Outside the treasure vault.
Not long after Chen Yi drove away the annoying Wuji once more, Fang Fan was nearly finished.
As the last wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi vanished into his brow, all supernatural phenomena instantly subsided!
On Fang Fan’s forehead, an extremely simple yet profound mark silently appeared, as if embodying the true meaning of the Great Dao.
The mark resembled a slowly rotating chaotic vortex, with a constant golden light at its center, surrounded by faintly discernible Chaos Dao patterns.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
With the treasure’s ownership settled, the accompanying secret realm began to collapse.
The six-layered trial realms, no longer tightly connected, saw their heaven-and-earth-supporting Chaos crystal walls melt away, transforming into countless dazzling rays of light shooting toward the unknown.
This secret realm had been born alongside the treasure and existed for its sake. Now that the treasure had found its master and no longer exerted its gravitational pull on the realms, the six trial layers would scatter, carrying vast resources to await destined inheritors.
This was the Chaos treasure’s gift to the myriad realms—a culmination of countless epochs of accumulation!
But alas, with Chen Yi present, these accompanying opportunities would never reach the wider cosmos.
The Spirit Treasure Paradise, the Five Elements Mountain Range, the Chaos Crucible, and the Treasure Labyrinth—the first four trial realms—were seized by Chen Yi in an instant, refined without hesitation!
Only the fifth and sixth realms remained untouched!
Now that Fang Fan had completed his task, as the first master of this Chaos treasure, there were many things he couldn’t do. He could only watch helplessly as these realms flew toward the unknown.
But Chen Yi was different—he had no reservations!
"Trying to escape? Not a chance!"
In a flash!
Chen Yi stretched out his arms, seizing both the Scales of the Heart Abyss and the Dao Platform of True Nature, refining them instantly!
Though his Six-Star Doppelgänger consumed immense energy, its overwhelming power allowed him to act with absolute impunity!
With all six realms now in Chen Yi’s possession, the mysterious Chaos treasure finally shed its last restraints!
Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!
The boundless expanse of the treasure vault—mountains, rivers, forests, and seas, whether real or illusory—lost all form, dissolving into pure primordial essence!
A vast surge of energy gathered like rivers returning to the ocean or birds flocking to their nests, ultimately forming a dazzling, multicolored vortex!
The resplendent vortex, radiant with nine terrifying hues, spun wildly like an inverted funnel, distorting the surrounding chaotic void energy!
The turbulent void energy faltered once more, collapsing outward from the nine-colored vortex, leaving behind an absolute vacuum.
And there, standing calmly at the vortex’s center, was Fang Fan, his silver-patterned azure immortal robes fluttering wildly in the chaotic currents.
Then, a ring-shaped treasure, glowing with a mysterious purple light, slowly rose from the nine-colored vortex!
The ring spanned ten thousand zhang in diameter, its surface engraved with profound Chaos Dao patterns, exuding an aura of boundless power.
Its contours were perfectly proportioned, its material exquisitely textured, and wisps of ethereal purple qi swirled around it—every detail spoke of its extraordinary origins!
"The Myriad Phenomena... Profound Mechanism Ring!"
Just like the first time he laid eyes on the complete Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, the treasure’s name and nature flooded Chen Yi’s mind unbidden.
The Myriad Phenomena Profound Mechanism Ring!
At the dawn of creation, a single stroke divided the cosmos;
Through endless ages, the Profound Mechanism governs calamity and dust.
Within its grasp, a world of its own making;
Upon its frame, the sun and moon eternally turn.
Shifting celestial tracks rewrite heaven and earth;
Forged in the crucible, the Dao-body finds rebirth.
Time rewinds to trace cause and effect;
All phenomena return to truth through this gate.
Damn...
That’s insane!
Though he still didn’t fully grasp its meaning, Chen Yi was thoroughly awed.
Back when he first saw the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, it too had revealed a cryptic verse.
Primordial Chaos Creation Disk!
Heaven knows no constants, the Dao winds and bends,
Mortals tread the path of cause and effect.
Primordial Chaos defies all logic,
Rebelling against the very rules of existence!
In terms of sheer grandeur, the two were evenly matched. But in word count? The little golden dragon fell short.
Huh?
Wait a minute—
Why didn’t the Mirror of Infinite Beginnings reveal any verse?
After all the time he’d spent with it, it hadn’t given him a single clue!
What?
Did it look down on Chen Yi or something?
At the same time.
Within the causal mist space forged by the Mirror of Infinite Beginnings.
The artifact spirit, a young boy with an old soul, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Myriad Phenomena Profound Mechanism Ring with a solemn expression. "This guy... is pretty impressive!"
Beside him, the little golden dragon scratched its horn and sighed. "Gotta admit, its destiny verse is way longer than mine—over twice as much. But still, flashy doesn’t mean functional. Short and sweet packs a punch!"
"You’re the short one. I’m plenty long," the boyish spirit retorted with a sidelong glance.
The little golden dragon twitched. "The hell? You’re barely longer than me. What’s there to brag about?"
"How much longer exactly? Let’s see," Chen Yi suddenly interjected.
"Hey, old Infinite, you wanna say it yourself, or should I recite it for you?" the little golden dragon teased.
The boyish spirit said nothing, silently raising his hand to reveal a line of true script.
Mirror of Infinite Beginnings!
Infinite light illuminates all realms;
The Pivot of Heaven locks the myriad skies.
Its reflections gather cause and effect;
A single step shatters beginning and end.
"Not much longer, honestly. Short is fine too," Chen Yi remarked fairly.
"Tch, it’s all fluff anyway. Length doesn’t matter—it’s how you use it!" The little golden dragon waved a claw dismissively. "Take me, for example—I was a master at handling mine. Old Infinite here? Total scrub. I saw right through him, and he never even noticed. This guy’s just lame!"
"Hey, you little—" The boyish spirit glared. "Shut your trap!"
"..."
Meanwhile.
As the Myriad Phenomena Profound Mechanism Ring chose its master and revealed itself.
Both the Divine and Immortal Realms trembled in response.
Deep within the Divine Realm’s Abyssal Ruins.
Hu Fangyuan, who had returned empty-handed, wore a strange expression.
"Who the hell is that guy? Chen Yi made such a huge scene, only for some nobody to reap the rewards?"
"Good! Great! Perfect!"
"I knew someone as domineering as you would never earn a treasure’s recognition!"
"Hahaha! To think some random kid swooped in and stole the prize—bet you’re feeling real sour right now, huh?!"
"Hahaha! Distrusting your allies, scheming and wasting so much effort, making such a spectacle—only to end up with nothing! Was it worth it?!"
"If you hadn’t messed things up, maybe I’d have had a shot. Chen Yi, you absolute dog—I might not be righteous, but you’re downright shameless!!!"
Jade Pivot · Key of Creation: "..."
Great, another one’s lost it.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
