Chapter 528: Dao Origin Formed, Three Hearts Become One

At the very moment Lin Xuan felt the changes in his internal power, an unprecedented profundity surged into his heart. The three forces of Yin, Yang, and Equilibrium, which had previously been distinct and separate, began to merge in a brand-new way under the guidance of the "Inclusion and Unification" philosophy.

This was no longer a simple accumulation of power, but a fundamental metamorphosis. The Yin Power encompassed all possibilities in the world, including pain and joy, life and death, love and hate; the Yang Power carried the driving force of change, no longer fixated on mere destruction or creation, but pushing all things toward a higher level of development; the Equilibrium Force became the Bridge connecting opposing concepts, allowing seemingly irreconcilable contradictions to achieve unity on a higher dimension.

"Is this... Dao Origin True Power?" Lin Xuan looked in shock at the strange light emerging between his hands. That light was neither pure gold nor a single color, but a flowing light containing ten thousand possibilities, at times as gentle as a spring breeze, at times as majestic as thunder, yet always maintaining a fundamental, harmonious unity.

Xiao Yuan keenly felt the changes emanating from Lin Xuan; that unprecedented sense of inclusion awakened something deep within her heart. She thought of the spiritual imprints left behind by countless living beings in the Wangling Ta over millions of years, those different life experiences, different chosen paths, and different joys and sorrows.

"Brother Lin Xuan, I understand!" A light never seen before bloomed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, "The inheritance of the Wangling Ta is not for me to choose one specific path, but for me to understand all paths!"

As her voice fell, Xiao Yuan did not hesitate to fully release the millions of years of spiritual inheritance she had obtained from the Wangling Ta. In an instant, a gold-and-green Natural Spiritual Light erupted from her body, containing the crystallized wisdom of countless living beings: the perseverance of cultivators, the simplicity and kindness of mortals, the silent dedication of plants, and the natural wildness of animals.

This gold-and-green light instantly resonated strongly with Lin Xuan's Dao Origin True Power. The two forces embraced like old friends reunited after a long time, without any repulsion, only a perfect union like water and milk.

Muerxiu watched the changes in the two of them, feeling both shocked and moved in his heart. His master's sacrifice, his friends' trust, and the persistence for justice—these emotions gathered in his heart to form an unprecedented power.

"Master, do you see this?" Muerxiu gently stroked the storage ring his master had left behind, his eyes tearful yet firm, "Your disciple finally understands the true meaning of the Void Path."

The Void is not emptiness, not nothingness, but the fundamental carrier that supports all things. Just like Lin Xuan's philosophy of inclusion, the Void encompasses all possibilities and connects all forms of existence. The past, the present, the future, life, death, and Lun Hui all find their place within the Void.

Enduring his pain, Muerxiu channeled his entire body's Void Power, and a silver light slowly rose from him. This light was no longer cold and lonely, but filled with warm hope, for it carried his master's expectations, his friends' trust, and a longing for a beautiful future.

At this very moment, the power of the three truly merged into one in the depths of the Time-Space Maze.

The golden Dao Origin True Power represented the Dao principle of encompassing all things; the green Natural Spiritual Light symbolized the endless life force; the silver Void Power carried the Bridge of hope connecting everything. The three different forces had no conflict; instead, they complemented and perfected each other, forming a massive three-colored ball of light.

This ball of light hovered in the center of the three, with a diameter of several dozen zhang, and three colors of light flowed within it. Even more shocking was that this combined power was not only immensely strong on a physical level, but also radiated a powerful appeal on a spiritual level.

The surrounding twisted and chaotic space-time began to gradually stabilize; those shattered mirror surfaces reassembled, and the distorted space slowly returned to normal. Even the Time-Space Maze constructed by Helian Chen began to loosen in the face of this power.

Most importantly, this power had not the slightest bit of aggression or hostility; it simply existed quietly, like a kind elder watching over all the strife in the world with a gentle gaze.

Helian Chen felt this power, and for the first time, true shock appeared in his eyes. This was not the kind of confrontational power he was familiar with, not a hostility meant to fight and struggle with him, but a form of "understanding" he had never experienced before.

"What is this?" Helian Chen's voice carried a trace of trembling, "Why... why can I not feel any hostility?"

"Because we have no hostility," Lin Xuan's voice came from the three-colored ball of light, calm and gentle, "Senior, we are not here to be your enemy, but to understand you."

"Understand?" Helian Chen sneered, but his laughter was clearly tinged with uncertainty, "What can you understand? Can you understand the pain of Lun Hui that I see? Can you understand the lonely despair I endure?"

"We can," Xiao Yuan's voice also came from the ball of light, filled with sincerity, "because the inheritance of the Wangling Ta allowed me to experience the pain and despair of countless living beings over millions of years. I have seen cultivators bullied because of insufficient strength, seen mortals lose their families to natural and man-made disasters, and seen those kind creatures die innocently because of the greed of others."

Muerxiu also said, "Senior, I have just lost my master; I can understand the pain of losing a loved one. I have also seen the dark side of the Cultivation World, and seen those cultivators who stop at nothing for power. We can understand your anger and disappointment."

The words of the three sprinkled onto Helian Chen's heart like nectar. He discovered that these young people were not denying the problems he saw, but were sincerely trying to understand his feelings.

"However," Lin Xuan continued, "understanding the existence of pain does not mean one must eliminate everything that produces pain. Senior, you chose destruction to end pain, while we choose change to reduce pain. These two choices themselves do not have an absolute right or wrong, but we hope you can give others the chance to choose."

The three-colored ball of light began to rotate slowly, and each rotation radiated an even gentler light. Wherever that light shone, the Hun Dun Power there began to calm down, no longer so violent and destructive.

"You see," Xiao Yuan pointed to the gradually calming space around them, "the power of inclusion and understanding is not meant to suppress or change you, but to find a way for all existence to coexist harmoniously. The Hun Dun Power itself is not evil; the key lies in how one uses it."

The three-colored ball of light hovered quietly, radiating a gentle and firm light. This power, formed by the fusion of Dao Origin True Power, spiritual inheritance, and the Void Path, spread outward like a tide, but it did not carry the intent of destruction; instead, it embraced the entire Time-Space Maze with an unprecedented posture of inclusion.
