A star flowing with dim colors and stabilizing the myriad phenomena fell, merging into a shadowy soul.

This shadow was a soul of the deceased, which should have returned to the Youli Nether Sea, but now that the Youli is shattered, he is a wanderer with no destination, awaiting the moment of returning to the void or reincarnation.

But at this moment, as the power of Creation operates, the dust begins to gather, and light and fire, water and vitality, along with condensed gold start to work. A physical body is forged anew from what seemed like an empty existence, returning to the appearance of a young Martial Artist, and under the starlight, once again possessed a shadow.

Cang Linzu watched his newly molded hand, felt his freshly created heart beat, and sensed the dense Spiritual Fiend flowing through veins like a steel corridor, surpassing all acquired birth, the heavenly body created by the heavens resonating with his Will, allowing him to see what he could not before, to understand and know what he previously could not understand or know.

The dust formed his new shadow, which is the earth, the shadow of the sky, because of the excessive light and coolness, it can bear the compassion of all life, which is the true power of the shadow.

"Eldest Senior, is this the world you can see?"

He murmured to himself, then raised his head to look at the light falling towards him, "Although I had imagined countless times before, none have been clearer than this one."

"Eldest Senior, the future you can see must be more than mine, your decisions must have your own considerations, I might doubt, because I believe if you exist it must be a better choice, but I believe, because you must have your own definition of better."

"But, what can I do?"

[You come to help me see]

The light that casts the shadow, the burning star thus said: [Cang, you are my anger, my eyes]

[You and I are angry together, your emotions are human emotions, your worries are human worries, but I am different, I am the one who breaks the Mystery of the Womb, have memories of past lives, my morality is not the morality of this world, my anger comes from that other side’s anger]

[If I am angry but you are not, it means I might be looking too high, but if you are angry and I am not, then it means I might have made a mistake. Using you as a reference, I can see Da Chen clearly, see this world clearly]

[Cang, you are unwilling to accept such a world, you don’t want your eyes to be covered, so you should watch, continue to observe this world for me, this world is about to undergo great changes, please see it clearly for me]

"I will, Eldest Senior..." Cang Linzu took a deep breath, steadied his mind, then looked at his shadow where the earth-cast dust shadows contained some amorphous life forms writhing: "But what are these things?"

[Those are the Hundred Forms of the Red Furnace, the vitality of my Cave Heaven, I gave a little to everyone, but because you bear the power of my earth, you have a bit more]

The voice responded: [They are the original Heavenly Gods and ancient beasts, manifestations of Creation, they will assist you in mastering my power, but if they wish to leave, you should also grant them freedom]

"That is natural." Cang Linzu nodded. At this moment, the light fully entered his body, and this young but once dead Martial Artist should have continued on his path without hesitation, but now he suddenly hesitated, couldn’t help but ask one last question: "By the way, Eldest Senior..."

"In those futures you have seen, where am I most of the time?"

[By my side]

He answered: [Looking in the same direction as me]

With that, the light completely disappeared, but the light then lit up Cang Linzu’s not fully opened eyes, countless dust gathered, instead becoming stars that flickered like light, like a blazing sun, like a fierce flame.

[Pupil Fire]

At the same time, another dazzling, burning, crimson-flowing star descended then, landing in the North Heaven Cave Heaven of the Shenjing ruins. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Many Cave Heavens, together with the second Undying Tree, collided with the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony and Egg of Nonexistence as Quan Wuzhong advanced to Heavenly Venerate, which is An Jing’s fundamental ability to finally defeat the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony and Xuan Mingyu, an embodiment of An Jing gathering countless Cause and Effect.

And at the node where Cause and Effect coalesce, there is an ordinary cultivator who somewhat bewilderedly looked up at the descending star.

On his body, vein-like roots were spreading, that is the [Heaven and Earth Root], also known as the ’Earth Vein Array’, this is the original Array governing the Law of the Earth, operating the blood of Spiritual Fiend, this majestic power runs through the formation painted all over the body of an Immortal Martial Cultivation practitioner, integrating it into one.

And this formation that runs throughout his whole body transformed into a small world within him, and in the world, a silent water pool seemed to appear, shadows rushing within, like a haven for unfallen tears.

It can be tranquil, allowing one to rest in peace, enjoying the sleep of no color and no light. This is the original Youli, not transformed into a Sea of Suffering due to pain, dissatisfaction, despair, regret, or sorrow, with something seeming to be moving within, silent and quiet.

"Is it An Jing?" Feeling the power surging within him, leading to the Netherworld, Huo Qing whispered: "I will not ask why you have to do all this because I understand your yearning, I just can’t help but wonder, wonder... if we stand united, all sects, all forces of the two realms unite, could it be that we wouldn’t need you to do all this, just to stop the awakening of the Holy Demon?"
