Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Chu Zhou did not agree immediately.

Cang Mi had already noticed that Shen Xinglan was analyzing the clock face.

The fifth bronze carving knife changed direction, crossed the sacrificial path, and slashed directly at the remote projection of the lunar base.

The spatial passage was not broken.

The time allotted for transmitting data was completely cut off.

Shen Xinglan's projection disappeared instantly.

The ancestral realm and the All-Spirit Starport have once again lost technical contact.

Cang Mi's sixth carving knife then fell.

This slash was aimed at Little Golden Treasure.

Clearly, it had already discovered, through the fluctuations of the Ten Thousand Gold Convergence, that this inconspicuous little beast could threaten the Wuke Bell Plate.

The first lotus leaf lay across Chu Zhou's path.

The time-carving knife cuts through the center of the lotus leaf.

No wounds were found.

The entire lotus leaf withered rapidly, compressing the tens of thousands of years from its birth to its death into a mere breath.

The aura of Jie Lian's true form decreased once again.

Little Jinbao looked at the lotus leaves that had lost their luster, and the dark gold lines on his forehead suddenly lit up.

"It ruined its owner's leaves!"

Chu Zhou's roots entangled Xiao Jinbao, wrapping it entirely around the second lotus leaf.

The next moment, the Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm followed the trajectory left by the sixth carving knife and directly pierced into the interior of the Uncarved Clock Plate.

Little Jinbao fell from the blue-silver light.

As soon as it landed, it saw the dark silver spike closest to it.

Around the long nail, the last day before a civilization was destroyed is sealed away.

Countless lives continue to repeat the process of dying.

The city was restored after it collapsed.

It collapsed again after it recovered.

They have been reincarnated for tens of thousands of years on this day.

Little Golden Treasure raised its paw and pressed down on the dark silver nail.

"come out!"

The "Ten Thousand Gold Pieces Converging to the Emperor" erupted with a thunderous roar.

The first long nail was pulled out inch by inch from the clock face.

The ever-destroying city finally ceased its cycle of reincarnation. All surviving consciousnesses looked up at the starry sky, their bodies instantly transforming into countless faint points of light.

They did not recover.

But finally, the day after tens of thousands of years had passed since Cang Mi cut them off arrived.

The clock face vibrated violently.

Cang Mi suddenly turned around, and twelve bronze carving knives simultaneously locked onto the inside.

"Ants!"

The seventh carving knife cut into the clock face.

Little Jinbao hugged the dark silver nail, and all escape routes behind him vanished at the same time.

Just as the blade of time was about to touch it, a phantom image of a dark blue tortoise shell suddenly appeared inside the clock face.

The massive Xuanjia body remained hidden deep within Black Dragon Lake.

It cannot traverse the starry sky like the true form of the Lotus Realm.

But Little Jinbao has spatial imprints left by its back armor cave.

That was so that no matter how many things Little Jinbao picked up outside, he could always find his way back to the treasure cave.

At this moment, this mark, which was originally only used to return home, has become the coordinate for Xuanjia to send out the laws of water and earth.

The bronze carving knife struck the phantom of the tortoise shell.

A deep crack appeared on the back of the Xuanjia armor at the same time.

The stone ridge within the Carapace Cave shook violently, and waves several meters high surged in the pool. All the staff immediately activated the stabilizing array, sending the cubs inside into the building.

Xuanjia's limbs, however, remained firmly connected to the earth's veins.

"I'll block it."

A dull voice came through the clock face: "Keep pulling."

Little Jinbao glanced back at the cracks in the tortoise shell.

It no longer calculates how much of these metals can be allocated, as it did in the past.

The "Ten Thousand Gold Pilgrimage" pattern was burned directly.

The second dark silver nail was pulled out.

The third and fourth roots.

With each nail removed, the Fifth Hunting Ground of the past became a little more illusory. Tens of thousands of warships began to flicker incessantly, and the Mysala avatar lost one of its vertical pupils.

Cang Mi's eighth carving knife fell on Xuan Jia once again.

At the edge of Black Dragon Lake, the Black Tiger King suddenly raised its claws.

All the patrol array patterns in the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone rotated simultaneously, channeling their power into the lakebed. The intelligent beasts in the mountains and forests, under the command of the Black Tiger King, also guarded the twelve ley line array points.

They cannot directly confront the twelfth-order laws.

However, it can share the impact of the tortoise shell phantom with Xuanjia.

The second crack appeared on the carapace.

The Black Tiger King's four claws were embedded in the rocks, and the blue lotus mark on its forehead shone brightly.

"Black Armor".

"The grotto is not in chaos."

"Keep holding on."

The ninth nail was pulled out.

Cang Mi finally gave up on maintaining the past hunting grounds.

All the returning warships vanished simultaneously, and all twelve bronze engraving knives turned towards the interior of the unengraved clock face.

It intends to destroy Little Golden Treasure along with its own time-manipulating artifact.

Chu Zhou had been waiting for this moment.

The ten lotus leaves no longer withstood the attacks from the fleet, and the Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm suddenly contracted, pressing down entirely around Cang Mi's main body.

Qin Zhenyuan threw out half of his black sword at the same time.

The blade could not harm a twelfth-tier peak-level Law-based life form, but it precisely positioned itself to hit the next tick of the endless clock face as it was about to rotate.

The commander's battle flag in Gu Tianheng's hand followed closely behind.

The First Guardian Army's Crimson Gold Law transformed into tens of thousands of chains, temporarily securing Cang Mi's twelve carving knives to the outside.

"Little Jinbao!"

Little Jinbao did not respond.

Both front paws had already grabbed the last three dark silver spikes.

It opened its mouth, bit one of the sticks, wrapped its tail around the other, and pulled its whole body backward with all its might.

"They're all mine... no, they're all Master's!"

The three long nails detached from the clock face at the same time.

All the time that Cang Mi had captured was completely out of control at that moment.

The clock face is cracked from the center.

Tens of thousands of sealed histories of civilizations are simultaneously released. Some regain a year that was taken from them, some remember their vanished tribes, and some worlds finally find their names again, the names they had before the arrival of the Hunting Court.

Little Jinbao, clutching twelve long nails, fell out of the broken clock face.

Chu Zhou's roots immediately swept it back to Wanling Star Port.

"Owner."

Before Xiao Jinbao could even stand properly, he pushed the twelve long nails in front of the roots: "These will be used to repair Xuanjia's back first."

Chu Zhou took three of them.

The dark silver metal entered Black Dragon Lake along the node and merged into the cracks on the back of the Xuanjia armor. The previously leaking water and soil laws finally stabilized.

The remaining nine long nails were temporarily sealed by the Azure Lotus Array Pattern.

Seeing that the Xuanjia aura had returned, Xiao Jinbao hugged the smallest one again.

"This one wasn't used up."

"Do you include scrap materials?"

Chu Zhou did not answer.

Cang Mi's roar had already spread throughout the star field.

After losing the unmarked clock face, the twelve bronze engraving knives behind it simultaneously developed cracks.

However, the peak twelfth-order law did not fall because of this.

The hunting grounds, once sealed off, began to collapse inwards.

Cang Mi no longer intended to take the Jianmu Ancestral Root with him.

It aims to transform the entire star field, along with its 361 worlds, into a timeless specimen that cannot be moved.

"The First Hunting Court will hang this hunting ground outside your ancestral realm."

"All later civilizations will see this."

"What will be the consequences of rebelling against the Nine Courts?"

Everything came to a standstill and then erupted completely.

World after world began to age rapidly.

Oceans dry up, mountains weather away, and buildings in cities traverse tens of thousands of years in the blink of an eye.

[A malfunction in the time law has been detected.]

361 worlds are rapidly dying.

[It is estimated that the All-Spirit Starport will be completely decayed in nine breaths.]

Chu Zhou did not use his power for defense.

Nine lotus leaves that were still movable fell simultaneously to the bottom of the altar.

The remaining 359 boundary-suppressing nails were covered by the Myriad Realms Purifying Fire.

Shen Xinglan had already calculated the sequence of all the earth veins.

The roots of the Azure Lotus were severed one by one from the Golden Law in the correct positions, forcibly taking over the space around the Azure Ancient Root.

The hundredth boundary nail went out.

The second hundred, the third hundred.

The moment the last boundary nail broke, the ancestral root of the Jianmu tree, which had been dormant for 100,000 years, finally broke free from the control of the Fifth Hunting Court.

Cangmi immediately extended his palm.

"The ancestral roots belong to the First Hunting Court!"

An old man's voice slowly emanated from inside the ancestral root of the Jianmu tree.

"This is the road that the ancestral realm built for those who leave their homes."

"When did it become part of the Hunting Court?"

Countless lingering remnants of the guardian spirits that had been dormant within it gradually awakened.

They did not possess complete divine souls, nor did they leave behind their names. Ten thousand years ago, it was these people who deliberately severed the ancestral roots of the Jianmu tree, preventing the Fifth Hunting Court from directly entering the Ancestral Realm along the first generation of star paths.

Inside the ancestral root, the star paths that had been extinguished lit up again.

For the first time, the human coordinates hidden in the sea of ​​stars also sensed the aura of their homeland's mountains and rivers.

The roots of the Chu boat entangled the ancestral roots of the Jianmu tree.

It did not devour it.

Instead, it was sent to the very center of All Souls Port.

The moment the ancient, verdant root touched the ley lines of the starport, all 361 worlds simultaneously heard a deep heartbeat.

Boom!

The acceleration paused for the first time.

[Recovering the lost essence of the ancestral realm.]

[The restoration rate of the Ancestral Realm's origin has increased by 4.7%.]

[Current restoration rate of the ancestral realm's origin: 50.3%.]

The ancestral roots of Jianmu are currently restoring the first-generation Starry Sky Gate.

[Three hundred and sixty-one civilizations have been detected and have voluntarily agreed to jointly maintain the return passage.]

[A stable ancestral star path detected.]

The twelfth world node is forming.

Cang Mi simultaneously slashed at the root of the Jianmu tree with twelve carving knives.

The core of civilization in Wanling Starport did not wait for Chu Zhou's command.

The laws of fire, ocean, mountains, and stars actively formed a barrier around the ancestral root. They did not belong to the ancestral realm, yet they clearly understood that a path that allowed all civilizations to choose their own course of action was worthy of joint protection.

The first bronze carving knife was melted by the laws of fire.

The second carving knife was dragged into the tide by the ocean world.

The third handle, the fourth handle.

Different civilizations each bear the portion they can.

Cang Mi can suppress any one of these worlds, but he cannot stop all 361 completely different laws at the same time.

The ancient roots continue to grow.

Countless tiny roots run along the public shipping lanes, connecting All Souls Port with 361 worlds.

It does not extract any ley lines.

For each civilization that voluntarily registers, leave behind a path that can be closed on its own.

[Obtained the twelfth world node: the Ancestral Gate of All Realms.]

[Gain node ability: Path of Unity Across All Realms.]

All voluntarily registered worlds can work together to maintain cross-border roads.

A single law cannot completely erase the coordinates of the ancestral sects of all realms.

[Current number of mature world nodes: twelve.]

The first condition for the twelfth evolution of life has been met.

The ancestral gates of all realms have taken full shape.

The time created by Cang Mi decayed and rapidly dispersed along the 361 paths. Each world only absorbed a tiny fraction of it, and the laws that were originally enough to destroy an entire starport finally lost their concentrated effect.

The ten lotus leaves of Chuzhou unfolded anew.

The first leaf has already withered.

The other six pieces were also covered with cracks.

However, when the ancestral gates of all realms fell into the Myriad Spirits Green Lotus Realm, two completely new world projections appeared simultaneously on both sides of the lotus platform.

One representing All Souls Starport.

One represents the ancestral sects of all realms.

The world of laws, which originally consisted of only ten mountains and rivers in a cycle, is expanding outward once again.

The Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm is undergoing its second expansion.

The second condition for the twelfth evolution of life has been met.

[The ancestral realm's original essence has recovered to over 50%.]

The third condition for the twelfth evolution of life has been met.

[All conditions for the twelfth life evolution have been met.]

[Insufficient evolution points.]

[Four billion evolution points are still needed to complete the evolution.]

Chu Zhou's consciousness descended towards Cang Mi.

The core of the twelfth-order peak law shone like a dark silver star in the system's vision.

Cang Mi also sensed the changes within Chu Zhou's body.

"You want to use me to complete your evolution?"

Chu Zhou's root curled up the Holy Judgment Spear.

The spear, having endured continuous battles, was now riddled with cracks. Meanwhile, the projection of the Refining World Furnace was slowly rising above Black Dragon Lake.

The Eclipse God Gold, the Star Tomb Ship Heart, and the nine dark silver nails pulled out by Little Gold Treasure all fell into the furnace at the same time.

The eternal lotus fire and the pure fire of all realms burn together.

The holy runes of daylight on the surface of the Holy Judgment Spear gradually melted.

It no longer belongs to the Holy City of Daylight.

It no longer carries the true name of the Holy Judgment left by Itheran.

The silver spear re-formed.

The Star Tomb Ship's core stabilizes the internal space, the Eclipse Divine Gold provides the sharpness of the laws, and the Dark Silver Spikes allow every attack to freeze the enemy's true time.

Four brand-new ancient characters appeared beneath the spearhead.

【The Myriad Realms Dao Spear.】

[A twelfth-tier, growth-type law-based weapon.]

[Current Abilities: Boundary Determination, Contract Breaking, Dao Suppression, Time Locking.]

When Xiao Jinbao saw that all the dark silver nails had melted into the gun barrel, a look of heartache appeared on his face, but then he remembered that the Xuanjia's back armor had been repaired.

It ultimately just gave a quiet reminder.

"Owner."

"Even after it's broken, remember to pick up the spearhead."

Chu Zhou did not respond.

The tenth lotus leaf has already grasped the Myriad Realms Dao Spear.

Cang Mi's twelve broken carving knives simultaneously slashed at all the lotus leaves on Chu Zhou's boat.
