The way the Creator was supporting him made it obvious that His plans were related to him. It was likely that the world He would hide in would be one of the small worlds formed from His actions.
He split his consciousness into infinite parts and sent them into every small world formed from the destruction of the Heaven of Balance.
Initially, these small worlds were completely lifeless, but with the Fragmented Heavenly Dao's power of Creation, they began developing slowly and steadily.
Soon, those Immortals, stripped of their divinity and memories, were freed. Freedom born in ignorance is still freedom, but it is a different kind than the free born in knowing. They behaved like barbarians at the beginning, but as time passed, they grew and developed intelligence.
Evolution took place, and those small worlds began to flourish.
Timeless also left behind a Great Inheritance connecting all those small worlds.
He created three inheritances — two fake ones and one real.
These three inheritances existed as three moons hung above every small world. Three moons for three truths: two mirrors and one hidden doorway.
They were visible from every small world within the Heaven of Balance.
He also created a key and split it into four parts.
This key would be used to enter the "fake" inheritance.
From that "fake" inheritance, one would find the "path" to the real inheritance.
This inheritance could allow any Immortal to ascend to the Heaven of Balance, regaining their freedom. Thus, it was known as the Great Inheritance of Ascendance.
The key was split into four tokens — Spatial Order, Temporal Order, Soul Order, and Elemental Order.
It had two important functions.
It could help a Rank 8 Warrior with a similar Spiritual Imprint become an Emperor, and it possessed corresponding law powers within them.
In fact, the cultivation stage of Emperor never originally existed. In the original cultivation system, a Warrior could become an Immortal directly after Rank 8.
However, it was Timeless's arrangement. He created an intermediate state between Immortal and Mortal — the cultivation stage of Emperor.
Why did he make all these seemingly meaningless arrangements?
He had calculated everything perfectly.
He understood Wang Xueyao's situation as well.
If he could calculate that the Creator would enter the small worlds of the Heaven of Balance, why couldn't the Angel of Wisdom do the same?
The Angel of Wisdom was far smarter than he could imagine.
Timeless understood the future direction before the simulation even began.
Wang Xueyao would definitely order someone to monitor all the small worlds and control them. She would reward those who stopped anyone from ascending and gather information about all top-tier Warriors. It would be done to monitor the appearance of the Creator.
Immortals were completely attached to the Heaven of Balance. She could easily convince them by appealing to their "righteousness."
All she had to say was: "I understand you can't forget your previous home, so I have an opportunity for you. Go and watch over the small world."
Immortals dared not refuse a Supreme's order.
At the same time, the reward from a Supreme was plentiful. Only fools would reject such offers.
In such a situation, where Immortals could control all mortals freely, his situation in a small world would be extremely dire.
To avoid this, he created the "intermediate" stage between Mortal and Immortal cultivation — the Emperor Stage.
After entering this stage, one could use some of the powers of Immortals, such as manipulating concepts. With this, they could gain pseudo-freedom and escape the control of Immortals.
He didn't reincarnate with his full memories.
Instead, he stored his memories in the "fake" inheritance.
He ensured that the inheritance was completely isolated from the prying eyes of Immortals.
With their abilities, Immortals could easily read the minds of all mortals and monitor them simultaneously. Thus, the biggest challenge was to actually enter the "fake" inheritance.
Therefore, he left a few arrangements in every small world that could only be detected by his clones. They would serve as crucial clues leading him to the "fake" inheritance.
In this way, Timeless simulated the entire future.
However, he still failed.
But he discovered the location where the Creator had reincarnated — Divine Spirit World.
End of Simulation.
Timeless Demon God's eyes turned deep.
He had lost all chances for further simulations.
He glanced forward into the foggy space, his mind calculating plans and strategies.
He smirked. "This time, it will be my victory! You possess no weakness, Master… but what if I create one?"
There were two boons left.
Timeless Demon God said, "O great Lord! Hear my first wish. At a specific point in time, I want You to make my Master, the Supreme God of Creation, fall in love with his 'Chosen One' in such a way that it is under the influence Immortals overseeing the Divine Spirit World — and that You acknowledge their couple relationship!"
What did Timeless wish to achieve by doing this?
First, making the Creator fall in love with someone would create a weakness in Him — one He never originally had.
Second, every being's marriage is acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. The moment a couple is acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao, they are treated as a single entity in its eyes.
The Divine Throne of Heaven is rewarded to those who succeed in refining it at the Saturation Point. It is a gift granted by the Heavenly Dao. In a situation where the Creator succeeded, having two successors to one title would certainly be… interesting.
The second wish Timeless asked for was the same as in the simulation.
"O great Lord! In a certain future, I wish to reset the law of time to a few hundred years in the past. However, in order to do so, I must ensure that everyone who died during that period is also revived. I am incapable of that, since the Primordial Spirit of every being returns to You after death. I can reset the timeline, but I cannot bring the dead back. Please allow me to interfere with all fragments of the Heavenly Dao, including those that have returned to You."
It must be noted that they are not treated as separate wishes if they are connected to each other.
The Heavenly Dao would never grant extra wishes. It calculates and balances whether your sacrifices are worth the boon you request. If it exceeds the value, you will not be granted the wish. If it is less, you may ask for more.
This time, Timeless didn't send meaningless reincarnations to every small world.
He only sent his reincarnation into the Divine Spirit World — the world where the Creator reincarnated.
He also made all necessary arrangements and preparations for that world.
Everything went as he had planned.
He first stripped himself of his Special Ability.
Special Abilities are also fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
He made himself mortal, but before doing so, he used one of the abilities of the Dominion Avenue —
Imperial Axiom: Declare a new fundamental rule for a bounded reality.
He created a fundamental rule that his mortal body would behave like a transcended Immortal body.
He divided the fragment of the Heavenly Dao into two parts and modified them, sending one part — containing most of his memories — to the "real" inheritance.
Six months later.
His cultivation had halved.
On this day, an intruder came to his abode.
Looking at the visitor, he said, "You are here."
Wang Xueyao smiled faintly.
She glanced at him. "It seems you expected this to happen."
Timeless sighed.
Wang Xueyao asked, "How did you lose so much of your cultivation?"
Timeless replied calmly, "Be careful of Master!"
Wang Xueyao narrowed her eyes. She had known all along that her master was still alive, but she didn't know where he was.
She said coldly, "You should worry about yourself."
Then she whispered softly — "Genesis Seed."
Even though she spoke only those words, she also used Dual Threading.
Genesis Seed is the ability of the Avenue of Vitalis, while Dual Threading belongs to the Avenue of Paradox.
Genesis Seed: Plants kernels that later grow into new living or active entities.
Genesis Seed planted abstract seeds in Timeless's command lines — from which he used his Avenues and Authorities.
Timeless instantly countered with Sovereign Bulwark and Harmonic Strike! Sovereign Bulwark was an ability of the Dominion Avenue, while Harmonic Strike belonged to the Harmony Avenue.
Harmonic Strike sent a wave that canceled a specific harmful chain of events moving forward.
Sovereign Bulwark created a rule-field that forced attacks against him to be judged by his own rules.
Using these two, he instantly countered Genesis Seed — but he couldn't bypass Dual Threading.
Dual Threading: Splits one identity into two linked, contradictory halves whose outcomes must remain entangled.
Due to this ability, a few seeds enforced by Dual Threading survived the Bulwark by hiding as contradictory laws.
Dual Threading also bypassed Harmonic Strike, since the two contradictory halves could be both harmful and helpful events at the same time. Being entangled, they exhibited both properties yet were neither, effectively bypassing the triggering condition of Harmonic Strike.
The Genesis Seeds left within Timeless would now continue to sap some of his power every time he used his Avenues and Authorities.
The battle continued.
Timeless was completely helpless. No matter what he did, he was countered — and with every passing moment, he grew weaker.
Two months later, he finally lost.
The reason he had survived so long was because of his trump card.
He possessed the Authority of Balance.
When he used Balance, he could bring any being down to his own power level, creating equilibrium between himself and his opponent.
However, as time passed, his cultivation weakened, and he could no longer sustain this Authority. The moment he lost control over it was the moment the outcome was decided.
Timeless had already prepared everything in advance. He knew he would lose anyway.
Wang Xueyao said lightly, "Bloom Shift."
Bloom Shift steers a system's future growth toward a desired outcome. It is an ability from the Avenue of Vitalis.
The moment she used Bloom Shift, Timeless's vitality began fading away. His body started turning to dust and disappearing without a trace. He lost control over his Avenues and Authority. There was no way left to defend.
He saw the incoming final blow and smiled faintly. "Bloom Shift… fitting. You destroy me with life."
Wang Xueyao said calmly, "Balance ends where creation begins."
Timeless smirked at her words. "Every end is just balance tilting toward another beginning."
She watched as his body scattered into golden dust — unaware that some dust holds a drumbeat that calls the next age.
With the death of the Timeless Demon God, a new beginning was marked —
The new beginning of the Heaven of Balance.The new beginning of the Divine Spirit World.The new beginning of Little Heaven, which overlooked every small world.The new beginning of the Immortal race, imprisoned in these small worlds, unaware of the freedom they once possessed.
