In the endless darkness, a spark of fire lit up.

Chen Yao regained consciousness again.

“Where is this…”

Sweeping the endless darkness around him, Chen Yao saw a ray of spark in the distance.

This is the only point in this space that can make Chen Yao concentrate his attention.

Then, Chen Yao went towards the spark.

Maybe it’s walking, maybe it’s running, maybe it’s swimming.

Chen Yao didn’t know what his current situation was.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yao was finally able to see clearly what the spark was.

A flame.

Chen Yao felt that he was very familiar with this flame, but he just couldn’t remember its name.

Chen Yao swam hard and dived into the flames.

A picture appeared in Chen Yao’s mind.

It was a giant wolf lying on the top of the mountain.

The giant wolf was so big that it had to lie down on the top of the mountain just enough for it to fit.

At this time, the giant wolf was looking in a certain direction, as if expecting something.

Chen Yao was puzzled. Like Huo Miao, he was also familiar with this giant wolf, but he couldn’t remember its name.

“Did I forget something?”

Chen Yao was puzzled.

Then he saw the giant wolf turn its head and look to the side. There was a pillar, a pillar made of earth and stone.

There were various patterns on the pillars. The more Chen Yao looked at them, the more familiar they seemed, but he just couldn’t remember what they were.

This kind of entanglement directly excluded him from the flame.

Chen Yao wanted to go in again, but was excluded.

Looking at the flames in front of him, Chen Yao felt a little sad for some reason.

At this moment, Chen Yao saw another flame in another direction behind the flame, where there was another flame.

Delighted, Chen Yao swam towards the flame again and dived into it.

This time, it was a human.

Chen Yao didn’t know why the word “human” appeared in his mind, but it just appeared.

This human was directing people to do something in a gathering place. He was very busy. Chen Yao kept watching and felt a little bored.

Just as he was about to leave, the human came back into the room, sat on a chair and began to daydream.

After a long while, he took out a small stone and stroked it.

Chen Yao could see his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn’t hear what he was saying. Chen Yao tried hard to listen, but was excluded again.

This time, Chen Yao looked around again, and sure enough, there was another flame.

Chen Yao rushed over impatiently and dived into it.

This time, it was not a person, but a big willow tree.

Chen Yao could only see the willow tree standing there, but the willow tree said nothing and did nothing, yet he felt a hint of sadness from the willow tree.

“Why is it sad?”

Chen Yao pondered, and then the flames were expelled.

Without stopping, Chen Yao continued to enter the next flame.

This time it was a giant bear, holding a large pile of beehives in its hands, but it did not eat the honey hanging from the hives.

After a while, the bear climbed to the top of the mountain.

Chen Yao also saw the giant wolf he had seen before.

The top of the mountain was already very narrow, but the giant bear still squeezed up and placed the beehive next to the pillar.

“Why is that?!”

Chen Yao felt a splitting pain in his head, and then the flames were expelled.

After stopping thinking, Chen Yao felt better.

But he didn’t think it was right.

Turn around and continue to the next flame.

From the flames, Chen Yao saw all kinds of different species.

There are people, animals, plants, and dead things.

Although they all looked different, Chen Yao sensed the same aura from them.

The breath of sadness.

The more he watched, the more images appeared in Chen Yao’s mind, and the more his head hurt.

Chen Yao didn’t know what his headache would be like in the end, but he just wanted to figure out why the creatures in the pictures were sad and what they were saying.

Pictures kept interweaving in Chen Yao’s consciousness, the speed was getting faster and faster, and Chen Yao’s head was getting more and more painful.

At a certain moment, just when Chen Yao thought he was going to explode, he heard a cat’s meow.

The cat’s meow seemed to be the beginning, and then more and more sounds appeared in his mind.

The splitting headache disappeared, and he finally heard those voices, understood them, and knew why they were sad.

“So, I’m already dead?”

Chen Yao, who had recovered his memory, murmured.

“But where is this place? Why am I here?”

Chen Yao didn’t understand and began to wander in this space.

I don’t know how long it has been, maybe a year, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years.

Chen Yao looked at the scenes in the flames over and over again. Even though he had memorized every detail, he still kept looking.

Without watching, he would have nothing to do.

After watching so much, Chen Yao began to have wild thoughts.

He wondered if he had survived a little longer, he might not have died.

If he had left directly through the River Styx at that time, would he not have died?

After thinking too much, Chen Yao became annoyed again and felt that it was all meaningless.

So I started thinking about the fight he was doing, and how could he have won in that situation?
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, Hades, thunder, time, space, and curse.

How to combine the ten methods to defeat the Heavenly Corpse?

Chen Xin combined them one by one, and even combined the totem powers he originally possessed with the ten kinds of Tao one by one.

But no matter how he combined them, he found that he seemed unable to defeat the Heavenly Corpse.

The eyes of the Heavenly Corpse alone were something he could not break through, so even if he had developed a more powerful attack ability, he would not be able to hit the Heavenly Corpse.

The golden light that breaks the law and illusion is useful, but even if the way of gold is added, it cannot completely suppress the celestial corpse.

In the end, Chen Yao gave up on deducing how to defeat the Heavenly Corpse.

He thought it was impossible.

Not knowing how long he stayed in this dark space, Chen Yao began to deduce again.

But this time, he was not deducing how to defeat the Heavenly Corpse.

Instead, he was using the power of his totems to create something similar to a card game.

He wanted to kill time.

So he imagined the various totemic powers as cards, and then he imagined two other selves and started playing games with himself.

He had a lot of fun playing at first, but as time went on he became bored because the card content was too monotonous.

Then, with an idea in mind, he began to combine different cards to form something similar to a set effect.

Thus, he became interested again.

Time passes by unknowingly.

The number of card combinations in Chen Yao’s mind increased.

One time, when Chen Yao was studying a new card combination, he suddenly found something interesting.

As the number of card sets increased, a cycle was formed between the thousands of Totem Power cards in Chen Yao’s hands.

There seems to be no connection between the two cards, but they can be indirectly connected through several other cards.

This kind of relationship aroused Chen Yao’s great interest.

In this way, for any card, there is actually a set of cards that can restrain it. Similarly, there is also a set of cards that can make it stronger.

This discovery suddenly brought Chen Yao back to his senses from the game.

What he was thinking about was not the Heavenly Corpse, but the power in the Five Elements that he had never understood before.

That power was born from the Five Elements and destroyed by the Five Elements, but Chen Yao never knew what it was.

But now, Chen Yao suddenly had some enlightenment.

The mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements is a complete system. Other things like the Way of Thunder cannot be integrated into it.

What is the power born between the five elements?
What power can make the five elements not repel each other?
Chen Yao’s head started to hurt again. He hadn’t felt this kind of pain for a long time.

In the past, when he encountered this kind of pain, he would give up thinking because he knew that thinking would not produce any results and would only add to the pain.

But this time, he didn’t give up.

“What on earth is that thing?”

Roads flowed through Chen Yao’s consciousness, and totemic power passed through him. Chen Yao always felt like he had overlooked something.

So he searched for everything he had bit by bit, until he saw the River Styx and the dark energy belonging to the River Styx.

hum~
In the dark space, a white light appeared where Chen Yao’s consciousness was. After the white light, the surrounding darkness began to fade away.

No, not faded, but covered.

Covered by new grass, covered by growing trees, covered by piled up soil and rocks, and covered by born young animals.

Covered by wind, covered by rain, covered by sunshine, covered by lightning, covered by fire…

When there was no longer any darkness in this space, the countless flames in this space began to gather together and converge towards where Chen Yao was.

The flames fell into the bright light where Chen Yao was, and then the shadow of a pillar began to condense with the flames.

Totems also appeared on the pillars.

Time seems to be of no use.

Chen Yao seemed to have experienced a lot, but also seemed to have experienced nothing.

At a certain moment, Chen Yao opened his eyes.

Everything around disappeared.

What appeared before his eyes was the celestial corpse that had just crushed his body.

Chen Yao saw doubt in those eyes.

“Are you wondering?”

Chen Yao smiled.

He looked down at the fragments of his body, but did not pick them up. “I have doubts too.”

Chen Yao looked at the celestial corpse again.

“So, you come and answer my questions.”

Under the puzzled gaze of the Heavenly Corpse, Chen Yao stretched out his hand, the power of Taoism permeated, and the Heavenly Corpse showed a mocking look.

Then the way of metal appeared, the way of wood appeared, the way of water appeared, the way of fire appeared, and the way of earth appeared.

The Five Elements once again turned into a circle, but this time, it did not end.

In the other hand, the Way of Space appeared, condensing into a Hutian space only ten feet in size.

When the two hands met, the five elements of Taoism entered the Hutian space.

Immediately, the way of thunder, the flow of time, and the way of curse were thrown into it.

After the last of the Dark Dao was thrown into it, the ten kinds of Dao essence in the ten-foot-square space of Hutian began to fluctuate violently, and it seemed that they would explode at any time.

But at this moment, Chen Yao smiled.

He threw a wisp of fire of faith into the five elements circle.

It seemed as if something was ignited by the fire of faith, and a breath of life was born from the invisible, flowing among other Tao essences.

Every Dao Yun that was touched by it calmed down.

Soon, flowers, plants and trees appeared in the ten-foot square.

Immediately afterwards, the energy of thunder rose, merged into the space and disappeared.

The essence of the underworld descended, merged into space and disappeared.

The way of the curse differentiated, merged into all things, and disappeared.

The flow of time spread out, and all things in space began to grow.

The five elements rings dispersed and disappeared into various parts of the space.

At this point, there was no more Tao within the ten-foot square space.

“Can you explain to me what this is?”

Chen Yao smiled and threw the space towards the Heavenly Corpse.

Tianshi felt something was wrong, but he didn’t think Chen Yao could do anything to him.

Then he took over the space.

“what have you done?”

Tianshi asked.

“It seems that you don’t understand either.”

Chen Yao smiled.

“I’m relieved that you don’t understand.”

In an instant, the space in the Sky Corpse’s hand suddenly expanded, covering the Sky Corpse, Chen Yao, and covering an area of ​​a hundred feet, a thousand feet, and ten thousand feet…

After Chen Yaogan realized that the celestial corpse still lying on the ground was also covered, the space stopped expanding.

Looking at the fake celestial corpse in front of him, Chen Yao smiled and said, “Welcome to… my world.”

Tianshi frowned and waved his hand and a black spear flew over.

But when the spear reached Chen Yao, it stopped.

“I told you, this is my world.”

The spear turned around, and its target was not the celestial corpse in front of it, but the celestial corpse underground.

Before this, Chen Yao had fallen into the opponent’s scheme since the first time he saw the celestial corpse.

This is also the reason why he died later.

Bang!
The earth collapsed under this spear. With a power that even the Sky Corpse could not understand, the black spear pierced the entire earth, creating a crack with no end in sight.

Then, the Heavenly Corpse saw his own body.

“Did you notice?”

Chen Yao shook his head.

“I told you, this is my world.”

Chen Yao waved his hand, and the body of the Heavenly Corpse was lifted from the ground.

Chen Yao disappeared on the spot.

Suddenly, a voice resounding through heaven and earth was heard.

“Thunder is punishment, curse is law, the five elements rotate, life and death cycle, this is my world, that is, the Pot Heaven Realm!”

Chen Yao’s face appeared in the sky, and then a finger made up of endless lightning pressed down.

The body of the celestial corpse was shattered by a single finger.

Even until his body disappeared, the Heavenly Corpse still didn’t understand.

Why did Chen Yao become so powerful?

Create your own world?
impossible.

……

Outside the Hutian realm.

Looking at the celestial corpses that died within the realm, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s finally solved, although it’s not perfect.”

Looking at the Hu Tianjie in his hand, Chen Yao smiled.

Thinking back to everything he had experienced in that darkness, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. If he hadn’t realized that the thing in the Five Elements that was both born and unborn was the way of life, the result would probably not have been like this.

Only after understanding the way of life can Chen Yao be resurrected and reshape his body.

The reason why its body was crushed by the Heavenly Corpse but it did not die was because of the half of the Way of Life that appeared before.

If Chen Yao had not understood the way of life in that space, he would have stayed in that space forever.

But there is also a most crucial point, the fire of faith!
There is some inexplicable connection between the fire of faith and the way of life.

Therefore, those flames were able to appear in that space, allowing Chen Yao to recover all his memories, and to discover the way to life in the subsequent process.

Of course, the way of life is only part of what Chen Yao gained in that space.

Hutian Realm is Chen Yao’s greatest gain after his sudden enlightenment.

The eleven paths constitute the most basic structure of the world. When the rules are perfected, the Hutian Realm appears.

However, the Hutian Realm was not invincible at this time. The reason why Tianshi had no ability to fight back was because he was in the Hutian Realm and had to abide by the rules of the Hutian Realm.

And this rule was established by the Dao of Hutian Realm.

And Chen Yao is the Tao of Hutian Realm.

Unless the Heavenly Corpse has the power to destroy a world with one blow, he must abide by the rules of the Hu Heaven Realm.

Thus, His failure was inevitable.

Of course, it just failed.

Chen Yao did not completely kill the Heavenly Corpse in Hutian Realm. Perhaps after a long time, the Heavenly Corpse will be resurrected in Hutian Realm.

But at that time, the Hutian Realm was no longer the Hutian Realm it is today.

After putting away Hu Tianjie, Chen Yao looked at the wilderness, smiled, and disappeared on the spot.

……

Xia Longhu and Yin Li waited on the blood road for a long time.

There was even a moment when they both realized that the connection between the Pillar God and them was broken.

Fortunately, he recovered later, otherwise the two would have already started preparing for his funeral.

“What will happen to the Pillar God?”

“How about you tell fortunes?”

Xia Longhu suddenly said.

“Do you want me to die?”

Yin Li said unhappily.

He could not predict the fate of any of those two beings, and yet he predicted the fate of both of them at once. If he didn’t die, who would?
Just as the two were silent, a voice sounded in their minds.

After hearing the words “solved”, Xia Longhu and Yin Li were both surprised.

Immediately, they bowed to the void and said:
“The Pillar God is eternal!”

……

Time flies.

During this period of time, Chen Yao explored all the places deep in the Shiwanda Mountains.

All that should be collected has been collected, and those that should be confiscated will be collected one after another later.

Today, in the entire Shiwan Mountains… no, on this entire “island”, there is no living being that is not a follower of Chen Yao.

Chen Yao also used the accumulated fire of faith to increase his control over the way of space to 50%.

Originally he wanted to improve it, but it was difficult to go above 50%.

So he was not in a hurry, but mastered 50% of the other ten ways.

In this way, his Hutian Realm became indestructible with the addition of Tao.

However, Chen Yao did not eliminate the celestial corpses in the Hutian Realm.

Because when he was about to destroy the Heavenly Corpse, he suddenly had a feeling that if he destroyed the Heavenly Corpse, the integrity of the Hutian Realm would be greatly reduced.

After thinking about it, Chen Yao vaguely understood something.

Tao does not allow perfection to exist.

Even the Hutian Realm, which is a world of its own, must abide by the rules of the Tao in which Chen Yao resides.

In this way, Chen Yao did not go against the trend anymore.

Seeing that he could no longer improve, Chen Yao no longer lingered.

He flew up and came under the strong wind layer.

Looking at the continent beneath his feet, Chen Yao threw the Hu Tianjie in his hand down.

The Hutian Realm continued to expand, covering this “island” with no end in sight.

Then, the Hutian Realm shrank and returned to Chen Yao’s hands.

The island under his feet is still there, but all the living beings on it have fallen into an identical world in Hutian Realm.

Looking at the believers in Hutianjie who had no perception at all, Chen Yao put away Hutianjie and looked into the distance.

Now that the believers’ problems have been resolved, it’s time to leave.

With one step, Chen Yao stepped into the Styx space.

“It’s time to become a ‘traveler’.”

With another step, Chen Yao fell into the River Styx and headed towards the unknown endless sea.

What will be waiting for him there?
