Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2890: 587: Nine Rings Perfect, Chaos Holy Body, Secrets of the Universe!

Cery sensed the intense stare from the Giant Spirit God Witch, which left her somewhat uncomfortable. Instead of showing anger, she quietly departed without a word.

"Brother, what's going on? Have you developed an interest in her?"

Lei Long burst into sudden laughter.

"Indeed," Abel answered straightforwardly.

"She's no ordinary person, carrying the bloodline of some powerful entity. She could be a good match for you, but your power falls short. She's at level 8, while you're just level 6."

"So what? Give me a thousand years, and I'll hit level 8 as well."

Folks from the Fire Dragon Knight Family always boast about their bold confidence and unyielding strength.

...

Five years passed.

Nightmare World, Lost Domain.

The Lost Monarch rose from his throne, stirring a withered form untouched for hundreds of thousands of years, releasing a fearsome and domineering presence.

Flanking the vast hall stood 26 Nightmare Monarchs assembled across the years, though the gathering remained incomplete, with additional Monarchs expected to arrive soon.

Among those at Level 10 Late Stage were four: [Black Heart Demon Lord], [Arrogance Demon Lord], [Void Demon Lord], and [Cross Death Monarch].

These three Demon Lords counted as longtime allies of the Devouring Sky Demon Lord, embodying the forces of [Greed], [Arrogance], and [Lust] from the Seven Deadly Sins, each boasting immense might.

The Black Heart Demon Lord donned a dark robe, his eyes slender with pupils resembling those of a rodent.

The Arrogance Demon Lord bore a massive black mountain upon its shoulders, radiating an air of utter dominance.

This enormous peak served as its Illusion Artifact, brimming with limitless might. Due to its constant burden on the back without ever storing it away, it earned the nickname [Mountain Carrying Demon Lord].

The Void Demon Lord appeared tall and thin like a branch, featuring shadowy eyes, yellowish skin, and a weary complexion that made him seem frail yet attractive.

He resembled a figure lost to overindulgence.

The final one, the Cross Death Monarch, shared a long-standing bond with the Lost Monarch.

This impressive assembly ignited a surge of valor among every Monarch in attendance. Even the Ghost Alley Monarch, once terrified by the Dusk Palace Master, now felt a rush of courage.

"Over on the Nora front, three figures possess Level 10 Late Stage power, one being the Frost Witch who ascended through the might of the Frost Giant. Adding the Lost Monarch to our ranks gives us five, securing our edge.

Furthermore, fresh Monarchs keep swelling our numbers. With any luck, we'll swiftly eliminate the Dusk Palace Master and spare ourselves endless worries."

The Lost Monarch declared,

"My fellow lords, we've stationed a horde of nightmare creatures on the Nora Dark Side, more than sufficient to crush Nora. Join me in the advance, and let Nora and the Abyss behold our might—show them the essence of real terror!

Full forces, onward—invade Nora!"

As the energy swelled toward the crimson and ebony tear in the sky, the 17th century of the Nora Era dawned, heralding the nightmare invasion's launch!

...

Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

By the Small Stone Pond.

A potent spiritual energy scanned the area, startling the nearby little Groots into stunned stillness.

"Father God, Father God has roused."

"Flee!"

The little Groots dispersed in panic, like startled wildlife.

Levi paid no heed to the young ones hailing him as "Father God." He felt rather exasperated, since he and Mana had stressed multiple times that he wasn't their parent.

Still, these beings stubbornly viewed Levi as Father God.

Mana suggested it stemmed from Levi and her co-governing the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, so as its native offspring, they instinctively bonded with him.

Mana urged Levi to brush it off and even teased that he was benefiting at her expense, something he ought to relish in secret... which left Levi at a loss for words.

Levi rested his palm upon the Klein Crystal Ball.

[Spiritual Force: 64000/75000]

...

After 450 years in the nine rings, Levi advanced to the Nine Rings Perfect Realm. His awareness delved into his mind, sensing the shifts within the Chaos Holy Soul.

In that instant, he caught a fleeting vision of a time predating the Primordial, before chaos unfolded at the universe's birth, devoid of matter, spirit, or space-time...

This embodied pure emptiness.

"What could this be? The origin of the universe?"

He wandered through it, exploring every corner.

At last, he spotted a flawless white orb.

It evoked an egg yolk. Amid the "absolute void" around it, this stood as "all-inclusive," the direct opposite of "nothingness."

"Might our universe have sprung from such a tiny core? What exactly is it? Chaos?" Levi mused, realizing his Chaos Holy Soul was truly remarkable, capable of unraveling the enigmas of cosmic development.

Lacking any notion of time, no one could say when this thing Levi dubbed the [Egg of Chaos] burst forth.

All remained vacant, until hues started to emerge.

The four primal elements—Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water—roiled and merged inside.

Next came lightning, frost, and metal.

In this way, the seven special elements took shape.

They kept blending like genetic sequences, evolving and spawning ever more intricate energies.

These forces mirrored a periodic table of elements, where certain basic ones dominated the universe's material bulk.

Yet numerous unknown elements persisted, beyond the wizard civilization's ability to detect or label at that era, though they undeniably existed.

Levi observed the progression as a detached witness... chaos divided, ether arose, energies transformed... and so, the universe's basic framework took form. Notions of time and space materialized then, albeit imperfectly.

After countless additional years.

Within the turbulent universe, odd beings started to manifest, distinct from standard matter, harboring something sublime that transcended the physical:
