Body Expands
The years passed, and David's body began to change in ways he had not anticipated.It started subtly. His shoulders, already broadened by the Primogenitor's blood, grew wider by another inch. His height, which had stabilized after his breakthrough, crept upward by a fraction. His limbs lengthened, his muscles thickened, his frame expanded to accommodate the power that was building inside him."I'm getting bigger," he said one morning, staring at his reflection in the silver river. His face was still his own, the sharp features, the white-streaked hair, the eyes that had seen too much but his body was no longer the lean hunter's frame he had carried for decades. He looked more like a warrior now. A giant titan in the making."That is expected," Athena said, appearing beside him. "The immortal body is not a fixed structure. It grows and adapts in response to the power it contains. Your gene level is approaching eighty thousand. Your immortal energy reserves are expanding. Your body must
Law of Space
The body refinement was only one part of David's new routine. The other part that occupied his mind even when his body was resting was the Law of Space.He had comprehended one hundred patterns of Space before his breakthrough to Immortal. It was an achievement that would have made him a legend in the outside universe, a prodigy whose name would be spoken with awe. But David was not satisfied. One hundred patterns was impressive for an Immortal, but it was still far short of what the Dark Lord had intended for his Successor.The Law Monument room in the tiny house became his sanctuary. He spent hours there every day, sitting cross-legged before the statue of Space, the lattice of silver threads that stretched into dimensions he could sense but not yet see. The statue hummed with the patterns he had already comprehended, each thread vibrating at a frequency that matched his understanding. But beyond those threads, the statue extended into a darkness that he had not yet penetrated."Sp
Refining
The morning mist still clung to the silver river when David emerged from the tiny house, his spear already in hand. The amber sun hung motionless at its apex as it always did, casting long shadows that never shifted. He had grown accustomed to the strangeness of this secret realm, the way time seemed to bend, the way the fruit never rotted, the way the silence pressed against his ears like a living thing. What had once felt eerie now felt almost comfortable.Albert was waiting for him near the pagoda, his ancient form flickering in the amber light. Beside him stood Athena, her silver eyes tracking David's approach with that unreadable expression she always wore."You've been pushing hard in the pagoda," Albert said. "Sixty-seven levels cleared. Your combat instincts are sharper than any warrior I've trained. But combat is not the only thing that matters. Your foundation is strong, but it could be stronger. Your laws are deep, but they could be deeper."David planted his spear in the
Outer World Monster
The first level of the pagoda was a circular chamber perhaps a hundred meters across. The walls were the same white stone as the corridor, but they were covered in symbols that glowed with a faint, sickly light. The floor was smooth, unbroken, and at the center of the chamber, chained to the floor by bonds of crystallized law, something waited.It was not like any monster David had ever seen.Its body was humanoid in shape, but only barely. Its limbs were too long, its joints bending in directions that made no anatomical sense. Its skin was the color of bruised meat, stretched tight over a frame that seemed too thin to contain the muscles beneath. Its head was elongated, its face featureless except for a mouth that stretched from one side of its skull to the other. And it had no eyes. But David could feel it watching him.The chains rattled as the monster stirred. The bonds of crystallized law flickered, then the chain shattered automatically.The monster was free as if it was the m
Raw Power
David opened his eyes.The blood rain had stopped. The amber sky had returned to its motionless calm. The secret realm was silent, as if holding its breath, waiting to see what he had become.He rose to his feet, and the ground trembled. Not because he was heavy his body was perfectly balanced, perfectly controlled but because the power inside him was so vast that even his slightest movement disturbed the fabric of the realm.He looked at his hands. They were the same hands he had always had, but they felt different. They felt like they could grip the stars and pull them down from the sky.His skin, already smooth after the Primogenitor's blood, now had a faint luminescence that was visible even in the amber light. The white streaks in his hair had expanded, forming a crown of starlight that contrasted sharply with the black.His gene level had stabilized at fifty thousand.Fifty thousand. The number was absurd. Most Universe Lords never reached fifty thousand; they broke through to t
Universe Trembles
In the human territories, Matilda felt the phenomenon like a blade pressed against her throat.She was in her private meditation chamber, the one place in the ancestral house where no one dared disturb her. The walls were lined with cultivation resources worth more than entire star systems, and the air was thick with energy that had been purified a thousand times over. It was the perfect environment for an Universe Lord to contemplate the laws.But now, the air was wrong. The energy was wrong. Everything was wrong.The blood rain had not reached the human homeworld; the phenomenon was scattered, unpredictable, manifesting differently in different places but Matilda did not need to see the rain to feel its source. It was a pressure in her soul. A weight that pressed against her from every direction. A terror that had no name and no explanation.She opened her eyes and found that she was shaking."What is this?" she whispered.She reached out with her senses, trying to locate the source
