Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 80 A Glimmer of Hope

But at this moment, neither Yuan Yan and his six companions nor the Three Pure Ones made a move to intercept them.

They immediately directed their own light into the already dissipated innate array, locking most of their Dao energy onto the opponent, while leaving a small portion of their mind to focus on the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Although Dijiang had made it clear that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would not participate in the competition for the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus, the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus was too precious for them to completely ignore.

In an instant, everything within the innate grand formation appeared in their senses.

"Hmm? How come there are two Creation Lotuses?"

"I see!"

Yuan Yan, Nuwa, and the Three Pure Ones were surprised for a moment, then they all suddenly understood, understanding the secrets of heaven and the cause and effect.

The two Creation Lotuses were of different grades. One was a twenty-fourth grade Creation Lotus, though three of its grades appeared illusory. It was a supreme innate treasure and a chaotic spiritual root. The other was a twelfth grade Creation Lotus, a top-tier innate spiritual treasure and a supreme innate spiritual root.

The reason why there are two Creation Lotuses, and why three of the twenty-four-petal Creation Lotuses appear illusory, is that the twenty-four-petal Creation Lotus is striving for a sliver of hope.

As the saying goes, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and man escapes to one.

In the primordial world, all things and spirits have their own destiny. The destiny of the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus is to be divided into three, transforming into the Three Pure Ones' treasures for attaining enlightenment.

However, if everything in the world is predetermined and unchangeable, then the primordial world would be a stagnant pool, devoid of any vitality or possibility of advancement.

Therefore, all things and spirits in the primordial world, though they all have their own destiny, also have a glimmer of hope and the possibility of defying fate.

The same is true of the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus. Although it has no intelligence, it has a spirit. It seems to have sensed the danger and is naturally unwilling to be completely destroyed by splitting into three parts. It has also found a glimmer of hope for itself.

Thus, the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus consumed nearly one-fifth of its innate essence to give birth to the Creation Green Lotus seeds, which in a short period of time gave birth to a Twelve-Petal Lotus Platform to replace its original destiny, dividing into three to become the Dao-proving treasures of the Three Pure Ones.

Even if fate cannot be defied and the twenty-four-grade Creation Lotus is still divided into three, there is still a twelve-grade Creation Lotus that can continue its existence, so the Creation Lotus will not completely disappear.

Furthermore, because the Twelfth Grade Creation Lotus contains one-fifth of the innate essence of the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus, it is in a state of overflowing.

If the twenty-four-grade Creation Lotus were to disappear in the future, without the restrictions of heaven and earth and the suppression of status, the twelve-grade Creation Lotus might bloom into fifteen or even eighteen grades, becoming a supreme innate treasure.

That's all. It's impossible to reproduce the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus, let alone have the possibility of advancing to the Twenty-Seventh or Thirtieth Grade Creation Green Lotus like the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus.

It was precisely in order to seize a glimmer of hope that the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Lotus also attracted Yuan Yan and Nuwa, who were destined to be with it, to come and help it seize a glimmer of hope.

Yuan Yan is destined to be with the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus because his cultivation strength is strong enough, his merits and fortune are profound enough, and he has defied fate many times, securing a glimmer of hope for the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

Nuwa was destined to be associated with the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus because she cultivated the Great Dao of Creation, which was most compatible with the Creation Lotus. Their Daos were in harmony and could complement each other.

However, although the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus has found its own glimmer of hope, whether it can ultimately seize that glimmer of hope and defy fate still depends on the Three Pure Ones and Yuan Yan Nuwa, among others.

If Yuan Yan or Nuwa were to obtain the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus, they would naturally be able to defy fate and change their destiny without needing to decompose and disappear. They could replace their own destiny with the Twelfth Grade Creation Lotus.

However, if the Three Pure Ones were to obtain the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus, it would naturally be divided into three, with only the Twelve Grade Creation Lotus remaining as its continuation.

In addition to these two possibilities, there are actually two other possibilities.

Firstly, the Three Pure Ones possess both the twenty-fourth grade and the twelfth grade of the Creation Lotus.

The twenty-fourth-grade Creation Lotus will lose the sliver of hope it has gained, the twelfth-grade Creation Lotus will return to its origin, allowing the twenty-fourth-grade Creation Lotus to reach its full potential, and then it will split into three, and the Creation Lotus will cease to exist in the world.

However, if that's the case, the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus will not be willing to disappear and will definitely fight back desperately.

Even if the Three Pure Ones followed the will of Heaven and used the power of Pangu within them to suppress and draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth to divide it into three, their innate essence would inevitably be greatly consumed and lost in the desperate resistance, and a large portion of it would definitely be absorbed by the primordial world.

Otherwise, in the original course of destiny, a twenty-fourth-grade Creation Green Lotus, split into three, could not possibly be merely a top-tier innate spiritual treasure. At the very least, it would be an innate supreme treasure comparable to a fifteenth-grade Creation Green Lotus, or even an innate supreme treasure comparable to an eighteenth-grade Creation Green Lotus.

After all, the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus is no ordinary innate treasure. Innate treasures are equivalent to the Primordial Golden Immortal, and the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus is equivalent to the Primordial Golden Immortal at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

After being divided into three, how could it possibly become a top-tier innate spiritual treasure comparable to the limit of a Primordial Golden Immortal if not for a large loss of its innate essence?

Besides the significant loss of the innate essence of the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus, the Three Pure Ones will incur a major karmic entanglement with the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus by personally extinguishing its last chance of survival.

As for another possibility, it is that Yuan Yan and Nuwa possess both the twenty-fourth grade of the Creation Lotus and the twelfth grade of the Creation Lotus.

If this is the case, the destiny of the Twenty-Four-Petaled Creation Lotus splitting into three has not disappeared, and this calamity will surely come in the future. Moreover, Yuan Yan Nuwa's obstruction of destiny will also create an irreconcilable karmic entanglement with the Three Pure Ones.

It's easy to form this cause and effect, but it will be difficult to resolve it in the future.

Neither Yuan Yan Nuwa nor the Three Pure Ones were willing to incur such a great karmic debt.

Immediately, Yuan Yan and the Three Pure Ones made a decision: to fight with all their might for the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus and give the Twelfth Grade Creation Lotus to the other party.

"Boom!" The Three Pure Ones seemed to have been prepared. They drew upon the power of Pangu hidden deep within their primordial spirits and connected with the energy of the Great Dao to form an array. Instantly, their cultivation level temporarily rose from the tenth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the twelfth level, and even faintly exceeded the scope of the twelfth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Their combined formation surpassed the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and was comparable to a Half-Step Primordial Golden Immortal.

They rushed towards the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus, trying to seize the initiative.

However, the Three Pure Ones were not slow and were well prepared. Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Nuwa and Fuxi were no different.

In an instant, Yuan Yan unleashed his full power and charged toward the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

As for the Yuan Realm, Yuan Wheel, and Yuan Spirit who were prepared in advance, they instantly merged their essence, energy, and spirit into Hunyuan Power, and also instantly formed an array.
