of a Spirit Farmer.

It is the Dao he comprehended in this time corridor over one thousand three hundred years.

Simultaneously, several methods were born.

Return to Origin!

No barrier erected, no Spiritual Shield deployed.

Attacks landing on the body, the Yuan Dao Cycle automatically disassembles them.

Five Elements Power each returns to its position, Creation Vitality fills flesh body wounds, negative powers such as Extinction and Curses are channeled into the Abyss Ruins Black Hole.

The harder the opponent strikes, the faster Xu Zhangqing recovers.

If an attack exceeds the cycle's bearing limit, the excess power is forcibly channeled into the Abyss Ruins to accumulate; once full, it detonates, transforming into a destructive counterattack.

Yuan Fire!

The new flame catalyzed after the Heaven and Earth Furnace fused with the Qi Sea.

It does not burn the flesh body, it specializes in burning Laws.

Evil Forces, Curses, and the like are all within the scope of purification.

Using the Yuan Dao Cycle as fuel, it requires no additional Spiritual Power or Magic Power, and never extinguishes.

Five-Colored Yuan Light!

A new form of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Five Elements Mutual Restraint operates automatically; encountering Fire it transforms into Xuan Water, encountering Metal it transforms into Li Fire.

Those brushed by it suffer Five Elements imbalance within the body, Magic Treasures go out of control, and protective barriers collapse on their own.

Return to Void Finger!

A killing move comprehended from the Tracing the Source Law.

One finger points out, not injuring the flesh body, only returning the Laws inside the target's body to their origin.

Law comprehension instantly severs, all divine abilities and spells simultaneously lose effect.

Sow Cause!

With the Yuan Dao as foundation, sow a Yuan Dao seed inside the target's body.

While the seed hibernates, it automatically absorbs surrounding Laws, the host completely unaware.

If detonated, the seed operates in reverse, instantly throwing the host's Law Cycle into chaos, heavily injuring the Dao Foundation.

If not detonated, upon the host's death, the seed will feed back everything it absorbed to Xu Zhangqing.

What is sown in the field is spirit rice; what is sown on the target is karma.

Sow cause, reap fruit — that is the Yuan Dao.

The final threshold of the Refining Void stage silently cracked open at this moment, a breakthrough possible at any time.

Current Remaining Lifespan: 6666666 years!

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the Attribute Panel, then stood up.

This corridor has already fulfilled its mission; it is time to go out.

Go outside to find a safe place to cross the Calamity, formally stepping into Refining Void.

Immediately, he walked toward the corridor's entrance.

But having just taken three steps, footsteps sounded from behind.

Those footsteps were very light, as if someone were walking barefoot.

They came from the corridor's deepest part, the position extremely far, so far that even Divine Sense could not reach.

But that sound was approaching at a strange speed.

Not running, but walking.

Walking very slowly, the interval between each step so large it made one's heartbeat skip.

But with each step falling, the sound's position was closer by who knows how many li compared to the previous step.

Thus, Xu Zhangqing stopped his steps.

The footsteps drew ever closer.

From the extreme distance to several thousand li, then to several hundred li, several tens of li.

The rhythm never changed, as if strolling leisurely within the Time Flow.

The light and shadow on both sides of the corridor also began to twist violently under the footsteps' vibration.

Those originally blurry human figures seemed to accelerate their movements as if frightened.

Someone was running, someone was kneeling on the ground kowtowing, someone opened their mouth and roared soundlessly.

The temperature of the entire passage plummeted rapidly; Xu Zhangqing's exhaled breath had already condensed into white mist, and the hairs on his back all stood on end.

He suddenly turned around and looked toward the depths.

Deep in the passage, a blurry back was moving away.

That back looked like a normal person.

No details could be seen.

The color and style of the clothes could not be seen, the length of the hair could not be seen, whether male or female could not be seen, whether old person or youth could not be seen.

Always facing away from Xu Zhangqing, walking step by step toward the deeper part of the passage, the pace exactly matching the footsteps from just now.

Not urgent nor slow, not tight nor slow.

"Retreating?"

"Wasn't he approaching just now?"

"What on earth is going on!"

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing felt his scalp go numb.

He stood in place, watching that back disappear step by step into the deepest part of the passage.

The footsteps gradually faded, from dozens of li to hundreds of li, then to thousands of li, finally disappearing completely at a place even divine sense could not reach.

The light and shadow on both sides of the passage gradually returned to their original rhythm.

The temperature also rose back bit by bit, as if everything just now had never happened.

Xu Zhangqing did not go after him.

He did not even release his divine sense to investigate that mysterious back.

It was not because he did not want to, but an indescribable instinct was stopping him.

As if that was not an existence he could touch.

Or rather, not an existence the current stage could touch.

Xu Zhangqing did not think deeply about it.

Some problems do not need answers, but sufficient strength.

The him now did not have the qualification to touch that back, but that did not mean there would not be in the future.

Just like that, flying all the way outward.

When passing through backgrounds occupied by others, Xu Zhangqing slowed his speed.

The battlefield background Baili Hong had sat on was already empty, only the illusory figures on the battlefield that endlessly struggled continued their war.

The lava background, water curtain cave heaven, and statue ruins chosen by those Beidou Disciples were all empty, leaving only the law fluctuations of the backgrounds themselves steadily radiating.

The strange great sea Zhao Ziyue chose still had nine blood-red star reflections rotating on the sea surface, but the people were gone.

Not a single person!

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing had a plan in mind.

In this gap, the deeper the place, the faster the time flow.

His one thousand three hundred years in the passage might not be that long to the outside.

But to others, it definitely would not be the same.

At most, these people would give up after consuming a few hundred years.

Xu Zhangqing did not linger, his figure transforming into a streak of flowing light, flying toward the entrance of the gap.

The crack was still that willow-leaf-shaped crack, the silver halo at its edge still flickering.

The moment Xu Zhangqing passed through the crack, the sudden change in time flow caused a momentary dizziness, fortunately the Yuan Dao Cycle within his body automatically operated, dispelling this trace of discomfort invisibly.

In the blink of an eye, he stood on the floating island.

But the sight before his eyes made Xu Zhangqing's gaze slightly narrow.

The Chaos Sea had completely changed its appearance.

The gray-white chaos fog was scattered by spiritual light surging from who knows where, and the sky above the entire sea domain was covered with multicolored light bands.

The red was treasure light emitted by fire-element supreme treasures.

The dark blue was a spiritual halo condensed from water law.

The golden yellow was the Dao rhythm fluctuation of some ancient metal.

The emerald green was the life aura of an unknown spirit medicine blooming in the depths of chaos.

These spiritual lights intertwined, illuminating the originally dim Chaos Sea as if it were broad daylight.

It looked like the cosmic tide had reached its most intense stage.

Spiritual light no longer appeared one by one, but erupted in patches.

Every few breaths, a new light cluster would emerge from the chaos sea surface.

Some shot straight to the horizon and disappeared, while others exploded at a position several hundred zhang above the sea surface, scattering into countless small streaks of flowing light shooting in all directions.

Every streak of flowing light carried a treasure within it.

In the distance, countless streaks of escape light could be faintly seen weaving between the spiritual lights, the number of cultivators having increased several times compared to before.

Obviously, as the cosmic tide entered its climax, more and more cultivators from various star domains had rushed to the Chaos Sea.

The insect swarm also appeared and disappeared in the distance; the Vacuum Homeland had not given up on this feast!
