Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

Chapter 658: Sparks Rekindled, Primordial Darkness, Inner Fire Unextinguished

"Finally here." Ye Zun's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Xu Xian turned around and saw Qin Wang, shrouded in black mist, standing at the door. His right eye was completely black. "Brother, do you know what this is?" He gently stroked the surface of the heart. "This is the incarnation of evil left behind by the First Supreme, the purest source of chaos."

Xu Xian suddenly understood everything: "You deliberately led us here"

"Right!" Ye Zun snapped his fingers, controlling Qin Wang's body. The chains on the black heart suddenly snapped, and a tentacle pierced Xu Xian like a spear. "As a reward, you'll be the first to be devoured!"

The Heaven-Cutting Sword automatically blocked, but with a "crack" sound, cracks appeared on the blade. Xu Xian was thrown against the wall by the huge impact, breaking three ribs. He coughed up blood and looked at Ye Zun: "You are not the Fifth Supreme"

"That piece of trash?" Ye Zun sneered and inserted his hand into the black heart. "It's just my snack." As the energy from the heart poured in, the gray-gold light in Qin Wang's left eye grew weaker and weaker. "Now, it's time to let the universe see true chaos."

The black heart contracted violently, releasing a massive black tide. The few surviving elders were instantly submerged. Before Zhou Mu turned to bones, he threw his life-saving magic weapon at Xu Xian: "Alliance leader, take this. Haotian Mirror."

The moment Xu Xian caught the bronze mirror, it reflected a scene that made his heart stop—Ye Zun's true form was not a product of chaos at all, but a miniature version of the First Generation Supreme! The gray-gold seed, regarded as a treasure by everyone, was actually a prison for the First Generation's kindness.

"So that's how it is." Xu Xian smiled bitterly. He looked at Qin Wang, who was about to be completely eroded, and made a decision.

The Sword of Heavenly Cutter turned upside down, and the tip of the sword pierced into his Dantian. This action made Ye Zun stunned for a moment: "Brother wants to commit suicide?"

"No." Xu Xian forced all his blood and energy into the sword, "It's to kill evil."

The sword shattered, transforming into thousands of points of light that merged into Xu Xian's body. His skin began to crack, revealing a blazing white light beneath—this was the forbidden technique of transforming oneself into a heart sword, the "God-Slaying Technique" recorded in the notes of Wenquxingjun.

Ye Zun finally changed color: "Are you crazy?! This will make your soul fly away!"

"It's worth it." Xu Xian transformed into a beam of white light that pierced through the black heart. In the earth-shattering explosion, the connection between Ye Zun and Qin Wang was forcibly severed.

The chaotic space began to collapse. Xu Xian's shattered consciousness drifted in the void, watching Qin Wang's soul fall from the black mist. He tried to reach out, but found his form dissipating.

"Brother!" Qin Wang's cry seemed to echo through the water. The last thing Xu Xian saw was a gray-gold tear rolling down his left eye, and Ye Zun's regrouping figure not far away.
Qin Wang knelt in the collapsed star core space, with Xu Xian's body in his arms turning into light. Ye Zun laughed shrilly not far away: "How touching! It's a pity that my brother died in vain. The mother nest has already..."

"Shut up." Qin Wang's voice was soft, yet it shook the entire space. The gray-gold light in his left eye suddenly grew stronger, while the pitch-black light in his right eye began to fade.

Ye Zun was shocked to find himself melting: "How could you..."

"Brother, you taught me something with your life." Qin Wang gently put down Xu Xian's gradually transparent body. "Chaos and order are one." He took the initiative to reach out and grab Ye Zun. "And you are just the missing part of me."

The terrifying fusion began. Ye Zun screamed and struggled, but he could not resist the pull of the origin. When the last trace of black mist merged into Qin Wang's right eye, the vertical mark between his eyebrows was fully formed - the left half was gray-gold, the right half was pitch black.

The Star Chain Array suddenly stopped, and the spiritual turmoil in the seventeen realms ceased simultaneously. All the survivors heard a voice echoing between heaven and earth:
I am balance, and I am also chaos.

Zhou Mu struggled to his feet from the ruins of the main altar. He watched as the Star Chain Array in the sky began to reorganize, the seventeen realms rearranging into a perfect ring. At the center of the formation, a familiar figure slowly emerged—a gray-gold robe fluttering in the wind, its eyes imbued with the rhythm of the universe's birth and death.

"Qin Supreme?"

The figure looked down at the light that was about to dissipate, and reached out to lightly touch it. The light immediately stabilized and turned into a crystal seed that fell into the palm of his hand.

"Brother, this time it's my turn to wait for your return."

The Star Chain Array was reorganized, and peace returned to the Seventeen Realms. However, within the ruins of the Star Alliance headquarters, countless cultivators were still immersed in the shock of surviving the catastrophe.

Qin Wang—or rather, the current balancer of chaos and order—stood suspended in the void, his gray-gold robe shimmering with a mysterious sheen under the starlight. His left eye blazed like the sun, his right as deep as the abyss. The two-toned vertical mark between his eyebrows flickered faintly, as if imbued with the ultimate truth of the universe.

Zhou Mu endured his injuries and looked up at the figure, feeling both awe and unfamiliarity in his heart.

"Supreme Qin..." he murmured in a low voice.

Qin Wang's gaze slowly swept across the devastated Star Alliance headquarters, and finally landed on the crystal seed in his palm - it was the final manifestation of Xu Xian's spiritual consciousness, faintly but tenaciously flashing with light.

"Brother, you made the right bet," he said softly, "Balance is the true path to supremacy."

As he finished speaking, he folded his fingers together, and the seed, enveloped in a gray-gold halo, slowly sank into his palm. Instantly, the Star Chain Array trembled slightly, and the spiritual veins of the seventeen realms seemed to resonate with it for a moment.

"What is he doing?" a monk asked in a low voice.

"He is... integrating Alliance Leader Xu Xian's consciousness into the Star Chain Formation." Zhou Mu took a deep breath, "Using Alliance Leader Xu's soul as a guide, he will restore the balance of the heavenly rules."

As expected, as the seed completely merged into Qin Wang's body, every spiritual vein in the Star Chain Array glowed with a faint white light, as if injected with new vitality. And the dark marks that had been eroded by chaos were slowly repairing.

However, just when everyone thought everything was settled——

"Crack!"

A slight cracking sound came from Qin Wang's right eye.

Deep in the pupil of his right eye, a wisp of black mist quietly surged and disappeared in an instant.

Qin Wang frowned slightly, pressed his right eye with his left hand, and a wisp of black air flowed out from between his fingers.

"As expected... it still can't be completely erased?" He whispered with a hint of coldness in his voice.

After all, a part of Ye Zun's consciousness still remained.

"Qin Wang!" Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the ruins.

Qin Wang turned his head and saw Guan Hui staggering to her feet. Half of her body was still corroded by chaos, but her eyes were unusually clear.

"Guan Hui? You are still alive?" Zhou Mu asked in surprise.

Guan Hui didn't answer, but stared at Qin Wang intently: "Can you maintain the balance that Xu Xian paid for with his life?"

Qin Wang was silent for a moment, and the black energy in his right eye slowly subsided.

"I will hold on," he said calmly, "no matter what the cost."

Guan Hui sneered, and suddenly raised her hand. A broken copper coin flew out from her sleeve - it was the "Yin Yang Questioning Coin" that once controlled her!
“Then look at this!”

The copper coin exploded in mid-air, transforming into countless tiny black runes that instantly spread across the entirety of the Star Alliance headquarters. The runes intertwined, unexpectedly forming a star map—but unlike the Star Chain Array, this map had the positions of the seventeen realms all jumbled, its spiritual veins twisted like snakes, and at its center, a pitch-black egg hovered!
"What?!" Zhou Mu was shocked. "Hasn't the Chaos Egg been destroyed?"

Qin Wang's pupils suddenly contracted. "No, this isn't the Egg of Chaos..." he said in a low voice, "This is... the 'Primordial Chaos' sealed by the First Supreme Being."

Blood trickled from the corner of Gou Hui's mouth, yet he laughed maniacally: "You think Night Lord was truly devoured by you? No, he's just waiting—waiting for the Star Chain Array to completely stabilize, waiting for the spiritual veins of the Seventeen Realms to reconnect, waiting for the 'Primordial Chaos' to awaken!"

Before she finished speaking, her body suddenly disintegrated and dissipated into black mist. And where she disappeared, a wisp of black air shot out like a venomous snake and went straight into Qin Wang's right eye!
"Ugh--!" Qin Wang groaned, and his right eye was instantly occupied by black mist.

The Star Chain Array trembled violently, and the spiritual veins that had just stabilized became disordered again!

"Oh no..." Zhou Mu's face turned pale, "Ye Zun is not dead at all, he is just... dormant in the body of Guan Hui!"

Qin Wang's right eye was completely dark, while the gray-gold light in his left eye was flickering wildly, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

"Brother..." he gritted his teeth and whispered, "It seems... we have to fight another battle..."

Qin Wang's figure swayed slightly in the void, the black mist in his right eye kept swirling, and the gray-gold light in his left eye was like a candle in the wind, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The monks at the Star Alliance headquarters watched this scene in horror, and no one dared to approach.

"Elder Zhou...what should we do?" a young monk asked in a trembling voice.

Zhou Mu stared at Qin Wang intently, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Form a formation! Protect the spiritual vein nodes of the Star Chain Formation!"

"What? But Supreme Qin—"

"He's not Qin Supreme now!" Zhou Mu shouted, "Ye Zun is eroding his consciousness. If he succeeds, the Star Chain Array will completely become a hotbed of chaos! We must buy time!"

Upon hearing this, the monks immediately dispersed to various locations throughout the main altar, using their own spiritual energy to stabilize their spiritual veins. However, the scale of the Star Chain Formation was so vast that their own strength alone was merely a drop in the bucket.

Qin Wang's struggles grew more intense, the black mist in his right eye even beginning to spread to half his body. His left hand tightly gripped his right wrist, as if trying to prevent some kind of force from erupting.

"Ye Zun...don't even think about it..." he growled.

"Why resist?" Ye Zun's voice came from his body, with a sarcastic smile, "You and I are one. Chaos is the truth of the universe."

"Shut up!" Qin Wang's left eye suddenly shone with golden light, forcing the black fog back a little.

However, at this moment——

“Boom—!”

The ground of the entire Star Alliance headquarters suddenly cracked, and a pitch-black abyss appeared out of nowhere! From beneath the abyss, creepy whispers came, as if some ancient being was awakening.

"Original Chaos..." Zhou Mu's face turned pale, "It's coming out!"

Qin Wang raised his head suddenly, his left eye gleaming like a torch: "No... we must not let it happen!"

He suddenly raised his hand, and the spiritual veins of the Star Chain Array vibrated like the strings of a guitar. The spiritual power of the seventeen realms gathered together frantically, condensing into a gray-gold giant sword in his palm - the ultimate form of the Sword of Cutting the Sky!
"You want to cut through the abyss?" Ye Zun sneered, "It's useless. The primordial chaos is invisible and intangible. You can't hurt it!"

Qin Wang did not answer, but raised the giant sword high, with the tip pointing straight to the sky.

"This sword is not for severing chaos..." he whispered, "but for... opening the sky!"

The sword falls!

The gray-gold sword light penetrated the sky and earth, and the projections of the seventeen realms of the Star Chain Array all lit up at this moment. Countless spiritual veins were interwoven into a network, and a passage was actually opened up in the void!

"What?!" Ye Zun's voice was filled with panic for the first time. "Are you crazy?! You want to banish the primordial chaos to the void?!"

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Qin Wang's mouth, but he sneered: "Didn't you say that chaos is the truth of the universe? Then I will let it... return to the void!"

At the end of the tunnel lay endless darkness and nothingness. The whispers from the abyss suddenly turned into angry roars, and a dark force surged into the tunnel like a tide, attempting to resist the suction.

"No! Don't even think about it!" Ye Zun was completely furious. Qin Wang's right arm was instantly corroded by the black mist and raised up uncontrollably, trying to forcibly break the sword!
At the critical moment——

"Junior brother, I'm still here."

A gentle voice sounded in Qin Wang's sea of ​​consciousness.

Xu Xian's spiritual seed, at this moment... awakened!

The moment Xu Xian's voice resonated in Qin Wang's sea of ​​consciousness, a ray of pure white light blossomed from his dantian, like the breaking dawn, piercing the swirling black fog. Qin Wang's left eye shone with golden light, while the darkness in his right eye receded like a tide.

"Senior Brother?" Qin Wang was shocked.

"I've never left." Xu Xian's consciousness transformed into a shadow and appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness. He was dressed in white, whiter than snow, and his eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as before. "Ye Zun can hide in the body of Guan Hui, and I can also hide in the Star Chain Formation - after all, this is the path you and I built together."

Above the Star Alliance headquarters, the pitch-black abyss continued to twist and expand. The whispers of primordial chaos transformed into tangible black ripples, shattering space wherever they passed. Zhou Mu spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the formation flag red. He roared, "All cultivators, listen! Use your spirits as a guide to help Supreme Qin stabilize the passage!"

Thousands of spiritual energy beams shot up into the sky, like meteors merging into the giant sword in Qin Wang's hand. The sword trembled and burst into a dazzling light, and the boundary of the void passage began to solidify.

"Ridiculous!" Ye Zun's voice came from Qin Wang's body, with a biting chill, "Do you think that you can rely on these ants-"

"They are not ants." Xu Xian's phantom suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against Qin Wang's chest. Strands of silvery-white threads emerged from each node of the Star Chain Array. "This is the 'Heavenly Rule Lock,' which the God of Literature exchanged his life for. It is the karma of three thousand years of cultivation by beings from the seventeen realms, and even more so—" He lightly tapped his fingertip, and something suddenly flew out of Qin Wang's arms—the balancing coin that had once been branded on Xu Xian's wrist—" the ties you severed with your own hands.

The copper coin hovered between Qin Wang's eyebrows, and fine cracks appeared on its half-white and half-black surface. Ye Zun suddenly let out a shrill scream: "No! This is the First Generation Supreme's—"

"That's right." Xu Xian's shadow faded, but his voice became clearer. "Back then, the First Supreme separated good and evil. Evil thoughts turned into primordial chaos, and good thoughts forged this coin. Junior Brother, do you understand now why it can balance chaos?"

Qin Wang's pupils shrank. The moment the copper coin shattered, he saw a vast sea of ​​memories—the First Supreme was not one person, but twins! The incarnation of good thoughts created the Star Chain Array, while the incarnation of evil thoughts gave birth to the Primordial Chaos. And Ye Zun was actually a fragment of the evil incarnation!
"I see." The black mist in Qin Wang's right eye surged wildly, and Ye Zun's consciousness struggled with fear. "Have you calculated this long ago?"

Xu Xian didn't answer. His shadow transformed into countless points of light, drifting like snowflakes to every corner of the Star Chain Array. At the same time, the copper coin fragments burst into a dazzling silver light, carving a brand new pattern between Qin Wang's eyebrows—a circular chain wrapped around a two-colored vertical pupil, like shackles, but also like a crown.

"What is this?" Zhou Mu looked up at the strange changes in the sky.

"The Supreme Shackles." Qin Wang lightly touched his brow, feeling the immense sealing power within. "The ultimate authority to imprison evil thoughts, using the initial good intentions as a prison." (End of Chapter)
