I can receive unlimited protection; my parents handed me over to the state.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Su Lie knew that the other party was also making a difficult choice.

Just then.

An unexpected communication request suddenly forced its way into the highest level of encryption.

"Wait a moment."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out in the command center.

The voice carried a hint of weariness and hoarseness, yet it contained an undeniable authority.

Su Lie looked up abruptly, staring in disbelief at the avatar that had suddenly appeared on the screen.

That's... Lu Yuan!

"Lu...Lu Yuan?!" Su Lie trembled with excitement. "You...you're still alive?!"

"Nonsense." Lu Yuan's voice sounded weak. "Of course I'm alive. I haven't even had enough to eat yet, how could I die?"

"You..." Su Lie was speechless for a moment. He had a thousand questions to ask, but in the end, they all came down to one sentence: "How... is it going on your end?"

"Oh, I just had a late-night snack, I'm a bit full," Lu Yuan said casually. "I'm digesting now."

Everyone in the command center was completely confused.

Did you have a late-night snack?

What time is it now? You're still in the mood for late-night snacks?

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Yuan interrupted Su Lie's questioning. "The 'Divine Retribution' plan is canceled."

"What?" Su Lie was taken aback.

"I said, cancel it." Lu Yuan's voice turned serious. "They're just a bunch of small fry; it's not time to flip the table yet. If I can't even handle this kind of situation, what about my reputation as a 'Master Craftsman'?"

"But..." Su Lie looked at the overwhelming Chaos Legion on the screen and said urgently, "But they can't hold on much longer!"

"I know," Lu Yuan said calmly. "So, I'm here to 'deliver takeout,' aren't I?"

"takeout?"

"Yes." Lu Yuan smiled. "Give my team members an extra meal."

The voice just fell.

Over the Pacific theater.

Just as Yan Ji and Mu Bingli were in despair.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the gray, chaotic sky.

A golden light shone down from the crack, like a divine miracle.

Within that beam of light, fourteen weapons radiating dazzling divine light slowly descended.

That is……

【Thousand Transformations Beast Soul Axe - Chaos Form】

【Titan Axe of Creation - Chaos Form】

【Asura - Chaos Form】

【Nine Heavens Jade Pendant - Chaotic Form】

……

It is the exclusive artifact of all members of the "League of Gods"!

But at this moment, these divine artifacts underwent a dramatic transformation. Their forms became more ferocious and primal, covered with strange and powerful chaotic patterns, and the aura they emitted was...from the same source as those chaotic creatures!

These artifacts seemed to have been "reforged" by Lu Yuan using the power of chaos!

"This is……"

Yan Ji stared blankly at the Phoenix Cry Divine Sword flying towards her, burning with golden chaotic flames, feeling the terrifying power emanating from it that was both familiar and strange, her mind completely blank.

Let's rewind a few minutes.

Deep within Lu Yuan's soul, at the core of the seed of divinity.

This is no longer a simple "singularity," but a boundless "ocean" filled with primordial chaos.

Lu Yuan's consciousness was like a lone boat in this ocean, which could be capsized and swallowed up at any moment.

"Damn... this is going too far..."

Lu Yuan felt his consciousness being assimilated by the chaos, and he smiled bitterly to himself.

He overestimated himself and underestimated the chaos.

He believed that with the "Creation Furnace" and the core of several major rules, he could forcibly refine the chaos.

But he was wrong.

Chaos cannot be "refined".

It's like a mathematical "zero"; you can multiply it by any number, and the result is still zero.

Any rule, any energy, in the face of chaos, will ultimately meet only one fate—being reduced to zero.

His "Creation Furnace," after frantically devouring a large amount of chaotic power, not only failed to refine it, but was also eroded and assimilated by the chaos itself.

The furnace's "fire" is no longer blazing, the "ice" is no longer cold, and everything has lost its original "definition," turning into a meaningless mess.

The Creation Fusion Order, Lu Yuan's most prized trump card, failed for the first time...

"Mortal...give up..."

The voice of the end, like the whisper of a demon, echoed in his chaotic consciousness. It was not completely destroyed by Lu Yuan, but transformed into the purest "end" intention, lurking in the deepest part of the chaotic sea.

"Before...chaos...everything...is...illusion..."

"Give up to your grandpa!"

Lu Yuan roared, forcibly gathering the last bit of his clear consciousness.

He knew that once he gave up resisting, his consciousness would be completely assimilated by the chaos, and he would no longer be Lu Yuan, but would become a new and more terrifying chaotic aggregate.

"I, Lu Yuan, will die standing! You think I'll just turn into a pile of mush? No way!"

He began frantically thinking of a solution.

Since it cannot be refined or destroyed, what other options are there?

confrontation?

No, any form of confrontation is using "having" to fight against "not having," and will eventually be reduced to "zero."

get away?

Even less likely. His divine seed has already merged with the Sea of ​​Chaos; where could he possibly escape to?

"Calm down... calm down..."

Lu Yuan forced himself to calm down. The more critical the moment, the less he could afford to panic.

He began to recall all the knowledge he possessed, from the most basic physics to the most advanced power of rules.

Chaos...disorder...zero...

and many more!

A sudden inspiration struck Lu Yuan.

He thought of an ancient philosophical idea that had been circulating on Earth for a long time.

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

All things carry yin and embrace yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these energies.

Isn't chaos the most primordial "Tao"?

It is neither destruction nor nothingness, but the collection of all "possibilities"!

The reason it exhibits "zeroing out" and "disorder" is because it lacks an internal "order"—a "singularity" that would transform it from "zero" into "one"!

"I...I'm such a pig-brain!"

Lu Yuan suddenly realized, and was so excited he almost dissipated.

His initial approach was flawed from the start!

He kept thinking about how to "eliminate" chaos and how to "refine" chaos.

This is like a chef who gets a bunch of the finest, most basic flour, water, and eggs, but instead of thinking about how to make them into a cake, he thinks about how to burn them to ashes!

What is this if not a waste of resources?

Chaos is not the enemy!

It is... the finest "raw material"!

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Once Lu Yuan understood this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound echoing in his mind, filled with ecstasy and excitement.

"End, you fool! You guided me to devour chaos, intending for my death. But you never dreamed you'd be giving me a tremendous gift!"

"What...what are you...saying...?"

The thought of "End" was clearly taken aback by Lu Yuan's sudden burst of laughter.

"I said, I want to thank you!" Lu Yuan laughed wildly. "Now, it's my turn to... teach you a lesson!"

Lu Yuan stopped trying to "fight" against chaos and instead began to "understand" and "embrace" it.

He completely merged his last shred of clear consciousness into the sea of ​​chaos.

In that instant, he felt as if he had transformed into the universe itself.

He saw countless "possibilities".

He saw a particle that could exist in countless locations simultaneously.

He saw that time could flow forward and backward simultaneously.

He saw life and death not as opposing concepts, but as states that could transform into each other.

This is chaos! A primordial ocean, unbound by any "rules," brimming with infinite "possibilities"!

"I see... I see..."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself, completely immersed in this wonderful state.

He finally understood.

What he needs to do is not to "eliminate" chaos, but to... "define the rules" for it!

What he wants to do is not to be an "alchemist", but a... "legislator"!

"So, the first rule..."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"Let's call it... 'Yin' and 'Yang'!"

With a thought, he condensed his understanding of "ice" and "fire," "life" and "death," "creation" and "destruction" into two most primitive and opposing "concepts," and then planted them, like two seeds, into this chaotic sea.

"boom--!"

The chaotic sea erupted in an instant!

It's like adding a drop of boiling oil and a drop of ice to a pot of calm boiling water at the same time.

Centered on those two "concept seeds," the entire Chaos Sea was forcibly divided into two opposing camps.

Half of the chaos began to evolve in the direction of "yang," becoming hot, expanding, and violent.

The other half of the chaos began to evolve in the direction of "yin," becoming cold, contracted, and lifeless.

Two completely opposite forces collided and annihilated wildly in the chaotic sea, unleashing energy billions of times more terrifying than before.

In this terrifying collision, Lu Yuan's consciousness was like a small boat in a raging storm, which could be torn to pieces at any moment.

"Not enough...not stable enough..."

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth. He knew that "yin" and "yang" alone were not enough; they would only intensify the conflict and destruction.

He also needs a... "mediator"!

An "axis" that allows "yin" and "yang" to transform into each other and circulate endlessly!

"All things carry yin and embrace yang, and through the interaction of these energies, harmony is achieved..."

The phrase flashed through Lu Yuan's mind again.

"What exactly is that 'inflating'... and that 'and'?"

He was thinking frantically.

Suddenly, he thought of himself.

He thought of himself, a being who had devoured countless rules and was himself a collection of contradictions.

He possesses both the abyssal fire representing "yang" and the life-giving ice representing "yin".

He can both "create" and "destroy".

Isn't he himself the "mediator"?

"I... am the 'Tao'!"

Lu Yuanfu, moved by a sudden inspiration, let out a cry that resonated deep within his soul.

He no longer saw himself as an outside "legislator," but instead placed the core of his consciousness completely and without reservation at the very center of the clash between the two forces of "yin" and "yang"!

He wants to use his own "existence" as that "axis"! As that "harmony"!

"boom--!"

The moment Lu Yuan's consciousness returned to the center.

The two chaotic forces of "yin" and "yang," which were originally violently clashing, seemed to have found an outlet for their release, and also seemed to have found their final destination.

Instead of annihilating each other, they began to rotate slowly and orderly, centered on Lu Yuan's consciousness.

A yang pole generates a yin pole, and a yin pole generates a yang pole.

A colossal "Tai Chi diagram" composed of chaos slowly formed within Lu Yuan's divine seed!

The fiery "yang" energy flows to the cold "yin" land, transforming into "yin" in the extreme cold.

The deathly still "Yin" power flows to the raging "Yang" land, transforming into "Yang" in the extreme heat.

A perfect, self-sufficient, and ever-evolving "chaotic cycle" has been established!

Lu Yuan's consciousness is located at the very center of this cycle; he is both "yin" and "yang," both "creation" and "destruction."

He is the absolute master of this newly born "Chaotic Taiji"!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Feeling the endless, boundless chaotic power within his body, Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

He succeeded!

Not only was he not swallowed by the chaos, but instead... he took control of the chaos!

He transformed the malfunctioning "Genesis Furnace" into an even more terrifying and primordial existence—the [Chaos Taiji]!

"The end...did you see it?"

Lu Yuan sneered and turned his gaze to one of the "fish eyes" that he regarded as the "yin-yang fish," where the final will was imprisoned.

"This is... my 'Way'!"

"No...it's impossible...this...goes against...everything..."

The will of the end emitted waves of fear and bewilderment. It could not comprehend why chaos could be governed by "order".

"Nothing is impossible," Lu Yuan said calmly. "Because I set the rules."

With a thought, a wisp of pure chaotic power was extracted from the [Chaotic Taiji].

This power can evolve into any rule he desires, according to his will.

He can turn it into "life force" that creates all things, or he can turn it into "death force" that destroys everything.

"So..."

Lu Yuan felt an unprecedented power within himself, and his consciousness returned to reality.

He "saw" the "legion of gods" trapped in dire straits on the surface of the earth.

He "saw" the desperate yet indomitable look in Yan Ji and Mu Bingli's eyes.

A surge of anger rose within him.

"Do you think you can bully my teammates, you bunch of chaotic 'split entities'?"

With a thought, he drew fourteen streams of chaotic power from the [Chaotic Taiji].

Then, based on his understanding of the fourteen team members, he forcibly "defined" these fourteen chaotic forces into the most suitable form for them.

He defined a chaotic force as "Roar of Ten Thousand Beasts" and injected it into Gu Tianye's battle axe.

Another force, defined as "Titan Power," was injected into Xiang Batian's battle axe.

Another force, defined as "Asura Killing Intent," was injected into Ye Cang's demonic blade.

……

He even defined a chaotic power as "Phoenix Nirvana" and infused it into Yan Ji's [Phoenix Cry] divine sword.

This is no longer a simple "enchantment" or "upgrade".

This is using the most primordial chaotic power to give these artifacts a complete "reshaping"!

Imbue them with... the divinity of "chaos"!

"Go."
