Darian took a deep breath, feeling his connection with the laws of the world respond to his will. Soon, everything faded. Inside his soul, there was a mark. He could easily activate it whenever he wanted, so that when creating more Nexus Seeds, he would receive assistance from the laws of the world.
'This…' he thought, surprised, realizing sothing important.
He could already create the Nexus Seed easily, using a large amount of white and black power. Now, he could probably do it without using any of that. The laws of the world would provide what was needed. That was one of the great advantages of becoming a Divinity.
Perhaps if he had created an offensive divine technique, this bonus would be an absurd cheat, allowing him to attack without consuming anything. But… what he ended up creating probably wouldn't directly increase his combat power.
Darian snorted. He wasn't lacking in combat strength anyway, so there wasn't much to complain about.
When he turned to Remira, she was still stunned, looking at him with a very strange expression.
"You helped a lot by pointing in the right direction with your idea. Now… I'll be able to cultivate a thousand tis faster," he said slowly, already imagining the possibilities.
Remira gave an awkward smile. He hadn't directly created the divine technique from her idea, but she could study the Supre Celestial Power he could now generate and develop her own technique in the future.
"Oh! Yeah, this will be perfect," Darian said excitedly, quickly taking out a communication crystal.
He sent a ssage and called Remira to leave in a hurry.
They returned to the Tide-Shadow Kingdom, where they were received by all the queens, who had gathered full of questions. Darian didn't hide anything—he openly said that he was the one who created a divine technique and then completed it almost imdiately after.
After hearing that… the three of them just snorted and nodded. They had already built immunity to Darian—nothing he did anymore could be considered surprising or impossible.
Now, Darian had a ticket to immortality. He just needed to reach the peak of cultivation.
About two hours later, a flying ship from the Golden Crow Sect arrived. Inside was Limdiss.
Darian didn't waste ti and asked for an isolated room for Veyra. He told Remira to wait for a bit, then the two of them went inside and shut the door.
***
One week later, the room's door opened. A strong dicinal scent spread throughout the royal castle.
Remira rushed to Darian. When she found him, she saw a faint smile of accomplishnt on his face.
"We did it. We'll call it the *Harmonious Earth Pill*," he said calmly, pointing at Limdiss, who was lying on the floor of the room, deeply asleep, completely exhausted.
"Basically, we developed a pill using the contaminated celestial power inside the Indigo Jades. This pill drastically enhances all the power contained within, removing useless impurities. That will make the Supre Celestial Power we create much better."
Remira nodded, taking a deep breath.
Darian continued, "Now the entire flow is complete. The two of us will hunt down all the Evil Path cultivators in the universe. Since I don't work for free, we'll clean them out—and in exchange, all the resources they've accumulated will be purified and sold. That brat Emina will handle that; she'll be able to sell everything quickly. With the Indigo Jades, Limdiss will focus on producing the pills."
"At the end of the chain, I'll use the Elentals from the Abyss Lake and the Golden Celestial Lake. I'll gain a huge amount of that power to cultivate… and you'll get your share too, being able to study it as much as you want."
After saying that, Darian let out a breath. The opportunity he had been searching for ended up being sothing he built himself, using everything he had available.
Recruiting Emina and Limdiss had been the right decision, just like helping the Bakunawa Abyssal Triarchy obtain the Abyss Lake. Even his participation in the Celestial Tournant, where he reunited with Remira, had served as a stepping stone for this mont.
Now, he should be able to reach the peak of cultivation very, very quickly.

Ti passed without major issues.
For Darian, it was simple to search across the universe for large concentrations of dark Karma. Just like he had been the nesis of the Risen, he was the sa for Evil Path cultivators.
The duo would arrive wherever they were and massacre them without any rcy. There was no chance for escape.
After that, everything was collected and handed over to the official rchant.
They moved from planet to planet, clearing half a dozen or more every single day.
A universe was vast, but Evil Path cultivators weren't that nurous in the Celestial plane. They needed to exist in places rich in resources, and they also had to form small organizations to survive and thrive.
In the Celestial plane, less than 0.01% of planets were rich in resources and easy to infiltrate secretly. In the end, there were around 5,000 planets in the universe where they operated.
Those who lived in the mortal plane depended on the powerful figures of the Celestial plane to survive. Destroying those powerhouses would be like ripping out both the roots and the leaves of a tree at once—it simply wouldn't survive, and soon, those in the mortal plane would disappear as well.
Every two months, Darian would stop everything to focus on cultivation.
Two years later, he reached the Celestial Sovereign Realm, the sixth cultivation realm.
After another two years…
The Celestial Master Realm—the final realm of celestial cultivation—was finally reached.
They spent two more years hunting, gathering resources, and cultivating like mad. When the mark of six full years in that relentless cycle was reached…
The ninth level of the Celestial Master Realm was finally achieved!
Darian was now 25 years old. Initially, his family said he had one hundred years before complete chaos erupted on the other side. He was 16 at the ti, and in less than ten years, he managed to reach the peak of Celestial cultivation.
"I can't even say I'm jealous. It took 700 years, and my father said that was the fastest in the history of the universe. You raised the bar to a completely impossible level," Remira murmured.
The two of them were in the Golden Crow Sect, walking casually through the city after Darian ca out of seclusion. Before long, they arrived at a massive courtyard.
There, they saw an Azure Dragon roaring, trying to keep control over a sowhat playful army. Below her… There were over 10,000 tiny creatures.
They looked like small fire Pixies, each only a few centiters tall. Their forms were semi-physical, and all of them had bright, pure eyes. They didn't have wings, but had chosen humanoid shapes… probably influenced by their creator: Darian.
Yes, they were all Celestial Elental Spirits. And in the Bakunawa Abyssal Triarchy, there was a similar number of them.
What used to be sothing unbelievably rare and extraordinary in the universe had now, thanks to Darian, suddenly beco over 20,000 of them. They all saw Darian as a father, and besides gaining life, each one of them also had a Nexus Seed inside.
Most of the ones here were male Celestial Elental Spirits, since they were born from a Yang elent. In the Bakunawa Abyssal Triarchy, it naturally happened the opposite way.
They were happily accepted into the sect and the Three Kingdoms, but Darian had given one condition to the four rulers: these little ones had to be treated properly, at first like children. They needed education, ti to play, and the chance to calmly learn about the world.
Only after reaching proper ntal maturity—sothing he had no exact idea when would happen, but he set a minimum of twenty years—would they begin cultivating and be treated as adults.
Darian made the four swear on their lives. That way, he could feel at ease.
Right now, Minril was acting like a kindergarten teacher, dealing with all of them.
When Darian approached, all of them turned toward him in perfect sync, then rushed forward, shouting excitedly.
Darian sighed and spoke a bit with each of them. After all… this was probably the last ti they would ever talk.
He didn't say that out loud, of course. But Minril, who sensed Darian's cultivation, understood it instantly.
In fact, everyone in the universe already knew—Darian was like a dragon swimming in a small lake. In a very short ti, he would leave and never return, just like every unmatched Divine figure before him.
After a while, Darian stepped away from them with a faint smile.
Then he went to the Bakunawa Abyssal Triarchy to visit the army of little female Celestial Elental Spirits, repeating the sa process.
In the future, maybe so of them would reach immortality and find their way back to him. But he didn't have high hopes.
With everything settled after a few days, Darian didn't waste any ti.
It was ti to go to the most dangerous and secret place in the universe—the place where all Divinities went to break into immortality.
He had to reunite with his brothers… and most of all, with that woman who, not even after dying and being reborn, had ever left his thoughts.
