Chapter 831 : The Patriarch's Final Gift

"Senior..."

Eldrin Chen's countenance drastically changed, and he hurriedly tried to speak again.

Yet he discovered that Fallen God Patriarch had already acted. The patriarch personally took action, channeling an immense and profound surge of Primordial Solar Origin Energy [the pure, foundational energy of the sun] directly into Eldrin Chen's body.

At this moment, Eldrin Chen was grievously wounded and utterly powerless to resist.

The Primordial Solar Origin Energy from a Primordial Spirit Late Stage Great Power was incomparably vast and potent. Once it entered Eldrin Chen's body, it surged towards the Seed of Life [a latent spark of vitality and potential].

In that instant, the Seed of Life was like a seed buried in fertile soil, receiving the nourishing power of dawn's first light. It stirred from its slumber, awakening and giving birth to a burgeoning, vibrant vitality.

"*Hmmmm—*"

A low, resonant hum echoed, and a torrential wave of life force erupted, beginning to transform the Magic Power [the refined energy cultivated by practitioners] within Eldrin Chen's body.

As this Life Force Magic Power [magical power imbued with the essence of life] grew and strengthened, the grievous injuries within Eldrin Chen's body began to gradually mend.

As the Seed of Life [a miraculous object containing the essence of life itself] gradually recovered, a faint smile touched the brows of the Fallen God Patriarch. Yet, his aura was now perilously weak, his divine soul teetering on the very brink of dissipation.

Stripped of his Primordial Spirit [the highest spiritual core of a cultivator] and physical form, sustained only by a single Life Soul [one of the three foundational souls, representing life force], and having exhausted his Primordial Solar Origin Energy [the purest, most fundamental energy of the sun], the Fallen God Patriarch could no longer hold on.

Heart-wrenching pain gripped Eldrin Chen, his eyes reddening as he spoke, "Such immense grace, Senior. How could I, this junior, ever hope to repay it?"

"Do not grieve."

Verdant Ruins Path Lord shook his head, his voice calm yet final. "My Primordial Solar Origin Energy is spent. I cannot endure. But before I depart, there is one matter I must impart to you."

"Please speak, Senior."

Eldrin Chen forced his waning spiritual power to steady the fading soul of the Verdant Ruins Path Lord, listening intently to his final words.

The Verdant Ruins Path Lord nodded. After a moment's hesitation, he began, "With your talent and insight, you would have uncovered the truth in time. To prevent any future rift in your heart, it is best I clarify this now."

"The matter between you and the Verdant Child... I once intervened..."

As the Verdant Ruins Path Lord recounted the tale, Eldrin Chen's expression shifted repeatedly, finally settling into one of profound astonishment.

It turned out that long ago, when Verdant Consort [the Verdant Consort] was in her deep slumber, Verdant Ruins Path Lord [the Path Lord of Verdant Ruins] had employed a special method to lay down a scheme, weaving a thread of fate between them.

The reason Verdant Consort [the Verdant Consort] and Eldrin Chen [Eldrin Chen] ultimately came together was primarily due to the Mortal Dust Dream Butterfly Art [the Mortal Dust Dream Butterfly Art], and because of the dream Reincarnation [cycle of rebirth] experienced by Summer Reign Xia [Summer Reign Xia].

Now, hearing from Verdant Ruins Path Lord [the Path Lord of Verdant Ruins] that all of it was likely false—merely an illusion conjured by the Vermilion Phoenix Art [Vermilion Phoenix Art], and that the Dreamwalking Reincarnation [Dreamwalking Reincarnation] might have been nothing more than a fragment of memory from the long-deceased Summer Reign Xia [Summer Reign Xia]—left him reeling with shock and a profound sense of disorientation.

"The causes of the past bear the fruits of today."

Verdant Ruins Path Lord [the Path Lord of Verdant Ruins] spoke softly, recounting this web of Karma [causality and consequence] before sighing, "I deceived you, but Verdant Child [the Verdant Child] is innocent."

"I shall bear the weight of this karmic fruit. Today, I repay you with the bond of our shared path. I only ask that you do not fail Verdant Child [the Verdant Child]."

At that moment, the Verdant Ruins Path Lord [the Path Lord of Verdant Ruins]'s soul essence had already begun to dissipate. Yet, even in his final moments, his gaze remained fixed intently on Eldrin Chen [Eldrin Chen], desperately awaiting his reply.

Seeing Verdant Ruins Path Lord [the Path Lord of Verdant Ruins], on the brink of death, still consumed with worry for Verdant Consort [the Verdant Consort]'s Future [future], a sharp pang of sorrow pierced Eldrin Chen [Eldrin Chen]'s heart. Choking back emotion, he spoke:

"Father-in-law, be at ease. Whether the events of the past were real or illusory no longer matters. The bond Verdant Child [the Verdant Child] and I have shared over a thousand years is real."

"For all the days to come, however long the immortal path may stretch before us, I vow I shall never forsake her!"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

Seeing his agreement, Verdant Ruins Path Lord smiled with contentment as his life reached its end, dissolving into motes of starlight that scattered into the void.

"..."

Witnessing Verdant Ruins Path Lord's final dissolution [the process of a cultivator's body and spirit returning to the cosmos upon death], Eldrin Chen felt a profound emptiness settle in his heart.

A beloved elder had passed away, had sat in meditation until death for his sake. This left him with a sense of bewildering loss.

From the start of his cultivation journey to this day, over two thousand fleeting years, Eldrin Chen had watched far too many old companions and kin enter their final meditation. Continue your cultivation journey at audio novel.com.

From Eternal Verdancy Chen, Eternal Spread Chen, Clear River Chen, and Verdant Void Chen, to Lior Chen and others—he had stood by, powerless, as one clan elder after another passed before his eyes.

Now, witnessing a beloved elder sacrifice himself, this sense of powerlessness was suffocating. An indescribable weight of pressure and anguish pressed down on him like a mountain, stealing his breath.

And he knew, with grim certainty, that this scene might one day play out again.

The Outer Realm Demon God beyond the Purple Seal Realm, the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm that had raged for tens of thousands of years—for these, the Purple Seal Realm had shed too many tears and spilled too much blood.

If the source of that calamity could not be pacified, this cycle would repeat endlessly until the Purple Seal Realm was reduced to a lifeless wasteland.

"Outer Realm Demon God!"

Eldrin Chen murmured, a glint of absolute certainty flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, sensing the continuously transforming Life Force Magic Power within his body, yet his expression remained as cold and unyielding as a glacier.

"Boom—"

The process of converting his magical power continued for an unknowable length of time, until one day the Life Force Magic Power within Eldrin Chen's body reached its absolute limit, attaining a state where further advancement was impossible.

And in that very instant, with a thunderous roar, the five supreme magical powers within him achieved a peculiar equilibrium, forming an extremely unique Five Elements Grand Cycle.

Immediately, the five supreme magical powers—'Primordial Solar Flame', 'Profound Darkness Water', 'Primordial One Gold', 'Myriad Things Earth', and 'Life Wood'—began to rotate violently, intertwining and spiraling around each other as they gradually fused into one.

This fusion process also lasted for an indeterminate period, ceasing only when the five magical powers within his body had been refined into a single stream of energy shimmering with five-colored radiance.

"Five Elements Primordial One Magical Power."

In that fleeting moment, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. As he felt the magical power [the cultivated energy used to cast spells and techniques] circulating within him, his eyes became as unfathomable as the deepest abyss.

Within Eldrin Chen's body at this moment, the five distinct streams of magical power had already merged into one, becoming this 'Five Elements Primordial One Magical Power' [a unified magical power embodying the perfected essence of the five fundamental elements].

This magical power possessed the domineering force of 'Primordial Solar Flame' [a divine ability of supreme solar fire], the ultimate chill of 'Profound Darkness Water' [a divine ability of profound, dark water], the condensed sharpness and keen edge of 'Primordial One Gold' [a mythical metal of unparalleled purity], the profound solidity of 'Myriad Things Earth' [a divine ability of the foundational earth element], and the vibrant vitality of 'Life Force Magic Power' [a divine ability of life-giving wood energy].

It simultaneously held these five supreme properties, yet they formed a wondrous equilibrium. Its nature was Primordial One [the state of being unified and undifferentiated, the origin of all things], making it vastly more potent than any single-element magical power.

Based on Eldrin Chen's current estimation, wielding such magical power meant that any Divine Ability [a supernatural technique or art derived from profound cultivation] or Daoist spell he unleashed would far surpass the power of the same techniques cast by an ordinary cultivator.

The same 'Primordial Solar Divine Ability' [a divine ability of primordial solar fire], when wielded by Eldrin Chen, would be more than fifty percent more powerful than if it were personally activated by a Primordial Spirit Early Stage [the first stage of the Primordial Spirit realm] Path Lord [a cultivator who has comprehended and walks their own unique Dao Path].

Furthermore, when channeling a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure attuned to solar energy], he could augment its power by another thirty percent, allowing him to dominate his peers with near-invincibility.

And that was not all. With the support of this Five Elements Primordial One Magical Power, Eldrin Chen would henceforth possess a formidable resistance against various kinds of Divine Ability attacks.

This magical power, being Primordial One, feared neither scorching flames nor invasive waters, was impervious to blades and Thunderclap [a sudden, explosive thunderous attack], unyielding to burial by earth or erosion by wind, and resistant to blood pollution and Demonic Fiendish Energy [corruptive energy associated with demons and fiends]. It could be said to have almost no weaknesses.

Because Eldrin Chen had cultivated such magical power, he could easily refine and neutralize various alien energies. Unless a powerhouse at the Immortal or Demon level struck him with their comprehended Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of a cultivator's Dao Path], the magical power of those in the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of cultivating one's primordial spirit] would find it fundamentally impossible to damage his cultivation foundation.
