System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

226: The ancestral symbols are complete, and the ancient road will soon be opened.The area of the Law core returned to a brief calm after the storm. The repelled ”Void Eye” faded into the depths of the wounds, and the remaining Void tentacles retreated like the tide, leaving behind only those Law cores repaired by the seed of chaos, radiating a long-lost, pure, and active Law radiance.

Ye Chen’s consciousness floated in the center of the ocean of light, feeling the seamless, intimate connection between himself, the seed of chaos, and the chaos ancestral talisman. After the thrilling clash of wills and the Law restoration just now, his Dominator of Chaos will had been tempered like never before, becoming more solid and resilient, as if he had truly touched the edge of controlling his own destiny and even influencing the Laws of a Universe.

The greatest change, however, came from the chaos ancestral talisman within his Qi Sea.

After successfully repelling the Void will and assisting the seed of chaos in repairing part of the Laws, the stable triangular structure on the surface of the ancestral talisman, composed of the three fragments of Heart, Eye, and Power, was undergoing an earth-shattering change at this moment!

That fourth fragment, which was originally just a vague shadow, was becoming real at an unprecedented speed under the nourishment of the pure and vast restorative Origin of the seed of chaos! Countless profound Chaos Dao patterns, representing meanings such as ”Source,” ”Life,” ”Repair,” and ”Harmony,” were born from the void as if they had life, quickly weaving and imprinting themselves onto the newly born fragment!

”Hum—hum—hum—!”

The chaos ancestral talisman emitted a grand humming sound like the beginning of the Universe. Its form was no longer a simple talisman body; it began to evolve into a more complex structure closer to the form of the Chaos Origin! The four fragments of Heart, Eye, Power, and Source were no longer isolated individuals, but like four pillars supporting the sky, forming a more stable and profound tetrahedron structure!

The moment the last Dao patterns completely solidified—

”Boom!!!”

A wave of Perfection, freedom, and a majestic aura that seemed to have broken free from some invisible shackles erupted from the chaos ancestral talisman! Four-colored light—Chaos gray representing energy, starry silver representing insight, golden yellow representing power, and mild green representing life and repair—interwove and flowed, finally fusing perfectly into a single color: the original color of Chaos! An Origin color that seemed to contain all possibilities, yet presented the most simple state of ”Nothingness”!

chaos ancestral talisman, the fourth core fragment—the ”Source” fragment, completed!

Although it might not be the complete form (perhaps there were other fragments scattered), the return of the four core fragments of Heart, Eye, Power, and Source had already caused the essence of the chaos ancestral talisman to leap qualitatively! It was no longer just a powerful tool or an object of Legacy, but had truly begun to revive its supreme power as one of the authorities of the Universe’s Origin!

Ye Chen could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the ancestral talisman had transcended the category of host and Magic Treasure; it was more like a symbiotic, fate-linked partnership. The will of the ancestral talisman was clearer, and the information transmitted was no longer fragmented or blurry, but had become coherent and full of wisdom.

A force of Origin, far purer and closer to the Great Source of Chaos than any previous time, like warm amniotic fluid, was feeding back into Ye Chen’s Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Domain. Although his cultivation still remained at the ninth level of the Tiangang Realm, the thickness of his Foundation had reached the extreme of this realm, even faintly touching that supreme barrier that isolated the mortal world from the Laws! The Chaos Domain spontaneously began to evolve into a more complex prototype of a world, with shadows of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars appearing and disappearing within it.

He slowly opened his eyes (his consciousness’s perception), his eyes reflecting the chaos ancestral talisman, which was now completed, its radiance restrained yet appearing more profound, his heart filled with shock and joy. This step of crossing was of great significance!

However, just as he was immersed in the huge improvement brought by the completion of the ancestral talisman, the revived seed of chaos once again transmitted a clear and urgent guiding thought. This time, it did not point to a fragment, nor to other Law cores, but to the edge of this Law core area, a place that was extremely hidden, where even the light flow of Laws detoured—a space fold!

From within that fold, a trace of aura that was of the same Origin as the chaos ancestral talisman, yet older and more vast, faintly radiated, as if connecting to some forgotten time and space.

”That is...?” Ye Chen felt the induction, and his consciousness flew toward that space fold.

The closer he got, the clearer that vast and ancient aura became. At the same time, the myriad laws star disk (Eye) also started to operate spontaneously. On the star map, a coordinate that had never been lit up, located outside all known Star Domains, was emitting a faint yet firm light! Its position remarkably coincided with this space fold!

”Wall of Origin... is not the end... beyond it... there is still... Ancient Path...” The clearer will of the chaos ancestral talisman slowly transmitted information, ”This is... the entrance to the ’Origin Ancient Path’... it is also... the outpost... for the generations of Chaos Walkers... to battle... the ’Void’...”

Origin Ancient Path? Chaos Walker? An outpost to battle the Void?

Ye Chen’s mind was shaken. So, behind the Wall of Origin, such a secret was hidden! Could this so-called Ancient Path be a passage connecting different Universes, or leading to the lair of the ”Void”? And were those ”Chaos Walkers” predecessors like him, who inherited the authority of Chaos, walked through the heavens, and fought against the Void?

He tried to probe his Divine Sense into the space fold.

”Boom!”

A massive, indescribable torrent of time and space and vast Battle Intent, like a burst dam, instantly impacted his Divine Sense! He seemed to see countless broken worlds floating on both sides of the Ancient Path, saw the corpses of various strange, long-extinct races floating among them, saw broken stars, collapsed Daos... and even saw countless scenes of brutal, indescribable battles against various twisted Void creatures!

This Ancient Path was full of endless danger, and it also carried the blood and bones of countless predecessors!

But at the same time, he also sensed a few extremely weak, yet tenaciously inextinguishable auras that were of the same Origin as the chaos ancestral talisman, scattered in the depths of the Ancient Path! Was that... a mark left by other Chaos Walkers? Or... was it a fragment of authority left behind after they fell?

Crisis and opportunity coexist!

Ye Chen’s gaze became extremely sharp. He knew that this was his true mission! Repairing the scars of the Laws could never be accomplished by closing doors and building carts; he must take the initiative, follow this Ancient Path, find other fellow travelers, fight to the Void’s lair, and collect the scattered authority, in order to truly reverse the war situation that had lasted for who knows how many epochs!

”It seems that this is the true starting point of the journey.” He whispered to himself, his consciousness filled with determination.

He did not hesitate, his consciousness returned to his main body (the Physical Body that had been staying outside the Wall of Origin, touching the wall). The moment his consciousness returned, the completed chaos ancestral talisman and the revived seed of chaos turned into two streams of light, one returning to his Qi Sea, and the other hanging in his Sea of Consciousness between his eyebrows, reflecting the chaos primordial fetus.

He slowly withdrew his hand that was touching the Wall of Origin. At this moment, the giant wall was already different in his ”eyes”; he could clearly ”see” the hidden entrance of the space fold, like a tiny vortex, slowly rotating on the wall surface.

He needed to prepare. The Origin Ancient Path was dangerous and unknown; he had to adjust his state to the Peak, and familiarize himself with all the new abilities of the completed chaos ancestral talisman.

He sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to digest all the gains from this trip to the Origin with all his strength, consolidate his cultivation at the Tiangang Realm ninth level, and practice the newly born ”Source” authority and the more perfect Chaos Domain.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, his whole body’s aura was already natural and seamless, as profound as an abyss. He stood up, and the guixu sword, sensing its master’s more majestic power and firm will, emitted a clear sword hum.

He took one last look at this familiar starry sky, his gaze sweeping over those vaguely existing, cold gazes of surveillance (the eyelines of the Annihilation Legion), and a cold arc hooked at the corner of his mouth.

”When I return from the Ancient Path, I will settle the score with you one by one.”

Before the words fell, his figure moved, not by performing space travel, but by invoking the power of the completed chaos ancestral talisman and the aura of the seed of chaos between his eyebrows!

”Origin Ancient Path, open!”

He took a step toward the space fold on the Wall of Origin!

”Hum!”

The space fold on the wall suddenly expanded, turning into a rotating entrance of a passage composed of Chaos Laws! A vast, ancient, and battle-filled power of time and space surged out from within!

Ye Chen’s figure instantly plunged into the passage and disappeared.

After he entered, the passage slowly shrank and finally completely disappeared into the Wall of Origin, as if it had never appeared.

Only that cold starry sky, and those lost prying eyes in the dark, proved that a new Chaos Walker had already stepped onto that Ancient Path full of thorns and glory.

And the moment he stepped into the Ancient Path and his figure was wrapped in the turbulence of time and space, he faintly felt that in the deep and far distance of the Ancient Path, there seemed to be a few intentions that also contained the aura of Chaos, but were older and more exhausted, fluctuating slightly, as if silently welcoming, or... issuing a final warning.

The new journey begins under his feet.
