262: 610 trillion geniuses from the Divine Realm compete for a new Divine Realm

At the exact moment Lin Yuan's Divine Thought locked onto the coordinates of the chaos origin spring!

A cold, grand torrent of intent, seemingly originating from the Heavenly Dao, ignored spatial distance and individual cultivation to precisely imprint itself deep within the Souls of all 610 quadrillion primal gold seal holders who had just stepped into the 903 Divine Domain!

【Heavenly Dao Transmission · 903 Divine Domain Initial Formation】

In this Divine Domain, Chaos has just been divided, and the boundaries are yet to be set. Countless territory construction resources and building fragments have been bred within the Chaos and scattered throughout the Divine Domain! However, as the Divine Domain is newly formed, countless strange beasts and Dark Abyss creatures coveting the new domain require you to go forth and subjugate them!

All seal holders may become a Divine Domain Lord or a pioneer for the opening of the new domain!

Effective immediately, corresponding Lord Talents will be randomly generated based on the Rank of the primal gold seal you hold. You may choose to become a Lord or an Explorer based on the type of Lord Talent generated!

The Primal Heavenly Dao will now allocate positions based on your gold seal Ranks:

Those holding Rank 1 to Rank 3 seals will be teleported to a resource point of the corresponding Rank to clear the strange beasts near the resources. Those who wish to become a Lord can use the Lord Decree derived from the primal gold seal in this area to build a territory.

Those holding Rank 4 to Rank 6 seals will be teleported to the core area of a strange beast nest of a corresponding Rank to establish a territory. Your mission is to clear the strange beast nests and collect fragments of core buildings for Star Cities. If you can clear all strange beasts around your territory, that will be your place to settle and survive in the Early Stage!

Those holding Rank 7 to Rank 8 seals can independently choose to build a territory or focus on exploring Secret Realms to increase their strength!

Those holding Rank 9 seals will be teleported to the core nodes of the Star Continent! After clearing stronger beasts, they can seek opportunities to explore Creation Secret Realms or directly build a territory!

Those holding Rank 10 seals have the highest authority and the deepest favor of the Heavenly Dao! They will descend directly to the place guided by the Primal Divine Decree!

All 610 quadrillion seal holders, take your positions and fulfill your duties! Clear the beasts, build territories, explore the unknown, and accumulate merit. Those with abundant merit can use it to exchange for the qualification to upgrade their territory into a Star City and earn the title of Star City Lord! This is the beginning of the Epoch Battlefield!

This cold torrent of intent, like a frigid iron Law, instantly set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of the quadrillions of prodigies!

“Everyone can become a Lord?! Heavens!”

“610 quadrillion... how many... how many prodigies are there?!”

“A Rank 1 seal can only be sent to a Rank 1 resource point... Sigh, it looks like I can only be a heartless gatherer in the Early Stage...”

“Rank 7 seal! I wonder what Lord Talent will be generated. If it's a combat talent, then I can also try to seize some creation!”

“Rank 9! The core node of the Star Continent! If I can establish a territory there, I'll have a great chance to compete for the position of Star Continent Lord in the future and rule over ten thousand Star Cities. It's dangerous... but the opportunity is even greater!”

“Rank 10... primal divine seal... Hiss! That Lin Yuan... I wonder where he'll be teleported. Will he get a huge harvest as soon as he enters?”

Countless thoughts intertwined in the Void Realm—excitement, disappointment, solemnity, and envy and awe toward the high-Rank seals.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!... The moment the Heavenly Dao transmission ended, the entire newborn 903 Divine Domain seemed to come to life! Countless rays of teleportation light, like blooming fireworks, lit up simultaneously in every corner of the chaotic Void Realm!

The figures of those over 600 quadrillion prodigies holding Rank 1-3 seals were instantly enveloped in light and vanished, randomly assigned to the countless resource points of various Ranks scattered like the sands of the Ganges. They would face strange beasts entrenched in low-level trial grounds, ore veins, and spirit plant areas, fighting for survival space and Elementary resources amidst the Chaos.

The prodigies holding Rank 4-6 seals turned into slightly more brilliant rays of light, projected into the core positions of strange beast nests to find suitable locations to build territories, clear the nests, gather fragments, and construct core buildings for their territories!

The owners of Rank 7-8 seals had even more dazzling teleportation lights and could freely choose to clear beasts or explore ruins. The beasts at their teleportation coordinates were more powerful, the ruins and Secret Realms were of higher value, and they were more likely to obtain Star Continent-level building fragments!

Fifteen of the most brilliant pillars of light, second only to Lin Yuan's Chaos Divine Light, soared into the sky! Those were the fifteen top prodigies with Rank 9 seals, including Mr. Yuan Mie Xu, Azure Heaven Emperor, Constant Inability, and Xuanyuan Wuji! They were directly teleported to the relatively rare Star Continent-level core nodes scattered throughout the Divine Domain! Each node contained immense risks and creations enough to move even a Hunyuan Realm expert!

And at the very center and source of these quadrillions of teleportation lights, there was only Lin Yuan!

He suspended above the chaos origin spring, his body shrouded in the unique afterglow of the teleportation formed by Chaos Divine Light. He clearly perceived the hundreds of millions of teleportation lights behind him, representing different Ranks and destinations, like stars surrounding the moon, yet distinctly separating him from everyone else.

He was the first pioneer chosen by the Heavenly Dao for this newborn Divine Domain to step into the core!

Lin Yuan's gaze remained calm, as if this Heavenly Dao allocation, enough to make all living beings boil with excitement, was merely a matter of course to him. The devouring vortex on the wings behind him accelerated slightly, drawing in a wisp of pure Mother Qi erupting from the chaos origin spring.

It was a relatively "calm" area within the endless Chaos energy storm. Its core was a "spring eye" no more than a hundred feet in diameter. The spring eye was not physical but composed of nearly liquefied energy in the original color of Chaos Return to Ruin. It erupted and rotated silently, each pulsation causing the surrounding hundreds of millions of miles of Chaos airflow to ebb and flow like tides, emitting an attraction that made the Chaos Origin within Lin Yuan's body cheer with joy.

The chaos origin spring!

One of the purest Chaos Origin energy nodes naturally formed within the chaotic storm of the Great Dao's Laws at the opening of the new Divine Domain! For any existence cultivating the supreme Daos of Chaos, Origin, or Return to Ruin, or those needing massive amounts of pure energy for Body Tempering, this was a supreme treasure. Only those bearing the highest Rank seal and favored most by the Heavenly Dao could be directly guided to its core the moment they stepped into this world!

However, this "favor" did not come without a price.

The moment Lin Yuan descended into the core area of the chaos origin spring, a sudden change occurred!

“Roar—!!!”

“Hiss-Aung—!!!”

“Crack!!!”

Countless terrifying screeches that made one's scalp tingle and Divine Soul feel like it was splitting apart exploded instantly, like drops of water dropped into boiling oil! The sounds penetrated the chaotic Great Dao storm, carrying pure destruction and greedy intent, surging madly from all directions, above and below, and even from the cracks in space!

The pure energy erupting from the chaos origin spring was like the brightest lighthouse in the dark night, instantly igniting the most primitive devouring instinct of the "aborigines" lurking in the dark corners of this newborn Divine Domain!

Space was forcibly torn open! A tide of strange beasts with hideous forms and chaotic, violent auras descended boldly, like a school of piranhas smelling blood!

They were of various forms: some like giant scorpions covered in molten lava shells, their tails swinging ghostly blue poisonous stingers capable of freezing space; some shaped like the decaying remains of stars, their bodies entwined with wailing tentacles that twisted the Soul; and some were simply masses of black storms that constantly expanded and contracted, composed of pure destructive energy, with countless crimson eyes opening and closing within!
