Zhao Xuan walked slowly across the crimson lava, his combat suit remaining intact despite the high temperature.

He casually tossed up half a dark purple crystal, a fragment of divinity dug out from the skull of the babbling avatar.

Each time the crystal fell, it left a crack in the air, with tiny golden lightning bolts swirling around it.

"Hey, what are you all standing there for?" The boy grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth stained with divine blood. The still-warm lava behind him cast flickering light and shadow on his face, making him look like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

Zhao Xuan's appearance caused Chen Muyi and the others to unconsciously take a step back.

Even the usually warlike Hongying subconsciously took a half step back. Her ponytail was lifted by the heat wave, and the ends of her hair were already curled.

Zhao Xuan was stunned when he saw this. His gaze swept over the backs of the crowd, which were soaked with cold sweat, the split tiger's mouths, and the scattered bloodstains on the ground.

As he scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, the murderous aura he had just exorcised suddenly dissipated, and he transformed back into the boy next door who always freeloaded meals at the team's place: "Um... I'll treat everyone to hot pot as an apology?"

Zhao Xuan still admired Chen Muyi and his ilk.

Dead silence.

Amidst the crackling sound of churning lava, Chen Muye suddenly coughed violently.

He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time. The watch face was covered with spiderweb-like cracks—proof that he had used his shadow to take the brunt of the impact when the oppressive force descended.

Suddenly, a hundred-meter-high pillar of fire rose from the crater, casting flickering light on Zhao Xuan's smirking face.

At the same time, the entire city of Cangnan trembled slightly, and a transparent barrier that covered the whole city rippled, as if lamenting its predetermined fate.

"Captain." Just then, Leng Xuan's voice rang out.

This drew everyone's attention, and they saw Leng Xuan carrying Zhao Kongcheng's corpse as he walked over.

"Is this Zhao Kongcheng?" Hongying asked with some doubt when she saw Leng Xuan and Zhao Kongcheng.

"Yes, Hongying, Old Zhao sacrificed himself for the country," Chen Muye said in a heavy tone.

Although Chen Muyi had witnessed countless deaths, each one still caused him unbearable pain.

Upon hearing this, Si Xiaonan and the others' sad expressions returned, and the atmosphere around them became somewhat heavy.

"Hmm, not quite dead yet." Suddenly a voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

But when they looked over again, Zhao Xuan was already standing next to Leng Xuan, looking at Zhao Kongcheng's corpse with great interest.

"Put him down, there might still be hope for him." Before Chen Muye and the others could speak, Zhao Xuan said again.

After Zhao Xuan said this, the atmosphere fell silent again, followed by incredulous voices from Chen Muyi and the others.

"Really? Young man, you're not lying to us."

"Hey buddy, you're not lying to us."

"This is impossible…"

"Stop talking nonsense, or we'll really be beyond saving." Zhao Xuan said to Chen Muye and the others, annoyed.

Leng Xuan didn't waste any words and put Zhao Kongcheng down directly. Zhao Xuan didn't say anything either and placed his hands on Zhao Kongcheng's body.

"Buzz!!!" Suddenly, Zhao Xuan's palms lit up with an emerald-like light, and the phantom images of the twelve zodiac talismans condensed into a gilded wheel behind him.

As the horse talisman rotated to the center, the entire lava battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"Tokiwa - Rebirth." As the boy murmured, the wheel burst forth with a emerald beam of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

Countless ancient Sanskrit characters flowed along the light into the penetrating wound in Zhao Kongcheng's chest, and the charred flesh regenerated at a visible speed.

The molten lava churning in the crater solidified into jade crystals under the glow of the light, and a fine drizzle carrying the scent of sandalwood drifted in the air.

Si Xiaonan's [Peeping Eyes] activated uncontrollably.

In her vision, twelve towering zodiac mythical beasts appeared behind Zhao Xuan, with a steed with wings of light on its back shattering the gray chains that represented death.

"Hmph!" The girl groaned in pain, covering her bleeding eyes. The swirling lines of cause and effect almost burned through her retina.

Chen Muye's shadow blade suddenly trembled violently. He was shocked to realize that the shadows within a hundred meters radius were all bowing down to the wheel, and some kind of great power that transcended the rules was rewriting reality.

When the horse talisman was fully lit, Zhao Kongcheng's ashen skin suddenly turned blood red, and his long-stopped heart began to beat with a dull thud.

"Cough...cough cough!" The middle-aged man, who should have been dead, suddenly arched his body, coughing up dark red blood clots mixed with golden light particles. His shattered internal organs reassembled in the emerald green light, and the new flesh at the wounds faintly revealed divine patterns similar to those of the Horse Talisman.

The lava battlefield suddenly trembled violently. The twelve zodiac phantoms roared to the sky, and emerald green ripples erupted from the center of the roulette wheel, sweeping across the entire Cangnan City.

To the astonishment of all the wounded, their wounds began to heal, while the transparent barrier enveloping the city emitted a cracking sound like shattering glass—under the impact of the resurrection law, some ancient seal was loosening.

Chapter 270 The Scheme of Heaven!

"Buzz!!" Immediately afterwards, an endless life force surged from Zhao Xuan's body, and his body floated up involuntarily, while the Twelve Zodiac Wheel behind him unfolded uncontrollably.

"Looks like I've been used by Lao Liu again." Sensing the profound aura emanating from his body, Zhao Xuan recognized the power—wasn't this the power of the Heavenly Dao?

Then Zhao Xuan looked up at the sky. In Zhao Xuan's eyes, a giant eye appeared in the sky, seemingly occupying the entire sky.

"It seems that the Heavenly Dao of this world has not completely died, but is still lingering on."

Or perhaps it's because of the Great Xia Dynasty, since the entire Great Xia Dynasty wasn't swallowed up by the mist.

As the saying goes, even a broken ship has three nails left. Even if it is a remnant of the Heavenly Dao, it is not something he can fight against. Therefore, Zhao Xuan did not resist.

Zhao Xuan had no objection to saving Cangnan City. After all, when he watched TV, the loss of 500,000 people in Cangnan City was a huge regret.

Zhao Xuan agreed that this regret could be made up for now.

What bothered him was that he was being manipulated by the natural order of this world.

He wasn't afraid of this world doing anything dangerous to him, after all, he had powerful figures protecting him.

The Heavenly Dao of the main world is not something that a mere, barely surviving Heavenly Dao can contend with.

Although Zhao Xuan thought about all this, only a moment had passed.

"Buzz!!" Suddenly, the twelve zodiac talismans on the roulette wheel burst forth with dazzling divine light, and a vast, ocean-like power of law poured out.

The earth's veins suddenly trembled, and countless emerald-colored pillars of light shot up from the ground, echoing the illusory image of the wheel in the sky.

At the same time, the entire city of Cangnan trembled, and sounds like shattering glass rang out.

"Snap!!! Snap!!!"

This brought Chen Muyi and the others back to their senses from the joy of Zhao Kongcheng's resurrection, and they looked at everything in the sky in shock.

"Captain, what happened to you?!" Si Xiaonan's voice suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of Hongying and the others.

"Captain, you... you..."

Chen Muye's body slowly dissipated.

"Heh, so this day has come after all." A flood of memories suddenly rushed through Chen Muye's mind, and he gave a bitter laugh.

At this time, Chen Muye also regained his sealed memories, and the events of that year appeared in his mind one by one.

Not only Chen Muyi's side, but the entire Lunnan City was plunged into panic.

"What's going on? I don't want to die!"

"Heh, I've lived this long, so I guess I've gotten a bonus."

"Daughter, it looks like Dad will have to break his promise."

A chorus of panic, sighs, and regrets echoed throughout Cangnan City.

In the old city of Cangnan, at Lin Qiye's aunt's house, the reincarnated Erlang Shen and Xiaotianquan sadly watched the woman's body dissipate.

Both the man and the dog knew that this was a side effect of the mortal realm's impending disappearance.

"Why is this happening? Didn't the twelve zodiac animals, along with the four divine beasts, suppress the Great Xia Dynasty with their own essence long ago, and thus the twelve zodiac animals ceased to exist in the world?"

"Why did it reappear and even destroy the Mortal God Realm?" Yang Jin asked, somewhat dazed.

"Woof woof..." The Celestial Dog also barked.

Since neither the man nor the dog had regained their divine power, they could only helplessly watch everything unfold.

At the same time, a loud shout rang out from the sky, shaking all directions!

"The Twelve Zodiac Stars guard the eight directions!"

Since he couldn't resist, Zhao Xuan stopped thinking about it. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his hair danced wildly in the energy storm.

Suddenly, a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) array with a diameter of one kilometer appeared on the lava battlefield beneath his feet, with twelve pillars of light flowing and taking shape between the trigram positions.

The first dragon roar tore through the sky.

"hold head high!!!"

A bronze-cast dragon head emerges from the wheel, and every scale on the ten-thousand-meter-long dragon body is engraved with a map of mountains and rivers.

When it fully manifested, torrential rains fell from the sky, and tender green shoots sprouted from the scorched earth at a visible speed.

"This is... Jumang Spring Rain!" Si Xiaonan's right eye, which had been soaked by the rain, suddenly stopped bleeding, and the ruptured retina began to heal under the nourishment of life.

"Roar!!!"

The second tiger's roar shook the earth.

The colossal platinum tiger shattered the void as it arrived, the king-like character on its forehead radiating boundless golden light. It merely glanced around with disdain.

"Ugh——!"

A third clear cry pierced the sky, and a moon rabbit carved from white jade arrived. As its three-lobed mouth slightly opened, the moonlight condensed into shimmering threads, reweaving the dissipating souls of the citizens.

Si Xiaonan saw that on the broken red spear, plum blossoms were blooming, which was an ice crystal weapon reshaped with the moon's essence.

"hiss..."

The fourth eerie cry sent chills down one's spine. A colossal black python slowly rose from the direction of the Dui trigram, its scales glowing with the flames of the netherworld.

It opened its mouth and spewed out a purplish-black poisonous mist, only to see a black, viscous liquid churn up from the ground beneath Cangnan City—the physical manifestations of resentment sealed away for fifty years. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the vengeful spirits transformed into a sky full of phosphorescent flames, forming a silvery path of souls in the night.

·· ··Requesting flowers···· ··

"Whistle—!"

The fifth neigh was accompanied by blazing flames. The crimson celestial horse galloped in, its hooves striking the void with a shower of meteors and fire.

The burning residential buildings in the old city were rebuilt in the flames, the charred walls shedding their dead skin to reveal vermilion bricks and tiles. Yang Jin suddenly discovered that his mother's dissipated body had coalesced into a glass statue in the firelight, with a golden third eye appearing between her brows.

"Meow~~"

The sixth call was soft and gentle as water. A jade goat emerged slowly from the Kun trigram position, its horns entwined with threads of destiny. It bowed its head and lightly touched the earth, and time began to flow backward throughout the city:

The shattered glass was pieced back together, and the collapsed building was restored in reverse. Chen Muyi's body, which had dissipated to his waist, suddenly solidified, and a silver mark of the Big Dipper appeared on his chest.

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

"Ha!"

The seventh cry was exceptionally lively. A giant golden monkey, carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), appeared from the Zhen trigram position, somersaulting on a cloud. Wherever the golden cudgel swept, the transparent barrier covering the city shattered instantly.

Si Xiaonan suddenly covered her right eye, and the shattered retina miraculously reformed into a compound eye structure in the golden light, with countless future scenes flowing within it.

"oh--!"

The eighth crow of dawn shook the world. The seven-colored rooster spread its wings, covering the sky, each tail feather shimmering with the radiance of the sun's corona. As it flapped its wings and crowed, the eternal night that had shrouded Cangnan for fifty years was torn apart, and the dawn spread across the streets like a golden veil.

"Wang!"

The ninth bark was as steady as a mountain. The colossal black iron dog descended, its paws resting on a silver moon wheel, its collar adorned with twelve bells corresponding to the twelve signs of the zodiac.

As it roared to the sky, star maps appeared beneath the feet of all the citizens, and the dissipating spirits were firmly anchored by the light of the Big Dipper. The illusory image of Erlang Shen from Lin Qiye's aunt's house suddenly solidified, and a golden light that pierced through heaven and earth shot out from its Heavenly Eye.

At the center of the array, Zhao Xuan's hair had turned completely white, and twelve chains of laws extended from his heart to the roulette wheel.

The moment the Dog returned to its position, the Bagua formation suddenly rotated in reverse, and the emerald pillars of light intertwined to form a dodecagonal cage.

Golden blood seeped from the Heavenly Eye in the sky, and the blood droplets that fell to the ground transformed into red-haired monsters, which were then suppressed by the zodiac animals working together.

“So that’s how it is…” Zhao Xuan wiped the divine blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the threads of cause and effect that appeared in his palm.

As if in response to his words, the three unactivated talismans suddenly burst forth with chaotic light. The phantoms of the Rat, Ox, and Pig appeared and disappeared in the clouds, their corresponding trigrams beginning to devour the flesh and blood of the Eye of Heaven... Thousand.

Chapter 271 The Overbearing Heavenly Dao of the Main World!

"Moo-!"

The tenth roar shattered space and time. A giant bronze ox emerged from the earth from the direction of the Gen trigram, its horns wreathed in the primordial purple aura of the beginning of chaos.
