The Dimension Beyond All Creation
The endless sea of stars shimmered before Die Yuan as the System projected a mysterious scene into the void. Images flashed one after another—an unmatched genius, countless battles, rivers of blood, and finally... an Empress standing alone at the peak of the heavens.
Just as the most important moment was about to appear, the vision suddenly vanished.
Silence filled the air.
Die Yuan narrowed his eyes and sighed.
"So that's how it ended..."
He folded his arms.
"What a pity. Such a peerless genius met such a tragic fate. But what I'm truly curious about is... how did she eventually become the Empress?"
He looked toward the System.
"Why did you stop the video?"
The System answered calmly.
"Host, that information belongs to a future mission. I only showed you a preview in advance."
Die Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"A future mission? What's so special about her?"
The System's voice became more serious.
"Because she is not from this realm. She is the Empress of another realm... and she is about to be reborn into your world."
Die Yuan's pupils contracted.
"So that's the reason..."
The System continued,
"Think carefully, Host. Why would the ruler of an entire realm abandon everything and choose reincarnation in a lower world? There is only one answer."
"She is being hunted."
"Her enemies are so powerful that escaping into another realm is the safest choice she has left."
Before Die Yuan could speak, another notification appeared.
[World Notification]
A Celestial-Grade Secret Realm will descend into the Lower World soon.
For its treasures, countless forces from the Lower World, the Immortal World, and even higher worlds beyond imagination will arrive.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy.
Die Yuan slowly took a deep breath.
"So even those ancient worlds are coming..."
He looked toward the endless sky.
"I honestly don't know whether the Die Family can stand against all those supreme clans."
"My ancestors may have to fight as well."
"If that battle truly begins..."
"The heavens themselves will descend into chaos."
His expression turned determined.
"I have to make my ancestors stronger before that day arrives."
He turned toward the System.
"Do you have any method?"
The System answered without hesitation.
"Yes."
"But the price is entering one of the most dangerous places in existence."
Die Yuan smiled fearlessly.
"Danger has never frightened me."
"Tell me."
The System's voice echoed like an ancient law.
"Host, you must enter a forbidden dimension."
"It is a place where countless Daos are born."
"Where universes, multiverses, dimensions, and countless realities are continuously created."
"Your objective is to obtain the Celestial Supreme Dao Energy."
Die Yuan frowned.
"And the danger?"
For the first time, the System paused.
Its next words made even Die Yuan's heart tremble.
"The weakest creatures living there possess enough power to erase an Upper World with a single breath."
"If you encounter even one of them..."
"Nine out of ten times..."
"You will lose."
Die Yuan remained silent.
The System continued.
"Even an Immortal Emperor is nothing before an ordinary creature from that dimension."
"And I'm not even speaking about their King."
"Imagine how terrifying the Creature King must be."
Die Yuan slowly asked,
"There's actually a king among those monsters?"
The System replied,
"Everything that exists has a ruler."
"Every race."
"Every world."
"Every universe."
"Even beings beyond imagination have a supreme king standing above them."
After a long silence, Die Yuan finally spoke.
"What preparations do I need?"
The System answered,
"You must obtain two ancient treasures."
"The Dao Shield."
"And the Dao Conduit."
"Both exist only within the Immortal World."
Die Yuan smiled faintly.
"So I have to visit the Immortal World anyway."
"There are many secrets I wanted to uncover there."
"This mission is perfect."
He suddenly remembered something.
"Is this another System Mission?"
"Yes."
"But there is one condition."
"You must complete it alone."
"No ancestor."
"No army."
"No allies."
Die Yuan laughed instead of worrying.
"So I'm going alone?"
"...Interesting."
"I like missions like this."
The System then spoke once more.
"Host, this mission follows three special rules."
Die Yuan looked surprised.
"Rules?"
"You've never mentioned mission rules before."
The System answered,
"Because no one has ever entered that forbidden dimension before."
"Forget ordinary cultivators."
"Even an Immortal King cannot step inside."
"Host..."
"You will become the first living being in history to enter that place."
The System revealed the three rules.
However...
The readers were not allowed to hear them.
After a moment, Die Yuan nodded.
"Very well."
"I'll first travel to the Upper World."
"In five days..."
"I'll claim the Celestial Secret Realm."
Flashback
The story shifted to the past.
At the gates of the Heavenly God Profound Sect, space suddenly distorted.
A powerful figure stepped out.
It was Ekrox Die.
The Twelfth Ancestor of the Die Family.
Ranked Twelfth among the ancestors.
Cultivation: Rank 1, Stage 2.
Standing proudly before the enormous gates, Ekrox's voice echoed across the entire sect.
"Listen carefully."
"I am Ekrox Die."
"The Twelfth Ancestor of the Die Family."
"I have arrived under the orders of our Family Leader."
"I have come..."
"...to invite your Sect Ancestor to join the Die Family."
His declaration exploded across the mountains like thunder.
Within seconds...
Every disciple rushed outside.
The elders appeared one after another.
Even the Sect Master personally came out.
The entire Heavenly God Profound Sect had been shaken by a single sentence.
