Master of the Demon Emperor

Origin Qi, the initial Spiritual Energy of origin, how enormous this Creation is, not in the least inferior to the accomplishments of opening Hongmeng.

The breakthrough in his Cultivation did not catch Su Yie's attention, as he continued to sense the Origin Qi.

In this obscurity, some kind of rule was drawing near to him.

Creation Rules!

The Creation Rules belonging to the origin!

By creating Origin Qi, he had taken the first step for the origin, naturally attracting the Creation Rules.

He began to try to control the Creation Rules.

Creation Rules could create everything.

With Creation Rules and the Laws of Space-Time, he might be able to create a space-time tunnel, and then he could return to the original point in time.

But the Creation Rules were profound and unpredictable, extremely difficult to master.

In the past, he would have found this very troubling, but for him now, patience was the least valuable thing.

Time passed swiftly.

Later, the Heavenly Monarch noticed the existence of Origin Qi.

Origin was his naming, and the Spiritual Energy was naturally named by him as Origin Qi, exactly as Su Yie had thought.

After discovering the existence of Origin Qi, the Heavenly Monarch began to cultivate.

Every once in a while, he would transmit his Mana to the seven Soul Fragments, so that they too could cultivate together.

And later on.

Su Yie finally understood the identities of these Soul Fragments.

Hongmeng Great Emperor, First Emperor of the Nine Palaces, Ultimate Emperor of the Ninth Pole, Yin Yang Origin Emperor, Tai Yi Hundun, Tai Su Celestial Lord, Ren Woxiao.

They all chose their names from the stories told by the Heavenly Monarch.

Although Su Yie was merging with the Creation Rules, he observed all this.

It was only now that he truly understood the relationship between the Heavenly Monarch and the Primordial Seven Gods.

Looking at the carefree Primordial Seven Gods and then recalling the later Hongmeng Divine Spirits, he could not help but sigh at the workings of fate.

In the long river of time, the Heavenly Monarch's Cultivation steadily improved.

When Su Yie merged with the Creation Rules, he still had not witnessed the opening of Hongmeng.

He felt regretful.

The story of the Heavenly Monarch, Fate's Main God, and the Primordial Seven Gods felt like he was watching an epic.

Alas, it ended here.

He did not belong here, it was time to go back.

By merging with the Creation Rules, his Cultivation leaped forward again, reaching the seventh layer of Creation in the Supreme Primordial Master Realm.

He tore through space, creating a space-time tunnel.

With a mere thought, a space-time tunnel appeared before him.

This was the terrifying power of Creation Rules!

Something from nothing!

Before departing, he looked back, gazing at the Heavenly Monarch.

This period was the longest time he had ever spent with the Heavenly Monarch.

He saw the true Heavenly Monarch.

Like him, he had his emotions, suffered, and worried.

Although the Heavenly Monarch did not see him, he felt their relationship had grown closer.

After one deep glance at the Heavenly Monarch, he resolutely plunged into the space-time tunnel.

Just as he turned his head.

The distant Heavenly Monarch suddenly turned and looked towards him.

The Heavenly Monarch furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes reflecting surprise and astonishment.

But soon, all that remained in his gaze was relief.

All these moments Su Yie did not witness, as he was shuttling through space-time and expanding the space-time tunnel.

He was already far from the Origin.

"It seems that there are also levels within space-time, with different Cultivation and Creation perceiving space-time differently," Su Yie murmured to himself, seemingly grasping at something, but he couldn't articulate it clearly.

Nor did he know how his current understanding of space-time compared with Qin Tianyun's.

Perhaps it was the imprints of his past life that allowed him to advance so smoothly on the path of space-time.

Su Yie shook his head with a wry smile, no longer indulging in wild thoughts.

The time-space tunnel continued to expand. The surrounding space-time thunder and lightning did not touch Su Yie, who now ranked as a king of time and space—how would the space-time thunder dare taint him?

Should he return to The Gate of the Great Dao or The Gate of Misfortune, he would come and go as he pleased, like a fish swimming in the vast ocean.

"With your laws of space-time, you could probably sweep through the Supreme Primordial Master Realm. In the Origin Plane, you would be an invincible Master of the Divine Domain!"

Feng Long exclaimed in admiration within Su Yie's mind, believing that great fortune follows a survivor of catastrophe.

Su Yie, as always, did not disappoint.

Su Yie gave a slight smile, choosing not to respond.

This experience, indeed, had made him much more mature.

Reflecting on the previous tedium, he couldn't help feeling a bit disheartened.

Such aimless, hopeless monotony could drive anyone to despair.

He flew on.

Not knowing how long he had flown, he suddenly stopped.

For the time-space tunnel could extend no further, as if a barrier ahead blocked the laws of space-time.

His brows deeply furrowed, he immediately executed his Arcane Battle Techniques and Battle Will, elevating his cultivation to its peak, attempting to break through the barrier, but alas, he was unsuccessful.

"What's going on? This shouldn't be happening."

Su Yie muttered to himself, feeling as though he was overlooking something.

His Creation Rules dissolved immediately upon contact with that barrier, seemingly reluctant to confront it.

But why?

"Creation Rules... to create something from nothing, to turn all to void… nothing..."

Su Yie murmured softly, while Feng Long and Bai Wuyan did not disturb him.

They were novices in the laws of space-time and could not assist Su Yie.

Suddenly, something dawned on Su Yie, and his brows tightened even more.

During the long, dull waiting, he had harbored many negative emotions, vaguely showing the signs of a forming Heart Demon.

Now that the Creation Rules were integrated with him, yet his heart wasn't pure—was this why the Creation Rules were uncooperative?

He couldn't think of any other reason.

At once, he sought to exorcise his Heart Demon.

Rooted deep within his soul, the Heart Demon nurtained his seven emotions and six desires.

With the myriad rules he now possessed, discarding the Heart Demon was not difficult, especially since it had yet to fully develop.

Soon, wisps of black aura emerged from between his eyebrows.

These black auras coalesced into a shadow, curling in front of him.

It was his Heart Demon.

Its pose resembled that of an infant within the womb.

Su Yie raised his hand, ready to extinguish this Heart Demon.

Just then, the Heart Demon trembled slightly, a faint movement that caused Su Yie to furrow his brow.

"Kill him."

A voice suddenly echoed beside his ear, making his face change drastically.

For this voice unmistakably came from the Heavenly Monarch.

He turned to look, only to see the space-time thunder and lightning beside him coalescing into a face—the visage of the Heavenly Monarch.

Su Yie was taken aback, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

The Heavenly Monarch continued, "What are you hesitating for?"

Su Yie asked with a frown, "Why are you here? Have you been here all along?"

The Heavenly Monarch replied, "I am omnipotent. What do you think?"

Su Yie's heart sank sharply—could it be that the previous Heavenly Monarch had been a performance for his sake?

"Don't overthink it. I've just been following your consciousness, not setting you up. It's just that you, boy, are too rebellious and you actually deviated from the highest timeline," the Heavenly Monarch explained, his tone tinged with annoyance, as if lamenting his failure to mold him stronger.

Su Yie understood his irritation, knowing all too well how Qin Tianyun had met his reckless end.

"The highest timeline, what is that?"

Su Yie asked, the presence of the Heavenly Monarch strangely comforting him.

It seemed as long as the Heavenly Monarch was present, there was no danger worth his fear.

The Heavenly Monarch looked at Su Yie's Heart Demon, let out a sigh, and then began to explain the meaning of the highest timeline to Su Yie.
