Chapter 998: The Creator Realm

"New members of the Demon Races have been born!" Great Demon God Fa Ji exclaimed from within the Ruin Realm. Catching the scent of an aberration drifting from the bizarre mist, he added in shock, "No! It's not just the Demon Races. Hosts of new life from various races are emerging all at once!"

Luan Ji was stunned. "Who is giving rise to life within the bizarre mist?"

"I-I can feel it!" Pang Ling cried. "New abysses are quietly taking shape!"

As she stood gracefully atop the crown of the World Tree, she realized that an external force of higher order had manipulated her, compelling her to offer up her Dao of Life in the form of life seeds.

Her Rank Thirteen World Tree body, the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis, and the shard of the Dao Source of Life fused into her all throbbed in fervent resonance with this manipulating party, allowing her to behold the marvels unfolding within the four new abysses as well.

This was the domain of a Creator!

The birth of the innumerable starry regions, the rise of the abysses in the bizarre mist, and the birth of life itself all seemed to be modeled in the creation of the four new abysses.

"New abysses are being formed?" Han Yi and Ying Yue were dumbstruck.

High-ranking Gods like them could hardly comprehend the abilities of those two ancient supreme wills. They could only watch on in awe. Witnessing this battle between such omnipotent existences was, in their eyes, the greatest fortune imaginable. It was an experience they could never hope to attain on their own.

The Fey Gods were similarly astounded.

"The long-destroyed Fey Abyss, Spirit Abyss, Wood Abyss, and Star Abyss have been reconstructed within the bizarre mist, and races are emerging in droves within each of them!"

"An act of creation!"

"Genesis!"

"Only miraculous existences like the supreme will could give rise to worlds and life in this way."

For reasons unclear to them, they, like Pang Ling, could sense the miracles unfolding within the bizarre mist and witness the formation of the four new abysses.

Beneath the barrier of the Abyss, Zhu Ji's eyes flickered with an odd light.

"Strange," he muttered.

"What is it?" Lin Baixiang tugged at his long, slender brows and cast him an anxious glance. "Did you discover something?"

Zhu Ji, ascended through the Dao of Power, had naturally noticed the downpour of energies from the starry skies dissipating through the boundary wall of the Abyss.

Frowning, he said gravely, "The energies that the Abyss has devoured from the starry skies above are being channeled through the boundary wall and delivered to other worlds."

The unique nature of his Dao of Power allowed him to track the flow of energy. However, he remained unaware of the four new abysses that had come into being elsewhere in the bizarre mist.

"That will of the bizarre mist is likely using the energies it devoured from the starry skies to aid Pang Jian in battle," Lin Baixiang murmured thoughtfully. "Those energies may have been converted into pure spiritual qi after passing through our Abyss and channeled into Pang Jian."

"Could our world be nothing more than a vast furnace?" Li Zhaotian asked in stunned disbelief.

"Only the Nether Abyss and our Abyss have spiritual qi. The energies in all the other abysses are no different from those in the starry skies," Lin Baixiang explained. "If I'm right, then only the Nether Abyss and our Abyss are gathering the chaotic energies from the starry skies, refining them, and returning them as spiritual qi to Pang Jian!"

Zhu Ji shook his head. "It's not just the Nether Abyss and the Abyss. The other six abysses are also devouring the energies from the starry skies. I can—I can feel it!"

Raising his head, he beheld that sea of argent light high above through the open dome of the barrier.

Pang Jian was there!

Of all the people in the various abysses, he alone could still see Pang Jian across the vast distance. Moreover, he did not seem to be observing Pang Jian with his eyes.

His Heavenly Dao and the essence of his power appeared linked to Pang Jian, enabling him to gaze upon Pang Jian without regard for the distance.

"Pang Jian!" Zhu Ji shouted in astonishment.

Brilliant stars, two blazing suns, and three luminous moons flew out from the chest of Pang Jian's towering Immortal Divine Soul! A fragment of Pang Jian's soul was perched on each star, sun, and moon like Gods enthroned upon divine platforms!

Five continents of different hues drifted forth from Pang Jian's chest and into the sea of argent light. Each continent bore individual imprints of the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, embodying the totality of the corresponding Heavenly Daos.

Lightning vortexes and glaciers also flew out from Pang Jian's Immortal Divine Soul in succession, rising to stand within the sea of argent light.

Stars, suns, moons, thunderous maelstroms, glaciers, and the five continents embodying the five elements started refining and drawing upon the energies within that argent sea.

They expanded madly, swelling in size and scope. The fragments of Pang Jian's soul on each resembled a Sovereign or a high-ranking God in their respective domains.

Pang Jian had seemingly transplanted the wondrous miracles of his Immortal Divine Soul into the sea of argent light, using its power to magnify them.

Drawing upon the energies from the myriad starry regions in the starry skies, he had recreated everything in the Primordial Chaos Starry Region within the supreme will's argent Sea of Creation.

This was an astounding feat!

Even Sovereigns could destroy stars, suns, and moons. Creation, on the other hand, was a million times more difficult than destruction. Even a supreme existence on the level of a God King could scarcely restore the material world, let alone create a brand-new world with nothing but energy and laws.

But Pang Jian had done it.

Moreover, he had brought forth the wondrous spectacle of suns, moons, and stars in a domain governed by the supreme will of the starry skies—the surging energies from the sea of argent light serving as further fuel for his creation.

"It's the supreme will of the bizarre mist," Pang Lin realized. "Somehow, creating those four new abysses provided my brother the path forward. But only those two wills have the power of creation, so why can my brother do the same? He's clearly not the incarnation of the supreme will of the bizarre mist. Impossible, utterly impossible!"

At that moment, Pang Jian's recreation of the Primordial Chaos Starry Region actively consumed the argent light around it.
