[Extra Reward 01: 50 upgrade points.]
[Extra Reward 02: Access to the menu of celestial miracles.]
’Heaven’s Will must be kidding.’ Alm briefly read the mission and roared in fury.
Bruno sighed, calmly observing the reflection of his new body. Then, he tried to analyze it coolly. ’We’ve been turned into a dagger... a very small one. Its blade is made of an unknown grayish metal that looks rusty... well, where’s the summary?’
The green confirmation screen appeared, and they both quickly accepted.
[This planet is a unique place in this universe; it’s called the Imperial Planet. It’s where the highest density of Qi in this universe is accumulated, home to the greatest cultivators. There is something hidden and strange here. In various points, places known as ’Sacred Mountains’ were well known to all. The place emanates a power where anyone attempting to enter would die.]
[This place is not something natural; it was created by the queen millions of years ago. Each mountain is a tomb. A point where countless figures with cultivation in the Immortal Realm, who reached this level naturally, were captured and sealed.]
[The queen doesn’t waste resources. In numerous universes, she used these figures, and their divine souls became fertilizer for the universe. Her goal was one. With such nourishment, a few universes could give birth to unique and unexpected things. And in this universe, she succeeded.]
[On a beautiful day, this universe received hidden help from a missionary, and then an apocalypse happened, marking the place as the hero’s downfall day. Everything unfolded perfectly, and the queen’s influence was cut off. After that, two women linked to the missionary took control of the place, preventing enemy infiltration.]
[The queen leaves these tasks in the hands of her heroes, and strange things naturally happen, so without her direct influence, it would take millennia for everything to resolve. But the ’hidden help’ proved to be a complete idiot and made his actions clear. Soon, the queen decided to act. Very soon, the two women will be captured; the queen has methods to uncover many secrets of the missionary through them.]
[The queen even created a new hero, but the two Divine Fairies killed him in an epic battle. This happened not long ago, so the queen decided to send the Divine Inquisitors. As time passes differently in this universe, it will take a week. So, defeat them and stop this before the queen’s troops arrive.]
Alm and Bruno absorbed the information seriously, recalling the world of "soul gems" they had encountered earlier. The emergence of something so unique and strange in that universe must have been meticulously planned by the queen, similar to what they were facing now. (Chapter 67)
They knew they were the only active missionaries of the Heaven’s Will, as Mihkriel would take a long time to recover. For Alm and Bruno, everything seemed clear: the missionary and the events must have happened a long time ago. The queen must have obtained the information recently, but not knowing that only they existed, she took all these measures. The type of information the queen can obtain by capturing the two women is a mystery, but for the Heaven’s Will, it was of utmost importance to prevent it.

’All the effort to save that place... and now a damn missionary who did the same here, messed everything up,’ grumbled Alm. ’Now we have to clean up his mess and join the resistance, which is probably the side of the queen’s worshippers. This is just ridiculous.’
’It’s necessary; the queen probably ordered an invasion here to capture them. We have little time. If the queen’s worshippers manage to kill them before the inquisitors arrive, everything will be covered up,’ Bruno concluded calmly.
Alm huffed and continued, ’Now we have some new information. Cultivation above the divine realms is the immortal realms. Everyone who reaches it possesses divine souls, becoming immortal.’
With a better understanding of the situation, the two turned their attention to their new ’body.’ They tried to analyze everything they could feel. At the tip of the blade, they felt physically tethered to something.
Alm noticed something subtle. ’It’s a gentle death Yin. We’re anchored to the skeleton of the sealed figure. Everything is connected to it, this dagger and the seal’s core. By the presence of Yin and the absence of his presence, he’s dead; it seems he found a way to kill himself.’
’The Heaven’s Will always puts us in the place of something that has already died, probably to not leave too obvious evidence. It was like this in all the main missions. Him managing to kill himself was the opportunity for us to enter here in his place,’ Bruno added.
After some time, they found themselves in a peculiar situation. The blade was made of metal intended to seal immortal cultivators, possessors of a divine soul like theirs. Naturally, they couldn’t use their souls in any way. Those who were sealed in this place now were them...
’With no Qi, we can’t use any technique. How are we going to solve this?’ Bruno pondered, tense.
So, they searched through everything they had at their disposal. It didn’t take long for them to find a rune in their souls, which seemed almost inert. It was the spatial rune, precisely from the spatial inventory, which accompanied them, just like in the other quests.
They could still access the inventory with their souls; so Alm spoke dryly, ’We have some crystals, among other things. We can’t feed it with Qi, and because it’s sealed with us in the blade, we can’t take anything out of it... doesn’t seem useful in any way.’
They continued searching in every way they could, but a day had already passed.
’Darn it, we only have a week. And now, we can’t even get out of here,’ Bruno was visibly stunned.
However, Alm thought coldly: ’We still have one thing left: Mihkriel’s Celestial Chaos Seed Technique. The Heaven’s Will wouldn’t have sent us here if we didn’t have what’s needed... at least I hope so...’
Bruno thought quickly. They had only briefly read about the technique, without delving too deep. But one thing was certain: the foundation for creating the ’chaos seed’ was the divine soul, something they possessed in their current state.
’But the chaos seed that Mihkriel created was meant to reside in the mental sea. There, it would be slowly nurtured by celestial laws. Creating it now would be useless, as we have no way to nurture it,’ Bruno reflected aloud, then sighed. ’Besides the inventory, this is the only thing we have. Let’s carefully read the technique and the memories Mihkriel gave us.’
Basically, Mihkriel’s body lineage was something completely abnormal. He was almost like a primordial beast connected to the heavens from the moment he was born. He created the technique using, as its core, the greatest blessings that the Heaven’s Will gave him: his divine soul and the power of his bloodline.
For Mihkriel, nurturing the seed was simple. Just before he was captured, the chaos seed sparked a flicker of life after being nurtured by the power of electrical laws, a method similar to that used by the abyssal demon emperor to give life to Fides’ soul. Because it wasn’t something physical like a weapon, the seed couldn’t connect to a soul and become something truly alive. That’s why this technique was an incomplete Dao.
’What did the Heaven’s Will give us? Besides the limited and manipulative system...’ Alm spoke calmly. ’It divided our divine soul into two poles. This made us two souls of pure Yin and Yang naturally.’
’Yin and Yang are the laws that govern all forms of life, no matter the universe. Even in the underworld, where pure Yin forms exist, they live short lives. Without cultivation, they would die shortly after birth,’ Bruno pondered.
Alm added, ’This must be related to this technique. For life to exist naturally, there must be Yin, Yang, and, obviously, the laws of space and time. The spatial inventory is not a simple technique. It was created by a Chaos Dragon, as we discovered earlier.’
’At higher levels of the technique, this inventory should create a separate microworld. The power of a technique coming from dragons is something frightening,’ Bruno understood the point Alm wanted to emphasize. ’If we can somehow mix the techniques, perhaps something strange will happen.’
They only had level one in the Devouring God Spatial Technique, which was just the basics. Now, they knew they could advance to level two, discovering the next step of the technique, either on their own or by receiving external teachings. They had already fully mastered level one and, although they were not proficient in spatial laws, they understood the power and mentality of dragons.
’That dragon is a natural Yin being. He created something to devour and seal within himself... knowing dragons, they love to accumulate treasures. This microworld must be able to sustain living things in the future. A dragon, obviously, would want to accumulate millennia-old and unique herbs and plants,’ Bruno reflected calmly.
Alm agreed; that Chaos Dragon was specialized in Yin. That’s why he created a separate world, to not be contaminated. In that world, he could create the Yang within himself and keep things alive.
So, following this path, they tried to make the spatial runes accumulate life energy, the Yang. Without it, life wouldn’t last long. Another day passed with them working together, tense, as time was not on their side.
[Congratulations, advancement achieved!]
[Level 2] [Devouring God Spatial Technique] [Unlocked]
Alm and Bruno sighed together, somewhat relieved. Following that, carefully read the complete information of level two of the technique.
The spatial runes of the inventory would now undergo a mutation, becoming capable of sustaining simple living things. However, the current limit was a low-level herb; anything with a very high vitality would not be able to stay there and would die quickly.
’This seems to complement the chaos seed now. We have the Yin, the Yang, and the space capable of supporting life,’ Alm said thoughtfully.
Bruno agreed, and the two had the same bold idea. Soon, using their divine souls simultaneously, they created the chaos seed. However, they added something to the mix: a new element, merging it with the spatial runes of the core of the inventory technique.
Within the inventory, at its center, a grayish seed sprouted; everything around seemed to be blending with it. Right after, a violent tremor began in the inventory, as if everything were on the verge of collapse.
’Shit, if this explodes, we’re going to lose everything inside,’ Bruno said tensely.
Alm didn’t respond; instead, his soul lit up with maximum power. Bruno watched and did the same. Soon, the pure Yin and Yang vigorously enveloped that seed. Although it should be nurtured by celestial laws, Yin and Yang were compatible. However, with the mutation they created, everything could change...
To their relief, the Yin and Yang, combined with the divine soul, merged completely with the seed. The inventory stabilized, and the seed began to pulse and grow slowly.
The entire spatial inventory began to change. All its runes began to radiate natural power. Alm and Bruno felt as if a true microworld was being created by them.
They continued to deliver Yin and Yang. The seed lit up and transformed into a sprout, emanating boundless vitality for that world. Their energy multiplied with the seed.
Soon they stopped; it couldn’t absorb infinitely, and it seemed it wouldn’t grow any larger just with that.
Observing the place, they concluded. The Devouring God Spatial Technique and the Celestial Chaos Seed Technique had completely changed into something new. The seed became part of the inventory, merging with it. As for the inventory, they realized they could accommodate someone inside it; as long as enough Yin and Yang were provided, it would be able to sustain them for a while.
While the two were stunned by the changes, the chaos sprout suddenly pulsed with power, emanating a strange, gray law that made Alm and Bruno feel an unbelievable pressure. It was a sensation they had never experienced before.
Among the small leaves of the sprout, something tiny compared to a water droplet emerged. Alm and Bruno watched, stunned; it was the legendary law of chaos.
Bruno murmured, ’In Mihkriel’s memories, he comments on this. He managed to generate a drop only once in his entire life, and it was in his final moments. We achieved this right after its birth...’
