"His bloodline is similar to my True Dragon bloodline—it mysteriously aligns with a certain law. You could even say it's a divine gift."
Divine gift?
Xu Yuan understood what the Blood Demon God King meant.
The True Dragon bloodline aligned with the mythical True Dragon from his past life's legends, so even in terms of compatibility with the Dragon God's position, the Blood Demon God King surpassed the current Dragon God.
However, in reality, the Dragon God had come first and occupied the Dragon God's position.
Even so, though the Blood Demon God King couldn't condense the true True Dragon bloodline or ascend to become the Supreme God King, he still reached the half-step supreme level. Moreover, he was able to obscure the Dragon God's vision and lay plans against him.
True Dragon—this was a fate, a title that truly matched the essence of a dragon.
Thus, the bloodline Qian Nian had fused was akin to the Blood Demon God King's True Dragon bloodline.
But were there such bloodlines in the myths and legends of Xu Yuan's past life?
Recalling the myths and legends of his previous existence, Xu Yuan couldn't find a matching bloodline. However, Qian Nian himself seemed to correspond to a particular figure.
In the glimpse of the future Xu Yuan had once seen, Qian Nian's image matched that legendary figure from his past life.
Therefore, Qian Nian wasn't aligning his bloodline with some mythical creature but rather finally resonating slightly with that figure—not through imitation, but naturally.
This sparked a new question in Xu Yuan's mind.
Why had this happened?
Why did the True Dragon and that figure have such an influence in this world?
After all, they had no connection to this world at all.
"Could it be… someone has truly broken through the boundaries of existence and nonexistence, roaming through chaos, their influence spreading across countless realms?"
Now unable to find chaos, one could only create an alternative chaotic environment—was it simply because his realm wasn't high enough?
Xu Yuan let out a bitter smile.
Once again, his previous notions were overturned.
As for chaos, even Xu Yuan himself felt somewhat lost.
Did chaos truly exist?
Bringing his thoughts back, Xu Yuan focused his attention on Qian Nian.
"The fortune of the nine-gate families has far exceeded its current state, yet the population of the nine-gate families is small. When fortune is concentrated on fewer individuals, its impact becomes more intense. This year, Qian Nian is bound to undergo earth-shattering changes—not just Qian Nian, but the other five as well. They will likely receive extraordinary opportunities, laying the foundation for at least the eleventh stage."
As for the twelfth stage, Xu Yuan wasn't sure.
Because Qian Nian occupied such a large portion of the fortune, he naturally benefited the most. If he could ascend to God King, then the other five would definitely not reach that level. As for the twelfth stage, it remained uncertain.
So, at least the eleventh stage.
During the peak of the nine-gate families, their strongest fighters were at the eleventh stage.
In the blink of an eye, a year passed.
Xu Yuan stayed by Qian Nian's side, witnessing him step into the ninth stage.
As for the Blood Demon, he naturally went off to collect the bloodlines needed for his regeneration. Xu Yuan didn't know how much his strength had recovered, but every so often, the Blood Demon would return to meet with Xu Yuan. From his reactions, the collection progress seemed to be going smoothly.
"It's been a year, and I still haven't fully digested the laws within the Book of Will." Xu Yuan sighed.
He had always been confident in his comprehension abilities.
However, the changes brought about by the evolution of chaos in the Book of Will were too vast. The combinations of runes and the newly derived runes were overwhelmingly complex. Even after witnessing them firsthand, personally experiencing them, and spending this long digesting them, Xu Yuan still hadn't fully absorbed everything.
It was like trying to swallow an entire feast in one bite.
"A year has passed, and the self-evolution speed of the World of Will is nearing its end—the initial bonus period is over."
When the World of Will was first created, it was merely a prototype. Even without the push of chaos, it continued to perfect itself.
This was the instinct of a world.
Strictly speaking, over this past year, Xu Yuan had finished digesting the laws evolved from chaos. What remained now were the parts that had evolved independently over the past year in the World of Will.
Thus, it wasn't necessary to create a chaotic environment to evolve the World of Will.
The natural growth trend of a world could also be utilized.
"The next step is to introduce a group of sentient beings into the World of Will. Only then can the world be further perfected."
Xu Yuan contemplated: "With sentient beings cultivating, the laws will naturally improve. I need to provide a direct path to the laws for the lives within the World of Will, allowing their cultivation to help me refine the world's laws."
Master of Laws
Xu Yuan set the pinnacle of the cultivation system for his World of Will.
The highest achievement would be becoming the Master of Laws.
It carried a hint of the Dao Ancestor's essence.
Of course, the difference was vast. The status of the Master of Laws was far from reaching the level of the Dao Ancestor. Even transcending from Xu Yuan's World of Will wouldn't compare, because Xu Yuan himself hadn't reached that level.
"Sentient beings should be better nurtured by the World of Will itself. If I introduce external life forms, it might pollute the World of Will."
"To naturally nurture life within the world, I can refer to the many species I've encountered. But this requires chaotic energy."
With chaotic energy, the evolution of the World of Will could be pushed forward. Nurturing sentient beings was meant to address the lack of chaotic energy, replacing it to drive the self-evolution of the world.
Now, the order was reversed, leaving Xu Yuan utterly helpless.
He could only wait until he returned to Douluo to create the God Realm.
At that time, the chaotic energy obtained would have to be invested as much as possible into nurturing life.
"Before that, I still need to focus more on comprehending the laws of life."
All evolution required a foundation. In the World of Will, Xu Yuan had created the River of Time through sheer imagination—but even that was built on his already sufficient understanding of time.
Back in the days of the Dream Space, it had provided Xu Yuan with invaluable experience.
Now, evolving the ability to nurture sentient beings was one of the core functions of a world. Without a foundation of his own, even abundant chaotic energy wouldn't suffice.
"I haven't visited all the factions related to life on Falan Planet."
Xu Yuan recalled the factions on Falan Planet that excelled in life-related paths.
Names flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, he realized something was amiss.
"I seem to be unconsciously ignoring something."
The faint presence of a faction, barely noticeable in his mind, caught Xu Yuan's attention.
"The Blue Gold Tree Clan!"
And as he noticed this race, he followed the trail and grasped a clue—about Tang San.
"Blue Gold Tree, Blue Silver Emperor, life attribute…"
Xu Yuan smiled.
So that was it.
The opportunity to become the Supreme God King still lay with the misguided Blue Silver Emperor.
Though the Blue Silver Grass might be difficult to cultivate, if given the chance, it would inevitably follow the path of life.
After all, the Blue Silver Grass was most suited to the life path.
However, Tang San's early cultivation was largely ruined by a certain master.
