At this very moment, the one whose face bore the most unspeakable dread… was none other than the Seer of the Heavenly Oracle Clan, the most enigmatic figure in the universe.

As the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Oracle Clan, he was privy to truths few dared even dream of.

And it was precisely because of this knowledge that he came to realize that it was no ordinary Tier-7 Heavenly Tribulation, for he knew that no mere Tier-7 Tribulation could summon such terrifying grandeur.

Never mind the thunder or flames. That silent, ineffable oppression alone… had spilled over most of the starry expanse, and it was extremely terrifying.

“This is… this is…” One exclamation after another burst from his lips, even his long white beard curled upward, quivering with alarm.

“Supreme Principle… the Descent of the Chaos Sea!”

His voice cracked.

As he spoke, a brilliant jade tablet emerged behind him, glowing faintly like translucent moonstone. This was the Oracle Stone, an Imperial Artifact of unfathomable mystery, said to divine the secrets of Heaven.

However, each time it peered into the future, a new crack would etch itself across its surface.

To pry too long into fate was to invite its own ruin.

Even so, curiously… whenever a new era dawned, the Stone of Fate would miraculously restore itself, whole and unblemished.

No one knew why. Perhaps within it lay some secret even older than time.

And now… beneath the quiet whisper of the stars, the jade stone gave the Seer an answer, one he could scarcely believe.

“The descent of the Chaos Sea of the Supreme Principle? This… this must be a lie!” Shocked and terrified, his eyes widened with disbelief.

[The Supreme Chaos Sea, isn’t it the very embodiment of a Supreme Principle? Doesn’t that mean someone is drawing the Supreme Principle?]

There were ten Supreme Principles, and each one was incomparably profound, and was said to wield the might to upend the worlds. They were so mighty and unfathomable that in an entire era, the people who had managed to draw them were rarer than rare.

However, this was not what shocked him most.

What chilled his blood was when this was happening, the resurgence of Spiritual Energy had only just begun. In short, the entire era was still in its infancy, and yet someone… someone had already begun to shoulder a Supreme Principle?

Even if they failed to withstand its weight, the mere act of drawing down the Chaos Sea bespoke an unimaginable genius.

“What is with this era?” He whispered. “First, the Demon Emperor’ achieved the Seventh Order Physique… and now someone dares to bear a Supreme Principle…”

“I do not know.” Came the soft response from the Oracle Stone.

Its light dimmed for a moment, then flickered again.

“However, just now, I tried to divine, but all I saw was chaos. It was impossible to see anything…”

“This is natural, the Supreme Principles are beyond imagination, this is no longer we can look into the level of …” added the Seer.

He understood that the Supreme Principles were not things one could gaze upon lightly.

And yet, before he could reflect further, the Oracle Stone’s final whisper sent a shiver through his Soul, “But… I did see something… I saw a pair of violet Dragon Eyes… slowly opening… stopping me from seeing more.”

“…”

Silence, a long harrowing silence fell, as the Seer’s heart skipped a beat.

[Violet dragon eyes? And the power to block even the divination of an Imperial Artifact? Could it be…? Could it be the fleeting shadow once glimpsed in the void, the Void Clan’s Prodigy, that violet Dragon?]

The Seer’s shock deepened with every passing moment, and the color slowly drained from his face.

[If the one now drawing the Supreme Chaos Sea is a prodigy of the Void Clan…then all races will be in danger…]

The Seer’s heart grew heavy.

He knew better than anyone that the Void Clan and the Myriad Races were destined to clash. Their coexistence was all but impossible.

…

Meanwhile, as all eyes turned toward the Seer, a transformation had already begun to unfold in the Heavens above.

There, suspended between sky and stars, two Seas of Principles began to draw close.

One represented Time, and the other, Space.

Bit by bit, their auras entwined. The border between them blurred… and then vanished.

From that union, Chaos was born.

Two seas… now one, became even more vast, boundless, and terrifying Sea of Principles—the Supreme Chaos Sea.

It was a terror that defied description.

A pressure that knew no equal.

Even the mighty Tier-6 Overlords were like ants before the boundless Chaos Sea that now loomed overhead.

Every ounce of energy from that sea felt as though it could crush the stars.

And that fearsome Chaos Sea was now suspended above Yu Zi Yu’s head, expanding with each passing moment, relentless, ceaseless, as though it knew no end. With every breath, with every second, its boundaries surged outward, swallowing the heavens.

And with its expansion, its oppressive might grew heavier, sharper, more suffocating.

Time and Space, the two most elusive, most enigmatic forces in all of existence now melded. Merged into an ancient, unfathomable force since eternity, formed Spacetime.

“The Power of Spacetime… ancient and eternal…” A wisp of dim, ghostly radiance curled around Yu Zi Yu’s fingertip. At that moment, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

This was it. This was the Power of Spacetime!

It was a single thread of dim light… yet within it lay unfathomable depth.

If one looked closer, one would notice waves of ripples shimmering around it, warping the very fabric of space, as if there was a world hidden inside it.

And where they passed… even time itself seemed to slow, pause and freeze.

As they brushed against his form, a body forged from eternal storm, it too halted in place, as though locked in ice.

Such was the fearsome majesty of the Power of Spacetime.

And now…

Lifting his gaze toward the towering Chaos Sea above the heavens, a gleam of incomprehensible anticipation flickered in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

His physical body had already reached the Seventh Order.

To shoulder this Chaos Sea was no longer a matter of choice. It was destiny.

Even the oppressive might of the Supreme Chaos Sea could not crush his body.

And that… was the true measure of Yu Zi Yu’s foundation.

What the world feared. What others quaked before, be it the Supreme Chaos Sea or the Tier-7 Tribulation it birthed… to Yu Zi Yu, it was but a trial, nothing more.

What truly challenged him… was fusing Time and Space into Spacetime.

However, even for that, he had to thank Aurora for.

A thought of her crossed his mind, and Yu Zi Yu took a step forward.

Beneath the rolling catastrophe of the Tribulation clouds, he began to walk.

And in that next moment, as he lifted his hands. A Divine Flower, radiant with ever-shifting multicolored light, descended gently into his palms.

“You’ve done well…” As he spoke softly, the dim radiance encircling his fingertip stretched out, wrapping around the Divine Flower.

And in the very instant that Divine Flower was embraced by that thread of light…

*Booooom…*

Time froze, and even Space seemed to fracture, severed from the world.

In just a moment, Aurora was no longer here. She had been sealed in another Spacetime.

This was but one application of Spacetime, an extremely terrifying application. It cast someone into another dimension. Whether for defense or survival… it was unparalleled.

And yet… this was the simplest application of Spacetime.

Now, as Aurora, exhausted from pouring out her Quintessence, flickered like a dying ember, Yu Zi Yu took it upon himself to safeguard her.

Once he overcame this Tier-7 Heavenly Tribulation…

Once he had truly borne the Supreme Chaos Sea, and taken that final step into Hegemony…

He would scour the starry expanse for treasures. For her sake…

To restore her to full glory…

To stand before him once more, whole and unharmed…

And for that, Yu Zi Yu would not hesitate to hunt down the all the races in the universe.
