"Earth, living beings, Heart of the World..."
"Three elements for reshaping the world."
Bai's voice was calm and unhurried—these principles were likely never to be used by Wen Yu, yet in this moment, Bai just wanted someone to talk to, to share his thoughts...
After countless years of waiting and two lifetimes of enduring, Bai had finally reached this last step. He carried the hopes and expectations of his old friends, and while Wen Yu didn't fully understand, he knew that Bai was under significant pressure.
As a listener, Wen Yu was very qualified; he remained silent, merely watching as Bai spoke and prepared for the task of reshaping the world.
"Both earth and living beings are straightforward to resolve, but the origin power, or rather the Heart of the World, is the most challenging aspect of reshaping the world. The origin power of a world is not fixed from birth to extinction. Just like humans, we go through stages: birth, childhood, youth, maturity, and old age. This is a law that cannot be altered by any will, and even a world cannot escape this pattern."
After saying this, he picked up the small gourd in his hand and gave it a gentle shake. With Bai's movement, the origin power liquid inside the gourd swayed slightly, radiating rings of light.
"This rudimentary version of the Heart of the World, if placed within the stages of human growth, is roughly equivalent to the level of a fertilized egg. It is very fragile; although its potential for the future is limitless, that is still the future."
At this point, the scroll Bai had just unfurled had already come into full effect.
The light within the scroll continuously poured out, and in a short time, it generated a massive circular defensive barrier. This barrier was strikingly similar to the energy shield Bai had just used for protection, except it was much larger.
As the defensive barrier expanded, the surrounding origin power was completely repelled, and Wen Yu, who was within the barrier, immediately felt his breathing ease significantly.
"And now, this Heart of the World requires a bit of assistance..."
After Bai spoke these words, he again took out a scroll from the Spatial Ring. As the scroll unfurled, Wen Yu felt a surge of spatial power erupting from it—within the origin pool, the surrounding origin power was sufficient to quell any exotic energy fluctuations. However, Bai had just expelled the surrounding origin power, so at this moment, the scroll successfully activated.
It released something massive that had been sealed within.
It was a strange entity, resembling a palace yet not a palace, akin to an airship yet not an airship, measuring several hundred meters in length, width, and height, with an ancient style reminiscent of the buildings in the Xianxia world. This entity was entirely purple-red, and once released, it floated in mid-air, emanating a powerful pressure and heaviness, even giving Wen Yu a sense of invincibility.
"This is a replica of the eternal divine palace. I guess you won't be able to summon the eternal divine palace here, will you?"
Hearing Bai's question, Wen Yu shook his head.
After entering the Demon Realm, the eternal divine palace had lost its connection. Although the eternal divine palace consumed numerous resources from the Xianxia world, the finished product was practically useless—it was a failure.
The so-called eternal divine palace was equivalent to a super cosmic battleship, but it could not penetrate the world's barriers. This also meant that the so-called cosmic battleship had to drop the term "cosmic"—as a mere battleship, could it possibly rival something like the Eternal Sky City?
It was impossible...
Its strategic value had been greatly diminished, and given that each activation of the eternal divine palace required enormous resources, once Wen Yu obtained it, he discarded it into the void, believing it would not be needed in the foreseeable future.
"The newly born Heart of the World is extremely fragile; it could be destroyed by meteorites, cosmic radiation, and other strange phenomena. Therefore, it is necessary to cover it with a sturdy shell. Originally, the immortal emperor had planned for the eternal divine palace to be an excellent choice; however, due to issues with its material, it cannot be housed within certain space-type tools and cannot pass through the Rift Device to traverse to the Demon Realm. It can only remain in a fixed world, acting as a mascot, so the immortal emperor found a solution."
