NOVPUBXu Zimei stood petrified, her eyes unfocused, her gaze dull and lackluster.
She heard only a "boom" as an explosion erupted within her True Fate World.
It was as if the sounds of the Great Dao reverberated through the Endless Void into her ears.
A multitude of strange and peculiar noises arose around her, and her vision shifted from color to monochrome.
Eventually, everything dissolved into nothingness.
Chaos stood by her side, while Xu Zimei’s consciousness had already entered her own True Fate World.
The zhi shape of her True Fate World was beginning to take form, with its foundation more or less stabilized halfway through.
At this moment, above the True Fate World, Taiyang Zuzhao intertwined with Taiying Youying, their combined power from the Chaos Pearl melding together ceaselessly.
The world at this instant was unpredictable, with one half of the sky black and the other half white.
As though cleaved asunder, the entire world thundered with a "rumbling" explosion.
No matter where you were, that sound could be heard.
Mad Winds raged as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was being overrun.
Everything seemed poised to be devoured.
Endless Spiritual Energy chaotically converged.
And the Monster Beasts of the Myriad Demons Tribe trembled with fear in their lairs, daring not to so much as peek their heads out.
This spectacle lasted for quite some time, perhaps for about half a month, during which Xu Zimei couldn’t do anything.
Both her consciousness and body were rigid and immobilized.
Then one day, after half a month, the Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying in the skies above, after entwining for a long time, finally merged together.
At the moment of their union, the firmament seemed to give birth to a Divine Beast of Cang Tian with hands grasping the sun and the moon, and carrying the stars upon its back.
These two colossal beasts bellowed at the heavens, ultimately transforming into four streaks of light.
They were the legendary four Holy Beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Yin and Yang produced two principles, the interaction of two principles engendered the four symbols, the fusion of four symbols gave rise to the Bagua, and the convergence of the Bagua spawned all beings.
Thus, the two principles birthed the likes of heaven and earth, while the four symbols established the substance of heaven and earth.
In the moment that these four Holy Beasts appeared, they all roared heavenward, with dragon songs and tiger cries, phoenix calls, and turtle groans.
The four large beastly shadows continuously transformed.
Every known and unknown Monster Beast evolved within them.
All known and unknown species of Yuan Central Continent, be they the Myriad Clans or those long extinct through the ravages of time, also evolved within them.
They evolved all beings.
Of course, this included humans as well.
After this situation persisted for some time, a "boom" was heard.
The phantom figures of the four Holy Beasts exploded into countless streaks of light, scattering across the various regions of the Divine Continent.
Each streak of light carried with it a dense breath of life.
It was as if each streak of light was an egg, nurturing and forming something within.
As these streaks of light fell upon the Divine Continent simultaneously, a multitude of beastly roars sounded in an instant.
Once tranquil, the Divine Continent welcomed its most prosperous and bustling era.
Countless animals appeared out of nowhere, emerging on the Divine Continent.
Among them were tigers, lions, rabbits, mice, monkeys...
Basically, a myriad of creatures formed in the sea, on the land, and in the sky.
In a moment, the once quiet world erupted into cacophony.
The newly birthed creatures, facing this world for the first time, were filled with fear and curiosity about everything.
And in a certain area of the Divine Continent, the first human finally appeared.
Then came the second and third, more and more new human beings like infants came into this world.
…
All the beings were frantically looking around this world, still adapting to everything.
It was at this moment that Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiyin Youying took their places, and the True Fate World was truly, thoroughly perfected.
In the Divine Continent, this was also a world indistinguishable from the Yuan Central Continent.
The biggest beneficiary of the perfection of the world system was naturally Xu Zimei.
The strength within his body was increasing by double, by hundreds of times.
The eighth Vein Gate, "Enlighten," was also restless.
The Spiritual Energy within his body was like a violent storm, a surging sea, flowing in the "roaring" river.
The river of Spiritual Energy, carrying the Creation Force, flowed through his body for several Grand Circulations.
Xu Zimei could feel his power growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the eighth Vein Gate was beginning to wobble under this impact.
Xu Zimei was now at the peak of the Saint Vein Realm, and the next step was naturally to break through to the Divine Vein Realm.
The so-called Divine Vein strong ones had reached the pinnacle admired by the mortals.
After the Divine Vein, one could transform into an immortal, joining the celestial path and possessing supreme longevity.
Of course, this step had nothing to do with Xu Zimei, although his True Fate World was now perfected.
But it was still operating slowly, and he had to compete for Destiny, using the Destiny of the Yuan Central Continent to accelerate the growth of his own True Fate World.
The most important step in impacting the Divine Vein Realm is to ignite the Divine Fire.
Divine Fire can also be understood as divinity.
When in the Saint Vein Realm, one condenses the Divine Soul, and the Divine Fire can endow the Divine Soul with divinity.
What is divinity? Put simply, it can be understood as spirit.
To endow a person with spirit, thought, the ability to think, and discern everything.
Although the Divine Soul must still be controlled by oneself in the end, it can also act as an independent entity, possessing its own thoughts.
When the humanity of the body and the divinity of the Divine Soul both reach a perfect converging point, one can enter the celestial path and ultimately transcend the mortal realm.
The strength of those in the Divine Vein Realm is not just in terms of power, but even their life becomes extremely tenacious.
To kill a Divine Vein Realm Martial Artist, you must erase his divinity and shatter his Divine Soul.
Otherwise, even if his body is torn to pieces and only one drop of blood remains, he can be reborn.
This is the terrifying power of the Divine Vein Realm. As for injuries sustained, as long as there is enough Spiritual Energy, they can heal rapidly.
…
After the fusion of Taiyin Youying and Taiyang Zuzhao, Xu Zimei found that he could move.
He slowly sat cross-legged, his body’s Spiritual Energy and Creation Force nearly overflowing.
He couldn’t hold it back.
Xu Zimei hurriedly guided this surge of Spiritual Energy toward the eighth Vein Gate, Enlighten.
There was only a "boom," a muffled sound from within his body.
Xu Zimei’s body shook violently, the impact on the Vein Gate, the breaking through of his own limits, was an agony that reached deep into his soul.
He clenched his teeth tightly, using Spiritual Energy to strike against the eighth Vein Gate again and again.
Before long, a "crack, crack" sound was heard.
Fissures appeared on the surface of the eighth Vein Gate, Enlighten, and with increasingly fierce impacts,
these cracks grew more visible, eventually culminating in a very loud explosion.
The Spiritual Energy, like the waters of the Yellow River descending from the heavens, rushing into the sea never to return, "thunderously" poured in.
