In the courtyard, “It’s finally open,” Li Nianfan opened the bag of lamp oil. The plastic that had been on the lid had taken him a lot of effort to open.

Right after that, he poured the oil into the lamp.

The next moment, the swaying flame suddenly rose. Its brightness increased by at least ten times. The flames danced around, attracting everyone’s attention.

“It brightened, the lamp actually brightened!” Yang Jian cheered in his heart. He could feel like, with the lighting up of the fire, the lamp’s aura strengthened immensely, even if it did not change outwardly. It was like an impoverished world that found a new lease of life!

“That gray mist is rapidly dispersing!” Daji’s gaze turned serious.

She could feel all the gray mist within the boxes in the yard rapidly flowing onto the lamp, turning into smoke, the smoke was the purest of Wisdom that formed after cleansing the gray mist.

Fire Phoenix and the others noticed the aura within the courtyard rapidly changing. Every second, they could feel the environment becoming more and more suited to cultivation.

…

Beneath the golden lake, another massive hand appeared, extinguishing all hope.

Interference from a supreme being was enough to disregard any combat ability, turning the tides of battle. Fighting back would be futile.

Right at that moment, a bundle of flames appeared in the air.

It floated in front of the carving, as if it were incredibly light. It seemed to be a normal flame glowing in the air.

However, the two hands in the skies suddenly stopped.

Even though no one could see how the masters of the hands looked, everyone could feel a sense of fear from them. It was fear towards those flames!

Those flames seemed to contain the ancient universe. They contained the origins of countless worlds, exuding mysteriousness.

The flames felt like the first light of the universe, illuminating the birth of worlds. It gave birth to endless Wisdom. Its appearance within the golden lake gave birth to countless strange happenings. Divine beasts were born, roaring into the skies. Heavenly medicines let out a dense fragrance, and Wisdom inself surged forward…

All of the cultivators were like monks who found a true deity when they saw the flame. The cultivators witness true Wisdom, and immediately worshipped it.

“What kind of flame is this? It seems to contain complete Wisdom. No, it seems to be giving birth to Wisdom!”

Even supreme beings retreated. This flame is able to burn everything under the heavens!”

“Which expert made a move? IT’s so impressive!”

“Look, the supreme beings are retreating!”

…

There was so much discussion, but all of them let out cries of disbelief. They were shocked to their limits, especially when those massive hands disappeared.

The next moment, something even more shocking present.

Those two hands started to catch fire at the same time!

The flame did not seem to have any sound or shape. It seemed to have no destructive powers as it burned. Those two hands did not even touch it.

Yet, they were still ignited!

“No, this is the Flames of Wisdom. It’s formless and shapeless. We’re just witnessing it’s materialized appearance. It’s actually everywhere!”

“He underestimated that person’s resolves. We should not have touched his protectors. The Flames of Wisdom had been lit, and the battlefield is ignited again. No one can retreat!”

“Retreat!”

In the void, the two supreme beings’ conversation caused everyone to shake.

At the same time, the two massive hands descended, turning into nothing after being ignited. The two supreme beings had actually cut off their own arms to save themselves!

Everyone immediately felt a chill down their spines, not knowing what to say as they looked at the flame.

The flame continued to glow quietly.

In the skies, images appeared everywhere. Even old trees that were already wilted started to sprout again, exuding endless excellence as they birthed Wisdom Fruit after Wisdom Fruit. The divine soldiers that had lacked any luster unleashed a terrifying aura that sliced through the galaxy!

…

Under the heavens, countless images materialized. The power of Wisdom surged forth like a tide, causing the whole Origins Realm to level up. The starving Wisdom had a renewed life, showing shocking power.

It was not just under the gray mist, everywhere around the Origins World, strange things were happening.

“What’s happening? Why are so many ancient existences being reborn?”

“The Wisdom Awakening Tree is giving life, the Lake of Life is revealing itself again. Weren’t they all gone since ancient times?”

“The power of Wisdom is jumping. I can vaguely see the path forward slowly reforming!”

“Wisdom has started to come back again. What actually happened? Who did all this? Is the gray mist about to be suppressed?”

…

The happenings in the Origins Realm shocked countless cultivators. It was their first time feeling the power of Wisdom. It seemed to be announcing its return.

In the sun, the Chess Speaker and his companion were both missing a limb.

They were panting, and were shocked.

Their hands had been burned by Wisdom. It was probably never grow back again. Even if they were supreme beings, they’re lost hands were permanent. It was already good enough aht they’re still alive.

“Wisdom is coming back. He’s actually not dead from back then. The sake of a protector, he actually chose to light the flames of war!”

The other supreme being said angrily, “Chess Speaker, I was dragged down by you! I was just lending a hand, but I actually lost a whole arm!”

In the darkness, another voice could be heard, “Losing your hand is one thing. Compared to staying in this lightless sun, everything is worth it.”

“That’s right, the Flames of Wisdom have appeared, which means the restrictions on us have loosened. The two of them will be plunged into war again. Our plans are working out.”

“Are you looking for death? If he hadn’t betrayed Wisdom back then, Wisdom might not have lost. Yet, its final consciousness actually trapped all of us in the sun for countless years. Only with his return would they have the possibility of seeing the light of day again.”

Another voice was heard. It had some fear to it, but a pleased tone as well.

Back then, Wisdom split into two. One was the original one, and the other was the corruption. The cultivators from both sides constantly fought, causing heaven and earth to lose balance.

Yet, in the final balance, some of the original supreme beings fled in the face of danger. They ran to somewhere untainted, and planned on hiding. When Wisdom failed to completely cleanse the gray mist, both sides fell into silence.

Before the silence, that person caused the traitors to be eternally trapped in that clean land. They would never be able to see the sun, and live their lives in darkness.

Only through countless years did that figure reappear in the world. Their restrictions slowly lowered. Only until the Flames of Wisdom reappeared would they have a chance to escape their shackles.
