Chapter 182

Primordial Heavenly Realm

On the island stood a palace resembling an ancient pagoda, with three ancient characters inscribed on it: Purple Dawn Palace.

Inside the palace, a stone figure covered in dust sat cross-legged; he was the overlord of one region of the Primordial Heavenly Realm, the Purple Dawn Stone King.

Stone King Hongjun

Just then, the void blurred, and a figure stepped out from it, looking exactly like the Purple Dawn Stone King; it was the Stone King Hongjun.

The Purple Dawn Stone King and the Stone King Hongjun exchanged a glance, and countless information flowed in their stone eyes, making them instantly understand each other's situation.

Stone King's Pinnacle

Stone King's Utmost Peak

Death World

Center of Myriad Worlds

At this moment, the Stone King Hongjun's aura was stronger than before by an unknown number of times, directly climbing to the peak of the Stone King realm.

Nine Provinces

The moment he opened his eyes, a vast aura rose from his body, causing all the Stone King powerhouses of the Primordial Heavenly Realm to feel an inexplicable unease from the depths of their hearts, and they instinctively looked in a certain direction.

The Stone King Hongjun paid no attention to the disturbance caused by his aura, but instead looked directly at the purple palace beside him, quickly forming hand seals with both hands.

As the seals were poured into the purple palace, the entire palace rose straight from the ground, transforming into a stone tower exuding an ancient aura.

This stone tower had only one level, appearing incomplete and somewhat flimsy.

However, even with just one level, the tower's aura was terrifying to the extreme, not inferior to that of the Stone King Hongjun who had reached the Stone King's pinnacle.

He reached out to receive the single-layer stone tower, and the Stone King Hongjun's Stone King eyes burst forth with a terrifying divine light that pierced through spacetime, gazing toward the unknown land within the Chaos void.

After a moment, his pupil light brightened slightly, he directly tore open the void and entered the Chaos void.

The Death World, a vast and boundless great world, was once the center of all realms.

However, countless ages ago, a war of emperors that swept across the entire Death World erupted, the Death World was utterly devastated, and the position as the center of all realms was taken over by the Primordial Heavenly Realm.

Walking through this world filled with deathly aura, feeling the world's emanation of decay and desolation, Feng Yi couldn't help but lament how mighty the emperors' destructive power was.

The essence of the Death World is even stronger than that of the Nine Provinces and other realms, easily capable of bearing the Stone King.

But such a powerful world ultimately shattered because of the war of emperors, becoming the half-dead state it is today.

It is no wonder that the emperors of the Nine Provinces sought to utterly exterminate all emperors, leaving no heavenly emperors, for the destructive power of emperors is indeed too great.

If not restrained, the entire myriad worlds will be destroyed in the fallout of the Sovereign's battle.

From this perspective, the idea of the Nine Provinces' sovereigns is not wrong.

"However, even if one wanted to exterminate the sovereigns, there's no need to achieve it by refining the primordial source of the myriad worlds, thereby lowering the power level of all existence as a price!"

This thought arose in his mind, and Feng Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

This is literally hurting the enemy eight hundred while self-inflicting a thousand loss—a losing bargain.

Anyway, with him around, the original plan to exterminate the sovereigns will never appear again.

Thinking this through, Feng Yi temporarily suppressed the thought in his heart and looked toward the distance.

In his eyes, countless trigrams flickered faintly, reflecting the silhouette of a figure with a human body and a serpent's tail.

"Nüwa."

His spiritual sense twitched slightly, and Feng Yi blurted out that name instinctively.

In his heart rose an indescribable palpitation, as if he sensed something vaguely, yet he could not truly ascertain it.

After a moment, he moved his feet; the shadow of yin-yang and the eight trigrams flowed, and his figure instantly vanished into the distance.

The Death World is the land of death among the myriad worlds; what exists most in this world are fire-seed beings.

These fire-seed beings can enhance their cultivation by devouring one another; to some extent, this is also a completely new cultivation system—the fire-seed system.

Thus, the entire Death World is dominated by powerful death beings ruling over regions, forming stronghold-like gathering points.

And in the deepest reaches of the Death World lie ancient cities built upon the Stone-Person Road, mired in transformation.

The number of these ancient cities is enormous, also revealing the Death World's profound foundation.

Walking through this Death World, utterly unlike the Nine Provinces, Feng Yi has seen many different sights along the way, feeling his horizons broaden.

After an unknown amount of time, he arrived before a rare oasis in the Death World, where he saw a small village nestled within.

The village is not large, only twenty-odd households, but the figures there are not fire-seed beings; they are rare living humanoid spirits.

"Nüwa Village."

Standing before the village, Feng Yi's eyes flickered with trigrams, and he instantly deduced the name of this small village.

"It really is related to Nüwa!"

This thought arose in his mind, and Feng Yi's spirit trembled slightly; that inexplicable feeling surfaced again in his heart.

"Strange."

Feeling a slight doubt in his heart, Feng Yi followed that sensation, moved his feet, and arrived at the village entrance.

At that moment, the villagers also noticed the unfamiliar figure at the entrance, each one showing a wary expression.

Just as Feng Yi was about to speak, the crowd of villagers suddenly parted, and an excited-looking old woman rushed out.

The old woman appeared very aged, yet her movements were swift as wind, more agile than a young person's, and she quickly came before Feng Yi.

"You."

After the old woman carefully examined Feng Yi for a moment, she then opened her mouth with an expectant expression and said, "Are you the Holy Ancestor Fuxi?"

After glancing at the old woman, Feng Yi's eyes grew deep, that inexplicable feeling rose again in his heart, and he calmly said, "Do you know me?"

"Are you really the Holy Ancestor Fuxi?"

Upon hearing Feng Yi's words, the old woman's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and she hastily performed a salute, saying, "Greetings, Holy Ancestor Fuxi!"

Feng Yi lightly waved his sleeve, a gentle force lifted the old woman, and he then spoke in an inexplicable tone: "How do you know I am Fuxi?"

Fuxi Holy Ancestor is unaware, our village is called Nüwa Village.

Saying this, the old woman's eyes flashed with a hint of reverence, and she said: "Our village's ancestors once received the enlightening guidance of the Nüwa Holy Ancestor, thereby transforming from death to life, and only then did they gain fleshly bodies."

Saying this, the old woman glanced at Feng Yi and respectfully said: "Before the Nüwa Holy Ancestor fell into slumber, she left behind your portrait and said you would surely come to our Nüwa Village."

"Wait, slumber?"

Feng Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he instinctively asked: "Is the Nüwa Holy Ancestor still slumbering in your village?"

The old woman nodded and said: "Yes, Holy Ancestor, please follow me."

After glancing at the old woman, Feng Yi's spiritual sense trembled slightly, he did not refuse, and walked into the village with her.

The village is not large, but its layout is ingeniously crafted, blending with nature, giving a sense of natural harmony.

Upon entering the central hall of the village, Feng Yi's gaze narrowed, and he was instantly drawn to a stone statue inside the hall.

The statue was a figure of a woman with a human body and a snake's tail, with ice-like skin and jade bones, her complexion like congealed fat, her features absolutely beautiful, yet it gave off an aura of inviolable dignity.

Although it was clearly a stone statue, the moment one saw her, it gave the feeling that she was alive.

"Younger sister."

At the moment he saw this statue, Feng Yi's mind and spirit were violently shaken, and vaguely, some inexplicable feeling surfaced.

Hum

The next moment, his innate spiritual light trembled violently, his mind and spirit connected with the stone statue before him, and vaguely a mysterious fate link surfaced.

In that instant, the stone statue of a woman with a human body and snake's tail before Feng Yi seemed to turn directly into flesh and blood, and its vital energy underwent a subtle change.

A mysterious undulation rose from her, carrying the sacred intent of the creation of all things.

At the same time, a thread of supremely lofty vital energy flickered faintly within her, giving her silhouette a sense of transcending the river of time.

The two different vital energies seemed to be entangled with each other, as if they were colliding and merging.

"Indeed."

Watching the changes in the stone statue before him, Feng Yi realized that this was deeply connected to his fate and his younger sister, and could be used to awaken her.

But just as Feng Yi was about to step forward, his innate spiritual light trembled again, a special lofty concept emerged and directly merged into his mind and spirit.

In that instant, his mind and spirit fell into a dazed state, countless insights surfaced in his heart, and his whole being seemed to directly break free from the river of time.

This is a fragment of the concept he once absorbed, originating from the Sovereign Fuxi of a lifetime!

As this thought arose in his heart, Feng Yi couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt.

How was the concept of Fuxi Sovereign triggered at this moment?

Hum

At the moment this thought surfaced in his mind, the fused Fuxi Sovereign concept made his spiritual perception, now unprecedentedly sharp, tremble violently, and an indescribable sense of crisis welled up in his heart, causing Feng Yi's whole body to shudder uncontrollably.

And just then, the stone statue before Feng Yi completely transformed into a flesh-and-blood figure of a woman with a human body and snake's tail, her eyes slowly opening.

A trace of anxiety appeared in her eyes, and at the same time an urgent voice sounded: "Elder brother, danger."

Before the sound faded, the anxiety in her eyes vanished, replaced by a pair of deep, indifferent eyes.

The moment those deep eyes gazed upon him, Feng Yi's mind and spirit trembled violently, he felt an indescribable palpitation, as if an ant confronting the lofty Heavenly Dao above, and his whole body was unable to move at all.

At that moment, a crystalline jade-like hand appeared, as if reaching down from the river of time, descending toward Feng Yi.

The hand's speed was not fast, but the moment it descended, Feng Yi's entire mind and spirit jolted, giving him the feeling that past and future were fixed, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free in the slightest.

Hum

Just then, the Fuxi Sovereign concept fused into Feng Yi's mind and spirit trembled violently, instantly lifting his mind and spirit to a special dimension, breaking free of this restraint.

The Other Shore?
