And, at this very moment, within the divine light, another bead emerged: the Chaos Pearl.
This bead, falling into the divine light, was the true Chaos compared to the divine light that Minghe called Chaos.
As the bead slowly spun, Minghe refined the chaotic divine light, using the bead as a center, spreading outwards like ink drops.
Only then did the chaotic divine light finally transform into true chaotic divine light, its power increasing by another level.
And at the very moment the chaotic divine light was truly refined, the Chaos Pearl within it gradually disappeared.
In its place, within the divine light, an image resembling a world slowly unfolded.
This was the projection of a world, a Great Thousand World, originating from the Chaos Pearl.
Vaguely visible within this world was a colossal tree, a Willow Tree.
It emitted a silvery-white radiance, supporting the entire world and nurturing its evolution.
This world had already taken initial shape, yet it remained desolate, with only sky and earth, vast and empty, containing nothing else.
Just then, suddenly, within the world, high above, waves of lightning appeared.
They formed a sea of lightning, with countless bolts striking down with a rumbling sound.
One could see the world changing rapidly as streaks of lightning fell, shattering the void. However, the void did not completely vanish but, under the continuous supply from the Willow Tree, continued to regenerate.
Constantly annihilating and constantly regenerating, the void became ever vaster and more stable.
And at the same time, on the land, streams of water also appeared.
These streams quickly converged, some forming rivers, some lakes, and even oceans.
Lightning striking these rivers, lakes, and oceans caused incredibly profound and complex changes.
It seemed as if life was beginning to emerge within the rivers, lakes, and oceans, though this nascent life was still very weak.
Or rather, these were merely microorganisms, and they were extremely unstable. It would still take a very long time for this world to nurture true life and sentient beings.
"Rumble!", "Rumble!"
Thus, Minghe continuously poured his magical power into this world, creating thunderstorms within it. He then used the Five Elements to manifest various substances, driving the world's development.
This world gradually gained much vitality. A world is not defined by having sky and earth; the most important aspect is the presence of life and sentient beings.
Without any life or sentient beings, it cannot be called a world. Only with the existence of life and sentient beings does a world have meaning.
The Way of Heaven, Earth, and Man: Heaven and Earth form the foundation, but Man is also indispensable. This "Man" refers to the life and sentient beings within Heaven and Earth.
There is a profound and intricate connection between these three, and none can be omitted.
Finally, with a thought, Minghe sent several Spiritual Roots from the Blood God Palace, including the Enlightenment Tea Tree, into this Great Thousand World.
Firstly, this Great Thousand World had truly become a world, filled with the aura of cosmic genesis, which would benefit these Spiritual Roots.
Secondly, just like the Hollow Willow Tree, these Spiritual Roots would play their respective important roles in the stabilization and development of the world.
Indeed, after planting these Spiritual Roots, Minghe felt that the Great Thousand World had become even more stable.
The Spiritual Roots and the world interacted, making the world more complete, as if filling certain gaps in its rules, and the world's development accelerated as a result.
Minghe even felt that the various rule-based powers of the world were gradually converging in the depths of the world, transforming into a higher form of power.
This power was World Power, also known as Heavenly Dao Power!
In other words, just like the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, this Great Thousand World was beginning to condense its own Heavenly Dao.
Minghe was not alarmed but delighted, as the emergence of Heavenly Dao was crucial for a world.
A world without sentient beings is incomplete, and arguably not even a world.
Similarly, a world without Heavenly Dao is also incomplete, with various loopholes in its rules.
Such a world would have little potential for development and would soon collapse on its own.
Because only with the existence of Heavenly Dao could it balance and regulate the world, allowing for stable development. When its rules operated, there would be no loopholes that could ultimately lead to collapse.
However, although the world needed Heavenly Dao, to prevent this world from spiraling out of control, Minghe separated a wisp of his divine consciousness, controlling the Heavenly Dao born within this world and transforming it into a clone of himself.
This way, the Great Thousand World would henceforth be entirely under Minghe's control.
And Minghe could freely wield the power of this world for his own use.
This was also why Minghe had decided to merge the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and use the Hollow Willow Tree to create the world within the pearls.
Possessing a Great Thousand World offered Minghe many benefits. Besides wielding its power for his own use, Minghe could also comprehend various world laws, rules, and principles by observing the development of this world.
Furthermore, Minghe could study the mysteries of Heavenly Dao, using the Heavenly Dao of the Great Thousand World to understand the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
After completing these tasks, Minghe slowly stopped. The projection of the world within the divine light gradually disappeared.
It reverted back to the Chaos Pearl.
Then, Minghe put away the Chaos Pearl, and the chaotic divine light vanished behind him.
But Minghe remained still, seated on the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
The Blood God Palace fell silent, appearing much emptier, as many of the Spiritual Roots originally planted there were gone.
All of them have now been transplanted to the Great Thousand World.
Minghe had just been practicing his Spiritual Power and refining the Great Thousand World, which was essentially testing his cultivation.
His cultivation had indeed reached the extreme below the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal level, with vast Spiritual Power.
Next was the true transformation.
It is said that all below a Saint are ants, and the same applies to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. Taking that final step from Hunyuan Golden Immortal to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal is the true transformation.
It is a sublimation, a leap, an unprecedented evolution of life, evolving into a body of laws.
The ultimate principle of Dao Proving Through Laws is: I am the law, I am the Great Dao!
Using laws to construct one's own physical body and Primordial Spirit.
This step is extremely dangerous, with the risk of losing oneself and being assimilated by the laws instead.
This is also known as Dao Transformation.
But Minghe remained firm in his conviction, using his will to merge with the laws, to control the laws, and to control this Way of Slaughter.
