Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

hum!
A thick, asphalt-like black energy stream, composed of pure, annihilated origin, shot out from the vortex like a greedy python, plunging fiercely into the jungle of limbs struggling most violently in the filthy earth below!
Chi la la!
The remains of those victims who had been imprisoned for hundreds of millions of years, along with their remaining power of laws and boundless resentment, were instantly devoured, torn apart, and pulverized by this stream of annihilation!
Indescribable "nutrients" flowed back into Yu Changsheng's body along the black energy stream!
strength!

An unprecedented, cold and violent power, filled with endless pain and resentment, instantly filled his limbs and bones, tearing and brutally filling his damaged meridians and foundation!
The wounds on his body reopened, and the fluid that flowed out was no longer starlight energy, but a viscous, dark purple liquid that exuded an ominous aura!

Those mysterious Dao patterns became even more complex and profound, yet they also faintly revealed an uncontrolled ferocity!
The flames of annihilation burning in his eyes suddenly surged, almost engulfing the entire white of his eyes, and an aura of coldness, violence, and destruction enveloped his entire body like a tangible suit of armor.

He felt himself being assimilated, being forcibly pushed into an inhuman realm by this vast, filthy source of annihilation!

The embryonic form of the Dao is growing rapidly, but it is also teetering on the edge of getting out of control!

The will to protect the lotus embryo was violently shaken by this force, as if it could be replaced by a pure instinct for destruction at any moment.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Just as Yu Changsheng was beset by internal and external troubles and on the verge of complete demonization, a cold, sticky, greedy, and malicious low laugh suddenly rang out from the depths of his consciousness!
The laughter did not come from the outside, but rather from... the emerald lotus embryo in his arms!

It is the will of the Voidworm's mother nest!

It was never fully purified. When Wang Cheng watered the lotus seed with imperial blood and the lotus seed absorbed the power of star extinction on its own, it was like a lurking venomous snake, quietly attaching itself to the faint life mark of Chen Xueqing at the core of the lotus seed, greedily absorbing the dissipated power!
At this moment, taking advantage of the chaotic moment when Yu Changsheng was being impacted by the resentment of billions of remnant souls, his consciousness defenses were on the verge of collapse, and his Dao embryo was running rampant and frantically devouring filthy energy, this long-dormant venomous snake finally bared its fangs!

An extremely pure, insidious, and space-tearing corrosive force, like countless invisible worms, suddenly erupted from the core of the lotus embryo!

The target is not Yu Changsheng, but rather—the key node maintaining the entire fragile balance, the source of the Emerald Lotus Embryo, which is filtering and purifying the energy of the Chaos Embryo embryo's embryonic form!

It intends to strike at the root of the problem! Before Yu Changsheng is assimilated by Annihilation, it will first corrupt and tear apart the lotus embryo, seizing Chen Xueqing's origin and that precious Star Origin Ancestral Vein imprint! Then, taking advantage of the chaos when Yu Changsheng completely loses control and becomes the source of Annihilation, it will find an opportunity to escape this cage, and even... reverse control of this powerful body of Annihilation!

"No—!" Yu Changsheng instantly sensed the crisis erupting inside the lotus embryo!
A fear that chilled him to the bone, more intense than the monstrous beast tearing apart the seal or the resentful spirits crashing down upon him, gripped his heart!
The real dead end has arrived at this moment!
Yu Changsheng suddenly lowered his head, his gaze piercing through the light field, locking onto the lotus embryo in his arms, which was trembling violently and wrapped with wisps of murky blackish-purple patterns amidst the emerald-gold light.

He could feel the pale blue light emanating from the core of the lotus embryo being frantically devoured and corrupted by countless cold, ethereal worms! Chen Xueqing's faint aura flickered violently like a candle flame in a storm, threatening to go out at any moment!

The will of the Devouring Nest emitted a silent shriek, filled with triumphant madness.

There was no time to hesitate.

Yu Changsheng suddenly raised his right hand, which was almost bursting open by the violent and annihilating power and covered with ferocious Dao patterns!
With his five fingers spread, he no longer unleashed the power of annihilation, but rather, with an almost self-destructive resolve, fiercely aimed at the core of the chaotic Dao embryo vortex in his dantian, which was spinning wildly and devouring everything—

It's inserted!

"Pfft!"

It wasn't the sound of flesh and blood tearing apart; it sounded more like the barrier of space being forcibly torn apart!

His hand seemed to grasp his own heart, which was swelling out of control, cold and violent!
Unimaginable pain instantly swept over his soul, far exceeding the limits that his body could endure!

The chaotic vortex struggled and backfired wildly, and the terrifying source of annihilation poured up his arm like billions of ice needles, trying to freeze and tear him apart completely!
But he gripped it tightly!
A faint fluctuation originating from the Starry Sky Forger's mark and his own indomitable will to protect it forcefully suppressed the rampaging vortex core!
"Give me—draw it!"

Yu Changsheng let out a dying, beast-like roar from his throat!
He no longer suppressed! He no longer resisted!

Instead, he used his own mutilated body as a fuse and the nearly shattered Guixu Compass in his sea of ​​consciousness as a central hub to forcefully guide it!

The purifying and life-giving power contained within the Emerald Lotus Embryo, which was being corrupted and eroded by the Devouring Mother Nest and was on the verge of collapse, along with the insidious and pure void-corroding power of the Mother Nest... together with the violent and filthy source of annihilation within his own body, and the endless resentment of the lingering souls below...

Guide them all toward the same goal!
Not an enemy! Rather—it is the core of this Origin Monument space!
It's not that floating spacetime fragment projection!
Rather, it was the colossal, ancient, and oppressive dark gold law monument atop the filthy earth below, radiating the heaviest and most sorrowful aura of suppression!

That colossal monument, whose foundation is connected to the most twisted limbs of sacrificial offerings!

boom--!!!
A beam of light, indescribably viscous in color and containing countless extreme conflicting forces of purification, vitality, destruction, resentment, corrosion, and annihilation, erupted violently, using Yu Changsheng's right arm, which was gripping the core of the Dao Embryo, as a bridge and the lotus embryo in his arms, which was violently struggling and corrupted, as a fuse!
The beam of light tore through the viscous space, ignoring distance, and struck the base of the core monument with fierce precision—the place where countless writhing and struggling limbs of the sacrifices converged!
Boom-! ! !
A heavy, booming sound, as if the heart of the entire universe had been struck, suddenly exploded!

Time seemed to stand still for a fraction of a second at that moment.

The central monument trembled violently!

The ancient runes flowing on the monument instantly shone brightest, and then burst forth with dense, spiderweb-like cracks!
A will of annihilation, far more vast and pure than before, imbued with the sedimentation of countless ages, awakened with a deafening roar, like an ancient god who had been desecrated!
This will is cold, vast, and indifferent, carrying an ultimate pressure that judges all things!

It sensed it! It sensed the "foreign object" attacking the core megalith!
I sensed the malevolent blasphemy emanating from the will of the Devouring Nest contained within that pillar of light!

I sensed the violent and turbid energy stirred up by the embryonic form of Yu Changsheng's Dao!

It sensed the "provocation" of the Pure Lotus attempting to purify it!
The pure, unadulterated will to destroy instantly locked onto the source of the pillar of light—Yu Changsheng, the lotus embryo, and the hidden will of the mother nest within!

A gaze, indescribable in words, seemingly condensed from the void itself, existing between existence and nothingness, slowly emanated from the depths of the core monument!

Wherever this gaze passed, space silently vanished, and the laws of nature solidified and collapsed!
It swept towards the tiny Yu Changsheng and the lotus embryo in his arms, carrying the ultimate meaning of ending everything!
The true patrol of the abyss brings forth the primordial will!

Right at the heart of this Origin Monument!
Yu Changsheng's lips curled into a crazed yet resolute grin. The annihilating fire burning in his eyes, under the terrifying pressure of this ultimate gaze, instead condensed to its extreme. He had gambled correctly!

And that completely ignited the last powder keg!
He held the lotus embryo, whose light was changing violently and whose interior was erupting in a fierce battle between purification and pollution, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

Facing that gaze that represents the end of the universe's annihilation, like a moth drawn to the blazing sun, they deliberately crashed themselves and the person in their arms into the cracked foundation of the core monument!
At the same time, his left hand pressed down hard on the restless and turbid lotus embryo. The imperial blood mark on his palm burned again, but instead of injecting life, he frantically pressed everything he had left—his soul, will, desire for life, obsession with protection, and the power of the wild and out-of-control nascent Dao embryo—onto the core of the lotus embryo!

"Forge!"

Yu Changsheng's final roar shook the frozen space.

Not destruction! Not consumption! But—forging!
Use yourself as the furnace! Use the lotus embryo as the mold!
Use the ultimate annihilation power at the core of this Origin Monument as your hammer!

Completely integrate the will of the Devouring Mother Nest into it!
Or, be reduced to nothingness in destruction!
Alternatively, in dire straits, forge something strong enough to withstand this thorny, bloody path...

The Return to Nothingness Dao Embryo!

His body, arcing with resolute determination, crashed headlong into the core monument.

That right hand, covered in Dao patterns and firmly locked in by the gaze of ultimate annihilation, reached out slowly and resolutely towards the deepest and darkest origin of the void where countless writhing limbs converged at the base of the giant monument!
Fingertips are about to touch the ultimate truth of the beginning of the universe.

Or perhaps, it's something that exists within him...

end.

The moment the fingertip touched the base of the monument, time, space, and even thought itself solidified into a piece of cold amber.

There was no cataclysmic collision as expected, nor any bloody disintegration.

There is only one kind... absolute "nothingness".

Yu Changsheng's consciousness was as if it had been thrown into the singularity before the birth of the universe, unable to perceive any dimension, any existence, or even the concept of "nothingness" itself had disappeared.

He seemed to have become part of that absolute silence, his own existence being rapidly assimilated and diluted by this origin of "nothingness".

However, within this absolute sense of annihilation, a deeper and more vast torrent of information disregarded the boundaries of the senses, directly imprinting itself on the core of his collapsing consciousness. Or rather, it imprinted itself on the nascent chaotic Dao embryo that was entangled with his soul and had intended to drag him into annihilation!

This is not language, nor is it a picture; it is the pure manifestation of the "Tao".

He saw a vast, turbulent "source sea" that defied description.

Within the Source Sea, there is not clear, life-giving water, but an endless, chaotic current of laws that annihilate and regenerate each other—before chaos was divided and yin and yang were separated, annihilation and creation were like two intertwined snakes, fighting and merging in the boiling "Source".

Each collision shatters into a cloud of nascent stardust, and each annihilation collapses into a silent black dot.

He saw a blurry yet majestic figure standing above the raging waves of the Origin Sea, using his body as a boat and his soul as a rudder, struggling to guide a massive, dark torrent that made the stars tremble—a torrent purely condensed from the will of "Return to Silence"!

Where the torrent passed, the boiling primordial sea "calmed down," and the laws changed from chaotic and violent to relatively clear and orderly. But beneath that calm was a deeper stillness, a cold, irreversible march of entropy.

This is the true meaning of the origin of "Returning to the Void" – not confrontation, not reversal, but opening up a relatively gentle flood discharge channel in the torrent of the universe that is bound to heat death!
The destructive power of disorder is partially transformed into the cornerstone of building a new order, much like digging a channel in a raging flood to delay the arrival of the flood peak and buy time for life to breathe.

The foundry succeeded, and it failed.

He successfully forged the embryo, but due to exhaustion, he transformed into a shell, sealing the embryo along with the "Seed of the Abyss" that had initially been guided there.

However, this embryo, which has undergone countless epochs of sedimentation and absorbed the remains of countless victims and the source of the annihilation of wills, has long since gestated an independent and greedy will within the seal.

It is no longer satisfied with simply channeling; it craves control. It wants to become the new "source of flood peaks" and a true "patrolman"!
Yu Changsheng's current predicament is that of the embryonic will and the "Seed of the Abyss" that was initially sealed!

This torrent of information originating from the "Source" is both the ultimate legacy left by the creators of the Starry Sky and the "qualification judgment" of the Origin Monument space for its intruders—can you understand, bear, and fulfill the destiny of this "flood releaser"?
"Ughhhhhh—!"

A scream, not from the body but from the deepest part of consciousness, suddenly erupted!
Just as Yu Changsheng's consciousness was immersed in the profound meaning of "Source" and the nascent Dao embryo was passively absorbing this ultimate Dao essence, the Devouring Void Mother Nest will, which was hidden in the core of the lotus embryo and was locked by the core will of the Origin Monument and was in a state of panic and madness, launched its final and most vicious counterattack!
It knew it could not resist the impending gaze of annihilation, nor could it resist Yu Changsheng, who was receiving the inheritance.

It transformed all its remaining power into billions of invisible, sharp mouthparts that tore through the very essence of space. Instead of trying to contaminate the lotus embryo, it... suicidally stabbed into the core of the lotus embryo, into Chen Xueqing's fragile, almost transparent life imprint!
It wants to destroy Yu Changsheng's only anchor! To make him completely sink into annihilation, turning him into an embryo or a puppet of the Abyss Envoy! Just to unleash its final malice before ultimate destruction!

Om-! ! !
The emerald lotus embryo suddenly burst forth with a blinding light! It was no longer pure emerald gold, but a pale white mixed with despair and a filthy blackish purple!

The surface of the lotus embryo rippled violently, like a boiling water sac, and jagged cracks spread out instantly!
"Xueqing!!!"

The obsession with protection was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely scalding Yu Changsheng's consciousness, which was immersed in the profound meaning of the "Source"! The grandeur and coldness brought by the inheritance were instantly replaced by a soul-tearing pain and fear!
He clearly "saw" that inside the lotus embryo, the bluish-white light representing Chen Xueqing flickered violently like a candle in the wind, under the frantic stabbing of countless void maws. The light dimmed rapidly, and the edges began to break and dissipate!

A fear a billion times greater than his own annihilation gripped his heart like a giant, icy hand! (End of Chapter)
