After meeting the newly ascended Void Emperors, Yu Zi Yu, too, chose to enter seclusion.

 

As for Uer and Tiya, Avril personally introduced them the rules and arranged palaces for their residence.

 

As Tier-6 Void Emperors, their standing in the Divine-Demon Continent was incomparably high, second only to one, yet above countless others. Their treatment was naturally impeccable.

 

Moreover, mindful of how monotonous the Void could be, Yu Zi Yu had introduced many amusements from the other side into the Divine-Demon Continent. Things such as Earth’s chess and card games, or even the internet. He had also brought rare and wondrous Spirit Flowers and Fruits

 

What appeared mundane to the cultivators of the universe became priceless treasures in the barren lands of the Void. Many Void creatures even came to blows over them.

 

Of course, it was precisely these things that drew numerous beings from distant reaches of the Void.

 

According to Avril, her aim was to transform the Divine-Demon Continent into the most prosperous hub of the Void.

 

In this way, even without summoning, endless Void Creatures would gather on their own accord.

 

Yu Zi Yu too agreed with this point.

 

Rather than forcibly subjugating them, it was far wiser to attract them.

 

And once they were here, persuading them to join was hardly difficult.

 

…

 

Smiling faintly, Yu Zi Yu cast his gaze across the Divine-Demon Continent.

 

[To think… this was once a desolate wasteland. Now, it feels like a flourishing world. Cities tower across the land, bustling with countless silhouettes. A brand-new Void Civilization is taking root. All of this… it owes much to them. To Avril, to the King of Knights, to the Void Creatures who were once denizens of the universe. They were the ones who brought a guiding light to this chaotic, disordered place. But… it’s clearly not the time to dwell on such matters.]

 

His lips curved into a smile, as Yu Zi Yu sought an isolated place and slipped into another Spacetime Dimension.

 

Here, once again, he sank into cultivation.

 

“It seems I’ve encountered a bottleneck…” Yu Zi Yu murmured helplessly.

 

After stepping into the Realm of Hegemony, his cultivation progressed at a snail’s pace.

 

However, he was powerless to do anything about it.

 

The Path of a Hegemon was far beyond Mortal comprehension. Its depth was so unfathomable that even an ocean could scarcely serve as comparison.

 

If the cultivation of an Overlord could be likened to a river, then the foundation of a Hegemon was akin to an endless sea: boundless and immeasurable.

 

Thus, the slowing of cultivation progress after reaching this realm was only natural.

 

It was not that the progress had slowed, but that the cultivation had become so profound that any advancement was difficult to perceive.

 

In the past, gaining around 10,000 units of Spiritual Energy would bring Yu Zi Yu immense improvement, but now, even amassing 100,000 units, or even a million units of Spiritual Energy were but ripples in the vast sea of his cultivation.

 

“At this point, aside from peerless Heaven and Earth Treasures, there is no other way. What remains is only the accumulation of time itself… Only through centuries or millennia of accumulation could there be any visible progress,” observation after observation escaped his lips, but Yu Zi Yu remained completely calm.

 

Even so, Yu Zi Yu would not allow himself to stop cultivating

 

Cultivation was like sailing against the current. One could either advance or be swept back.

 

In fact, if Yu Zi Yu missed even a single day of cultivation, he felt unsettled.

 

At this moment…

 

*Hoooo…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu transformed back into his True Form.

 

*Boooom, booooom, boooomm…* Terrifying rumbles filled this dimension, as root after root of Yu Zi Yu stretched forth. Each, like a True Dragon roaring toward the Heavens, burrowed endlessly into the depths of Space and Time.

 

At the same time, his branches, resembling divine chains, surged one after another into even deeper layers of Space and Time.

 

He carried the Supreme Chaotic Sea of Spacetime. His cultivation depended on the omnipresent fabric of Time and Space itself.

 

In other words… Yu Zi Yu now rooted himself at the very edges of Time and Space, stealing their mighty power to forge his own body.

 

*Boooooom…*

 

Another deafening rumble echoed through this Spacetime Dimension.

 

Lifting one’s gaze, one would see Yu Zi Yu’s roots and branches unceasingly stretching, spreading toward unfathomable depths of Time and Space.

 

Along with them, strands of silver-gray energy, neither pure silver nor pure gray, but both at once, traveled along his roots and branches, surging into his True Body.

 

At this moment, if one gaze upon Yu Zi Yu, they would see his figure growing ever more indistinct, shrouded in a hazy veil.

 

In the past, he used to be cloaked in starlight, and now, he was clad in Time and Space.

 

Though it might seem just a change of words, it marked a profound transformation in Yu Zi Yu’s very essence: an evolution of the Hierarchy of Life, and an ever more terrifying manifestation of his being.

 

…

 

Lost in cultivation, months passed as fleeting instants.

 

Before long, several months had already slipped away.

 

On this day, Yu Zi Yu stirred from his meditation, because a faint yet distinct calling had awakened him. “The Lord of Buddhist Sect wishes for an audience, hmm?”

 

With a soft chuckle, Yu Zi Yu, through a Spirit Leaf he had bestowed to Nine Tails, gleaned the intent behind the summons.

 

However, this matter was hardly urgent.

 

“Tell him, I am cultivating. It’s inconvenient to meet him now…” Through that mysterious connection, Yu Zi Yu conveyed his reply.

 

For a mere Tier-6 to request a meeting as he pleased, would that not diminish Yu Zi Yu’s dignity?

 

Making him wait a while was only proper.

 

More importantly, Yu Zi Yu’s cultivation had reached a critical juncture. Not his True Form, but another form of his, the Soaring Purple Dragon Form.

 

The Soaring Purple Dragon Form, under the guidance of the Supreme Principle of Infinity, had been cultivating for ages. Now, it had reached its threshold.

 

Whether it was its physical strength of Spiritual Energy accumulation, it was on the verge of surpassing the very limits of its realm.

 

What did it mean to surpass the very boundaries of a realm?

 

It meant that though it was still at Tier-6, both its physical strength and Spiritual Energy reserves had far exceeded that level.

 

Such was the terror of the Supreme Principle of Infinity.

 

To put it simply: the Supreme Principle of Infinity required no Tribulation, nor the burden of carrying the Chaos Sea of Spacetime.

 

If Yu Zi Yu’s body cultivated the Principle of Spacetime through his own guidance… then the Supreme Principle of Infinity guided its bearer itself, as if it actively transformed its bearer into a part of itself.

 

This was an extremely mysterious, inexplicable, unfathomable process, and therein lay the true dread of the Supreme Principle of Infinity.

 

Bearing the mark of Infinity, the Soaring Purple Dragon Form grew ever more terrifying in the depths of the Void.

 

The day this monster from the Void finally rears its head, it would become the most dreaded existence in the universe.
