"I... transmigrated?"
An astonished voice rang out from a mass of primordial chaos in the dark, fathomless universe.
This mass of primordial chaos was terrifying beyond measure. A single ray of light emanating from it illuminated all the heavens and worlds, spanning boundless greater planes!
Sacred, majestic, domineering!
None could gaze upon it directly, nor dare offend it!
After sorting through all the information, Lu Chen was utterly stunned.
He had indeed transmigrated, and he had become the master of the Light Universe, the Heavenly Dao Emperor!
He could unleash one hundred percent of the Heavenly Dao Emperor Armor's combat power!
Not the watered-down version Ziyang had in the movie.
Even Xiang Yang, who supposedly possessed the purest Five Elements Bloodline, could not compare to him.
Because Lu Chen was now the Heavenly Dao itself!
"With a start like this, I'm invincible."
Lu Chen sighed with deep feeling.
Heh.
I'm the Heavenly Dao itself. Tell me, how am I supposed to lose?
Then Lu Chen learned more.
What he discovered sent waves of belated fear through him.
The Heavenly Dao of the Ming Realm had still been gestating at the time. Ten minutes before it would have developed self-awareness, the transmigrating Lu Chen had completely supplanted it!
Had he arrived just ten minutes later, Lu Chen would have been mercilessly erased.
He would have been erased completely from the very source of the river of time!
Past, present, and future alike!
Every Lu Chen across the countless, boundless parallel universes would have been utterly annihilated!
He had poured all the good karma from hundreds of lifetimes into his luck!
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Lu Chen frowned slightly, sensing something amiss.
Something outside the primordial chaos seemed to be suppressing and rejecting him, making him feel an oppressive weight.
Normally, this should have been impossible.
This was the Ming Realm, and Lu Chen was the Heavenly Dao itself. Everything within the Ming Realm was under his control. There should have been no unforeseen variables.
Unable to determine the cause, he could only set it aside for now.
Lu Chen had only just transmigrated and had yet to fully master the Heavenly Dao Emperor's power.
Once he could leave, he would naturally find out what was happening outside.
With that thought, Lu Chen closed his eyes and began mastering the Heavenly Dao Emperor's power.
An unknown amount of time passed.
A second, a hundred years, or perhaps a thousand, ten thousand years.
Then one day, a sacred, magnificent golden light erupted from the depths of the universe!
The golden light was overwhelmingly intense!
It reached countless planes!
At that moment, across endless greater planes, supreme powerhouses and ordinary people alike saw a dazzling golden light erupt in the farthest reaches of the heavens!
Boom!
A deafening crash suddenly rang out!
The next instant.
A terrifying storm of golden energy swept wildly through the surrounding universe!
Countless planets and galaxies were caught in the terrifying golden energy storm, then torn apart and pulverized!
Yet as the energy storm gradually subsided, those shattered galaxies miraculously restored themselves.
At the center of the energy storm stood the Heavenly Dao Emperor of the Ming Realm!
His white-gold Emperor Armor radiated a sacred, solemn aura!
"I did it!"
A trace of delighted surprise colored Lu Chen's voice.
After countless ages, he had finally mastered the full power of the Heavenly Dao Emperor Armor.
He felt the surging power within him. Even a Hyper-Multiverse standing before him now could be shattered with a single punch.
And this was only the lower limit of the Emperor Armor's normal form!
"Powerful. Truly powerful!"
A faint smile curved Lu Chen's lips.
He felt that the upper limit of the Emperor Armor's normal form reached the scale of infinitely many Hyper-Multiverses.
This was only its normal form.
That did not even include its intermediate form, its Heaven-and-Earth Manifestation form, or its final Ultimate Heavenly Dao form!
"Hmm? Why is the Ming Realm still a mass of chaos?"
Looking at the endless darkness around him, Lu Chen swept his hand and began creating all things.
"My world needs light."
Hum!
A blazing sun rose, hanging at the very top of the Ming Realm and radiating brilliant light.
It was the purest essence of light!
"My world needs darkness."
Hum!
A radiant moon soared into the sky, shedding clear moonlight. At the same time, endless, pure essence of darkness was born beneath the earth.
In the eyes of the world, light represented justice and holiness, while darkness was considered evil and brutality!
That was not actually the case. Light and darkness seemed opposed, but they were inseparable. Together, they formed a world in perfect balance, the essential forces every civilization and universe needed.
Lu Chen continued creating all things, filling the empty Ming Realm.
The sun, moon, and stars.
Mountains, rivers, grass, and trees.
Streams, lakes, and seas.
Birds, beasts, insects, and fish.
And thus, a majestic universe...
Was born!
Everything was now in place.
Its territory stretched across an unknown number of light-years.
Within it lay countless galaxies and countless universes!
Looking at the vibrant Ming Realm, Lu Chen once again spoke with the voice of heaven.
"My world needs life!"
Boom!
His words became a heavenly decree!
Countless cells appeared from nothing, drifting into the Ming Realm's many galaxies and universes.
Then they began their own paths of evolution.
"Too slow."
Lu Chen shook his head, somewhat dissatisfied.
He pointed a finger, and golden power erupted, pouring over the Ming Realm.
At once, it seemed as though someone had pressed fast-forward on the entire Ming Realm.
Everything grew and evolved at a frantic pace.
Rumble!
Amid the terrifying rumbling, an explosion of life began.
Soon, the first intelligent race was born.
Humanity!
The instant humans came into existence, information about the Lord of the Ming Realm, the Heavenly Dao Emperor, automatically flooded their minds.
At once, the first humans revered him as a god.
Utterly devout, they made Lu Chen, the Heavenly Dao itself, the object of their faith.
Of course, within the Light Universe, they could not possibly worship anything else.
"All right. From here on, you'll develop on your own."
"Whether you live or die, find peace or wage war, perish or evolve to a higher level, it will all depend on your own fortunes."
Lu Chen withdrew his Heavenly Dao power.
The birth of a civilization inevitably involved bloodshed, war, and, above all, unification.
Although Lu Chen was the Lord of the Ming Realm and had created everything within it, he was no babysitter. He did not have to handle every little thing himself.
