World Inside the Vase.

Lin Xiyue lay quietly on the grass, her expression devoid of sorrow or pain. She was like a puppet, allowing Dream and Asura to move up and down on her body.

In truth, she did not resist the body pressing down on her, because it belonged to the person she loved most.

She also knew that only she could keep this body alive.

She slowly turned her head to look at Xun Mi's corpse beside her, her eyes gradually moistening.

"Sister Mi… I will definitely… avenge you."

At this moment, Master Ping, Mei Ji, and the Great Qian of Tai Ah were desperately trying to stop what Dream and Asura were doing to Lin Xiyue.

However, the blood-red light shield was like the strongest barrier in the world, impervious to any method they used to attack it.

A long time passed. Dream and Asura, having finished, slowly stood up. After casting a meaningful glance at Lin Xiyue, he cleaved through The Void with his sword and left the World Inside the Vase.

…

「Shanhai Territory.」

A graceful figure streaked across The Void at an astonishing speed, finally landing in a deep mountain range.

"How long do you intend to stay inside my body?"

Pale and half-kneeling on the ground, Watari Kagura clutched her chest as she spoke with difficulty.

Previously, the Evil Ancient God had used her body to battle Dream and Asura. Ultimately, being no match for them, he had to flee the Divine Organ Ground.

The Evil Ancient God transformed into a wisp of black smoke, which condensed into a human form in the empty space before her. He spoke, "You possess my bloodline and can perfectly wield my divine power."

"And so?"

The Evil Ancient God said, "A god with humanity is a true god."

Watari Kagura looked at the Evil Ancient God with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was trying to convey.

Just then, the Evil Ancient God spoke again, "From now on, you will become me. You must stop that monster Asura; he is even more terrifying than those fools from the Cosmic Great Wall."

…

…

「World Inside the Vase.」

Master Ping controlled the Dao Law God Chain and opened a spatial entrance in The Void. He said to Lin Xiyue, "Through this entrance, you can return directly to Earth."

Lin Xiyue's steps were slightly staggering as she walked toward the spatial entrance, holding Xun Mi's corpse.

Suddenly, she stopped and asked, "Master Ping, what about you?"

"Sigh!"

Master Ping let out a sigh. "I have slept for many years. Upon waking and meeting Luo Xiu, I felt I had found my place… Now that he's dead, I have nowhere else to go."

He continued, "I'll probably find a quiet place to continue my slumber."

Lin Xiyue nodded. "We'll meet again someday."

"We'll meet again someday. Take care."

…

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

When Luo Xiu leisurely awoke, he found himself lying in a vast, white space.

Suddenly, his expression lifted as he realized he had been to this space before.

This was the Human Sanctuary deep within his Dantian, which had formed after he absorbed the Divine Oracle Key!

"Why am I here?"

He murmured to himself, but to his surprise, a voice responded from The Void. "Previously, your soul had perished. I used the last of the Oracle Power in your body to shape a Divine Soul for you."

The voice from The Void was that of a young man.

Luo Xiu looked around, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

At some point, a young man wearing a white robe with an indistinct face had appeared before him.

"You are…"

The young man said, "I am what you call an Ancient God. You may call me Ji Gu."

He continued, "Because you now possess a Divine Soul, you are able to see this Residual Soul of mine that has merged with the Oracle Power."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu was taken aback. "Thank you," he said.

Although he did not fully understand what was going on, being alive was a good thing.

Ji Gu said, "You are the fated one I have been waiting for."

Luo Xiu asked, "Why were you waiting for me?"

Ji Gu replied, "Before I fell in battle, I saw the distant future. A wisp of my Divine Soul traveled through eons to find that Dao Flower and bring it to this New Era."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu frowned slightly. "The Dao Flower you speak of… is it the Creation Green Lotus?"

"Yes."

"What exactly is the origin of the Creation Green Lotus?"

Ji Gu shook his head gently. "You can think of it as the crystallization of Dao and laws, left behind in the universe by an existence that transcends deities after they returned to oblivion."

"And the Creation Green Lotus is one of them."

Luo Xiu fell silent, feeling as if the explanation had said nothing at all.

Ji Gu said, "In fact, our meeting here in this way was destined many years ago."

"Luo Xiu, only you can stop him and protect All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, just as the Azure Emperor once did."

Luo Xiu asked, "Who are you referring to when you say 'him'?"

Ji Gu replied, "The Supreme Heavenly Emperor from the Universe Divine Court. He is a being close to a god, perhaps one who can even surpass gods."

"Back then, I perished in his campaign to slay the gods. Even the evil thoughts that I separated from myself were suppressed by his people."

"Now that you've formed a Divine Soul, you too can accomplish many things. The last sanctuary of the Kunlun Ancient Realm is now yours to protect."

"As for how to use this Divine Soul, you can explore on your own or ask the Tai Ah Divine Bottle."

…

Luo Xiu looked at the young man who seemed to be talking to himself, his heart brimming with confusion and unanswered questions. But just as he was about to speak, the young man suddenly vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air, never having been there at all.

…

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

When Luo Xiu opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in ruins.

Looking around, he saw floating shards of earth everywhere, like a scene from the apocalypse.

"You've finally woken up."

Hearing the voice, Luo Xiu turned his head to look at the vase beside him and asked, "Master Ping, what happened?"

Master Ping let out a sigh. "That's a long story. Fortunately, you're alive, so I no longer need to find another Dao companion."

"Also, I can sense the aura of your Divine Soul. It's identical to that of an Ancient God. I presume you've met an Ancient God."

Luo Xiu recalled the dreamlike scene in that other space and nodded lightly. "My soul had nearly dissipated. It was he who crafted a Divine Soul for me, saving my life."

"How did I end up here? Where are Xi Yue and the others?"

"Well…"

Master Ping hesitated.

"Previously, you were controlled by the Sword Spirit of that blade, wandering this Divine Organ Ground. By the time I found you, you had already passed out."

"As for Xi Yue, I have already sent her back to Earth."

"Watari Kagura was controlled by the Evil Ancient God and is now missing. She probably fled."

"That Mei Ji also left, saying she wanted to go for a stroll elsewhere."

"As for Xun Mi… she's dead. You killed her."

"No, to be precise, Asura killed her."
