"Looks like I don't really have a choice," Xiao Yan said with a helpless sigh. According to the World Will, he was a native of a lower plane and should, by all logic, have been under the protection of the World Will. Yet somehow, he had ended up being singled out—rejected by the very heavens.
The title sounded impressive, sure, but the consequences of being rejected by heaven and earth were anything but glorious. Just the issue of spiritual energy absorption alone was enough to give him a headache. He had always talked about defying the heavens, but never truly planned to put that into action—now it seemed he'd been forced into it.
"Since you've made your choice, allow me to lend you a hand… and bestow upon you a great fortune," the World Will said as it gently tapped a finger to Xiao Yan's forehead. Before he could react, Xiao Yan suddenly felt his Sovereign Sea begin to boil violently!
Ever since ascending to the Great Thousand World and having his Dou Qi converted into spiritual energy, the Sovereign Sea had become his reservoir—much like the Dou Crystal in the Dou Qi Continent or the Yuan Core in the Tianxuan Continent. Only now, its power and capacity were magnitudes greater. So when the Sovereign Sea boiled, it essentially meant his spiritual energy was rioting—and even Xiao Yan struggled to endure the pain.
"Normally, when a Sovereign breaks into the Earth Sovereign realm, their Sovereign Sea fuses with their physical body. The original sea vanishes, and every inch of flesh and blood becomes a vessel for energy. But you're different. You're being rejected by the heavens and earth—your Sovereign Sea cannot merge with your body. So under normal circumstances, you would never be able to reach the Earth Sovereign realm."
Xiao Yan's heart trembled at those words. He hadn't realized that the consequences of this rejection were so severe. He had been only a year away—at most—from attempting the Earth Sovereign breakthrough. If he hadn't encountered the World Will, he might have slammed into a wall with no hope of advancement. That would've been a fate worse than death.
"That's why we need to take drastic measures—to remodel your Sovereign Sea and restore its functionality. The process will be incredibly painful, but you must endure it. If you fail… your end will be miserable." The World Will's voice echoed grimly through Xiao Yan's mind.
At the same time, he felt the spiritual energy in his Sovereign Sea surge at a speed visible to the naked eye. A misty, cyan-colored fog rose from the surface of the sea, slowly spreading and sinking into his flesh. The instant it made contact with his body, the pain intensified by a hundredfold. Bloody fissures appeared all over his skin, fresh blood gushing forth.
'At this rate, my body might fall apart before it finishes…' Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, activating the Flame Mantra while pushing his Eternal Void Demon Body to its limits. He had to ensure his physical form wouldn't collapse. As the Sovereign Sea was gradually vaporized, Xiao Yan's face grew paler by the second. When the very last drop of liquid spiritual energy vanished, he finally couldn't hold on—blood sprayed from his mouth.
But then, something miraculous happened.
In the space where the Sovereign Sea once existed, now entirely enveloped in cyan mist, a lotus began to bloom—elegant and cyan in color. It looked very much like the Green Lotus Platform he had obtained in the past, yet the aura it emitted was far more terrifying than most divine relics!
The lotus slowly spun. Each petal was inscribed with profound and mysterious markings—not made by man, but etched by the heavens themselves, radiating the rhythm of the Great Dao.
'A cyan lotus…' Xiao Yan stared in awe. This lotus had completely replaced his Sovereign Sea. Though it was far smaller in size, he could clearly sense the immense vitality and pure world energy it contained.
"This is the fortune I promised you," the World Will said with a faint smile. "Formed from the complete destruction and remolding of your Sovereign Sea using the power of the world itself. With it, you no longer need to worry about the slow absorption of spiritual energy due to your rejection. In fact, as long as you're not killed instantly, it will continuously repair your body—even from the brink of death."
"In that case, I'll call it the Creation Green Lotus," Xiao Yan said. With a flick of his hand, a radiant fire lotus formed instantly. He could feel the spiritual energy within him flowing endlessly. In the past, condensing such a ten-colored fire lotus would've consumed more than half of his energy reserves. Now… it barely cost him ten percent.
With this, even if he faced an Earth Sovereign-level foe, he wouldn't necessarily fall behind in terms of spiritual power. Whether in quantity or quality, his spiritual energy was now on par with a true Earth Sovereign. This Creation Green Lotus had completely patched up one of his greatest weaknesses.
"This is the first gift I've given you," the World Will said. "Now, here's the second. Pay close attention—watch with wide eyes and remember everything you see."
With that, it snapped its fingers.
In an instant, everything around Xiao Yan vanished—not just the space, but the World Will itself disappeared. Only a vast, endless void remained.
Though Xiao Yan had experienced the void before, this time was different. For reasons unknown, an overwhelming fear crept into his heart. As he struggled to suppress the dread rising within him, a faint white glow flickered within the void.
It was a small speck of light—barely noticeable—but it radiated an intense heat. So intense, in fact, that it far surpassed even his Emperor Flame by billions of times!
Stunned by the heat, Xiao Yan stared in disbelief—only for the light speck to suddenly explode.
Blinding brilliance erupted in all directions. Xiao Yan instinctively wanted to shut his eyes—but he recalled the World Will's instruction and forced them open, enduring the sharp pain as he locked his gaze onto the dazzling light.
The light quickly expanded.
And then… countless elements began to form in the heat and brilliance, gathering together to create a sphere—rough and uneven—floating in the void.
And that was just a single second of its expansion.
In the blink of an eye, countless similar spheres began forming—large and small, each with unique forms. Others might not have recognized what they were seeing, but Xiao Yan stood frozen.
Because he understood exactly what he was witnessing from the moment the first sphere appeared.
It was the beginning of the universe itself.
