Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2297

"Here are the most core secrets of the Three Realms. You may browse through them at will, but remember not to damage the ancient books or reveal their secrets."

Chu Fan gave them instructions, then turned and left the top floor, leaving the four of them with enough space to explore.

Su Qingyao and the other three dispersed and began browsing the ancient books on the bookshelf.

Shui Ling, interested in mechanisms and formations, went straight to the bookshelf containing ancient formations.
Xuanzang, on the other hand, focused on the art of purification through Buddhist power, perusing ancient Buddhist texts.
Mo Ying was curious about the origin of the power of shadow and the method of purification, so he searched for relevant records. Su Qingyao came to the high platform in the center and stared at the huge crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball,

Some blurry images vaguely appeared, seemingly prophecies about a millennium-long calamity.

Su Qingyao reached out and gently touched the crystal ball. An ancient and mysterious power surged into her mind.

Countless images flashed before her eyes:

The chaotic behemoth broke through the seal, and an army of evil spirits from beyond the realms invaded the three realms, causing widespread suffering and shattering the land.

But then,
The scene then shifts to a scenario where the Five Elements, combined with the power of the Buddhist, Taoist, and Human races, form an Eight Trigrams Sealing Array, sealing the chaotic behemoth and the evil spirits from beyond the realm.

At the end of the scene, Su Qingyao saw a clear text, which was the forgotten prophecy from the depths of the library years ago:

"A thousand-year calamity has begun, evil from beyond the realms has descended, chaos has broken its seal, and the three realms are in peril. The five elements shine together, the eight trigrams are at peace, and only those who are of one mind can attain eternal life."

But unlike before, this prophecy hides an even more secretive passage:

"Those who are of one mind do not refer to one race, but rather to those who transcend the Three Realms and Six Paths, and merge with the origins of all races, in order to obtain the true power of eternal life and break through tribulations to be reborn."

Su Qingyao was startled: "So the 'one who shares the same heart' does not refer to a single person, but rather requires the fusion of the primal power of all races in the Three Realms."

Just then, Mo Ying suddenly exclaimed, "Come quick! This is where the origin of the power of shadow is recorded!"

Su Qingyao, Shui Ling, and Xuanzang quickly gathered around.

Mo Ying held a black ancient book in his hand. The pages of the book recorded: The power of shadow is not inherently evil, but is one of the origins of all races created by the creator god, and it is interdependent with the power of light.

The reason why the Shadow Heavenly Lord was corrupted by the power of chaos was because he tried to absorb the power of evil spirits from outside the realm to enhance his own strength, which ultimately led to a drastic change in his character.

"So the power of shadow can also be a force of justice!"

A flash of understanding crossed Mo Ying's eyes: "As long as one stays true to oneself and is not tempted by evil forces, the power of shadow can also become a force to protect the three realms."

Shui Ling also found an ancient book that recorded ancient formations: "Look, this ancient book records the 'Myriad Races Sealing Formation,' which requires the fusion of the primal power of all races in the Three Realms to activate. The power of this formation far surpasses the Eight Trigrams Sealing Formation, and it may be the key to breaking the millennium calamity."

Xuanzang then came across an ancient Buddhist text that recorded the highest realm of Buddhist power—

"All Buddhas of One Mind"
It can purify all evil forces, but it requires the combined faith of all races to achieve this.

The four shared their discoveries, and gradually their understanding became clear.

The millennium calamity cannot be resolved solely by the power of the Five Elements and the combined strength of the Buddhist, Taoist, and Human races; it also requires the fusion of the primal power and faith of all races in the Three Realms.
Only then can true invincible power be formed, completely defeating the extraterrestrial evil spirits and chaotic behemoths. "It seems our previous understanding was too narrow."

Su Qingyao sighed softly.
"All races in the Three Realms, whether human, demon, barbarian, shadow race, or spirit race, are important forces protecting the Three Realms. Only by uniting all races can we truly cope with the millennium calamity."

Mo Ying nodded: "After I return, I will persuade the Shadow Clan members to join the ranks of those who protect the Three Realms."

Shui Ling also said, "I will study the deduction method of the 'Myriad Races Sealing Array' to prepare for the great war a hundred years from now."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "I will travel to all parts of the Three Realms to spread Buddhist teachings, gather the power of faith from all races, and cultivate the art of 'Ten Thousand Buddhas United in Mind'."

The four reached a consensus and prepared to leave the Scripture Pavilion to inform Chu Fan and the others of their discovery.

Just at this time,

The crystal ball on the central platform suddenly began to flash again, and a golden light emerged from it—the phantom of the creator god from back then.

"Young guardians, you have finally discovered the truth of the prophecy."

The voice of the Creator God was both gentle and majestic.
"The millennium calamity is not only a crisis for the three realms, but also a trial for all races. Only by truly uniting all races and integrating all the original powers can we completely eliminate the evil spirits and chaotic beasts from beyond the realms and bring true peace to the three realms."

"Senior Creator God, how should we fuse the power of the origin of all races?" Su Qingyao asked respectfully.

The phantom of the Creator God slowly said, "The power of the origin of all races is scattered throughout the Three Realms. You need to go to the settlements of all races and gain their approval in order to collect the pure power of origin."

"The key to integrating these primal forces lies in the 'Seal of Unity,' which is hidden atop the Immortal Tree in Kunlun Ruins. Only a true guardian who cares for all races and has no selfish motives can retrieve it."

"Furthermore, there is an even bigger secret behind the millennium calamity."

The voice of the Creator God became solemn.

"The leader of the extraterrestrial evils is actually the twin brother of the creator god—the Dark Demon God."

"After the Creator God created the Three Realms, the Dark Demon God, out of jealousy, fell into evil and absorbed the power of evil spirits in the starry sky, wanting to destroy the Three Realms and take their place. The Chaos Beast was just his vanguard; the real threat was the Dark Demon God himself."

Su Qingyao and the other three's expressions changed drastically: "We never expected there to be such a secret behind the millennium calamity!"

The phantom of the Creator God continued, "The power of the Dark Demon God far exceeds your imagination. To defeat him, in addition to fusing the power of the origin of all races, you also need to find the 'Heart of Light,' which is the only treasure that can restrain the evil power of the Dark Demon God."

"The Heart of Light is hidden at the bottom of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle in the East Sea, and is guarded by the ancestors of the Dragon King of the East Sea."

"I have given you all the clues. Now it's up to you."

The phantom of the Creator God gradually dimmed. "Remember, with all races united, light will endure forever. The future of the Three Realms is entrusted to you."

As the phantom of the creator god dissipated, the crystal ball returned to its calm state.

Su Qingyao and the other three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination.

“It seems our task ahead is even more challenging,” Shui Ling said, “but we have also found a clear direction.”
