From what Ye Xuan understood, civilizations like the Immortal Dao World were powerful, but their potential was ultimately limited. They found it difficult to truly reach the summit. That was not what he sought; he wanted a world with genuinely limitless potential.
Such worlds with exceedingly profound potential were often called Mythical Worlds, or Mythical God Kingdoms.
As the name implied, Mythical Worlds were worlds created from legends. They contained Projections of creatures from myths and legends, and once the world's level was high enough, they could even truly give birth to mythical creatures.
"Very good, Qin Ji. You may go home now. Next semester, you can advance directly into the Third Year!" The examiner recorded something in his booklet, drawing a circle for emphasis and writing behind it: Created an Extraordinary Magic World, directly advanced to Third Year.
"Alright, thank you, Teacher!"
Qin Ji replied calmly, a faint smile appearing on his face. Before leaving the classroom, he turned to glance at his classmates. His gaze lingered on Ye Xuan for several seconds in particular. He smiled slightly, his eyes carrying a trace of disdain.
From this moment onward, Ye Xuan, who had once been his equal in theoretical knowledge, could only watch his back from behind. As for the other students, they were no longer people from the same world as him.
"Alright, students, continue the examination!"
As time passed, other students gradually began opening up their worlds, while Ye Xuan, whose theoretical knowledge was exceptionally rich, had yet to create a world.
Many students realized that their comprehension was insufficient to create a world and promptly gave up. Those students who had given up began chatting instead.
"Why hasn't Ye Xuan created a world yet? Haven't his grades always been pretty good?"
"Maybe he's trying to create an incredibly powerful world. Perhaps he's unwilling to settle for an ordinary one..."
"That's very possible. After all, he's Ye Xuan, the genius ranked first in both theory and practice!"
Although some students were chatting, it did not actually affect those creating worlds. Once someone immersed themselves in creating a world, they would not be disturbed by the sounds around them unless they voluntarily withdrew their consciousness.
That was also why the teacher did not stop them from talking.
Just as they were discussing Ye Xuan—
An incomparably terrifying aura erupted from Ye Xuan.
Buzz—
The gazes of everyone who had given up were drawn to the world floating above Ye Xuan's head. It was an endless darkness, gray and hazy, with nothing visible within it.
Yet such a world actually radiated a terrifying aura. A presence both chaotic and orderly spread from within it.
There was nothing in this world. No life, no void, no time—nothing at all.
This was a Chaotic World!!
"What kind of world is this? Why is there nothing in it? There isn't even any land?"
"Yeah, it's normal for there to be no sun, moon, or Stars. Those can slowly come into being later. But there isn't even any land or planets here. There's nothing at all! How the hell is life supposed to emerge?!"
"Isn't this just a space? There isn't even the aura of laws inside it. Can this even be considered a world?"
"Ye Xuan, who ranked first in both theory and practice, actually created this damn thing?!!"
Everyone was utterly baffled by this world. Based on the knowledge they had learned, this thing could not even be considered a world. At best, it could barely count as a space!
And the one who had created this world was Ye Xuan, who was usually ranked first in both practice and theory!!! How could they not be shocked?
"This is..."
"A Chaotic World!"
Only the examiner, standing on the platform, stared at the world Ye Xuan had created with astonishment and cried out.
"Teacher, what is a Chaotic World?"
After hearing the examiner's words, a student asked curiously. He had never heard of a Chaotic World before.
The examiner suppressed his shock. This was the first time in his life he had seen such a world. Previously, he had only read a few scattered records about it in books.
"A Chaotic World, where nothing exists!"
"There are no laws! No concepts of any kind! Even fundamental laws used to construct worlds, such as space and time, cannot manifest within it. It is a very strange world, but it possesses no power. It does not even have the Life Law, which means it cannot nurture life. And a world that cannot nurture life..."
"In other words, this world is a Waste World with no potential whatsoever..."
After hearing the examiner's explanation, the students began whispering among themselves again.
"A Waste World? There's actually a world like that?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of it..."
"If Teacher says so, then it must be true. Sigh, for such a world that exists only in legends, I wonder whether Ye Xuan is lucky or unlucky..."
The students' earlier shocked gazes changed, becoming filled with pity as they looked at Ye Xuan.
Although they had failed to open up a world, they still had another chance, then another after that, and even as many as nine chances. Yet this top student, ranked first in theory and practice, had actually created a Waste World.
A Waste World could not give birth to any life, nor could laws be infused into it. It had no future. It was an abandoned, useless world with no prospects whatsoever.
And if one wanted to destroy their world without dying and create another one anew, the price involved was simply not something ordinary people like them could bear.
In other words, Ye Xuan was finished for life...
The examiner did not concern himself with that. Although Waste Worlds were exceedingly rare, his task was to select students capable of creating worlds. As long as they had created one, it counted, even if it was a Waste World.
He recorded Ye Xuan's name in the register just as he had Qin Ji's, drawing a circle around it as well. However, the note behind it read: Created a Chaotic World, Waste World, enter the Second Year Regular Class.
"Ye Xuan, you may leave now. Next semester, you will enter the Second Year."
After hearing the teacher's words, Ye Xuan ignored the strange looks from his classmates and strode outside, paying no heed to the comments about him behind his back.
"A Waste World? What a bunch of ignorant fools! I don't know how much effort I spent creating this Chaotic World, and in this world, it's actually called a Waste World?!"
"Ridiculous!"
Ye Xuan sensed the desolate world in his mind and gave a soft laugh.
He only felt that the people of this world lacked vision. They had never witnessed the might of Chaos, nor did they understand what Chaos represented.
But he knew perfectly well just how immense Chaos's potential was!!
A Chaotic World, where laws could not arise?
That was because what existed within Chaos were Great Daos! Before Great Daos, what the hell were laws? They were merely derivatives!
No life existed?
Did you know that there was a type of being nurtured by Great Daos? You did not, but Ye Xuan did. They were called Great Dao Divine Demons!!!
The Three Thousand Great Daos could nurture beings within it, evolving lifeforms born from Great Daos. Yet such a world with boundless potential was actually considered a Waste World?!
