Necropolis Immortal

The sacrificial rite was over. Ninety-nine percent of the beings within the burial mound had been sacrificed to that existence. The rite’s ultimate goal was to trade their lives for power from the mysterious existence.

Yun Yi first traded her life for the power of sacrifice, then offered up everything within the burial mound. This magnificent rite with an empyrean supreme as the main sacrificial good naturally resulted in greater power being exchanged.

The entire human race had been sacrificed, alongside countless supremes and peak grand supremes. Lu Yun even saw Jiang Chen’s Bag of Corpse Refinement—it’d been sacrificed too. So that bag was also alive!

Jiang Chen, however, remained alive and well. He’d sent only a replica to the burial mound, one made from a peak grand supreme who’d turned into a zombie after death.

It didn’t matter whether he was alive or dead, for Lu Yun saw a chance of life. The paths of fallen great daos within the burial mound—the dao bones—stirred with life. They were about to resurrect and become true great daos. The Jade Record of Creation that Daoist Ingress had shattered was once more crushed by the power of sacrifice and turned into pure energy of creation, melding into the world.

Vitality from the Jade Record of Creation and revival of the primordial world of immortals was what Yun Yi had wanted to accomplish. The world was buried in the ancient burial mound; Shu Yan, the heavenly emperor, and Yun Yi had bent their elbows to the task again and again in order to resurrect this world that’d sunk in the tides of history. They wanted it to become the center of existence again and glorify the chief worlds.

Shu Yan was the first, the vanguard. When he failed, the heavenly emperor sealed him at the entrance of the burial mound to become a hidden piece for the plan. The heavenly emperor then created the heavenly court and established a resplendent, unified dynasty in the chief worlds. This was also done to imitate the primordial world of immortals.

Sealing away the human race, hunting down Wei Lie, killing Pangu, the death of the heavenly emperor, and the fall of the heavenly court was all to facilitate the affairs of today.

Yun Yi inherited her father’s plan and completed the scheme, offering up her life in an even greater sacrifice to break the Jade Record of Creation. Countless supremes, peak grand supremes, and an empyrean supreme was finally sufficient to infuse the primordial world of immortals with life again.

The dao bones within the burial mound were the fallen great daos of that ancient world. They stirred with vitality and the primordial world flared with life force. It all came together as if it was the most natural thing to occur.

"Was it worth it?” murmured Daoist Ingress as he gazed upon the ancient world slowly rising into the air.

"The three generations of that family have a greater breadth of vision than us. If they think it’s worth it, then it’s worth it.” Lu Yun shook his head. “But the primordial world of immortals has only just begun to revitalize. There’s still a long ways to go for it to truly, fully come back to life.”

The five sets of the organs of the world had completely melded with the ancient world. He’d facilitated that by destroying his five puppets. Quite a few thoughts were running through his head at the moment.

When Fuxi first entered the world of immortals from the great wilderness, he met the demon of the immortal dao—the dog in the Imperial Seal. He was forced to split out his senses after encountering the demon and allow them to take their own form, becoming independent entities. The curse in the world of immortals had required his senses to resolve, and that entire process came to fruition today.

Wayfarer and his companions had come to the burial mound to devour the divine spirits of the organs. If those divine spirits didn’t die, then the organs wouldn’t be able to be incorporated into the primordial world of immortals.

The organs of the world were products of heaven and earth that simulated living beings. At the same time, they represented five different powers of the world. With the primordial world of immortals having just reawakened and not yet become a true world, the five sets of organs took up positions in the five corners of the world to support it.

"One of Yun Yi’s contingency plans is still active—the realm monster formed after the destruction of the primordial heavenly court,” Lu Yun suddenly raised. “That was done for this primordial world of immortals as well. …oh, and Chu Xingran! There’s certainly more to Chu Xingran than we know. That includes her primary body and the peak grand supreme from the darkness!”

He furiously calculated what he knew of the situation. Since Yun Yi was dead, he would have to figure out many things by himself.

He’d already decided that he would have the World of Immortals in the chief worlds take root in the primordial world of immortals. After all, this was the intersection of all planes of existence!

The chief worlds was a collection of worlds ruled by a plane’s orders. When all planes came together, they resulted in the primordial world of immortals. That made it the strongest realm in all of existence.

Once it fully came back to life, it would be indestructible. It was also the origin of immortal dao.

As for who’d once destroyed it… he didn’t have the capacity or right to wander down that path of thought. Perhaps it was the rhythm of reincarnation responsible for that feat. Life and death—none escaped that ultimate law.

Or perhaps it was the existence that the sacrifice had been made to, the one standing in nothingness and overlooking existence.

None of it mattered. If they came again and wanted to destroy everything, the World of Immortals would be hard pressed to escape ruin no matter where it was. Therefore, it was better to occupy the strongest world in existence and enhance their strength, so they would be better equipped to face future dangers from the unknown.

There was much to do if Lu Yun wanted to return the primordial world of immortals to its former heyday. For instance, destroy this ancient burial mound.

The world was still buried within it, so destroying it was the first order of the day. And the method to do so?

The Dragonquake Scripture.

It was an ultimate method originating from the primordial world of immortals and destroyed when it traveled out of the world. Therefore, Fuxi brought it to the Land of Reincarnation so it could be restored through the endless cycles of beginning and end. Please visit enl.

Lu Yun didn’t know if Fuxi and the others opposed Yun Yi or were on the side of helping her, because every action that’d seemed to obstruct or dismantle her plans had ultimately turned into something that advanced her goals. Everything they’d undertaken had eventually completed the plot they saw today.

No one revealed the truth during the process and no one made any explanations. They simply kept their heads down and proceeded about their business.

So many lives had been lost, including noble supremes and grand supremes, in pursuit of this final outcome. Was it worth it?

Daoist Ingress didn’t think so, and Lu Yun… Lu Yun didn’t know.

Perhaps Yun Yi’s original intentions were to revive the primordial world of immortals so it could support the planes of existence and guide living souls to the right path. She’d done it for the sake of all life, but those who’d died here—weren’t they part of the cosmos of life too?

"Why save me?” The wretched old man stood across the way, his expression downcast and forlorn. “I am the only one left alive out of this entire branch of humanity. You are just subjecting me to torment and suffering if you keep me alive.”

"There’s more than just you left of humanity, there are also hundreds of millions of humans in the World of Immortals.” Lu Yun smiled at the elder giant who’d assumed a regular human size. “The humans need a guardian god, one who dares threaten empyrean supremes and is willing to die for them.”

A little bit of spirit returned to the wretched old man’s face. He still couldn’t leave the burial mound, but he could stay here and modify the primordial world of immortals for humanity.

News of its revival was certain to get out. In addition to those from the chief worlds, supremes and grand supremes from other realms had also been sacrificed. The opening of the tomb had also been more than a chief world matter.

The owner of the tombstones and the numerous ghostly spirits present all came from other realms. They’d died here and become evil or ghostly spirits. Of course, they’d all been sacrificed earlier and everything having to do with them had become a page turn of history.

The wretched old man nodded emphatically.

"What do you plan to do now?” Daoist Ingress frowned at Lu Yun. “Destroy this ancient burial mound?”

"No,” the young man shook his head. “The layout of the burial mound can keep things under wraps for a little while longer. Once it’s broken, that’s when the other realms of existence will attack.

"The order of life!” Lu Yun looked at Jin Huo. She was holding Chu Xun’s hand. “Repair the order of life! That order is the key to the primordial world of immortals blooming again!”

"I can give up my two thirds of it,” Jin Huo hastily responded. “It’s not mine to begin with. The ancestral god of life has appeared, so she should be here and be the world’s ancestral god.” She made to extract her portion of the order.

"No!” Lu Yun shook his head. “The order of life is different from other orders. Anything that is alive possesses it! We were all caught in a fallacy before and thought that the order of life was split into three parts. It’s actually always been complete.

"If the three parts are gathered together, they will each become complete orders of life.” He made some quick calculations. “Arbiter can’t shoulder the complete order by herself. If she becomes the ancestral god of life, disaster will strike her!

"Therefore, all of you need to bear the load. There needs to be three ancestral gods of life.” He looked at Chu Xun when he finished. It looked like she should be one too.
