Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 619

In the netherworld, beside the Well of Reincarnation.

The newly appointed King Qin Guang, Lu Ziqing, was pale-faced and was struggling to control the Pool of Karmic Thoughts to transform into the Elixir of Relief, resisting the impact of the Avici Miasma.

The resentment of countless benevolent souls at the appeal platform was already boiling amidst the despair of a shattered mirror of the mortal world and obstructed reincarnation.

Lu Ziqing's comforting story, filled with simple sincerity, underwent a strange transformation at this moment, as the will of resistance of all living beings was transmitted through the Star Network.

The benevolent souls recall not only their own grievances, but also the warmth they experienced in their lives and their faint hopes for the next life.

These scattered and faint thoughts of kindness and conviction, inspired by the flame of sincerity of the Star Network, were ignited and transformed into specks of warm white light. Though not intense, they possessed an unyielding resilience and flowed into the torrent of faith.

The core of the abyss. The other end of the scales is no longer empty.

The unwavering prayers of mortals in the Three Realms, the pure moonlight power of the Ascension Platform, the sincere fire ignited by the demon race's tempering of malevolence, the faint light of reincarnation ignited by benevolent souls in the netherworld... Several torrents of beliefs representing the core desires of all beings in the Three Realms, transcended the barriers of time and space, and were forcibly gathered and forged through the great power of the scales of the heart!
On the scale pan, a flame that cannot be accurately described by color suddenly burst into flame!
It lacks the tyranny of the purplish-black demonic flames of the corrupt world, but contains a profound and inclusive nature like the creation of the world. It is the ultimate form of the "fire of sincerity" formed by the convergence of countless tiny wills—the flame of all living beings!
Boom!

The moment the flames of all living beings were formed, they crashed violently into the giant claws of the defiled demons of the world!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a violent annihilation and a silent wail at the level of laws.

Where the demonic flames and the tinder came into contact, the space rippled like the surface of water where a pebble had been thrown in, leaving countless fine ripples—the marks of the laws being forcibly rewritten and redefined.

The giant claws of the evil demon were forcefully stopped and could not advance any further!

The demonic flames relentlessly eroded the tinder, and the faith of all living beings was constantly being consumed by the filth of the demonic flames, causing them to cry out in anguish.

The heartbeat, caught between two extreme forces, was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, teetering on the brink of collapse.

At this critical moment, when the light membrane of the heart core had already developed tiny cracks—

hum...

A soft sigh, seemingly from the ages and the deepest part of the heart, echoed within the chaotic core on the verge of shattering.

The pulse paused eerily for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a blurry yet incredibly clear phantom slowly emerged from the crack in the core.

It was neither a golden-armored saint nor an arrogant demon king. The figure carried a weariness and clarity that came from having experienced countless tribulations and seen through the ups and downs of life. It was the manifestation of Sun Wukong's last remaining will!
His eyes opened and closed, his gaze piercing through the turbulent purple-black demonic flames of the corrupt world's inner demons, directly targeting the core of the corrupted and distorted origin of the Douluo Purple Flame.

"Humph……"

The phantom of Sun Wukong let out a low, all-knowing laugh. The voice was not loud, but it was like a great bell, resounding throughout the abyss and even reaching the hearts of every struggling creature through the Star Network: "You wretched creature, baring your fangs and brandishing your claws, what a grand display! You may fool others with your rebellious act against the Heavenly Dao, but you can't fool me, Old Sun!"

He raised his illusory finger, pointing directly at the terrifying core of the Demon of the Decaying World, a fusion of countless negative wills, his tone tinged with a mocking pity: "What enemy of Heaven? Nonsense! You are not an enemy of Heaven, but rather the manifestation of the mental obstacles of all beings! It is the poison of greed, anger, and ignorance, the fear of the new and attachment to the old, the inability to relinquish power, and the fear of the unknown! It is the illusion that even I, Old Sun, could not fully comprehend back then! You stole the essence of the Purple Fire to form your body, and gathered the dark side of the Three Realms to power, seemingly intending to destroy the world, but in reality... you are nothing more than the karmic obstacles in the hearts of all beings, taking advantage of this transition between the old and the new to have a final burst of light, a death throes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like thunder exploding!

Yang Jian was deeply shaken, and the silver light in his third eye flickered erratically.

Sun Wukong's words, spoken with regret, instantly cleared up many of the obstacles in his mind.

The countless precedents of the Temple of Law, the insights gained from the judgments of the heart, the confusion in the face of the conflict between the old and new orders... all become clear at this moment!
The law is not a cold, ironclad rule; it needs compassion as a guide to lead people toward good!

This "emotion" is the key to accommodating, guiding, and transforming those endless mental obstacles!
"Yang Jian!" Sun Wukong's illusory gaze fell upon the God of Justice. "Stop clinging to brute force! The mental barriers are like vines, impossible to sever! Form a 'cocoon'! Use the 'law' of inclusiveness to contain the raging torrent! Lu Ziqing's new laws are the catalyst; that brat Jin's Dao seed is the furnace; those four words on the Ten Thousand Laws Stele... are the foundation!"

Yang Jian instantly understood!

He mustered his last bit of divine power, and the scales of his heart shone brightly. They were no longer fighting against the evil demons of the world, but instead transformed into an invisible shuttle of laws!
"Using the law!"

His divine sense pierced through the netherworld and instantly locked onto Lu Ziqing by the Well of Reincarnation.

As Lu Ziqing struggled to maintain the Karmic Pool, the phantom of the revised Yin Law Code, which blended emotion, reason, and law, suddenly lit up in his mind. Countless legal talismans embodying the principle of "combining emotion and law" were forcibly extracted by the power of the Heart Scales and transformed into chains of order flowing with warm white light, crossing space!

"Merge!"

Yang Jian's divine sense turned to Jin in Beiju Luzhou.

The Chaos Dao Seed mark between Jin's eyebrows lit up in response, and a chaotic primordial aura that encompassed all things and refined all evil was extracted. It was not used for attack, but transformed into a hazy, yet infinitely vibrant, chaotic vortex!
"Returning to the Source of Daoist Charm!"

Yang Jian's divine sense ultimately pierced the Myriad Laws Stele of the Ascension Platform.

On the stele, the four ancient seal characters "different paths lead to the same destination" seem to have been awakened. Having undergone the erosion of turbid air and the purification of the wishes of all living beings, they now exude an unprecedentedly clear and serene Taoist charm.

That is neither pure Tao nor pure Buddha, but a kind of radiant law that has been sublimated after collision, tearing and healing, pointing to the ultimate harmony!

Guided by the power of the scales of the heart, this radiance merged into the chaotic vortex!

The three forces, under Yang Jian's forceful forging with the scales of his heart as a furnace and the flames of all living beings as fuel, inexplicably intertwined and merged!
Lu Ziqing's new law chains represent the order of sentient beings, serving as the framework; Jin's chaotic Dao seed vortex represents containment and transformation, serving as the inner essence; the "different paths lead to the same destination" Dao rhyme of the Myriad Laws Stele represents the ultimate direction of harmony, serving as the essence!

A cocoon of laws—vast, hazy, flowing with chaotic colors, its surface entwined with runes of order, and its core shimmering with the radiance of "all paths leading to the same source"—was instantly formed before the giant claws of the corrupting demons of the world, enveloped by the flames of all living beings!
The moment the cocoon of laws appeared, it did not unleash destructive power, but instead generated a strange attraction that was almost like the "Tao".

The giant claws of the Demon of the Filthy World, which were fiercely slashing down, and the turbulent source of the polluted purple fire at its core, seemed to have encountered their destined nemesis. They were uncontrollably pulled and sucked towards the seemingly flexible cocoon wall!
"Do not--!"

For the first time, the Demon of the Filthy World let out a roar that was not one of destruction, but a howl filled with fear and resentment.

Its massive demonic body struggled violently, its demonic flames raging, as it tried to tear through the star network to escape.

However, the three profound meanings contained in the Cocoon of Laws—"the interplay of emotion and law," "inclusive transformation," and "different paths leading to the same destination"—perfectly address its essence as an "aggregate of the mental obstacles of all beings"!

The new law chains entwine its demonic body, binding its malevolent energy; the chaotic vortex wears away its filth, transforming its karma; and the Daoist rhyme of "returning to the source through different paths" continuously dismantles the "core of obsession" within it that is mutually conflicting and supports its existence!
The demonic claws first sank into the cocoon, then into the churning core of the demonic body!

The corrupted inner demon struggled frantically, its polluted origin of the Douluo Purple Flame clashing violently with the chaotic Dao seed power and the Dao rhythm of returning to the source within the cocoon of laws. This erupted into a chaotic energy current powerful enough to tear apart a small world, yet it was firmly bound within the cocoon walls. The cocoon trembled violently, its surface showing countless protrusions and depressions, as if it might burst open at any moment.

Just as the cocoon of laws was about to burst due to the violent internal conflict—

In the core of the abyss, two long-dormant supreme primordial forces were completely awakened by the ultimate collision of the old and new laws.

Two blurry yet supremely majestic phantoms silently appeared on either side of the chaotic core.

The illusory figure to the left exudes a tranquil and effortless aura, shrouded in purple mist—it is none other than the Supreme Dao Ancestor!
The illusory figure on the right, with a solemn and dignified appearance and restrained golden light, is none other than the Tathagata Buddha!
Their gazes pierced through the cocoon of laws, landing on the corrupted, distorted origin of the Douluo Purple Flame, which was clashing violently with the remaining golden light of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

In two pairs of eyes that had seen through the vicissitudes of time, a complex and incomprehensible emotion flashed simultaneously—a longing for the old order they represented, a sorrow for the out-of-control origin, and an ultimate recognition of the newly born chaotic core and the indomitable will of all living beings.

"Ugh……"

A long sigh, seemingly from eternity ago, yet also echoing through countless ages.

The Supreme Illusion raised its hand, and a point of the purest and most pristine core of the Douluo Purple Flame was separated from its illusory form. With a resolute determination to sever ties with the past, it transformed into a pure purple light and shot towards the polluted purple flame within the Cocoon of Laws!
At the same time, the illusory image of Tathagata also flicked his finger, and a point of golden light from the source of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, which contained the meaning of great compassion and great liberation, was also separated and shot towards the golden power that was fiercely fighting against the polluted purple fire!

"I will sacrifice this crippled body to help you return to your source!"

Two supreme voices overlapped, resounding throughout the origin of the Three Realms.

The pure essence of the Purple Flame of Doushuai was poured in, like sweet rain falling on scorched earth.

The core of the purple fire, heavily polluted by resentment, spiritual plague, and endless miasma, was like stubborn iron thrown into a furnace. Under the pure power of the same origin, the filth was forcibly stripped away and burned away, and the true attributes of "fire"—its heat, agility, and ability to refine all things—began to revive!
At the same time, the golden light emanating from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, carrying the purest power of salvation and liberation in Buddhism, did not destroy, but gently enveloped and soothed the violent obsessions and endless resentment belonging to the "mental obstacles of sentient beings" in the polluted purple fire, eliminating its malevolence and guiding it back to peace.

With the self-sacrifice of the two supreme core principles of Buddhism and Taoism, the violent conflict within the cocoon suddenly subsided!
The polluted purple flames of Doushuai have shed their filth and regained their pure purple origin; the golden power that fiercely fought against them has also extinguished its last obsession and transformed into pure light.

The purple flames and golden light ceased their confrontation and, guided by the "Return to Origin" Daoist rhyme and the aura of the Chaos Dao Seed within the Cocoon of Laws, began to slowly rotate and merge like yin and yang fish!
Wisps of chaotic-colored flames were born at the point where purple and gold met.

It is neither the fire of Tao nor the flame of Buddha. It contains the natural evolution of Tao, the compassionate salvation of Buddha, the sincere will of all beings, and the all-encompassing nature of the beginning of chaos!
This is the true—the fire of return!
The moment the Flame of Origin was born, the Cocoon of Laws silently dissolved.

That newly formed chaotic flame, carrying a gentle yet boundless vitality, drifted lightly towards the shattered chaotic core, like a weary bird returning to its nest, and gently merged into it.

boom! ! !
The entire Three Realms seemed to have been stabilized by a magic needle.

The violently trembling star network instantly stabilized, and billions of light and dark threads seemed to be injected with new vitality, becoming more solid and resilient, flowing with chaotic luster, and transforming into the Origin Star Network that covers the three realms!
The pulsation of the Chaos Core became strong and steady, each beat like the drumbeat of the laws, accompanied by the pulse of the Origin Star Network, imprinting the new laws, which integrate the essence of the old and the will of all living beings, into every inch of space, every wisp of spiritual energy, and the depths of the blood and soul of every living being in the Three Realms!

The phantoms of Laozi and Buddha revealed expressions of relief the moment the Returning Source Fire merged into their cores.

Their figures quickly became transparent, and the last trace of primordial Daoist essence that constituted the phantoms, like a candle flickering in the wind, completely dissipated into the light of the Returning Origin Star Network.

There was no tragedy, only a peaceful sense of mission ending and the torch being passed on.

Their disappearance symbolizes the complete end of the old order of divine authority, which was centered on the absolute power of gods and immortals, after taking the final step in promoting the birth of the new order.

After this.

The dawn of a new era arrives in the radiance of the reforged laws:
Southern Jambudvipa, the edge of scorched earth.

The pointer of the Star Pulse Compass in Mo Yan's hand stabilized and emitted a pleasant hum.

Before him, the scorched earth, under the pulse of the Returning Origin Star Network, was slowly reviving the depleted life force deep within the earth's veins.

With a sudden thought, he tried to communicate with the earth's veins through a compass, guiding them to gently nourish the soil.

In the distance, several courageous ordinary farmers, after witnessing the miracle of the star network, subconsciously reached out their hands, attempting to draw upon the now docile and approachable power of the earth's veins.

A faint, vibrant, earthy-yellow spiritual stream, guided clumsily by them, actually seeped into the cracks at the edge of the scorched earth.

A tender green shoot stubbornly pushes through the scorched black soil, welcoming the sunlight of the new era.

Outside the barrier of the Huali Academy in Beiju Luzhou.

The raging demon army seemed to be paused the moment the Guiyuan Star Network was deployed.

The raging demonic power surged within him, yet was permeated by the omnipresent, gentle yet resilient power of the star network.

A wolf demon that had previously howled in pain due to a conflict of demonic power was now slowly channeling its rampaging ferocity toward its front paws, guided by the star network.

He subconsciously clenched his claws, and with a hissing sound, a weak but steady ball of crimson-gold flame—the flame of sincerity transformed from his own malevolent energy—leaped in his palm!
He stared blankly at the flames, a look of astonishment and a hint of... a desire to control his own power appearing in his ferocious eyes for the first time.

The underworld, the well of reincarnation.

The filthy vortex quickly subsided after the Returning Star Network stabilized.

In the pool of karmic thoughts of all beings, the impurities of the polluted Relief Elixir are quickly dissolved, and it once again exudes a gentle aura that nourishes reincarnation.

The newly appointed King Qin Guang, Lu Ziqing, watched this scene with a weary yet gratified expression, the illusory image of the new Yin Law Code in his hand seemingly solidifying a bit.

The core of the abyss.

Yang Jian's divine avatar looked at the pulsating, perfectly integrated chaotic core that was fused with the Guiyuan Star Network, and felt the new power of the laws flowing within it. He let out a long, silent breath.

The severely injured divine body swayed precariously, but its gaze was more resolute than ever before.

The lingering phantom of Sun Wukong, after completing the final enlightenment, seemed to nod slightly in the direction of Yang Jian before completely merging into the light of the Returning Origin Core, leaving no trace.
