System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

270: Triple cores returned to their original positions, chaos began to unfold.The golden torrent transformed from the order origin core, like the most skilled craftsman, used its contained infinite rules and sense of balance to begin a drastic yet meticulous reshaping of the complex and dangerous power system within Ye Chen’s body!

The chaos minor world bore the brunt of it.

The gray sky and thick earth were pierced and woven by countless fine golden chains of order. The Chaos Qi no longer flowed wantonly but, like a guided river, circulated orderly along the veins formed by the chains, dramatically increasing the efficiency and stability of evolving all things! The five-leaf Chaos seedling in the center, under the nourishment and restraint of the power of order, saw its fifth leaf completely unfurl. The return to silence Dao patterns on it intertwined with the newly born chains of order, emitting a strange gray-gold radiance, appearing even more miraculous.

The dark gray demon seal on his chest was now like a wild horse with a bridle. The rotation of the central vortex was incorporated into the order framework, and its process of devouring and transforming became more controllable and efficient. That dangerous balance was broken, turning into a stable power core completely dominated by Ye Chen’s will, continuously producing a brand new power that fused the characteristics of Chaos, return to silence, and the Abyss—a power of Chaos and silence that contained order!

The newly integrated order Origin acted like a foundation and skeleton, deeply embedded into the core of the chaos minor world and the demon seal, becoming the hub that governed and reconciled the other two powers.

This process was not smooth sailing. The three Origin powers, representing the extreme rules of the Universe, had huge repulsion and conflict in their essence. Even with the power of order as a framework, the rule collisions and energy surges produced during the Fusion were still like detonating countless micro-stars inside Ye Chen’s body!

”Ugh, ahhh—!”

The intense pain far exceeded any previous time! Ye Chen felt as if his Soul had been thrown into a furnace of rules, repeatedly forged and tempered! On the surface of his body, the scene of Chaos nebulae forming and destroying appeared on the left, while the gray decay of all things returning to silence permeated the right. Dark currents surged at the demon seal on his chest, while golden chains of order pierced through, forcibly constraining and integrating all these conflicting powers!

His aura fluctuated violently in the pain, sometimes rushing to the Peak of the Law Realm, sometimes falling back to the Late Stage, extremely unstable. His skin cracked, golden blood and gray currents dissipated continuously, and his whole person seemed as if he would completely disintegrate at any moment in this terrifying Fusion.

But he gritted his teeth, relying on the indestructible will forged through hardships and his profound understanding of the ”inclusive” true meaning of the Dao of Chaos, forcibly guiding this extremely dangerous transformation.

He knew this was the inevitable tribulation on the road to becoming stronger, the price that must be paid to carry the hope of saving the Ancient Path!

Time seemed to lose its meaning in this dilapidated palace of order.

I don’t know how long passed, perhaps an instant, perhaps an eternity.

When the most violent rule conflicts gradually subsided, and the three Origin powers in his body finally reached a dynamic and fragile balance under that golden framework—

”Boom!!!”

Ye Chen’s chaos minor world expanded several times over! The sky became higher, the earth thicker, and the boundaries of the world became blurred, as if it were about to evolve into a real Universe! The Chaos seedling in the center had grown into a small tree a foot tall, with five leaves corresponding to Chaos, return to silence, Abyss (balanced and transformed), order, and a new, nascent Chaos vitality containing infinite possibilities!

His cultivation, as if by natural course, forcibly broke through the barrier and stepped into the Peak of the Law Realm! And it was not just an initial entry, but directly stabilized at the Peak Realm, his aura vast and unfathomable!

The demon seal on his chest finally took shape. It was no longer an ominous gray, but had turned into a deep, dark golden vortex mark that seemed to contain a micro-Universe. The vortex rotated slowly, with Chaos nebulae, trajectories of return to silence, and chains of order intertwined and circulating inside, emitting a heart-stopping, majestic aura that commanded all Laws.

He had succeeded!

With the help of the order origin core, he had initially integrated the powers of the return to silence and order source cores with his own Chaos Origin and the mutated demon seal! Although the ”creation” source core had not yet been found, and the three source cores were not gathered, he had already been reborn, and his strength had undergone an earth-shaking change!

He slowly opened his eyes. In his eyes, Chaos nebulae formed and destroyed in the left, and chains of order circulated in the right. A point of gloomy light of return to silence appeared between his brows. His entire temperament became extremely profound and majestic, as if he were an ancient deity holding part of the authority of the Universe.

He looked down at the chaos and silence sword in his hand. The long sword had also undergone a transformation. The sword body became more archaic and dark, and besides the return to silence runes, there were many fine golden patterns of order. The source core crystal on the hilt had also turned into a mixture of Chaos and gold, and its power had increased by an unknown amount.

”How do you feel?” A weak voice sounded from the side.

Ye Chen turned his head and saw that Qing Lin had awakened at some point, leaning against a broken pillar. Her face was still pale, but her emerald-like eyes were looking at him brightly, full of shock and joy. She could clearly feel the distinct, awe-inspiring powerful aura on Ye Chen.

”Better than ever before.” Ye Chen smiled slightly, feeling the surging power and stable balance in his body, a strong confidence rising in his heart. He bowed solemnly again towards the throne: ”Thank you, Senior, for your help!”

Above the throne, the golden phantom had dimmed to the extreme, almost transparent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

”No need to thank me... This is the result of your own fortune and will...” The phantom’s voice was ethereal and weak, ”order has been passed on, my mission... is complete... I hope you... use it well... do not let down... the expectations of Hao and Yu...”

The voice gradually dissipated, and the golden phantom finally turned into points of light rain, completely merging into this dilapidated palace. Only the remaining lingering charm of order proved its past existence.

Ye Chen was silent, a trace of respect and tragedy rising in his heart. These ancient pioneers, in order to protect this world, had stepped forward one after another. Even if they died and their Dao vanished, they left behind back-ups, waiting for the continuation of hope.

”We should leave.” Ye Chen said to Qing Lin. Although it was temporarily safe here, it was not a place to stay for long. The Abyssal Lord had probably already sensed the anomaly of the order origin core.

Qing Lin nodded, struggling to stand up, but staggered due to weakness.

Ye Chen reached out to support her, and a pure, gentle energy containing Chaos vitality and the soothing power of order was transferred into her body, helping her stabilize her injuries and restore her Origin Qi.

”Where to next?” Qing Lin asked, feeling much better.

Ye Chen’s gaze seemed to pierce through the broken palace and look towards the endless Void Realm turbulence, saying in a deep voice: ”Go find the last source core—’creation’! According to the recording left by Senior Yu, it might be lost in the ’Forbidden Area of Life’.”

He paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes: ”And, I believe that the ’Void Abyss’ lord must also be frantically looking for us and the remaining source cores at this moment. We must find ’creation’ before it does!”

Only by gathering the three cores and resetting the Laws of the Ancient Path would there be the capital for the final battle with the lord!

However, just as Ye Chen was preparing to take Qing Lin to find a way to leave this wreckage of space and time—

The anomaly occurred again!

The dark golden vortex mark on his chest and the transformed sword in his hand seemed to have a certain mysterious and strong induction to the last ”creation” source core because two of the three source cores (return to silence, order) had been obtained!

A thread of green, extremely weak but carrying vigorous vitality and a warm aura, derived from the Void Realm. One end was connected to Ye Chen’s mark, and the other end pointed far away to a certain direction of the Void Realm turbulence!

That was... the guidance of the ”creation” source core!

Almost at the same time, a cold, tyrannical, and terrifying aura full of absolute destruction will, like an invisible storm, suddenly swept across this wreckage of space and time!

The voice of the Abyssal Lord ”Void Abyss”, containing endless anger and a trace of... urgency, rang like a funeral bell in the hearts of Ye Chen and Qing Lin:

”Thief... insect...”

”Hand over... the source core... otherwise... everything you cherish... will... turn into nothingness!”

Along with this voice, Ye Chen vaguely ”saw” a picture through the green induction thread—

Emerald Forest Realm! The ancient tree of life was burning and wailing under the monstrous magic flames! Countless Wood Spirit Clan members were struggling and annihilating in the magic tide!

The lord was actually using the entire Emerald Forest Realm as a threat!

Ye Chen’s fists clenched tightly, and monstrous killing intent erupted in his eyes!

”Void Abyss... you are courting death!”
