Chapter 1009 369: Divine Origin

A sword light, from west to east.

Starting from the Endless Star Sea, ending at the source of Chaos.

It spans countless miles in between.

As if a golden line divides the endless dark cosmos into two halves.

The sword light advances with unstoppable force,

shattering darkness, and breaking those gathered by the Chaos Spirit, who sacrificed themselves across the long ages to resist the River of Eternal Darkness.

They exhausted their last bit of will, giving up the hope of resurrection.

All to completely obliterate the Chaos Spirit, to eradicate the source of future troubles, and restore peace and clarity to the world!

Li Shutong's figure was the first to be cut down by the sword light.

There wasn't a trace of pain on his face, instead, there was a smile of relief.

Then, his figure shattered like a mirror, countless shards seemingly conscious, merging into this unparalleled sword light.

The golden sword glow gained a hint of silver brilliance.

Next was Senior Brother Wei Qing, then Shang Jianyue...

Familiar figures, familiar names.

They were shattered by the sword light, then transformed into silver stardust, merging into the sword light.

In the end, the golden sword light, trailing a long silver starlight-like tail, arrived in front of the Chaos Spirit.

The golden light illuminated its pupils and revealed the unchanging black in its eyes.

"Why."

The Chaos Spirit's indifferent eyes showed confusion and bewilderment.

It could not understand.

Why the dead would give up such a one-time resurrection opportunity.

It could not understand.

Why after having humbled itself for reconciliation with Han Zhan, the opponent's sword light was so fierce and unyielding.

It could not understand.

It seemed to see in this ultimate sword light, the figures of countless people, their wills, their obsessions.

They merged into one, seemingly more solid and condensed than even the Chaos Dao.

Such a sword light, unparalleled, unique in eternity!

"Truly incomprehensible, you humans."

This was the Chaos Spirit's final thought.

The next second, the sword light pierced through its body.

Immediately, countless sword lights burst out, unleashing a radiant brilliance.

As if lighting it up, transforming it into a blazing white sun that burns away the darkness.

Dispel Yao Black, to break the Dawn!

This dawn's light was too strong, too fierce for even Han Zhan to gaze upon directly.

The eyes accustomed to darkness were suddenly stimulated by such dazzling light, and tears slipped from the corners.

"We won."

Han Zhan closed his eyes, softly murmuring.

This battle that spanned three cosmic eras, deemed unwinnable.

Yet it was they who smiled in the end!

...

The Chaos Spirit was shattered by the sword light,

everything seemed to have been settled.

The Blue Star survivors, who should have been saved from the Pot World, were to be returned to the cosmos,

but at this moment, Han Zhan suddenly paused.

"You think you have won?"

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha..."

"Since you want to cut me down, then relish the gift I return to you!"

Before completely fading away, the Chaos Spirit spoke its final words.

Its words, like the wind, vanished into the world.

But the next second, Han Zhan realized what its "returned gift" was.

Because in his heart, he heard a very clear cracking sound.

It was the source of Chaos Energy!

After resolving the Chaos Spirit, the source that should have been sealed again, cracked open at that moment!

It was cause and effect.

The power of cause and effect of the Chaos Spirit, at the time of being cut down by the sword light, transferred this cause to the source of Chaos.

The power capable of killing the Chaos Spirit is comparable to Pangu's creation of the world.

Surprisingly, the source of Chaos Energy was shattered under such an attack!

What consequences would the shattering of the source of Chaos Energy lead to?

The unending surge of Chaos Energy revealed the answer to Han Zhan.

If the River of Eternal Darkness was accumulated by the Chaos Spirit continually drawing Chaos Energy from the source,

then within the source of Chaos Energy is the root of numerous Chaos Energies, the primordial chaos that existed before Pangu's creation of the world.

Now, the breach has been opened.

Countless Chaos Energies spread, engulfing the entire Third Cosmic Era!

Feeling the concentration of Chaos Energy, Han Zhan finally understood why the Chaos Spirit was unwilling to shatter the source.

Because the Chaos Energy was so dense it could even directly devour the Chaos Spirit, and even Han Zhan felt slow and sluggish within this endless Chaos Energy.

His vision was engulfed by a wave of Chaos Energy.

Including his billions of stars, his ancient divine soldiers.

His thoughts were lost in chaos.

Only that ten-in-one Chaos Dao was still struggling to hold on.

Everything returns to chaos…

In chaos, time is untraceable.

After absorbing the densest Chaos Energy, the Chaos Dao grew ever more robust.

Within the Chaos Dao, ten Ancient Divine Soldiers emitted a faint glow, continuously nourished by tendrils of Chaos Energy.

A line of invisible golden text appeared above them:

"Divine Origin: 10/10."

"Chaos Dao, Supreme Perfection."

The golden text transformed into countless golden particles, disappearing as if blown away by the wind.

The initially faintly glowing ten Ancient Divine Soldiers suddenly burst with the purest light.

They separated from the Chaos Dao, appearing in the vast expanse of chaos.

The Ancient Divine Soldiers, originally nurtured by Chaos Energy, now resurrected, in an instant repelled the pervasive dense Chaos Energy.

The Chaos Dao once again morphed into a human form, sitting within the infinite chaos.

As consciousness slowly withdrew from chaos, Han Zhan gradually awoke.

He opened his eyes in a daze.

Above, below, left, right, all directions.

All were filled with Chaos Energy, so immense and limitless it defied consumption.

Han Zhan came to realization.

The Third Cosmic Era had been completely destroyed; now he found himself in the cosmos' most primitive state, within the chaos.

He had also lost the connection to the Contracted Spirit Girl.

Because the Ancient Divine Soldiers, after absorbing large amounts of Chaos Energy, had been activated to their most primal state.

All other consciousnesses, including the Pot World's Pot World, had become a speck lost in the endless chaos.

Finding the way back seemed nearly impossible.

At this thought, a sense of failure surged within his heart.

Han Zhan stared blankly ahead.

He couldn't accept such an ending.

Was I...really wrong?

Perhaps...agreeing to the Chaos Spirit's conditions and allowing everyone to resurrect was the correct choice all along.

In this vast chaos, I am the only one left alive; what meaning does this ending hold...

"You are awake."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded not far ahead.

Han Zhan shivered all over, instantly coming to his senses.

Without thinking, he charged forward into the chaos, taking large strides to cover some distance.

Then, he saw a scruffy, ordinary-looking middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged.

He had seen this man—

It was Pangu!
