Yinglong said calmly, "On the surface, the chaos of heaven and earth is to reduce the spiritual energy consumption of the divine beasts of heaven and earth? In order to prolong the lifespan of the world and delay the cycle of reincarnation that has always existed between heaven and earth? This statement is not wrong, but it only tells the first part."

"Before this place was created, it was called Hongmeng. During the Hongmeng era, the laws began to grow and gradually evolved into Chaos. As the number of living beings increased, the power of Chaos could no longer be sustained, and thus the Primordial Immortal Realm was created."

"There is a threshold to the energy here. Once the energy is completely exhausted, the laws of the world will be out of balance. Then, the cycle of immeasurable calamities will sweep through this place, repeating the primordial era to reshape the laws of heaven and earth."

"Then let me ask you, knowing that there is a critical point in the energy here, and that it is impossible to change the immeasurable eons, how can one extend the lifespan here?"

Su Yan's eye twitched slightly, and he slowly uttered his guess: "Raise the upper limit of the threshold?"

"Correct!"

Yinglong nodded with great certainty and said, "The chaos of heaven and earth is essentially a process of giving way, eliminating those who crave the energy of heaven and earth but lack the potential, and investing the limited energy here into creatures that consume less energy and reap greater benefits. At the same time, it is also a test for all living beings."

"Those who survive the chaos of battle will receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and gain control over a wider expanse of the sky!"

The great battle between heaven and earth is merely a prologue; the true purpose of Heaven's intervention is to select its own troops.

The original purpose of the Great Chaos of Heaven and Earth was to give way, to eliminate those races that relied on survival to advance, or those with little potential but excessive energy consumption, thus conserving resources. As long as the death rate of living beings in this world reaches 99% or more, the energy of this world can be forcibly used to return to the Chaos Era.

The cultivators and magical treasures nurtured during the chaotic era are incomparable to those of the Primordial Era.

Heaven needs cultivators like the Holy Mother of Nurturing and the Holy Mother of Profound Harmony to go to war in its place, relying on devouring living beings to raise the energy threshold of this place to a whole new level.

Yinglong was unaware of this matter before. Like Bai Ze and the others, she only knew that Heaven was planning to launch a great war that would affect the world in order to prolong the lifespan of this world and postpone the arrival of the immeasurable calamity.

However, the specifics are unclear. Over the long years, Yinglong, trapped in the theory of time and space, found Su Yan by chance and thus gradually learned the full picture of the Heavenly Will's plan.

Whether it was a coincidence or the will of Heaven secretly using Yinglong's power to explore other worlds, Yinglong could not provide an answer.

However, Yinglong was very certain that the almost omniscient and omnipotent Heavenly Will could not leave this place, so it needed some disruptors of Heaven and Earth to lead the expedition.

The Creator Spirit cannot go to war, and this world, without the Creator Spirit, will lose its guardian at birth.

The five Heavenly Emperors represent the order of this place and are unlikely to leave it. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Heaven would make the decision to select soldiers.

"Our Heavenly Will here has developed emotions, and it is currently fearing the arrival of reincarnation." Yinglong said slowly with a smile, "Perhaps it is out of exasperation?"

"That's why I've stayed at the starting point of time. After missing the initial time and my four children perished, whether I go back or not is no longer important."

"The Great Dao evolved into the Heavenly Dao, which manifested as the Chao Clan and the Hongmeng Guardians, and were those who resisted the chaos of Heaven and Earth."

"With the protection and blessing of the secret techniques left by your father and my child, the dragon race can be well protected. Although there may be casualties, the flame will never be extinguished."

After saying these words, Yinglong gently lifted Su Yan up in front of him and said with a smile, "If you can't accept the choice I've given you, you can try to change the fate of your clan. You have inherited a part of my destiny, and you can even be considered my fifth child who is not related to me by blood."

“If I had not been born, you and your father would have been equal to me in terms of fate.”

Chapter 688 The time for reunion will come before the curtain falls.

"It's really hard to explain!"

Su Yan sighed softly. His initial doubts and confusion were resolved as the Ancestor gradually revealed the secrets of the past.

At the same time, Su Yan gradually understood the significance of the Creation Spirits' existence. Logically speaking, after completing the construction of the world, the Creation Spirits' strength was not much different from that of the Primordial Guardians, although the Five Heavenly Emperors might be slightly stronger than the Primordial Guardians.

But they should be in the same realm, so why are there different names and different eras?

Because of the distinction of positions here, the Creator Spirits are the guardians of the world. When the cycle of reincarnation unfolds in the world, they bear the strongest power of the rules here to ensure the safe birth of this world.

The spirit of creation belongs to all living beings of the Great Dao, and together with the Great Dao, it defends the existence of the world, forming the cornerstone of this place.

The Five Heavenly Emperors are those who, after the birth of the world, control the order and balance of Yin and Yang, and also shoulder the function of guiding and perfecting the rules of Heaven, influencing the growth of all living beings.

Based on what Yinglong said, we can conclude that the purpose of Youchao and the Hongmeng Guardians is to carry out plans. Youchao personally orchestrated the great war between heaven and earth, while the Hongmeng Guardians were created to counter the Creator Spirit and the Five Heavenly Emperors.

Moreover, the Hongmeng Guardians are likely to be generals in the plan, while the Undying Witches are powerful beings personally selected by Youchao.

Given that the Creator Spirit could not be lost and that the five Heavenly Emperors were needed to maintain order, Heaven's will redistributed the world's resources, creating the Primordial Guardians to go to the battlefield and devour other universe resources to increase the threshold.

"A being who possesses emotions and can also command the world's resources is truly terrifying," Su Yan said with a slow sigh.

Su Yan didn't understand dimensional warfare, but he was very clear about how terrifying this world was. To use the terminology from his previous life's science fiction novels, a being at the Holy Spirit level was an existence that distorted the very concept of existence, and could interfere with the laws of the world as soon as the universe unfolded.

If the Queen Mother of the West wished, she only needed to modify the details of the plague punishment method, allowing the incurable plague to spread through speech or light, and it would be enough to destroy the cultivation world in about a day.

The source of all plagues is an abstract concept, and the Queen Mother of the West can alter its effects, such as removing the immortal body of the Holy Spirit, cutting off its endless lifespan, and inflicting suffering and misfortune upon it, causing it unbearable pain.

The same principle applies to other worlds. As long as the will of Heaven intervenes and delays the will of Heaven of the enemy, the Queen Mother of the West can go to the enemy world to spread her influence, hijack the Heavenly Dao of the other side, and spread targeted sources of plagues. The enemy will have no way to defend against them.

The Queen Mother of the West is the very concept of death, though it manifests in different forms, but ultimately it always presents the image of death.

Beings like the Queen Mother of the West were chosen by Heaven to reside in the Primordial Immortal Realm to maintain order, while the Primordial Guardians were dispatched to conquer other worlds.

“Therefore, I would say that whether or not you go back is actually meaningless,” Yinglong said. “Returning to the Primordial Immortal Realm will only attract the attention and targeting of the Youchao Clan. Whether you can profit from the Chaos depends on your own efforts and talents.”

The Creator Spirit and the five Heavenly Emperors are difficult to act against due to the watchful eyes of Youchao and the guardians of Hongmeng. Heaven has been deliberately balancing the situation, and the Holy Spirits and living beings cannot rely on their background to survive.

Unless a being is so audacious as to crawl directly into the crotch of the Heavenly Emperor, it is impossible to avoid the selection battle that will sweep across all living beings in the world.

"The battle above is nearing its end. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" Yinglong asked Su Yan, trying to see if he had any questions for him.

As for cultivation methods, elixirs, and spiritual treasures, Yinglong did not speak directly, because cultivation methods become less useful after reaching the immortal level. Once the foundation of cultivation is completely stable, it cannot be modified. Any alteration would only cause the collapse of one's cultivation foundation and the universe.

Go find the Queen Mother of the West for elixirs; the elixirs she refines are the best in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Lingbao then went to the lineage of Nuwa's Ten Intestines, whose weapon-refining methods were far superior to his own.

"There's nothing more I want to ask." Su Yan shook his head gently and said, "I never imagined that just asking why the Ancestor didn't go home would uncover so many secrets. Some things that I was previously confused about but too embarrassed to ask have gradually become clear to me through the Ancestor's narration."

"It's just that we're talking here, Ancestor. Our conversation shouldn't be leaked, right?"

Although Yinglong only told Su Yan about the inside and outside of the chaotic battle between heaven and earth, such information was enough for Su Yan.

Once you understand the core of the event, you can see the whole thing from the heart and understand the relationships between the stakeholders.

The chaotic war between heaven and earth, initiated by the will of heaven, serves as the framework for the entire event, much like national policy. Within this framework, various events gradually evolve, such as the "Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth" incident, which was originally intended to disrupt the Heavenly Emperor's order. Another example is the spread of the "Nightmare Suppression Technique," which was originally intended to pre-select and identify beings with low potential but strong talents.

Regardless of what happens as a result, the ultimate goal is to instigate a chaotic war between heaven and earth, creating an overwhelming force that crushes everything within the primordial chaos, selecting those deemed useful by Heaven to elevate the world's threshold.

"As long as you don't actively reveal it to others, nothing discussed here today will spread," Ying Long said with a smile. "This is a corner of the starting point of reincarnation, in the brief moment before the awakening of Heaven's Will. No one can monitor this place. The only prerequisite is that you don't spread rumors outside."

"Now that everything is settled, take the key I gave you to my treasure vault, retrieve its riches, and arm the children to carve out their own territory."

When Yinglong said this, Su Yan could clearly see the pain in Yinglong's eyes.

Although she spoke generously, she still cared a lot about her savings. When she talked about giving it away, the pain and reluctance on her face were very real.

Yinglong, the dragon of Yingde and Yingshi, is a well-known collector in the immortal realm. He wants to pile everything into his treasure trove and spends a lot of effort to sort and organize those items one by one. This shows just how much Yinglong loves his treasure trove.

To prevent theft, the treasure vault was even placed inside a time rift to ensure it would never be stolen.

"Ancestor, will we ever have another chance to meet?"

As the battle in Yinglong's treasure vault came to an end, Su Yan's figure began to float upwards, preparing to return. Before leaving, Su Yan asked Yinglong a question.

"We will naturally meet again, but that will be when the great war between heaven and earth comes to an end."

Yinglong smiled, his expression seemingly concealing some deeper meaning, and spoke in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 689 immediately brought back memories of childhood.

"Then, Ancestor, I return to pay my respects."

Su Yan's figure gradually floated upwards into the sky, his soul being summoned by his body and returning along the path he had come from.

This is the moment before the Heavenly Will awakens. Yinglong can stay here, but that doesn't mean Su Yan can. Su Yan's existence still lingers in Yinglong's treasure vault. It's just that because of Yinglong's summons, his soul has broken free from the constraints of time and space and has temporarily come here to take refuge.

Now that the great battle in Yinglong Treasure Vault has subsided, the assimilation substances on Su Yan's body have been cleared away by his father, and his physical body has regained its activity. Naturally, he began to call out to his own soul, urging it to return quickly to avoid being possessed by wandering ghosts.

See you later!

Yinglong smiled and waved goodbye to Su Yan, then lay back down in the dark pool, slowly closing his eyes as if falling into a deep sleep. In the darkness, a single black and red eye slowly opened, glanced at the dark pool in front of him, and then slowly closed again.

"No unusual situation."

.....................

Inside the Yinglong Treasure Vault.

"Wow!"

Su Yan, lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and absorbed the spiritual energy and immortal aura into his body, activating his nearly shut-down organs: "I almost died."

When Su Yan came back from the dead and started complaining, he didn't forget to look around at the scenery. He immediately saw his father, the dragon, and his mother, who were squatting in front of him. Both of them had extremely worried expressions on their faces. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Yan come back from the dead and speak again.

Not far in front of Su Yan, the Myriad Spirits Holy Mother Xuan Tong, who had previously suffocated Su Yan, now had her body twisted into an abnormal arc, with layers of azure ice covering her body, completely sealing her away.

The vast, turbid white river that separated the void was completely covered by ice and snow, as if it were dead.

The dragon race's innate supernatural power is the ability to control water, but within this ability lies the power of the four seasons. For example, the North Sea dragons can obtain the power of winter. Among the users of the power of winter, those with exceptional talent can extend the power of winter to the point of freezing, a kind of time-based magical power.

Creatures imprisoned by the freeze will lose all sense of time and remain eternally frozen in the moment of being frozen.

The Myriad Spirits Mother Xuan Tong was indeed extremely difficult to deal with, and she was immortal thanks to the power of the Netherworld. However, she encountered the dragon heroes nurtured by Yinglong, and after several rounds of fighting, she was sealed away by the combined attack of the dragon father and the fox mother.

"I think... after this experience, the little fox probably won't like big breasts anymore, right?"

With the gloom in her heart dissipating, Fox Mom sat down on the ground covered in azure ice. After glancing at Su Yan, she casually complained to Dragon Dad.

Although the form of the Holy Mother of Myriad Spirits was twisted, there was a passage carved out by human hands on the solid ice layer that sealed her, and the tunnel led directly to the Holy Mother of Myriad Spirits.

On the transformed body of the Mysterious and All-Spiritual Mother, there is a recessed area in front of her. Su Yan's face is firmly imprinted in front of the Mysterious and All-Spiritual Mother, and even half of her body can be measured from it.

“When we arrived, your head and half of your body had already been fused together.” Dragon Father looked at Su Yan, who was looking around, and said, “We only managed to dig you out bit by bit from the body of the Holy Mother of Myriad Spirits after we defeated the Holy Mother of Myriad Spirits.”

"Moreover, the scene was extremely strange!" The fox mother leaned directly on her son's shoulder, her face full of mystery, and said, "You absolutely can't imagine just how strange our encounter with the Myriad Spirits Holy Mother was!"

"At that time, your upper body was almost completely absorbed into the vault of the Holy Mother Xuantong, with your legs hanging between her legs. Her arm slapped directly onto your little bell, and she pulled out a knife that was almost ten feet long. She and your father were fighting on the spot."

"Your legs are swinging back and forth, and streams of murky water, like those from a fever, are flowing outwards. If your mother and father didn't have some skill, they would have been completely drenched by their son, just like the original soup that was used to dissolve food."

Having already merged with half of Su Yan, the Holy Mother of Xuan Tong was naturally able to control Su Yan's body. She pulled out the sacrificial knife hidden inside Su Yan's body and slashed at the Dragon Father, while simultaneously controlling Su Yan to splash the [Light of All Wonders] on the Dragon Father and the Fox Mother, and controlling the Path of Assimilation to erode the two.

This scene made the fox mother fall into deep thought, recalling how Su Yan, before he even opened his eyes at birth, had urinated a huge amount of urine directly onto the bed.

"."

Su Yan looked at his mother with a dark expression and said, "Don't say things I don't even remember. From the moment I have memories, I have never wet the bed!"

"Hey, you're getting impatient." The fox mother poked her son's increasingly handsome face and sighed, "Who would have imagined that such a handsome exterior would hide some shameful secrets?"
