Chapter 226

Outside the universe, in Chaos, there is no distinction of space, no difference of time, and even no myriad Dao laws; all Dao arts and divine abilities in the universe lose their function here.

However, in this boundless Chaos Sea, there grows a mysterious and unfathomable Chaos Azure Lotus, rooted here like an island independent of Chaos in the boundless sea.

Chaos creatures wander in Chaos, having no definite form, no consciousness of their own, unaware of cause and effect, unable to discern right from wrong, muddled and confused.

However, among the many Chaos creatures, there is one that differs from the rest.

Although it too lacks true consciousness, it seems to possess some instinct; after the Chaos Azure Lotus appeared, it clumsily came to its side, continually wandering around it, as if sensing that this Chaos Azure Lotus was different.

Under the influence of this special Chaos creature, slowly, the other Chaos creatures also followed it, wandering around the Chaos Azure Lotus.

At that moment, the Chaos Azure Lotus swayed its leaves slightly, scattering specks of Chaos divine light, which fell upon the surrounding Chaos creatures.

In an instant, the originally muddled Chaos creatures seemed to have received some command, and began to head outward, as if searching for something in Chaos.

In Chaos there is no concept of spacetime; after an unknown period, a Chaos creature brought a bottle‑like object to the side of the Chaos Azure Lotus and set it down.

After doing all this, the Chaos creatures returned to their original muddled state, wandering back and forth around the area.

The Chaos Azure Lotus swayed, and at that moment a hand suddenly appeared, as if from beyond spacetime, directly grasping the bottle‑like object and vanishing into Chaos.

Hum—

At the moment the hand appeared, that special Chaos creature shuddered all over; its originally shapeless form became blurred, and it began to transform into a humanoid shape.

It instinctively came beneath the Chaos Green Lotus, seemingly sensing the profundity of the Chaos Green Lotus.

The Chaos Green Lotus swayed its branches and leaves, scattering specks of divine light that enveloped this Chaos creature.

Under the influence of the divine light emanating from the Chaos Green Lotus, the originally blurry Chaos form of this Chaos creature became increasingly clear.

Within the Huaxu Holy Land.

Fengyi withdrew his palm from the Chaos Sea, and in his mind appeared the Chaos creature beside his true form; a strange color flashed in his eyes: 'Zhongshan clan, that's not right—it should be the Emperor of Chaos, not the Zhongshan clan.'

In the original future timeline of this universe, after Zhongyue died in battle, under the influence of the Chaos Covenant, his corpse entered Chaos.

Meanwhile, because his Dao-heart was indestructible, he gradually transformed into a Chaos creature.

Because there is no past or future in Chaos, this Chaos creature exists independently of the universe's timeline, being present both in the past and in the future.

In the original future, after leaving the Chaos Sea, this Chaos creature became the Emperor of Chaos.

However, now because of Fengyi, the reincarnation cycle of this universe has been broken, and this Chaos creature has been wandering in Chaos all along.

Thinking of this, Fengyi couldn't help but feel a sigh: 'The spacetime laws of this universe are truly too special; moreover, outside the universe there exists a Chaos Sea equivalent to another dimension, causing the universe's spacetime to be almost played to ruin!'

Fengyi slightly shook his head, temporarily suppressing the thought in his mind, turned his gaze to his hand, and looked at the bottle of special material in his hand.

At that moment, Shentu beside him came to his senses, somewhat uncertainly saying: 'Fuxi clan, you just directly broke through the Chaos Sea and took this bottle out of it?'

'Mm.'

Fengyi, while examining the bottle in his hand, casually nodded.

'This'

Seeing the other party nod, confirming his thought, Shentu's eyes involuntarily flashed with barely concealed astonishment.

One must know that the Chaos Sea outside the universe is a forbidden zone for living beings; within it, time and space do not exist, the Great Dao ceases, and it will wear away all things in the world, turning everything into Chaos.

Even the Primordial God Kings who are closest to the Dao Gods dare not lightly set foot in the Chaos Sea.

The most binding Chaos Covenant in the world is established with the aid of the Chaos Sea; once violated, one's body will turn into Chaos and they will never be able to transcend rebirth.

Yet the Fuxi clan can now easily break through the Chaos Sea and even take this bottle from it, obviously possessing strength great enough to disregard the Chaos Sea.

'It seems the Fuxi clan now truly rivals a Dao God!'

After his thoughts turned for a moment, Shentu directed his gaze to the small bottle in Fengyi's hand, and with a curious look said: 'Fuxi clan, is this bottle related to my sister?'

Fengyi withdrew his gaze from the bottle in his hand and softly said: 'Lady Huaxu's consciousness is now trapped inside this small bottle.'

'What!'

Shentu's face slightly changed, and he instinctively said: 'My sister's consciousness.'

'More accurately, Lady Huaxu's consciousness is being protected by this small bottle.'

Saying this, Fengyi glanced at the Huaxu figure on the altar before him and continued: 'Back then, Lady Huaxu suffered a surprise attack by a powerful foe; her own consciousness was struck into Chaos, and the enemy likely intended to use the Chaos Sea's Chaos power to completely erase her consciousness.'

'At the critical moment, Lady Huaxu's consciousness fled into this small bottle, thereby avoiding being worn away by Chaos.'

'But precisely because of that, her consciousness became trapped in Chaos, forever unable to return to the true universe.'

As his words fell, divine light flowed in Fengyi's hand, the seal on the bottle's mouth dissipated, and a gentle undulation of consciousness flowed between heaven and earth.

Hum—

In an instant, the aura of Huaxu on the altar began to change, as if vitality had been restored in a moment.

The entire Primordial Holy Land blazed with divine light; the Primordial Kui Water Great Dao transformed into endless rosy light, rushing into Huaxu's body, causing her vitality to quickly become abundant.

'Sister!'

Seeing this, Shentu was overjoyed beyond words, and his gaze toward the Fuxi clan beside him grew increasingly doubtful.

Various primordial hexagrams that had previously emanated a Heavenly Mechanism-Fate aura appeared in his mind, and Shentu gained a new understanding of the Fuxi clan's current Heavenly Mechanism-Fate deduction ability.

Just then, the rosy light on the altar suddenly converged, all merging into Huaxu's body.

The next moment, Huaxu abruptly opened her eyes and looked toward Shentu.

'Houtu.'

Before his words even finished, Huaxu's mind and spirit fully returned, her face showing urgency as she hurriedly said: 'Houtu, something's happened—a powerful enemy masquerading as Leize ambushed me; likely someone is targeting the Fuxi clan. I must go see Crown Prince Qiming to warn him of this! Also, quickly notify the Yanze clan and the various emperors of the Fuxi clan in the Void Realm to make preparations.'

Saying this, Huaxu suddenly noticed a familiar figure beside Houtu, her expression froze, and she instinctively said: 'Fuxi clan.'

Fengyi slightly bowed his hands and said: 'Lady!'

'This'

Huaxu's memory seemed still stuck at the moment of the sneak attack a hundred thousand years ago, and she was momentarily dazed.

Ah

Seeing this, Shentu let out a sigh and said: 'Sister, it's already a hundred thousand years later now; many things have happened during these hundred thousand years.'

As Shentu spoke, Huaxi also understood the present situation, and for a moment she was somewhat dazed.

It turned out that a hundred thousand years had passed, and the Fuxi clan had almost been completely wiped out.

At the same time, upon hearing that Paoxi had worked out his own situation, he had cleared the Chaos Sea, drawn his consciousness out of the Chaos Sea, and allowed himself to awaken anew; Huaxi's gaze also shifted slightly.

After a moment, sensing the inscrutable aura within Paoxi's body, Huaxi's eyes flashed with an inexplicable hue, and she said: "Paoxi, you are now truly yourself!"

Huh?

Hearing this, Fengyi blinked slightly, then his heart stirred; recalling the scene when he first separated that thread of concept, he saw the visions of the innate divine dragon and the innate great snake, and vaguely understood something.

Beside him, Shentu did not understand the meaning of Huaxi's words, but directly asked: "Older sister, do you know who plotted against you back then? It caused you to slumber for over a hundred thousand years."

Who else could it be?

Huaxi snorted coldly and said: "Naturally it was the Origin God King. He betrayed the Grand Minister of Destiny, plotted against the Grand Minister of Destiny. While Fumin was alive, he kept a low profile and obeyed, but once Fumin died, he plotted against me. I fear Thunder Marsh also cannot escape his scheming."

Origin God King.

Upon hearing this name, Shentu couldn't help but startle.

At this moment, the nearby Fengyi's eyes flickered, and he spoke in a leisurely tone: "Your Highness, the one who plotted against you is indeed the Origin God King, but he is not the Origin God King you originally knew."

Huh?

Upon hearing this, Huaxi was somewhat puzzled and said: "Paoxi, why do you say that is not the Origin God King I know?"

Beside him, Shentu also turned his gaze over, curiously looking at Paoxi before him.

She felt that after this reincarnation, Paoxi, besides having a realm far surpassing his previous life and being unfathomable, also seemed to have become omniscient, with a sense that everything was under his control.

It seemed as if the past and future heavenly secrets and fate of this universe had been completely grasped by him!

On the other side, Fengyi's internal aura shifted slightly; two clear, radiant light wheels appeared behind him, forming a complete spacetime reincarnation wheel.

Eh?

Seeing this, Huaxi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she pondered: "Universe Light Wheel and Cosmos Light Wheel? Paoxi, on the basis of the Six Paths of Reincarnation opened by Fumin, you have also opened up the two spacetime paths of reincarnation?"

Just initially completed, not yet fully perfected, forming the true eight-path reincarnation.

He briefly explained his current state; Fengyi formed a mysterious hand seal with both hands, activating the spacetime Great Dao he controlled.

Illusory water sounds arose; countless black-and-white light points appeared, forming a lofty, illusory River of Fate before Fengyi.

Countless images flowed within it, as if containing the past and future of the entire universe, instantly attracting the gazes of Huaxi and Shentu, causing their expressions to shift slightly.
