Volume One: The Cataclysm of the Lich Chapter 138: The Fusion of Two Realms, The Growth of the Primordial World

“Houtu greets her uncle; I have worried you!”
As soon as Qingxuan appeared in the unfamiliar place, he heard Houtu’s voice.
“Houtu? Weren’t you…”
Then Qingxuan could no longer speak.
“I have troubled you, uncle. In truth, I did not vanish directly. Transforming my body into the cycle of reincarnation was the opportunity for me to achieve the Dao. Only through death can there be new birth. Life and death together form the complete cycle. Only by experiencing both, can I understand the true meaning of reincarnation and truly attain the realm of the Great Golden Immortal.”
At that moment, Qingxuan noticed that Houtu had indeed become a true Great Golden Immortal, her power countless times greater than before.
Hearing her words, Qingxuan suddenly gained insight into many things.
He himself had passed through life and death, and had experienced the shedding of his old body.
Now, listening to Houtu, he immediately fell into deep enlightenment.
Seeing this, Houtu quickly drew upon the power of the earth, sealing the area. For a time, it was as if this place had vanished from the primordial world, even time losing its meaning.
The figure of Yellow Springs suddenly appeared. Her main body, the incarnation of reincarnation, had reached the threshold of becoming a primordial spiritual root in chaos, cultivated by Qingxuan. Yet, due to the cycle never being complete, Yellow Springs was stuck, unable to break through.
Now, with Houtu’s few words, she instantly comprehended fully.
The cycle of reincarnation was perfected, gradually transforming into the Dao of Reincarnation.
As she sensed Yellow Springs’ Dao, Houtu realized there was a significant gap compared to her own understanding.
Observing Yellow Springs’ Dao, Houtu was inspired, gaining new insights herself.
It was unknown how much time passed. Shortly after Qingxuan opened his eyes, a powerful aura erupted from Yellow Springs.
She directly became a Great Golden Immortal, then transformed into a massive spirit root blooming with blood-red flowers.
Before Qingxuan could act, Houtu once again used the power of the earth, drawing countless strands of chaotic energy.
The Flower of Reincarnation rapidly absorbed and refined the chaotic energy.
However, the chaos Houtu drew in was insufficient for the Flower’s absorption speed.
Seeing this, Qingxuan activated the Chaos Pearl, releasing streams of chaotic spiritual energy to supply the Flower.
With Qingxuan’s help, the Flower quickly grew again, expanding several times in an instant.
Seeing the advancement completed, Qingxuan ceased his efforts and turned his gaze to Houtu.

“Since you are unharmed, I am relieved. I had thought you truly…”
But Houtu spoke,
“Though nothing ill has befallen me, now I can only guard this place. Pingxin must also watch over the realm of the Six Paths.
Unable to appear in the primordial world, I hope you, uncle, can look after my elder brothers.”
Houtu understood her brothers’ temperaments well and could only rely on Qingxuan.
“Rest assured, as long as I remain in the primordial world, nothing will happen to them!”
Qingxuan had confidence in this.
“Now that you are the Lord of the Earth, you likely know more than I do. Take care of yourself.”
After advising Houtu, Qingxuan departed. Of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, he trusted Houtu most.
Returning to the Sea of Blood, Qingxuan quickly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thirty-three heavens, across countless spaces, out beyond the primordial world.
“They have finally arrived!”
Qingxuan sighed.
Beyond the primordial world, a vast realm was steadily approaching.
Seeing this, Qingxuan immediately sent a message to Houtu, urging her to prepare.
Having dwelled in that world and now possessing the power of a Great Golden Immortal, Houtu understood the situation well.
Upon receiving Qingxuan’s message, she mobilized the power of the earth, pulling the approaching world of life toward the primordial realm.
The previously slow-moving world suddenly accelerated, crashing into the primordial realm.
Meanwhile, above the Eastern Sea,
“It’s finally here!”
Yang Mei looked up at the sky.
As the two worlds touched, countless fragments of chaos were swept into the primordial realm.
Numerous immortal islands rich in spiritual energy appeared across the four seas, with few landing on the continent.
When these islands plunged into the sea, the larger ones were immediately sealed by the heavenly and earthly powers, Houtu, Qingxuan, and even Yang Mei, using countless restrictions.

The smaller fragments were simply ignored.
It wasn’t that they thought little of them, but these fragments had little impact on the primordial world.
As for the sealed fragments, they carried dense chaotic spiritual energy. If not handled properly, they could destroy countless living beings, or even damage the world’s origin.
While sealing the chaotic fragments, Houtu, in the earth’s space, continually drew the origin of the world of life, stuffing it into the earth’s space and the Nine Nether Underworld.
Pingxin quickly integrated this origin into the Nine Nether Underworld, causing its essence to grow and expand rapidly.
Far to the southern continent, Five Aggregates hurried to seize the origin of the world of life. Linked to Qingxuan by their primordial spirits,
He could directly transfer the pure origin via the world core, distributing it among the five elements realms.
He also gave some to the blessed lands opened by Zhenyuanzi, which swiftly transformed into small worlds,
far beyond Zhenyuanzi’s expectations.
Qingxuan transferred some to Buzhou Mountain and secretly kept a portion for himself.
Over tens of thousands of years, a world that had existed for countless ages was gradually consumed by Qingxuan, his companions, and the primordial realm.
In the end, only the world core remained. As the Wheel of the Heavenly Dao tried to absorb it,
the Wheel suddenly halted before the core, which then pierced through countless spaces and arrived before Qingxuan, who took it.
Ignoring the Heavenly Dao’s fury, Qingxuan began to examine his gains.
A seven-colored world core, comparable to a supreme treasure of chaos, the essence condensed from countless ages.
A chaotic spirit root; Qingxuan tossed it casually through countless spaces and dimensions, sending it to the source space of the earth.
The spirit root took hold, its roots reaching into the chaotic space.
“This time, countless ages have been spared for the primordial world. Great changes are coming.”
Ultimately, the earth gained the greatest benefit, whether Qingxuan, Five Aggregates, Houtu, or the others.
All helped the earth grow.
As Qingxuan formed this thought, he noticed countless mountains in the primordial world rising, and the land expanding several times over.
Such transformation terrified many beings; the land cracked, seas rose, continents ascended, rivers widened, lakes grew.
All happened frequently.
