383: Reversing Life (Part 1)

The heroes have taken their leave, and the Chaos has settled.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were still reeling from that tragic battle of Supremes. Wang Yun's invincible figure, suppressing over a dozen Forbidden Zone Supreme Being single-handedly, remained etched in the depths of every observer's Divine Soul.

However, as the days passed, people discovered with horror that the Supreme Body, who should have reigned over the world and received the worship of all living beings, had completely vanished in aura.

He did not return to the Yuan Land, nor did he appear in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; it was as if he had evaporated into thin air.

Panic began to spread.

Until one figure, carrying endless sorrow and a heavy mission, emerged from the edge of the Boundary Sea and stumbled back to the Yuan Land.

It was Chen Yang.

He did not announce his return to anyone, but silently returned to the Yu Family.

But his appearance, along with his unconcealable grief, indirectly ignited the rumors that had already been surging in the shadows.

The Supreme Body had gone deep into the Boundary Sea in pursuit of some ethereal Opportunity and then disappeared, his life or death unknown.

The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths erupted in a massive uproar and shock.

Soon, two completely different rumors swept through every corner.

The optimists firmly believed that Wang Yun's strength was already Heaven-Defying, comparable to a Great Emperor of this age. Though the Boundary Sea was perilous, it could not trap him.

He must have successfully found the legendary gateway, achieved Ascension to the Immortal Realm, and gone to a higher world.

The pessimists, however, shook their heads and sighed.

The horrors of the Boundary Sea had been passed down in various ancient texts since time immemorial; it was a Forbidden Land where even a Great Emperor could perish.

Wang Yun had not yet become an Emperor, after all. After the great battle with over a dozen Supremes, his consumption must have been immense. Entering the Boundary Sea now, he had likely met with disaster.

Some lamented for him, grieving that this age had lost a powerhouse who could have protected it.

Others secretly rejoiced, such as those Forbidden Zone Supreme Being who survived the Dark Turmoil, and certain forces within the Nine Heavens that had once had friction with Wang Yun; they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The mountain that had been weighing on their heads seemed to have finally collapsed.

A brilliant yet brief era seemed to have drawn its curtains.

The Yu Family.

When Chen Yang, covered in the dust of travel and unconcealable sorrow, informed Yu Changqing and the other core figures of the news of Wang Yun's 'long journey,' the meeting hall fell into a dead silence.

He did not speak the truth about Luo Xi's dissipation; that was a pain hidden deep in his heart.

He simply suppressed his grief and repeated Wang Yun's final instructions word for word.

His eyes grew dim, leaving only the resolution and weight that Wang Yun had entrusted to him.

"Yun'er..."

Yu Changqing, an old man accustomed to storms, now trembled as old tears streamed down his face.

Everyone fell into mourning.

However, Chen Yang forced himself to stand straight.

He knew he could not fall.

"Big Brother Yun has only gone on a long journey. Until he returns, I will be the one to protect the Yu Family."

His voice was hoarse, yet filled with determination.

With the full support of Yu Changqing and all the Yu Family Elders, Chen Yang, the brother Wang Yun trusted most, officially took up the burden of protector and became the new leader of the Yu Family.

With his top-tier strength as a Seven Lotus Great Sage, combined with the abundant Treasure Trove and Cultivation insights left by Wang Yun, he quickly stabilized the hearts of the people within and outside the Family.

He became the new pillar of the Yu Family.

Years flowed by, and eras changed.

Under Chen Yang's leadership, the Yu Family did not choose to expand, but instead entered a stage of steady development.

They silently accumulated strength, digesting the massive legacy left by Wang Yun, waiting for the person who might, or might not, return.

Tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

A new Golden Great Age arrived quietly.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, many heroes rose and numerous Prodigies emerged.

A talented younger generation surfaced one after another, Cultivating new Cultivation Techniques, comprehending new Daos, and writing their own legends.

The name of the Supreme Body, Wang Yun, was gradually submerged by new legends.

His invincible grace that suppressed an era was slowly forgotten by the world, becoming a myth that only existed in ancient texts.

Only a few people still alive in the world remembered the figure who had once single-handedly brought a brief peace to the Ten Lands.

Ten thousand years later.

This Golden Great Age finally reached its most brilliant moment.

The struggle for the position of Great Emperor in the new era began, and the day of attaining the Dao arrived.

Everyone's eyes were focused on those few most outstanding Prodigies of the new era.

However, on this very day.

Two powerful auras that did not belong to this era soared into the sky from the Yuan Land.

Chen Yang and Gu Zhan.

As remnants of the previous era, they had already missed the qualification to compete for the position of Great Emperor.

But relying on tens of thousands of years of profound accumulation, they both broke through their shackles and successfully attained the Dao during the same period.

Two brand new Supremes were born.

The entire Yuan Land cheered for them, thinking these two newly ascended Supremes would create a new era of glory.

However, there was no joy on the faces of the two who had successfully attained the Dao.

They only looked towards the same direction in unison.

The Boundary Sea.

In their hearts, there was only one obsession.

To find Wang Yun.

With their powerful strength as newly ascended Supremes, they went deep into the Boundary Sea, deeper than ever before.

They searched frantically within those chaotic Chaos storms, calling out Wang Yun's name, hoping to receive even the slightest response.

However, the only thing that responded to them was dead silence.

They could not find any trace of Wang Yun, as if that person had truly been completely erased from this Universe.

During a desperate deep exploration, they finally touched an unknown power in the depths of the Boundary Sea that even a Great Emperor would fear.

A tragic battle broke out.

In the end, both Chen Yang and Gu Zhan were severely injured, their divine blood staining the Chaos, and they were forced to retreat in a wretched state.

Hope seemed to have completely shattered.

After Chen Yang returned to the Yu Family, in order to heal his injuries and protect the last foundation left by Wang Yun, he issued an order to the entire clan.

The Yu Family would henceforth seal their mountain and live in seclusion, no longer participating in any worldly disputes.

On the other side, the heavily injured Gu Zhan also returned to the Yuan Hall. He said nothing, but silently walked into the Forbidden Ground in the deepest part of the Yuan Hall and entered a deep state of secluded meditation.

These two forces most closely related to Wang Yun fell into complete silence at the same time.

This also seemed to completely announce the final end of the era named Wang Yun.

No one mentioned him anymore, and no one remembered him anymore.

Except.

In that eternal Chaos void where Wang Yun had finally dissipated, which no one could observe.

The "taiji diagram" composed of Luo Xi's Yin Origin and the Yang Origin formed by Wang Yun's Supreme Body had been silent for long years.

Its speed of rotation seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Yin and Yang, two extreme powers, began a new round of blending and converging.

And at the very center of that taiji diagram, that point of true spirit that was both "nothingness" and "everything" seemed to be quietly transforming in this new evolution.
