Ray laid his eyes on the river of time, observing the webs and the destruction that soon followed. An eerie mass seeped through these cracks and mingled with the river of time.
In the cultivation world, the currents of terrifying oceans surged into a tide, causing tsunamis. The ground began to rumble in some places, triggering massive destruction.
Magma started to rise from the depths, erupting with such force that it reached the sky, engulfing cities in its wake.
The wails of trillions of cultivators echoed throughout the world, but the most affected were the mortals living there.
The whole world was in chaos!
"I didn’t expect it to be so decisive," Ray muttered as he observed the changes. With a wave of his hand, all the natural disasters in the area surrounding his base were prevented.
At this moment, an illusory orb emerged from one of the cracks. The gods slowly became visible although injured, their lives were not in any real danger, only exhausted.
"We have caught those parasites in our trap. It is time to face our wrath."
A voice resonated from the orb, and with it came destruction. Countless strings appeared, linking to an unknown place.
"Since their clone has died, we will finally be able to locate those bastards."
A god with an eye on his forehead suddenly turned to his right.
"Hmm."
A black mass swirled, tearing through space as it attacked a specific spot.
"Why did you attack Wei An?"
"…Nothing." Wei An shook his head, and everyone left the place.
"Ho."
Ray looked at the mirror.
"This Wei An guy was able to sense something, huh."
Since this world had not been introduced to technology yet, they wouldn’t have guessed that Ray possessed a mortal device, one without any Qi fluctuation, that could connect to the River of Time and even glimpse into it.
"You guys dug your own grave. I won’t help you."
Shaking his head, Ray focused on his inner world. The sprout had already taken root, and to the naked eye, his world appeared to be filled to the brim with an ocean.
But if one looked through his True Eyes, they would see that this was, in fact, a sea of knowledge—all the accumulated wisdom of the principle, "Chaos".
Ray sat cross-legged and focused his mind. Immediately, a funnel began to spiral from the sprout, absorbing all the knowledge within his inner world.
The water seemed endless, continuously being absorbed over and over again.
This was the effect of possessing so many Golden Fruits. The Heavenly Dao was always balanced—since Ray had endured such a terrifying calamity, especially with the appearance of the Four Beasts, the benefits he reaped were naturally immense as well.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a month had already gone by.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Not bad," Ray muttered with a sense of satisfaction as he gazed at the sprout, which had already bloomed into a tree.
Although short, with thin branches, its vibrant green leaves radiated a profound spirituality.
Ray had successfully broken through and reached Tier Eleven. There was still more origin for him to absorb, still he didn’t even feel a little sense of accomplishment.
The benefits were almost negligible—except for one.
"Chaos principle."
Ray appeared in the real world and vanished from his spot, reappearing high above the sky of his base.
The Guardian Beasts were still there. In their injured state, they could only perceive Ray’s figure as a blurry shadow before them.
"Become my pets," Ray said with a smile.
His eyes gleamed with divine light that shot through their bodies.
"Roar!" The White Tiger let out a furious roar, and the earth trembled beneath its might.
"How dare you, human."
The Four Guardian Beasts erupted in anger.
"Let’s see if I can do it or not."
Ray shook his head and focused, his pupil power surging like a malevolent storm.
Gradually, golden threads began to appear, surrounding their bodies. The beasts struggled even more violently, but before Ray’s absolute strength, there was nothing they could do. Find exclusive stories on freewebnovel
Their consciousness grew blurry as strings emerged from their bodies, extending toward Ray.
He observed the threads and began to mold them.
"Really now, this is interesting."
Every universe was unique in its own way. In his universe, concepts like destiny and fate did not exist, but in this world, the principles of "Fate and Destiny" were real.
There was also "Karma"—all of these were fundamental laws of this world, and the Heavenly Dao used these strings to maintain balance.
Ray, having witnessed this in action, was already able to imitate it well enough to tame the beasts at almost a godly level.
This was simply unprecedented, but for him: someone whose Mental Power surpassed the comprehension of anyone in this world, it was as effortless as breathing.
The beasts were gradually being subdued when, suddenly, an illusory light blocked the strings.
"How dare you!?"
An angry roar resounded from the sky.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Ray sneered as a black mass emerged from his body.
Erratic and chaotic, wherever the black mass passed, all signs of life vanished, as if that part of existence had been severed from the universe itself.
The black mass twisted and condensed into the shape of a sword before slashing through the air.
Boom!
The world trembled violently, engulfed in a cataclysm—a natural disaster on the scale of stars.
"Since I have decided that they will be my pets, then no one can stop me!"
Ray’s voice roared through the heavens.

With the connection severed, he successfully tied the strings, and the Four Guardian Beasts became his pets.
"Your size is quite huge, so shrink down."
He spoke calmly, and in an instant, the beasts were fully healed.
"Yes, Master."
The four transformed into their miniature versions, almost like dolls.
"Not bad. They’ll make a fine gift for my great-great-grandchildren."
Ray flew back to his base, the four following behind him respectfully, without the slightest hint of resistance.
