Void

Invincible collapses to the ground, causing a small crater to form beneath him, while he clutches his head in agony.

It felt as though a sharp knife was slicing through his brain, and the excruciating pain persisted while he remained fully conscious.

Blood oozes from his seven facial orifices, trickling onto the ground and obscuring the area where it lands from sight.

Ignoring the blood, Invincible sits up and focuses on examining the Void, desperately searching for the source of his agonizing pain.

Within a short time, he realizes that the pain originates from his dantian, the very core of the Void.

To be precise, his Void and dantian were inseparable. His energy resided within the Void, which existed as a distinct realm governed by its own set of laws.

A heavy heart weighed upon Invincible as he realized that the pain was a repercussion of absorbing a living being. He hadn't experienced this pain before incorporating the egg into the Void, leading him to the logical conclusion that it was the root cause.

With his divine sense, Invincible delves into the depths of the Void, filled with awe and fascination. He comes to the realization that he had never truly explored this newfound wellspring of power before.

Contrary to expectations, the Void was an ever-expanding abyss, continuously pushing its boundaries outward.

At present, the Void stood at a height of 100 meters and a width of 20 meters. While it may appear modest, it should be noted that space rings, capable of sustaining life, are exceedingly rare and typically reserved for Immortal Venerables and higher. In this context, the size of this space was actually quite large.

At the bottom of the Void, Invincible observes a 10-meter-long and 3-meter-wide piece of earth, which had previously held the egg. He notices that it repeatedly collides with one of the borders of the Void, causing him pain with each impact.

Determined, Invincible employs his divine sense to relocate the rock to the center of the Void, ensuring a five-meter clearance on all sides. This action establishes a small landmass within this expanding realm.

Utilizing his divine sense, Invincible exerts control over the landmass, suppressing its movement and ensuring it remains fixed in the designated area he had established.

Having completed these actions, Invincible's pale complexion gradually regained color as he opened his eyes, relieved that the pain had subsided. He settled into a seated position and entered a meditative state, activating his Body Refinement Code, which drew the surrounding energy towards his body in a rush.

The Body Refinement Code, being the most potent cultivation technique in Invincible's repertoire, sets itself apart from conventional arts. It harnesses the energy around him, transforming it into resources to strengthen his physical body. This unique approach allows him to bypass the reliance on heavenly treasures or other naturally occurring treasures that other body practitioners typically require to advance their cultivation realms.

As the energy surged into his body, it underwent an instantaneous transformation into void energy. This conversion highlighted the stark disparity in quality between the external energy and the internal void energy. The sheer height of the void energy's quality remained uncertain, but it was undoubtedly of an exceptionally elevated level.

The energy surge entered the sole star within the Void, causing it to emit a power that rivaled the void energy. This potent energy swiftly repaired any damage Invincible had experienced, whether physical or mental, in less than a second, leaving him no time to react.

As realization dawned upon him, Invincible's mouth hung open in disbelief. The damage he believed would require at least a year to heal had been instantaneously repaired. The sheer speed and effectiveness of the healing left him utterly astonished.

Even at the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, healing from such an injury would be a formidable challenge, particularly when it comes to mental wounds. The swiftness with which Invincible's injuries were healed defied all expectations and surpassed his previous capabilities.

Reflecting on the situation, Invincible couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had never anticipated that Dao Blood would possess such a remarkable ability. It became clear why those born with this bloodline were revered as Dao Geniuses.

If individuals blessed with the Grand Dao bloodline were unable to reach at least the Immortal Venerable realm, it would be seen as a sign of their limited potential and lack of significance in the grand scheme of things.

Returning from his contemplation, Invincible furrowed his brow, realizing the need to discover a more efficient method to expand the Void.

While he observed its gradual growth as his realm recovered, he was determined to find a way for it to surpass his current level and become an ultimate trump card.

A sense of relief washed over Invincible as a realization struck him. By bringing a living creature into the Void, he had the potential to create his own garden of power in the future. However, he understood that the Void needed to be larger in order to fulfill this purpose effectively.

Considering the potential of his Void and the profound connection he felt with it, Invincible contemplates changing his title to "Voidheart Emperor", since his source of power has changed to the void.

Invincible thought of how to expand the Void and soon came to one possible way, which he found feasible.

He reasoned that since the Void originated from void energy, it should be possible to expand it by acquiring more of this energy.

Enthusiastic about his idea, Invincible assumes a meditation state and begins absorbing the surrounding energy, converting it into void energy through his Body Refinement Code.

Utilizing his divine senses within the Void, he directs the void energy towards one of the borders. To his delight, he observes that as the void energy nears the border, it is effortlessly absorbed, resulting in the gradual expansion of the Void, one foot at a time, until it eventually reaches a halt.

Observing the expanded Void, Invincible nods in affirmation, satisfied that his idea proved successful. However, a new thought arises in his mind: if void energy can expand the Void, perhaps the void power possesses other capabilities as well.

Deep in contemplation, he gazes at the symbols of life and death, the red orb, the Divine Yang Tree, and the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. Realizing that the Void will be a constant companion on his journey, he resolves to ensure that it aligns with his desires and functions according to his will.

With a resolute determination, Invincible envisions the Void as a world under his dominion. He embraces the idea of becoming the master, the Lord of the Void, wielding authority and control over this realm.

Utilizing his divine sense, Invincible firmly locks down the star symbolizing life and death, contemplating his next course of action.

As Invincible considers the capabilities of the Star of Life and Death, he ponders the potential of the death aspect. While the life aspect replenishes his body, he wonders if the death aspect could potentially extract his life force or grant him the power of death in some way. Further exploration and experimentation may be needed to fully understand its nature and potential applications.

Contemplating the Star of Life and Death, Invincible envisions the possibility of transforming it into the Void's Dao of Life and Death. By integrating this concept into the essence of the Void, he seeks to unlock a profound understanding and mastery over the cycles of life and death within his realm.

Confident in his ability to transport and control life within the Void, Invincible firmly believes that transforming the Star of Life and Death into the Dao of Life and Death within the Void is an achievable goal.

Observing the Void, Invincible realizes that it lacks the influence of the Grand Dao or the Heavenly Dao, making it free from their constraints. Despite the taboo surrounding such attempts, he recognizes that the Void provides a unique opportunity to explore and manipulate the Dao of Life and Death without invoking the wrath of the Grand Dao.

As Invincible delves deeper into his exploration of the Void and its potential, he experiences a sensation akin to training to becoming an Immortal Supreme. It feels as though he has the ability to exert dominance over the surrounding daos, manipulating and directing them according to his will.

Amidst his contemplation, confusion engulfs Invincible. Despite his own experience with the concept of 'death' within the void, he questions whether he should possess the ability to control the death of others within his realm.

With those thoughts swirling in his mind, he ultimately decided to create his own Heavenly Dao.

In the Immortal Realms, the Heavenly Dao was the ruler of the world, they cast down punishment, however ruthless they were, but always left a window open when it closed the door.

In some cases, it would create treasures that even escaped its own control and influence.

This is stupid, considering one even with a simple mind would not make something that could harm themselves.

Invincible knows although the Heavenly Dao was powerful, it was not all-powerful since even the Immortal Emperors who passed their heavenly tribulation could overpower it and Immortal Venerable are said to be beyond the Heavenly Dao.

His Heavenly Dao would control everything inside the Void according to his will. He will be more powerful than Immortal Venerables in the sense that a realm is at his beck and call. Though in direct confrontation, he was but a mere fly.

One should not be confused, the Heavenly Dao are but the rules the world obey and the Grand Dao is what everything follows. While they seem to be the same, they couldn't be any more different.

One is the president of a company and the other is a section leader, they are both in leadership roles but the degree of power is less. If you get rid of the section leader, nothing will really change but if you get rid of the president, the company might collapse.

Looking at the Star of Life and Death, he started to think of what his Dao of Death would be responsible for.

In the Immortal Realms, the Dao of Death is what controls the reincarnation of souls but it was a good system since those who are powerful could abuse the system. His Dao of Death would be the same but with stricter rules.

Invincible decides to create an item that would directly control the Death Dao of the Void and allow a person that had an affinity with death to regulate it; however, he will create such an item after he finds the right things and knowledge to create it.

After figuring out what the Dao of Death would be responsible for, he focused on the Dao of Life. He decides unlike the Dao of Death that's responsible for all death, it would be responsible for giving life, through birth, so when one gets pregnant, the Dao of Life will send a soul over, whose memories were erased.

When he killed beings in battles, he would absorb their souls and hand them over to the Dao of Life and Death to deal with.

As an Immortal, it was impossible to reach the summit without battle, so he was not scared of fights, if anything he welcomed them, otherwise how could he grow to this height?

Looking at the other items inside the Void, he decides to stop for now since he had no idea what they would be responsible for,

Looking at the skies of the Void, he notices unknown to him, the skies have unknowingly become pitch black. Inside the sky, he notices two small auras that glow with divine presence as if they had been given a purpose.

Invincible looked around the Void and realized that unknown to him; the Void had expanded twice in size, reaching a length of 40 meters and a height of 200 meters.

The landmass had unknowingly dropped down to the bottom of the Void, becoming the land of this world.

The original rock had grown to reach the entire bottom of the Void as if it had merged into it, which shocked Invincible

The one big problem he was worried about and disappeared as soon as he was cognizant of it; talk about heavenly blessing!

Organizing the Void allowed the void energy to flow more smoothly, which indirectly allowed the Void to gain more access to energy that expanded itself.

Invincible just realized that the Void had more secrets than he's aware of, lying in wait for him to discover. He just hopes all these secrets were good and not bad.

Invincible decides to leave the Void and goes to that little girl he had sensed earlier to find out why she was here, and the connection she had to the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.

The Staff had trembled when his divine sense swept past her. It would be a miracle if there was no connection between them.
