Chapter 998: Reincarnation of Life and Death
Chen Guan continuously absorbed the energy of depletion within the depletion zone. He originally thought it was simply a matter of absorbing depletion energy, and that it would just take time.

However, during the process of absorbing the depleted energy, Chen Guan discovered a strange phenomenon.

His One Secret Realm has always only been able to devour primordial energy, and has no other effect, not even allowing primordial energy to exist within it.

But when Chen Guan absorbed a portion of the depleted energy into the Secret Realm, something miraculous happened.

The Secret Realm, which was originally only capable of absorbing energy, did not absorb depleted energy.

Exhaustion energy is the power of death, so it's normal that the Secret Realm of One can't utilize it. What's truly bizarre is that, because of the existence of exhaustion energy, a portion of the world power that Chen Guan injected into the Secret Realm of One was not absorbed by it.

The total amount of the world power that was not absorbed by the Secret Realm was equivalent to the depleted energy that Chen Guan absorbed into the Secret Realm.

The two energies actually merged and combined in the secret realm, complementing each other and forming a very delicate balance.

Even more unexpectedly, the once barren Secret Realm could not sustain any life forms.

However, because of the existence of this depleting energy, life forms were able to survive and grow within the Secret Realm.

Chen Guan realized something from this strange phenomenon: he had been thinking about something wrong all along.

He always believed that the energy refined during the creation of the world was the foundation of the world and the power of life. As long as the energy refined during the creation of the world could evolve into life.

The truth is, the secret he created in his final life could also manifest life, but that life existed for an extremely short time.

Previously, Chen Guan thought that the reason why it existed for a short time was because his power and realm were not enough.

But now he understands that it wasn't because his own strength was insufficient, but because of the lack of participation from depleted energy.

Pure world power cannot create life that can truly thrive and multiply, because energy is constantly being given out without being taken back, which is equivalent to a one-way channel.

With the participation of depleted energy, the world can truly begin its cycle of reincarnation, with life and death constantly occurring and multiplying.

Without death there is no new life; death is the key that determines the beginning of life.

Exhausted energy is never meant to destroy the world; it is the cradle of life.

Because the principles are the same, with this discovery, Chen Guan immediately understood the true relationship between the Devouring Spirit God, the Sky Secret Realm, and the Exhaustion Zone.

The reason why the Sky Spirits are immortal is because the Devouring God removes the depleted energy. However, because of this, the old life forms do not die, the life energy does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, and the new life forms cannot be regenerated.

Life energy is constantly being plundered by the celestial spirits, and the depleted energy, lacking a matching amount of life energy, can only exist independently.

The longer the Sky Secrets remain active, the more energy it plunders, and the more energy it depletes.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction, so the method of the Soul Devouring God is to completely separate life energy and exhaustion energy.

Transform the celestial realm into a region of life energy, and the earthly realm into a place to imprison depleted energy.

Having grasped this principle, Chen Guan didn't rush back to disrupt the Devouring God's plan. Instead, he continued absorbing the depleted energy, both to increase his own level and to catalyze the evolution of the First Secret Realm. Chen Guan understood that the Devouring God was essentially a life form evolved from the power of the world, representing the life force of this universe.

To defeat the Soul Devourer, one needs the power to fight against it, and fighting against the Soul Devourer is tantamount to fighting against half the universe.

Under normal circumstances, as a part of the universe, no matter how powerful one is, it is impossible to defeat the Soul Devourer God.

But Chen Guan is different. While others fight by utilizing the rules of the universe, Chen Guan has dug up the foundation of this universe and continuously strengthened himself.

This means that Chen Guan has already formed his own world and does not need to rely on external forces to fight. His own vast primordial energy is his foundation, rather than relying on the rules of the universe to fight.

The reason why Jiang Qiemo and his group lost was because they had too little vital energy. They were unable to truly break the rules of the universe and remained just pieces on the chessboard.

The secret technique of the first method gave Chen Guan the foundation to create his own world. However, Chen Guan's world is not strong enough yet. He must continue to absorb energy and make himself strong enough to contend with half of the universe before he can stop the Devouring God.

Chen Guan's so-called "stopping" was not to stop them from destroying Sky City.

In fact, Chen Guan never fully trusted the Soul Devouring God. He originally only wanted to use the Soul Devouring God's power to cultivate outstanding individuals among humans before making further plans.

Now that Chen Guan has a clear mind and understands the underlying logic of the world, he no longer wants Sky City to continue to exist.

Without the obstruction of Sky City, the Earth Realm and Sky Realm can completely merge, achieving a balance between life energy and depleted energy. Sky Spirits will no longer have immortality, while Earth Spirits and humans will receive a large amount of life energy support, and their evolution speed will be greatly increased.

Only in this way can the Earthly Realm stand on the same starting line as the Sky Realm, no longer be inferior, and humans stand at the same height as the Sky Spirits.

The premise is that the Sky Garden prepared by the Soul Devourer God will not replace Sky City and separate heaven and earth again.

Chen Guan desperately absorbed the depleted energy and tried to directly absorb it into his body instead of relying entirely on the transformation through the creation world.

Just as Chen Guan had expected, instead of converting the depleted energy into the power of the world, the depleted energy entered his body and naturally merged with the energy within his body, allowing his vital energy to enter a new world.

Chen Guan reached out and conjured another butterfly. The butterfly took flight in the wind, dancing joyfully in the sky, flying higher and higher, farther and farther away.

As time passed, when Chen Guan finally reached the level 100 perfection, he immediately took Ji Nanhong to Sky City.

But when he arrived in Sky City, he found that he was a little too late.

At this moment, he was extremely sensitive to the existence and extinction of life, knowing that someone had already died here.

What Chen Guan didn't expect was that there was no Soul Devouring God here; the one fighting the humans was a white-clad female spirit.

Chen Guan glanced at her, and although he didn't know the name of the Netherworld Emperor, he could already tell the origin of this female spirit.

If the Soul Devouring God represents half of the universe, the life aspect of the universe, then this female spirit represents the other half, the death aspect of the universe.

Chen Guan looked at the Netherworld Emperor and made up his mind.
