The entire Alliance of the Will of the Heavens was in turmoil and furious over the ’death’ of Kaiyka and Venjio. A sarcastic remark from a member of the Alliance of the Righteous Path, accusing the couple of being involved with the Heaven-Defier and implying that this was the reason for their deaths, sparked a brutal and bloody battle.
The enemies underestimated the situation and had no idea what they were facing. Until then, all of the whale’s generals had held back, and not even the squad leaders had shown their full power. But at that moment, they attacked with everything they had, turning into true bloodthirsty demons.
It wasn’t a fight; it was a massacre. Within minutes, their opponents were overtaken by panic and fled for their lives.
That region was the central area near the core of the Demon Eye Galaxy, where the Shadow God sect had ruled for countless centuries. Members of that sect, humiliated, fled in desperation but couldn’t make it back to their main planet.
The whale’s group wasn’t naive and blocked that escape route. Yue even used his talismans to prevent the use of spatial laws.
Although the situation was dire, the enemies didn’t surrender completely and changed their escape route, heading towards the core of the galaxy, where the entrance to the sealed dark world was located.
The pursuit was bloody. The fleeing enemies were struck as they ran, and only a third managed to reach their destination.
When they arrived, the members of the Shadow God sect used a hidden resource: the Dao mark of the dead god they worshipped. The unexpected happened: all of the whale’s warriors were instantly frozen and suppressed.
The power that overwhelmed them was terrifying and unmatched, able to subdue them with just a thought, accompanied by a heroic and unparalleled dominion. The generals recognized that power — a divine soul like that of the whale.
The suppression lasted only a second, but it was enough for the fugitives to cross into the entrance of the sealed world, even though it should have been impossible before the time.
"I’m certain, master. Their cultivation is identical to that of your shadow body left in your universe," Rehvka confirmed.
Alm sighed. It was clear: the immortal heroes were inside that world. This could only mean one thing — there was a Primordial Chaos item sealed in that galaxy.
"After that, we focused our efforts on investigating the Shadow God sect. When the event Purimu attended took place, we had already discovered an important clue on a planet that once belonged to that sect; that’s why we weren’t present," Rehvka continued.
In the end, that clue turned out to be invaluable information related to the Infernal Law. The same one found in the abyss on Pristine Planet, which Almin had cultivated, even possessing an internal rune of it. Both already knew that this law only existed in the Demon Eye Galaxy.
Now, this law seemed to be the key to what was hidden in the sealed world. Someone with full mastery of this law, using a method that Shadow God taught its followers, could enter that place even with the gates closed.
"In the end, we obtained the method and returned. Almin went in alone, being the only one capable of doing so. He promised to just investigate and return in a few days. It’s been three days since then."
When Rehvka finished, Bruno returned after finishing work with his followers. He caught the end of the conversation and commented, ’That idiot went into a place where it’s potentially impossible to return, with no idea what to expect? What was he thinking...’
The two fell silent, reflecting that, ironically, they had done the same thing many times, even with Almin alongside them. Their brother had learned to be slightly reckless and suicidal; after all, courage and foolishness often walk hand in hand.
After taking a deep breath, they decided to trust and wait a few more days. Alm said coldly, "Let’s give it a little more time. Almin won’t be captured so easily; if he can go in, he can come out. But, you mentioned you completed your Dao?"
"Yes," Rehvka replied with a slight smile and activated her power.
Alm and Bruno felt the heavenly laws around them connecting perfectly to her. Rehvka had been accepted; her Dao had become a Divine Dao, and she was now officially a goddess.
"Master took the other three disciples but left me here alone..." she murmured, an intense and painful emotion surfacing in her eyes. "I gave everything I had so as not to be the only useless disciple. Now, with my new divine capabilities, even the Empyreans aren’t like me. I’m still exploring this, but please, count on me too."
Alm and Bruno scoffed. She was the first to complete the Dao and be accepted. The power of a deity was drastically different from that of cultivators and Empyreans. Having someone accepted with a complete Dao was so rare and difficult that Alm and Bruno believed having allies with an incomplete Dao was already a significant advantage. They didn’t expect anyone to actually complete it, but their disciple proved them wrong.
"It was just the type of mission I received. I didn’t choose them; they had a connection and were accepted to go with me. Depending on the circumstances, there may be a mission where only we two can go... I can’t predict that." They tried to reassure her. "But you did well..."
Bruno cut in when he saw her disappointed expression. Clearly, Rehvka wasn’t satisfied with words of encouragement, preferring curses or painful punishments.
Alm sighed. But he remembered something and spoke: "You received the chaos rune, and it hasn’t had many uses until now. Learn this."
He handed her the method for creating a core with the laws of chaos and all the knowledge about Anima cultivation.
"Alter your core slowly, destroying and replacing it with this new one. With your internal chaos rune, this is possible... but I wouldn’t ask this of anyone, as it’s an experience of indescribable suffering. It’ll be like slowly cutting out an internal organ and replacing it in pieces." Alm’s words made her eyes shine like stars.
She wanted to start the process right away and be by their side, but Alm kicked her out. He didn’t want a woman moaning in excitement around him all day.
’Hmm... maybe her connection to the heavenly laws after becoming a deity could trigger some change in the micro-universe’s power. But I doubt it, and it wouldn’t be worth the effort,’ Bruno muttered.
’Who cares. She’ll enjoy the torture, and she’s the only one who wouldn’t mind testing it. The other option would be coming up with something painful for her,’ Alm remarked lightly.
Bruno snorted. ’You really learned to think like that... Ruri spoiled you too much. I know she sometimes asks for pretty intense stuff; even I get shocked, but...’
Alm completely ignored Bruno’s words and turned his attention back to the system:

[Level 5] [Transcendent Mental Cultivation Technique: Nine God-Slaying Lotus] [60 Upgrade Points]
’Great, we can get both,’ Alm said calmly.
Bruno reflected: ’The creator of physical cultivation was able to reach the threshold between life and death, but went beyond that. He died trying to advance to the final divine realm... the price is so low partly because we’ve already completed the previous level... but probably the creator didn’t have time to fully solidify it, and the information is vague.’
Alm nodded in agreement. They would have to build the advancement themselves. The knowledge of the fifth and final level would only serve as an imprecise theoretical guide, as the creator didn’t have time to test it. That’s why it was so cheap.
They used all the upgrade points and acquired the physical and mental cultivation techniques at the final level. From previous purchases, they sent level three of the Dao of the Human God through the array for everyone who could use it.
’Now Ruri just needs to receive the Dao of the Formation God, the mental cultivation, and that other one...’
Bruno barely finished speaking when the door opened, revealing Ruri with a smile on her face. It seemed like she had sensed it and came running.
’Purimu is so cute and innocent... Quirio is too soft on her. Mistie had to work hard to set limits, otherwise she would have been too spoiled,’ Ruri said as she approached, with a wide grin. ’I’ll take good care of her. I owe her for the skill she taught me in the past. Thanks to it, I saved myself from death many times and developed all my spatial power afterward.’
Alm and Bruno nodded but noticed a change in Ruri’s expression, who sighed lightly. "Time passes differently in our universe, doesn’t it? We could have a child there, and it wouldn’t affect the war, right?"
The whale confirmed with a slight nod. Twenty years in that universe would be less than twenty days in the queen’s realm. They had a thousand years there, and now they could even go back if needed, thanks to the hammer.
Ruri’s gaze made it clear she knew about the hammer. "Yes, you could get pregnant without it being an issue. But... don’t count on it."
"We’ll keep trying until we succeed, that’s the best part," she said with a carefree smile. Then her eyes sparkled with excitement. "I’m finally human again... It was fun before, but strange. Being able to change shape, get small or big in so many places was nice. But ideally, I want to feel pressured and fit perfectly with master."
She stepped closer and whispered a new idea in their ears. Bruno’s eyes widened in surprise.
"I won’t break, master," Ruri said seductively. Then she led them to the underground. Thus, they disappeared for several days.
