Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Encased within a giant bubble, the entire world possessed a unique cylindrical structure, divided into upper, middle, and lower layers.

The upper layer was Heaven, brilliantly radiant and immaculately holy, the abode of the Celestial Gods.

The middle layer was the Human World, vast and boundless, bustling with life, and home to countless mortals.

The lower layer, then, was Hell, gloomy and deep, filled with an endless aura of death—the final destination for the departed.

Of the three layers, the Human World was the most expansive, supporting innumerable living beings.

Heaven and Hell, however, were locked in a perpetual state of hostility due to conflicting ideologies. Both sides vied for possession of the vast number of souls from the Human World, waging a war that had spanned countless years without cease.

However, neither side possessed the absolute power to crush the other.

Thus, the entire world existed in this strange state of equilibrium.

「On this day.」

The World Will suddenly began to tremble violently.

Sensing this anomaly, Asmodeus, the Master of Hell, opened his blood-red eyes from within the abyss.

Ola, the Master of Heaven, also awoke from within the Holy Light.

The two supreme beings simultaneously sensed this disturbance.

The World Will seemed to be afraid.

It was as if some great terror was approaching.

At the same time, a peculiar message materialized in both their minds.

The message was simple.

The World Will commanded them to go forth and resolve this crisis.

Upon receiving this sudden directive, their expressions instantly turned solemn.

Since the dawn of their existence, the World Will had fluctuated before, but never had it issued such a direct, specific, and clear command.

But regardless, they could not refuse the World Will’s directive.

The most crucial component of their current power was the recognition granted to them by the world itself.

Should they lose the support of this power, they would both fall from their supreme positions.

This was an outcome they could not accept.

Faced with the World Will’s frantic urging, there was no time for further consideration.

The next moment, their figures vanished from Hell and Heaven, reappearing outside the world they had named Beyond the Heavens.

The two mortal enemies, who would normally have wasted no time on trading barbs, were unusually calm upon meeting this time.

After appearing, they peered through the membrane of the bubble enclosing their world, looking out into the void.

They sought to find what could possibly frighten the World Will to such a degree.

They did not have to wait long.

「A few seconds later.」

A colossal, pale serpent, so immense that it looked as if it could coil around the entire world, appeared before their very eyes.

However, before they could even react, the eyes of Asmodeus, the Master of Hell, and Ola, the Master of Heaven—two beings at the Apostle Level Peak—instantly burst, and they let out blood-curdling screams.

Immediately after, the Holy Light surrounding Ola rapidly dimmed, and Asmodeus’s body began to decay.

"Ah! What is this monster? No—"

The two were utterly horrified.

A few seconds later, their bodies exploded, and they perished on the spot.

This pale, colossal serpent was none other than Hu Qi.

With his current power at the True God Level, no one below the rank of a True God was even qualified to look directly at him when he manifested his true form without reservation.

He did this because to absorb a world into his Pocket World, he first had to obtain that world’s authority.

The previous Zero Island was merely an ecosystem, not a complete world.

As for the Nightmare World, Hu Qi had obtained its authority by refining the Damaged Black Banner, as the Black Banner was the source of that world’s Extraordinary Power.

On the Desolate Star, he had the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman.

The World Will of the Cangzhou Realm had proactively acknowledged him as its master and surrendered its authority, so he encountered no resistance during the devouring process.

But this time was different.

He needed to obtain its authority before he could devour the world.

At that moment, with the demise of the Master of Hell and the Master of Heaven, two auras—one black and one white—emerged from their bodies.

It was a portion of this world’s authority.

Upon appearing, they attempted to flee and merge back into the world behind them.

However, Hu Qi would not give them the chance.

His serpentine maw gaped open.

A terrifying suction immediately pulled this portion of authority into his mouth.

At the same time, two beams of light shot from his eyes, enveloping the cylindrical world.

The World Will, which had been fluctuating violently in an attempt to resist, immediately fell calm.

Not only that, but it also began to convey a sense of affinity toward Hu Qi.

Twisted Light twists all.

Empowered by his strength as a True God, its might was even more terrifying.

He had directly twisted this World Will’s cognition, forcing it to recognize him as its master.

The next moment, he opened his serpentine maw and swallowed the world before him in a single gulp.

「Inside the Pocket World Space.」

Its area had increased once more, and the world’s evolutionary progress had risen to 67%.
