Chapter 384: The Newly Born Seven Realms

You You never expected this suddenly emerging world to be neither invasion nor foreign attack, but a new realm born from the origin itself – sharing the same roots as the Six Realms. Those cracks had formed due to this abrupt birth. The solution proved simple: merging it with the original realms.

All living beings in the Celestial Realm originally belonged to the Six Realms. Returning them posed no fundamental issue. Yet after centuries of growth, their numbers had become immense. Direct reintegration would cause chaos and inevitable conflicts.

Thus, she resolved to bring not just the inhabitants, but the entire Celestial Realm itself. It would form a seventh realm alongside the original six, separated by temporary barriers until gradual connections could be established. Once fully integrated and accepted by the Six Realms, these partitions would dissolve.

As for the cracks? They’d appeared when the origin’s attempt to return clashed with the Celestial Realm’s forced entry. Merging into seven realms would naturally erase them.

After consulting Feng Rong and Yuan Qi, You You exited the origin’s illusion and returned to Jingling Institute. The sisters there had collapsed from the origin’s pressure earlier.

Reviving them, she warned of impending changes without mentioning the origin. She instructed Earth Immortal-level cultivators to prepare for ascension. Merging would bring complete reincarnation cycles and Heavenly/Demonic Path regulations. The Jingling Institute’s many qualified cultivators would face lightning tribulations to forge celestial bones for Immortal Realm ascension.

This world lacked Heavenly Dao. Without tribulations, even True Gods with divine status eventually fell – lacking immortal or divine bodies. Tribulation lightning wasn’t merely trial, but essential for physical reforging. Ascension tribulations shattered spiritual forms while immortal power rebuilt them into eternal celestials.

No tribulations here meant even powerful cultivators remained spiritual entities with limited lifespans. Merging would impose Six Realms’ laws immediately. Jingling Institute’s Immortals faced multiple delayed tribulations.

"You needn’t fear the tribulations," Yuan Qi interjected. "This realm’s uniqueness permits rule adjustments. Tribulations will come, but milder than Mortal Realm’s. Nonevil cultivators should survive."

Standard ninefold tribulations couldn’t be reduced (bone reforging required), but intervals could stretch – three strikes every five days, perhaps. With decent comprehension (mandatory for Immortal-hood), survival seemed assured.

"Good!" Relief washed over You You. Immediate mass casualties could breed Six Realms resentment. Clever skeptics might stir trouble. Yuan Qi’s adjustments bought crucial transition time.

She briefed the sisters on essentials and left tribulation-handling guides. Though confused, they recorded everything and began preparations.

Departing swiftly, the trio returned effortlessly to Six Realms – perhaps because Feng Rong now held the origin. You You headed straight to Nether Realm’s Forgetting River source – the Six Realms’ origin core.

Beneath black skies, they faced the colossal golden tree whose branches connected all realms. Closing her eyes, You You visualized Six Realms’ state, focusing on crack-embedded spaces. Sensing familiar lives, she unleashed her power to drag out the wedged realm.

The Six Realms quaked. Divine and Demon Realms shifted sideways as Celestial-Mortal cracks widened. The Forgetting River tree stretched upward, revealing new land below Immortal Realm – the nascent Celestial Realm, dim and origin-deprived compared to golden-connected realms.

Golden branches swiftly networked through the new realm, reigniting its fading origin. You You exhaled in relief. Years of isolation had nearly exhausted the origin she’d once awakened. Any later, both would’ve vanished. The merger came just in time.
