"So this… is the source of this world?"
Goku murmured softly, reaching out to grasp it. At once, the emerald orb dissolved into countless runes of law, which coursed along his arm and merged into his body.
For a moment, he felt himself drifting in chaos. Symbols of rules danced in the void—evolving, shifting—revealing the birth and destruction of worlds.
Terrifying streams of knowledge flooded into his mind, engraving themselves deep within. He was inheriting—the inheritance of the world's source, the very power of rules granted to a world's Sovereign.
No one knew how much time had passed. Suddenly, Goku's vast soul force erupted from between his brows and surged into the Void. Above him, it formed a Celestial Domain, where countless laws intertwined amidst swirling chaos.
Then, as if opening heaven and earth itself, order emerged. The laws intertwined, merging and weaving the fabric of space like threads in a tapestry. The domain glowed brilliantly, light gradually piercing the chaos, faintly revealing the outline of an immortal realm within.
As the rules grew more complete, the hazy world inside became clearer. The chaotic energy was like a divine brush, sketching a realm at breathtaking speed. Space expanded, broadened, and ultimately—an entire world was formed.
A single thought—and Goku's figure appeared within that chaos. With one finger, mountains rose. With one breath, rivers surged. With one will, all life revived.
At that moment, Goku's heart was utterly calm. He was like a god of creation, shaping a world with his will.
Meanwhile, within his storage ring, the women who followed him watched in stunned silence. Their faces were flushed with excitement, eyes wide with disbelief.
"Could it be… Goku is really… creating a world?"
Bulma's eyes were as round as saucers, her voice trembling with excitement.
"I… think so?" Saeko and the others exchanged dazed glances. World creation—such a thing was supposed to belong only to the legendary gods of creation!
"The ruler of this world has fallen. Goku must have inherited control of it. For a world sovereign, creating a world should not be difficult…" Cai Lin, though shocked, remained calmer than the others. After all, in her world, even a Saint could open a small space. For a true world ruler, creating an entire world was only natural.
"Incredible… Goku really defeated the Ruler of this world… Doesn't that make him the master of this continent now?" Zi Yan's eyes sparkled with unrestrained worship. "And he's creating a whole world… this is unbelievable!"
Opening a pocket of space was one thing. Creating a world was another entirely.
Mountains appeared, rivers surged.
This was his world. His rules. His will alone decided creation and destruction. Here, Goku was God.

A month later, Goku gazed at the misty, dreamlike world he had created and smiled in satisfaction. With a thought, he summoned the World Ring, releasing his companions into his new realm.
"Goku, you're amazing! You actually created a world… unbelievable!"
"Creating a world… doesn't that make you a god of creation now?"
The moment they appeared, the women surrounded him, chattering with excitement. A few of the younger girls even clung to him, their eyes filled with worship.
Goku chuckled softly. The Source had given him a tremendous harvest. Not only did he master all laws of this world, but his strength had skyrocketed. Only by wielding them himself could he grasp the true terror of the rules of existence.
Though the former ruler was weak compared to him, his mastery over reincarnation had been dreadful. Were it not for Goku's immortality, he might have perished despite his strength.
After chatting with the women for a while, Goku transferred everything from his World Ring into his newly created world. Then, his first act as ruler was simple: with a single thought, he erased every trace of the Soul Hall from existence.
With that done, he returned to the Jia Nan Academy, birthed a new Fallen Heart Flame within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to resolve its problems, and then, with his companions, truly left the Inner Academy behind.

Morning light spilled across the horizon as Goku and Xun'er appeared in the Ancient Sacred City.
This city was the gateway to the Ancient Realm. At its center lay a vast, bottomless lake, so deep it inspired dread in all who gazed upon it.
Xun'er withdrew a jade token and infused it with her energy. A beam of light shot into the lake's depths.
The lake rippled. An overwhelming spatial fluctuation surged upward.
Chi!
A dazzling pillar of light erupted from the lake, linking with the city's protective barrier.
Boom!
The space above the lake cracked apart, thunder roaring as a black gateway to the unknown revealed itself.
"The Ancient Realm's Gate… it's open? Who are they?" gasps rang out.
From within, powerful auras spilled forth. At the front stood Gu Yuan and several elders. Upon seeing Goku, Gu Yuan's shock turned quickly into reverence.
"Lord Goku! To think you would grace our Ancient Realm… it is truly our honor!"
The man who had slain Emperors, defeated the world's ruler, and vanished without a trace now stood before them. Rumors abounded about his disappearance—some said he had been banished, others that he challenged the world's ruler. None knew the truth, for only Goku's women had witnessed that battle.
Now he stood here, alive, unscathed, and more terrifying than ever.
"You're my father-in-law. No need for such formality. Let's head inside—I have matters to discuss with you."
With that, Goku took Xun'er's hand and walked into the Ancient Realm.
---
Inside the Ancient Clan's grand hall, Goku sat casually at a table while Gu Yuan and the others stood tensely around him. Even without arrogance, his mere presence weighed on them heavily.
"Relax. I came only to fulfill Xun'er's wish. We'll be staying here for some time, and when it's over, she'll be leaving with me."
Gu Yuan sighed softly. He had long expected this, though it came sooner than he wished. He couldn't deny that his daughter's choice was a blessing for their clan. Still, parting with the child he had raised with such care was bittersweet.
At that moment, a girl in a light blue dress entered. Her long black hair cascaded down her slender waist, fluttering gently in the breeze. Her beauty dimmed even heaven and earth; her eyes were as deep as the night sky, impossible to look away from.
"Goku, Father—the banquet is ready."
Xun'er smiled, her girlish innocence giving way to the grace of a woman.
Gu Yuan's heart twisted with helplessness, but he could only smile warmly at Goku.
"Come, Goku. Let's talk after the feast."
That night, the Ancient Clan was in uproar. Their aloof, otherworldly young lady had returned not alone, but with a son-in-law—a man whom none dared oppose, for even their patriarch treated him with respect.
Those among the younger generation who once admired Xun'er could only bury their jealousy, for how could they contend with such a man?

Later, beneath the starry sky, Xun'er stood silently on a peak, gazing at the glowing halls below. Goku approached, wrapped her in his arms, and sat with her on a boulder, resting his chin upon her shoulder and breathing in her scent.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
he asked gently.
"Goku… thank you… for letting me meet you."
Xun'er's voice was soft, her eyes brimming with affection.
Caught off guard, Goku blinked, then smiled warmly, stroking her dark hair.
"You know… life here is harsher than the outside world," she murmured, gazing at the lights below. "The Ancient Clan thrives on bloodline, yet because of that, it suffers. Every few years, countless clansmen bring their children here, hoping for signs of strength. There are some miracles, but far more despair. Many who discover their descendants' bloodlines are weak… take their own lives in grief."
Her voice trembled with helplessness, but then she smiled softly.
"If not for you… I might have been destined to carry the burden of our clan alone, never knowing the life of an ordinary girl…"
