Solanky snapped his fingers. Drawing upon the knowledge inherited from Supremo and the unique power of the Forbidden Space, together with the superclusters surrounding it, he successfully created a miniature Infinite Source World.
Although it was far from perfect compared to a genuine Infinite Source World, its foundation was still vastly superior and more profound than any Source World a Source God or even a Perfect Source God could construct.
He then sent the experts whose cultivation laws had been abolished into the newly created world so they could begin cultivating from the very beginning.
Unlike ordinary Source Worlds, this miniature Infinite Source World possessed no subordinate Source Worlds that continuously absorbed and recycled its Source Energy.
The remaining experts were returned to the God Realm to avoid arousing suspicion.
Inside the Forbidden Space, only Solanky, Elena, and The Voice remained, quietly observing the miniature world floating before them.
After a long silence, Elena asked,
"How did you know about the calamity that befell the Bayoka Clan?"
The Voice answered before Solanky could respond.
"You should know that whenever a Perfect Source God reincarnates onto a planet, the fate, karma, and causality accumulated by every generation of that planet are revealed before them."
"They may choose to intervene."
"However, doing so would expose the reincarnation vessel to hostile factions."
"In most cases, the wisest choice is to remain an observer and act only when the opportunity presents itself in the future."
Elena immediately understood.
That was why The Voice had remained silent during the invasion led by the devil knight.
Any interference would have created an enormous karmic disturbance, making it extremely easy for the owner of the Infinite Source World to trace the disturbance back to Solanky and erase him while he was still at his weakest.
Solanky calmly added,
"And that is precisely why I still haven't resurrected my mother."
"If I revive her while Elisa is still alive, her location on Earth will inevitably be exposed."
"The karma that has remained buried since her death would also resurface."
"At that point, facing the owner of this Infinite Source World in the future would become far more difficult."
With a wave of his hand, the miniature Infinite Source World drifted toward the core of the supercluster, where Supremo remained seated in absolute stillness.
Turning toward The Voice, Solanky said,
"Guard this Forbidden Space for the next month."
"I intend to comprehend the mysteries of Supremo until I can fully control it."
"I also need to continue monitoring the devil body I currently possess."
As he spoke, he accelerated the flow of time within the Forbidden Space.
One hundred days inside the Forbidden Space would now equal a single hour in the God Realm.
The next instant, Solanky disappeared.
Elena also prepared to leave.
Bidding farewell to The Voice, she flew toward the exit of the Forbidden Space.
As she departed, she sighed.
"I hope he finds a way to control that dormant body."
"Otherwise, when the owner descends upon the God Realm with his army of devils, we'll all be in serious trouble."
"We won't even have the chance to escape to another Infinite Source World."
"We'll simply become his pawns."
As Elena disappeared into the distance, The Voice softly replied,
"Knowing the Solanky of his previous life, he would never allow anyone to dictate his fate or the fate of countless innocent lives."
"Even if he must defy the order established by multiple Infinite Source Gods..."
"He will find a way."
"Trust him."
...
Deep within the core region of the Devil Realm, the possessed devil followed Ayeko into an ancient temple.
The instant they entered, Solanky sensed the aura of a Perfect Source Devil rapidly approaching.
Ayeko respectfully cupped his fists.
"Congratulations, Brother, on advancing to the Perfect Source Devil Realm."
The newcomer smiled.
"It is all thanks to the guidance of our great-grand Devil Ancestor that I was able to reach the pinnacle of cultivation within this Infinite Source World."
His gaze shifted toward the young devils standing behind Ayeko.
"Oh?"
"So these are the future pillars of our Sinister Devil Realm."
He carefully examined them before nodding with satisfaction.
"Good."
"Very good."
"There are five thousand candidates this time."
"Far better than the mere thousand who arrived during the previous selection."
"My name is Elishen."
"Go and meet the Ancestor first."
"We shall speak again afterward."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elishen's body gradually dispersed into drifting ashes before completely vanishing.
Ayeko then turned toward the five thousand young devils.
"When you stand before the Ancestor, show him the utmost respect."
"A single breath..."
"Or even a single thought from him..."
"Would be enough to erase your existence forever."
He slowly pushed open the ancient temple doors before stepping aside.
The young devils entered one after another.
The moment they crossed the threshold, all light disappeared.
Only endless darkness surrounded them.
Then, a mysterious voice echoed throughout the void.
As the voice spread through the darkness, countless glowing Source Worlds appeared around them.
Each had been compressed into a radiant sphere suspended within the endless void.
Finally...
An elderly humanoid figure appeared.
His body alone stretched across one hundred light-years.
The moment Solanky saw him, his eyes narrowed.
The old man looked identical to the owner of the Infinite Source World whom Solanky had battled in his previous life.
The difference was unmistakable.
Back then, the opponent had only been approaching the Infinite Source Realm.
Now...
The being standing before him was a genuine Infinite Source Devil.
The old man smiled warmly at the gathered devils.
"Today..."
"I shall explain how an Infinite Source World truly functions."
"My goal is to help all of you reach the pinnacle of cultivation as quickly as possible."
He slowly swept his gaze across everyone present.
"Even after reaching my current level..."
"I still do not dare claim that I am truly powerful."
"Beyond this world, there will always be someone stronger..."
"Someone faster..."
"Someone more skilled..."
"And someone even more ruthless than yourself."
The younger generation of devils were visibly shocked.
Solanky also feigned surprise, blending perfectly into the crowd to avoid exposing himself.
The Devil Ancestor continued.
"Within every Infinite Source World exists a core."
"It is within that core that the architect records every law, every narrative, every timeline, every reality, every thread of causality, and every strand of karma belonging to the worlds under their authority."
"In this Infinite Source World..."
"I alone am the owner."
"I alone am its ruler."
"My will is the supreme law that every living being must obey."
"Although an Infinite Source World can exist without boundaries, its architect may choose whether or not to establish them."
"I deliberately created boundaries to separate this world from the unknown realm that lies beyond my jurisdiction."
He paused before continuing.
"My will continuously influences the construction of newly formed Source Worlds."
"Especially after I became the new architect of this Infinite Source World."
"As a result, every being born within those Source Worlds has the potential to become my pawn."
"I can alter the laws governing newly created worlds with relative ease."
"Changing the laws of ancient, already established worlds is considerably more difficult."
"Even so, I can still influence them temporarily, granting myself an overwhelming advantage against every cultivator living within this Infinite Source World."
"Furthermore, before anyone can establish a Source World here, they must first absorb and refine the energy of this Infinite Source World."
"Only then may they construct their own Source World, using at least one percent of this world's energy as its foundation before supplementing it with their own."
The Devil Ancestor's expression suddenly grew solemn.
"However..."
"Many years ago, I discovered that an intruder had entered this world while I was away."
"At the time, I had ventured beyond the Unknown Source Realm in search of abandoned Infinite Source Worlds whose owners had left them unguarded."
"After traveling for three hundred thousand Samsara Periods..."
"I encountered only two such Infinite Source Worlds."
A young devil girl respectfully raised her hand.
The Devil Ancestor smiled.
"You may ask."
She bowed.
"Ancestor, what exactly is a Samsara Period?"
The old man answered patiently.
"A Samsara Period is the standard measurement of time beyond an Infinite Source World."
"One Samsara Period is equivalent to approximately one point four quadrillion years within an Infinite Source World."
The young girl nodded before asking another question.
"If that's the case..."
"Why couldn't you simply teleport there?"
The Devil Ancestor looked at her with genuine appreciation.
"An excellent question."
"It has not been long since I reached the Infinite Source Realm."
"Beyond the Infinite Source Worlds..."
"One cannot act recklessly."
"There is no concept of time."
"No location."
"No karma."
"No laws."
"There is..."
"Nothing."
"And hidden within that absolute nothingness are countless dangers capable of destroying even the body of an Infinite Source God or an Infinite Source Devil."
