Chapter 1325: Evolution

Yet the aura emitted by this skeleton, the phantom within that Chaos Cocoon, and the Ancient God Dao resonance inside Yan Buji all unmistakably share a single source!

"Is this… the remains of that Chaos Ancient God who tried to merge body with Dao?!" A storm of shock surged in Yan Buji's heart. He had not only found the "anomaly," but directly uncovered the Ancient God's fall site! This Soul Abyss turned out to be the tomb of that ancient existence!

That Chaos Cocoon is likely the bizarre entity born from the Ancient God's fall, its undying obsession, the lingering great law, and the special environment of this Soul Abyss merging together! It continuously radiates fluctuations that disturb the cycle; perhaps it is not malicious, but the Ancient God's obsession instinctively seeking reassembly, revival, or a suitable… inheritor!

As Yan Buji's mind roiled, the Chaos Cocoon seemed to sense his arrival and shuddered violently!

Buzz—!

A gray beam, refined to the utmost and infused with the supreme concepts of Chaos, Creation, Silence Extinction, Cycle, and other supreme laws, pierced through space‑time and instantly bathed Yan Buji!

Yan Buji had no time to react; he only felt his entire consciousness enveloped and tugged by an indescribably vast force! He seemed to see a towering existence that opened heaven and earth within Chaos, evolved all things, and at its pinnacle attempted to transcend heaven and earth, merging with the ultimate "Nothing," thereby provoking a backlash of the great Dao, causing body death and Dao extinction, leaving only a lingering, unwilling resolve…

Countless law insights, shattered memory images, and that unyielding will that strives to surpass the Heavenly Dao surged like a breached flood, raging into Yan Buji's mind!

This is… the Ancient God's lingering inheritance and obsession imprint!

Ugh—!

Even Yan Buji's will, under the onslaught of this vast information, let out a painful howl. His Chaos core spun wildly at an unprecedented speed, trying to digest and absorb this extremely precious yet extremely dangerous inheritance.

Under the gray beam's shroud, his body hovered, his aura fluctuated violently, at times brimming with vitality, at times deadly silent over all things, at times chaotic and obscure. His form also grew unstable, as if constantly shifting between material and void.

This is a great opportunity, but also a deadly crisis! If he cannot bear this inheritance, cannot dispel that undying obsession, his self‑awareness will be assimilated by the Ancient God's will, becoming new "nutrient" for this remains, or a puppet driven by that obsession!

"My Dao… is Chaos! It is Embrace! It is Evolution! It will not be drowned by the ways of those before!"

Amid the raging tide of consciousness, Yan Buji steadfastly guarded his original heart; he regarded the Ancient God's inheritance as the most fertile soil, the obsession as the fiercest storm, and his Chaos Path as the seed rooted in the soil, braving the storm, vowing to grow into a towering tree!

"Your Dao is fine! But it will become nourishment for my Dao!"

"Your obsession is strong! But it will be eradicated by my will!"

"I, Yan Buji, will walk my own Chaos Dao! Surpassing all, including you!"

He let out a shout from the depths of his soul; the Chaos Domain unfolded outside his body once more. This time, the domain not only contained the Silence of the Return to Void, but also began to evolve a nascent form of Creation; life and death cycled here, existence and non‑existence alternated here!

The Ancient God's lingering thought seemed angered by this unruly will that seeks to surpass all; the cocoon quivered even more violently, and more inheritance information and stronger obsession surged forward!

A silent yet extremely perilous Dao clash unfolded fiercely at the bottom of the Soul Abyss, atop the Ancient God's remains!

Meanwhile, beyond the Soul Abyss, above the Forgotten Swamp.

Several powerful auras quietly descended. Leading them was the Investigating Magistrate of the Hall of Passing, Bai Chen! He still wore a moon‑white robe, his features gentle, yet his gaze was icy as he stared at the bottomless Soul Abyss below. Behind him followed a few black‑robed Judges with deep auras.

"Indeed, it drew the Asura clan's assassin, forcing him to breach the Soul Abyss early… the plan is proceeding smoothly," a hoarse black‑robed Judge said.

Bai Chen gave a slight nod, a faint inscrutable smile curling his lips: "The residual of the Chaos Ancient God is not so easily inherited. Whether he is assimilated by the Ancient God's obsession or grievously wounded in the inheritance, both are the best outcome for us."

His gaze deepened: "Prepare the Reincarnation Chain and the Pure Soul Bottle. When both are wounded or the inheritance is about to complete… that will be our moment of harvest."

"Yes!"

At the bottom of the Soul Abyss, the Sea of Consciousness boiled from this Dao clash. Countless memory bubbles shattered and reformed under the collision of the Ancient God's obsession and Yan Buji's chaotic will, evolving bizarre phenomena. The dark‑golden Ancient God remains seemed to come alive, emitting waves of sorrowful yet unyielding resonance.

Yan Buji's situation was precarious. The Ancient God's inheritance was too vast, its obsession endured eternally, unyieldingly resilient. His Chaos core resembled an overloaded furnace, fine cracks already appearing on its surface; his consciousness swayed violently between "self" and "Ancient God," as if on the brink of total loss.

"No! My Dao, formed from the convergence of myriad paths, cannot halt here!"

At the moment his consciousness was about to be utterly shattered, Yan Buji's mind suddenly recalled the insight he gained before the Return to Void Sea's eye when confronting the 'Primordial Silence,' and the miracle of the Silence Extinction Azure Lotus blooming life within absolute void!

"Silence Extinction… is not an end… but another beginning…"

"Reincarnation… is also the cycle of Silence Extinction and rebirth…"

Fortune smiled upon his spirit! He abandoned direct resistance against the Ancient God's obsession and ceased forcibly devouring the vast inheritance. Instead, he abruptly altered the operation of his own Chaos core!

He used the faint azure radiance drawn from the Lotus as a guide, and his own understanding of 'being and non‑being' as a foundation, transforming his Chaos core into a miniature 'Reincarnation Ring'! This ring, one end linked to the ultimate 'Silence Extinction', simulating the intent of Return to Void; the other end linked to a faint 'Creation', containing his own self‑will; the ring itself composed of ever‑evolving Chaos!

"With my Chaos, I absorb your Reincarnation! Silence Extinction is the end, yet also my beginning!"

He no longer resisted the influx of the Ancient God's obsession and inheritance, but actively guided them into this newly born 'Reincarnation Ring'!

The Ancient God's obsession, imbued with Silence Extinction and resentment, was drawn into the 'Silence Extinction' end, like countless rivers returning to the sea; rather than destroying the ring, it became nourishment for the 'Silence Extinction' ambience, deepening and weighing that end.

Meanwhile, the vast Ancient God inheritance laws were drawn into the chaotic body of the ring, swiftly broken down and scattered, extracting the most fundamental Law Fragments, which merged into Yan Buji's own Chaos Dao, becoming part of his Evolution rather than supplanting it.

His Chaos has always pursued Embrace and Evolution. At this moment, he further incorporated the concept of 'Reincarnation' into his own chaotic system, forming an internal, uniquely his own chaotic reincarnation!
