Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 28 Death Swamp Thirty-Six Yuanhui

As for why he didn't go and clean up the main battlefield?

That's because it's unnecessary.

The main battle between the three races was the most brutal and widespread, turning almost half of the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent into ruins.

But after the great battle ended, the supreme beings such as the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Qilin repaired the world with their Dao bodies and primordial spirits; most of the dead in this battle also returned to the world, nourishing that scorched earth and repairing the area that had almost destroyed them, so there was no need for them to repair it.

The few who did not return to the world were taken away by the surviving powerhouses of the three races or myriad races. They would not remain in their original places, nor would he need to clean them up. He would not gain any benefit by going there.

"Good!" Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling nodded slightly.

Without further ado, the three connected with Yuan Yan's energy, and the four great Dao energies of the same origin merged, communicating with heaven and earth and jointly deducing the secrets of heaven.

In less than a century, the secrets of heaven were clearly revealed before the four, including all those places with thick bloodlust and resentment, and broken earth veins.

All the battlefield locations that needed to be cleared and repaired were deduced, including those battlefields where Great Luo Golden Immortals participated.

Without pausing, Yuan Yan tore through space, traversing space with the Yuan Realm, Yuan Wheel, and Yuan Spirit, heading towards the nearest location.

In just a few breaths, ripples spread across the void, and the four stepped out of the void, descending directly to the edge of the battlefield of the three races, where Great Luo Golden Immortals were participating and needed to be cleared.

Yuan Yan looked up, his gaze shifting slightly. What met his eyes was not a shattered landscape, but an endless, desolate wasteland of death.

The vast expanse of water stretched across the heavens and the earth, and even a Great Immortal could not see its end. The water was as black as ink and reeked of a pungent, bloody stench. The bloody aura condensed into solid dark clouds, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars, leaving no light in the world.

Yuan Yan's primordial spirit communicated with heaven and earth, instantly gaining insight into the past of this place:

This place was originally a famous mountain and a great river in the primordial East, with its waters flowing endlessly, running east to west and flowing into the East China Sea, nourishing hundreds of millions of living beings on both banks. However, an earth-shattering war completely destroyed this land.

The might of the great battle caused the heavens and earth to collapse, the universe to turn upside down, the earth to sink, and the mountains to crumble. The once surging river completely changed its course, and endless water poured out, submerging hundreds of millions of miles of surrounding territory, turning it into a boundless swamp.

Moreover, countless lives perished in the great battle. Their overwhelming resentment before their deaths mingled with the bloodlust of the battlefield, lingering for a long time. The bloodlust filled the sky, obscuring the sunlight, and completely blocking rivers and waterways. The remains of countless lives sank to the bottom of the water, merging with the marshland, and ultimately giving rise to this barren, malevolent sea of ​​death.

The area of ​​this deadly sea is more than 100,000 times larger than the battlefield of the three races that Yuan Yan had previously cleared.

Moreover, the main force in this great battle did not seem to be the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans. There were very few corpses of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans in the sea. What was scattered were almost all the remains of the creatures of the thousands of subordinate clans under the three clans, including birds and beasts, plant spirits, and sea creatures, with an extremely diverse variety.

Although the overall combat strength of this battlefield was far inferior to the high-end battlefields he had cleared before, which even contained unborn Earth Immortals, its strength lay in its terrifying number, which was more than a billion times that of the previous battlefields. Countless corpses sank to the bottom of the water, their resentment intertwined, forming an extremely troublesome calamity force.

Gazing at this seemingly endless, menacing sea of ​​death, Yuan Yan fell into a brief silence.

He originally thought that clearing up the battlefields of the three races that needed to be cleared would be a great opportunity, but now it seems that while it is indeed a great opportunity, it is not so easy to obtain.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Yan and the other three joined forces to deduce a method for cleansing and restoration.

It took several hundred years of deduction before Yuan Yan and his three companions were able to deduce a feasible plan.

The first step is to use supreme supernatural powers to purify or melt away the endless bloodlust and resentment and the remains of billions of living beings in the sea, completely eradicate the root of the filth, and restore the dark, dead seawater to its clear state.

The second step was to reshape the mountains and rivers, open up waterways, and guide the great rivers that had changed course due to the great war back to their original waterways, preventing the dead seawater from flowing everywhere and polluting more waters, thus avoiding affecting all the ancient races, breeding more killings, and causing boundless calamities.

With the plan finalized, Yuan Yan and the other three joined forces, each employing their own methods to purify and clean up the dead sea area.

For example, Yuan Yan first used the Yin-Yang Furnace, but later felt that the Yin-Yang Furnace was too inefficient, so he used the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformations Divine Light to transform everything. He then used it to create an array that could transform all things, all laws and all paths, and transform everything into Yin-Yang source power.

For example, the dimensional realm, where every action is in harmony with heaven and earth, triggering the rules of heaven and earth, is like a world, transforming everything into the power of the world.

Because this swamp was so vast, even with the four of them working together, it took them a full 50,000 years to completely clean it up.

However, it became much easier to open up the river channel and restore the great river, which had been altered by the devastation of the war, to its normal course.

In less than ten thousand years, Yuan Yan and his companions opened up the river channel, repaired the water veins, and guided the waters of the marshland into the river basin, causing the marshland to recede, thus completing their mission.

Time flies, years pass, and thirty-six cycles have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, on a relatively small battlefield between the three races, a faint aura of bloodlust permeated the air, the earth's veins were riddled with cracks, the vegetation was withered, and the place was desolate.

"Boom!" Yuan Jie raised his hand and threw out the World Cauldron and the Innate Four Symbols Array Flag.

The World Cauldron floated in mid-air, its body radiating boundless world light. The Four Symbols Array Flags were arranged in the four directions, evolving from the Sun, Lesser Yin, Lesser Yang, and Greater Yin, forming a vast and boundless Four Symbols Refining Realm Array.

Practice makes perfect. In less than a century, the Yuan Realm refined the bloodlust, resentment, and corpses from the small-scale three-race battlefield, transforming them into pure world power.

-

Subsequently, Yuanjie skillfully purified the fragments of the earth veins that had been eroded by the blood and resentment, moved and connected them, and used the power of the world obtained from refining the blood and resentment and the corpses to repair the earth veins full of cracks and fissures.

With the last crack in the earth's veins repaired, this small battlefield of the three races was largely restored. Innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration surged forth, and the mountains and rivers regained their vitality. A golden light of merit descended from the sky and fell into the Yuan Realm's sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, deep within the sea of ​​consciousness of the primordial realm, the already mysterious and long-condensed golden wheel of merit quietly expanded further, the radiant glow of merit on the golden wheel became even thicker, and the aura of the Great Dao became even more stable.

Sensing the golden wheel of merit slowly turning deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, and experiencing his own increasingly profound cultivation realm, Yuan Jie's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of gratified smile appeared in his eyes.

Thirty-six cycles have passed. Throughout these long years, he, Yuanlun, Yuanling, and his true self Yuanyan have never had a moment's rest.

They first joined forces to clean up all the battlefields of the three races that had been fought by Great Luo Golden Immortals and needed to be cleared, and then repaired the ley lines that had been shattered by the great war. After that, they cleaned up the smaller battlefields of the three races that had not been fought by Great Luo Golden Immortals and also needed to be cleared.
