Chapter 444: Five Elements Return to Origin · Heaven and Human Unity

Outside the window, the purple-black aurora in the sky intertwined with five-colored light, forming a strange spectacle. Ordinary citizens did not understand the situation, feeling only an unprecedented sense of oppression. Many people gathered spontaneously, praying that this unknown disaster would pass.

Inside the headquarters, Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan still held hands tightly, becoming the core of the entire Energy Network. Their bodies were surrounded by five-colored light, their expressions calm and determined. This ultimate showdown, which would decide the fate of humanity, had entered its most critical stage.

Yage and the human will were locked in confrontation high in the sky; neither could gain a decisive advantage. This war of energy attrition would continue until one side completely collapsed, and now, both sides were making their final efforts for the ultimate victory.

Lin Xuan knew that this was not just a contest of energy, but a confrontation of wills. He

The energy standoff had lasted for nearly half an hour, and the purple-black and five-colored light in the sky intertwined into eerie patterns, like two giant dragons entangled in the high altitude. Inside the headquarters, Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan held hands tightly, doing their utmost to maintain the stable operation of the Energy Network, but both sides had fallen into a stalemate of attrition.

Lin Xuan could feel his Spirit Body gradually weakening; even with Xiao Yuan sharing the burden, they could not maintain such a massive energy output for long. Likewise, although Yage's offensive was fierce, it also began to show signs of fatigue, and the Void Energy fluctuations it released gradually became unstable.

At this critical moment of stalemate, Lin Xuan suddenly sensed a familiar energy fluctuation. This fluctuation was extremely faint, yet it carried a clear message, transmitting directly into his consciousness. Lin Xuan looked up abruptly, gazing toward the boundary between the Void and reality.

Between those blurred limits, a translucent figure flickered in and out of existence—the consciousness of Yang Zhiyuan had appeared once more; although it was more blurred than last time, it was still clearly recognizable.

"Yang... Yang Zhiyuan?" Lin Xuan muttered in surprise.

Xiao Yuan also sensed this fluctuation and looked in the same direction in shock: "It really is him..."

"Lin Xuan, Xiao Yuan, listen to me..." Yang Zhiyuan's voice came through intermittently, as if across endless space and time, "There is not much time... there is one final step..."

"What final step?" Lin Xuan asked urgently, fearing that Yang Zhiyuan's consciousness would dissipate again.

"I... before dissipating... left behind a final plan..." Yang Zhiyuan's figure became even more blurred, his voice intermittent, "Five Elements Return to Origin, Heaven and Human Unity... my life's research... the ultimate mystery..."

Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan listened with full concentration to Yang Zhiyuan's intermittent guidance. Yang Zhiyuan's voice gradually grew weaker, but the information he left behind was incomparably clear—a method to combine Five Elements Energy, global Practitioner resonance, and the collective human consciousness, an ultimate mystery he had conceived with the wisdom of his entire life.

"Lin Xuan... remember... Five Elements Return to Origin... is the foundation... Heaven and Human Unity... is the key..." Yang Zhiyuan's voice was now so weak it was almost inaudible, "Yin-Yang Dual Cores... are the trigger condition... human collective consciousness... is the final source of power..."

After delivering the final sentence, Yang Zhiyuan's figure finally dissipated completely, merging into the vast Void. But the seed of hope he left behind had already taken root and sprouted in Lin Xuan's heart.

A raging fire of hope ignited in Lin Xuan's eyes: "I understand! Xu Feng, immediately transmit a new order to the Global Cultivation Center, tell them to adjust the energy output according to the way I describe!"

Xu Feng acted immediately, using the Quantum Communication System to transmit Lin Xuan's instructions to every Global Cultivation Center. After receiving the orders, Practitioners everywhere began to quickly adjust their energy output methods, shifting from simple power output to a more refined, harmonious form of energy guidance.

At the same time, Yage seemed to sense that some kind of danger was approaching. Its attacks became even more frenzied, countless purple-black tentacles swept over like a storm, and the Void Energy formed a massive vortex, attempting to destroy the headquarters and the Global Energy Network.

"Defend!" Xu Feng shouted, and the technical team immediately activated the defense system at full power, barely resisting Yage's frenzied attack.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan held hands tightly and began to adjust the flow of the Five Elements Core according to Yang Zhiyuan's guidance. The Five Cores began to operate along a brand-new trajectory, forming a more complex and harmonious energy circulation system.

"We need more consciousness support," Lin Xuan said with difficulty, beads of sweat the size of peas seeping from his forehead, "Yang Zhiyuan said that the consciousness of ordinary people can also help us. We need the power of more people..."

Xu Feng grasped Lin Xuan's meaning and immediately ordered: "Activate the Global Emergency Broadcast System!"

The technical staff quickly executed the order, activating the emergency broadcast system that had long been prepared. This system could send a unified message across the globe through various electronic devices.

"Attention all citizens of the world," Xu Feng's voice spread across the globe through the system, "We are facing an unprecedented crisis. Please focus your attention at this moment, imagine light overcoming darkness, imagine peace and hope. Your intent will help us overcome this difficulty..."

This seemingly incredible request might have seemed absurd to ordinary people, but when they looked up and saw the strange light duel in the sky, many chose to believe and try. At first, only a few responded, but as more and more people joined in, an incredible miracle began to happen.

Hundreds of millions of human consciousnesses, regardless of skin color, race, or belief, converged at this moment, forming a faint but firm energy wave. This energy wave was not the spiritual power of Practitioners, but the more pure, more primitive power of the collective human consciousness.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan felt the injection of this power and looked in astonishment at the countless tiny points of light appearing around the Five Elements Core—each point of light represented the support of an ordinary person's intent.

"Yang Zhiyuan was right," Lin Xuan's voice was filled with wonder, "Ordinary people do not practice, but their collective consciousness also contains powerful strength. This is the true meaning of 'Heaven and Human Unity'—the combination of the power of Practitioners and ordinary people, the unification of the will of heaven and earth with that of humanity!"

With the help of this unprecedented power, Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan began to guide the final Zhuanghua:

First was "Five Elements Return to Origin," gradually merging the five different energies of fire, wood, earth, metal, and water. This process was extremely complex; the slightest carelessness would lead to energy loss of control. But under the perfect coordination of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan, the five energies began to permeate and blend with each other, finally merging into one to form a brand-new, higher-level energy form.

Next was "Heaven and Human Unity," combining the power of Practitioners with the collective consciousness of ordinary people. This step was even more profound than "Five Elements Return to Origin," requiring the Spirit Bodies of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan to reach a special state of resonance, becoming a Bridge connecting heaven, earth, and humanity.
