The Second Step of Chaos had finally been achieved.
For Li Yu, this was already an enormous leap, a transformation of his very essence.
All along, Li Yu's cultivation path had advanced the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit in tandem. At his current realm, "essence" and "qi" had already reached their endpoints. He was only one step away from truly becoming a Chaos Sovereign, the origin of all things.
But the last stretch is always the hardest. The closer one gets to the finish line, the more difficult the road ahead becomes.
This final step, "Spirit transformed into Chaos," meant turning his spiritual soul and consciousness into a Chaos Form.
What state was Chaos?
There was no order or law, no matter or energy. Everything returned to nothingness.
If his spiritual soul became Chaos... where would his consciousness be? Where would his memories be? Where would "I" be?
That was the greatest problem!
If consciousness and memories were both gone, then naturally, "I" would no longer exist.
This Third Step of Chaos is the greatest hurdle!
A sword rose from the lake of the heart, slaying others and slaying oneself alike! It sounded easy enough, but doing it was difficult.

He raised his eyes toward this real world, devoid of even a trace of spiritual qi, where everything was so "scientific." Li Yu suddenly discovered that this mundane space was actually at the very center of the Pearl of Origin.
The entire world
