Chapter 2110 : Violet Seal, Violet Yin
Vast and boundless chaos, where time itself loses all meaning.
No 1 knew how much time had passed before the other half of Eldrin’s primordial spirit slowly stirred to consciousness.
Upon awakening, He found Himself in a nascent realm—a primordial great 1000 worlds freshly formed, whose rank paled in comparison to the Hongmeng Secret Realm.
However, compared to Wuming, this half of the primordial spirit was relatively well-preserved, yet for some unknown reason, it had lost all its memories, seemingly sealed away by some indescribable power of time and space.
"Who am I, and where am I?"
A faint ripple stirred within the murmuring consciousness of the half-ethereal soul.
He felt somewhat dazed, gradually taking human form. There were no parents to nurture him, nor anyone to tell him of his origins.
In the end, the half primordial spirit, drawing inspiration from the Violet Seal that had nurtured it, took the homophonic meaning of the 2 characters ‘Violet Seal’ and named itself ‘Violet’.
"From this day forth, I shall be known as Zi."
Zi spoke slowly, her voice tinged with the dazed confusion of 1 newly awakened, yet she couldn't shake the peculiar sensation that something about her felt... different.
Though his memories were lost, the fact that his primordial spirit remained largely intact suggested that Zi Jue's origins were anything but ordinary.
He seemed to have once been a supreme powerhouse, but for some reason, his primordial spirit had fractured, leaving him bereft of the other half.
"My soul is not yet whole."
"Seemingly cleaved by some supreme force, it has thus been lost within the chaos."
"Moreover, it seems I do not belong to this time and space. I have merely lost my way here due to some unknown force, which is why I struggle to recall the memories of my past."
Zi spoke slowly, her heart filled with countless unresolved doubts.
Unable to comprehend the cause and effect, he immediately rose to survey this realm, only to realize he stood within a world at the dawn of its creation.
"When heaven and earth first parted, all living things were conceived."
Zi slowly murmured, but suddenly her expression shifted slightly.
But lo, the nascent heavens and earth shattered as an ancient Chaos Cauldron emerged from beyond the primordial void, materializing soundlessly by his side.
Chaos Ancient Cauldron.
This gave Zi Wei a moment’s pause, a flicker of surprise crossing her expression.
He slowly reached out to touch the ancient cauldron, faintly sensing a trace of familiarity that seemed to resonate with the unseen threads of destiny, yet it felt distinctly different from his own essence.
"Master."
The Chaos Cauldron slowly began to speak, a wisp of profound intent emerging from the void.
Zi Que’s heart grew even more perplexed. He had never seen this ancient cauldron before—what connection could it possibly have with him?
Alas, the Chaos Ancient Cauldron remained in a state of bewilderment. It seemed to have endured the erosion of infinite temporal forces, perpetually lost across endless dimensions, trapped in an unceasing cycle of repetition.
Every moment, the Primordial Chaos Ancient Cauldron seemed to be reborn anew, its memories of bygone eras fading into oblivion.
"A fragmented, indescribable force of time has enveloped us both in its cycle."
Zi spoke with a trace of confusion in her voice, her heart growing even more perplexed.
What manner of existence could have shattered my primordial spirit so completely? And what kind of being has trapped me within this endless cycle of fate?
Faintly, Zi sensed 2 indescribable forces locked in a struggle.
An indescribable force, originating from beyond the River of Time, sought to utterly annihilate all ancient histories within this spacetime—erasing, resetting, and dissolving them into nonexistent void, as if they had never been.
Yet another force rose in opposition, severing this boundless river of time and space in their clash, forming an isolated isle cycling beyond the endless void.
And He Zi existed within this ancient history, ready at any moment to vanish into non-existent nothingness as this river of time returned to 0.
This is the beginning, and this is the end.
"An indescribable force keeps causing me to lose myself in the River of Time, unable to find my lost half of the primordial spirit."
"Only by retrieving the other half of my primordial soul can I reclaim my memories, break free from the endlessly fractured river of time, and return to the ancient history that is rightfully mine."
Zi spoke softly, her gaze eventually settling on the Chaos Cauldron as she inquired with a hint of puzzlement, "Little Cauldron, do you share some connection with the other half of my primordial spirit?"
"Hmm—"
The ancient cauldron trembled faintly, yet remained utterly oblivious, unable to reveal to Eldrin the entirety of its history.
Yet the artifact spirit of the Abyssal Return Seal had also vanished. It seemed He too did not belong to this ancient history, unable to offer him any reply.
"Alas—"
Ziwei let out a faint sigh and, with the doubts lingering in her heart, began to wander through this ancient expanse of heaven and earth.
In this era when heaven and earth were newly formed, the world was veiled in profound antiquity.
Fierce Evils Rampant, Divine Spirits Reign Supreme.
Zi embarked on the path of cultivation. Perhaps because this half primordial soul appeared relatively intact, it faintly retained some instinctive comprehension of cultivation.
He began his journey of cultivation from nothing, forging a body entirely his own, only to discover a divine form dwelling within his flesh.
Among them was a sundial, enveloped in the power of the sun, moon, and stars, seemingly capable of altering the flow of time.
Zi immediately activated the power of this 'Chronos Sundial', accelerating the flow of time around herself by a full hundredfold.
Thus, after merely a few years in the outside world, Zi had already cultivated to the Ascension Realm.
At this moment, Zi vaguely understood his unique privilege. His primordial spirit seemed to have reached an indescribable realm, while his physical body appeared to bear some sort of spacetime imprint.
To call it cultivation would be more accurately described as restoring 1's cultivation base, with progress advancing by leaps and bounds almost daily.
After stepping into the Ascension Realm, Zi discovered his cultivation resources were insufficient, and this realm could no longer sustain his further advancement.
Thus, he took action, vanquishing the primeval savage beasts of this realm, and then forged a path of cultivation for all living beings.
Thereupon, he ascended to the Celestial Realm and embarked upon the next stage of his cultivation journey.
With the power of the ‘Sundial’ amplifying temporal flow a hundredfold, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds—the sole drawback being the staggering consumption of resources required for his practice.
Fortunately, the Chaos Cauldron was profoundly mystical, capable of transforming the waters of the Chaos Sea into various cultivation resources. The speed of his cultivation advancement—or rather, his recovery—was nothing short of astonishing.
In barely a 100 1000 years, he had already broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Having broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, Zi drifted through the primordial chaos, yet the confusion in his heart only grew deeper.
He wandered in a daze through the endless Chaos Sea, yet always felt he did not belong to this time and space, out of place with everything around him.
Until 1 day, he encountered a woman of unparalleled grace and beauty in the Chaotic Abyssal Sea.
"My name is Qu Liushang."
The woman felt an instant connection with him, a glimmer of a smile sparkling in her bright eyes as she shared her name.
Zi Zong felt an inexplicable familiarity with this woman, as if they were destined to meet yet fate had delayed their encounter. A profound sense of timeless, star-crossed longing surged within him—like scattered threads of time weaving a tapestry of eternal yearning.
"You were born before I came to be, but by the time I arrived, you were already gone."
"Across the vast expanse of time, I have finally been granted this meeting with you."
Zi suddenly spoke, uttering words that even she herself found difficult to comprehend.
The woman was taken aback, unable to suppress her astonishment as she asked, "You know me?"
Zi only then realized that the words just spoken seemed to have come from his own lips, yet felt strangely detached from this time and space—an indescribable sense of temporal dissonance.
He shook his head, dismissing the thought. "It just feels familiar."
"Qiu Liushang, winding streams and floating cups—your name is truly melodious."
"Is that so? I feel the same way."
Qu Liushang smiled, his bright eyes shimmering with an ethereal radiance.
Zi did not speak further, merely journeying alongside him through the primordial chaos.
The 2 became instant soulmates. Though fate did not weave them into cultivation partners, they remained kindred spirits who sheltered each other like stranded fish sharing what meager moisture remained.
With the aid of Qu Liushang and the Immortal Shell Clan, Zi obtained vast cultivation resources, propelling her cultivation by leaps and bounds. Before long, she broke through to the Great Perfection Stage.
踏足大罗之后,紫以混沌鼎作为底蕴,为曲流觞补足根基修成九彩仙贝之姿。
Moreover, seizing this opportunity, Zi laid down the Grand Chaos Formation to rebuild the foundations for his old friends and companions, ultimately forging the potential of 3,000 innate deities.
It was precisely for this reason that Zi became the target of relentless pursuit by her enemies.
Fortunately, the power of the Sundial (Magic Treasure) was extraordinary—not only could it accelerate the flow of time, but it could also traverse through the primordial chaos to escape.
After fleeing into the Chaos, Zi found herself lost in an unnamed void.
This appeared to be the accumulated foundation left behind by a supreme powerhouse, containing no shortage of Primordial Genesis Qi and even Chaos Marvels. Among them was even the Chaos Spiritual Treasure—the Lunar Divine Fruit, along with countless other rarities.
Such an abundance of rare treasures could truly be described as astonishingly profound, enough to drive even a Demi-Saint to madness.
"Heaven's gifts unclaimed become Heaven's wrath."
He emptied out the entire batch of resources and said with deep satisfaction, "Today, I have incurred a karmic debt from you. If I can 1 day recover my other half of the primordial spirit and comprehend my true self, I shall repay today's grace a hundredfold."
Zi had no idea who this treasure belonged to, but after obtaining these artifacts, his cultivation speed could finally reach its absolute peak.
No, he wasn't cultivating—he seemed to be restoring his cultivation base.
A power projected from the River of Time allowed him to swiftly cultivate 9 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) foundations, and even grasp the power of the Great Dao.
In merely a few million years, his cultivation had already stepped into the quasi-sage realm.
"My path of cultivation seems to have reached its limit."
Zi spoke slowly, her words trailing off as she once again sank into a daze.
He continuously contemplated his own Dao and methods, yet found that his power seemed to have reached its limit, making further progress nearly impossible.
It seemed the power that mirrored him had reached its limit.
"The true me has never set foot into the realm of the Heavenly Emperor?"
Zi Xin’s heart was filled with doubt, and then she sank into a state of bewilderment.
He suddenly had a feeling that his existence in this space-time could not exceed 8,000,000 years, or it would cause unforeseeable consequences.
Therefore, before that time comes, he must find the other half of his primordial spirit. Only by merging the 2 can he restore his true self and return to the timeline that rightfully belongs to him.
Otherwise, this entire history would dissolve into nothingness. Under that force seeking to reset the River of Time to 0, all existence would be utterly erased.
Whether this ancient history or this boundless expanse of reality, all shall dissolve into naught but forgotten annals.
Vast and boundless chaos, across endless time and space.
"All reality and illusion are but a single thought."
"Had it not been for that power clashing with it, this chaotic true ancient history would have ceased to exist."
Zi murmured softly, yet she could not sense her other half of the divine soul.
He found it utterly baffling, for given his current cultivation level, as long as another half of his primordial spirit still existed within the chaos, it should have been impossible for him not to sense it.
"Unless my other half of the primordial spirit has been completely extinguished from existence."
"Or perhaps, he does not exist within this ancient history."
Zi murmured softly, then lifted her gaze upward, peering toward the origin of the endless expanse of time and space.
"This is the end, and also the beginning."
"Perhaps only by journeying upstream through the River of Time could I find my missing soul fragment."
Violet Heart’s thoughts flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, he banished the Violet Immortal Realm into the Celestial Abyss.
Then, with all his might, he unleashed his power, banishing the Purple Realm into an endless dimensional void. Yet, he sought out a piece of the Profound Brilliance Star Abyss to conceal the Purple Realm within it.
Before parting, he instructed the nascent deity to safeguard the safety of the Violet Realm at all costs.
He then made his move, employing his most formidable techniques to erase all traces.
"Boom!"
After completing all this, Zi erupted with full power, leveraging the 'Sundial' to pierce through the vast River of Time and ascend against its current across endless stretches of the temporal flow.
"Hmm—"
What Zi didn't know was that the very moment he departed, the 2 forces wrestling beyond the boundless spacetime suddenly erupted.
Then a drop of demonic blood came flying, landing beyond the vast violet realm, corrupting the nascent deity deep within the Star Abyss and twisting it into a fallen demon god.
Then, another wave of power descended, landing upon an old tomb keeper.
Zi was unaware of all this. Defying the torrents of the River of Time, he surged upstream until finally, at the distant edge of the vast void, he sensed a familiar aura.
"That is my other half of the primordial soul."
"So that's how it is. He had already perished countless kalpas ago."
A faint smile suddenly graced Zi's lips, revealing an indescribable look of profound relief.
Had he not ascended against the current of the River of Time, his other half of the primordial spirit would have been utterly annihilated within this temporal realm.
Only a single Chaos Cauldron remained, which had found him after waiting through tens of thousands of kalpas' worth of tribulations.
But now...
"I've found you."
Zi slowly opened her eyes, smiling as she transcended time and space to stand before her other half, meeting the gaze of that split soul.
In an instant, Wuming (Person Name) smiled faintly and slowly began to speak, "At last, I have waited for you as well."
"Hmm—"
In an instant, their primordial spirits merged as 1. Countless scattered fragments of origin essence returned from beyond the River of Time, converging into his body like moths drawn to flame.
Eldrin slowly opened his eyes, gazing first at his 9 disciples beside him, then toward the destructive blade cutting through the endless chaos from the depths.
"So that's how it is."
Eldrin’s thoughts drifted like ripples upon water, and in that moment, he channeled the power of the 9 great celestial saints to activate the Chaos Cauldron, holding firm against the Blade of Annihilation.
In the blink of an eye, the Chaos Cauldron was forcibly repelled, sent flying backward. Yet Eldrin seized the momentum to break free from this isolated isle of chaos, emerging into another moment of tangible reality.
He lifted his head and saw, beyond the endless river of time and space, a snow-robed figure clashing with an indescribably powerful foe, unleashing a force beyond all comprehension.
"A future arch-nemesis seeks to trap me in a timeline not my own, then reduce this segment of history to nothingness—even intending to reset all chaotic realms to absolute 0."
Eldrin spoke slowly, then quickly withdrew his thoughts.
He looked back at that long, isolated isle of time and space, only to find it slowly mending itself, returning to the original river of time.
