In the vast and boundless Heart Realm Continent, near the ‘Black Prison Dark Sea,’ lies the expansive nation of Nanyun Kingdom.
Within Nanyun Kingdom, the city of Flaming Fury sprawls across billions of miles, teeming with countless cultivators and sects. A Cosmic Deity’s avatar slumbers here, standing guard, while the city lord, the ‘Flaming Fury Marquis,’ reigns as a mighty Chaos Realm sovereign.
At this moment…
Within the Flaming Fury Marquis’ estate, countless soldiers, servants, and retainers bustle about. In an unassuming courtyard, a young woman in green robes gently supports a pregnant woman as she reclines on a lounge chair.
“Mother, please rest. There’s no need to be upset with that maid,” the green-robed woman says softly.
The pregnant woman nods wearily, lying back as she tenderly strokes her slightly swollen belly.
Inside her womb…
A consciousness slowly stirs awake.
“Has my reincarnation succeeded?” Dongbo Xueying’s awareness gradually sharpens. Though his soul is currently weak, his spirit has long since reached the realm of ‘My Heart as Heaven’s Heart.’ Despite its fragility, the quality of his soul remains extraordinary, already clad in dharma robes. Typically, when a cultivator’s mental state ascends from the second to the third tier, anomalies manifest—uncontrollable fluctuations of soul energy that ripple outward, alerting nearby practitioners.
Yet Dongbo Xueying’s mastery over his soul is absolute. Not a wisp of aura escapes, and his self-perception is crystal clear.
“Indeed, my strand of true spirit has successfully reincarnated under the Heart Realm Continent’s supreme laws, perfectly merging with this new soul,” Dongbo Xueying muses, satisfied. Though his current soul is feeble compared to his former self, it still holds the peak of the Deity level—and his mental state remains at the third tier.
“And this body?”
He turns his focus inward, examining his tiny embryonic form. Limbs and features are already discernible. A glance downward reassures him—”Good, I’m male.”
With his memories intact, being reborn as a female would have been unbearable. He might have even forcibly altered his gender, but powerful cultivators can observe fetuses in the womb. If a fetus initially identified as female suddenly became male, suspicions would inevitably arise.
“This body’s vitality is astonishing. Even as an embryo, its life force rivals that of a World God,” Dongbo Xueying marvels silently. Though his physical form is only at the Deity level for now, it is still growing, destined to grow even stronger.
“Birth is still some time away. If this growth continues, I might emerge as at least a World God—perhaps even a True God?” The thought is staggering.
A True God at birth?
In his homeland, even in the Sacred World, newborns were typically only at the Transcendent level. Even the children of Cosmic Deities didn’t enter the world as True Gods.
“According to Yuan’s words, the Heart Realm Continent’s foundation runs far deeper than the Chaos Void’s,” Dongbo Xueying reflects. While bloodline plays a role in such embryonic strength, it can’t be the sole factor. After all, even Cosmic Deities’ offspring in the Chaos Void had to cultivate their way up. There must be secret arts at play.
Some voidborn creatures, for instance, emerge as Void Gods at birth, while weaker ones still begin as True God Sovereigns. Many researchers have sought ways to grant their descendants similar advantages—birth as True Gods or even Void Gods.
“Has the Heart Realm Continent perfected such a method?” Dongbo Xueying dismisses the thought for now. Once born, he’ll uncover these secrets soon enough.
“Inward observation.”
He meticulously examines his embryonic body.
With a soul at the ‘My Heart as Heaven’s Heart’ level, a mere glance from him could obliterate a True God Sovereign through sheer will alone. Now, turning that perception inward, he scrutinizes every detail of his form.
“My blood…” Delving deeper, he swiftly makes a discovery.
Within his blood, the particles are structured in intricate, three-dimensional patterns—some redundant, others foundational.
Among these patterns, some are vast and vivid, while others are minute and faint. Yet even the tiniest formations exude an ancient, profound aura, surpassing even the depths of his self-created Vermilion Nightmare Tenth Transformation or the Nine-Petal Annihilation Flower. The largest patterns, though clear, feel shallow—likely only at the Void God’s nascent or Unity realm.
His assessment is vague because he lacks familiarity with the Heart Realm Continent’s laws. He judges solely by intuition and experience.
“Bloodlines—multiple latent bloodlines,” Dongbo Xueying realizes with awe.
The bloodline cultivation system was already a vast framework in his homeland, and he had studied it briefly. This body harbors numerous dormant bloodlines.
Those with the most ancient, profound, and perfected auras—likely surpassing the ninth tier, belonging to Cosmic Deities—number eight in total. Yet they are faint, diluted across generations.
Conversely, the most prominent bloodline is comparatively weak.
“This body is well-suited for bloodline cultivation,” Dongbo Xueying muses with quiet delight. Bloodline cultivation is notoriously swift. His disciple, Xinghuo Xunyi, had effortlessly reached the Unity realm, thanks to his father, Emperor Xinghuo, a Chaos Realm expert whose potent bloodline flowed richly within him.
As for himself…
He leans toward the Cosmic Deity bloodlines. Though faint, his own profound understanding compensates. Even with this world’s vastly altered laws, his foundational knowledge ensures rapid progress. While mastering the new rule systems will be arduous, bloodline cultivation promises swift ascension.
“First, bloodline cultivation to amplify my strength. A stronger soul will accelerate my comprehension,” Dongbo Xueying strategizes.
Accustomed to the blazing speed of a Chaos Realm soul, his current Deity-level soul (albeit with a third-tier essence) feels sluggish by comparison.
Sharpening the axe won’t delay the chopping.
For him, bloodline cultivation is that axe—though its ceiling is the Chaos Realm.
“Now, to discern the differences between this world’s laws and my homeland’s.”
Supreme laws permeate all existence, even this embryonic form.
Though his past mastery was profound, the Heart Realm Continent’s laws are entirely foreign. He must begin anew.
“Void World, Space, Vibration, Slaughter…” He starts with what he knows best.
Originally, he had focused on Void World, Slaughter, and Vibration.
Yet his training in the Traveler’s Secret Treasures, the Ninecloud Emperor’s four scrolls, General Mogo’s scales, and his eons in the Maze Corridor had deepened his spatial insights. Strictly speaking, among his four pillars, Void World ranked first, Space second, Slaughter third, and Vibration fourth.
“Hmm…”
His meditation on the supreme laws lasts over half a month, leaving no doubts—only clarity.
