Chapter 1324: and translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

Hahaha! Gu Yue Old Ancestor has plenty of tricks up his sleeve! This time, the collapse of Gu Yuan Heaven seems to have also been forced into a desperate situation. Oh, right, Ming Formation, will this heavenly collapse also affect the Burial Heaven Grand Formation?

Translation: "Hahaha! Gu Yue Laozi has too many trump cards! This time the collapse of Gu Yuan Heaven seems to have been forced into desperation as well. Oh, right, Ming Formation, will this heavenly collapse also affect the Heaven-Burying Grand Formation?"

We need to keep punctuation? Probably fine.

This is the only thing the Nether Slaughter Old Ancestor worries about.

Translation: "This is the only thing the Nether Slaughter Ancestor worries about."

The Ming Formation elder quickly sent a voice transmission: "The impact isn't that big! Gu Yue Old Ancestor had already set up formations in Gu Yuan Heaven; with the celestial realm collapsing, Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan are the first to bear the brunt!"

Translation: "The elder of the Ming Formation immediately sent a voice transmission: 'The impact isn't huge! Gu Yue Laozi had already laid down formation patterns in Gu Yuan Heaven; with the celestial realm collapsing, Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan are the first to bear the brunt!'"

"Will they both perish together?" the Nether Slaughter Old Ancestor sneered. "Gu Yue Old Ancestor's move is indeed decisive, somewhat similar to our Burial Heaven Alliance."

Translation: "'Will it be jade and stone burned together?' The Nether Slaughter Ancestor sneered, 'Gu Yue Laozi's move is indeed decisive, somewhat similar to our Heaven-Burying Alliance.'"

The Ming Formation elder said, "Ancestor, I suspect Gu Yue Old Ancestor already knew of our clan's Burial Heaven Grand Formation. This time, with the celestial realm collapsing, that destructive force deliberately avoided the main formation nodes of the Burial Heaven Grand Formation."

Translation: "The elder of the Ming Formation said, 'Ancestor, I suspect Gu Yue Laozi already knew of our clan's Heaven-Burying Grand Formation. This time the celestial realm collapses, that destructive force deliberately avoided the main formation nodes of the Heaven-Burying Grand Formation.'"

"Then that's good," the Nether Slaughter Old Ancestor coldly said. "This time Gu Yue Old Ancestor has heavily damaged the World Tree; likely Lu Xuan and Qi Chun Jing are also seriously injured. Who in Wei Yang Heaven can stop us?"

Translation: "'Then it's good.' The Nether Slaughter Ancestor coldly said, 'This time Gu Yue Laozi heavily damaged the World Tree; likely Lu Xuan and Qi Chun Jing are also severely wounded. Who in Wei Yang Heaven can stop us?'"

He immediately contacted the two armies.

Translation: "He immediately contacted the two armies."

You should know, even before the collapse of Gu Yuan Heaven, he had already arranged for the two armies to advance together.

Translation: "You should know, even before the collapse of Gu Yuan Heaven, he had already arranged for the two armies to advance together."

Led by the Dark Abyss Old Ancestor and Jiang Cang, a powerful Dao Jun realm expert of the Longevity Clan, they headed to the Realm Barrier, waiting for it to open, then directly charged into the lower realm.

Translation: "Led by Hei Yuan Ancestor and the Dao Jun realm expert Jiang Cang of the Shou Clan, they head to the realm barrier, waiting for it to open, then directly charge into the lower realm!"

Another army, led by the Annihilation Old Ancestor and Chen Liang, a powerful Dao Jun realm expert of the Longevity Clan, together with experts from the Yin Pulse and Annihilation Pulse, marched toward Wei Yang Heaven.

Translation: "Another army, led by Shi Mie Ancestor and the Dao Jun realm expert Chen Liang of the Shou Clan, together with experts from the Yin Meridian and Shi Meridian, marches toward Wei Yang Heaven."

He immediately contacted the Realm Barrier: "The World Tree is trembling; surely this Realm Barrier has also loosened greatly."

Translation: "He immediately contacted the realm barrier: 'The World Tree is trembling; surely this realm barrier has also loosened greatly!'"

The Dark Abyss Old Ancestor sent word: "Not bad. The Realm Barrier has begun to loosen. As long as the tremors of Gu Yuan Heaven continue a bit longer, the Realm Barrier will start to open partially."

Translation: "Hei Yuan Ancestor sent word: 'Not bad. The realm barrier has begun to loosen. As long as the tremors of Gu Yuan Heaven continue a while longer, the realm barrier will start to open partially.'"

"Very good, very good," the Nether Slaughter Old Ancestor was very pleased.

Translation: "'Very good, very good.' The Nether Slaughter Ancestor was very pleased."

He again contacted the army marching toward Wei Yang Heaven: "Annihilation, this time the Star Sea is turbulent; how are our casualties?"

Translation: "He again contacted the army marching toward Wei Yang Heaven: 'Shi Mie, this time the star sea is turbulent; how are our casualties?'"

The Annihilation Old Ancestor's voice was somewhat excited, his eyes reflecting the vast, tumultuous star‑sea collapse of the upper realms: "Still within acceptable range. Our main forces have suffered almost no casualties. Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan have completely shattered; this is the perfect moment for us to attack!"

Translation: "Shi Mie Ancestor's voice was somewhat excited, his eyes reflecting the vast, tumultuous star sea collapse of the upper realm: 'Still within acceptable range. Our main force has suffered almost no casualties. Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan have completely shattered—this is the perfect moment for us to attack!'"

"Then that's good," the Nether Slaughter Old Ancestor said. "Now Wei Yang Heaven is empty; we can directly charge in."

Translation: "'Then it's good.' The Nether Slaughter Ancestor said, 'Wei Yang Heaven is now empty; charge straight in!'"

"Good." The Annihilation Old Ancestor nodded, ordering the army to speed up its advance.

Translation: "'Good.' Shi Mie Ancestor nodded, ordering the army to accelerate forward."

Straight toward Wei Yang Heaven!

Translation: "Straight for Wei Yang Heaven!"

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the forbidden land of Gu Yuan Heaven...

Lu Xuan was still cleansing Gu Yue Old Ancestor's power, while Fang Yuan's physical body had turned into countless particles, leaving only the will of the sea of divine sense.

Translation: "Lu Xuan was still cleansing Gu Yue Laozi's power; Fang Yuan's flesh had already turned into countless motes, leaving only the will of the Sea of Divine Sense."

"Lord Lu..."

Translation: "'Lord Lu...'"

Fang Yuan's illusory form slowly appeared.

Translation: "Fang Yuan's illusory form slowly appeared."

Lu Xuan lightly tapped, and all the seals and restrictions on her body shattered.

Translation: "Lu Xuan lightly tapped, and all the seals and restrictions on her body shattered."

"Sorry." An extremely ashamed expression appeared on Fang Yuan's stunning face.

Translation: "'Sorry.' An expression of extreme shame appeared on Fang Yuan's peerless face."

She never imagined that Lord Lu would sacrifice Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan, and abandon the World Tree, to save her.

Translation: "She never imagined that Lord Lu, to save her, would abandon Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan, abandon the World Tree."

What merit or ability does she have!

Translation: "What merit or ability does she have!"

Fang Yuan's gaze swept over Lu Xuan's sleeves, taking in Qi Chun Jing, Yang Ling Er, Ye Chen, and others, as well as Commander Zhang Liao and the entire Wei Yang Army; she bowed slightly, saying, "I'm sorry to you all, General Qi, I..."

Translation: "Fang Yuan's gaze swept over Lu Xuan's sleeves—Qi Chun Jing, Yang Ling Er, Ye Chen, and others, plus Commander Zhang Liao and the entire Wei Yang Army—as she bowed slightly, saying, 'I'm sorry to you all, General Qi, I...'"

Qi Chun Jing lightly shook her head. "It's not your fault!"

Translation: "Qi Chun Jing lightly shook her head: 'It's not your fault!'"

Yang Ling Er smiled charmingly, her gaze gentle: "Fang Yuan, rest assured, even if the World Tree collapses, Master has a way."

Translation: "Yang Ling Er smiled charmingly, her gaze gentle: 'Fang Yuan, rest assured, even if the World Tree collapses, Master has a way.'"

She also knew that she possessed a power within her that could stabilize the heavens and earth.

Translation: "She also knew that within her body lay a power capable of stabilizing the universe."

"No need, Little Nian Nian," Lu Xuan said with a light smile, patting her head.

Translation: "'No need, Little Nuan Nuan,' Lu Xuan smiled faintly, rubbing her head."

His thought stirred.

Translation: "His thought stirred."

The Ten Transformations Heaven‑Earth‑as‑Usual Worm suddenly appeared!

Translation: "The Ten Transformations Heaven-Earth-as-before Gu suddenly appeared!"

This worm resembles a small tree, lush and verdant, emitting a soft, gentle green light, with faint mists of myriad mountains and rivers, and the images of sun, moon, and stars swirling upon its form.

Translation: "This Gu object resembles a small tree, lush and verdant, flowing with a faint soft green light; upon its form, a faint mist swirls with images of myriad mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars."

The restorative power is too rich.

Translation: "The restorative power is too rich."

Fang Yuan exclaimed in shock: "This power, this, this is... the Ten Transformations Worm!"

Translation: "Fang Yuan exclaimed directly, 'This power, this, this is... Ten Transformations Gu!'"

Everyone else felt equally shocked.

Translation: "Everyone felt equally shocked."

Who would have thought that Lord Lu also possessed a Ten Transformations Worm in his hand!

Translation: "Who would have thought Lord Lu also possesses a Ten Transformations Gu!"

Gu Yue Old Ancestor expended great effort and schemed through endless ages; only under favorable heavenly timing, earthly advantage, and human harmony did he manage to refine two Ten Transformations Worms, yet Lord Lu casually produced one with a mere reach.

Translation: "Gu Yue Laozi exhausted his thoughts, scheming endless ages; only under favorable timing, location, and harmony did he manage to refine two Ten Transformations Gu, yet Lu Xuan casually pulls out a Ten Transformations Gu."

This is Lord Lu's foundation!

Translation: "This is Lord Lu's foundation!"

At that moment, the last fragment of Gu Yue Old Ancestor's diminished power suddenly spoke: "Hahaha! Lu Xuan, you previously looked down on my Gu clan's Dao, didn't you? How did you also secretly learn my Gu clan's sacrificial worm refinement?"

Translation: "At that moment, the last fragment of Gu Yue Laozi's diminished power suddenly spoke: 'Hahaha! Lu Xuan, you previously looked down on my Gu Clan's Dao, didn't you? How did you also secretly learn my Gu Clan's sacrificial refinement of Gu?'"

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

Translation: "Lu Xuan's face twitched."

How did this Gu Yue Old Ancestor see that this was his sacrificial refinement?

Translation: "How could this Gu Yue Laozi tell that this is his sacrificial refinement?"

Gu Yue Old Ancestor continued, "In the contest of Dao and law, you, Lu Xuan, have ultimately retreated, stepping into my Gu clan's Dao! On the path of worm refinement, you and I are worlds apart; it can be said that your weakness attacks my strength. In the future battle, you are destined to lose."

Translation: "Gu Yue Laozi continued, 'In the contest of Dao and law, you, Lu Xuan, ultimately retreated and stepped into my Gu Clan's Dao! On the path of Gu refinement, you and I are worlds apart; it can be said that with your weakness you attack my strength. In the future battle, you are destined to lose.'"

"Butterfly World, I await you... Lu Xuan..."

Translation: "'Butterfly World, I await you... Lu Xuan...'"

Fang Yuan gritted her jade teeth and softly shouted, "Old Gu Yue, you have already been defeated, utterly defeated!"

Translation: "Fang Yuan clenched her jade teeth and softly shouted, 'Old Gu, you have already lost, utterly lost!'"

"Have I lost?" Gu Yue Old Ancestor said with a weathered voice, "It's merely a bit of wind and frost."

Translation: "'Have I lost?' Gu Yue Laozi spoke with a weathered voice, 'It's merely a bit of wind and frost...'"

His voice kept echoing in the storm of the celestial realm's destruction.

Lu Xuan said nothing, silently watching Gu Yue Old Ancestor's last power fade away.

Translation: "Lu Xuan said nothing, silently watching Gu Yue Laozi's last power fade away."

In the next instant, Lu Xuan directly activated the Ten Transformations Heaven‑Earth‑as‑Usual Worm.

Translation: "The next instant, Lu Xuan directly activated the Ten Transformations Heaven-Earth-as-before Gu."

"Heaven is the worm! Earth remains unchanged! Heaven and earth remain unchanged!"

Translation: "'Heaven is Gu! Earth remains as before! Heaven and earth as before...'"

With a roar, this Ten Transformations Worm began to burst forth with vast, surging restorative power, flowing toward the collapsed region of Gu Yuan Heaven, forcibly suppressing those fluctuations.

Translation: "With a boom, this Ten Transformations Gu began to burst forth with vast, surging restorative power, surging toward the collapsed region of Gu Yuan Heaven, forcibly suppressing those fluctuations."

Illusory images of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers appeared, while the illusory images of sun, moon, and stars continuously rotated.

Translation: "Phantasmal images of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers appeared, and the illusory sun, moon, and stars continuously rotated."

Everywhere flowed a pleasant Dao rhythm!

Translation: "Everywhere surged a tranquil Dao Resonance!"

This little tree gently swayed, wave after wave of jade‑green ripples spreading outward, forming countless ripples.

Translation: "The little tree swayed gently, wave after wave of jade-green ripples spreading outward, turning into ripples."

Within the Heaven‑Earth‑as‑Usual Worm, the vast stellar power seemed endless, stabilizing the heavens and earth, even more defiant than the Stabilizing Kun Pearl.

Translation: "Within the Heaven-Earth-as-before Gu, the vast stellar power seemed endless, stabilizing the cosmos—even more defiant of heaven than the Dingkun Pearl."

For a moment, the still‑shattering celestial realm could not help but cease its collapse, and the star‑sea tremors also began to subside.

Translation: "For a moment, the collapsing celestial realm that was still shattering ceased its collapse, and the star sea's turbulence also calmed."

This restorative power continuously spread outward from Gu Yuan Heaven, targeting Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan!

Translation: "This restorative power continuously spread outward from Gu Yuan Heaven, targeting Wei Yang Heaven and Yao Tian Yuan!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Wherever he went, the momentum of the Heavenly Realm's collapse was blocked, replaced by a reviving starry sky; the turbulent star sea also began to stabilize, and even the swaying of the World Tree weakened.

Numerous powerhouses were directly stunned.

"What method is this? This power…… is again a Heavenly Realm–level power!"

"The power to stabilize the Heavenly Realm forcibly erased the turmoil of Gu Origin Heaven outright."

"It must be Venerable Lord Lu who made a move! Besides Venerable Lord Lu, who else could turn the tide? Wait, this power is the Dao Resonance of a Gu creature…… Could Venerable Lord Lu also refine Gu creatures? This is definitely another Ten-Revolution Gu Creature!"

"Good heavens! Gu Origin Heaven suddenly produced three Ten-Revolution Gu Creatures!"

"Venerable Lord Lu knows all techniques; is it abnormal for him to refine Gu creatures?"

"……"

Numerous powerhouses discussed in an uproar, turning their gaze toward Everlasting Heaven, and soon they were shocked to discover.

This power of the reviving starry sky likewise reforged Everlasting Heaven and the Demonic Heaven Plain.

Fragments of the Heavenly Realm that were originally beginning to disintegrate actually started to coalesce, as if an invisible great hand were stirring heaven and earth.

The remnant domain of Everlasting Heaven began to drift continually in the direction of the main star!

The Everlasting Army shouted excitedly, "Everlasting Heaven is being reforged! Such a feat must be Venerable Lord Lu turning the tide!"
