Moreover, at that moment, another pearl emerged within the divine light: the Chaos Pearl.
When the pearl descended into the divine light, compared to the divine light Minghe had called chaos, it was the true chaos.
As the pearl slowly rotated, Minghe tempered the Chaos Divine Light. Centered on the pearl, it spread outward like an ink blot.
Only then did the Chaos Divine Light finally become true Chaos Divine Light, its power rising to another level.
And just as the Chaos Divine Light was truly refined, the Chaos Pearl within it gradually vanished.
In its place, an image resembling a world slowly unfolded within the divine light.
This was the projection of a world—a major world from within the Chaos Pearl.
Vaguely visible within that world was an enormous tree: a willow tree.
It radiated silvery-white light, holding up the entire world as it evolved and nurtured it.
This world had already begun to take shape, but it remained barren. There was only heaven and earth, an endless expanse with nothing else.
At that moment, bolts of lightning suddenly appeared high in the sky within the world.
They seemed to form a sea of lightning as countless bolts came crashing down with rumbling thunder.
The world began changing rapidly. Bolts of lightning struck down and shattered the void, yet the void did not vanish completely. Supplied continuously by the willow tree, it kept generating anew.
It was endlessly destroyed and endlessly reborn. Instead, the void grew ever vaster and more stable.
At the same time, streams of water also appeared across the land.
These streams rapidly converged. Some became rivers, some became lakes, and still others became seas.
When lightning struck those rivers, lakes, and seas, it produced an incomparably mysterious and complex transformation.
It seemed that life had begun to emerge in the rivers, lakes, and seas, though this newly born life was still exceedingly weak.
Or rather, they were merely microorganisms, and highly unstable ones at that. For this world to nurture true life and living beings, it would still require an extremely long time.
"Rumble!" "Rumble!"
Thus, Minghe continuously poured his magic power into the world, creating thunderstorms within it. He also used the power of the Five Elements to evolve all manner of matter and drive the world's development.
The world gradually gained much more vitality. A world was not a world merely because it had heaven and earth; what mattered most was that it possessed life and living beings.
Without any life or living beings, it could not be called a world. Only with the existence of life and living beings did a world have meaning.
In the Way of Heaven, Earth, and Man, heaven and earth were the foundation, but man was also indispensable. This man referred to the life and living beings within heaven and earth.
Heaven, earth, and man shared an immensely profound and intimate connection. None could be absent.
At last, with a thought, Minghe sent several spiritual roots from the Blood God Palace into this major world, including the Enlightenment Tea Tree.
First, now that this major world had truly become a world, it was filled with the aura of a newly born cosmos, which naturally benefited these spiritual roots.
Second, like the Hollow Willow Tree, these spiritual roots would each play an important role in the world's stability and development.
Sure enough, after planting these spiritual roots, Minghe sensed that the major world had become even more stable.
The spiritual roots resonated with the world, making it more complete, as though they had filled certain gaps in its laws. As a result, the world developed even faster.
Minghe could even sense the various powers of law within the world gradually gathering in its depths and transforming into a higher form of power.
This power was World Power, also known as Heavenly Dao Power!
In other words, much like the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, this major world was beginning to condense its own Heavenly Dao.
Rather than being alarmed, Minghe was delighted, for the emergence of Heavenly Dao was of utmost importance to a world.
A world without living beings was incomplete; it could not even truly be considered a world.
Likewise, a world without Heavenly Dao was incomplete, and its laws would contain all kinds of flaws.
Such a world had virtually no potential for development and would soon collapse on its own.
Only with the existence of Heavenly Dao, balancing and regulating the world, could it develop steadily. Only then could its various laws operate without producing flaws that would ultimately lead to collapse.
However, although a world required Heavenly Dao, to prevent this world from falling out of control, Minghe separated a strand of his divine consciousness to control the Heavenly Dao born from this world, turning it into something like one of his incarnations.
This way, the major world would remain entirely under Minghe's control from then on.
And Minghe could freely command the power of this world for his own use.
This was also why Minghe had originally decided to fuse the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and use the Hollow Willow Tree to open up the worlds within the pearls.
Possessing a major world had many uses for Minghe. Aside from commanding the power of this world for his own use,
Minghe could also observe this world's development and comprehend the laws, rules, principles, and other mysteries of worlds.
Furthermore, Minghe could study the mysteries of Heavenly Dao and use the Heavenly Dao of this major world to understand the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
After finishing all this, Minghe slowly stopped, and the projection of the world within the divine light gradually faded away.
It reverted to the Chaos Pearl.
Then Minghe put away the Chaos Pearl, and the chaotic divine light behind him disappeared.
Yet Minghe did not move. He remained seated cross-legged atop the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
The Blood God Palace was utterly silent and appeared much emptier, because the many spiritual roots that had originally been planted there
had now all been transplanted into the major world.
Minghe's earlier demonstration of his divine abilities and refinement of the major world had actually been a test of his cultivation.
His cultivation had indeed reached the pinnacle below the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. His divine abilities were vast and boundless.
What came next was the true transformation.
They said that all beneath Saints were ants, and the same was true of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals. Taking that final step from Hunyuan Golden Immortal to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was a true transformation.
It was an ascension, a leap, an unprecedented evolution of life—to evolve into a body of laws.
The ultimate principle of Dao Proving Through Laws was this: I am the laws, I am the Great Dao!
One used laws to construct one's own physical body and primordial spirit.
This step was incomparably dangerous. There was a risk of losing oneself and instead being assimilated by the laws.
This was also called Dao Transformation.
But Minghe held firm to his confidence, using his will to merge with the laws, control the laws, and control the Way of Slaughter.
