Chapter 1081 - 489: Primordial Chaos Realm (Part 2)

However, not all beings eroded by Chaos can transform easily. In some distant corners of the Sea of Realms, certain beings thoroughly assimilated by the Power of Chaos, even giving birth to self-awareness, are "Chaos Mutant Bodies." They were once the vanguard under Chaos Devourer’s command, but now, under the Fire’s illumination, they fall into unprecedented chaos and pain. Their essence is "nothingness," yet the Law of "existence" is forcibly injected by the Fire, causing their bodies to constantly disintegrate and reform, emitting silent screams.

The awareness of the Fire incarnation swept across these mutant bodies, without pity, without disgust, only a transcendent peace. She knew this was the inevitable cost of transformation in the Sea of Realms. Her Fire is not indiscriminate salvation but follows the cosmic cycle laws. Those unable to endure transformation will eventually return to "nothingness," becoming part of the Chaos of the Sea of Realms, awaiting the next sprout of "existence."

"Fire is eternal, but it follows its own sequence." Her will echoed throughout the Sea of Realms, every word carrying the supreme truth of the Cosmos.

Deep within the Sea of Realms, the "Ultimate Nothingness" that once carried the core will of the Chaos Devourer is now completely enveloped by the Fire incarnation of the Seed of Eternity. Nourished by the Fire, the Seed of Eternity is no longer an obscure rune but like a radiant star, harboring a miniature Sea of Realms within. Inside, gold and black intertwine, the cycle of birth and extinction, Nirvana and vitality no longer oppose but nourish and achieve each other.

The Fire incarnation can feel that the Chaos Devourer, whose magnificent will once resounded, although its core consciousness has dissipated, its ultimate exploration of "nothingness" and profound understanding of "entropy" are absorbed and transformed perfectly by the Seed of Eternity. It is no longer the end of the Sea of Realms but has become the perfect Executor of the "Gui Xu" phase in the grand cycle of the Sea of Realms. It ensures the end of "existence" is not complete annihilation but provides the purest nourishment and space for the next birth of "existence."

But as for the former "Chaos Devourer," the being worshiped in terror by countless creatures within the Sea of Realms, where is it now?

But as for the former "Chaos Devourer," the being worshiped in terror by countless creatures within the Sea of Realms, where is it now?

It is not completely obliterated but integrated into the deepest veins of the Sea of Realms in a more secretive and profound manner. Its law of "nothingness," mastered by the Fire incarnation, is no longer pure devouring but transformed into the "end" and "zeroing" order within the Sea of Realms. Those universes with exhausted lifespans and disintegrating laws no longer collapse chaotically but return to the Chaos Origin in orderly fashion under the guidance of the tamed "nothingness" power, transforming into the purest energy, awaiting the Fire to ignite again, nurturing new existences.

In the depths of the Sea of Realms, ancient and grand wills, with an unprecedented frequency, are probing the area of the Fire incarnation. They are the true "primitives" of the Sea of Realms, older than the Chaos Devourer, and even longer-lasting than the existence of the Master of Nothingness. They were the first batch of consciousnesses born from the Chaos in the Sea of Realms, witnessing countless epochs’ tides rise and fall, once indifferent to the rise and rampage of the Chaos Devourer, as it adhered to the iron law of "disorderly birth and extinction" of the Sea of Realms.

However, the appearance of the Fire broke this iron law. It brought "eternal" cycles, "orderly" birth and extinction, causing these ancient wills to feel bewildered and, even, a tinge of unease.

"The Fire... it is changing the rules of the Sea of Realms." A hoarse will, like the friction of billions of stars, echoed in the depths of the Sea of Realms. It was the "Void’s Touch," an intangible and formless yet all-encompassing collection of consciousness, living by perceiving the "pulsation" of the Sea of Realms.

"It is creating... and also destroying." Another will, like the whisper of the Endless Abyss, that was the "Eye of Silence," which once had a certain resonance with the Chaos Devourer, for it likewise pursued the ultimate of "nothingness," but the "Gui Xu" path of the Fire made it feel strange.

"It transforms ’nothingness’ into the nourishment of ’existence,’ and transforms ’end’ into the prologue of ’rebirth’... This transcends our understanding of the Sea of Realms." A rumbling, like the collapse of ancient universes, resounded, that was the "Source of All Things," one of the largest and oldest consciousnesses in the Sea of Realms, which once thought it had uncovered all the mysteries of the Sea of Realms.

The Fire incarnation ignored these fluctuations of the ancient wills. Her consciousness had deeply fused with the underlying laws of the Sea of Realms; she could sense the confusion and vigilance of these wills, but she was far clearer of her mission. The path of Fire is to pioneer, to inherit, to let the true meaning of "eternity" take root and sprout in the endless Sea of Realms.

She cast her gaze towards the deeper depths of the Sea of Realms. There, countless cosmic bubbles, like lost boats, floated and sank in Chaos. Some universes had dimmed lights, collapsing laws, heading towards Nirvana; others were eroded by some strange force, deforming, issuing silent screams.

She could feel, amid countless cosmic bubbles, a weak yet exceptionally persistent call piercing through layers of Chaos, directly to her consciousness’s depths. That call was not a plea for help but an ultimate survival will, a shout struggling in Despair, trying to grasp one last glimmer of hope.

It was a universe named the "Primeval Chaos Realm." It was neither corroded by the tides of Nirvana nor devoured by the Chaos Devourer but trapped by an even older, more pure "Primeval Chaos." This Chaos was not the disorderly energy within the Sea of Realms but the primal state before all things differentiated at the universe’s birth. The Primeval Chaos Realm was like an embryo forgotten by time, eternally stuck in the "never begun" stage, unable to truly be born, nor thoroughly perish.

Its interior harboring countless undifferentiated Law Fragments, entangled, mutually repulsing, yet unable to form stable order. Some powerful entities once attempted to carve out realms within it, only to ultimately be assimilated by the Primeval Chaos, becoming part of the Chaos. They didn’t die but lost their sense of "self," becoming puppets of Chaos.

The Fire incarnation could sense, within the Primeval Chaos Realm, a weak "consciousness," which was its source’s "Dao," striving through long ages to break free from Chaos’s shackles yet always failing to find the method. It was calling for "order," calling for "beginning," calling for a being that could ignite it, letting it truly "be born."

"Ignite... Birth..." The Fire incarnation whispered in her consciousness. This was fundamentally different from the cosmos she guarded and the Other Shore Cosmos’s "Gui Xu" cycle. Those two universes were the end and rebirth of "existence," while the Primeval Chaos Realm was the stagnation and waiting of "nothingness."

Without hesitation, she transformed into a golden-black stream of light, once again charging towards the universe enveloped by Primeval Chaos.

As the Fire incarnation approached the Primeval Chaos Realm, she felt an unprecedented resistance. It was not malicious, nor an attack, but a supreme "chaos repulsion." Primeval Chaos, like a closed cocoon, rejected all external interference of order.

Golden-black light flourished around the Fire incarnation, using the Seed of Eternity as a guide, transforming the Power of Fire into the purest "light of order," attempting to penetrate the barriers of Primeval Chaos. Yet whenever the light of order touched Chaos, it would be instantly dissolved, becoming part of Chaos.

This made the Fire incarnation frown slightly. Her Power of Fire is the balance of "existence" and "nothingness," the cycle of "birth" and "extinction." It can transform Nirvana, nourish Gui Xu, but facing this "never begun" Pure Chaos, seemed somewhat powerless.

"This is not confrontation, but... guidance." A trace of enlightenment flashed through the Fire incarnation’s consciousness. The Primeval Chaos Realm, like an unlit fire seed, needs "ignition" rather than "extinction."
