Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 528: Half-Step Dominator Realm, Third-Step Quasi-Dominator

Following the total annihilation of the Seven Stars Divine Demon, the world underwent an immense and rapid expansion.

Its boundaries stretched into infinity. An overwhelming surge of Chaotic Energy began to transition into softer, more stable forms, acting as the foundation for the world's burgeoning size.

Tiny worlds sprouted along the fringes of the Seven Stars Great World, eventually severing their connection to grow autonomously while absorbing Chaotic Energy from the void.

Thus, a comprehensive world cluster was established.

Diverse natural rules were forged, and laws transitioned into autonomous evolution, breathing existence into matter and life itself.

The initial traces of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth began to foster living beings, while the intersection of Yin and Yang energies manifested various Primordial Sacred Embryos.

The Heavenly Dao of this realm unified, establishing its role as the governing architect of operations.

Everything followed the Seven Stars Divine Demon’s blueprint, though as Fate and chaos unfolded, the path drifted toward the unforeseen.

Su Yuan acted as the Little Chaos in its entirety.

Every alteration within was a testament to the growth of Dao Principles and the unfolding of Chaos Dao Intent.

The creation of this world necessitated the consumption of Chaotic Energy, granting the Little Chaos the capacity to inhale once more.

Like a flicker of nothingness, the void surged into endless Chaotic Energy, inundating the chaos.

This fresh Chaotic Energy had not yet been ravaged or weakened by Great Dao Life Forms, and thus retained immense destructive potential.

However, the Seven Stars Great World had reached a state of stability, rendering it durable enough to withstand the corrosive nature of the Chaotic Energy and continuously breaking it down to fuel its own expansion.

Su Yuan continued to burn through Chaos Jade to hasten the evolution of the Little Chaos.

A sudden acceleration of time occurred.

Life erupted in waves within the world.

The early cohort of Primordial Sacreds, alongside the Primordial Gods and Demons brought forth by the lingering strength of the twelve Great Dao Divine Demons, established themselves as the core of the Seven Stars Great World.

Driven by strife, they obliterated one another, dismantling Primordial Energy and significantly speeding up the ingestion of Chaotic Energy.

Su Yuan observed that as the population of living things crossed a specific threshold, a Kalpa was triggered.

A vast multitude of beings met their end, their passing instantly refining the world's incomplete rules and laws. Consequently, the Seven Stars Great World expanded once more, absorbing a colossal quantity of Chaotic Energy.

At this moment, Su Yuan's Little Chaos finished its third breath.

The subsequent expansion of the Little Chaos amplified the power channeled back to Su Yuan.

Yet, by this juncture, the total amount of Chaos Jade Su Yuan had expended already reached eight thousand units.

It surprised Su Yuan that the development of the Little Chaos demanded such a staggering investment of his origins.

"What is my current standing, I wonder?"

Su Yuan delved into a contemplative deduction.

A Chaos Dominator is defined as a practitioner who has successfully forged an independent chaos while grasping a fragment of the Chaos Great Dao.

Su Yuan stood as a Half-step Chaos Dominator. Though he had birthed a Little Chaos, he remained incapable of enduring alone within the "Nothingness." In simpler terms, his mastery of the Chaos Great Dao was still incomplete.

His projections suggested that once his Little Chaos achieved eight to nine breaths, it would possess the resilience to withstand "Nothingness."

Therefore, he could be classified in the "Third-step Quasi-Chaos Dominator Realm"!

"All three evolutions of my Little Chaos have unfolded without obstruction, and my hold on the Chaos Great Dao has remained stable. However, had an evolution faltered, I would have been compelled to restart entirely, wouldn't I?"

This concern was exactly why Su Yuan chose not to interfere with the natural trajectory of his Little Chaos. He had witnessed the Chaos Flower blossom to reveal the Seven Stars Chaos; the entire phenomenon essentially defied external manipulation, as a perfect Chaos Dao Path possesses the power to evolve toward success autonomously.

This was the lesson in creation Su Yuan had learned: true mastery lies in non-action.

"I am curious how other Quasi-Chaos Dominators manage their development. If they receive direct mentorship from a Chaos Dominator, their progress must be far more efficient than my solitary exploration!"

Elsewhere.

Wudaizi met with an avatar of Wuyazi.

"Ancestor, I offer my humble greetings!" Wudaizi bowed.

Wuyazi gestured dismissively, noting, "Your performance has been adequate. Do you harbor any doubts or contemplations?"

A glimmer of hope energized Wudaizi, who replied with deep reverence, "Ancestor, my Little Chaos has reached the second phase. Yet, I find myself stalled, unable to seamlessly remove the Great Dao Divine Demons and forge the Great World. I implore you for your guidance, Ancestor!"

"Show me what you have," Wuyazi instructed.

Wudaizi immediately manifested the internal realm of his Little Chaos so that Wuyazi might evaluate it.

Inside, Wuyazi witnessed over ten Great Dao Divine Demons already in existence. Furthermore, each of these Divine Demons had cultivated their own separate worlds. Following an extensive period of maturation, they had processed the Chaotic Energy and completed their second breath.

At this point, however, the Great Dao Divine Demons had become a bottleneck, hindering the world's potential rather than facilitating it.

"Previously, I chose to influence the Little Chaos's evolution directly, yet it eventually regressed during the fourth stage, forcing me to begin the cycle anew. This time, I offered only subtle guidance, choosing to limit my interference," Wudaizi lamented.

Wuyazi responded, "The maturation of the Little Chaos isn't about you manually constructing it. It centers on your comprehension of Chaos Dao Principles throughout the evolving process. Excessive meddling will only cloud your understanding of these principles. However, total inaction is equally detrimental, as the evolution of chaos needs a direction to follow!"

He paused, studying Wudaizi's Little Chaos, and queried, "How many attempts have you made?"

"This is my thirty-seventh," Wudaizi admitted with a bashful expression.

"Hmm, that is not an excessive number. Your current progress is promising. These Great Dao Life Forms have already fulfilled their primary purposes. It would be wise to nudge them toward mutual destruction, ensuring their essences merge into their respective worlds to manifest a Divine Demon Great World. The nuance of this method is for you to master yourself!"

Wudaizi hesitated before asking, "Am I permitted to recruit disciples from the Dao Court? Could I entrust the growth of the world to these cultivators who already possess significant power?"

"Whether you utilize cultivators, travelers of chaos, Sons of Fortune, or even Chosen Ones of Destiny, these are merely tools for intervention. The decision rests on your own judgment," Wuyazi said with detachment.

Wudaizi sighed quietly, "The refinement of the Little Chaos is an incredibly arduous endeavor!"

"Success cannot be achieved in a single bound. The path to becoming a Chaos Dominator is fraught with extreme difficulty. Even with inherited wisdom, one must advance incrementally. Shed your anxiety. Should this gambling duel prove favorable, I will bestow one-tenth of the spoils upon you," Wuyazi said calmly.

Wudaizi’s pulse quickened with excitement. This was a high-stakes duel between Chaos Dominators, and the prizes invariably included Chaos Jade. He could leverage such a reward to force the rapid cultivation of his own Little Chaos.

Instantly, he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his ancestor’s objectives.
