651: Chapter 651: Sea of ​​True Spirits (Final Chapter)

However, not long after the Eternal Old Man left.

This dead silent void, with only nothingness and sporadic Chaos Qi remaining, suddenly rippled almost imperceptibly.

A figure slowly emerged.

It was a woman, whose beauty could not be described by any words in the world.

Her existence seemed to gather all the spiritual essence and brilliance of the Chaos Sea; the sun, moon, and stars would dim before her.

A hazy gown trailed to the ground, outlining her infinitely beautiful figure, and as her gaze shifted, it seemed as if myriad universes were born and destroyed, yet it also carried an ancient sorrow and tenderness.

She gazed at the place where Lin Yu had disappeared for a long time before letting out a sigh as light as smoke.

"Little Lin... I wasn't wasting the cultivation points I usually tricked you out of..."

Her voice was ethereal and distant, filled with endless affection and a hint of a choke, "Instead, I was accumulating the origin for your restart... Originally, I never hoped there would be a day when it would be needed..."

She slowly extended her slender, jade-like hand and gently waved it at the void.

From her fingertips flowed profound and ultimate laws, containing the primordial origin of Chaos Sea.

A miracle occurred.

In the previously empty void, specks of starlight began to gather, and a faint but resilient divine soul fluctuation, like a sleeping seed being awakened, slowly condensed.

Lin Yu's figure, which had been reduced to ashes, actually began to reform; although his eyes were tightly shut and his aura was weak, he was indeed returning!

And beside him, another graceful figure also appeared simultaneously, it was Ling Yun.

She seemed to have known all along, her beautiful eyes filled with hot tears, gazing foolishly at Lin Yu's reforming figure with both attachment and resolute determination.

"Lin Yu," the exquisitely beautiful woman called softly, her eyes filled with an intense, unresolvable love for Lin Yu.

She had accompanied him the longest, witnessed his growth every step of the way, and her love had long since taken deep root.

She was not a cold system; she was one of the most fundamental origins of Chaos Sea—the Profound Yellow Origin, named: Yu Ling.

Then she looked at Ling Yun beside her, "Little sister, are you ready?"

Her existence was the most basic form that constituted Chaos Sea.

As for Ling Yun, she was the first race within Chaos Sea, the Holy Spirit Race, and she was also the ancestral body, the embodiment of the Grandmist Origin.

In the final moments before, she had already realized that Lin Yu's Immortal Dao, from beginning to end, was about his own immortality, not the Great Dao Immortality of the Eternal Old Man.

What was missing were the last two origins to construct his own immortality.

Lin Yu had already integrated the Chaos Origin into his inner world, and what was missing were their two origins. Now, the only way to help Lin Yu complete the final step was to sacrifice themselves, completing the fusion of the three great origins. This would perfect Lin Yu's own immortality.

Ling Yun looked at her, tears mixed with a smile, and nodded vigorously: "Sister Yu, let's begin. To have accompanied Husband this far, my heart is content."

Yu Ling's eyes also welled up with tears, and she nodded heavily.

The next moment, a soft and brilliant pink light rose, enveloping the three of them.

Within the light, there was the most primitive throb of life and the deepest devotion.

(The process is inconvenient to display, please understand, dear friends!)

As the light faded, the figures of Yu Ling and Ling Yun had disappeared.

In their place were two of the purest, most fundamental energies—one enveloped in Profound Yellow Qi, the foundation for constructing Chaos Sea; the other imbued with primordial purple mist, the origin of all things.

These two origins, containing all their consciousness, all their emotions, all their existence, like moths drawn to a flame, gently yet resolutely, merged into Lin Yu's reforming body and divine soul.

They completed the last, and most crucial, missing piece of his "Self-Immortal" Great Dao!

A perfect, flawless, naturally occurring, and self-sufficient Immortal Power slowly emanated from Lin Yu's body.

...

Lin Yu's consciousness awakened from boundless darkness.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no chaotic celebrations.

His immortality was self-contained perfection, introverted yet ultimate.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, the surrounding Chaos Sea space seemed unable to bear the "weight" naturally emanating from him, silently splitting open to form an absolutely void black hole domain.

Everything—Yu Ling's silent guardianship, Ling Yun's resolute sacrifice, the perfection of his own Great Dao—was understood in his heart the moment he awakened.

Sadness, emotion, anger, longing... various emotions flowed through his heart.

But his state of mind was like a deep, ancient well, undisturbed by ripples.

Self-immortality brought him absolute control and clarity.

He learned many things, including a mysterious place even the system (Yu Ling) had never known, a place transcending Chaos Sea—the Sea of True Spirits.

That was the starting point of the ultimate destination for all living beings, recording the imprints of all true spirits.

His beloved women, daughter, relatives, and friends... though they had died with him, their true spirits had not perished.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step, traversing countless dimensions, and arrived at that indescribable, vast ocean composed of endless True Spirit light.

Here, he quickly found all the familiar auras: Shangguan Yunxi, Tang Yue, Li Ti, his daughter... and even the true spirit imprints of White Xiao Ya, Huang Daxian, and others.

With the great power of his own immortality, and expending a little of his origin, he individually reshaped their divine souls and physical bodies, perfectly resurrecting them.

Looking at his relatives who were gradually awakening beside him, filled with surprise, joy, and a touch of confusion, Lin Yu's heart felt warm, yet it lacked the two most important figures.

The true spirits of Ling Yun and Yu Ling were not here.

Their sacrifice was a return to their essence, a fusion with his Great Dao, and could not be retrieved through the Sea of True Spirits.

But in Lin Yu's heart, a decision had already been made.

"Wait for me," he said to his relatives, his gaze calm yet containing an unshakable will.

The next moment.

He appeared before the Eternal Old Man, who was in a grand hall, receiving the worship of countless universe rulers.

The solemnity and indifference on the Eternal Old Man's face instantly turned into incredible shock and fear when he sensed the distinctly different, introverted, yet soul-shaking Immortal Power emanating from Lin Yu!

"You... impossible!!"

He shrieked, unable to comprehend what was before him.

Lin Yu was clearly dead; he had personally annihilated him with Immortal Power.

But now...

Lin Yu gave him no chance for idle talk.

Self-immortality vs. Great Dao Immortality was an absolute crushing at the fundamental level.

There was no fierce battle, no world-destroying clash.

Lin Yu simply raised his hand calmly and pointed a finger, just as the Eternal Old Man had annihilated him, he would return the favor!

The Eternal Old Man desperately mobilized Immortal Power, attempting to resist, but in the face of Lin Yu's power, which targeted the very root, all defenses were rendered useless.

His body, his Great Dao, his divine soul, all traces of his existence were utterly erased from the most fundamental level by that single finger.

Even his imprint in the Sea of True Spirits vanished along with it.

Great Dao Immortality had a reliance, relying on this Chaos Sea.

But Lin Yu's immortality was his own; he was immortal wherever he went. This Chaos Sea could not contain him; at his arrival, Chaos Sea automatically retreated.

And without the reliance of Chaos Sea, the Great Dao Immortal Eternal Old Man lost his ability to be immortal.

Being annihilated... was very simple.

...

Lin Yu returned to his relatives, and with a wave of his hand, he directly manifested his already perfect, boundless inner world within Chaos Sea.

This world was perfect and powerful, self-sustaining, with complete laws, mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars, teeming with life, far more suitable for survival than any other universe.

He held his daughter's hand and smiled faintly at all his relatives and loved ones.

Then, under everyone's puzzled gazes, he softly said, "Don't be afraid. Wait for me to bring them back."

The next moment, he closed his eyes.

His body began to emit a soft light.

He was doing something earth-shattering—self-disintegration!

He slowly peeled away his perfectly complete self-immortal Dao foundation, carefully and completely separating the Profound Yellow Origin belonging to Yu Ling and the Grandmist Origin belonging to Ling Yun, which were integrated deep within his life origin!

This process was incredibly difficult and carried immense risks, but he was resolute.

Light flowed, and the Dao rhythm roared.

After an unknown amount of time, two warm and familiar lights of origin were finally separated by him, completely intact, and floated in the air.

Lin Yu's aura instantly plummeted from immortality, and his face was pale, but his eyes were filled with infinite anticipation and tenderness.

Under his gaze, within the radiant glow of those two origins, two exquisitely beautiful figures, from ethereal to solid, slowly condensed.

Yu Ling and Ling Yun opened their eyes, their gazes initially somewhat confused, but when they saw each other, saw the concerned gazes around them, and finally saw Lin Yu, pale-faced but with a warm smile, all their memories resurfaced.

Tears instantly streamed down their faces.

"Yu Ling... Ling Yun..." Lin Yu's voice was hoarse, and he opened his arms.

The two rushed into his embrace like swallows returning to their nest, hugging tightly and weeping uncontrollably.

Around them, Shangguan Yunxi, his daughter... all the resurrected people, shed tears of relief and joy.

"You fool... was it worth it...?" Yu Ling pounded his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Without you two, what meaning does immortality hold?" Lin Yu smiled, holding them tightly, as if holding the entire world.

His Dao foundation had fallen, but his people had returned.

In the endless years to come, he had all the time in the world to be with them, step by step, cultivating again.

The important thing was that everyone was together.

Sunlight spilled down, illuminating this reborn perfect world, and also illuminating the happy smiles on everyone's faces.

The past grand and perilous events, the trials of life and death, had all transformed into the sedimentation of time.

The days ahead would be filled with the peace and warmth of being together forever.
