"Creation." The moment the ancient sword energy struck down, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes turned gray, and a power that seemed capable of creating heaven and earth swept out, instantly annihilating the surrounding spatial storm and creating a vacuum area.

The moment Gu Yu's blade energy touched the vacuum area, it was instantly annihilated, and Gu Yu was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor, Gu Yu immediately wanted to flee, as he had not expected the Heavenly Emperor to be so powerful.

Just as he was about to escape, the eleven Creation Veins instantly surrounded him, and the immense binding force made it impossible for him to move an inch. He could no longer suppress the twelfth Creation Vein on his body, and it flew out instantly.

The twelve primordial veins were now surrounding him, and suddenly a force swept over his entire body.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor's expression changed, because he discovered that the twelve primordial veins had broken free from his control.

This terrified it, and it cried out, "Come back! Come back to me!"

Buzzing...

At this moment, Gu Yu felt his body gradually losing control; his divine and demonic power, and his source cone, were all out of his control.

"Don't resist me, help me to be born perfectly." A voice rang in Gu Yu's ears.

"You are the embryo?" Gu Yu asked in shock. He had planned everything, but he never expected that the embryo would come to him on its own without him having to look for it.

At this moment, she understood why the Heavenly Emperor was able to kill those Ancestral Realm beings. The Creation Vein was originally an embryonic entity, and it controlled the Creation Vein, using the Heavenly Emperor's hand to gather the Creation Vein together.

"That's right, I am the embryo, and in a sense, you are a part of me," the voice replied. "My perfect birth is also your perfect birth."

"I don't need it." Gu Yu struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of the Creation Vein, and even his control over his body was gradually disappearing.

"Back then, if it weren't for Gan, I could have been born long ago. That damned traitor, didn't he realize that if it weren't for my permission, would you have appeared? It was only because of your appearance that he took such a desperate gamble, giving me this opportunity," the embryo said calmly.

"He thought he had created something that could prevent my birth, but little did he know that everything was actually under my control."

"You don't need to resist anymore. Your bloodline and your power all originate from me. You are a part of me, so how can you resist me?" the embryo said. "Go, gather the fragments of the Source Heart, open the Gate of Gods and Demons, and destroy all living beings in this world. Then I can be born perfectly. Go!"

In an instant, Gu Yu felt his control over his body vanish.

"You say I am a part of you, you are wrong." At this moment, Gu Yu suddenly made a major decision. The embryo was right. His divine and demonic bloodline originated from the embryo and belonged to the embryo. Therefore, he could not resist the embryo's control at all. But what if he destroyed all of this?

If the embryo destroys its own divine and demonic bloodline and its own source cone, then it will lose control of itself.

"What are you going to do?" Sensing the self-destructive power erupting from Gu Yu's breakthrough, the originally calm embryo suddenly became somewhat anxious.

Sensing the changes in the embryo, Gu Yu became even more certain that his idea was correct; this was indeed a way to break free from the embryo's control.

boom……………

The first thing to explode was the Source Cone, which caused Gu Yu to cough up blood. Next, the divine and demonic bloodline in Gu Yu's bone marrow exploded.

boom……………

Another explosion rang out, and Gu Yu was instantly reduced to a bloody mess.

"Hmph! You think this will stop me?" The embryo regained its composure. The next second, twelve Creation Veins instantly appeared around the Heavenly Emperor, much to his delight. Then, two fragments of the Origin Core flew out from Gu Yu's body, and the six fragments quickly fused together, flashing with dazzling light. Upon closer inspection, it had become a round bead, but with a chip in it. At this moment, Gu Yu was extremely weak, like a cripple.

The Heavenly Emperor, who was initially overjoyed, suddenly felt his body sink, which caused his expression to change drastically.

"My body? How could this be? What happened? Ah..."

The next second, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes turned gray. Gu Yu understood that the Heavenly Emperor was now under the control of the embryo.

"Gu Yu, do you think I don't know where the last fragment of the Source Heart is?" the embryo said, looking at Gu Yu.

"Hmm?" Gu Yu frowned, but he was extremely weak at the moment.

"You can just wait here to die!" the embryo said, and then vanished in an instant.

Watching the departing embryo, Gu Yu's chest heaved. Had he failed just like that?

At this moment, the embryo suddenly appeared in Mo City. She unleashed a palm strike, instantly annihilating the invincible Qiankun God-Slaying Array that had been protecting Mo City.

The people of Mocheng wanted to retaliate, but suddenly felt as if everything around them had been frozen in place.

The embryo came to Qi Pingping's side, and with a wave of its hand, the Qilin totem appeared in her hand.

It vanished instantly, and when it reappeared, four totems appeared in its hands.

Five totems unfolded instantly: the Qilin, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise flew out from the totems and quickly merged into one. The next second, a fragment of the Origin Core appeared.

“Fu Xing, hehe… such a deep scheme. If he hadn’t thrown the totem into the spatial rift, I wouldn’t have discovered this last fragment of the source core,” the embryo murmured.

Buzz...

The embryo threw the last fragment of the Source Heart towards the Source Heart. As the last fragment of the Source Heart returned to its place, an overwhelming power erupted from the Source Heart.

boom………

In an instant, all the source gates trembled, and terrifying power emanated from the source core.

The next second, a huge black hole appeared in the sky, and in an instant, a hundred black figures flew out of the black hole. They were all gods and demons, each of them possessing the cultivation of the Ancestral Realm.

They immediately flew towards the 104 worlds, their bodies instantly merging into the Source Gate.

The source gate suddenly began to expand infinitely in an instant, merging with the Earth. The earth-shattering changes made countless people tremble with fear.

At this moment, a young girl slowly appeared. With a wave of her hand, twelve primordial veins came to her side and quickly merged into her body, while countless worlds began to provide her with energy.

As for the Heavenly Emperor, he had naturally turned into a corpse and fell to the ground.

Boom boom boom...

At this moment, the sun no longer exists, replaced by endless darkness; space is merging and shattering, and life is constantly disappearing.

The vitality and strength of countless races' bodies are constantly being lost.

At that moment, three gods and demons appeared beside the girl. They looked at her, exchanged glances, and then attacked her.

"You three traitors, you think you can get in my way?" The girl's gaze turned cold, and a terrifying power swept out, sending the three gods and demons flying backward, leaving them listless.

“We can no longer stop it,” Kun said, watching the scene unfold.

"I'm going to die either way, so even if I become her nourishment, I won't let her absorb it so easily," Huang said coldly.

The next second, it burst into flames and began to burn its own power.

Looking at the burning wasteland, Hong and Kun exchanged a glance and also ignited their own raging flames, intending to burn away their own power to prevent the embryo from absorbing it.

“You lot are no match for those humans.” The embryo looked at them disdainfully. “Energy is conserved. The power you burn will be transformed into other forms of energy. As long as you don’t leave this world, it will eventually return to me.”

boom…………

At this point, the world was close to being flat, but the Earth was the center of everything.

Countless lives, through the absorption of the embryo, aged and matured, gradually turning into withered bones and disappearing, while the world was also merging and collapsing.

Just then, everything around seemed to freeze, which caused the embryo's expression to suddenly change, and her pupils widened into ovals.

A figure appeared in front of her. This person was completely lifeless, like a cripple or a dead person.

"So you are the embryo?" The figure was equally shocked upon seeing the embryo.

"This is impossible. How... how could you become so strong? Shouldn't you have died in the spatial storm?" The embryo stared at the figure in disbelief. The figure was none other than Gu Yu.

“Yes! I originally thought I would die in the spatial rift, but unexpectedly, I reached a strange realm by some twist of fate.” Gu Yu said, looking at the embryo.

"This is impossible, this is impossible!" The embryo still looked incredulous. "This world exists because of me. Everything in the world is destined for its own existence from the moment it is born. It is impossible for them to surpass the Creator?"

“You’re right, the height of a fountain depends on its source, but I’m different because my height is the same as yours,” Gu Yu said calmly. He possessed the bloodline of an embryo, which gave him a creator-like status.

"Ah! How could this happen? How could this happen?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the embryo went into a frenzy.

“In the end, you couldn’t defeat Gan. Maybe he knew from the beginning that the embryo was you.” Gu Yu said, looking at the girl in front of him. She was none other than Xi Ya.

Although Gu Yu had never met Gan, why would he raise Xi Ya as his daughter? After all, Xi Ya's initial identity was just a weak and ordinary Star Clan member. The only explanation is that Gan knew the embryo had transformed into human form and that she was Xi Ya.

"How could he know? That's impossible," Xi Ya said incredulously upon hearing Gu Yu's words.

“Your biggest mistake was giving them intelligence when you created them, allowing them to think. Once they can think and know their mission, how could they willingly die?” Gu Yu said, looking at Xi Ya.

“That’s right, you’re right. I shouldn’t have let them have intelligence.” Xi Ya said with some resentment.

"Gan has been trying to stop you. He tried everything, even deliberately letting someone take away the Creation Vein. But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop you. He could only slow down your birth. He wanted to create a god-demon that could cultivate, but that was a pipe dream. Then he met you. At that time, you were just an embryo. He extracted a part of the god-demon bloodline from you. Of course, maybe you agreed to it!"

“That’s right, he can’t hurt me. He can’t extract it no matter what, as long as I don’t want to,” Xi Ya said.

"He began to cultivate that trace of divine and demonic bloodline, even incorporating his own divine and demonic essence into it, but he still could not succeed. He kept searching for a body, but each time ended in failure, until you took human form. Of course, you can control your own bloodline. So it was not that I chose my ancestor, but that you chose my ancestor, allowing my ancestors to adapt to the divine and demonic bloodline generation after generation, until I, just right, perfectly adapted to the divine and demonic bloodline."

“That’s right.” Xi Ya nodded. “Isn’t he trying to create something that can deal with me? Then I’ll play along and lend him a hand.”

"Have you ever considered that he might also be playing along?" Gu Yu asked Xi Ya.

"If he really did know I was an embryo all along, maybe so! But I just can't understand how you could possibly become the Thirteenth Cone?"

"It's very simple. This world was created by the creator god and demon, which is your previous life. It is your previous life's body. Observe this world carefully. There are twelve veins of creation and one hundred and eight source gates, but there are one hundred and nine worlds." Gu Yu said calmly.

"Hmm?" Xi Ya frowned.

“It seems you didn’t inherit your past life’s memories. There is no such thing as the Thirteen Cones. The so-called Thirteen Cones are actually the 109th Blood Aperture,” Gu Yu said.

"Impossible, how could there be a hundred and ninth blood aperture?" Xi Ya's pupils widened into ovals.

"Then let me tell you, the purpose of cultivating the Source Cone is to lay the foundation for the 109th Blood Aperture. When the Source Cone reaches the 12th Cone, it is necessary to shatter the Source Cone and condense the 109th Blood Aperture. Of course, this requires a strong physical body, and I, who have awakened the divine and demonic bloodline seven times, can withstand all of this."

Once the 109th blood aperture is born, it will merge with the previous 108 blood apertures, and the twelve meridians will also undergo transformation, becoming channels for the body to merge with the 109 blood apertures, connecting the entire body. This is what Buddha called the primordial unity. "Gu Yu explained.

"However, Buddha's mistake was that he did not condense the Source Cone, and he also fused with the Creation Vein, which meant that he did not even have the possibility of trying."

As for other Ancestral Realm experts, like Demon Ancestors, he might consider giving it a try, but his physical body simply couldn't withstand it.

"I see." Xi Ya looked enlightened. "All along, I've been thinking about unifying the world, absorbing its nourishment, and then merging with it to reach that realm. But I never thought about cultivating to that realm myself."

“It’s not your fault, it’s your fault in your past life. After all, even for you or me, the success rate of breaking through to this realm by blowing up the source cone wouldn’t be high. Why would he let you take that risk? It would have been safer to merge with the world,” Gu Yu said. “But he ultimately miscalculated. If he wanted to be reborn, the world needed to give birth to life, to be full of vitality, and to be completely renewed. And these lives, in order to save themselves, would naturally try to resist.”

“No, that’s not the root cause. The root cause is that he shouldn’t have created the dry one,” Xi Ya said.

"At this point, no matter what you say, you've failed. Whether you destroy the world or not is not important to me. What's important is that I won't allow you to harm my family and my comrades," Gu Yu said calmly. Then, the twelve primordial veins surrounding Xi Ya instantly turned to ashes.

The power that Xi Ya had previously absorbed, the vitality and energy of countless species, immediately began to flow back in reverse.

"No! I'm not reconciled." Xi Ya was somewhat frantic at this moment. "This world exists because of me. Without me, how could there be those lives? And the meaning of their existence is for my birth. What right do you have to resist me?"

“You’re right. There are many things in this world that are neither right nor wrong, and I never said you were wrong,” Gu Yu said. “We’re just doing what we each believe is right.”

In reality, everything has a cause and effect; it's simply about hatching a chick. The egg is a world, and the egg white represents countless species. For the chick to develop, it needs to consume the nutrients from the egg white and yolk, and then break the eggshell, which is equivalent to destroying the world. Is it wrong? No.

And it's also true that the egg white and yolk don't want to be swallowed.

As the energy absorbed by Xi Ya returned, the missing members of the race gradually reappeared, leaving all the races filled with confusion.

And the world gradually returned to its original state after the process of merging and destruction.

Gu Yu's figure slowly appeared in the void. He looked at the restored world, and then with a wave of his hand, the earth was restored to its state before the invasion, with skyscrapers, everything that had been destroyed, and so on.

"From this day forward, no race is permitted to invade Earth even a step. Anyone who disobeys will have their entire race exterminated." Gu Yu's voice instantly resounded throughout all worlds, accompanied by an unparalleled pressure.

The strongest warriors of all races trembled in fear, kneeling respectfully on the ground, "We will obey the Savior's decree."

Without a doubt, everyone knows who prevented the apocalypse from happening.

At this moment, Gu Yu moved. He had the most important thing to do: to revive Ri Jiu. He closed his eyes and began to search for the energy that Ri Jiu had turned into after her death.

Nothing in this world is eternal, but death does not mean the end; rather, it means transformation into something else and continuing to exist in the world.

Gu Yu only needs to find other things that Ri Jiu transformed into after her death to be able to transform them back into Ri Jiu, thus achieving resurrection.

As he searched, countless points of light began to gather in front of him. Soon, a long-lost figure appeared beside him; it was Ri Jiu.

"Gu Yu." When Ri Jiu saw Gu Yu, she excitedly rushed towards him. Just then, Xu Ling'er also flew over and rushed towards Gu Yu as well.

Many people appeared together: Gu Yu's parents, Shi Shuai, Qi Pingping, He Wen, Zhang Huangling, Dugu Xing, Long Aotian, Bai Long, Chi Long, and so on! It was a beautiful scene of family reunion and warmth, with joy radiating from everyone's face.

There will be no more invasions, no more crises; humanity's future is bright...
