514: The restricted area has disappeared.

Immediately, Gu Changge extended his right hand toward the endless mountains and rivers below, spread his five fingers, and then gently lifted them upward.

A majestic Law of Life flowed from his fingertips as they moved, raining down like spring showers and enveloping the world.

In the next moment, the terrifying abysses on the earth that had torn through the continents and reached deep into the core were smoothed over as if by an invisible hand, healing rapidly.

In the sky, the jagged spatial cracks quickly mended, and the shattered Laws were rewoven.

The dimmed sun, moon, and stars once again radiated warm and bright light, purer even than before the turmoil.

The living beings who had been injured or were dying from the aftershocks of the battle were enveloped in a soft glow; their wounds healed rapidly, and their depleted Origin Qi was replenished.

Although the innocent beings who died in the fires of war could not be resurrected, their remnant Souls found peace, turning into nutrients that nourished the world and dispersing the pervasive Death Qi.

The haze, fear, and despair in the hearts of all living beings melted away like mist dispersed by sunlight.

In its place was a clarity and peace from surviving a catastrophe, as well as awe and gratitude for the Supreme power that invisibly shrouded the world.

"That terrifying pressure from above has vanished!"

A Holy Land Old Ancestor with white hair and beard, whose dao foundation had been damaged in the previous disaster, reached out tremblingly.

Feeling the pure Spiritual Qi flowing through the air, brimming with vitality, he burst into tears of joy.

His once dull and cloudy eyes regained their luster, and the cultivation Bottleneck that had troubled him for years seemed to show signs of loosening.

"My injuries are completely healed! Even my old internal ailments have disappeared!"

A Cultivator who had been severely injured during the turmoil discovered with pleasant surprise that he was enveloped in a soft light; his wounds were healing at a visible rate, and even his cultivation had slightly progressed.

Above the ruins of countless cities and Sects, the surviving beings supported each other as they stood up.

They looked up at the rejuvenated sky, feeling the vitality and power flowing within them again, as well as the majestic aura that had invisibly dispersed all gloom and brought endless peace and warmth.

However, this was far from over.

Gu Changge's gaze moved slowly, sweeping across the Ruins of Gods Demise, the Burial God Abyss, the Sea of Reincarnation... those Forbidden Zones of Life that once made all beings pale at the mere mention of them and were recorded in ancient annals, were now nothing more than dust to be cleared in his eyes.

"Forbidden Zones?"

He spoke nonchalantly.

"From this day forth, there shall be no more Forbidden Zones in this world. Disperse!"

The word "Disperse," like a Heavenly Dao Judgment carrying Supreme will, swept across the world and resonated in everyone's heart.

Words Follow the Law!

It was as if an invisible yet Supreme breeze blew through those desolate lands of death.

The ancient corruption, chaos, and ominous Laws and fields that had accumulated over eons above these Forbidden Grounds...

...were forcibly dispersed and replaced by a grander, more orderly Law filled with the essence of life and renewal.

Above the Burial God Abyss, the blood-colored Malevolent Qi that had lingered year-round melted away at a visible rate, like snow being burned.

The Vengeful Souls that had circled for ages wailed, but they could not struggle within the clear light, eventually turning into pure vitality.

The Poisonous Miasma at the bottom of the abyss that could erode the Divine Soul receded like a tide, revealing dark rocks; in the crevices of the rocks, the first blade of green grass broke through the soil.

The Cultivators nearest to the edge of the Burial God Abyss looked up abruptly, watching the desolate land transform from death to life.

Their voices cracked with extreme shock: "The malevolence of the Burial God Abyss is gone! It's completely gone!"

The black vortex of the Ruins of Gods Demise that devoured everything now slowly shrank and dissipated like a punctured bubble.

At this moment, every corner of the Xuanhuang Great World was witnessing miracles that overturned their understanding.

Those ancient Forbidden Zones, regarded as desolate lands of death and symbols of death and despair, collapsed at a single thought from Gu Changge, completely replaced by new Laws full of vitality.

At this moment, the entire Xuanhuang Great World seemed to have been thoroughly cleansed and rebooted.

The world became clearer, the Spiritual Qi became purer and more active, and even the Laws of the Great Dao seemed to become more distinct.

An unprecedented sense of ease and vitality replaced the heavy feeling of being bound by invisible shackles.

This change was so clear and profound, permeating from the level of Laws down to the depths of every being's Soul.

Like a volcanic eruption, ecstasy and clamor swept across the entire world!

"The Forbidden Zones are gone! They're really gone!"

A young Cultivator pointed at the sky, so excited he was incoherent, tears falling along with his smile.

"There will be no more Dark Turmoil! No more Supremes devouring all living beings!"

"It's over... the Dark Turmoil... is really over!"

"It's the gods! It's the heavens! A Supreme being has saved us!"

"Kowtow to the heavens! Kowtow to the Savior!"

"The darkness has dispersed, and the light shall remain forever!"

"Xuanhuang is immortal! All living beings shall prosper forever!"

At first, it was scattered, sobbing cries, but they quickly converged into a unified, prayerful, and fanatical voice of gratitude and praise.

The waves of sound were like a tide, sweeping across mountains and rivers, shaking the clouds, and soaring straight into the Nine Heavens!

An old era shrouded in death, fear, and despair was buried forever with the complete demise of those Ancient Supremes and the dissipation of the Forbidden Zones.

In the Void Realm, Xuan Yangzi and the Five Ancestors watched the cheering masses below and the completely vanished Forbidden Zones, tears glistening in their old eyes.

The Great Emperor of Silence gazed at the figure in green, the awe in his heart growing deeper.

He had once been a Forbidden Zone Supreme and knew the terrifying foundations behind those desolate lands, but before his Lord, all of it dissipated like dust.

Gu Changge floated quietly in the Void Realm, looking at the world below regaining its vitality and the cheering masses, his expression remaining calm.

To him, this was merely smoothing over old scars and returning the Xuanhuang Great World to its rightful state.

But for the myriad beings of Xuanhuang, it was the end of an era and the beginning of a new eon.

However, after the waves of ecstasy and gratitude subsided slightly, a much larger and deeper question...

...like a reef revealed after the tide recedes, surfaced in the hearts of the hundreds of millions of beings in the Xuanhuang Great World:

Who was it?

Who exactly was it that, with Supreme power, ended the Dark Turmoil that even caused Emperors to fall?

Who was it that smoothed the wounds of the land with a wave of his hand, cleared the ancient Forbidden Zones, and brought a creation-like rebirth to this broken world?

From the commoners of mortal kingdoms to the Old Ancestors of Holy Land Sects, everyone involuntarily looked up in unison.

Their gazes tried to penetrate the layers of the Void Realm, looking toward the highest point of the firmament, toward the direction where all the miracles and pressure had first originated.

Their gazes could not penetrate the spatial barriers, and their Divine Sense could not even touch the edges of the Battlefield Beyond the Heavens.

Only a select few with Supreme cultivation and keen perception could vaguely feel that in those unobservable depths...

...there permeated a vast aura that made their Souls tremble and was beyond description.

There, Emperor Might lingered, and the aftershocks of the disordered Laws were still faintly vibrating.

"What on earth happened... beyond the heavens?"

A Holy Lord of an ancient Holy Land murmured to himself, his heart filled with endless awe and curiosity, yet he did not dare have the slightest thought of investigating.

The power of a being at that level was beyond anything they could fathom.

Above the Southern Region, Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, Ling Xi, Little Fatty, Mo Yu, and the others also looked up together toward that piece of the Void Realm that was gradually calming yet still heart-shaking.
