Chapter 1: The Echoes of a Ghost
Twenty years. In the cosmic scale, it was a blink of an eye, but for the mortal and immortal races of the Multiverse, it was an entire generation. The name Tiān Yuán had transitioned from a tragedy to a legend, and finally, into a myth that the new generation laughed at. Peace had made the common people soft, and the high-tier cultivators arrogant. They had forgotten that their very existence was bought with the life-essence of a man who stood alone against the Void.
Inside the Lover's Sanctuary, the atmosphere was the polar opposite. The "Peace Decree" remained in effect, but the tension was thick enough to cut with a blade. Mo Yue, now the undisputed Empress of the Sanctuary, sat upon the Throne of Vitality. Her beauty had not aged, but her eyes held the coldness of a thousand winters. She had spent two decades governing the reconstruction, ensuring the hyper-stable universes remained balanced. However, her true focus was the young man standing at the edge of the Great Mountain's cliff.
Chapter 2: Tiān Chuàng – The Prince of All Origins
At twenty years old, Tiān Chuàng was the living image of his father. He possessed the same sharp jawline, the same deep, calculating eyes, and the same aura of absolute authority. But where Tiān Yuán was a force of "Destruction and Creation," Tiān Chuàng was the master of "Origin Equilibrium." Having been trained by the Elder Dragon King, the High Elf Queen, and the Ancient God-General, he had reached a level that should have been impossible for his age. He had officially stepped into the Void-Breaker Epoch (Level 1). He could physically touch the boundaries of the Sanctuary and feel the "Nothingness" outside. For twenty years, he had been told his father was a Great Hero who went on a "Long Journey," but as he reached maturity, the blood of the six supreme races in his veins began to whisper the truth. He felt the phantom pain of a spear through his chest; he felt the heat of a "Recycle of Birth and Death" explosion. The genetic memory of the Sovereign was waking up.
Chapter 3: The Death of the Scouts
In the deepest, darkest cracks of the Outer Void, the two surviving villains—the ones Tiān Yuán had crippled—finally drew their last breaths. Their bodies had become statues of rotting salt. As their souls evaporated, a massive ripple of dark energy pulsated outward.
Mo Yue felt it instantly from her throne. The "Forbidden Origin" energy that had plagued her husband was finally gone from the Multiverse, but it was replaced by something much worse. The death of the two scouts acted as a Sovereign Beacon. It signaled to the Outer Void Lords that the guardian of this Multiverse was no longer present to defend the gates. The "Illegal Space" began to churn, and the first "Void-Cracks" began to appear near the borders of the Elven and Human universes.
Chapter 4: The Gathering of the Star-Kings
Mo Yue didn't waste a second. She activated the Sovereign Headquarters' emergency signal. Within hours, the most powerful beings from across the Multiverse arrived at the Sanctuary.
The Dragon King arrived with a fleet of gold-scaled dragons.
The God-General brought the "Heavenly Legion."
The Elven Queen arrived with the "World-Tree Archers."
"The peace is over," Mo Yue declared, her voice echoing through the Sanctuary. "The survivors are dead, but their masters have heard the call. Our power levels are lower than they were twenty years ago. We have no Sovereign to shield us this time."
The kings looked at each other in fear. They knew she was right. Without Tiān Yuán, they were like sheep waiting for the slaughter. It was then that Tiān Chuàng stepped forward from the shadows of the throne. "We have no Sovereign," the boy said, his voice dropping an octave, sounding hauntingly like his father. "But we have his blood. And we have his laws."
Chapter 5: The First Breach – The Battle of the Elven Border
The news came shortly after: a Void-Breaker level beast had breached the Elven Universe. It wasn't a soldier; it was a "Consumer," a creature designed to eat the spiritual density of a planet. The Elven Queen's forces were being decimated.
Tiān Chuàng didn't wait for permission. He stepped into the air and performed a Spatial Leap that spanned three galaxies. When he arrived at the Elven Border, the sight was horrific. The stars were being extinguished. Tiān Chuàng descended like a falling star. He didn't use a sword; he used his bare hands. Combining the Dragon-Scale Strength with the Phoenix-Fire, he grabbed the Void-Beast by its throat.
"You are in the wrong Multiverse," he growled. With a roar that shook the Elven stars, he unleashed Absolute Erasure. The beast didn't just die; it was turned into pure energy, which Tiān Chuàng then forced back into the Elven sun, reigniting it. The witnesses fell to their knees. They weren't looking at a prince; they were looking at the Rebirth of the Myth.
Chapter 4: The Mother's Revelation
After the battle, Tiān Chuàng returned to the Sanctuary, his robes stained with the black blood of the Void. He stood before Mo Yue, his eyes demanding the truth.
"He didn't go on a journey, did he?" Tiān Chuàng asked.
Mo Yue looked at her son and finally let the tears fall—tears she had held back for twenty years. She took him to the deepest chamber of the Headquarters, where a single, microscopic spark of Azure Light was kept in a containment field of Nirvana Primordium (Level 6) energy.
"Your father gave his existence so you could have these twenty years," she whispered. "This spark is all that remains of his Will. He isn't dead, but he isn't alive. He is waiting for someone to reach the Aeon-Master (Level 8) rank to pull him back from the cracks of time."
Tiān Chuàng looked at the spark, and for the first time, the "Origin Equilibrium" in his soul tipped toward Absolute Destruction. The Prince had found his purpose. He wasn't just going to protect the Multiverse; he was going to invade the Void to bring his father home.
