Chapter 156 : Echoes of Chaos l

Blue Pole Star, Floating Cloud City.

Floating Cloud City had undergone many changes. It was no longer the small, impoverished village it once was. Since the rise of the Tian Empire, all sects had been dissolved, and a branch of the Cultivators' Guild had been established. Everyone was able to obtain resources in exchange for completing tasks. More importantly, an academy had been built, providing education to all children and adults in the village for a nominal fee. Orphans, on the other hand, received shelter, food, and education for free, as they had no one to rely on.

However, even though the education of orphans was free, once they came of age and mastered a profession, they were required to donate 5% of their annual earnings to the academy for five years. Many people happily agreed to this, as the academy was not a charitable institution, and there was no harm in paying just 5% of their annual earnings for a short period of five years.

It wasn't just orphans who studied at the academy. Among the students were Xia Yuanba, the Young Master of the Xia Clan, and Xiao Lingxi, the Young Lady of the Xiao Clan.

Thanks to the academy, which had set up arrays throughout the city, the density and purity of Profound Energy had increased significantly, raising the power ceiling of Floating Cloud City. Previously, the limit was the Spirit Profound Realm, but now it had risen to the Sky Profound Realm, especially in the past two months, as the quantity and quality of Profound Energy had greatly improved, allowing the academy's arrays to perform exceptionally well.

However, at this moment, something unusual was happening in the Xiao Clan, specifically in Xiao Lingxi's room.

"This is impossible…" Xiao Lingxi murmured. Her hair had turned golden and grown longer, reaching her heels. Her eyes and skin had also taken on a golden hue. She had grown taller and become even more beautiful than before. In the past, she was beautiful, resembling a mercury flower, but now she was a mature woman of unimaginable, legendary beauty, surpassing even Xia Qingyue, who was once considered the most beautiful in the city. "The Ancestral Sacred Body… is complete…"

The Ancestral Sacred Body is the most supreme physical constitution in the Primal Chaos Realm. It is capable of inheriting the legacies of numerous True Gods and allows its owner to cultivate all laws without any issues, even opposing ones like Yin and Yang. This is something only an Ancestral God should possess—or so it was supposed to be. A few years ago, Xiao Lingxi, who was the reincarnation of the Ancestral God, did something entirely unexpected. She transferred the power of the Ancestral Sacred Body to Yun Che by sacrificing 600 lifetime reincarnations of the Ancestral God for him.

Although the will of the Ancestral God was initially unwilling, upon seeing Xiao Lingxi's determination, it relented and granted the Ancestral Sacred Body to Yun Che. Not only that, but it also manipulated fate, karma, and even time to ensure everything went smoothly for Yun Che.

But to her shock, the power of the Ancestral Sacred Body was now fully present in Xiao Lingxi's body—something impossible unless Yun Che had died. And his death should have been impossible, as fate was on his side, allowing him to survive any ordeal and even benefit from life-threatening situations. The power of fate was so terrifying that it could manipulate people's thoughts without them even realizing it, and they would notice nothing unusual. But it seemed fate had failed to protect Yun Che, as this was the only explanation for the complete Ancestral Sacred Body now residing in Xiao Lingxi's body.

"…" Upon reaching this conclusion, the will of the Ancestral God—or rather, the Ancestral God itself, as it was no longer just a will but had fully merged with Xiao Lingxi—did not hesitate to use its power to see everything that had happened to Yun Che. Although it didn't care much for him, as it now possessed billions of years of memories, and the memories between Yun Che and Xiao Lingxi were but a fleeting moment in its existence that stretched back to before the beginning of time, it was concerned about the existence that had managed to kill someone under the protection of fate—a being that might be the cause of the current chaos in the Blue Pole Star.

"I see. So, you are the one who killed Yun Che…" the Ancestral God said, slowly opening its eyes. It didn't even need to use its power to identify Yun Che's killer, as he appeared before it himself.

"…" Standing before the Ancestral God was a handsome man with golden hair reaching his waist and blood-red eyes. He exuded a transcendent aura that made anyone who looked at him feel insignificant.

"Should I say I'm honored to meet you…?" Yu Tian smiled mockingly as he spoke. Although he was technically a part of the Ancestral God, this was the first time he had met it in person. The being before him was the true Ancestral God, not some trivial reincarnation with no trace of its power or memories.

"Nirvana Devil Emperor…" the Ancestral God muttered, staring at him with slight surprise. "I didn't expect you to be the one who killed the Son of Destiny and destroyed fate and karma."

"Son of Destiny…?" Yu Tian muttered, quickly realizing it was referring to Yun Che, which caused his previously playful expression to twist into one of unconcealed disgust. "Don't make me laugh. Your actions and those of the so-called Son of Destiny have already destroyed the original fate and karma of this world."

Yu Tian didn't hide his disgust. The Ancestral God had already destroyed fate and karma, yet now it was blaming him. All he had done was kill the so-called Favored Sons of Heaven who had insulted him or posed a threat. Clearly, Heavenly Fortune would not allow him to live in peace after killing Yun Che.

"I admit that granting this power to Yun Che was a reckless decision…" Hearing Yu Tian's words and seeing the disgust on his face, the Ancestral God remained unaffected and spoke calmly. "But Yun Che was the Son of Destiny, and that was something beyond my control. Also, the scale of change I brought about was not as great as what you have done, Nirvana Devil Emperor."

Although the Ancestral God had manipulated the fate and karma of the entire Primal Chaos Realm and even used a bit of Original Energy to stop time and allow Yun Che to adapt to the power of the Ancestral Sacred Body, the amount of Original Energy it had used was so minimal that it didn't significantly affect the Primal Chaos Realm. In contrast, Yu Tian had recklessly used Original Energy to enhance this planet and the living beings on it, which would eventually lead to the destruction of the Primal Chaos Realm. It was impossible to maintain the existence of the Primal Chaos Realm without Original Energy.

"Sorry, but I don't think what I've done is as bad as what you've done, Ancestral God," Yu Tian said mockingly, believing it was referring to his killing of the Favored Children of Heaven, something he didn't consider wrong.

"I see. It seems there's no way to stop you from what you're doing, Nirvana Devil Emperor," the Ancestral God could only sigh, filled with helplessness and regret. "In that case, I suppose I'll have to stop you by force."

Although the Ancestral God didn't release any aura or anything of the sort, Yu Tian felt an immense and terrifying pressure from it, as if the universe itself was listening to its will to eliminate the source of its hostility.

"In the end, it has come to this…" Yu Tian smiled mockingly as he used his power to resist the pressure. Although it was terrifying, once he resisted, it disappeared. Clearly, the Ancestral God didn't have enough power to control the entire universe. "Let's go to a secluded place. I'm sure you also don't want the destruction to spread across the entire Primal Chaos Realm because of our fight."

"That's true…" After a moment of silence, the Ancestral God nodded, and the space around them distorted. They disappeared from Xiao Lingxi's room in the Blue Pole Star and reappeared in a place familiar to both of them, who had reincarnated for millions of years.

"Well of Samsara…" Yu Tian murmured, staring at the familiar place that once controlled the reincarnation system but was now just a space located in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning.

Although the Well of Samsara existed in the Forbidden Land of Samsara in the Dragon God Realm, the true core of the Primal Chaos Realm was the God Realm of Absolute Beginning. The true Well of Samsara was like a hidden world within the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, and the Well of Samsara in the Dragon God Realm was merely an entrance to it.
