Power of Runes Chapter 516: World Creation
Previously on Power of Runes...
BOOM!!!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the Inner Universe as the black sphere violently expanded, releasing an unimaginable pressure that swept through the endless space like a giant wave.
The countless Runic Symbols engraved upon its surface suddenly lit up before leaving the sphere one after another, revolving around it continuously.
At the same time, the World Energy that had been compressed to its absolute limit burst out all at once.
The sphere expanded at a terrifying speed.
One kilometer.
A hundred kilometers.
A thousand kilometers.
Ten thousand...
A hundred thousand...
Its size continued increasing without showing any signs of stopping, growing larger and larger until even the nearby bundles of World Energy looked tiny beside it.
Only after several long moments did the expansion finally stop, revealing a gigantic World quietly floating within the endless darkness of the Inner Universe.
Its size was nearly a hundred times greater than an ordinary mortal’s Inner World and almost ten times larger than the Inner Worlds of Angels and Devils, making it so enormous that it was difficult to believe it had just been born.
The entire World was crimson-brown in color, with nothing but endless barren land covering its surface.
Huge cracks naturally spread across the ground in every direction, some stretching for thousands of kilometers before disappearing into the distance, while not a single drop of water, blade of grass, or sign of life could be found anywhere.
It was a newborn World.
Nothing more.
As the World quietly floated within the Inner Universe, the countless Runic Symbols slowly drifted away from its surface and began revolving around it.
Every Runic Symbol was incredibly small, but their numbers were simply too many to count.
Before long, they formed many golden rings around the World, revolving endlessly like tiny satellites revolving around the world
From afar, the lonely crimson-brown World surrounded by those golden rings was an unforgettable sight.
As the Runic Symbols continued revolving around the World, the violent fluctuations left behind by its birth gradually faded away.
Then, from one of the countless cracks covering the barren land, a tiny green sprout slowly emerged, surrounded by a gentle and abundant Life Aura.
Its appearance brought a subtle change to the entire World.
The change was slow, almost impossible to notice at first, yet it was undeniably there.
As the tiny sprout continued to grow, the World became calmer with every passing moment, steadily moving toward complete stability.
The sprout continued growing until it was no bigger than a small plant that could fit inside a flower pot before finally coming to a stop.
At that very moment, the World reached complete stability.
The remaining World Energy was gradually absorbed by the tiny World Tree until not a single trace remained.
With the excess energy gone, the enormous Inner World finally settled into complete stability.
{Hmm... that was a little tricky, but everything went smoothly in the end. Now, it’s finally time for the real trial...}
Eva quietly muttered as she looked at the newly born World.
Creating such an enormous World had been far more difficult than she had expected.
The World Energy had been rampaging in every direction from beginning to end, and controlling that chaotic power while shaping the World had required an unbelievable amount of precision.
Fortunately, that part was easy for her, but she doubted anyone else could do such a thing at Demi God rank.
Leaving that aside.....
What truly mattered now was the attempt to evolution the World Tree.
Eva lowered her gaze toward the tiny World Tree.
It had only grown to the size of a small potted plant, yet everything that happened from this point onward would depend on luck.
Without wasting another moment, she activated the skill.
[Evolution]
...
...
{Hmm... Nothing is happeni...}
Before Eva could finish her words, an intense white light suddenly erupted from the tiny World Tree, instantly engulfing everything.

[Amelia POV]
"I hate my dreams."
Amelia muttered as she watched the falling droplets of water, the dark clouds hanging in the sky, and the cold wind slipping through the half-open window carrying the scent of wet earth into the room.
After losing consciousness because of her dreams 10 years ago, everything had started to fall apart for her.
When she finally woke up, the world was no longer the one she remembered.
Neither were the people around her.
Funnily enough, or perhaps luckily enough, the only familiar face she found after waking up was Melissia Ravenscroft.
Her grandfather was nowhere to be found, every artifact he had given her to contact him had become completely useless, and despite searching for a long time, she had never found even the slightest trace of him.
Since then, ten long years had passed, yet he had never once contacted her.
Amelia had no answers, and truthfully, she had long since stopped looking for them.
"Ugh... I wish I could sleep for just one night without having those dreams. They always leave me with a headache..."
Over the past decade, the power of Fate within her had grown stronger and stronger, causing the dreams she experienced every night to become clearer than ever before.
They constantly showed her fragments of the future, or rather, one of the countless futures that could eventually come to pass.
However, seeing the future never meant it would definitely happen, because the future was always changing, and no one understood that better than Amelia herself.
The reason behind those changes was someone she knew all too well.
Ash Burn.
Although she knew who he was and possessed knowledge that countless people desperately wanted, she had never once considered revealing his information.
As someone capable of seeing the future, she understood better than anyone how powerless that ability truly was, because there was nothing more frustrating than witnessing a terrible future while being completely unable to change it.
Yet Ash was different.
Time and time again, he had overturned futures that should have been inevitable, proving that even fate itself could be challenged, and because of that, Amelia had no intention of becoming the reason another possible future disappeared.
In a way, his existence was a blessing or may be a curse too.
Because....she has also seen a happy ending becoming a bad one, but she can’t judge whether it was a good change or a bad one.
After all, Amelia had long since lost all interest in involving herself with the affairs of the outside world.
Her abilities were unreliable, and without Melissia Ravenscroft’s recommendation, she would have never been able to secure a position at the Eden Realm Academy.
Although she was only an assistant professor, it was more than enough for her because, she had finally found a place where she truly belonged.
She slowly pulled her gaze away from the rain outside before looking around her quiet quarters.
The room was neither large nor luxurious, but it was clean, comfortable, and more than enough for someone who spent most of her time either teaching or buried beneath endless books.
A neatly made bed rested against one wall, while a polished wooden desk stood beside the window, its surface covered with neatly arranged books, research papers, and several unfinished lesson plans.
Wooden shelves stretched along the walls, packed with books on magic, history, divination, and Fate, while several palm-sized crystal devices rested quietly among them, releasing a faint blue glow that illuminated the room and kept it comfortably warm despite the cold weather outside.
A wardrobe occupied one corner of the room, while a small sofa and a round tea table filled another, adding a little warmth to the otherwise quiet space, and although the room was simple in every way, Amelia honestly couldn’t ask for anything more.
Ten years ago, Melissia brought Amelia to the Ravenscroft Family as she had no where else to go.
Although the Ravenscroft Family at that time was considered nothing more than an insignificant ant in that new Realm. But, everything changed because of Melissia as time passed.
Through her own efforts over the past decade, she shattered what everyone believed to be common sense and reached the Celestial God Rank in record time, a realm that stood above the Celestial Rank.
Coupled with the overwhelming boost provided by her awakened Bloodline, she single-handedly raised the once insignificant Ravenscroft Family into one of the Top 50 Clans, standing just below the Supreme Clans.
The Supreme Clans were families that possessed at least one Supreme among their ranks, and to countless cultivators, that realm was nothing more than an impossible dream.
Since ancient times, only around a hundred people had ever stepped into the Supreme Rank, and among them, the number who were still alive today could be counted with just two hands.
