The originally dim sky was completely shrouded by tribulation clouds and gloomy green Death Qi.

Fierce winds howled, lightning rolled wildly within the clouds, and even the Heavenly Dao trembled at this impending, out-of-spec battle.

"Roar——!!"

Outside the pyramid, the gigantic Sphinx sensed its master's killing intent, its eyes erupting with scarlet blood light, letting out a heaven-shaking roar.

Its giant claws plowed deep ravines into the black stone ground, preparing to pounce on the madman who dared to provoke the gods.

Inside the main hall, lightning and the Underworld river were at a stalemate.

In Zhou Huai's hand, the abyssal blood dragon spear condensed from the High-Dimensional Law had already emerged, its tip pointing straight at Anubis on the throne.

And in Anubis's hand, he also gripped the scepter of death exuding an aura of death.

Tensions were at a breaking point!

Only a tiny catalyst was needed, and a destructive battle sufficient to destroy the entire Ancient Egyptian Ruins would erupt.

However, just at the critical moment when the mana values within the two bodies were running wildly and about to unleash a fatal blow!

"Hum—"

A faint yet extremely unique Law fluctuation abruptly emanated from the pile of withered wood chips beneath Zhou Huai's feet.

The two sensed the unusual fluctuation almost simultaneously. With extreme tacit understanding, they stopped their actions, slightly restrained their heaven-destroying auras, and cast their gazes toward the ground in unison.

That pile of wood chips and withered statue that had originally completely lost vitality and turned into dead objects unexpectedly lit up with an extremely dazzling emerald-green light at this moment!

This light was faint, but its essence was astonishingly unique; it was precisely the most core of the First World — the Origin Law of Life!

"How is this possible?!"

Anubis turned pale with shock, the Underworld river phantom on the scepter of death experiencing violent fluctuations due to its master's shock, "Duan's devouring could not possibly have errors, her Origin clearly already…"

Under his gaze, an incredible scene occurred.

The greenness, like a clear spring suddenly gushing out in the desert, flooded the entire body of the statue.

The withered wood became nourished once more, and the grayish color was replaced by a crystal-clear green.

Countless fine vines grew out from the wood chips, rapidly entangling and reorganizing.

In just a few short seconds, this wooden carving that originally had not the slightest bit of vitality actually came to life!

The green light dispersed.

It transformed into Chun's graceful and moving true appearance.

She was no longer that puppet-like Clone from just now, but a physical entity possessing real flesh and blood, exuding a rich aura of life!

"Cough, cough…"

Chun, who had just revived, coughed twice, her figure swaying as she nearly fell to the ground.

She hurriedly used her hand to brace the nearby crack-filled low table, forcing her weak body to barely steady herself.

At this moment, her complexion was still as pale as paper, her forehead covered in fine cold sweat, having just experienced an unimaginable catastrophe of life and death.

However, even though her Physical Body and aura were weakened to the extreme, at this moment Chun's Clone—no, it should now be said her new main body—revealed a cheerful smile.

She raised her head, her emerald-green eyes regaining vitality, looking at Anubis who was still in extreme shock, and Zhou Huai who had put away the abyssal blood dragon spear.

She panted and smiled slightly.

"Everyone, I have succeeded."

Meanwhile, Great Xia Country, Simon City Underground Ruins.

Amidst the charred ruins, Mr. Duan loosened his grip on the withered and emaciated husk in his arms.

He stood up, wiping away the tear at the corner of his eye that had not yet dried.

He stared at the teardrop on his palm, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.

"Humans truly are a pathetic species…"

Mr. Duan lowered his head, staring at his palm, his voice low, "Even after shattering the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, even after possessing power that transcends dimensions, one still cannot escape these most troublesome seven emotions and six desires. Sadness, attachment, reluctance… These useless emotions will only become stumbling blocks on the path to transcendence."

With that, his gaze turned cold, his fingers exerted a slight force, and he waved his hand casually.

With a soft click of "pa", that crystal-clear teardrop was vaporized in mid-air by the black annihilation Law, leaving not even water vapor behind.

"The baggage of the old era should be completely left in the old era."

Mr. Duan readjusted the black top hat on his head, his eyes once again recovering absolute rationality and ruthlessness.

He swept his gaze over Chun's remains on the ground, his voice flat, "Next, it's time to find that variable named Zhou Huai. Since he attempts to represent the Heavenly Dao, I will completely trample his pride to pieces."

Saying this, he gripped the silver cane in his hand tightly, just about to take a step.

However, just as he lifted his right leg, a sudden change occurred!

"Hum—"

Mr. Duan's figure paused, his entire person freezing in place.

"What's going on?"

His brow furrowed, and the blood Qi inside his body surged.

He lowered his head, staring at his right hand holding the cane.

Beneath that fair skin, a gloomy green light lit up without warning!

This green light followed his blood vessels and meridians, spreading frantically toward his entire body.

In less than a second, dense, spiderweb-like green veins had already emerged on the back of his hand!

"This is… the power of the water of origin?!"

Mr. Duan took half a step back, his breathing stagnating.

"Rumble!"

He mobilized the torrential High-Dimensional Law within his body, using the black devouring power to forcibly suppress this rampaging green energy inside him.

Violent Law fluctuations vibrated out from within his body, and the surrounding charred earth could not withstand this might, beginning to collapse on a large scale.

However, it was to no avail!

Not only were those green energies not annihilated, but stimulated by the black Law, they began a much more frantic proliferation!

"Dammit!"

Mr. Duan let out a muffled groan, countless invisible green spore strains growing wantonly within his internal organs.

They transformed into extremely tough miniature vines, forcibly sealing his spleen, liver, and lungs. Even the heart beating with the High-Dimensional Origin was wrapped by layers upon layers of dense green plants at this moment, attempting to completely strangle his vitality!

Severe pain swept over his nerves, and he gasped heavily.

"Truly troublesome…"

Mr. Duan simply gave up on walking.

He directly sat cross-legged on the charred ruins, laid the silver cane horizontally across his knees, formed hand seals with both hands, closed his eyes, mobilized all his mental focus, and engaged in a life-or-death tug-of-war with that rampaging power of the water of origin inside his body.

"I didn't expect that in the end, I was still played by you."

He muttered to himself, his tone gloomy.

At this very moment, deep within his mind, a silvery bell-like laughter suddenly came echoing.

"Giggle, giggle…"

That laughter was crisp and ethereal, yet carried endless mockery—it was precisely Chun's voice!

"Duan, you are too arrogant."
