Chapter 472 The Immortal Emperor Resurrected! The Spirit of the World's Origin!
As time went by, the entire Northern Wilderness Hills was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.
This made many powerful members of the Tomb Keeper lineage quite uncomfortable, but they knew more or less about the matter, so they had no complaints and instead sealed off the Northern Wilderness Hill.
Of course, there were also some exceptionally talented individuals who, through the aura of the soul lamp, subtly grasped the opportunity.
This includes Fan Wuye.
Above the deep pit, Chu Yang stood in mid-air, while Ye Tao and Wu Ming had already hidden far away, fearing that they would be affected by the flames of the Soul Lamp.
Under the tempering of the lamplight, the remaining bloodline of the Immortal Emperor and the essence of the earth's origin have completely merged, and the remnant will belonging to the Immortal Emperor has finally condensed into a remnant soul.
However, the power of the earth's origin played a crucial role in the process of condensing the remnant soul.
Just as Chu Yang had predicted, the remnant soul of the Immortal Emperor was developing in a peculiar direction.
灵！
The spirit that controls the laws of the world!
The Soul Lamp is the ultimate manifestation of Fengdu's control over souls. Repairing or even creating souls is not difficult.
But the problem is that the Immortal Emperor only has a remnant will left, not even a remnant soul, so how can he repair it?
If Chu Yang creates a completely new soul, even if it inherits some of the Immortal Emperor's memories, it will still be an independent individual with almost no relation to the Immortal Emperor.
This is equivalent to creating a defective clone, and cannot be called a resurrection at all.
Therefore, Chu Yang combined the power of the world's origin with the remaining will of the Immortal Emperor, and used the flames of the Soul Lamp to refine the Immortal Emperor's remnant soul.
The soul has changed in essence, but it is still the Immortal Emperor, and nothing else, and it carries all his memories.
The rest became much easier. Chu Yang used the lamplight to continuously repair the remnant soul. This process was wondrous and gave him many insights, from which he benefited greatly.
Just before the remnant soul of the Immortal Emperor was completely condensed into a complete soul body and transformed into a "spirit," the sky and earth of the Northern Wilderness Hill suddenly changed color, and a dazzling golden light pierced through the dark sky.
The feeling was as if someone had cleaved through a black curtain that blotted out the sky with a single sword.
Chu Yang raised his head slightly, looked at the golden light in the sky, and narrowed his eyes.
Golden light and shadow danced in the air, but made no further move.
That was the manifestation of the power of the world's will. Chu Yang created a world spirit, which once again touched its bottom line.
However, having learned from the previous lesson, the World Will dared not act rashly and was now more like testing and scrutinizing Chu Yang.
It's as if they're asking...
"Can you, now, once again rally the fighting spirit of all beings in the vast world?"
Chu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp, and said with a half-smile, "If you want to stop me, feel free to try!"
"Even if I cannot draw upon the fighting spirit of all living beings, you, in your current state, may not be able to stop me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang held the Soul Lamp in one hand and slowly opened his other hand, revealing the [Heavenly Palace] in his palm.
Seemingly recalling the terrifying cataclysmic lightning tribulation, the golden light and shadow fluctuated violently before slowly dissipating.
The last clash damaged the very essence of the world's will, so this time He was afraid, or rather, he had some reservations and dared not rashly attack Chu Yang again.
Even if a portion of its power is about to be taken away, the world's will can only swallow its anger and resentment.
Chu Yang smiled, then put away the [Heavenly Palace], and the soul lamp in his other hand suddenly trembled, and a dark green light surged out.
A painful groan rang out again, but this time, there was a hint of excitement mixed in with the sound.
The Immortal Emperor's consciousness has returned, and he is currently experiencing both pain and pleasure.
Pain comes from the feeling of the lamplight scorching the soul, while joy comes from the impending return to this long-lost world.
About fifteen minutes later, Chu Yang shook his hand, and all the lights disappeared, followed by the dissipation of the soul lamp.
The black curtain of the sky next door slowly faded away, the Gate of Hell and the Bridge of Helplessness gradually faded, and [Fengdu] reappeared in Chu Yang's hands.
Putting away [Fengdu], Chu Yang stared ahead until all the strange phenomena dissipated, at which point a figure slowly materialized.
However, the figure seemed somewhat unstable, and after barely managing to take human form, it suddenly dissipated.
But both Chu Yang and Wu Ming could clearly sense that a powerful being had appeared in this world.
"Young friend, your talent is extraordinary, and your methods are unpredictable and astounding; you are truly admirable!"
A voice as loud as a great bell resounded, and Wuming's soul immediately began to fluctuate violently.
"Master..." Wuming's voice was choked with emotion. If he weren't in a soul state, he would probably already be in tears.
"Little one, I went to great lengths to gather your spirit back then, and even on my deathbed, I preserved your soul from destruction. Yet, for tens of thousands of years, you have tried every means to seek death. Do you know your crime?"
Upon hearing the Immortal Emperor's words, Wuming's expression froze, and he asked blankly, "Master...you...you knew all this?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Chu Yang, subconsciously assuming that Chu Yang had told the Immortal Emperor all of this.
The Immortal Emperor's voice rang out again, "This has nothing to do with young friend Chu. My remaining remnants have long existed within the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array, so I have been watching what is happening on the Northern Wilderness Continent all along."
"Now that the soul has been reshaped, everyone naturally knows this."
A smile appeared on Chu Yang's face.
He hadn't thought of that, but since that was the case, it would save him a lot of trouble.
The Immortal Emperor knows everything that has happened in the Northern Wilderness Hills over the past tens of thousands of years, which is equivalent to having a comprehensive understanding of the Great Thousand Worlds today.
After all, for tens of thousands of years, whenever a major event occurred, it was invariably linked to the Northern Wilderness Hills.
Ignoring Wuming any further, the Immortal Emperor continued, "Thank you for the good fortune bestowed upon me, young friend Chu, but I am still not used to my current state, so I cannot meet with you."
"Once we have stabilized our position, I will personally express my gratitude!"
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "Senior, there's no need for that. Allowing you to be resurrected through the power of the earth's spirit is partly due to my own selfish motives."
"I presume you already know about my relationship with the will of the world."
"Whether it's rebuilding the Heavenly Dao or breaking with the will of the world in the future, we will probably need the help of our predecessors."
Don't think that the power of the Great Thousand Worlds is weak just because Chu Yang was able to defeat the World Will.
On the contrary, the world's fundamental power in the Great Thousand Worlds is very strong. Even if Chu Yang reaches the Dominator Realm and relies on the fighting spirit of all living beings, he will never be able to contend with it.
The reason he was able to defeat the world's will was that the world's will could not fully mobilize the power of the world's origin.
Otherwise, when the Heavenly Evil God led the extraterrestrial evil race to invade the Great Thousand World, the World Will could have easily wiped them out.
Ultimately, both the Great Thousand Realms and the Heavenly Origin Realm belong to the same great world.
The relationship here is similar to that between the lower plane and the greater world.
Therefore, even the world's will in the vast universe must follow the laws of that world.
The will of the world can guide the development of a region, but it cannot forcibly intervene.
The world's will can only directly influence or mobilize forces that are inexplicable and difficult to define, such as fortune and calamity.
As for the external manifestations of the vast world, such as mountains and rivers, time and space, and all living things, we can only exert a side-by-side, indirect influence.
These are the essence of the vast universe, and also the embodiment of the origin of the world.
The Immortal Emperor became the Spirit of the Earth, wielding the power of the Earth's origin, which is equivalent to having ultimate control over the origin of the world's earth.
With just a thought, he could cause mountains to crumble and the earth to sink.
It can also easily create a continent or a mountain range.
If the world's will wants to achieve this, it needs to indirectly guide it with the power of the world's origin, and then reach its goal over a long period of time.
But the spirit of the earth can do it at any time.
This is equivalent to...
The world's will is more like a high-ranking "chairman," able to centrally coordinate and control the overall direction of a company.
However, the decisions He makes require the implementation of those below Him and the cooperation of multiple departments to complete.
The primordial spirit is the highest leader of a department. As long as he gives an order, the department will start operating quickly without the need for layers of approval or any resistance.
This example may be somewhat inappropriate, but it is quite intuitive...
Of course, under normal circumstances, the world's will could easily unleash a cataclysmic calamity to annihilate the primordial spirit.
However, Chu Yang's existence became an unstable factor, making him hesitant to act rashly.
"Little Peach, it's time to go!"
Chu Yang waved to Ye Tao, or hesitated for a moment, before wrinkling his nose and coming to her side.
Looking at Ye Tao's expression, Chu Yang said thoughtfully, "Did the aura of the Soul Lamp make you feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Tao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked in return, "The Soul Lamp... is it that oil lamp that smells terrible and emits green flames?"
Chu Yang nodded, finding Ye Tao's description somewhat amusing.
Ye Tao pouted and said, "I don't like it! The smell is awful! And it makes me feel really uncomfortable!"
Chu Yang didn't say anything more, which was obviously because of Ye Tao's own bloodline rejection.
However, he also possessed Ye Tao's bloodline, yet he did not feel any discomfort, presumably due to their shared origin.
Just then, Ye Tao suddenly said out of the blue, "But the aura emanating from the lightning you use to strike people makes me feel very comfortable. Could you...?"
Ye Tao seemed hesitant for a moment, but finally asked expectantly, "Will you... chop me too?"
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, then felt a bit dumbfounded.
Actively seeking to be struck by lightning?
What kind of strange hobby is this?
But then he thought about it again and understood what Ye Tao meant.
The Soul Lamp is the embodiment of the origin of Fengdu, while the Divine Thunder Jade Palace is the embodiment of the origin of Tianque.
Ye Tao clearly felt a certain aversion to the origin of Fengdu due to her own bloodline, but instead felt closer to the origin of Tianque.
This discovery brought Chu Yang a slight surprise.
The power of the Ye Tao bloodline that one has refined will more or less lose some of its original characteristics, especially when they are of the same origin, they will not reject other powers that he possesses.
As the source of the bloodline, Ye Tao experiences nature most directly.
Since she is close to the origin of [Tianque], it means that Ye Tao's bloodline and the origin of [Tianque] have some kind of connection.
If the two could be combined, along with the ultimate gene of the Divine River, could the power of the Void be enhanced?
Chu Yang felt it was quite feasible, and he had unlocked another topic worth studying.
The two quickly returned to the Tomb Guardian Village. Wuming did not follow; he was now completely focused on the Immortal Emperor and paid no attention to anything else.
The Immortal Emperor also needs some time to adapt to the current situation, which will allow the master and servant to catch up.
In the courtyard, the Green-Robed Sword Saint still stood there, staring intently at the two characters "Slaying Heaven" left by Chu Yang on the stone table, his eyes occasionally condensing with sword intent.
The Undying Lord changed his posture. He was now sitting on a stone bench and no longer staring at the words "Reincarnation". Instead, he raised his head slightly and faced the distance.
That direction... is where the deep pit is!
A smile appeared on Chu Yang's face. The words he left for the Green-Robed Sword Saint and the Undying Lord were like two keys, each helping them open a door.
Whether they can cross the threshold, or even enter the inner sanctum, depends on their own understanding and fortune.
Clearly, the Undying Lord possesses high comprehension and is well-suited to this path.
Therefore, during Chu Yang's resurrection of the Immortal Emperor, the Undying Lord seized a fleeting opportunity and gained some insight.
Chu Yang did not linger in the courtyard, but instead sought out an elder from the lineage of the tomb keeper.
Chu Yang was slightly surprised to learn that Fan Wuye had also gained some enlightenment and was in seclusion, but he didn't think much of it.
After saying hello, he took Ye Tao and left the Northern Wilderness Hill.
The Northern Wilderness Hills are now in a state of utter devastation. In the past, the Northern Wilderness Continent was almost completely destroyed and torn apart, which is how the Northern Wilderness Hills were formed.
After the two great battles between Chu Yang and the Heavenly Evil God, and between him and the World Will, the Northern Wilderness Hills once again suffered a devastating blow.
Now, the Northern Wilderness Hills, except for the area covered by the Great Thousand Demon-Slaying Array, has almost completely collapsed.
It is conceivable that before long, the once glorious Northern Wilderness Continent will be completely submerged in history.
After returning to the Divine Continent with Ye Tao, Chu Yang immediately summoned Tang Huo'er, as well as all the core leaders of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect.
Unifying the Great Thousand World a year later was a major event for the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Thousand World, and even for Chu Yang.
During this year, he will formulate a set of laws and gradually improve them by combining various factors from the Great Thousand Worlds.
Formulating laws was not a difficult task for him. Chu Yang directly entered the Soul Palace and obtained a complete set of laws from Chu Yang of the Ming Dynasty for free.
The world of the Great Ming Dynasty is somewhat unique, containing demons, monsters, and even Taoist and Buddhist elements. In some ways, it is quite similar to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Therefore, the laws governing the world in the Ming Dynasty can be directly applied to the Great Thousand World.
Of course, the laws still need further improvement and some changes to adapt to the vast world.
However, Chu Yang didn't need to handle this personally; he directly entrusted it to the higher-ups of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect.
Tang Huo'er already had experience in formulating management systems and the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, so this was not difficult for her.
But seeing her teacher hand everything over to her and once again become a hands-off manager, this young Empress of Great Xia couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
Her way of expressing her dissatisfaction was also very simple: she pestered Chu Yang to accompany her on a tour of the entire Divine Continent… (End of this chapter)
