Golden light flickered behind Chang Li Yao as the Codex Seal floated silently, spinning with ancient authority.
The system inside him vibrated like it was terrified.
[ALERT: Locked information is being forcibly opened.]
[Warning: This revelation was never meant for mortal consciousness.]
[Proceeding anyway…]
Chang Li Yao rolled his eyes.
"If this kills me, I'm going to be very annoyed."
The massive eye inside Hong Mang World stared at him, trembling.
"You should not exist with that power.
The Primordial Sovereign vanished before all creation
And you carry his Codex."
Chang Li Yao rubbed his temples.
"I didn't steal anything, alright? I just woke up in this world one day. Blame whoever transmigrated me."
At that moment, the system's voice deepened ancient, layered, cosmic.
[Correction: Your transmigration was not an accident.]
He froze.
What?"
The Codex Seal behind him glowed, and images flashed into his mind.
Flashback: Before Creation
He saw a figure a man of infinite light holding the same Codex Seals floating around him now.
This was the Primordial Sovereign.
He controlled:
the preuniverse void
the laws before laws
the original Dao
the flow of creation itself
But then
A colossal crack tore through the pre-universe.
Something devoured the Sovereign.
And as he vanished, he placed the glowing Codex Seals into the void and whispered:
"Let the next bearer awaken when the universe needs correcting…"
Chang Li Yao opened his eyes slowly, stunned.
"So… I'm the 'next bearer' he prepared?
You're telling me I'm basically the successor to some creation-level being?"
The system answered immediately.
[AFFIRMATIVE.]
[Your transmigration occurred the moment the Codex selected a compatible soul.]
[Your old world… was simply the closest point where your soul could be retrieved.]
Chang Li Yao stared blankly at the sky.
"So I got dragged across realities because a dead cosmic king wanted a replacement?"
The system beeped.
[Correct.]
"HE COULDN'T HAVE AT LEAST ASKED FIRST?
Even Hong Mang World seemed stunned by his reaction.
The enormous eye rumbled:
"Now you understand, Chang Li Yao.
Hong Mang World does not hunt you…
It hides from what you are becoming."
Wait, YOU'RE hiding from ME?"
The void shook.
Yes."
The Second Codex Seal Unlocks
The moment the truth sank in, the golden scripture behind him expanded.
The Second Seal shattered.
A tidal wave of golden light erupted outward.
The void bent.
Heavenly Dao knelt.
The Hong Mang World's eye closed in terror.
Chang Li Yao checked his hands they were glowing with precreation law.
He muttered,
Great. Another unwanted breakthrough. Wonderful."
1. Pre Creation Vision
He can see the "source code" of reality:
fate threads
destiny paths
hidden laws
realm weaknesses
With this, nothing can hide from him.
2. Absolute Law Override
Any law attempting to restrict him doesn't just weaken
he replaces it with his own.
Even Heavenly Dao Laws collapse instantly.
3. Eternal Codex Soul
His soul becomes:
immortal
unbreakable
uncorruptable
unseizable
Not even Hong Mang World can pull him forcefully anymore.
4. Sovereign's Mandate
He gains the innate authority to command lower laws and dimensions.
Realms stabilize when he enters.
Chaos retreats when he breathes.
Creation responds when he speaks.
5. Hong Mang Banishment
He can now erase Hong Mang energy completely.
A single gesture can delete their corruption from existence.
"It's about time I got something useful."
The void tore open as Hong Mang's voice trembled:
"Chang Li Yao…
The more Seals you unlock…
the closer you become to HIM
the true Primordial Sovereign."
Chang Li Yao floated calmly in the storm of creation power.
"And what if I do?"
Hong Mang fell silent.
Then softly:
Then nothing in this reality will be able to stop you."
Chang Li Yao cracked his knuckles.
"Good."
Chang Li Yao stood at the edge of his Infinite Domain, eyes glowing with pre creation light.
He raised one hand.
The universe, the Heavenly Dao, and even Hong Mang World froze.
With a voice calm and confident, he spoke:
"Time to see just how deep this Codex really goes."
