Chapter 1019: Yang World Rebirth

A stir arose on Stone Mountain as a celestial embryo hatched, alarming the entire world.

On this day, the East Victory Divine Continent was greatly shaken. A nine-aperture stone human was born, its aura surging to the heavens. With fiery eyes and golden pupils, it shot beams of light into the highest heavens, truly causing a tremendous sensation.

This being possesses the potential of a Heavenly Venerate, perhaps even capable of becoming a Great Being. In the future, it will be able to look down upon the primordial lands, destined to protect a region and ensure its lineage's glorious light shines across all directions.

"Our East Victory Divine Continent has given birth to a celestial embryo, a sign of great prosperity," an individual exclaimed. "Fragments of the Great Dao will rain down like a universal sweet dew. Subsequently, exotic fruits will proliferate in the mountains and rivers, and pollen will fill the air, perhaps ushering in another golden age of evolution."

Someone praised, their voice like a great bell, shaking the firmament. This individual was a disciple of a Great Being from the East Victory Divine Continent, an ancient existence with unfathomable strength.

"Heh, Yu Province is in trouble," remarked a Heavenly Venerate. "It neighbors East Victory Divine Continent, and as one rises and the other falls, this is not a good sign."

A Heavenly Venerate awakened, their profound eyes gazing towards Yu Province as they made this judgment.

For a moment, many streaks of lightning appeared in the void between heaven and earth, intertwining between Yu Province and East Victory Divine Continent. These were the gazes of unfathomable beings who had awakened and were now observing the two provinces.

Evolutionaries of this caliber possess boundless and terrifying power, mastering formidable breathing techniques. Once they emerge and walk upon the earth, all races are required to worship them.

Some Heavenly Venerates have been dormant for countless ages, long forgotten by the world, waiting for their decaying bodies to transform. They dare not act rashly, unwilling to consume their vitality.

However, today some terrifying beings awakened, paying attention to the matters unfolding between the two provinces.

"Truly extraordinary," someone remarked. "Born with fiery eyes and golden pupils, this is unparalleled talent. Even this old man cherishes such potential, wishing I could take it as my final disciple."

At this level, it is very difficult to find someone who can truly inherit one's mantle.

Some beings, after growing old, strongly hope for a favored disciple to rise and become a powerhouse of the same level, so they can peacefully spend their later years.

Otherwise, even if you are high above, once you are in your twilight years, you might be targeted and become prey.

It is the survival of the fittest; even for top evolutionaries, the environment they face is exceptionally harsh.

Even Heavenly Venerates must guard against old age. Though they may be Great Beings, once there are signs of declining vitality, they must have a contingency plan, otherwise, it will be very dangerous.

If one is always strong enough, who would still contend for disciples? One would simply rely on oneself!

"That old fellow in Yu Province must be silent now," some discussed. "He guarded that place for many years, too soft-hearted. What's the result? The neighboring East Victory Divine Continent is rising, and he won't have an easy time."

"Hmm, no need to overthink it, that one in Yu Province is in trouble," another added. "That one in East Victory Divine Continent has always been ruthless. In one or two decades, once the balance between the two provinces is broken, he will surely make a move."

Such discussions were taking place among prominent figures.

In the barren Yu Province, an old man had always guarded it. He once privately mentioned a premonition that the province would surely produce an evolutionary who would shock the past and present and look down upon the world.

He also believed his own decline might turn around due to the emergence of this rising evolutionary.

At that time, several powerful individuals resided in the East Victory Divine Continent. Some had ridiculed the old man from Yu Province, saying he didn't know when to advance or retreat, didn't understand the secrets of heaven, and that blindly protecting Yu Province was unreasonable.

Now, with the appearance of the celestial embryo in East Victory Divine Continent, this marks the beginning of a shift in fortune for them, while Yu Province will become even more barren.

"Yu Shang, you are decaying too quickly, unable to see the situation clearly," a strong individual from East Victory Divine Continent indeed spoke, ridiculing the old man Yu Shang from Yu Province. "You can't even grasp what will happen after you're gone; you're slow to realize, somewhat dull."

"Yu Shang, I advise you to offer Yu Province as a sacrifice soon, place it on the altar," another voice added. "We might then show you some mercy."

These simple words revealed a cruel and terrifying truth that, if spread to the primordial lands of the Yang Realm, would trigger tsunami-like waves.

"The celestial embryo has not yet matured; it may not necessarily rise, nor is it certain it can defeat all opponents in the neighboring provinces," the old man from Yu Province retorted. "I, Yu Shang, have never bowed my head in my life."

"Heh, you still want to protect Yu Province?" came the mocking reply. "Fine then, continue. In one or two decades, we shall see."

"Haha, you can't possibly still think Yu Province will truly produce an evolutionary who shocks the past and present, can you?" another voice scoffed. "Old Yu Shang, you truly have weakened to a certain extent; your perception of the Great Dao and the future is growing weaker."

In Yu Province, the old man Yu Shang was silent. At this critical juncture, he had nothing to say, feeling powerless and full of weariness.

"Just wait and see," someone laughed mockingly, "my fellow evolutionaries and I will quietly await Yu Province's recovery and the emergence of a formidable individual, haha..."

In fact, no one was optimistic about Yu Province.

In the nearby territories, all evolutionaries paying attention to this event sighed, believing that old man Yu Shang's flame of life was flickering and would likely extinguish in one or two decades, proving his early predictions wrong!

In East Victory Divine Continent, a stone egg had hatched and a celestial embryo was born; this was a sign of great prosperity, potentially adding another Great Being. Yu Province was already barren; what could it possibly compare with?

No one believed Yu Province would produce a powerful, formidable individual, as it did not possess the necessary "evolutionary soil."

"Don't jump to conclusions easily," someone said quietly. "I heard that old man Yu Shang's master might still be alive, not completely dead; at a critical moment, they might be able to help him."

"Forget it," someone else interjected, "there's a hidden story here, involving bloody, chaotic battles of ancient Great Beings; it's better to mention it less, and don't hold out any hope."

Then, heaven and earth became silent. No one talked about it anymore, many were wary.

At this moment, Chu Feng was slightly muddled. In a hazy state, he tried to open his golden eyes, but his soul light flickered, very dim, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

To his horror, he discovered he had no physical body. Where was this?

The surroundings were silent, completely dark.

He felt like he was confined in a cage, as if he had slept for several epochs.

Soon, he understood his own state: only a mass of blood essence remained, still somewhat crystalline. This was the last essence of his physical body; everything else had been annihilated.

"Is this inside the stone box?" he wondered aloud.

He gradually concentrated his soul light, condensing it into that mass of radiant blood. His own state improved considerably, and he found he was indeed inside the stone box.

Perhaps it could now be called a stone jar, three inches high, ancient and slightly resembling a cauldron.

He did not act rashly, recalling the experience of reincarnation. Had his transmigration with a physical body failed? Why wasn't he in a mother's womb, but still inside the ultimate treasure?

Thinking of all the things on the path of reincarnation and in the ultimate land, they were truly terrifying and mysterious. This reincarnation process was too horrifying; those scenes, those fragments, were truly incredible.

Without a doubt, if those things were perceived or experienced firsthand by a Great Being, they would certainly deduce part of a terrifying truth.

Chu Feng sighed lightly, wondering where the problem occurred. Was it because he carried his physical body, preventing smooth reincarnation?

He remembered one thing: after breaking out from the end of reincarnation, at the very last moment, he took another blow that shattered him inside the stone coffin.

At that time, things like the Thirty-Three Heavens Grass and Six Paths Reincarnation Blood, which came from the ultimate region, were almost completely depleted. Very little remained, making it difficult for him to recover quickly.

Moreover, at that moment, the lid of the stone jar loosened, and a wisp of the remaining creation material consequently spilled out, almost preventing him from surviving.

"Hmm," he mused, "at that moment, I sensed through a crack in the stone jar that it was as if I was about to reincarnate. Dimly, through the semi-transparent jar, I saw a nine-aperture stone embryo incubating in a strange stone. Was that where I was supposed to reincarnate?"

Chu Feng was suspicious. As his soul light formed a figure, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Because at the last moment, an ultimate energy field had repelled him. In fact, the stone jar itself was struck by runes and was flung away again.

"The creation material in the stone jar leaked out and was obtained by that stone embryo?" Chu Feng muttered to himself. "You almost caused my death; you owe me a great karma."

He even suspected that if not for a mysterious energy field blocking him, he might have reincarnated into that stone egg.

Chu Feng shivered. He really didn't want to become a nine-aperture stone human, even if it seemed to possess extraordinary, terrifying, and remarkable talent.

"Where did I land?" he wondered.

He felt that he must be far from the mountain where the nine-aperture stone human was conceived. At that time, the stone jar was flung away, directly vanishing into the void, traversing vast territories.

In fact, the beings guarding the celestial embryo at that time had sensed it, seeing a blurry light carrying chaotic energy dive down. Then a great collision occurred, and finally a streak of light escaped.

That streak of light was the stone jar!

"Did I just smuggle myself into the Yang Realm?" Chu Feng smiled. Although his soul light was in intense pain, he couldn't help but feel happy. Who would have thought that reincarnation from the ultimate land of transmigration could happen like this!

He did not enter a mother's womb, but appeared directly in his physical form.

He did not open the stone jar. He needed to quickly repair his physical body, wanting to reappear.

However, as his soul light shone and in the process of regeneration from a drop of blood, Chu Feng couldn't help but exclaim in shock. He, who was usually as steady as a mountain and unchanging in expression, was now losing his composure.

"Who am I? What's going on?!" he cried.

He simply couldn't believe it. He was now looking at his regenerating hands, shaking his head hard, feeling utterly disoriented within the stone jar.
