Sensing the floating spearhead within his storage bracelet, Dongbo Xueying’s emotions were complex at this moment.
Though he had reincarnated into the Heart Realm Continent, his heart still clung to his wife and children in the Chaotic Void. To him, the Chaotic Void was his true foundation! He had been striving relentlessly to enhance his strength—whether by molding himself into a peerless genius or joining the Nanyun Sacred Sect to acquire precious scriptures—all to accumulate his own reserves and increase his chances of becoming a Cosmos God.
Because…
Only by becoming a Cosmos God could he return home.
In Dongbo Xueying’s plan, once he mastered the ‘Doppelganger Technique,’ some of his avatars would return home while the rest remained in the Heart Realm Continent to seek opportunities for further growth. He needed to become stronger to face the Annihilation Demons, even hoping to slay the Sacred Master and find a way to avert the catastrophe of the Chaotic Void’s destruction.
As for the Heart Realm Continent, he had initially seen it merely as a land of opportunity for his growth. He intended to look after the Yingshan Clan and take care of his mother and sister—nothing more.
But now…
“Matriarch Yingshan,” Dongbo Xueying murmured silently.
Matriarch Yingshan was among the top-ranked kings of Nanyun Nation, an undisputed Tenth-Level Chaos Realm expert capable of battling Cosmos Gods! That was why she dared to clash fiercely with the Qianyi Clan of Yuehua Ancient Nation. Coupled with the protection of the Nanyun Monarch, the Qianyi Clan could do nothing against her.
“At her level, she probably never expected me to be of any help in the future,” Dongbo Xueying thought to himself.
After all, judging by his potential, outsiders likely only saw him reaching the Ninth-Level Chaos Realm as a king—at best.
As for the Tenth-Level Chaos Realm?
Far too difficult.
Only he knew he had a high chance of reaching the Tenth-Level Chaos Realm. Even so, that would merely put him on par with Matriarch Yingshan. As for becoming a Cosmos God? Dongbo Xueying was well aware that even in the Heart Realm Continent, this was no easy feat. The history of the Heart Realm Continent was far longer than that of the Chaotic Void, yet the number of Cosmos Gods remained exceedingly rare.
Take the Fan Clan’s Fan Tianchong, for instance—a peerless genius nurtured with the clan’s full resources, yet he only reached the Tenth-Level Chaos Realm.
“Did she never expect me to help her, simply because I am a descendant of the Yingshan Clan?” Dongbo Xueying mused silently.
The bond of blood.
Her care for all the younger generations of the clan.
Dongbo Xueying could sense Matriarch Yingshan’s selfless concern—a hope for her descendants to rise and achieve greatness.
“I won’t let you down,” Dongbo Xueying vowed silently, tucking this sentiment deep into his heart.

After the banquet, Dongbo Xueying returned to his estate.
Yingshan Liehu and Rong Xinglan were both in high spirits, brimming with joy.
“Father, Mother,” Dongbo Xueying said, “I plan to enter seclusion today. I’ve obtained many scriptures from the Nanyun Sacred Sect and need time to study them in peace. This seclusion may last quite a while.”
“We understand,” Yingshan Liehu nodded eagerly.
After all, he was about to be enfeoffed as a marquis.
“Yes,” Rong Xinglan also nodded quickly. Her son had already cleared the sixth level of the Yuanshen Palace. According to Nanyun law, clearing the seventh level would grant him the title of marquis!
“Zi Bai, Elder Tian,” Dongbo Xueying turned to his guards and instructed, “Unless it’s a matter of great importance, do not disturb me.”
“Understood.”
The demon servant Zi Bai and Tian Yizhi both acknowledged.
“Good.”
With that, Dongbo Xueying strode toward the Void God Tower.
Watching the white-robed youth enter the tower alone, the guards and servants couldn’t help but marvel. By the time their young master emerged, he would likely be a marquis. How terrifying… For him, even becoming a marquis seemed effortless. Could the rumors be true—that he might even ascend to kingship?

Inside the Void God Tower.
Seated cross-legged on a floating boulder, Dongbo Xueying felt a surge of excitement as he summoned the long spear. With a thought, the shaft and spearhead began to rotate, activating the intricate formations within. Soon, the two parts separated.
He stowed away the deep purple spearhead, which exuded a bloody, ferocious aura. Though it looked impressive, Dongbo Xueying cared little for it.
To him, the plain gray shaft was incomparably more valuable than the flashy spearhead.
“Finally.”
He then retrieved the spearhead gifted by Matriarch Yingshan.
“Hard-won,” Dongbo Xueying murmured, gazing at the equally unadorned spearhead. Only the distorted spatial ripples around its tip hinted at its extraordinary nature.
“Without the Matriarch, earning billions of cosmic crystals wouldn’t have been easy.” With another thought, he willed the two pieces together.
Hum.
The plain spearhead and shaft began to merge. As the connecting runes ignited, the two parts fused seamlessly. The entire spear’s patterns lit up, causing the surrounding void to tremble. A resonant hum echoed through the tower as the weapon—once wielded by the legendary Lord Chiyun—was restored to its former glory.
“Since it belonged to Lord Chiyun, I shall name it the Chiyun Divine Spear,” Dongbo Xueying declared silently.
He then channeled his consciousness into the spear, probing its depths.
Boom—
A vast, dark vortex staircase spiraled endlessly inward, splitting into three paths before converging at a single point.
Previously, Dongbo Xueying had studied the shaft and spearhead separately, reconstructing the complete patterns in his mind. Now, seeing the full design, he realized the fusion was even more perfect than he had imagined.
“Time to break through first,” Dongbo Xueying laughed, his resolve firm.
Boom!
His Void lineage surged, propelling him past the Unity Realm into the Chaos Realm. Above him, a vortex of cosmic energy formed, pouring endless power into his body. His physique and bloodline evolved, reaching the Chaos Realm level. His Void lineage now matched that of a Chaos Realm expert, with even his Cosmos God-level lineage significantly enhanced. Yet this also meant his path of bloodline cultivation had reached its limit.
A Cosmos God, under the Rule-Oblivion system, could command the complete laws of a universe!
Each Cosmos God, even those following the same path, achieved unique heights.
Take the Ninecloud Emperor and the Void Progenitor—both walked the path of Void, yet their differences were vast. Similarly, the Nanyun Monarch and Lord Chiyun also pursued Void, yet all four were distinct.
Thus, while one could learn from predecessors, the final step had to be taken alone.
Cosmic laws.
Unaffected by the Supreme Rules, a complete cosmic law was self-contained, functioning universally—whether in the Chaotic Void or the Heart Realm Continent.
Unlike lower realms, where his Illusory Realm and Void insights were heavily influenced upon entering a new source world, forcing him to start anew.
The lower the realm, the greater the impact of the Supreme Rules.
Cosmos God laws stood independent of them.
As for beings like the Sacred Master, their ambitions soared even higher.
“Boom—”
As his body ascended, Dongbo Xueying’s soul also grew exponentially under the nourishing energy. He glanced down at the spear in his hand.
Though he had broken through to the Chaos Realm, he had no intention of revealing it yet.
In his plan, this seclusion would last eons. By the time he emerged, he could claim it took him hundreds of millions of years to reach the Chaos Realm—still within the bounds of a peerless genius. Breaking through in just five million years would be far too monstrous.
As long as he stayed hidden, no one would know!
His immediate breakthrough was to strengthen his soul. A Chaos Realm soul cultivated at a pace incomparably faster than a Unity Realm one.
“When I emerge, I can finally reveal my true strength—no more concealment,” Dongbo Xueying thought with quiet determination.
