Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Deep within the capital's military base, space was sliced apart by a powerful force, revealing a solidified crystallized wall that stretched ten thousand meters in length and width. A thin purple band of light, several meters long, floated slowly within the crystallized space. It radiated a profound aura, as if it held the origin of all things from the beginning of time.

The very moment Chen Chu laid eyes on the purple light band, the Supreme Strength Principle within his body and the Soul-Suppressing Imperial Seal deep within his soul both trembled slightly. He murmured, "So this is the primordial origin."

Xie Chen nodded. "This strand of origin is the hope of our race to give rise to a new emperor. Back then, to prevent any leaks that might allow the alien races to steal it, Brother Qian sealed it inside the Blue Planet. This crystallized space is actually a remnant of a world-level weapon we recovered from ancient ruins. Though it has little offensive power, once deployed, it forms a sturdy and stable 'world' capable of sealing off everything. Not even a heavenly king could break through the crystal walls. Now that Brother Qian is giving it to you, it clearly means he believes your chances of breaking through are even greater than his."

There was a mix of emotion and excitement in Xie Chen's voice. Back when Chen Chu received the Emperor's Inheritance on the path to divinity, Xie Chen had already been astounded by his extraordinary talent.

Later, when Chen Chu broke through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm and created the four worlds of earth, fire, wind, and lightning, Xie Chen became fully convinced that Chen Chu was the hope of the human race. He had immediately sought out Qian Tian and the others to forge a forbidden weapon for him.

Even so, he never imagined that Chen Chu would grow this quickly. In just a few short months, Chen Chu had advanced to the late stage of the heavenly king level, slain multiple demon gods, swept across over two million kilometers of battlefield, and single-handedly crushed most of the forces of two great empires.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen said, "Chen Chu, with your current cultivation, the moment you break through, the resulting surge will be immense. The Blue Planet wouldn't be able to contain it. That's why I suggest you refine the origin inside this area first and maximize your strength. Then, when the time comes, breaking through in the mythical world will yield better results."

"Mhm, I agree." Chen Chu nodded. When he broke through to the late stage of the heavenly king level, he had nearly devoured all of the transcendent energy within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius in a single breath to condense an even stronger True Demon God Form.

If he tried to break through on the Blue Planet now, where the energy density was far lower than in the mythical world, he could drain it completely in an instant. That would ruin the cultivation environment the empires had spent decades carefully building, leaving it a barren wasteland with no room for cultivation in the near future.

Buzz!

As the white pearl in Xie Chen's hand emitted wave after wave of light, the crystallized space ahead began to tremble. On the side facing the two of them, the crystal wall slowly opened up, revealing a circular entrance two meters in diameter.

Xie Chen, struggling to contain his excitement, said with anticipation, "Go on, Chen Chu. Step into the beginning of your legend."

He was eager to see what kind of astounding transformation Chen Chu would undergo after fusing with the primordial origin. With his talent and strength already on par with a demon god, what would he become? Would he ascend in a single leap to become one of the supremes, or rise to an entirely higher stage of existence?

However, no matter the outcome, this marked his official entry into the arena of the mythical world. Supreme powerhouses who mastered principles were regarded as the central force of power, even among the legendary great races that ruled the mythical world.

Chen Chu turned back and gave Xie Chen a slow nod. Then, with a flash, his figure vanished into the crystallized world. The moment he entered, he felt as if he had arrived in an entirely different world. This world was a narrow, barren void of utter darkness, devoid of anything.

At the same time, the entrance behind him silently closed and disappeared into the darkness. However, none of that mattered now. From the instant he stepped inside, Chen Chu's full attention was drawn to the purple band of light drifting through the void.

A powerful yearning surged from every cell in his body, reaching into the depths of his soul. It was an instinctive desire, rooted in his genes and life essence. This desire to evolve, to grow stronger, and to ascend to a higher state of existence compelled him to devour and absorb the primordial origin.

Chen Chu took a deep breath, then lunged for the purple light band. The instant he touched it, the light from the band flared brilliantly and transformed into endless streams of purple radiance that rushed into his body.

Boom!

In an instant, Chen Chu's consciousness moved, and he exploded from an indescribable force, shattering into a mist of golden-purple blood that spread through the void. Faced with the power of the origin of all things, the beginning of everything, even his mighty true form was rendered utterly powerless; there wasn't the slightest resistance. His body collapsed on the genetic level, breaking down into its most basic cellular form and scattering across a thousand-kilometer radius.

In this form, Chen Chu felt no pain. His consciousness remained clear, as if he had become the Heavenly Dao itself, quietly overlooking a newly formed world below.

As a being who had reached the late stage of the heavenly king level, Chen Chu's cells had long transcended the conventional protein-based structure. They were more like solidified energy fused with runes. These runes, interwoven into billions upon billions of cells, formed the foundation of all of his power.

The Supreme Power Principle, the five high-level laws, the six divine abilities, the Ancient Duel Mark, the Hell's Eye, the Azure Dragon bloodline, the Void Death Pupils, the Soul Splitter ability–every innate talent and power he possessed was encoded within those cells. Even the True Demon God Form he had refined and merged with, along with the Demonic War Armor and the Eight Desolations Creation Halberd, now appeared in an illusory form, silently floating in the void.

Boom!

Suddenly, a streak of purple lightning flashed within the golden-purple mist of blood. It burst out like the first light that split heaven and earth at the dawn of creation, with a thunderous roar that echoed through eternity.

This bolt of lightning seemed to herald the beginning of all things. Every one of Chen Chu's cells surged with immense energy, shining like stars scattered across the cosmos. The runes within each nucleus glowed with brilliant light.

At that moment, the entire universe seemed to awaken and begin a slow rotation. Some of the scattered cells started to gather on their own, guided by a mysterious pattern, while the runes within them fused and evolved.

Gradually, within that golden-purple "world," the towering phantom of a godly being began to take shape. Countless runes, like grains of sand drifting through the river of stars, swirled around the sleeping god. They wove themselves into immense and boundless runic sequence chains, forming a divine diagram that radiated a blinding sacred light.

Seeing this, Xie Chen, watching from outside, was completely stunned. "This isn't just a spike in cultivation... He's actually restructuring his True Demon God Form?"

Xie Chen had once witnessed Qian Tian absorb a trace of the primordial origin. Back then, deep within a stone statue ruin, Qian Tian had stumbled upon the primordial origin. At the time, he had only been at the late stage of the mythical level. Not fully aware of how precious the origin was, he absorbed a strand of it on the spot.

The result was a dramatic spike in cultivation, instantly pushing him to the middle stage of the heavenly king level. His true form also transformed, and his presence became more reserved yet noble.

Even so, Qian Tian's transformation, though impressive, still fell within the bounds of what could be understood. However, what Chen Chu was going through now was something far beyond a surge in cultivation. His True Demon God Form had returned to its origin, and his entire being was undergoing reconstruction. No one could predict what he would become.

Because Chen Chu's transformation was taking place within a sealed world deep underground, the outside world remained completely unaware. No one sensed anything. Only Xie Chen stood quietly outside, keeping watch over everything.
