Chapter 504: It Is Time to Let You See the True Face of the Third Party

The Shouwangzhe quickly reinforced the defenses around the Mingxin Jing: "What is more worrying is that if the will of the Void Sovereign lingers in the Wangchuan Realm for too long, it may destroy the balance of the entire Lun Hui System. We must complete the purification and leave this place as soon as possible!"

Lin Xuan understood the urgency of the situation and immediately accelerated the operation. He gently immersed Muerxiu's divine soul into the Mingxin Jing, while simultaneously guiding the Three-Origin Power to form a protective shield to prevent the well water from excessively scouring Muerxiu's soul origin.

After the well water touched Muerxiu's divine soul, it immediately turned milky white, and countless chaotic memory fragments were separated from within him, transforming into tiny light spots floating on the surface of the water. Muerxiu's divine soul also became purer and more transparent, and his originally chaotic soul gradually regained clarity.

"Be careful to control the purification intensity of the well water," the Shouwangzhe reminded, "Excessive purification will cause useful memories to be washed away as well."

Lin Xuan focused all his attention on controlling the Three-Origin Power, adjusting the purification effect of the well water. However, just as the purification was about to be completed, a golden-green light suddenly lit up at the other end of the Wangchuan Realm! That light was warm and full of vitality, emitting an aura diametrically opposed to the Void Sovereign.

"Nature God Monarch!" the Shouwangzhe exclaimed in shock, "How could even it be alarmed?"

The golden-green light gradually condensed, transforming into a tall figure composed of countless branches, leaves, flowers, and light spots, radiating endless vitality and vigor. That figure stood far apart from the purple-black figure in the sky, and the two distinct auras collided in the air, triggering an energy storm.

After sensing each other's presence, the two opposing forces released even more powerful pressure. The entire Wangchuan Realm trembled violently under this power, the river water churned, the silver vegetation on the banks swayed intensely, and cracks even began to appear in some places.

The Shouwangzhe's face changed drastically, and their voice was filled with fear: "Since Taijizi failed, the Void Sovereign and the Nature God Monarch have never appeared in the same space! The collision of these two forces could lead to catastrophic consequences—the Wangchuan Realm could collapse, and the entire Lun Hui System would be affected!"

Lin Xuan accelerated the purification speed, but at the same time, he was filled with anxiety—even if the purification was completed, could they leave safely under the pincer attack of the two Supremes?

At this critical moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xuan's ear: "Do not panic, child. Everything is according to plan."

Lin Xuan looked up in surprise and found that the primordial spirit of Xueyu Xianren had appeared before him again. But the difference this time was that Xue Wuhen was no longer a semi-transparent phantom, but possessed a more substantial form, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person, only surrounded by a faint silver light.

"Senior Xue Wuhen!" Lin Xuan was both surprised and delighted, "How are you here?"

Xue Wuhen smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two great existences confronting each other in the sky: "The opposition between the Void and Nature is an appearance; the truth behind it is far more complex than you imagine. Now, it is time to let you see the true face of the Third Party."

With these words, the figure of Xueyu Xianren began to change. His features gradually blurred, his stature became taller, and the silver light around him grew increasingly intense. Finally, standing before Lin Xuan was no longer Xue Wuhen, but a mysterious existence wearing a gray robe with a face that was neither male nor female, exuding an otherworldly aura.

"I am the Balancer," the existence spoke, the voice seeming to come from all directions at once, "an existence on the same level as the Void Sovereign and the Nature God Monarch, but I have chosen a different path—neither pursuing nothingness nor advocating growth, but maintaining the eternal balance of the universe."

Lin Xuan was shocked: "You are... the Third Party?"

The Balancer nodded: "You may call me that. The reason I stopped Taijizi's fusion plan back then was that the timing was not yet ripe; forcing a fusion would only lead to greater chaos."

The Balancer's gaze became profound: "All things have their laws, and the universe has its rhythm. The fusion of the Void and Nature is not something to be forced by external power, but must follow the rhythm of the universe itself, at the right time, and in the right way."

"And now, with your mastery of the Taiji Three-Origin Power, the true time for fusion has finally arrived." The Balancer looked at the Three-Origin Power circulating within Lin Xuan and nodded with satisfaction.

Having said this, the Balancer turned to face the two great existences in the sky, opened his arms, and began to chant an ancient incantation. A gray-white pillar of light shot up from within him, forming a triangular standoff with the purple-black aura of the Void Sovereign and the golden-green aura of the Nature God Monarch.

The three forces intertwined and collided high in the sky; at first, it was extremely intense, but under the mediation of the Balancer, it gradually tended toward harmony. The wills of the Void Sovereign and the Nature God Monarch seemed to recognize the Balancer, their hostility gradually subsided, and the three forces finally formed a delicate state of balance.

"Successor of Taijizi, add your power as well," the Balancer said to Lin Xuan, "Through the process of purifying Muerxiu, demonstrate the true Taiji Dao."

Lin Xuan grasped the intent and strengthened the output of the Three-Origin Power, guiding the purification process of the Mingxin Jing. Under the joint action of the four forces, the chaotic energy within Muerxiu was completely separated, and his divine soul gradually returned to its original appearance.

The Shouwangzhe witnessed all this, their expression complex: "I never expected that in the thousand years I have guarded the Wangchuan Realm, I would witness such a miracle—the three wills of the Void, Nature, and the Balancer appearing simultaneously, and the successor of Taijizi demonstrating the true Taiji Dao."

The Balancer smiled lightly: "Every era has its mission, and every life has its meaning. Taijizi's attempt back then was not in vain; the seeds he sowed have finally blossomed and borne fruit."

He turned to Lin Xuan: "Do you know why Muerxiu was deeply convinced that the awakening of the Void Sovereign was correct? Because in a sense, this is not wrong. The 'Nothingness' represented by the Void is also a component of the universe, just as important as the 'Existence' represented by Nature. The true error lies in obsession, in regarding one side as absolute."

Lin Xuan was thoughtful: "So the true Taiji Dao is to find the balance point based on understanding and embracing various oppositions?"

"Exactly so," the Balancer nodded approvingly, "And this is precisely why I chose you as the new generation of Taiji successor—you understand the true meaning of balance; it is not simply neutralizing opposition, but allowing various forces to play their roles in the appropriate positions."

Under the harmonious resonance of the four forces, Muerxiu's purification process was finally completed. His divine soul floated slowly from the Mingxin Jing, having returned to a pure state. His face was calm and peaceful, and there was no longer any chaotic aura in his soul.
