Yes, a small ritual identical to the one taking place at the Dragon Gate!
Fo Lian drew a line on the ground to form a river, and a ditch appeared beneath the overturned soil.
Then, following Qin Ye Xuan's instructions, she first used two large stones to build a frame, and then placed the miniature Golden Bridge model on the stones.
Water continuously seeped from the mud ditch. Suddenly, several small loaches emerged, followed by small fish and insects.
They were only the size of match heads, but they appeared in endless numbers, eventually clogging the ditch.
Qin Ye Xuan leaned against Fo Lian, observing carefully, waiting.
Then, behind the ditch, a small fish with orange-red scales appeared. It was the most beautiful and spirited fish in the ditch. It suddenly flicked its tail, leaped into the air, and using the backs of the densely packed loaches, it sprang towards the small Golden Bridge.
"This is it!" Qin Ye Xuan crushed the small bottle. The blood from the true Golden Carp, Su Yu Luo, stained the fish.
The Witch Clan's tears also fell simultaneously, instantly transforming into countless fine threads that entwined around the Golden Bridge.
Fo Lian closed her eyes and exhaled, channeling a spiritual power into the small Golden Bridge.
Instantly, a bright light flashed, and a miniature gate identical to the one on the Dragon Gate River appeared.
Despite being mentally prepared, Fo Lian exclaimed in shock, "It's true, it's really successful!"
The auspicious hour had arrived!
Above the Dragon Gate River, the gate to the Pure Land slowly opened.
The extraterrestrial deities cried out in unison, then descended into chaos.
They discovered that it was not the Xuanyuan clan, as agreed, who opened the gate, but a terrifying figure standing on the bridge.
The rituals represented by the three great mysteries officially commenced.
A power as vast as a star roared and broke free from the restraints of Xuanyuan Zi and the others, passing directly through the gate and charging towards the Golden Bridge.
The mysterious figure spread his arms and closed his eyes proudly, "The spirit of Pangu was always mine, and it returns to its rightful owner today! Xuanyuan Zi, Xiao Yao Zi, bald donkeys... you wait!"
Xuanyuan Zi cried out in despair, realizing the situation was irreversible. He immediately raised his arm and shouted, "Even if he obtains the spirit of Pangu, he still needs Pangu's body scattered across the land. Everyone, let's charge down together, and remember to gather your strength, preparing for the retaliation of that old devil!"
Countless colossal figures followed, passing through the gate with clouds of spiritual energy behind them. Centered on Chaoge, they poured into all regions of Jiuzhou.
Even beyond Jiuzhou, across the overseas continents, storms were brewing.
Abnormal celestial phenomena and terrifying natural disasters were rapidly brewing.
Demons from other realms, legendary monsters, and lurking evils all awakened on this planet.
The gate to the Pure Land slowly closed, merging silently with the Golden Bridge below.
The gate transformed into a floating island, and the Golden Bridge became a staircase.
The spirit of Pangu entered the mysterious figure's body, and he erupted in laughter, but the laughter instantly stopped.
"What, what's missing!"
Hao Tian's face turned pale with shock. He clasped his fingers, employing the art of divination!
Below, amidst the grass and trees, Qin Ye Xuan's ritual was also complete. Behind the small, adorable gate, a thread-like Pangu spirit appeared and nimbly drilled into Qin Ye Xuan's danhai.
Fo Lian's breathing almost stopped.
Qin Ye Xuan looked up at her, "If the old fellow got the entire Pangu spirit, then we wouldn't stand a chance. Don't underestimate the sliver I stole; it's the only glimmer of hope in despair."
After speaking, Qin Ye Xuan let out a breath. The small gate vanished, the Golden Bridge shattered, and the ditch was filled with dead loaches and small fish.
The small orange-red fish fell to the side, and from its tail, dragon scales began to grow. But before it could complete the final transformation into a dragon, its eyes widened, and it died.
Fo Lian stared blankly, "It didn't transform into a dragon!"
Qin Ye Xuan shook his head, "After all, it was a replicated miniature ritual. If it could have survived out of water and waited long enough, it could have become a half-dragon."
With that, he whistled towards the depths of the forest.
A lion cat rushed out desperately, braked sharply, and stared at Qin Ye Xuan with horror, speaking in human words, "It's over. This is a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. In the end, some unknown fellow reaped all the benefits. I saw those deities darting around in anger."
Qin Ye Xuan pointed at the dead dragon fish, "A reward for you."
"Wow! With the spiritual energy reviving now, plus this half-dragon fish, my strength can be greatly enhanced."
The cat, which had transformed from the green-maned lion, swallowed the fish and continued to report, "Su Yu Luo transformed into a dragon girl. After she leaped over the Dragon Gate, someone on the bridge seemed to pull her from afar. She didn't pass through the Pure Land Gate but instead fell downstream of the Dragon Gate River."
Qin Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The old fellow kept his word and pulled Yu Luo back... Bing Yan and the others are guarding downstream; she'll be fine."
Zhao Xi Bei and the students from Chaoge, Bing Yan would also take care of them.
Qin Ye Xuan slowly stood up, staggering. Fo Lian quickly supported him.
"Let's go and see what the situation is now."
On the Golden Bridge, Hao Tian finished his divination, stroking his beard in bewilderment.
"The spirit of Pangu is impossible to divine, but someone who can defy the heavens and forcefully seize that trace of spiritual energy... hehe, it can only be that kid Qin Ye Xuan."
Hao Tian hesitated, then suddenly laughed, "Is this not the will of heaven? Let Qin Ye Xuan keep it for me. When I gather all of Pangu's body, I will dig out his danhai!"
Saying this, he walked towards the golden steps, heading straight for the floating island in the sky.
Suddenly, Hao Tian turned and looked at Wang Jia Qian below, "You come with me. I still have use for the Witch Clan!"
With that, he raised his hand and patted the flying island.
On the island, a large snake representing the Witch God appeared, its eyes like the bright moon, looking expectantly at Wang Jia Qian.
Wang Jia Qian felt an extraordinary sense of closeness and couldn't help but follow the mysterious figure onto the golden steps.
Above, the great snake representing the Witch God slowly raised its body, then prostrated itself on the ground, welcoming her as its queen.
...
Somewhere on the south bank of the Dragon Gate River, Di Xin leaned on a giant sword, looking mournfully at the skeletons behind him.
The humans recruited from Chaoge could not withstand the recent spiritual energy surge and had all turned to dust. Even he himself was covered in bloody wounds.
Di Xin looked at the giant sword in his hand, "I never thought I was so frail and incompetent. How can I speak of conquering the world?"
He actually raised the giant sword and placed it against his neck.
"Brother, don't!" Zhang Tai Jia drilled out from underground and hugged him tightly, "Come with me. We'll still be together. Brother, my family misses you!"
"Tai Jia, I didn't expect you to be the most loyal in the end!"
At this moment, a figure crossed the Dragon Gate River.
The figure was graceful and elegant, yet exuded dominance.
She took another step, instantly covering hundreds of meters, appearing before Di Xin.
It was Zhu Tian Qi.
Di Xin shielded Tai Jia behind him, "What... do you intend to do?"
Zhu Tian Qi said excitedly, "Brother, you are a generation's overlord and demon king, why so disheartened? Now that spiritual energy is reviving, and the deities are returning to vie for power, it is a time of great chaos in the world. And every time there is great chaos, it is when my demonic sect is most active."
Di Xin, a generation's demon emperor, immediately understood her meaning.
He slowly extended his hand, "In today's Jiuzhou, conflict is imminent. If you and I cooperate, we can achieve great things!"
Zhu Tian Qi proudly shook his hand, "But, there cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two lords over men!"
Di Xin slowly knelt, "I am willing to obey the sect leader's orders. As long as great matters are accomplished in the future, I will be satisfied if my former territories are enfeoffed to me!"
Zhu Tian Qi naturally did not believe his submission, but now was the time to use people, so she smiled, "Very well!"
The two, along with Tai Jia, vanished into the distance in an instant.
...
In the direction of Tian Yu Valley on Ling Meng Mountain, classmate Wang Yu Lan emerged from the soil, carrying a comatose young man, herself covered in injuries.
The Hell Scroll had instantly absorbed A Yu's small world. Everything was lost.
But streams of spiritual energy from the great gate in the sky roared down, drilling into A Yu's body.
With every step Wang Yu Lan took, a certain aura within her grew stronger.
Could I also cultivate now?
Holding her son, she was filled with both surprise and joy. Her injuries began to heal, and her steps quickened...
At this moment, in the Great Xia of Jiuzhou, from south to north, from east to west, countless beams of light shot up into the sky.
From hundreds they became tens of thousands.
These were humans with talent who, at the moment of spiritual energy revival and the descent of gods and demons, activated their abilities.
The world was about to change drastically!
Downstream of the Dragon Gate River, in addition to Su Yu Luo, Bing Yan and the others fished out another woman, soaked through.
"Shen Bing Mei!"
"Take her. As Brother-in-law ordered, we are all returning to the Su family's small building!"
...
The abnormal celestial phenomena above Chaoge quickly disappeared.
The city would eventually return to its former liveliness. Regarding this upheaval, various forces, including the high levels of all countries, were engaged in urgent calls, discussions, negotiations, and analysis of the aftermath...
But for most people, the sun rose as usual, and life had to go on.
On the roadside outside Chaoge City, Qin Ye Xuan, holding the lion cat, looked at the overturned car by the roadside, "Choose one, and we'll take another road!"
Fo Lian frowned, "Where are we going, exactly?"
"To the Korean continent!"
