Everyone holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? In our great nation of Yanhuang, everyone is a demon c

After the Star Wars, the primordial world returned to a superficial calm, but deep within the earth, the ancient aura was stirring. Rifts quietly formed between heaven and earth, deep and boundless, seemingly leading to another unknown primordial dimension. Guided by the Star Origin Stone, Chen Xiu and the elites of the five races sensed a powerful and mysterious energy surging from the depths of the rifts.

Above the Spirit Hall, Chen Xiu convened a meeting of the five clans. Feng Yan frowned deeply: "Chen Xiu, this rift is extraordinary. The energy fluctuations seem to originate from the most ancient divine realm of the primordial world. If we rashly enter, we may face an inescapable calamity."

Chu Shuang gently stroked her robe. "Ancient texts record that the Primordial Rift is the place where the gods slumber. If the rift were to be fully opened, anyone could be drawn into the vortex of the gods' will, and even the power of the stars would be difficult to resist."

Yan Wuhen gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze sharp as an eagle's: "In that case, we must first uncover the nature of the rift, otherwise the entire prehistoric world will be plunged into an irreversible catastrophe."

Chen Xiu nodded, his eyes resolute: "In any case, this operation must be carried out with caution, but we cannot hesitate either. If the gods awaken, a new era in the primordial world will begin. We cannot simply be bystanders."

The battle team assembled, and Chen Xiu personally led the most elite cultivators from the five races into the rift. Instantly, the light and shadow in the world distorted, and spacetime rippled like water. Chen Xiu felt an ancient and mysterious power pressing down on his soul, as if every step he took was on the destiny of the primordial world.

Within the rift, space stretched infinitely, with ancient ruins and floating, mysterious runes drifting in the void. Each rune emitted a blinding light, as if whispering some ancient language.

“These runes… seem to be fragments of the gods’ memories,” Chu Shuang said softly, her eyes gleaming with awe.

Feng Yan warned in a deep voice: "Be careful, any unintentional touch could trigger a devastating reaction."

Deep within the rift, a colossal temple gradually emerged. Inlaid with multicolored, star-like light, the temple seemed to absorb the energy of the entire rift.

A strange phenomenon surged within Chen Xiu's heart. He sensed a familiar yet powerful aura, which was the last trace of divine power left behind by the Star Lord during the earlier Star Wars.

“This temple… may hold the gate to the awakening of the gods,” Chen Xiu said solemnly. He reached out and touched the temple gate, and immediately countless ancient runes flashed, emitting a deafening roar.

A stream of light shot into the sky, instantly enveloping Chen Xiu. Countless stars twinkled before his eyes, and images of gods appeared in a complex interplay—some with compassionate faces, some with icy indifference, and others radiating an indescribable pressure.

"Welcome, Chen Xiu." A clear and profound voice came from the depths of the temple, as if piercing the soul. "You have passed the Trial of the Stars. Now, it is time for the gods to test you."

Chen Xiu steadied himself. "A test from the gods? I am willing to accept it."

In an instant, his consciousness was drawn into a sea of ​​light. Although the elites of the five races were in the rift, they were isolated by the shield of the Star Origin Stone and were not directly disturbed.

In the sea of ​​light, Chen Xiu felt countless primordial memories flooding into his mind: the battles of ancient gods, the chaos at the beginning of heaven and earth, the birth of stars and souls... Each memory tested his will and comprehension.

"To master the power of the gods, one needs not only formidable cultivation but also profound insight into the origins of the primordial world," the ethereal voice continued. "Are you willing to shoulder the responsibilities of the gods?"

Chen Xiu closed his eyes, his mind resolute: "I am willing! The fate of the primordial world will not allow us to slacken!"

The sea of ​​light suddenly fluctuated violently, and the images of the gods converged into a huge dragon of light, hovering above Chen Xiu's head, its eyes flashing with scrutiny and expectation.

"Chen Xiu, if you can bear the power of the gods, you will become the new guardian of the primordial world. But if you fail, your soul will be trapped in the cycle of the gods forever, never to be reborn."

The dragon's voice was like heavenly music, like thunder, causing the entire rift to resonate. Chen Xiu took a deep breath, mobilizing the power of the Star Origin Stone within his body and channeling it into his soul.

In an instant, his body transformed into a pillar of starlight, piercing through the sea of ​​light and the temple. The power of the gods surged within him, as if to tear him apart, or as if to cleanse his soul.

Outside, the warriors of the five races witnessed the temple's shimmering light and were deeply shaken. Feng Yan whispered, "Chen Xiu is undergoing the trials of the gods. Once he masters this power, the primordial world will usher in an unprecedented evolution."

Chu Shuang's gaze turned solemn: "But if we fail, even the Star Origin Stone might not be able to save him."

Yan Wuhen stood with his sword in hand, silently thinking, "Chen Xiu will definitely pass; he is our only hope."

The sea of ​​light continued to expand, and Chen Xiu's consciousness merged with the gods. He experienced the birth of stars, the rotation of primordial laws, and countless fears and confusions deep within his soul, but each time, he resolved them with unwavering will and wisdom.

"You... possess the heart of the gods," the Light Dragon finally whispered. "From this day forward, the fate of the primordial world will be intertwined with yours."

In an instant, the sea of ​​light shattered, and Chen Xiu stood once again atop the temple, his figure enveloped in boundless starlight, his soul surging with the majesty and wisdom of the gods.

Deep within the rift, the temple collapsed with a deafening roar, but the power of the gods merged with Chen Xiu, becoming a new law deep within his soul.

"The gods have awakened, and the primordial world has entered a new era." Chen Xiu's eyes shone like stars. "The five races are of one mind; we must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the primordial world!"

Feng Yan, Chu Shuang, and Yan Wuhen responded in unison, "Chen Xiu, we will go with you!"

At this moment, in the primordial sky, the rift slowly closed, yet the light still shone like an inverted Milky Way, heralding the arrival of a new era—

The power of the gods has awakened, and the destiny of the primordial world will be written by this generation of guardians. Before dawn, a strange mist of light shrouded the heavens and earth. The aftershocks of the rift had not yet dissipated, and the entire primordial world seemed to be in a state between dream and wakefulness. Chen Xiu stood atop the Spirit Palace, overlooking the Western Wilderness Mountains, his gaze deep and resolute.

"Chen Xiu, how should we proceed with this operation?" Feng Yan asked in a low voice, her eyes filled with barely perceptible tension.

Chen Xiu slowly closed his eyes, feeling the power of the gods pulsating within his body: "There are still unawakened forces lurking in the primordial world, and these forces will affect the future situation. We must first find the secret realm and explore the mysteries left behind by the gods in order to stabilize the new era."

Chu Shuang frowned slightly: "Secret realms... but those places mostly harbor unknown dangers."

Yan Wuhen gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze icy: "The greater the danger, the stronger the power. If we don't explore first, we will be swallowed up by the unknown of the primordial world sooner or later."

Chen Xiu nodded: "That's precisely why we must go first."

The elites of the five races followed Chen Xiu on his journey to the secret realm. Deep within the Western Wilderness Mountains, amidst the rolling peaks, the faint light of ancient runes flickered, as if guiding the path to the secret realm.

“These runes… seem to be recording the footprints of the primordial gods,” Feng Yan said softly. She reached out and touched the runes, instantly feeling a distant and mysterious power flow into her body, which made her soul tremble.

A look of shock flashed in Chu Shuang's eyes: "This is... the wisdom left behind by the gods? No wonder the rift fluctuations are so abnormal."

Chen Xiu said in a deep voice, "We must be careful. This force can help us explore, but it may also devour those who are careless."

Deeper into the mountains, the elites of the five races encountered their first trial—a spatial barrier guarded by an ancient beast spirit. The beast spirit was enormous, its eyes gleaming like clear stars, and it roared, causing waves of vibration to rise in the air.

"Chen Xiu, we must be careful. These beast spirits can sense people's hearts," Yan Wuhen warned in a low voice.

Chen Xiu closed his eyes and channeled the power of the gods. A sphere of starlight condensed in his palm, and with a gentle wave, it poured forth like a galaxy, enveloping the beast spirit. The beast spirit roared, but could not break free from the shackles of the light.

"The power of the gods is not only force, but also suppression and guidance." Chen Xiu murmured to himself, his voice seemingly resonating with the heavens and earth. The sphere of light slowly spread, gradually calming the beast spirits and transforming them into spiritual energy that merged into the surrounding mountains.

Feng Yan exclaimed in surprise: "Chen Xiu... you can actually communicate with beast spirits?"

Chen Xiu nodded: "Understanding their will is more important than simply fighting. The power of the primordial world is not just about strength or weakness, but also about the harmony between the mind and the laws."

After breaking through the first barrier, the scenery deep within the secret realm gradually appeared. Towering crystal forests, shimmering spiritual springs, floating star islands in the air... every step felt like stepping into another dimension.

Chu Shuang reached out and touched the spiritual spring, and the surface of the water reflected an illusion—a primordial scroll painting interwoven with the past, present, and future. Her eyes flashed with surprise and awe: "This...this is actually a time-space secret realm left behind by the gods? Every drop of water is recording the history of the primordial world."

Chen Xiu gazed at the floating island, his eyes gleaming: "It's not just history, but also the potential for the future. Only by mastering the laws of the secret realm can we guide the primordial world towards a new era."

Yan Wuhen said in a low voice, "But the power hidden in the secret realm is enough to destroy us."

Just as everyone was immersed in the mysteries of the secret realm, a sudden disturbance came from the sky. Darkness surged into the secret realm like a tide, carrying a cold and suffocating aura.

"The enemy?" Feng Yan frowned.

Chen Xiu's eyes narrowed, and the power of the gods resonated within him: "Not only enemies, but also an ancient will hidden deep within the primordial world. They have already noticed us."

A vortex split open in the sky, and a dark shadow stretched out like thousands of tentacles, pointing straight at the heart of the secret realm.

Yan Wuhen drew his sword and stood there, coldly declaring, "Any intruder will face the power of the gods!"

Chen Xiu slowly raised his hand, and radiance gathered within his body, surging like a galaxy: "The Primordial Secret Realm is a sacred place left behind by the gods. Anyone who covets it will surely be subject to my control!"

Within the vortex, countless ancient spirit figures slowly emerged, like ghosts traversing time. Their whispers echoed throughout the secret realm: "A mortal body dares to touch the relics of the gods... The primordial world will be changed because of you."

Chen Xiu's expression was cold and stern: "I am not just a mortal, I am the inheritor of the power of the gods, the guardian of the primordial world!"

As he finished speaking, the power of the gods within him erupted like a tidal wave, its radiance enveloping every corner of the secret realm. The spirits were suppressed, and space began to distort and recombine.

Feng Yan, Chu Shuang, and Yan Wuhen also unleashed their full power at the same time, suppressing the dark spirits on the outer edge of the secret realm. The collision of light and darkness caused the mountains to tremble slightly.

In this life-or-death struggle, an ancient temple appeared at the core of the secret realm. At the center of the temple floated a crystal-clear sphere of light, seemingly enveloping the secrets of the primordial world. Chen Xiu's gaze locked onto the sphere, a resolute thought flashing through his mind: "This is... the ultimate mystery left behind by the gods."

Feng Yan exclaimed, "If we can master its power, we will completely solidify the new era of the primordial world."

Chu Shuang said in a deep voice, "But if not handled properly, the primordial world may face an unprecedented catastrophe." (End of this chapter)
