Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Zhen Yuanzi appeared very cordial, waving his hand toward Xu Zhangqing: "Right, Junior Brother Xu, you also came out of the Tianyuan Realm.

Quickly go persuade the people inside, tell them to give up sooner rather than later."

Xu Zhangqing asked in puzzlement: "Give up what?"

Zhen Yuanzi shrugged: "Give up resistance, embrace darkness, await the void."

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the Tianyuan Realm, and with that one glance he saw his eldest son Xu Ping'an suspended in the void; he couldn't help but say: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't joke around, An'an is still inside!"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes turned cold: "It's precisely because An'an exists, plus the Tianyuan Realm is somewhat special, that the twisting power of the Da Dao Zun and the Myriad Worlds True Lord and the others simply cannot infiltrate."

Xu Zhangqing scanned the surroundings: "Da Dao Zun?"

Zhen Yuanzi raised a hand and pointed.

Xu Zhangqing looked along the gesture and instantly froze.

It turned out that the twisted figure, its whole body torn by different times, not a single moment fixed, was the Da Dao Zun "Zhang Daoxuan".

Not only him, the three beside him also recognized them at once.

Myriad Worlds True Lord, Myriad Insect Mother Empress, Chaos Giant Snake Xian Xu Jun.

These Master-level Powerhouses had all been invaded by Outer Realm Evil Forces, their origins thoroughly twisted.

Zhen Yuanzi said seriously: "Junior Brother Xu, as long as the Tianyuan Realm is also gone, the void will catch up very quickly.

You are father and son; he will definitely listen to your words."

Xu Zhangqing sneered inwardly.

If he had Mahayana Stage cultivation, the first thing he would do is kill the other party.

But now is not the time to turn hostile; he nodded calmly: "Fine, I'll go take a look!"

Zhen Yuanzi suspected nothing and truly let the Da Dao Zun and the others make way.

Xu Zhangqing flew toward that faint light, the distance drawing ever closer, and in the end he actually passed through without the slightest obstruction.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes narrowed: "Strange, Junior Brother Xu wasn't rejected by the Heavenly Dao Will?"

The reason the Tianyuan Realm still exists and hasn't been eroded by the twisting power is because this place is blessed by the Heavenly Dao Will.

People like him and the Da Dao Zun who harbor twisting power fundamentally cannot approach.

Now that Xu Zhangqing entered so easily, that only explains one thing.

He hasn't been corrupted, hasn't been twisted!

Xu Zhangqing entered the Tianyuan Realm, father and son reunited.

Xu Ping'an looked at the person before him, his whole body stiffening.

His father, dead for several thousand years, had actually appeared again.

His first reaction was to feel this person was fake.

As expected, it was another fake created by Zhen Yuanzi.

But unexpectedly, this "fake" could enter the Tianyuan Realm, and now stood right in front of him.

Xu Zhangqing looked him up and down, then smiled: "Much more mature, huh."

"Father!"

Xu Ping'an could no longer hold back, tears bursting from his eyes: "You're really still alive?"

Xu Zhangqing patted his shoulder: "Of course I'm alive, and living very well.

Alright, you're a grown man, what are you crying for.

First tell me, what's the situation now?"

Xu Ping'an wiped his face, choking up as he recounted everything from the beginning.

From how Zhen Yuanzi returned, how he used the White-Clad Lord's power to twist the Da Dao Zun's Time Authority, how he progressed step by step to today.

And how he himself led the surviving beings of the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds, retreated to Tianyuan, and guarded it for this many years.

After listening, Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Worthy of being my son!"

Xu Ping'an looked toward Zhen Yuanzi, the Da Dao Zun, and those twisted monsters outside: "Father, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do."

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "I farm to feed everyone, you fight to protect everyone!"

From this day on, he never paid any more attention to Zhen Yuanzi.

Xu Zhangqing treated the entire Tianyuan Realm as one mu of Spirit Field and began planting all kinds of Spirit Plants.

Humans, Demon Race, surviving beings — they lived on in this final abandoned land.

At first, Zhen Yuanzi still thought Xu Zhangqing was waiting for an opportunity, so he waited patiently.

As one thousand years passed, two thousand years passed, the result was Xu Zhangqing was still farming.

Until three thousand years later, he finally realized he had been played by the other party.

This Xu Zhangqing never intended to persuade Xu Ping'an to give up resistance at all.

He even joined in.

Just like that, days passed one by one.

Xu Ping'an finally broke through to the Mahayana Stage.

Then came a hundred generations of succession.

The Tianyuan Realm, this place once regarded as an abandoned land, gradually became the only "Xian Jie" among the Zhutian Wan Jie where cultivators still existed.

As for Xu Zhangqing, he naturally became the Ancestor.

However, as time continued to pass, fewer and fewer people remained by his side.

The familiar and the unfamiliar, one by one, all left.

Xu Ping'an left.

Luo Qinghan left.

The Xu Clan declined completely.

Later, even Zhen Yuanzi could no longer endure it; he cursed "Bei Dirty" in anger, then exhausted all his lifespan in the Void.

Later still, Xu Zhangqing looked around and discovered that only he remained.

No one knew how long had passed before the mysterious man appeared again.

He stood in the Void.

Wearing a gray cloth long robe, with an ordinary appearance—not a single feature of his eyebrows, eyes, mouth, or nose stood out—yet his whole person still exuded a composed attitude of one who had seen all worldly affairs.

Xu Zhangqing said with a sigh, "You have finally come."

The mysterious man asked with a smile, "This time, what kind of surprise can you bring me?"

Xu Zhangqing said doubtfully, "Surprise?"

The mysterious man said with a smile, "Do you think we have only met twice?"

Xu Zhangqing countered, "Is it not?"

The mysterious man shook his head: "The first time we met, you were the Green Emperor."

The second time, you were Shen Nong.

The third time, you were called Xun Boshi.

You have already reincarnated four hundred thousand times, opposing me in every life.

Counting it up, we have fought for a full one billion three hundred and forty-four million years!"

Xu Zhangqing stared at the mysterious man, saying nothing for a long time.

Previously, he had indeed had some guesses in his heart.

Four lives, five lives, perhaps more.

But he had never imagined it was four hundred thousand times, nor one billion three hundred and forty million years.

"Still the same words."

The mysterious man spoke again: "This time, what kind of surprise can you bring me?"

Xu Zhangqing opened his mouth: "I... I don't know."

He lived until the end.

And lived longer than anyone else.

But before the Void, what meaning was there in living long?

The fields he had planted, the people he had saved, the cities he had guarded—now all swallowed by darkness.

Even the last Tianyuan Realm was merely a faint light in the wind, extinguishable at any moment.

For this answer, the mysterious man felt no disappointment; instead, he smiled: "Your future self, namely Xun Boshi, told me to pass on a message."

"What message?"

"One Yuan as the beginning, all things renewed!"

As these eight words fell, Xu Zhangqing was stunned again.

Was this not his Yuan Shi Foundation?

Yuan is within the Dao.

Shi is outside the Dao.

One Yuan returns to the beginning, all things renewed.

Yuan Shi is the beginning of all things, and also the return of all things.

Xu Zhangqing closed his eyes, then opened them again after a moment: "I understand."

At this moment, the Yuan Shi Foundation began to operate thoroughly.

Creation, Order, Termination—the Three Yuan return to the truth.

The Yuan Shi Power transformed into a spring seedling, beginning to grow in the Void.

"From now on, I am the sky, I am the earth.

I am a gust of wind, I am a drop of rain.

I am dust, I am sand.

I am the fish in the water, I am the butterfly in the wind.

I am the first rain of spring.

I am the fiercest ray of light when the rice is filling in summer.

I am the breeze that brushes past when the grain heads bow in autumn.

I am the first seed sleeping beneath the heavy snow of winter.

I am the green bamboo in Senior Brother Zhu's courtyard.

I am the watermelon Hu Bugui gnawed on while squatting on the Spirit Field Ridge.

I am the bowl of Spirit Rice Wine that had gone cold before Li Sancai's grave.

I am the fish Zhao Ziyue could never catch.

I am the last jar of wine Pei Mo drank dry.

It is the white crane circling beside Chu Qiu.

It is the strongest sword intent Qin Baili comprehended.

It is the golden bead on Jin Buhuan's abacus.

Xu Zhangqing spoke as he walked toward the void.

Though there was no road underfoot, he forged a new road.

"It is the snow that landed on Yu Caiqing's shoulder.

It is the strand of black hair hanging down on Ruo Qunshuang's forehead.

It is a petal beside Bei Qingtang.

It is an echo outside of time from Luo Qinghan.

It is the strongest shield before Ping'an.

It is the courage Linglong alone used to guard Gui Xu Long Mu.

It is the account book in Xu He's hand.

It is the Xu-character flag on Xu Sui's merchant ship."

Soon, Xu Zhangqing stood before the mysterious man.

Spring Seedling had already grown tall, its roots digging into the deepest part of the void.

The two faced each other, and Xu Zhangqing spoke his final words: "Even more... a stalk of rice in the Spirit Field!"

Seeing this, the mysterious man restrained his smile for the first time.

Spring Seedling kept growing, growing taller and brighter.

Roots downward, stems and leaves upward.

With Xu Zhangqing's will, plant roots in the void, extend the future!
