The moment Qu Si Yang's blood dripped onto the ground of the temple, it felt as if the entire realm of cultivation was shaken by that single drop.
The once clear sky suddenly changed color, and countless dark red patterns emerged in the clouds like a spider's web. These patterns spread rapidly like veins, shattering the light of the sun, moon, and stars into fragmented spots.
Whether they were powerful beings in seclusion or cultivators engaged in battle, they all discovered with terror that their spiritual energy was uncontrollably flowing along these "veins" towards an unknown distance! Their bodies felt as though they were being pulled by an invisible force, unable to break free.
"What is... happening?!" a Yuan Ying Old Ancestor screamed in horror. He tried to escape this terrifying place on his sword, but his body suddenly stiffened, completely losing control over his spiritual energy.
Immediately, bronze-colored threads emerged from his seven orifices. These threads seemed alive, swiftly wrapping around his body and binding him tightly.
Xuan Yang looked up at the sky-darkening web, filled with despair and fear.
He finally understood the true meaning of the Bronze Spider's words—"The cultivation world is merely the dining table of the Spider Mother."
At that moment, Qu Si Yang was kneeling at the center of the web. A gaping wound pierced through his chest; blood should have gushed out, but not a single drop flowed. Instead, a thick shadow poured out from the wound.
This shadow flowed along the ground's patterns, moving upstream. Wherever it passed, even the hard celestial web began to corrode.
"Useless, child," the Bronze Spider sneered coldly. Its voice echoed throughout the cultivation realm. "What flows within you is my blood; you are merely my vessel."
Its words were abruptly cut off.
Because Xuan Yang did something no one expected—he grasped the spider emblem that was merging with Qu Si Yang barehanded. The clash of light and shadow in his palm created an explosive energy storm that instantly blew off the entire dome of the temple!
"Are you seeking death?!" The Bronze Spider roared in fury, but in the next moment, it was horrified to discover that Xuan Yang's blood... was dissolving the emblem!
"I see now," Xuan Yang said as he looked at his blood boiling with golden light. "Light and darkness give rise to each other; our blood mixing together is the key."
Qu Si Yang suddenly grabbed his wrist, and their blood merged on the spider emblem. In an instant, the emblem emitted a sound like shattering glass, and a colossal vortex of light and darkness shot up into the sky!
"Enough!"
The heavens were forcefully torn apart as the perfect divine body of the Bronze Sovereign descended.
At this moment, it had no human form, but was instead a twisted giant tree composed of countless Bronze arms, each finger clutching a miniature soul of Xuan Yang.
"I intended to wait until you matured before harvesting," its voice shook the very fabric of space, "but since you are so eager to seek death..."
Suddenly, nine Bronze coffins crashed down from the void, chains extending from them to bind Xuan Yang's limbs. Even more terrifying was that Qu Si Yang's body began to move uncontrollably towards the Bronze Sovereign!
"Si Yang!" Xuan Yang struggled desperately, only to see her pupils had transformed into the multifaceted eyes of a spider, a strange smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"No, I am here," Qu Si Yang's voice suddenly echoed from within her in a dual tone. "This is... part of the plan."
With a sudden motion, she thrust her right hand into her throat and pulled out a glowing object—it was a cord entwined with starlight!
The cord in Qu Si Yang's hand erupted with blinding starlight, and for the first time, the Bronze Sovereign displayed a look of fear!
"Impossible! This thing should have been..." Its roar shattered mountains and rivers for miles around as countless Bronze arms frantically reached for the glowing cord.
Xuan Yang felt a surge of inspiration and suddenly recalled the deliberately worn-down pattern in the corner of the mural in the ruined temple—the image of a baby in the starry sky!
"You are not parasitized!" he shouted at Qu Si Yang. "You were 'planted' in this world!"
The cord suddenly extended on its own, coiling around Xuan Yang's wrist like a serpent. In that moment, their blood, memories, and souls completely intertwined, and Xuan Yang finally saw the truth—
[The Scheme from Three Thousand Years Ago]
In the vast starry sky, a giant Bronze ship was ablaze. Cultivators aboard rushed towards an enormous entity (something that could hardly be described in words, barely referred to as "a spider composed of countless rotating gears").
The last surviving woman (Qu Si Yang's mother) placed baby Qu Si Yang into a Bronze coffin and used her own body as a sacrifice to activate a cross-dimensional formation. And where the coffin fell... was precisely where the ruined temple would later stand!
Most shocking of all was that Xuan Yang saw the face of Old Village Chief within the fragments of memory—he was dressed in garments identical to those worn by the cultivators on the giant ship, with an emblem on his chest that matched the current insignia of Puppet Sect!
"The ancestor is not a traitor; he is a fugitive!"
In the real world, the "Xuan Yangs" in the hands of the Bronze Sovereign suddenly opened their eyes in unison.
"Now!" Qu Si Yang plunged the umbilical cord fiercely into her heart. "With the spark of stars... summon the heroic souls!"
Boom—!!!
The souls of countless reincarnated bodies ignited simultaneously, transforming into nine shooting stars that hurtled toward the Bronze Sovereign. Even more astonishingly, the celestial web was set ablaze by the star fire, and the spiritual power of the devoured cultivators began to surge back into the earth!
"You dare..." The Bronze Sovereign's divine form cracked, but then it suddenly grinned maliciously. "But do not forget, the fusion of light and darkness is the ultimate key!"
It actively disintegrated its body, transforming into a torrent of bronze that surged toward the two Xuan Yangs!
As the bronze torrent engulfed heaven and earth, Xuan Yang and Qu Si Yang stood back to back.
"Do you want to merge?" Qu Si Yang's voice was soft yet resolute, as if this were not a simple question but a choice that determined life and death.
Her fingertips gently brushed against Xuan Yang's hand, as light as a feather yet carrying an irresistible force.
At that moment, Qu Si Yang's body had become semi-transparent, resembling a star in the night sky, radiating a faint glow.
The starry umbilical cord behind her unfurled like wings of light, as if she was about to undergo transformation and ascend, breaking free from the shackles of this world.
Xuan Yang gazed at the collapsing world before him; it was a scene of apocalypse, where heaven and earth lost their color and all things withered away.
Yet, in this moment of despair, he suddenly smiled—a smile that transcended life and death, filled with resolution and nonchalance.
"No, this time we choose the third path." Xuan Yang's voice was calm and decisive, as if he had already made this choice in his heart.
He grasped the umbilical cord tightly and without hesitation plunged it forcefully into his chest!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere as their blood mingled within the umbilical cord, forming a swirling vortex of gold and black.
The vortex resembled a black hole in the universe, devouring everything around it, including the collapsing world.
At that moment, the heavens shattered with a thunderous roar, as if the entire world had been torn apart.
The burning Bronze giant ship crashed into this realm like a shooting star, stirring up a tumultuous wave.
On the deck of the giant ship stood countless translucent remnants of ancient cultivators, their figures flickering in the firelight like ghosts.
These remnants let out roars of fury, seemingly expressing their unwillingness and anger.
"In the name of the Ark—" the voices of Xuan Yang and Qu Si Yang overlapped, resonating like thunder, shaking the entire world.
"Cut the causality!"
With that furious shout, the giant ship collided with the Bronze Sovereign with overwhelming force.
In an instant, all the spiritual energy consumed by the web erupted explosively like a volcanic eruption.
The beings of the cultivation world looked up at the sky and saw that the web's intricate patterns were being burned away by starlight, as if being torn apart by an invisible hand.
And upon the ruins of that desolate temple, a twin monument quietly emerged.
This stone tablet bore two lines of text: "Light and darkness shine together, eternal day without shadow."
