Chapter 1

The sun had already set, and the red glow of the sky pressed down upon the mountain peaks, illuminating the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly, a violent commotion erupted from within the forest, and countless birds took flight from the trees, circling overhead in uneasy confusion.

Looking in the direction of the commotion, one could see a clearing that had abruptly appeared in the dense forest—or rather, a massive crater with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters.

No, calling it a crater was not entirely accurate.

Because there was no meteorite in the pit, nor were there any traces of a heavy object impacting it.

The entire giant crater presented a perfect, flawless hemisphere.

Whether it was the soil and gravel, the roots of trees, or the large and small fragments of rock embedded in the crater walls, the cross-sections were incredibly smooth, as if they hadn't been created by an impact, but had instead been devoured by some unknown entity.

In fact, this was indeed the case; centered on the circle of the crater's cross-section, all matter within a radius of one hundred meters had vanished.

Only a single point of silver light hovered at the center of the sphere, seemingly contracting and expanding, flickering and undulating with the passage of time.

Until a certain moment, the air above the giant crater suddenly twisted, and the silver light, which had been but a point, transformed and elongated, gradually condensing into the shape of a human under the dim sunlight.

Before long, the silver light faded, and a tall human body emerged from within.

This person was approximately one meter eighty-five in height, with a delicate, youthful face, and muscles that stood out in distinct, well-defined blocks, as perfect and flawless as a golden-ratio sculpture.

Yet, this overly perfect proportion actually lacked a sense of reality, especially the skin exposed on the youth's cheeks and body, which was so smooth it could be described as completely flawless.

This was definitely not a characteristic that a human could possess.

At this moment, this non-human youth was hovering steadily in the air, limbs outstretched, eyes tightly closed, black hair moving without wind, his entire body radiating an indescribable fluctuation of energy.

When the youth descended, this energy rapidly permeated the surroundings, sweeping across a radius of ten miles in an instant.

Every living thing that sensed this energy, from the ants building homes in the soil to the massive beasts dozens of meters long, could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground, shivering in fear and confusion.

Until a certain moment, the youth hovering in the air finally opened his eyes.

In an instant, the terrifying energy covering the ten-mile radius rolled back and vanished.

All the creatures prostrate on the ground were stunned, cautiously raising their heads and surveying the surrounding environment with bewildered gazes, seemingly still unable to figure out what had happened.

"This is..."

"A new world?!!"

Gazing at the lush, dense forest ahead, the youth's previously bewildered eyes gradually brightened, and an irrepressible excitement and agitation surged upon his delicate face.

"Finally... finally made it in!"

The youth danced with excitement.

At the same time, the silver light on the youth's body completely faded, and the power that had kept him hovering in the air vanished abruptly, turning the cheer that had been full of excitement and agitation just a second ago into an unexpected exclamation.

"Ah—huh?!"

The muffled sound he had expected did not come.

The completely naked youth climbed up from the bottom of the fifty-meter-deep pit, patted his bottom, and turned around in surprise to look.

Sure enough, the bottom of the pit remained a smooth stone wall, with no traces of any impact, as if his body had not the slightest weight.

But this was impossible, because he could clearly feel the gravitational pull of the planet beneath his feet at this moment...

The youth looked thoughtful; suddenly, he discovered that the world within his body seemed to have gained an extremely weak, foreign energy out of thin air.

His heart stirred, and he immediately closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into his internal universe.

A moment later, the youth opened his eyes, a trace of an obvious smile appearing on his delicate face.

"So that's how it is..."

The youth's name was Lin Yu, a transmigrator who had experienced two transmigrations.

During his first transmigration, he accidentally collided with a world that had just been conceived, and from then on, he merged with this newborn world, his soul replacing the world's will, and his body becoming a cosmic container.

To a certain extent, Lin Yu at this time had become an existence comparable to a dimensional demon god.

But unfortunately, he only had the memories of his previous life of twenty-some years and knew nothing about his own existence.

Possessing an extremely high status, he could only drift eternally in the void sea outside the world...

The endless void sea was dead silent and dark, which, for Lin Yu, who possessed the memories of an Earthling, was undoubtedly a desperate cage.

He was unwilling to accept this, so he sank his consciousness into his internal universe, attempting to understand and control the power that belonged to him.

Gradually, Lin Yu initially mastered some of his own authority.

Relying on this authority, he could actively drive his internal universe to roam in this endless void.

After discovering this, Lin Yu was ecstatic and couldn't wait to embark on a journey to find the myriad realms.

But he did not know at the time that this void had space-time rules completely different from the myriad realms.

Here, space-time did not exist linearly but was in an extremely chaotic state.

Conventional concepts of orientation and distance had no meaning in the void.

The ends of the earth could be close at hand, and close at hand could be the ends of the earth.

Lin Yu drove his internal universe to roam in the void; he might cross billions of space-time units in an instant, or he might spend a long time and still remain in place.

Even more terrifying was that the void itself was constantly changing, with no rules whatsoever.

This made it impossible for Lin Yu to return along the original path; even if he stayed still, the surrounding void would continue to change incessantly.

In such a chaotic place, trying to find other worlds was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Lin Yu was a world unto himself, dragging his family along, with no worries about not finding his way home.

He bit the bullet and drifted around in the endless void; he didn't know how much time had passed before he finally discovered a silver ball of light blooming with radiance in this dead, dark silence.

The moment he saw that ball of light, Lin Yu immediately sensed the vibrant life force filling it.

Without a doubt, what this ball of light represented was a brand-new world!

Lin Yu was both surprised and delighted.

Worried that this world he had finally discovered would be "refreshed" by the ever-changing void, he rushed over regardless of everything.

But this world seemed not to welcome him; in the process of his forced entry, a great power originating from the world itself suddenly surged out, desperately resisting his entry.

How could this be allowed?!

Lin Yu had long since had enough of the darkness and silence of the void, so he immediately hardened his heart, determined to see this world no matter what.

Just like that, he contended with the power originating from the world itself for a long time.

Finally, under Lin Yu's reckless "fierce attack," the world was the first to concede, taking a step back, allowing Lin Yu's true body to squeeze into this world!

There is no need to repeat what happened afterward; in short, after sensing that sliver of power that had appeared out of thin air in his internal universe, Lin Yu finally understood why the fall just now hadn't made any sound.

Because at the moment of the fall, all energy, including kinetic energy, had surged into Lin Yu's internal universe!

"So, does this count as an energy absorption divine ability that comes with the true body?"

Feeling the weak energy that had appeared out of thin air in his internal universe, Lin Yu was thoughtful.

The next second, he raised his hand and pointed his index finger forward.

"Boom!"

In an instant, all the kinetic energy converted from the fifty-meter fall gushed out, stirring the air his fingertip touched, turning it into streams of air that impacted in all directions.

"Sure enough, it can be expelled!"

A strong wind blew against his face, but a smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

In just a few short seconds, he had initially mastered this ability, and could even set the types and thresholds for energy absorption himself, enjoying the feeling of a breeze brushing against his face for the first time in a long while.

"Since that's the case, what about gravity?"

Lin Yu closed his eyes again, sinking his consciousness into his internal universe.

Before long, the black hair stirred by the air currents gradually froze in mid-air.

Although Lin Yu himself remained in place, the gravity and other universal gravitation acting upon his body had vanished, leaving his entire body in a state of suspension unaffected by any external forces.

"Success!"

Lin Yu opened his eyes, raising his head with a burning gaze.

The next second, the energy that had surged into his internal universe gushed out from beneath his feet.

"Haha!"

Amidst a hearty laugh, Lin Yu's body shot into the sky, flying out of the crater in the blink of an eye.

Looking from above, a figure wrapped in air currents was rushing toward the sky with an acceleration of 10m/s.

The air resistance coming toward him could not affect him in the slightest; instead, like gravity, it was absorbed by the universe within him, constantly replenishing the energy he was venting.

"Whoosh—"

The air currents surged, but Lin Yu himself remained unaffected, not even his fluttering black hair moving in the slightest.

This caused his flight to become somewhat distorted, like a game character with a bug, constantly shifting in an anti-physical posture.

This way of flying did not have the freedom and joy he had imagined; instead, it reminded Lin Yu of his difficult journey moving through the endless void.

Compared to these unpleasant memories, Lin Yu actually missed the feeling of having his feet on the ground when he was a human.

So he withdrew his absorption of gravity and resistance, and his whole body folded in the air like a missile that had run out of fuel, crashing into the ground in an extremely unstable posture.

Just as Lin Yu had expected, this fall still did not cause the commotion that a fall should have.

All the kinetic energy converted from gravitational potential energy surged into his internal universe.

But there was still one thing that exceeded Lin Yu's expectations—

That was the landing spot of this fall!

About ten miles away from the crater, Lin Yu's naked body hovered in the air dozens of meters high in a "wood" shape, his pair of pitch-black eyes wide open, staring at the invisible barrier in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.

"... What the hell?"

"An air wall?!"
