Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

The roar from the abyss suddenly rose in volume, the tentacles of primordial chaos tearing through the spatial barriers and pressing down on the Star Alliance headquarters like collapsing mountains. Qin Wang, however, smiled. He released the Heaven-Splitting Sword, letting it dangle above the void passage. With his hands, he formed an ancient seal—the opening move of the "God-Slaying Technique" that Xu Xian had finally taught him.

"Ye Zun, you said that chaos is the truth of the universe." The black mist in Qin Wang's right eye was pushed back inch by inch by the silver light, "Then I will tell you the true way of the supreme being——"

The moment the seal was completed, the seventeen realms of the Star Chain Array lit up simultaneously. In each realm's sky, Xu Xian's figure emerged, his white robes fluttering, his sword pointed at the abyss.

"——It's sacrifice, it's protection, it's doing something knowing it's impossible!"

Thousands of sword lights descended like a galaxy. The tentacles of primordial chaos evaporated in the silver light, and the void passage suddenly closed. Ye Zun let out a final, unwilling roar, and was sealed into the endless void forever along with the abyss.

When the last wisp of black mist dissipated, the morning sun just emerged from the sea of ​​clouds. Golden light shone on Qin Wang, and the shackles between his brows gradually faded. Only the gray-gold light in his left eye remained as bright as before.

A deathly silence fell over the Star Alliance headquarters. Zhou Mu knelt tremblingly, "Welcome back, Supreme One."

Qin Wang looked at the palm of his hand - there lay a newborn seed, pure white, with the outline of Xu Xian vaguely visible.

"Brother, this time it's my turn to wait for you." He said softly, placing the seed in his heart. "For thousands of years, the spark will never go out."

Above the ruins of the Star Alliance headquarters, the morning sun gilded the broken walls with a golden glow. Qin Wang stood still in the void, his palm resting on the newly born seed, his gray-gold robe swaying slightly in the morning breeze. His left eye had regained clarity, and the black mist in his right eye had completely dissipated, leaving only the faint trace of the circular shackles between his brows.

"Supreme." Zhou Mu approached with his injured body, his voice hoarse, "Although the seventeen realms' spiritual veins have stabilized, the chaos pollution in various places..."

Qin Wang raised his hand to interrupt him: "Treat the injured first." He glanced at the mess on the ground, "Those who survived are all Xinghuo."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and turned to look toward the eastern sky. A blood-red meteor streaked across the sky, trailing an ominous flame.

"That's it." Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes.

"Heavenly fire is a warning." Qin Wang's voice deepened. "Something has passed through the void barrier and entered the Seventeenth Realm."

The seed warmed slightly in his palm, sending a wave of unease. Qin Wang closed his eyes, sensing it. His consciousness spread like a tide, instantly covering the entire Star Alliance headquarters. In an inconspicuous corner, his senses picked up a hint of something unusual—a broken copper coin halfway beneath a piece of rubble stained with black blood.

"A fragment of the Yin-Yang Questioning Coin." He teleported to the gravel and lightly touched the coin with his fingertips. On the fragment, only half of the pupil of the eye remained, but it still moved strangely, staring at him intently.

"Do you think it's over?" A whispered voice came from the copper coin, carrying the madness of death. "Chaos. Eternal life."

Qin Wang crushed the coin expressionlessly. Black blood oozed from between his fingers, corroding his palm so much that it sizzled.

"Supreme!" Zhou Mu exclaimed.

"It's alright." Qin Wang shook off the black blood, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Pass the order down, conduct a thorough search of all copper coin fragments and burn them with the Pure Fire."

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the western sky. Everyone looked in horror, only to see the Yuheng Realm's projection trembling violently within the Star Chain Array, and a hideous crack appeared in the barrier of the realm!

"Not good!" Zhou Mu's face changed drastically. "Yuheng Realm is the hometown of those with spiritual pupils. If Chaos invades from there..."

Qin Wang had already transformed into a streak of light and sped away, his voice carrying far and wide: "Activate the 'Heavenly Net' formation and seal off the main altar!"

The sky over the Yuheng Realm resembled shattered glass, a thick black mist seeping from the spiderweb-like cracks. The earth trembled, and the towering observatory tower collapsed with a loud bang, startling countless birds.

The moment Qin Wang crossed the boundary barrier, a stench of decay washed over him. Unconscious people with spirit pupils lay scattered across the streets, black blood seeping from their eye sockets, leaving strange lines on their faces.

"Spiritual pollution." Qin Wang squatted down, lightly touching a young girl's forehead with his fingertips. His divine sense probed, revealing a horrifying sight—the consciousnesses of these spiritual pupils had been dragged into a blood-red space, and countless black arms stretched out from the sea of ​​blood, attempting to drag them into the abyss.

"The remaining consciousness of Ye Zun? No, this aura is even more ancient."

Suddenly, he looked up. From the direction of Jingxin Cliff, the highest peak in the Yuheng Realm, a dark pillar of light shot up into the sky, connecting with the rift in the sky. Within the pillar of light, a bronze altar could be vaguely seen slowly rising.

Qin Wang teleported to the top of the Pure Heart Cliff. The sight before him made his pupils shrink: Kneeling on the altar were hundreds of controlled spirit pupils, their heads slamming against the ground, their foreheads bleeding into a complex formation. In the center of the formation, a beating black heart hovered—identical to the one seen in the Star Core Chamber, yet even more vivid!
"The offspring of the original chaos." Qin Wang immediately understood the meaning of the skyfire warning. "Someone wants to rebuild the chaos mother nest here!"

"You're too late." A hoarse voice came from behind the altar.

Qin Wang turned around and saw a cloaked figure step out of the shadows. The man lifted his hood, revealing a face covered in black veins—it was Mo Huaizhou, the guardian of the Yuheng Realm!
"Mo Huaizhou?" Qin Wang narrowed his eyes. "You betrayed the Star Alliance?"

"Betrayal?" Mo Huaizhou's mouth twisted into a strange smile. "I have always been loyal to the true Supreme." He opened his arms, and the beating of his black heart suddenly accelerated. "Look! The original gift!"

The spirit pupils on the altar suddenly raised their heads. Their eyeballs were gone, replaced by a wriggling black mist. The black mist stretched towards their hearts like tentacles, enveloping them in a giant cocoon.

Qin Wang stopped talking nonsense, and the Sky-Cutting Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. However, just as he was about to strike, the Black Heart suddenly let out a baby-like cry!
"Wow--!"

The sound waves exploded like matter, and Jingxin Cliff collapsed instantly. Qin Wang was thrown hundreds of feet by the impact. Before he could steady himself, he saw that the black cocoon had broken open, revealing a child, perhaps three or four years old, curled up inside. The child slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of pure black eyes—no whites, no pupils, only endless darkness.

"Father." The child stretched out his hand toward Qin Wang, his voice echoing countless times.

Qin Wang felt a sudden burning pain in the shackles between his eyebrows. He was shocked to discover that the power flowing in this child's body was actually the same power as his own!
"Surprised?" Mo Huaizhou knelt on the ground enthusiastically, "This is the vessel conceived with your blood and the Heart of Chaos—the supreme body of the new generation!"

Qin Wang finally understood the true purpose of those copper coins - they were not only a tool to control the monks, but also a medium to collect his power! From the moment he became the Supreme of Balance, the conspiracy had already begun.
The black-eyed child staggered to his feet, each step leaving a decaying black lotus blooming beneath his feet. The spiritual energy of the Jade Balance Realm surged towards him, only to be tainted by its filthy blackness upon contact with his skin. "Father...why...don't you want me..." the child cried, his voice trembling with heartbreaking sobs. His outstretched arm suddenly swelled, transforming into a monstrous claw that lunged at Qin Wang!

The Sword of Heaven-Cutting blocked the blow, sparks flying everywhere. Qin Wang was knocked back three steps by the immense force, leaving five distinct fingerprints on the sword.

"Such strong corrosiveness." Qin Wang was secretly shocked. This child's power far exceeded Ye Zun's. Even more terrifying, he could sense that his blood indeed flowed through the child's body - the product of the power collected by the copper coin and the fusion of chaos.

The child tilted his head, and sticky liquid flowed from his pure black eyes: "Father, do you hate me?" His voice suddenly became cold, "Then abandon me just like you abandoned Ye Zun!"

When the second claw struck, black traces ripped through space. Qin Wang no longer held back. The shackles between his eyebrows lit up with a dazzling silver light. The cracks on the Sword of Heaven-Cutting instantly healed, and the blade's edge burst into a fierce flame of gray and gold.

"cut!"

The swords and claws collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that flattened the entire mountain. Mo Huaizhou and the controlled spirit pupils were instantly vaporized, unable to even utter a scream. Amidst the smoke and dust, the child was chopped hundreds of feet away, a deep wound visible to the bone piercing his chest, yet not a drop of blood flowed—only a swirling black mist.

"It hurts so much." The child looked down at the wound and suddenly grinned, "But... it feels so good." His wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body grew in size. In a blink of an eye, he looked like he was seven or eight years old!
Qin Wang's pupils shrank: "He is absorbing my power to evolve."

"That's right." The child's voice became more mature. "The more you attack me, the stronger I become." He spread his arms, and the sky of the Yuheng Realm darkened completely. "Because I am your opposite, the perfect combination of order and chaos."

Qin Wang suddenly felt a surge of palpitations. The seed in his palm vibrated rapidly. He looked down and saw black threads emerging from the pure white seed coat!

"Brother?" He tried to communicate with his spiritual sense, but only heard Xu Xian's intermittent response: "Be careful. He is contaminating the star chain."

Qin Wang suddenly looked up and saw that the child had been suspended in mid-air, his hands forming a familiar hand seal—the very hand seal that controlled the Star Chain Array! Even more terrifying, as he moved, the spiritual veins connecting the Yuheng Realm and the other sixteen realms began to distort, gradually turning black.

"Stop!" Qin Wang shouted, "You will destroy the Seventeen Realms!"

"Ruined?" The child tilted his head. "No, I'm saving them." His smile was innocent yet cruel. "Just like you devoured Ye Zun, I will devour all realms and become the true Supreme of the Universe!"

A huge gap appeared in the sky, and a giant hand made of black mist slowly stretched out and grabbed the earth of Yuheng Realm.
Wherever the giant hand of black mist passed, mountains collapsed and rivers flowed backward. The creatures of the Yuheng Realm wailed in despair as their vital energy was forcibly drained away, transforming into countless points of light that flew towards the child.

Qin Wang knew that if this strike landed, the entire Yuheng Realm would become the nutrient for chaos. Without hesitation, he soared into the sky, the Heaven-Cutting Sword radiating an unprecedented light. Fine silver runes appeared on the blade—the power of the "Heavenly Rule Lock" left by Xu Xian.

“Break!”

The sword flashed like a galaxy, severing the giant hand in the black mist at the wrist. The severed hand fell to the ground, creating a huge crater a thousand feet in diameter. The child giggled, "It's no use, father." He pointed to the sky, "Look."

Qin Wang looked up, his pupils shrinking suddenly—more black mist surged from his severed wrist, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a new hand! Even more terrifying, this time three giant hands appeared simultaneously, grabbing at different parts of the Yuheng Realm.

"Can you kill them all?" The child's voice was full of teasing. "Every time I destroy a living being, I become stronger. And you..." He stared at the seed in Qin Wang's palm, "your power is constantly depleting."

Indeed, Qin Wang could feel the shackles between his eyebrows loosening. Overusing the power of the Heavenly Rule Lock had made the seal unstable. Worse still, the black threads on the seed's surface had spread to one-third of its surface, and Xu Xian's consciousness seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"We must fight quickly and decisively," Qin Wang's mind raced. He suddenly sheathed his Heaven-Cutting Sword and formed a strange hand seal—his fingers intertwined like flower buds, his thumbs facing each other to form the stamen. This was the most forbidden move in the "Chaos Tribulation Sutra": "Return to the Ruins."

For the first time, the child showed a look of caution: "What are you going to do?"

"I'll teach you what true balance is." Qin Wang's seal was completed, and the entire Yuheng Realm suddenly came to a standstill. The wind stopped, the clouds settled, and even the falling rubble froze in mid-air.

Only the three giant hands in the black mist continued to move, but their movements had become incredibly slow. The child was shocked to find that his body had also begun to stiffen, as if he were trapped in an invisible quagmire.

"Time and space confinement? No." He struggled, "This is..."

"The power of Guixu." Qin Wang's voice became ethereal. "The ultimate law that returns all things to nothingness." His figure gradually blurred, as if he was merging with the entire Yuheng Realm. "Don't you want my power? Come and take it."

The child suddenly felt terrified. He frantically urged the power of chaos, but found that his connection with the giant hand of black mist was being severed! Even more terrifying, his body began to fly uncontrollably towards Qin Wang.

"No! Stop!" the child screamed, his body growing rapidly in fear, and in the blink of an eye he became a teenager. "I am the Supreme! I..."

"You are nothing." Qin Wang's voice came from all directions, "just a pathetic container."

As the young man crashed into Qin Wang's arms, a blinding light erupted between them. The sky of the Yuheng Realm shattered like a mirror, revealing the dazzling Star Chain Array behind. Projections of the seventeen realms lit up simultaneously, and countless spiritual veins intertwined into a web, enveloping the two.

“No! Let me go!” The young man struggled in the cocoon of light, and the same shackles as Qin Wang appeared on his skin. “I refuse to be balanced!”

Qin Wang didn't answer. His body gradually faded, transforming into countless points of light that merged into the Star Chain Array. The light cocoon shrank smaller and smaller, eventually shrinking to a fist-sized ball, hovering above the sky above the Yuheng Realm.

silence.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ball of light, and a drop of black blood fell to the ground. Then, a second and a third drop followed in the blink of an eye. The black blood poured down like a torrential rain, corroding the ground of the Yuheng Realm into countless pits.

After the ball of light completely dissipated, Qin Wang's figure had vanished without a trace. Only the blackened seed fell from the sky, landing with a thud on the scorched earth and rolling deep into a crack. (End of Chapter)
