Chapter 416 The Primordial Chaos Returns to Ruins
After the paradox pulse spread throughout the entire primordial world, the primordial law fault deep within the foundation of the Ruins slowly healed.
The healing process is slow but extremely steady. The nest-shell pattern on the inner wall of the fault repairs itself layer by layer during the healing process. The repaired pattern is denser and brighter than before, so bright that it reflects the entire fault as a very faint dark gold.
Under the influence of the paradox pulse, the larval sensory network completed the final stage of evolution, recalibrating the state of all law nodes on the Guixu foundation. The calibration results were synchronously transmitted to the sensory array of the Eros monitoring station.
Eros stood on the white rock platform. The transparent law membrane around him was reinforced by the paradox pulse. After the reinforcement, the causal law patterns flowing inside the membrane were extremely stable and dense.
"All five key nodes of the Guixu foundation are stable."
"The paradoxical pulse reinforced the sealing membrane wall, the isolation zone vacuum, the backup law node seal, the law remnant at the bottom of the crevice, and the law node of the South Heavenly Gate city wall."
"After reinforcement, the four laws of the primordial world—the Ruins of Return, the Land of Ruins, the Southern Heavenly Gate, and the Mortal Realm—are all in sync."
"From this moment on, the foundation of the laws of the primordial world is no longer a single-layer law structure cleaved by Pangu with the axe of creation, but a symbiotic system in which the four directions support each other."
"The pressure of the laws within the system is distributed extremely evenly, and any fluctuation in the laws of any node will be automatically shared by the other three nodes."
"The Void has a bottom, and the Primordial Chaos will not sink; this saying has officially come into effect."
Sun Wukong squatted on the ramparts of the South Heavenly Gate, his golden cudgel resting on his knees, his monkey eyes reflecting the slowly receding dark golden light from the direction of Guixu.
After the paradox pulse finished spreading, the depths of the Ruins foundation were extremely quiet, completely different from the quiet after countless previous crises of the laws were resolved.
The previous silence was the silence after the battle. You could hear the extremely subtle friction sounds of the law patterns flowing freely deep within the white rock layer, the extremely low-frequency law pulses of the larvae's heartbeats in the larval nests, and the extremely faint law resonance between the flint beacon runes at the entrance to the Ruins and the core fragments of Mount Sumeru at the South Heavenly Gate.
The quiet we see now is not that kind of quiet.
The silence was so profound that even the friction sounds of the law patterns had ceased. The larvae's heartbeats were still pulsating, but suppressed to an extremely low level. The flint beacon runes at the entrance to the Ruins of Desolation were still glowing, but the frequency of the law's resonance was drowned out by some immense law silence.
This silence is not a vacuum of laws, nor is it a slumber of laws; rather, it is the unconscious release of the suppressive force of laws by some extremely ancient and enormous law entity while it is dormant.
The suppressive force was extremely low and heavy, so heavy that even Xu's heart network could barely sense a faint boundary of the law.
The boundary is not located in the Ruins, not in the Land of Ruins, not in the Void outside the Membrane Wall, and not in the direction of the Old Domain.
It is inside the bone and blood fragments next to the blade of Pangu's axe.
Fragments of bone and blood were placed on the stone platform in the weapons shop next to A Dou's small axe.
When the paradox pulse spread to the bluestone slab, the Pangu bone and blood law imprint inside the fragment flashed on its own. After the flash, the extremely faint dark gold light on the surface of the fragment began to pulsate at an extremely slow and steady rhythm. The frequency of the pulsation was completely synchronized with the frequency of the chaotic original color light on the blade of the Pangu axe.
A Dou squatted beside the stone platform, holding a small axe in his hand. The dark red law pattern on the axe blade had evolved another layer under the enhancement of the paradox pulse, and its hardness had exceeded the initial value of quenching by several times.
He flipped the small axe over and looked at the blade in the morning light. He discovered that in addition to the dark red law pattern, there was a new, extremely faint and fine pattern on the blade.
The color of the new pattern is extremely difficult to describe. It is not dark red, not dark gold, not the original color of chaos. It is a very faint and ancient gray-white law halo formed by the superposition of three colors. The law patterns flowing inside the halo are extremely unfamiliar and primitive, so unfamiliar that even the heart network of the Ruins cannot analyze its law structure.
"Uncle Su, there's a new mark on the axe."
"It wasn't something I created through tempering; it grew out of thin air when that law pulse spread across the bluestone slab."
"After the grain developed, the axe became lighter than before, so light that you could hardly feel its weight when chopping wood, but the force of the chop was greater than before."
"I just chopped a dead branch, but before the axe blade even touched it, the branch broke off by itself."
"It wasn't broken by the fluctuations of the laws; it was preemptively severed by the extremely thin and faint grayish-white halo in front of the axe blade."
"The halo is not part of the axe blade, but a pre-cutting motion of law that extends outward from the axe blade after it has evolved to its limit."
"The frequency of the pre-splitting law and the chaotic primordial light on the blade of the Pangu Axe have a very subtle overlap."
Su Fan was leaning against the door frame of the weapons shop eating a fried dough stick when he heard this, so he put the dough stick down.
He took the Pangu Axe off his waist and looked down at the faint, primordial chaotic light on the axe blade.
The frequency of the light's pulse was perfectly synchronized with the pulse frequency of the law imprints within the bone and blood fragments, and it also had a very slight overlap with the pulse frequency of the newly formed gray-white law halo on the blade of A Dou's little axe.
He placed the Pangu Axe on the stone platform, side by side with A Dou's small axe. The chaotic original light on the blade of the Pangu Axe and the gray-white law halo on the blade of the small axe resonated with each other for a very short time at extremely close range.
The resonance band is extremely narrow, so narrow that even the heart network of the Ruins can only barely detect a faint ripple of law. However, this ripple is automatically detected by the larval perception network when it spreads deep into the foundation of the Ruins.
After being captured, the dark red dot in the center of the larva's thorax twitched very slightly. After the twitching, the larva's sensory network transmitted the law data inside the ripple to the Ruins.
"The little axe has evolved a pre-chopping ability based on the law."
"The frequency of the pre-cleaving law is completely in sync with the original chaotic color of Pangu Axe, but it is younger and more active than the original chaotic color."
"The reason for its activity is that the will of all beings that A Dou infuses into the axe blade when he chops wood every day has undergone a very subtle change in law under the blessing of the paradox pulse. After the change, the law structure on the axe blade changes from passively receiving the will of all beings to actively releasing the law pre-chopping pulse."
"The frequency of the pre-splitting pulse is completely synchronized with the supporting force of the paradoxical law, and it is completely of the same origin as the paradoxical law inside the Guixu foundation fault."
"A Dou's little axe chopped firewood in the mortal world for several months. Every time the axe blade came into contact with the wood fibers of the dry branches, the internal structure of the axe blade would automatically adjust the chopping angle according to the direction of the wood fibers."
"After countless fine-tunings, the axe blade's structural laws have evolved to the point where it can predict the breakage point of the dry twig fibers."
"With the support of the paradoxical pulse, the ability to predict has leaped from the physical level to the level of laws—it is no longer about predicting the breaking point of the withered branches and fibers, but about predicting the weak points of the laws."
"The branch broke on its own before the axe blade even touched it. This was because the axe blade anticipated the weakest point of the branch's fibers and released a very weak pre-cleaving pulse. The pre-cleaving pulse cut the break point before the axe blade even touched the branch."
"The frequency of the pre-splitting pulse is the same as the original chaotic color of Pangu Axe, but the pre-splitting pulse itself is not the power of creation. It is the ability to predict the law that evolved on its own after the will of all living beings split countless withered branches in the mortal world."
"After its ability evolves to the level of laws, it can not only predict the break point of a withered branch, but also predict the weak points of the law structure."
"The weak points of the laws at five key nodes—the sealing membrane wall of the Guixu foundation, the fault healing, the frequency isolation layer, the backup law node, and the vacuum of the isolation zone—require several rounds of scanning by the larval perception network to be located. This little axe may only need to chop once."
Xu removed his right hand from his chest.
Su Fan looked down at the small axe on the stone platform, which was only the length of a palm. The gray-white aura of law on the axe blade was extremely faint and thin, and it resonated continuously with the chaotic original light on the blade of the Pangu Axe at a very close distance.
The frequency of the resonance is extremely stable and low, so low that even the steam from the youtiao stall's steamer is pushed straighter and more stable than usual by the extremely subtle ripples of the laws generated by the resonance.
He took the Pangu Axe from the stone platform and tucked it into his waistband, then returned the small axe to A Dou.
"This axe can now predict the weak points of the laws, so let it help the larval sensory network scan the five key nodes of the Ruins foundation."
"Although all nodes are stable after the paradox pulse reinforcement, the law patterns inside the reinforcement layer are new, and there may be extremely fine gaps between them and the law patterns of the old sealing membrane wall."
"The gap does not affect the seal strength, but there may be extremely weak residual mutant communication pulses inside the gap."
"The remnant is extremely weak. The larvae's sensory network scanned it several times but couldn't detect it because it was hidden deep in the gap between the old and new law patterns, covered by the law frequency of the reinforcement layer."
"The pre-chopping pulse of the small axe can predict the weak points of the law, and make it chop an axe directly above the sealing membrane wall. The pre-chopping pulse will directly lock the position of the docking seam."
A Dou tucked the small axe into his waistband and ran towards the edge of the Guixu Crack, stepping on the bluestone slabs.
The aftershock of the calamity at the alley entrance exploded into tiny white arcs of electricity beneath his feet, and the law patterns on the bluestone slabs shone brightly from the entrance of the weapons shop all the way to the entrance of the Ruins of Return.
Xu waited for him directly above the sealing membrane deep within the foundation of Guixu, and drew an extremely thin line of law trajectory on the surface of the white rock layer with his finger.
The trajectory line is located precisely at the interface between the paradox pulse reinforcement layer and the law pattern of the old seal membrane wall.
A Dou raised the small axe above his head, and the gray-white aura of law on the axe blade shone brightly in the extremely faint golden light of law on the Guixu foundation.
He aimed the axe blade at the center of the trajectory line and chopped down.
Before the axe blade even touched the surface of the white rock layer, the extremely thin and faint gray-white aura of law in front of the axe blade had already cut into the depths of the white rock layer, penetrated the reinforced layer, penetrated the law patterns of the old seal membrane wall, and precisely struck the extremely tiny weak point of law in the center of the joint.
The weak point contains extremely weak residual communication pulses from the mutant. The residual pulses are activated the moment they come into contact with the pre-chopping pulse. After activation, the pulses spread in all directions along the docking seam. When they reach the edge of the sealing membrane, they are neutralized by the reverse frequency of the pre-chopping pulse. After neutralization, the pulses dissipate on their own.
The last trace of mutant communication pulses inside the sealing membrane was completely removed.
Su Fan leaned against the edge of the Guixu rift, watched as A Dou finished chopping with his axe, then hoisted the Pangu Axe onto his shoulder and turned to walk towards the fried dough stick stall.
The foundation of the laws of the primordial world is so stable that it cannot be more stable. The void has a bottom, and the primordial world will not sink.
The steam from the youtiao stall's steamer rose straight and steadily in the morning light. Old Zhang had just scooped the youtiao out of the oil pan and placed them on oil paper to drain the oil, and now his apron had a few more fresh oil stains on it.
The aftershocks of the calamity at the alley entrance still danced with faint white arcs of electricity on the bluestone slab. After A Dou finished cleaving the sealing membrane, he ran back to the weapon shop, placed the small axe on the stone platform, picked up the bone and blood fragments, and continued to perform a new round of law resonance calibration before quenching.
Everything was quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem like a battle had just ended, but rather like there had never been a battle at all.
But Su Fan knew that this quiet was not a sign of peace and tranquility; it was the effect of the law's silence that occurred after the Pangu Paradox had solidified the foundation of the laws of the primordial world to an extremely stable state.
The silence effect will last for a very long time. During this period, the paradoxical law support force inside the original law fault deep in the foundation of Guixu will continue to release extremely weak law pulses. The pulses will be transmitted layer by layer along the interlocking nodes of the four-method law system, keeping the law structure of all key nodes in the most stable state.
Once it reaches its peak stability, the outer membrane of the primordial world will automatically enter a semi-transparent state. In this semi-transparent state, the membrane's sensitivity to the law fluctuations deep within the void will increase several times.
The extremely faint signals of laws that were previously imperceptible can now be perceived.
Three days later, at dusk, the golden light of Mars spread steadily across the Nantianmen city wall.
Yang Jian pieced the two broken pieces of the mirror together, and a very faint signal of law suddenly appeared on the surface of the mirror.
The signal was located in the deepest part of the void, far exceeding the limits of any previous detection.
The signal frequency was extremely low and ancient, so ancient that it had a very slight overlap with the chaotic primordial light on the blade of Pangu's axe and the gray-white law halo on the blade of A Dou's little axe.
Yang Jian turned the shattered mirror toward Su Fan.
"After the membrane wall's sensing sensitivity doubled, it captured a law signal from the deepest part of the void."
"The laws governing signals are extremely ancient, older than the core of the Nest Shell in the Ruins of Desolation, and even older than the origin of the laws of the Old Domain."
"It is not a living thing, not a mutant, not an extraterrestrial god, and not any contingency plan left by Pangu."
"The structure of the signal's laws and the essence of the paradox within the Guixu foundation fault are completely of the same origin—the force that splits chaos is itself a part of chaos."
"But the frequency of this signal's laws is more primitive and fundamental than that of paradox. It may not be a kind of paradox, but rather an echo of paradox."
"When Pangu cleaved out the first isolation zone with his axe, a paradox arose the moment the blade of the axe came into contact with the fragments of the mixed laws of nothingness and chaos. He discovered the paradox, separated it from the axe blade, and sealed it into the depths of the void."
"As the paradox was stripped away, the resonance between the blade of the Heaven-Opening Axe and the fragments of the mixed laws of the Void Chaos produced an extremely faint echo of laws in the deepest part of the void."
"The echo lingered for countless epochs in the depths of the void, never being detected by any detector."
"The membrane wall's sensing sensitivity has increased several times over, and echoes have been captured."
"The content of the echo is exactly the same as the paradox, but the tone is not Pangu's; it is the axe that created the world."
"At the moment the paradox occurred, the Heaven-Opening Axe briefly possessed its own consciousness of laws. Before Pangu stripped it of the paradox, it used its last bit of instinctual laws to shout a sentence into the deepest part of the void. After shouting, its consciousness dissipated."
"That sentence has been reflected countless times by the law sedimentation layer deep in the void, and it has only now reached the outside of the membrane wall."
"The echo contained not four words, but six words—'Though my blade is broken, my heart remains.'"
The depths of the Guixu foundation were extremely dark and quiet.
The golden light of Mars shone through the law membrane of the Ruins of Return onto the white rock layer, making the faint golden light of the law on the face of Ruins flicker.
A Dou was squatting at the entrance of the weapons shop, chopping the day's worth of dry branches with a small axe. Fragments of bone and blood clung to the edge of the quenching trough, gleaming faintly.
Steam rose from the steamer basket of the fried dough stick stall in the morning light.
Su Fan hoisted the Pangu Axe onto his shoulder and flew towards the Guixu Crack.
The echo of the Heaven-Opening Axe reached us. It wasn't a crisis of laws, nor an invasion by foreign enemies; it was Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe finally speaking its mind after countless eons.
The primordial world was extremely stable; the echo of the Heaven-Opening Axe was faint, but it still reached us.
The echo of the Heaven-Opening Axe slowly spread through the void outside the membrane wall. The spread was not fast, but extremely stable.
The laws and frequencies within an echo are entirely of the same origin as paradoxes, but it is not a paradox.
Paradox is a fragment of law that Pangu peeled off from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Axe, and Echo is the last word that the Heaven-Opening Axe shouted out with its last bit of law instinct at the moment the paradox was generated.
The relationship between the two is not one of primary and secondary, nor one of cause and effect; rather, they are two different laws and consciousnesses that arise simultaneously on the same axe blade at the same instant.
The paradox was sealed by Pangu into the depths of Guixu, and its echo was reflected by the law sedimentation layer deep in the void for countless eons, only now reaching the outside of the membrane wall.
Yang Jian pieced the two broken pieces of the mirror together, and the extremely faint signal of the law on the mirror surface began to attenuate layer by layer as the echo spread.
The decay was slow but continuous, and by the time it reached the last layer, the six characters sealed inside the echo were completely clear.
He turned the shattered mirror toward Su Fan.
"The echo decays, and when it reaches the last layer, the signal strength drops to an extremely low level, but the regular frequencies become clearer."
"So clear that you can hear the tone in which Kaitianfu said those words—not tragic, not resolute, not regretful."
"It was a very calm statement."
"The power that splits chaos is itself a part of chaos; it had already figured this out before Pangu stripped away the paradox."
After figuring it out, there was no struggle or resistance. He simply said calmly, "Though my blade is broken, my heart remains." After saying that, his consciousness dissipated.
"After consciousness dissipated, the fragments of the Pangu Axe blade scattered throughout the chaos. Pangu collected them and reforged them into nine new axe blade fragments. These nine fragments were later scattered by Pangu again, and you found them one by one, piecing them together to form the Pangu Axe we know today."
"Each fragment of the Pangu Axe blade possesses the power to create the world, but the original consciousness of the Pangu Axe has long since dissipated."
"The echo has reached this point, which is equivalent to the axe of creation telling you in person after countless eons—although its consciousness has dissipated, it has no resentment towards Pangu."
"It knows that the Pangu separation paradox is not meant to weaken it, but to ensure the stable operation of the chaotic law cycle."
"It knows that the paradox was sealed in the depths of Guixu so that later generations could finish all the battles, lay down all the seals, and put all the backup plans back in place. Then the paradox would evolve and the entire system of the four laws of the primordial world would be fully integrated."
Xu placed his right hand on his chest, and as the echo decayed to the last layer, he detected the most subtle ripples of the law.
The ripples do not contain the content of the echo, but rather extremely faint fragments of laws absorbed along the way by the echo as it reflected countless times in the depths of the void.
The fragments are extremely ancient and primitive, so ancient that they have a very slight overlap with the core of the nest shell in the Ruins of the Land.
"The echo reflected countless times in the depths of the void, absorbing a large number of extremely faint fragments of laws along the way."
"The laws and structures within the fragments are of the same origin as the core of the nest shell—the remnants of the nest shell's laws that were splashed out when Pangu shattered the fragments of the void."
"The residue drifted through the depths of the void for countless eons, and was absorbed and fused by the echo along the way. After fusion, the residual shell law within the residue was purified by the echo's own chaotic law frequency, and after purification, it became extremely pure law energy."
"These laws and energies are sealed at the deepest level of the echo, and together with the echo, they are transmitted to the outer side of the membrane."
"If these laws of energy are extracted and infused into the bone and blood fragments, the Pangu bone and blood law imprints inside the fragments will be reactivated."
"After activation, the fragment will release an extremely weak pulse of the Pangu Bone and Blood Law. The frequency of the pulse is completely synchronized with the paradoxical law supporting the fault in the Guixu foundation."
"The pulse propagates along the interlocking nodes of the four-law system, filling all the gaps between the laws within the system."
"After it is filled, the foundation of the laws of the primordial world will no longer be a symbiotic structure in which the four sides interlock, but a single law entity in which the four sides are completely integrated."
Xu opened his eyes.
Su Fan slung the Pangu Axe over his shoulder and walked to the entrance of the weapons shop.
A Dou was squatting next to the stone platform, using fragments of bone and blood to calibrate the quenching precision of his small axe.
The Pangu Bone and Blood Law imprint inside the bone and blood fragments was extremely stable and bright under the enhancement of the paradox pulse, but the extremely weak law energy mentioned by the Ruins had not yet been extracted.
Extracting the energy of the laws requires a law perception that is completely in sync with the echo—in the existing law perception system of the primordial world, only the newly formed gray-white law halo on the blade of the small axe can cover the law frequency of the echo.
The gray-white law halo is a law pre-chopping ability that A Dou developed on his own after chopping firewood for several months. The frequency of the pre-chopping pulse is completely in sync with the law frequency of the Heaven-Opening Axe echo.
A Dou picked up the small axe from the stone platform. The gray-white aura of law on the axe blade was extremely faint and thin in the morning light.
He ran to the edge of the Guixu crack, where the Xu was already waiting for him inside the membrane.
In its semi-transparent state, the membrane wall's sensitivity to the law fluctuations deep within the void increased several times over, and the last layer of law reverberation from the echo was still slowly spreading outwards from the membrane wall.
A Dou raised the small axe above his head, aiming the blade at the direction of echo attenuation on the outer side of the membrane. The gray-white halo of law extended in front of the axe blade into an extremely fine and bright law pre-cutting pulse. The pulse penetrated the membrane and hit the very center of the last layer of law afterglow in the echo.
The extremely pure law energy sealed within the afterglow was activated the moment it came into contact with the pre-splitting pulse. After activation, it was conducted along the law trajectory of the pre-splitting pulse to the inner side of the membrane wall. When it was conducted to the blade of A Dou's small axe, it was automatically absorbed by the gray-white law halo.
After absorbing the energy, the dark red law patterns on the blade of the small axe flickered very subtly, and after the flicker, the law structure inside the patterns adjusted itself slightly.
A Dou flipped the small axe over, and the dark red law patterns on the axe blade had turned into a very faint dark gold, completely identical in color to the Pangu bone and blood law imprint inside the bone and blood fragment.
"The energy of the laws was absorbed by the small axe, but the small axe is not the Pangu Axe; it cannot directly release the Pangu bone and blood law pulse. The energy of the laws needs to be transmitted from the small axe into the bone and blood fragments."
Xu removed his right hand from his chest.
A Dou ran back to the weapon shop and placed the small axe on the stone platform, alongside the bone and blood fragments.
The dark gold law patterns on the axe blade and the Pangu bone and blood law imprint inside the fragment resonated briefly at a very close distance. After the resonance, the extremely faint dark gold light on the surface of the fragment began to pulsate at an extremely slow and steady rhythm, and the pulsation frequency was completely synchronized with the pulsation frequency of the chaotic original color light on the Pangu axe blade.
After jumping a few times, a very weak pulse of law surged out from inside the fragment, and the pulse spread in all directions along the law patterns of the white rock layer of the Guixu foundation.
When it diffuses into the sealing membrane wall, it fills all the gaps between the old and new law patterns inside the membrane wall. When it diffuses into the vacuum of the isolation zone, it purifies the law environment inside the vacuum for the last time.
When it diffuses to the backup law node, it completely absorbs and transforms the last strand of the original law liquid crystals remaining at the node. When it diffuses to the bottom of the crevice, it completely seals the remaining law essence of Pangu's last words.
When it spreads to the South Heavenly Gate city wall, it reinforces the law nodes around the core fragment of Mount Sumeru one last time. When it spreads to the entrance of the Ruins, it pushes the law anchoring precision of the Flint Beacon Rune to the limit.
When the energy spread to the bluestone slabs in front of the fried dough stick stall, it calibrated the frequency of the aftershocks of the great calamity at the alley entrance to be completely synchronized with the supporting force of the paradoxical law.
After the pulse had completely dissipated, the depths of the Guixu foundation were extremely quiet.
This is not the kind of silence suppressed by the laws of nature that we had before; this is true silence.
It was so quiet that you could hear the extremely faint friction sounds as the patterns of law flowed freely deep within the white rock layer.
One can hear the extremely low-frequency law pulse of the larvae's heartbeat in the larval nest, and the extremely faint law resonance between the flint beacon rune at the entrance to the Ruins and the core fragment of Mount Sumeru at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
You can hear the crackling sound of coal burning in the stove of the fried dough stick stall, and you can hear the extremely subtle cracking sound of the axe blade cutting through the dry branches when A Dou chops firewood.
All the sounds returned, but were softer, more steady, and clearer than before.
Under the blessing of the final law pulse released by the bone and blood fragments, the Primordial Four Laws System upgraded from a symbiotic structure in which the four sides interlocked to a single law entity in which the four sides were completely integrated.
There are no gaps between laws, no weak points, and no frequency deviations within the law body.
The phrase "The Void has a bottom, the Primordial Chaos will not sink" is no longer part of the Law Confirmation Pulse, but rather the Law attribute of the Primordial Law Body itself.
It requires no external force to maintain it, no backup plan to cover it, and no paradox to support it.
It is its own foundation.
Sun Wukong squatted on the top of the South Heavenly Gate, with his golden cudgel resting on his knees.
The monkey's eyes reflected the primordial law fault line in the direction of Guixu, which had been completely healed. After the fault line healed, the last nest shell law pattern on the inner wall of the fault line automatically converged into the depths of the white rock layer under the blessing of the bone and blood fragment pulses, and completely merged with the law pattern of the white rock layer.
He stuffed the last bite of peach into his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and threw the peach pit into the Guixu Crack.
The peach pit bounced twice at the edge of the crack and rolled into the depths of the Ruins of Return, where it was caught by the pale gold moss that had grown on the white rock layer of the foundation. The flowing patterns of laws on the surface of the moss wrapped around the peach pit and then dispersed on their own.
He slung the golden cudgel over his shoulder, stood up, and somersaulted towards Flower Fruit Mountain. His golden armor drew an arc of light in the air before disappearing into the sky above the East China Sea in an instant.
The golden light of Mars spread steadily across the South Heavenly Gate city wall, and the white steam from the youtiao stall's steamer rose in the morning light. After Adou finished chopping his share of dry branches for the day, he carried the firewood to the stove, and Old Zhang took a freshly fried youtiao from the cutting board and stuffed it into his hand.
The primordial world was very stable. The echo of the Heaven-Opening Axe reached us, and the fragments of Pangu's bones and blood poured the last wisp of law energy into the foundation of the primordial world's laws.
The Ruins have a bottom, and the primordial chaos will not sink.
There's no need to guard it anymore.
