A year later.

Far North, Icebound Forest.

The cold wind raged as snow drifted through the air.

Six Soul Rings pulsed around a blue-haired youth. With his eyes closed in concentration, he sat amidst the ice and snow. Before him, the body of a giant white bear burned, transforming into a ball of radiant flame that slowly entered his body.

Before long, the youth's six Soul Rings became seven: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, red, black.

His tightly shut eyes flew open, and a sharp aura, almost tangible, swept up the wind and snow before surging into the distance.

The youth rose to his full height and flicked his arm. A slender, graceful white-haired figure gradually materialized out of thin air.

Creating something from nothing—or even creating life—was a feat difficult even for gods to accomplish.

But with a spiritual imprint, along with the Soul Bone left behind by the other party, creating a body for a spiritual entity became much easier.

Using the power of the space within his body, along with a trace of the Source Power left behind by the system, the youth accomplished it with ease.

"From now on, your name will be Bai Ning." Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful woman before him, naked as the day she was born and completely unaware of it as she curiously examined her own body, the youth calmly tossed her a piece of clothing.

Bai Ning.

She had short white hair, a peerlessly beautiful face, a bewitching figure, and alluring curves.

Unfortunately, Ye Han had personally molded this body. Calling her his daughter would not have been an exaggeration.

As the first Soul Beast to sacrifice herself to him, the youth naturally would not mistreat her. He had fashioned her a body that could be called perfect.

The youth was none other than Ye Han.

Over the past year, not only had his severe injuries completely healed, but his strength had also soared thanks to the nourishment of an entire world, reaching the realm of a Rank 70 Soul Saint.

Yet compared to his other gain, the improvement in his Soul Power cultivation was hardly worth mentioning.

The void contained a mustard seed; within a flower lay a world; within a leaf, a bodhi.

Within Ye Han's dantian and sea of qi floated a small world, wrapped in gray, hazy Soul Power that swirled around it like a vortex.

After fusing with that strand of the system's source energy, his originally sky-blue Soul Power had become like this—chaotic and murky.

Though the color was unattractive, there was no doubt that this Soul Power was far stronger.

Not only did it possess greater destructive power, but it also held all kinds of inconceivable transformations. It could evolve into numerous elemental attributes such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It was more malleable, truly resembling the legendary energy of chaos.

The chaotic energy rotated, enveloping the former Slaughter City and establishing an inseparable connection with it.

Every day, every hour, every moment, every minute, every second, as Ye Han's cultivation grew, the space of Slaughter City also slowly expanded.

Ye Han looked inward and observed Slaughter City.

A pair of enormous eyes appeared out of nowhere above Slaughter City. Like the gaze of a god, they looked down upon all beneath them.

"Who exactly are you?"

Amid the ruined wasteland, a tall figure with a pair of fleshy wings on his back looked up at the sky. His eyes were filled with anger, but even more so with fear.

He was the Slaughter King.

That day, heaven and earth had collapsed, and all of Slaughter City had been reduced to ruins.

The Soul Masters who had lived there had either died or fled. Now, only he remained.

He was the Slaughter King, the ruler and king of this place. How could he possibly flee?

After an unknown amount of time had passed, he saw those eyes.

He had begged before, worshiping the other party as a god, but unfortunately, the other party could not be bothered with him at all.

The reverence he had initially felt had, with the passage of time, turned into anger and resentment.

He could not get out.

And not another living creature had ever appeared in this wasteland.

He knew who was behind this.

Ye Han watched the frenzied Slaughter King and smiled faintly. A strand of chaotic energy poured forth, and then, controlling his Inner World, he generated an immense pressure that forced the Slaughter King's tall body directly to its knees.

My world, my rules.

Within it, every rule depended upon a single thought from Ye Han.

A stream of energy as gentle as a drizzle slowly enveloped the Slaughter King.

"Aah!"

The Slaughter King screamed miserably. His face twisted in agony, veins bulging across his forehead.

Yet he could not move even a single finger. The divine light in his eyes flickered unstably.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams ceased, leaving only an aged figure standing there in a daze.

"Thank you!"

The aged figure slowly rose from the ground and bowed deeply toward the sky.

"Hehe, no need to thank me. The only reason I woke you up was so that one day we could have a fair fight, and I could kill you with my own hands in front of Bo Saixi." Ye Han let out a strange chuckle.

Tang Chen, who had only just regained his senses, changed expression and hurriedly shouted, "Who exactly are you? How do you know her?"

"Hahaha, want to know about my relationship with Bo Saixi? Think carefully, and perhaps you'll remember me. After all, you helped me quite a bit in getting her!"

Ye Han burst into laughter. His voice was like the tolling of an evening drum and morning bell, grand and imposing enough to make Tang Chen's body sway unsteadily.

"Ah! You... you... you're that youth named Ye Han?"

Tang Chen roared at the sky, his face somewhat twisted.

"Hahaha, congratulations, you guessed right. As a reward, I can tell you a few things. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Bo Saixi truly is wonderful."

The corners of Ye Han's lips curled upward, his face filled with wickedness. He looked exactly like a great villain.

"No, impossible! You dare insult her with words? I'll kill you!"

Tang Chen roared in fury, his face contorted as he raised his great hammer and smashed it toward the eye in the sky.

"Hahaha, stop deceiving yourself. It's not as if you didn't see the relationship between Bo Saixi and me. Enough. With your current strength, defeating me is simply impossible. Train hard, young man. Keep it up! I believe in you."

Ye Han smiled. Ignoring the old man whose rage was about to make him explode, he turned and walked back.

Not long afterward, he sensed a surge of heaven and earth Soul Power rapidly flowing toward him.

"As expected of a genius. This rate of absorbing Soul Power feels so good."

Looking inward with his spiritual power, Ye Han saw that Tang Chen had regained clarity and begun cultivating.

Smiling, he directly intercepted seventy percent of it, kindly leaving Tang Chen with the remaining thirty percent.

To cultivate in the space within his body and absorb Soul Power from the outside world, it had to pass through his body first. So, Ye Han had activated cheats.

To make this cheat powerful enough, he decided that in the future, he would capture more powerful geniuses and lock them in his Inner World, letting them cultivate properly, work hard to improve themselves, and become diligent, self-reliant people.

As for fairness, that was utter bullshit.

I've stolen your wife. Why would I talk to you about fairness?

Now I have cheats. Do whatever you want.

A life with cheats was simply this unreasonable.

Thinking of how his cultivation would continue soaring even if he did not cultivate, the smile on Ye Han's lips widened.

"What has you so happy?"

Just as Ye Han returned to Ice Crystal Castle with Bai Ning, who was as ignorant and innocent as a newborn child, a voice sounded beside his ear.

"I thought of something funny, so naturally I'm happy."

Ye Han smiled, then stepped forward and gave the blonde girl a sweet kiss.

"Wait, who is she?" Qian Renxue pushed Ye Han away and looked angrily at the flawless, stunningly beautiful woman following behind him like a curious child.

"Hehe, how's the body I made? Not bad, right?"

Ye Han pulled Qian Renxue into his arms, inhaling her alluring fragrance with an intoxicated expression.

"You made her so beautiful. What are you trying to do?" Qian Renxue was truly angry now.

"What's wrong with being beautiful? Think about it—you, me, Xue Er, Bing'er, we're all so good-looking. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to take out an ugly maid?" Ye Han said.

"She's really just a maid?" Qian Renxue did not believe him.

"Tch! What kind of person do you take me for?" Ye Han said speechlessly.

His standards were very high.

Unfortunately, Qian Renxue did not believe him, her eyes full of disdain.

Ye Han was speechless. He felt this girl needed to be taught a lesson, so he hoisted her over his shoulder and headed for the sofa.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"

Just as the passion between them was about to blaze into an uncontrollable fire, a childish voice, like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguished the flame that had just begun to rise.

Ye Han was speechless.

He felt that this little brat had been sent by heaven specifically to punish him. He had no idea how many times the kid had interrupted his good moments already.

"Children shouldn't ask about things they shouldn't ask about, or look at things they shouldn't look at. Understand?" Ye Han said with a stern face.

"Oh! Then what should I ask about, and what shouldn't I ask about? What should I look at, and what shouldn't I look at?" The little fellow nodded, then asked with an equally serious expression.

"Come here, come here. I'll tell you right now what you should ask about and what you shouldn't ask about."

Ye Han immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"Y-you be gentler. He's still a child." Qian Renxue's little face turned bright red as she grabbed Ye Han and said.

Next, Ye Han and Qian Renxue clearly taught Ye Chen what it meant for Mom and Dad to be true love, while a son was an accident.
