Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

Lin Xiao gently pulled her into his arms, his fingers running through her loose, dark hair. Though his eyes were weary, his voice remained as firm as ever: "We can. As long as we find a way, we definitely can."

Hongying approached with a hot towel, gently wiping away the congealed blood from his face. Her eyes were filled with heartache: "Little brother, don't push yourself too hard. We're safe in the 'Source' world, and the people of Great Xia have all moved here. Even if we can't find a solution right now, we still have time..."

Lin Wan'er lifted her head from Lin Xiao's embrace and nodded vigorously in agreement: "If all else fails, we can hide in my world. Or... let the 'Source' world devour my world, so everyone's strength can advance further."

Lin Xiao closed his eyes and sighed deeply, his breath carrying a faint smell of blood: "Azathoth was able to find the Primordial World and the Original World; it's only a matter of time before he discovers the 'Source' World."

He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp: "I will go into seclusion to find a solution. During this time, the 'Source' world is in your hands."

Three days later, at the Zixiao Palace in the Heavenly Court.

Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on the futon, staring at the four supreme treasures floating in front of him, his brows furrowed.

The cracks on Pangu's Axe spread like a spider web, the starlight within the Chaos Pearl dimmed, and the edges of the lotus leaves of the Creation Lotus began to yellow and curl. Only the Creation Jade Disc continued to rotate slowly, but the black mist swirling around its surface grew increasingly dense.

A profound sense of powerlessness surged into his heart—even if he gathered all four supreme treasures and fused them to create the legendary Chaos Green Lotus, he would probably still be unable to contend with Azathoth, who had already far surpassed the Ascended Realm.

“Just one more thing to go…” Lin Xiao murmured to himself, his gaze passing through the layers of palaces and landing on Lin Wan’er, who was tending to the wounded in the distance.

He took a deep breath, and his figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

"Wan'er."

Lin Wan'er was using the power of creation to heal a dragon whose body had been corrupted by the power of the element that counters it. When she heard the call, she looked up, her black hair glistening with fine beads of sweat.

"Lin Xiao? Weren't you in seclusion?" A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, quickly replaced by worry. "What happened?"

Looking at the woman before him, whose fate was intertwined with his, Lin Xiao felt a surge of complex emotions. She should have been living a free and happy life under his protection, but now she was busy running around for him.

“I need the Qiankun Cauldron,” he said bluntly.

Lin Wan'er untied the small cauldron, her fingertips gently stroking its surface: "You've finally decided to refine the Chaos Green Lotus?" She handed the cauldron over, then suddenly pulled it back, "But you must promise me, if things become impossible..."

“I understand.” Lin Xiao interrupted her and reached out to take the Qiankun Cauldron.

The moment they made contact, the small cauldron suddenly emitted a dazzling azure light, automatically hovering in front of him. Lin Xiao flashed back into the Purple Cloud Palace. Lin Wan'er hesitated, then finally sighed softly, "I'll go protect you." With that, she turned and left, her skirt trailing a cool, elegant arc on the ground.

After the palace doors closed, Lin Xiao took a deep breath and formed hand seals. Suddenly, complex array patterns lit up the floor of Zixiao Palace, and thirty-six green lamps appeared out of thin air, arranged according to the positions of the stars in the heavens. Each lamp wick burned with the fire of creation, the primordial power he had extracted from the Creation Lotus.

Lin Xiao placed the Qiankun Cauldron in the center, and the cauldron expanded in the wind, transforming into a giant cauldron three zhang tall in the blink of an eye. The chaotic energy inside the cauldron surged, as if it could melt the heavens.

"let's start."

Lin Xiao formed a hand seal, and the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus flew into the cauldron first. The moment the green lotus entered the cauldron, the entire Zixiao Palace trembled violently, and as the lotus leaves unfurled, three thousand Great Dao runes manifested.

Immediately afterwards, the twelve-petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, the twelve-petaled Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, the twelve-petaled White Lotus of Purification, and the twelve-petaled Black Lotus of Annihilation were successively introduced. The four innate lotus platforms revolved around the Azure Lotus of Creation, forming a dynamic of mutual generation of the five elements.

"The Five Elements return to their proper places, and the Four Symbols revolve!"

With Lin Xiao's command, the Eastern Azure Lotus Banner, the Southern Flame Banner, the Western Plain Cloud Banner, the Northern Profound Water Control Banner, and the Central Apricot Yellow Banner transformed into five streams of light and entered the cauldron. The five banners unfurled, stabilizing the earth, water, fire, and wind, and solidifying the space inside the cauldron.

"Not enough..."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Xiao's forehead as he continued to add treasures such as the Panlong Flat Cudgel, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Qingping Sword. With each addition, the Qiankun Cauldron trembled violently, and the runes on its walls lit up and then went out, as if it were enduring unimaginable pressure.

When the God-Slaying Spear was thrown in, a sudden change occurred. This ferocious weapon, which had slain countless lives, unleashed a terrifying killing intent, threatening to burst out of the cauldron. Lin Xiao groaned, blood seeping from his seven orifices, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"town!"

He summoned the Hetu and Luoshu, circulating the Yin and Yang energies to temporarily suppress the rampage of the God-Slaying Spear. He then poured in the treasures containing the laws of the world, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Book of Earth, the Book of Heaven, the Book of Man, and the Investiture of the Gods.

The last item was the "Map of Mountains and Rivers." As this scroll depicting the primordial world unfolded, the sky of the Origin World suddenly darkened. Countless stars went out simultaneously, as if making way for the supreme treasure about to be born.

"Smelt!"

Lin Xiao formed hand seals, and his inner power burned wildly. The chaotic fire within the Qiankun Cauldron surged, enveloping the twenty-two supreme treasures. Various colored lights intertwined and collided within the cauldron, emitting a deafening roar.

Just then, urgent bells rang out from outside Zixiao Palace. It was a warning signal—Azathoth had found the coordinates of the Source World!

Lin Xiao's heart tightened, but there was no time to stop. Once the process of refining the Chaos Green Lotus began, it could not be interrupted; otherwise, not only would all previous efforts be wasted, but the aftershocks of the explosion would be enough to destroy half of the Origin World.

"Hold on..." He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Qiankun Cauldron.

Inside the cauldron, the twenty-two treasures began to slowly fuse together, and the cauldron's body gradually transformed into materials that merged into it.

With the Creation Lotus as its core, it continuously absorbs the characteristics of other magical treasures.

Dragon patterns gradually emerged on the lotus platform, the edges of the lotus leaves were tinged with the dark red of the God-Slaying Spear, and silk ribbons resembling five-directional banners were wrapped around the lotus stem...

At this critical moment, the entire Zixiao Palace suddenly trembled violently. Lin Wan'er's urgent voice came from outside the palace: "Lin Xiao! Something terrible has happened! The barrier of the 'Source' world has cracked!"

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, but he dared not stop the hand seals in the slightest.

He sent out a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, and saw a black rift stretching across the sky in the "Source" world. Countless tentacles were emerging from the rift, frantically eroding the world's barrier, and black energy was invading from the rift.

“It’s Azathoth! He’s found us!” Nyx’s voice was filled with rare panic.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Xiao's forehead. If he stopped now, all his previous efforts would be in vain; if he continued refining, the entire world might be polluted.
