Let there be light

Let's call this world system "Heavenly Land".

Floating on Sea of Mist is like floating on the horizon; hence the name "Heavenly Land" is quite fitting.

Within the Spirit Void.

Jiang Yuu's mind scanned this seemingly perfected Heavenly Land World, naming the system of this new world in his mind.

Then.

He gazed upon this new world and began to ponder the path ahead.

Following the practices of his predecessors—specifically, those of the Eye Emperor and the Emperor of Humanity whom He could see—they would begin by directly building upon this new world, and then layering an even more advanced "world" within it.

Ultimately, these more advanced worlds emerged one by one, accumulating into a vast "world," which is the Land of Being.

And they all use this to build the entire system of the Land of Being.

It goes directly from "0" to "1", from "1" to tens of thousands, and then undergoes hundreds of millions of years of evolution, until it can be formed in Land of Being.

This approach carries high risks but also high rewards; some Transcendence these risks in one step, becoming Emperor of Humanity in the process.

Some, like the Eye Emperor, are lost in endless illusions, unable to awaken.

But Jiang Yuu You didn't want that.

He has a new idea.

"The path to creation can be divided into several stages, gradually perfecting the construction of the Land of Being."

"Starting small and gradually increasing the risk allows you to accumulate experience and achieve success step by step."

"Thus, the path of Transcendence creation is also my path of trial and error."

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and inspiration flowed forth like a spring, slowly revealing a creation plan.

In Jiang Yuu's creation plan.

Creation must be done step by step.

He did not intend to do what the Eye Emperor did, wanting to achieve the goal of creating a Land of Being in one step.

As a result, he fell into a deep sleep from which he could never awaken.

He planned to first create a world. If this world was successfully born and could grow and thrive, giving rise to living beings and a sustainable civilization, then this world would be considered a success.

Then, based on this world, we will gradually build the framework of the Land of Being, replicate this model, and complete the construction of the entire Land of Being.

Although this method is a bit more troublesome, it is more reliable.

This world that He originally created can be called the Primordial World.

It's as if He is conducting a creation experiment in this world.

All kinds of living beings born within will be collected by Him and given birth in the endless worlds of the future.

And He, in each creation, could contemplate how to Transcendence.

Amidst each flash of inspiration, Jiang Yuu You felt a touch of joy.

"My creation of the world need not follow the example of the Emperor of Humanity, nor need it be the same as the Eye Emperor; I have my own path."

"I divide creation into several stages, each stage being an era."

"If creation fails, the world is destroyed and a new cycle begins; thus, one such Reincarnation constitutes one era."

"The Path of Transcendence is related to the process of creating the world."

"In creation, what is related to Transcendence?"

"The Four Primordial Orders? The creation and propagation of living beings? The birth of civilization? The confirmation of Transcendent system? Or the sublimation and fulfillment of the soul?"

"Or perhaps, it's about transcending the Land of Being we created, detaching ourselves from it, allowing it to return to its natural origins, and removing all traces of human creation?"

"I don't know anything about it yet."

Jiang Yuu sighed inwardly.

He also knew that even if the Emperor of Humanity were present, Transcendence was something that could neither be explained nor spoken of.

Everyone's Transcendence is different.

Once you've spoken, it's like leaving your mark on the other person, making it impossible for them to continue.

After pondering for a long time.

Jiang Yuu finally suppressed his thoughts on Transcendence and returned to where he started.

"Now."

"My vision of the world has been fully constructed; the next step is to put it into practice."

"And what I must do now is to embark on the journey of creation, to begin the path of creation for the first era."

He had made up his mind to begin the first step of creation.

In any case, in His plan, He is willing to try and fail, and He is not afraid of making mistakes.

However, before creating a world, a stable environment needs to be provided for this new world, serving as a bridge between nothingness and existence.

And this medium is Chaos!

Chaos is a product of existence and non-existence, but strictly speaking, Chaos is contradictory.

Chaos belongs to "existence".

Because Chaos can be seen, can be named, and can contain things.

But Chaos also belongs to "nothingness," and ordinary living beings and common things cannot exist in it.

Chaos exists in a "Schrödinger" state.

Therefore, Jiang Yuu made a decision.

The Land of Chaos serves as a transition to the Land of Being.

This is the same as the Emperor of Humanity and the Eye Emperor; it is also the first step from nothing to something.

then.

The moment He made His decision.

Jiang Yuu's aura suddenly changed, from being restrained to bursting forth with boundless power once again.

A Monarch with Land of Being, a great Emperor, once again displayed the demeanor and dignity he deserved.

then.

On this magnificent Divine Throne amidst the True Nothingness, Jiang Yuu, whose eyes had been closed for millions of years, suddenly opened them.

Those Platinum holy eyes instantly stared directly into the True Nothingness.

at the same time.

Endless holy light rose from His body.

then.

He calmly rose from his Divine Throne, faced the boundless True Nothingness surrounding him, and solemnly proclaimed.

"From nothing to something, from '0' to '1'."

"It's beyond human capability?"

"Human effort can still be made!"

"Now I proclaim in the name of Lord of Heaven Yuliel!"

"With willpower as the sword and brilliance as the axe, shatter the True Nothingness and open the Chaos!"

"I said, 'Let there be light!'"

Words become law!

Instantly.

An incomparably powerful will forced through all obstacles, piercing through all directions and suppressing the surrounding area.

Then, an immeasurable and inexhaustible Platinum radiance swept across all directions, suppressing the endless True Nothingness.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Boundless radiance and an unparalleled will burn and collide within the True Nothingness!

It was as if they were waiting for a miracle to happen, a magical explosion.

And this period of time is not short.

Before the Divine Throne, the King of Glory unleashed a power and will that was enough to shatter countless universes and suppress an Land of Being.

But here, in this place where there is nothing—no matter, no energy, no concepts—will and radiance seem to strike empty air, having no effect whatsoever.

But Jiang Yuu You didn't stop; instead, she continued doing this action.

He understood.

What He wanted was nothing more than that moment of "true meaning" arising from True Nothingness, from the very essence of nothingness.

after all.

If we only consider creation, He Himself is the part of "existence," so wouldn't it be simple to directly create the Land of Being with His own physical body?

But how can one Transcendence this?

The matter and energy within Him were born from one Land of Being, so how could they be sufficient to create another Land of Being?

Therefore, He needs to create something from nothing, He needs that bit of "true meaning".

And "meaning" is both "one" and infinite!
