His Dao path linked the worlds together, serving as a bridge between them.
Thank you readers!
Living beings remained scarce across these worlds.
For now, solely the initial world boasted creatures who had forged civilizations and begun their cultivation journey.
Yet, it was merely a question of time before others followed suit, with more beings stepping onto the cultivation path.
Chu Xuan chose not to meddle.
!!
He let these worlds develop and change on their own.
Upon reaching the Devata Realm, Chu Xuan gained insight into the void region's creation.
Indescribable laws shaped the void region, resembling a blank sheet yet harboring core principles.
Nothingness birthed all forms of life.
Supreme laws and Great Dao alike sprang from nothingness, as did every existence.
It marked the origin of all things.
From nothingness emerged the Heavenly Sun World and the chaos.
So, what exactly was the system's nature?
Curiosity stirred in Chu Xuan. Now in the Devata Realm, he inquired once more about the system's origins.
“The system is the beginning of everything. It can create everything, transcend nothingness, and has no end…”
This time, details emerged for Chu Xuan. The system transcended the void region and its governing laws!
Moreover, it knew no bounds, implying perpetual growth and enhancement. Consequently, Chu Xuan too would advance endlessly alongside it.
While other cultivators hit the end of their paths, struggling desperately for new ones with uncertain success, Chu Xuan could lean on the system to forge ahead, unveiling fresh cultivation avenues effortlessly.
Having ascended to the Devata Realm, invincibility was his. From this point forward, it would endure eternally.
In that instant, visions of his prior life's universe and his traversal to this world flashed before Chu Xuan.
That universe existed somewhere within the void region.
Under mysterious conditions, it had formed as a domain of the void.
A supreme treasure?
Earth amounted to a mere speck amid that vast universe.
At one pivotal moment, the system merged with Chu Xuan’s soul, piercing the void region to enter Xuan Qiu’s body, leading to his birth amid the chaos.
From birth, memories of his previous life had awakened within him.
Chu Xuan had surpassed the constraints of his past and present existences. Karma no longer bound him, untouched by bygone days or tomorrows, immune to time's relentless wear.
Venturing into the void region would not dissolve him into nothingness via its laws.
With profound depth in his gaze, Chu Xuan traced the karmic threads of his dual lives. His sight pierced through the boundless void.
A faint light speck appeared in the infinite void—the universe of his past.
Yet, it had transformed utterly.
The tiny blue planet, once dust-like, had vanished long ago.
Chu Xuan felt only mild curiosity.
No life lingered in that universe; its civilizations had crumbled into oblivion.
It now stood as a supreme treasure, drifting silently in the void like a luminous pearl.
Should none claim it, this universe pearl would soon hollow out in mere years—rising from nothingness, destined to revert to it.
Its fortune had run dry, lacking the strength to persist eternally in the void region.
Chu Xuan withdrew his gaze. The universe pearl eclipsed even a Dao Supreme Ruler’s treasures, rivaling the void pearl itself. Still, it failed to stir his desire.
Instead, he intended for one of his disciples to claim it.
The void pearl had likely originated as a universe too, snatched by Hao as it edged toward nothingness.
Chu Xuan produced the Heavenly Dao Seed.
Perfectly round, it exuded a transcendent aura.
One look revealed the myriad worlds evolving inside, brimming with infinite Great Daos, boundless creation energy, and vibrant life force.
The void region stretched infinitely. Even at the Devata Realm, Chu Xuan could not glimpse its boundaries.
He suspected the void held no true end.
His eyes lifted skyward.
Hao had no place to conceal himself.
Hao, now formless and unseen, sheltered his consciousness within the Void Pearl. Positioned at the Heavenly Sun World's fringe, his awareness spanned its entirety.
Indeed, part of his consciousness even sought to encompass the chaos.
Yet, the void pearl's restrictions prevented it from encompassing the chaos. Moreover, with Cheng obliterated by Chu Xuan, his capacity to monitor the chaos had been nearly eradicated.
His void pearl had seized control over the transcendent laws of the Heavenly Sun World, with the sun serving as their embodiment.
This sun stood as one of Hao’s incarnations too. Protected by the void pearl, he endured in the void region without dissolving into oblivion.
Through this setup, he manipulated the denizens of the Heavenly Sun World, watched over the emergence of the new world, grasped superior realms of insight, and forged a fresh path ahead.
Matching the might of a Minor Heavenly realm expert, bolstered by the void pearl, he remained impervious even to a late-stage Minor Heavenly realm powerhouse, capable of shifting into a near-nothingness form.
That explained why Chu Xuan failed to sense its presence prior to his Devata realm breakthrough.
...
Though Hao held the title of Dao Supreme Ruler, his power vastly outstripped fellow Dao Supreme Rulers.
He had refined his Dao Supreme Ruler realm to flawless perfection, reaching its utmost limit.
Flaws plagued all other Dao Supreme Rulers, some stemming from Hao's schemes. Innate weaknesses afflicted certain ones, while Hao deliberately engineered others through gaps in the paths to the Dao Supreme and Dao Supreme Ruler realms.
This very imperfection left them powerless against him.
Even chaos-born cultivators fell under this influence.
For any chaos cultivator seeking the Dao Supreme Realm breakthrough, entry into the Heavenly Sun World was mandatory to balance their Yin and Yang. Upon arrival, they inevitably brushed against Hao’s consciousness, succumbing to his subtle sway in the process.
Chu Xuan gazed upon the sun, Hao’s incarnation.
Within it congregated the origin essence reaped relentlessly from experts by Hao.
Purely in terms of might, it rivaled a middle-stage Minor Heavenly realm expert.
One could only fathom the sheer number of experts Hao had culled to amass such a horrifying hoard of origin essence.
Additionally, the sun devoured energy to sustain Hao’s presence and power the void pearl.
It even fostered the Heavenly Sun World’s prodigies.
Hence, Chu Xuan envisioned the burning hatred Hao inspired among Heavenly Sun World and chaos experts alike. They toiled in cultivation, conquering myriad obstacles to claim the summit, only to be slaughtered and harvested like mere livestock.
Who could endure such a fate?
Across endless cycles of eras, this grim harvest built up the origin essence to its current enormity.
How tragic!
Those prodigies and powerhouses suffered unbearably.
Such a devious villain!
Chu Xuan pictured the heartbreak and resentment gripping those unparalleled geniuses and Dao Supreme Rulers upon uncovering the awful reality.
That drove their united stand against him this time around—one of countless such rebellions.
With a mere flicker of intent, Chu Xuan could erase Hao.
Still, he held back.
The new world’s birth unfolded, and the Dao Supreme Rulers would strike anew shortly.
An epic spectacle loomed on the horizon.
