Eternal Thief

The Fire Law began flowing through the spatial network, and wherever the flame passed, Space distorted slightly, for the flames didn’t merely occupy space; they interacted with it.

Some flames became compressed into tiny points, burning with terrifying intensity, and others expanded across enormous distances, becoming vast seas of black fire.

Ace stared in amazement as he mused, ’The Spirit Fire is using Space to control its own form while also integrating the Fire Law at the time in the world? Didn’t this mean the Fire Law has assimilated into the world on its own despite not selecting it? Is that even possible? Could other laws also assimilate into a world without any need to break through? Or is it just a unique situation because of the Spirit Fire?’

Ace felt as if he had stumbled upon a huge secret and probably one of the hidden functions of his Primordial World of Darkness.

The Fire Law had already undergone a profound mutation because of the Crimson Netherflame Origin, and now, with Space integrated into his world, its potential became even greater.

The black flames began forming enormous rivers across the world; some flowed beneath the earth, and some climbed into the heavens, while others disappeared into spatial folds and emerged thousands of miles away.

The Spirit Fire had effectively become another circulation system inside the world, and then the Law of Destruction touched it. Instead of extinguishing the flame, Destruction made the fire more violent.

Creation immediately followed, causing the flame to reproduce; Darkness enveloped it; and lastly, space separated and redirected it.

For several breaths, Ace simply watched with profound curiosity, and then his expression slowly changed.

’The Primordial World has really accepted the Fire Law accumulation without any rejection!And now, they’re not merely integrating anymore...’ Ace’s heart began pounding with shock and disbelief. ’They’re forming a World Cycle mentioned in the cultivation technique?! But shouldn’t this be happening at the Ascension Guardian Realm?’

’RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!’

The entire Primordial World shook as the laws suddenly moved simultaneously; creation produced, destruction removed, darkness absorbed, space circulated, Astral Law illuminated the heavens, and Fire Law transformed energy.

Each law fed into the next, and the previously independent laws were gradually forming the first World Cycle!

Ace didn’t have time to marvel at this unique situation for the next moment; his body trembled, and he could feel the change happening directly through his cultivation heart.

His cultivation heart was no longer simply connected to his world; it was beginning to function as the World Core, and its pulse became synchronized with the world.

’THUMP...’

The world moved.

’THUMP...’

The laws circulated.

’THUMP...’

Space expanded.

’THUMP...’

Creation and Destruction alternated.

Ace’s aura suddenly erupted at that moment...

’BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!’

The entire underground chamber shook violently, and countless spatial ripples spread through the earth, but Ace wasn’t worried about someone noticing them since the outside situation was too chaotic for someone to pay attention to him.

Inside Ace’s cultivation heart, however, the transformation had reached its climax, and the Nascent Primordial World suddenly began compressing. But it wasn’t shrinking; instead, it was condensing.

The boundaries of the world became increasingly solid; previously, they had been like a thin membrane, but now they became layers. One layer after another formed, and the boundary continuously thickened.

Primordial Darkness covered the exterior; Spatial Law formed countless layers within it; Destruction strengthened the boundary by eliminating unstable fragments; Creation continuously repaired and expanded it; and Astral Law spread across the outer regions.

The world was becoming incomparably stable.

At that moment, the entire world suddenly stopped, and Ace’s eyes widened as everything fell silent; the stars stopped moving, the flames froze, the rivers ceased to flow, even Space itself seemed to stop.

Suddenly, in the center of his inner world, the Dark Void seemed to swirl and become even deeper, like an endless abyss, and an unknown power slowly seeped out.

This unknown power spread and covered the Eternal Thief Fate Compass above it, and the Primordial Beast Space below it. Even the small crystal bead with black ethereal patterns, surrounded by a dark, ethereal flame, the Soul Resurrection Bead, was covered by it.

Ace’s heart skipped a beat when he sensed that unknown power spreading from the Dark Void. After all, the Dark Void was the core of his very foundation, and every time he broke into a new realm, it always brought unexpected surprises.

As the unknown power slowly expanded, suddenly, the mysterious runes he had absorbed from the Law of Destruction Thunder also surfaced over the entire world like a spider web.

It was as if this power were a condensed manifestation of his Primordial Foundation; in the next moment, Darkness became its foundation, Creation became its ability to establish existence, Destruction became its ability to eliminate instability, Space became its ability to establish structure, Astral Law became its celestial framework, and Fire became its transformative force.

Finally, the mysterious runes became an invisible net holding the world together and harmonized it, and all of them converged toward the center where the Dark Void lay.

’BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!’

Thereafter, from the Dark Void, a dark blue ring filled with countless pitch-black glyphs suddenly expanded from the center, and it swept across the entire world.

Ace’s pupils trembled as he instantly recognized those glyphs; they were his Cultivation Technique recorded in the Ancient God Language!

The instant that ring passed, everything stabilized. The mountains became mountains, the oceans became oceans, the heavens became heavens, the stars became genuine celestial bodies, the spatial distances became fixed, and the laws became organized.

Not only that, the chaotic Primordial Spirit Qi began circulating naturally as the world had finally crossed the most important threshold. It was no longer merely a Nascent World, but it had become a World Embryo!

’It finally formed...’ Ace was ecstatic, for he could sense it.

The world was still far from complete, and there was no true life cycle yet, nor were there any genuine living beings; the laws still relied heavily on his cultivation.

The world’s independent circulation was still extremely primitive; its core was incomplete, and its boundaries still needed countless refinements. But the foundation had changed, for it had acquired the skeleton of a true world.

The Primordial World of Darkness had entered the World Embryo State!
