A Soul Devouring Beast with the power of a four-star Emperor.
"Master!" The beast appeared somewhat confused. Upon seeing Chaos, it quickly dropped to its knees in reverence.
Chaos gave a slight nod and spoke, "Find Merciless, but do not harm her, especially the life within her."
The Soul Devouring Beast paused for a moment, then responded with a low growl before swiftly retreating.
The Soul Devouring Beast was skilled in pursuit, particularly sensitive to souls, so Merciless had no chance of escaping its detection.
"This is quite an unexpected gain!" Chaos murmured, his gaze deep and calculating.
If he could obtain the Seed of Fire, his star domain would fully converge with the Heaven law, rendering him invincible against the Overseers.
"Hmm, have you located the Initial World coordinates?" His eyes flickered as he received a transmission from the Nine-Headed Lion.
"Good news seems to keep coming." A faint smile curled at the corners of his lips.
The Initial World possessed the complete Heaven law. If he obtained the Seed of Fire and then refined the Initial World, he would undoubtedly become the strongest Creator God, no longer afraid of any star domain.
He closed his eyes slightly, locking onto the Initial World’s position using the coordinates provided by the Nine-Headed Lion.
"The Galaxy Star Domain? That name seems so familiar..." he muttered to himself, feeling like he had heard the name before, but couldn’t recall exactly where or when.
"Since I’ve found it, this world is mine now." He pushed the thought aside and waved his hand, opening a new spatial passageway, heading toward the Banking Star Domain.
However, the Initial World had a barrier in place, and he couldn’t descend yet, much less refine that world.
He needed to break the barrier first.
He looked at the kneeling warriors around him and coldly commanded, "All of you, go to the Galaxy Star Domain and destroy the barrier there."
"Yes!" The group responded in unison, swiftly passing through the spatial rift to arrive in the Initial World.
Kaos still wasn’t satisfied. He waved his hand again, summoning three massive beasts.
These were the Ruin Beast, the Bone Devouring Beast, and the Soul Devouring Beast, each with a far more powerful aura, now enhanced to the strength of four-star Emperor magical beasts.
"My Lord!" The three beasts knelt, their expressions full of respect.
Kaos nodded slightly, giving them his command, "Lead your subordinates and destroy the barrier of the Initial World. Remember, do not destroy the world itself."
"Understood!" The three beasts let out a loud roar, summoning their subordinates.
The once peaceful sky was suddenly shrouded in darkness. A massive shadow spread, as Ruin Beasts, Bone Devouring Beasts, and Soul Devouring Beasts filled the air. The smallest of them was a nine-star magical beast.
The three giant beasts led their forces, directly passing through the spatial rift.
Kaos watched calmly, confident that the Initial World would not be able to withstand the onslaught of these magical beasts.
And the fact that John had withstood his attack, it was likely that he was in a dire state.
The most important thing now was to find Merciless and obtain the Seed of Fire.
"It seems it’s time to deal with Merciless." He murmured to himself, a murderous intent spreading in the air. His figure gradually faded, disappearing from sight.
...
"Hmm!" A soft groan, and John slowly regained consciousness, waves of excruciating pain coursing through his body as if his very flesh were being torn apart.
"Is this World-in-Hand?" He looked around in confusion, seeing life flourishing around him, the towering Tree of Life gently swaying.
The situation felt eerily similar to his previous descent into the Realm of Chaos, but this time, his World-in-Hand was intact, and his cultivation had not been wiped away.
Yet, his injuries were far worse, especially the splitting headache.
His soul had been severely damaged.
He recalled the final blow from the Creator God. Despite the protection of the Golden Lotus Manifestation, his soul had nearly been obliterated.
"Oh, big brother, you’re finally awake!" A voice called out. Jean bounded over, her eyes scanning him up and down as she patted her chest in relief, letting out a long sigh.
"Big brother, you nearly scared me to death! Old man Gaka said you might not survive, but luckily, the Tree of Life stabilized your soul." She looked visibly relieved.
John managed a weak smile. Indeed, this time had been perilous.
He struggled to sit up but noticed that the others were nowhere in sight. Puzzled, he asked, "Have we returned to the Initial World? Where is everyone?"
Jean quickly nodded, "We’ve already arrived in the Initial World, but others couldn’t enter because of the barrier. Sini and the others saw that you were safe and went out to hunt those annoying Bone Devouring Beasts and Soul Devouring Beasts."
"What? There are magical beasts here too?" John exclaimed in surprise.
He wasn’t shocked that the Initial World had a barrier; it was likely there to prevent powerful beings from descending.
However, the fact that Bone Devouring Beasts and Soul Devouring Beasts had appeared meant that the Creator God must have already discovered the coordinates to the Initial World.
The young girl continued, "Not long after we arrived, those magical beasts appeared, along with some divine servants. They wanted to break the barrier. But Sini and the others are too weak—they can only handle One-Star Emperors and below, and they couldn’t stop the powerful magical beasts from damaging the barrier."
John frowned deeply, a sense of unease creeping up in his chest. He asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
The young girl counted on her fingers, then answered, "It’s been half a year."
"Half a year?" John exclaimed in disbelief. He felt like he’d only just closed his eyes for a moment, but it seemed he had been unconscious for such a long time.
She nodded, continuing, "Both Sini and Tracy have broken through to Emperor-level cultivation. They’ll be so happy when they find out you’ve woken up. I’ll contact them right away."
With that, she pulled out a communication stone and reached out to Sini.
Both women had the Divine Plunder talent, meaning every magical beast they killed would help them grow stronger. John wasn’t surprised that they had broken through to Emperor-level cultivation in half a year.
Hum!
A spatial fluctuation rippled, and soon, Sini and the others appeared in World-in-Hand.
"John!" Sini cried, her eyes brimming with tears as she rushed toward him.
The past six months had been filled with worry and dread for the women. Seeing him awake now, their hearts finally felt at ease.
"Alright, I’m fine." John comforted her with a gentle pat on the back, then asked, "What’s the situation outside right now?"
"A large number of magical beasts and divine servants have descended, but there’s a barrier preventing them. They won’t be able to break through it in the short term," Sini briefly summarized the situation outside.
"By the way," she suddenly remembered something and continued, "After we left, the Gods Descend game didn’t disappear. In fact, it’s connected to more worlds now. It seems like they’re all inhabited by beings from the Bank Star Domain."
"The Gods Descend game is still active?" John asked in confusion. He had killed the proxy Creator God, and that should have led to the end of the game.
That being had died, and the Gods Descend game should have vanished with it.
If the game was still ongoing, it likely had nothing to do with the proxy Creator God.
Sini nodded and continued, "Not only that, but the Gods Descend game has undergone a massive change. In short, spiritual power has revived, and everyone can now cultivate. I recently went to a nearby planet and contacted Ben. That guy is already a Nine-Star cultivator, though there are still no Emperors."
John listened to the situation outside, his brows furrowing.
He had a nagging feeling that there was a hidden force pulling the strings behind all of this.

The Gods Descend game didn’t seem to be for the purpose of destroying planets. Instead, it appeared to be uniting the lives of the Initial World to fight the looming crisis.
There were certainly still secrets being kept hidden here. Otherwise, why would the Creator God be so desperate to obtain the Initial World?
"John," at that moment, Gaka spoke, interrupting his thoughts, "Did Merciless Emperor not descend into the Initial World?"
John shook his head, his heart filled with concern.
He remembered that just before everything went dark, a terrifying attack had struck. In that critical moment, he had pushed Merciless out of the way, and the attack had hit him instead. He lost consciousness and fell through the space-time rift.
He had no idea what had happened to Merciless, but he feared the worst.
Gaka looked at him, hesitating for a moment.
If John knew about Merciless being pregnant, he would undoubtedly go after revenge without hesitation.
However, right now, his strength was nowhere near enough to take on the Creator God.
John turned toward the others and said, "I need to enter seclusion to recover. If something unexpected happens, let me know immediately."
His injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, and his strength was still affected. He needed to restore his power as soon as possible.
Sini nodded and said, "John, I think you could pass through the barrier and enter the Initial World to cultivate. The power of laws there is very strong."
"Is that so?" John asked, intrigued.
The barrier didn’t restrict the lives of the Initial World, and he, along with Sini and the others, could freely enter and exit.
An idea sparked in his mind as he left World-in-Hand and appeared in the Void.
Boom, boom...
The sound of rumbling echoed as the surroundings were enveloped in darkness. Countless magical beasts were relentlessly attacking the barrier.
Sini had been right—these beasts wouldn’t be able to break through the barrier in the short term, and the barrier was self-healing.
The magical beasts surrounding him noticed his presence and let out an angry roar, charging straight at him.
He frowned, his body flickering as he passed effortlessly through the barrier with no obstruction whatsoever.
Bang, bang...
Several loud impacts echoed, but the magical beasts were immediately repelled, crashing back and shaking their heads. From beyond the barrier, they snarled and bared their teeth at him, their roars echoing in fury.
He was somewhat curious about how the barrier differentiated between different life forms.

"I’ll spare your lives for now." He paid no attention to the magical beasts, ensuring that Sini and the others were safe before his thoughts shifted. He then descended to the nearest habitable planet.
Whoosh...
A heavy wave of spiritual power hit him, carrying with it the essence of The Heaven and the power of laws.
"How could there be such powerful energy here?" He was stunned. This was just a regular planet on the outskirts of Initial World. According to Sini, the planets deeper within the world had even denser spiritual power.
After they left, Initial World had undergone drastic changes.
No wonder the Creator God wanted to obtain Initial World.
He spread out his mental energy, finding a secluded cave where he could enter seclusion to cultivate.
Massive waves of spiritual power surged into his body, gradually healing his injuries.
The power of laws within his body began to flow on its own, and a new understanding of The Heaven law began to form in his mind.
...
Time passed, and before he knew it, over three months had gone by.
John’s injuries had fully healed, and his strength had significantly advanced.
At this moment, the power of The Heaven law rippled around him, his overwhelming aura spreading in all directions.
Hum!
Suddenly, a buzzing sound filled the air, followed by a flash of golden light. Several Golden Wheels of Laws shot out from his body with a loud whoosh, and a series of prompt messages flashed before his eyes.
