Void Evolution System

Every second the Primal Sovereign was held back by the seven Demigods in charge of doing so was another second Tian Yang received to complete his task.

In reality, he had the remaining three Demigods by his side for protection, but they weren't lasting as well as he expected.

The Primal Sovereign's instinct was difficult to overcome. The number of terrifying traps that were left in the space around the spatial fissure from which his energy originated was insane. With every step they took forward, they were forced to take another five back.

But eventually, Tian Yang was able to get close to the fissure. The others were still attempting to extricate themselves, but none of that mattered.

His mana didn't rage wantonly. It flowed through his body like a calm river. Tian Yang gracefully waded through space and guided his mana, allowing it to come in contact with the surrounding Spatial Essence.

From here, Tian Yang had to first take control of this fissure and then promote its closure. It wouldn't be an easy task to do, and the Primal Sovereign would surely feel it when he began.

But he didn't have another option. He needed to close the fissure as fast as possible.

At that moment…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

12 God Killing Weapons were fired in tandem. Aside from the Blood Emperor and the two by his side, the others in the vicinity fled as fast as possible, arriving closer to Tian Yang and far away from the blast area.

It had to be said, the God Ensnaring Formation didn't contain a small amount of space. It was more than big enough to hold the Primal Sovereign in his beast form with space remaining.

There was more than enough space to flee from the eruption.

For the Primal Sovereign, this was especially true. He flared his mana, teleporting far away from his current position, but halfway through his movement, a bloody hand reached into the void and grabbed him.

"Where do you think you're going?" The Blood Emperor snarled. Lit by the bloodlust of the incoming God Killing Weapons, he looked utterly demonic.

Knowing what the inevitable outcome of this battle would be, the Blood Emperor burnt everything. His life was being used as fuel for his power.

His grip was indomitable, the Blood Laws in the surroundings only heightening the power of the coming attack.

And even if the Primal Sovereign wanted to struggle, two more heavy law fluctuations bore down on his body as the others also made their move.

Under their combined effort, the Primal Sovereign truly was incapacitated.

His eyes turned red. To lose at this juncture was impossible. His goal was right in front of him, yet it was out of reach.

Right, his goal was always Damien. Killing these Demigods came second. But the Primal Sovereign couldn't destroy the God Ensnaring Formation. He needed Damien to come to him.

To do so…

A savage grin spread on his face. As long as he could lure Damien into the God Ensnaring Formation and devour him, there would be nothing else standing in his way.

But first…

His body rapidly expanded, his beast form revealing itself once more. He realized that he couldn't block or dodge this attack, so it was best to spread its damage over a larger surface area.

All of this happened in an instant. The God Killing Weapons arrived together in the next, clashing against various parts of the Primal Sovereign's massive body!

Massive cavities were formed in his flesh, his previous wounds becoming far more grievous. If he returned to human form in his current condition, it would do more harm than good. And truthfully, even his overall condition wasn't positive at all.

He was already on the road to death. Facing the combined assault of so many Demigods who were prepared to sacrifice themselves for their cause, he couldn't match up!

He had to put everything into his final gamble. His gaze pierced the God Ensnaring Formation, attempting to understand the scenes taking place beyond.

***

At some point, Damien lost his focus on the ongoing battle. It wasn't that he didn't understand its significance, it was more like he was physically forced to turn his attention away.

While inside the God Ensnaring Formation, the Demigods went back and forth with the Primal Sovereign and fiercely attacked, Damien couldn't see any of it. His vision was blocked by massive flashes of laws and incomprehensible essences. No matter how he peered into these flashes, he couldn't comprehend anything.

Such was the power of Divinity. When it was concentrated to this level and entrapped within a sealed space, it wasn't something Damien could deduce anymore. It wasn't the same as when he gave advice to the Demigods previously.

But Damien considered himself lucky for having his attention skewed. If it wasn't, he would've never found…

In front of his body stood a World Core slightly smaller than a moon. In its current state, it was already withering.

A World Core needed the world around it just as much as the world needed a World Core. The two were in a symbiotic relationship that allowed all things to function smoothly.

This world, however, was different. Due to the Fifth Primal Sovereign, while the world was still able to rely on the World Core, the World Core was never truly able to form a connection with the world.

It was kept alive for thousands of years due to the Primal Sovereign's presence, but now that both he and the unnamed world were destroyed, this World Core was dying.

Damien wouldn't let it do so.

This was an uncorrupted World Core, completely intact. Even Wrath hadn't been able to locate and corrupt it before. Finding a stray World Core without a world formed around it was incredibly rare.

Damien greedily eyed it. He had already communicated with it. To survive, it naturally chose to follow him.

And after he connected his Celestial Mana Thread with it and formed the contract, he immediately thrust his hand onto its surface, enveloping it in an immense suction force!

He would never get an opportunity like this again. Without a special circumstance, he'd need to kill billions through world destruction before acquiring such a pristine World Core.

But now, that wasn't a problem.

He could finally give a World Core to the Sanctuary!

The Sanctuary was independent to the extreme, but it wasn't a true world yet. This was solely due to its lack of a World Core.

While World Cores fundamentally functioned as pillars of the universe, upholding its foundational laws, this wasn't a function exclusive to universal laws.

World Cores had the heaven-defying ability to adapt to and be influenced by any existing laws, conforming to them and carrying out its purpose without fail.

This meant that adding a World Core to the Sanctuary would make the laws far more defined, promoting the Sanctuary's growth.

But most of all, adding a World Core to the current Sanctuary and turning it into a true world…gave it the potential for extreme expansion.

If the Sanctuary became a single world, the surrounding void would expand to accommodate its atmosphere. Damien's territory within the Void would expand, making it possible for him to contain multiple worlds in the Sanctuary!

This was only the first step, the beginning of his grand ambitions. Perhaps, at some point in the future, the Sanctuary wouldn't just be a single world or a collection of them…

It would be a universe in its own right.
