All the Star Realms, from the weakest to the most powerful, had already been completely subjugated by Ren Zu. Not even the King Realms, which represented the pinnacle of power in the God Realm, escaped his conquest. The profound art that allowed him to create countless avatars proved to be absurdly efficient for this type of campaign, enabling various realms to be conquered simultaneously in an extremely short period of time.
There was, however, a single exception.
The Brahma Monarch King Realm, the most powerful King Realm ruled by the human race, remained outside the dominion of his avatars.
The reason was quite simple.
Ren Zu had reserved that realm for himself and decided to conquer it personally.
And it ended up being a complete joke.
The instant Ren Zu revealed a small fraction of his power, dozens of the greatest experts of the Brahma Monarch King Realm who surrounded him to prevent him from invading exploded into mists of blood without even understanding what had happened. Shortly afterward, his aura enveloped the entire realm, crushing the heavens and the earth under absolute pressure. Faced with that display of strength, all intention of resistance disappeared. Everyone present knelt instantly, unable even to raise their heads before an existence that completely transcended their comprehension.
Initially, Ren Zu believed that the Brahma Monarch King Realm would react the same way as the Eternal Heaven King Realm, preferring to fight to the end to preserve its pride. However, he had forgotten a fundamental characteristic of that place. Everyone there was extremely ambitious...
For Qianye Fantian, power stood above any principle. Qianye Ying'er, his daughter, shared exactly the same obsession. The instant they witnessed the power Ren Zu demonstrated, both reached practically the same conclusion: before them stood an existence that had already surpassed the limits of the universe and reached the legendary realm of a True God.
If there was someone capable of revealing the path to that level… then any price would be worth it.
Father and daughter quickly reached an understanding. The idea was to use Qianye Ying'er's incomparable beauty to gain Ren Zu's trust and, little by little, uncover the secrets that had allowed him to reach that level. To them, this was simply the most rational decision possible.
Upon noticing the dedication of the two, Ren Zu decided not to use the 'Slave Mark' immediately. Instead, he chose to observe how far that performance would go. Thus, he remained for a few weeks in the Brahma Monarch King Realm as an illustrious guest, being treated with the highest courtesy. During this period, Qianye Ying'er remained constantly by his side. Despite the deep contempt she had always harbored for men, she never allowed her prejudices to interfere when there was something to gain. Becoming a True God was, at that moment, her greatest goal. If she needed to resort to her own beauty for that, she would show not the slightest hesitation. Moreover, there was another detail that even she had not expected. Ren Zu was simply perfect. His appearance, his bearing, his calmness, and the incomprehensible aura that surrounded him were enough to make even someone like Qianye Ying'er—who normally viewed all men with absolute disdain—begin to see him differently. For the first time in many years, she realized that there existed a man who did not awaken repulsion in her, but a growing curiosity...
Qianye Ying'er's reputation as a supreme beauty was already known throughout the God Realm. Alongside the Dragon Queen, Shen Xi, she was recognized as one of the two greatest beauties in the entire Primordial Chaos. It was said that together, the two possessed three-fifths of all the beauty existing in the universe—a compliment as exaggerated as it was famous among practitioners.
After meeting her in person, Ren Zu concluded that this reputation was not exaggerated. Qianye Ying'er truly possessed a beauty worthy of being called incomparable. She was like an immortal flower blooming at the peak of perfection—noble, elegant, and irresistibly seductive. However, that flower was also covered in the sharpest thorns. Behind her impeccable appearance hid a cold, calculating woman willing to sacrifice anything in the name of power...
For any other man, a mere glimpse of her figure would be enough to awaken uncontrollable passion. For Ren Zu, however, she only evoked a subtle feeling of appreciation, nothing more. Furthermore, he still remembered the promise he had made to Jasmine. In the original story, Qianye Ying'er had been one of those responsible for the events that culminated in the death of her brother. Although this timeline had taken a different course, Ren Zu did not intend to let her go unpunished. Thus, instead of resolving everything immediately, he decided to make her experience a bit of despair, deliberately creating a situation that would completely shake the proud and untouchable Brahma Monarch Goddess...
A few days after the start of his stay in the Brahma Monarch King Realm, news that he had conquered the entire Primordial Chaos finally reached the realm. No force had been able to offer significant resistance. The few who dared to confront him disappeared from history, while the others chose to surrender before a power impossible to challenge...
Upon receiving this information, both Qianye Fantian and Qianye Ying'er had their suspicions fully confirmed that Ren Zu had touched the True God Realm. After all, only an existence at that level would be capable of conquering the entire Primordial Chaos alone in such a short time... Paradoxically, this conclusion did not make them give up. On the contrary, the ambition of father and daughter only increased. In their eyes, this was an opportunity that might never arise again...
Unfortunately for both of them...
It was a plan destined to fail.
During the weeks he remained in the Brahma Monarch King Realm, Ren Zu frequently conversed with Qianye Ying'er. While she tried, in a subtle manner, to get closer to him and win him over, he, in turn, let slip some seemingly insignificant information about Qianye Fantian's past. The revelations were carefully calculated: insufficient to tell the whole truth, but more than enough to awaken deep doubts in Qianye Ying'er's heart.
Naturally, she began her own investigation.
It didn't take long for her to confront her own father.
Qianye Fantian immediately realized that all of this had been orchestrated by Ren Zu. After all, just moments earlier, his voice had echoed directly in his mind, ordering exactly how he should act from then on. Before an existence capable of subjugating the entire universe, disobeying those instructions would be completely useless. Even worse, it could condemn him to a fate infinitely more terrible than death itself.
Thus, he chose to confess.
Without any remorse, he revealed that he had been responsible for the death of Qianye Ying'er's mother. He also admitted that he had never seen his own daughter as a member of his family. To him, she had always been nothing more than a political tool, a bargaining chip meant to strengthen his position. His original plan had been to hand her over to the Divine Emperor of the Southern Sea, Nan Wansheng...
Each word was like a blade piercing Qianye Ying'er's heart. All the admiration, respect, and hope she still held for that man disappeared completely. Consumed by uncontrollable fury, she attacked her own father without the slightest hesitation.
The difference in power, however, was still far too great.
In just a few moves, Qianye Fantian completely destroyed her profound veins, leaving her crippled and unable to continue fighting. Then, in front of his own daughter, he abandoned the last remnant of dignity he still possessed. He knelt before Ren Zu and, without the slightest shame, offered Qianye Ying'er as his personal slave and plaything in exchange for the opportunity to receive his guidance and become even stronger.
Ren Zu merely cast him a look filled with absolute contempt. Internally, he was satisfied to see that Qianye Fantian had followed exactly the script he had ordered, exposing his own despicable nature without reservation. He then coldly declared that someone like him did not qualify to receive his guidance and expelled him from there as if discarding trash.
Only Ren Zu and Qianye Ying'er remained.
With her body debilitated, her mind completely shattered, and all the illusions she had nurtured since childhood reduced to ashes, she finally understood that the only man capable of granting her justice was Ren Zu. Completely abandoning the pride that had accompanied her throughout her life, she knelt before him and begged him to help her take revenge. In exchange, she offered everything she possessed: her body, her freedom, her future, and even her dignity. She declared that he could do whatever he wanted with her, treat her as a slave, or even sell her to other men, as long as he granted her the opportunity to take revenge on Qianye Fantian.
Needless to say, Jasmine watched the entire scene hidden. Upon seeing Qianye Ying'er discover that her own father was responsible for her tragedy and observing the hatred she harbored for him, Jasmine could not help but see a strange similarity between the two. However, before letting her husband help, she made sure to mercilessly mock the former Brahma Monarch Goddess and force her to beg for forgiveness in front of her brother's grave for everything she had done. Only after that, considering that she had already received sufficient punishment and that her revenge was complete, did Jasmine put the matter behind her.
Qianye Ying'er, for her part, was officially accepted by Ren Zu as his slave. Through dual cultivation, he completely restored her profound veins and directly elevated her cultivation to the peak of the Divine Master Realm. With her power recovered and strengthened to a level never before reached, she returned to settle accounts with Qianye Fantian, killing him with her own hands. From that day onward, she began to serve him with all her heart, without any hesitation or regret...
Ren Zu then planted a 'Slave Mark' on everyone in the Brahma Monarch King Realm.
Officially becoming the Emperor of the Primordial Chaos!
After being revered by all living beings as the Divine Emperor of the Primordial Chaos, nothing of real significance happened in the following years. Most of his time was dedicated to administering the vast universe he now ruled. Even so, this period was not unproductive. Among the countless opportunities that arose, the most important was obtaining the [Primordial Seal of Life and Death], a treasure that put him in contact with the legendary Goddess of Life Creation, Li Suo. Although she could be considered his master only in name, since he had inherited her legacy in its entirety, the two ended up growing closer and closer. After Ren Zu managed to bring her back to life, Li Suo became yet another of his wives...
Speaking of which, Ren Zu didn't even need to personally administer the vast empire he had created. All responsibilities fell upon one of his avatars, while his original body remained in the [Subspace], enjoying a tranquil life beside his women. Thanks to the dual cultivation performed with him, all of them successively broke through their own limits, reaching the peak of the Divine Extinction Realm—a feat that, under normal circumstances, would be considered impossible.
Meanwhile, Ren Zu himself devoted almost all of his time to refining the Primordial Chaos contained within his body. Over those years, he continuously perfected this process, consolidating his own existence and drawing closer and closer to the absolute pinnacle of cultivation. When this period came to an end, the refinement of the Primordial Chaos had already reached ninety percent. Only the final step remained to complete his transformation and ascend to the legendary Ancestral God Realm.
The peace enveloping the Primordial Chaos, however, was interrupted by a completely unexpected event.
Jie Yuan, the former Heaven Destroying Devil Emperor, had finally returned. Millions of years ago, she had been banished by Mo E beyond the Primordial Chaos Dimension, an absolute void where only destruction and chaos existed. Trusting in the power of the [World Piercer], she managed to survive in that inhospitable environment for countless eras. After an effort that consumed millions of years, she used the artifact once again to open a small breach in the Wall of Primordial Chaos, allowing her return to the universe she once called home.
Her first thought was simple: to find Mo E and complete the revenge that had sustained her existence for all those millions of years. However, even before she began her search, she realized that the world had completely changed. The Divine Race no longer existed. The ancient gods had disappeared, and the entire Primordial Chaos was ruled by a civilization entirely different from the one she knew.
While she tried to understand what had happened during her absence, Ren Zu appeared before her of his own initiative. Instead of resorting to force immediately, he initiated a long conversation, explaining the history of the destruction of the True Gods and Devils and everything that had occurred since then.
However, the real shock for Jie Yuan came when Ren Zu brought before her two extremely familiar figures: Hong'er and Nie Jie. Upon reuniting with her daughters alive and safe, all the resentment, hatred, and desire for destruction that had sustained her will for millions of years wavered for the first time. She felt deeply relieved and happy... Upon discovering that Ren Zu had protected, cared for, and treated both as members of his own family all this time, Jie Yuan began to see him in a completely different light. With unusual sincerity for someone like her, she admitted that she owed him an enormous favor...
Even so, she revealed an inevitable concern. She explained that fewer than a hundred members of her clan still remained alive in the chaotic void and that, inevitably, they would also return to the Primordial Chaos. After millions of years consumed by hatred, she did not intend to prevent them from unleashing their fury upon the world. The only promise she was willing to make was to ensure that Ren Zu and everyone connected to him would never be harmed.
In response, Ren Zu simply revealed a small fraction of his true power. The demonstration was enough to make Jie Yuan understand that he had completely surpassed even a Creation God, and could very well be said to have taken a step toward the Ancestral God Realm. Any remaining apprehension she felt disappeared immediately. If Ren Zu decided to act, not even her entire clan united would be capable of threatening this world.
When the survivors of her clan finally crossed the breach in the Primordial Chaos, Ren Zu resolved the situation quickly, subjugating them without difficulty and eliminating any possibility of future conflict. With the crisis ended before it had even truly begun, peace once again reigned over the universe.
Free from the weight of vengeance and, finally, reunited with her daughters, Jie Yuan remained in the [Subspace] beside Ren Zu. Through daily coexistence, she discovered that he had inherited the legacy of her former husband, as well as possessing countless other ancestral legacies and a talent that surpassed any genius that had ever existed in the Primordial Chaos. Little by little, the admiration she felt for him transformed into trust; trust gave way to affection and, with the passage of time, that feeling naturally blossomed into love. Despite this, Jie Yuan still carried a certain insecurity, believing that she might not be accepted because she was no longer 'pure.' Ren Zu, however, never cared about that kind of thing. He welcomed her without the slightest hesitation, dispelling all her doubts. Thus, Jie Yuan officially became part of his great family, taking her place as one more of his wives.
And so, several years passed...
He dealt with the Abyss of Nothingness as if he were remodeling an entire universe. First, he delivered a single palm strike, completely destroying that domain. However, before doing so, he needed to carry out a series of meticulous preparations. After all, the Abyss of Nothingness was not just an ordinary space, but a completely distinct world, parallel to the Primordial Chaos Dimension. If the Primordial Chaos Dimension overflowed with life, creation, and infinite possibilities, the Abyss of Nothingness was its absolute opposite: a domain of complete extinction, where there was no life, energy, or even the concept of creation.
One represented the World of Existence.
The other, the World of Extinction.
They were two sides of the same coin, opposite but indispensable to each other, sustaining the delicate balance that had kept the universe functioning ever since the Ancestral Goddess created it...
But Ren Zu was the new Ancestral God. Yes, he had finally ascended!
After completely annihilating the Abyss of Nothingness, he used his own 'Subspace' as the foundation to rebuild that domain from zero, rewriting its fundamental laws according to his own will. Instead of being opposites of the same coin, it would be more accurate to say it was like another plane of existence where immortals existed, unreachable by mortals.
Thus was born the Land of Immortals, an eternal realm created to serve as a home for his family and all those he chose to protect.
And it was also thus that the legend of the true immortal was born!
