Chapter 672 - 679: The World Is Finally Reorganized!

Although the guards were worried sick, they could only do as they were told.

But even after they were a good distance away, they couldn’t help but worry about the seal.

Everyone could see that the disturbance from the seal this time was far more severe than any before.

In the passageway, the light from the Array grew increasingly blinding.

Song Wanning pushed herself into a sitting position. Baili Shang and Xuan Yan rushed to her side, forming a tight guard around the small group.

They watched, eyes wide, as the Array devoured the seal within it, bit by bit.

In that moment, everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats.

’It all comes down to this!’

Countless eyes stared into the depths of the passageway. If the Array at the other end lit up, transferring the seal, they would succeed!

’One... two... three...’

Song Wanning counted silently in her head, watching as the Array’s light faded, bit by bit.

BOOM—

Deep within the passageway, the second Array suddenly flared to life.

A blinding light enveloped them, obscuring everything from view.

...

In the Spirit Realm and the Lower World.

The once-dark worlds were suddenly rocked by a tremor so violent that no one could remain standing.

The Cultivators, who could normally fly, were now like mortals, pinned to the ground by an immense gravitational force.

Countless mountains crumbled, and the lakes and seas roiled.

It was like the end of the world.

A deafening RUMBLE was all that could be heard as countless people began to cry out in terror.

They scrambled to find shelter, clinging to family and friends, shrouded in an unknown terror.

In that moment, everyone thought the world was ending!

’We’re all going to die!’

’No one can escape this!’

But worse was yet to come. The ground beneath their feet began to buck even more violently, as if it were flipping over, throwing everyone to the ground.

They tumbled helplessly as the world shook around them.

The terrified screams and collapsing mountainsides instantly transformed the world into a living hell.

At the Heavenly Abyss, a disturbance occurred as well. The seal loosened, and innumerable monsters poured out.

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable was prepared. He used an Array to block them all before drawing his sword and charging forward to meet them.

He slaughtered the monsters that had escaped in the chaos while simultaneously using all his power to suppress the seal.

’As long as I can hold it steady, there’s still hope for the Lower World!’

...

Time ticked by, second by agonizing second.

For everyone involved, time had never felt so slow.

The unending terror was driving them to the brink of collapse.

But just as they were about to fall into despair, the once-dark sky suddenly lit up.

Blinding sunlight streamed down upon the land.

Countless iridescent clouds appeared, filling the entire world with vibrant color.

The tremors stopped. The rumbling vanished.

Everything seemed to return to a state of peace, as if none of it had ever happened.

But the faces of some Cultivators changed drastically, for they realized their surroundings had, at some point, completely changed!

The same question rose in everyone’s mind.

’What in the world just happened?’

Meanwhile, the group in the passageway watched as the Array transferred the seal into the depths of the passage.

After the Array’s light died down, the seal materialized deep within the passageway.

It now sealed off the passageway from the spatial fissure.

Song Wanning could almost feel the impotent fury of the Wooden Sculpture World’s Heavenly Dao.

A faint smile touched her lips as her strength gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.

The others did the same. Seeing the seal successfully transferred, they no longer had the strength to stand and collapsed one by one.

Baili Shang and Xuan Yan glanced at the fallen group. After confirming no one’s life was in danger, they turned to attack the remaining monsters.

The spatial fissure was now sealed; no more monsters would emerge into the Lower World.

They just had to eliminate the ones that were left!

BOOM—

As the last monster was slain, Xuan Yan and Baili Shang also collapsed, their strength completely spent.

They had been running on fumes.

The group lay strewn across the floor, and the entire passageway fell silent.

After a long moment, they looked at one another and broke into laughter.

"Hahaha... I can’t believe we’re still alive!"

"I know! I was sure I was a goner!"

They laughed self-deprecatingly. Just being alive was a blessing. As for their Cultivation, they had already given up hope.

Song Wanning joined in, her laughter echoing through the passageway like the ringing of silver bells, a truly pleasant sound.

It was the first time she had laughed with such pure joy since her rebirth, free from any burdens or other emotions.

This feeling—the relief of surviving a catastrophe after fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with her comrades—filled her with joy.

’No one died!’

’The seal was moved successfully. We did it!’

The laughter echoed in the passageway for a long time before silence fell once more.

They all waited until they had recovered a bit of strength before carefully getting to their feet.

Song Wanning looked at Xuan Yan and suddenly smiled again.

"Sorry. I said I’d help you ascend to the Immortal Realm, but it looks like I’ve broken my promise."

She gave a wry smile. Back then, she had assumed everything would go smoothly.

Xuan Yan watched her with a complicated expression before letting out a sigh after a long moment.

"Since I’ve decided to follow you, I can wait for you to rebuild your Cultivation."

"I’ve already waited for hundreds of thousands of years. What’s a little more time?"

Song Wanning’s final act of self-sacrifice had completely won him over.

’Someone willing to give their life for their comrades can’t be a bad person!’

Hearing this, Song Wanning smiled. She looked him earnestly in the eyes and said, "Alright."

It was like a promise. For the first time, a silent understanding flowed between them.

Baili Shang watched them, a sour feeling churning in his heart.

’He never thought he’d one day be envious of a Demon.’

He supported the Demon King, looking at his father’s aged face, and silently squeezed his hand.

’No matter what, I will protect Father.’

’From now on, I will be the one to protect him!’

"Let’s go."

’The world outside has probably changed completely.’

A flicker of anticipation appeared in Song Wanning’s eyes, but it was quickly followed by a pang of anxiety.

’If Mom, Dad, and Master saw me like this, would they be sad?’

But she quickly put the thought aside.

’Appearance doesn’t mean anything. As long as I’m alive, I can rebuild my Cultivation.’

’One day, I will ascend again!’

Clinging to this firm belief, Song Wanning led the group out of the tomb.

The moment they stepped out of the tomb, their surroundings seemed both completely different and exactly the same.

But the iridescent clouds that filled the sky were especially striking.

Everyone looked up in unison.

In that instant, countless iridescent clouds converged above them, like clusters of burning flames celebrating the rebirth of the two worlds.

The clouds then swiftly descended, enveloping the entire group.

They all froze, startled. Then, an immeasurable amount of energy began to pour into their bodies as countless motes of golden light converged from every corner of the world, flowing madly into them.

Song Wanning received the most by far.

The brilliant golden light completely submerged her.

It was the power of merit!

Their reward for changing the fate of the entire world!
