#514 - Chapter 1 The Emergence of World Consciousness
Why would treasures from the Feng Shen world end up in the Ice and Fire world? And only a solitary one remains. Zhao Caishen, at the very least, was a Golden Immortal, possibly even a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal. If calculated by levels, he would be a powerhouse of the thirteenth or fourteenth order. Yet, I am merely an insignificant fourth-order ant, completely unable to comprehend the world of such great beings.
However, one thing I know very well is that such a treasure must be hidden securely. Because I deeply understand the principle that possessing a treasure invites disaster, especially in a world with a cultivation system. Once such a treasure is discovered, it will undoubtedly attract countless people to fight over it.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan found a way to return home. The interior of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl forms its own realm, capable of traversing the void and even possessing the miraculous ability to travel through time and space. Thus, Liu Yuan absorbed the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl into his body and prepared to leave this place. He would seek out a quiet place to thoroughly study this Ocean Stabilizing Pearl and see what other functions it might have.
Just then, a crisp cracking sound echoed as dense cracks spread across the outer barrier. The cave began to collapse, and the lava beneath his feet bubbled violently! A scorching heatwave surged towards him, accompanied by intense tremors. Liu Yuan suddenly felt himself rising. Yes, he was indeed rising, and at an accelerating pace.
Liu Yuan had no time to think. He fully activated his true essence, and a blue light instantly enveloped his body. Dozens of ice element shields rapidly formed around him. Immediately afterward, these shields clashed with the high temperature of the lava, generating a large amount of steam, obscuring his vision.
When Liu Yuan opened his eyes again, he found that the scene before him had completely changed. The original lava and stone walls had vanished, replaced by a vast and boundless starry sky. He looked around in surprise, discovering that he was actually suspended in mid-air, with deafening roars ringing in his ears!
As his consciousness gradually cleared, Liu Yuan finally realized what had happened—he had been launched into the air by the force of a volcanic eruption!
Below him unfolded a strange and magnificent scene. The most striking feature was the enormous volcano, nearly a hundred miles in diameter. Liu Yuan had been ejected from the interior of this volcano. His gaze quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for a place to land. Finally, he locked onto a relatively flat cliff and flew towards it.
The immediate priority was to recover from his injuries. “Huff… breath!” As soon as he landed, Liu Yuan took a deep breath, absorbing all the air energy within a two-hundred-mile radius into his body. He felt the surging energy flowing through his body, as if endless power was emerging.

At the same time, astonishing news began to spread throughout the known world. The once-boiling and churning sea gradually returned to calm, and the earthquakes and tsunamis that had persisted for eight years miraculously disappeared! This news aroused widespread attention and discussion, with people speculating whether there was some mysterious force at play behind it.
For the residents of coastal areas and ocean-going merchants, this was undoubtedly exciting news. They had long been threatened by earthquakes and tsunamis, living in fear. Now that these disasters had finally ended, they felt extremely excited and grateful. Many people knelt down, piously praying to the various gods they believed in, thanking heaven for giving them hope.
The Empire dispatched exploration fleets as quickly as possible, with the aim of restoring maritime connections with Dragon's Flame Bay. Various coastal city-states also sent ships out to sea. Countless ships, like agile fish, once again joyfully sailed on the vast sea.
A month later, near the great volcano, Liu Yuan stood there quietly. The divine crystal in his hand suddenly shattered, turning into ashes and scattering with the sea breeze. He slowly stood up, his body, which had been injured in battle, was now completely healed. He had successfully refined the two divine crystals, which not only greatly improved his strength but also granted him several unique abilities of the gods.
However, at that moment, Liu Yuan raised his head in confusion, staring at the sky. He saw clouds swirling violently, with flashes of lightning flickering within them. Was he about to undergo a tribulation? But why did this feeling differ so much from the last time? He wondered to himself.
Liu Yuan focused on watching the swirling clouds in the sky, a strange feeling of being watched welling up in his heart. In the center of the rotating clouds, a golden vertical pupil gradually appeared. At the same time, a powerful pressure swept over him like a tide, enveloping his body. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been unable to withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground, but Liu Yuan stood firmly, his eyes fixed on the sky with a determined gaze.
Liu Yuan groaned, his feet sinking deeply into the iron-hard rock, his body leaning slightly forward, but his back remained straight. He looked up at the eye in the sky, his eyes firm and unyielding, as if challenging that powerful force.
Time passed by, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate. Although Liu Yuan was under immense pressure, he stubbornly persevered, refusing to succumb to the pressure from the sky.
Finally, as if realizing that this approach could not make Liu Yuan submit, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the entire earth. Liu Yuan was very familiar with the aura of this light. It was the same as when he had communicated with the world consciousness before.
“Leave my world! Creature from another world!” A majestic, androgynous voice boomed in Liu Yuan's mind, deafening.
Hearing this, Liu Yuan felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction. Back then, in order to enter this world, he did not hesitate to burn his flesh and his remaining source of the world, and even sacrificed the remaining system. It can be said that he had given everything, just to be able to take root here. Now, the world's will was turning its back on him, insisting that he was a creature from another world. How could he not feel angry?
“Leave this world! Or die!” The voice sounded again, with an unquestionable tone.
Hearing this, the anger in Liu Yuan's heart erupted like a volcano. He roared angrily, “Why! I paid the price of everything to come to this world. Now you want me to leave? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
The golden light in the sky became more and more dazzling, as if to illuminate the entire world. The immense pressure was like a heavy mountain pressing down on Liu Yuan, but he clenched his teeth tightly, straightened his body, and refused to give way.
