Baby with Daoist Monarch System

He felt a grander and more ancient consciousness slowly approaching him, cold, vast, like the cosmos itself, and accompanied by a chilling characteristic of "nothingness."

It was the Master of Nothingness!

"Calibration" was about to begin, signifying that he would connect more deeply with the Master of Nothingness, receive higher commands, and possibly become the "anchoring point" for the Master’s descent upon this cosmos!

Around his body, the distorted space grew increasingly unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.

A massive vortex of laws condensed above his head, exuding an aura of total annihilation.

He felt no fear, no anticipation, no emotion. He simply "stood" there quietly, awaiting the final "calibration."

He, the container, was ready.

Meanwhile, the Southern Celestial Star Cosmos remained completely unaware.

...

In the depths of the vast cosmos, the gray shadow composed of countless twisted limbs and faces "gazed" in the direction of the Fifth Space.

It could sense that the "container" had reached the predetermined threshold and was about to complete the First Stage of calibration.

This was a crucial step in the plan. The potential of this "container" exceeded expectations, and its efficiency in integrating the laws was satisfactory.

Once calibration is complete, the container will gain even greater power and be able to leave the Fifth Space, heading to the predetermined "anchoring point" to commence the cleanup mission.

It could also sense that the young man who inherited the Guardian’s will was hunting down its "awakened ones" in the cosmos, moving rapidly towards the Restricted Area.

The girl heading to the Restricted Area had also obtained a more complete Guardian heritage and was attempting to master ways to counter it.

"Weak resistance..." a hoarse voice whispered in the dark.

"Futile struggle..."

"The fire... has long since extinguished..."

It couldn’t comprehend concepts like "guardianship," "hope," "love." To it, all "existence" was a form of entropy increase, a fleeting phenomenon destined to descend into chaos and nothingness.

Its existence was to accelerate this process, to let the cosmos return to the initial state of "nothingness."

It felt no "hatred" towards the Guardians; they were merely obstacles to the increase in entropy, needing to be eliminated.

Just like a pesky star in the cosmos, eventually swallowed by darkness.

Its gray domain was continuously expanding, devouring the surrounding starlight and laws.

Some distant galaxies, whose once brilliant light was gradually dimming, seemed to have their life force siphoned by an invisible force.

"Time... is running out..."

"The anchoring point... is about to stabilize..."

"Cleanup... initiating..."

Its "sight" penetrated countless spaces, locking onto several key nodes in the Southern Celestial Star Cosmos—the Restricted Area, Celestial Fall Battlefield, and several regions hiding ancient powers.

These places were once barriers set by the Guardians, but now needed to be erased one by one.

And that perfect "container" would be the best tool for executing this task.

Around the gray shadow, countless tiny gray light spots jumped, as if in celebration, yet also seemingly in wailing.

They were whispers of nothingness, hymns of darkness.

The fate of the cosmos grew increasingly precarious at this moment.

...

Yu Kong rapidly traversed the stars, getting closer to the Restricted Area.

He could sense that the space fluctuations ahead were becoming unusually complex, with remnants of old, silent energy and newly born, twisted dark aura.

He knew he had entered the outer regions of the Restricted Area.

The night sky here was no longer purely dark but sprinkled with many strange lights and distorted scenes—an external reflection of the chaos within the laws of the Restricted Area.

He became more vigilant, slowed down, and began to use methods recorded in the Guardian’s Manual to detect possible dangers and marks left by the Guardians.

He sensed faint Guardian aura, coming from deep within the Restricted Area, carrying a trace of hope, albeit distant.

Simultaneously, he felt several powerful dark auras!

These auras were more restrained and dangerous than the "awakened ones" he had encountered before, like poisonous snakes hidden in the dark.

His heart tightened, knowing that the enemies he was about to face were unprecedentedly strong.

Just then, he suddenly felt a familiar yet strange aura!

This aura was powerful, cold, filled with distortion and destructive force, but at its base, he could faintly capture a fluctuation belonging to Senior Brother Xu Ran!

This aura was speeding from the depths of the cosmos toward the direction of the Restricted Area!

"Senior Brother Xu Ran!" Yu Kong’s face changed dramatically.

This aura wasn’t Senior Brother Xu Ran himself, but the power completely assimilated by the force of nothingness! He had become a "container" and was being dispatched to execute a certain mission!

And his direction was towards the Restricted Area!

Yu Kong instantly understood!

The Master of Nothingness dispatching the "container" to the Restricted Area was to destroy the places where the Guardians left their heritage! It’s a crucial step in its plan to remove obstacles!

And Xu Qinghan was deep within the Restricted Area!

A strong sense of crisis gripped Yu Kong’s heart.

With Senior Brother Xu Ran completely assimilated, his power was terrifying. His journey to the Restricted Area was undoubtedly the greatest threat to Xu Qinghan!

He couldn’t afford to delay any longer!

Yu Kong stopped worrying about concealing his whereabouts, exploded with power of Guardian within him, transforming into a dazzling golden light, and rushed towards the Restricted Area at the fastest speed!

He must reach Xu Qinghan before Senior Brother Xu Ran, no, before that "container" arrives in the depths of the Restricted Area!

...

Deep within the Restricted Area, Xu Qinghan was seated on an ancient altar, attempting to follow the methods recorded in the Ancient Inheritance Record to invoke the Cosmic Origin power, refining her power of Guardian.

The space surrounding the altar was remarkably stable, as if the Guardians had exerted all their might to maintain a piece of pure land.

At the center of the altar was a groove that perfectly matched the shape of the Guardian’s Manual. As she placed the manual inside, the altar was instantly activated, emitting a gentle light.

She sat cross-legged on the altar, closed her eyes, and immersed her consciousness within.

She could feel a vast and pure power from the depths of the cosmos being guided through the altar, merging with her power of Guardian.

This power was the Cosmic Origin mentioned in the Ancient Inheritance Record!

It’s the most foundational and primitive force constituting the cosmos, containing vitality, order, and existence itself!

She guided this origin power, washing over her power of Guardian bit by bit, making it purer and stronger.

Simultaneously, she began attempting to understand the jade scroll detailing the secret skill of Fire Ignition.

The secret skill was esoteric and challenging, with each step fraught with significant risk.

It required the practitioner to merge their power of Guardian with origin power to form a special "fire," then use specific runes and techniques to inject this "fire" into targets eroded by nothingness, trying to rekindle the spark of their "self."

The process was like lighting a match in an ocean of nothingness, where carelessness could extinguish the match, and even the lighter themselves could be swallowed by darkness.

Xu Qinghan understood that to successfully perform this secret skill, she needed not only powerful strength but also a profound understanding of Senior Brother Xu Ran and that unwavering belief!

Her mind flashed with the image of Senior Brother Xu Ran—the one who always smiled gently, provided her with countless guidance in cultivation, and stood before her in danger.

"Senior Brother... I will definitely save you!" she silently swore in her heart.

Just then, the altar’s light suddenly flickered intensely!

A powerful, cold, and destructive aura surged like tides from the outskirts of the Restricted Area!

This aura was so strong, so pure, as if darkness itself had descended!

Xu Qinghan’s eyes snapped open, her face instantly turning pale.
