The next morning, I awoke before Luna and Shu Yan. Without a word, I left my Demonic Realm, the cold wind whispering against my back as I stepped into the void of Outer Space.
My goal was clear: find the path to the Deity Realm—a place far beyond mortal comprehension.
Days passed. One, five… twenty. Time blurred as I traveled through uncharted starfields and ancient ruins, but I found nothing. No answers. No path.
Until one day, I came across a man.
He was old, with a long silver beard and closed eyes, sitting calmly atop a boulder in the middle of a forgotten field of shattered stars.
I landed beside him. "Hey, old man. What are you doing here?"
He opened one eye lazily and smiled.
"Oh, nothing. Just waiting for the gate to the next world."
My brow rose. "The next world?"
He nodded. "I reached peak Celestial Supreme two thousand years ago. My cultivation stagnated, and I started to believe… maybe this universe is just a stepping stone. A friend once told me—there is a world beyond even this."
"You mean the Deity Realm?" I asked.
The old man's eyes widened. "You… you know of it?"
"Yes. That's exactly what I'm searching for. Why are you here?"
He tapped the stone below him. "My friend told me the path lies here. That one day, the gate would awaken."
Curious, I released a surge of spiritual energy and scanned the area. I felt it—a faint seal buried deep beneath the layers of space. Ancient, powerful… and cracked with age.
"This place is sealed," I muttered. Then louder: "Old man, help me. If you do, I'll take you with me to the Deity Realm."
His eyes lit up with hope, and without hesitation, he stood. "Deal."
We poured our power into the ground, launching a synchronized strike.
Boom!
The seal resisted, but I shouted, "Harder!"
Again and again we attacked, until—
Crack!
A rift tore through the void, and a radiant portal appeared, pulsing with divine energy.
"This is it," I breathed. "The gate to the Deity Realm."
Without hesitation, we stepped through.
The moment we arrived, a rush of pure spiritual energy engulfed us. The skies shimmered with auroras. Celestial mountains floated in the distance, surrounded by realms vaster than anything I'd ever seen.
"We made it…" I whispered. "This is the Deity Realm."

Mission Complete.
Reward Granted: Unlock 'Small World Creation' – A realm born within the host's body.

I felt it instantly—a new world forming inside me, a realm entirely mine to command.
The old man stood beside me in awe. "It's even more majestic than I imagined."
I turned to him. "Stay here and begin your cultivation. I'll return in an hour."
Using my One-Time Realm Travel Voucher, I ripped through space and returned to the Outer Space.

[Time Left: 59:58]
I quickly teleported into my Demonic Realm.
---
[Time Left: 59:52]
"Shu Yan! Luna! I'm back!" I called.
They ran outside in joy and leapt into my arms.

[Time Left: 58:48]
"I have one shot at this," I said. "I'm taking the entire Demonic Realm with me."
They nodded and returned inside.
I exited the realm, focused my power, and began merging it with the world inside my body.
The pain was immense—ripping, burning, reshaping my very essence.
Twenty minutes passed.
---
[Time Left: 38:01]
It was done. The Demonic Realm now existed within me.
I then teleported to the Dragon Realm.
---
"Old dragon Xuan!" I shouted. "Get out here, you bastard!"
He arrived swiftly. "Demonic King? What's the meaning of this?"
"I'll ask once: do you want to go to a world greater than this one—the Deity Realm?"
Xuan blinked. "What are you talking about?"
"Answer. Yes or no?"
"Yes."
I pulled him into my inner realm.

[Time Left: 35:58]
I waited.
[Time Left: 30:58]
[Time Left: 20:58]
[Time Left: 04:58]
[Time Left: 01:00]
[Time Left: 00:03]
[Time Left: 00:02]
[Time Left: 00:01]
[Time Left: 00:00]
The voucher's time ran out—and I returned to the Deity Realm, with my people and realm inside me.

The heavens had shifted.
The Ruthless Demonic King had arrived—and he brought a kingdom with him.
