World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those once-dominant mighty clans now remain only as faint totems amid broken walls and ruins; the names that shook antiquity have long been buried in weathered pages of epic history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the world itself endures, ever-flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the old kings fall, new ambitions sprout from their corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the memory of the Lord of Bliss, traces remain of numerous prodigious clans roaming the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet most of these clans now exist only as traces, with no future left to renew them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its constant search, the Lord of Bliss’s consciousness paused in one region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a continent in the northeastern direction of the Pale Continent, roughly one-thirtieth its size, known as: the Soul Severance Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was separated from the Pale Continent by a vast ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene that surfaced in its mind was an ancient ruin forgotten by time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was carpeted with bone sand, whispering faint hums as stirred by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackened colossal pillars jutted diagonally toward the sky, entwined with long-extinguished rune chains, their ends hanging a half-destroyed bronze giant statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below stood more statues of similar design, most of their faces eroded by time, as if still stubbornly guarding a glory long vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, twelve inverted pyramids hung unevenly in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bases pointed upward, their peaks downward, as if forcibly ripped from the earth by some great power and carelessly discarded here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bas-reliefs on their surfaces recorded the twelve greatest expeditions of this clan; now, the shapes of these reliefs had grown indistinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, fragments of memory surged into the Lord of Bliss’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in memory, this region had once been home to a highly promising clan: the Reflection Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They possessed crystalline pupils capable of perceiving the deepest hidden desires for display within all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children eager to show off new toys, warriors longing to display their scars, monarchs obsessed with the spectacle of masses bowing before them… the inner images of display desired by all living beings were woven by them into mirages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its peak, the Reflection Clan’s capital floated endlessly with billions of illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merchants’ cries mingled with palace music and feasts, heroes’ exploits overlapped with children’s doodles, whispered confidences of close friends blended with imperial edicts… all scenes were collages of inner display desires from beings across countless worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reflection Clan could obtain the logical energy generated by the rule “Reflection” by observing the deep display desires of other living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy was also called by the Reflection Clan: sustenance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its zenith, the Reflection Clan had the potential to claim dominion over the Soul Severance Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was unclear what ultimately befell them—now only ruins remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze shifted to a altar at the center of the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rusted colossal royal sword stood planted at the altar’s center; the nine star gems embedded in its hilt had long shattered and dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-stained characters etched upon the blade were legible to the Lord of Bliss:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where this sword points, all is royal land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy within the blade had long dried up; now it was merely a lump of scrap iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As consciousness soared above the ruins, it observed numerous monster figures within the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were pets originally raised by the Reflection Clan; others likely brought by other Jianglin  forces, possibly mixed with native Monster World creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning the life-force and mental-intensity fluctuations of these monsters, it found most surprisingly aligned with its needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for safety’s sake,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it decided to conduct a thorough investigation, ensuring no unforeseen risks existed, before considering turning this site into the next test ground for the Bliss Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, its consciousness spread like a spiderweb across the scene, each sensory filament seeping into the marrow of the ruins, sweeping over every grain of bone sand upon the scorched earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advancing inch by inch, leaving no possible risk unexamined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the surface, even the underground required inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had once witnessed a brutal suicide trap in the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dying clan buried a “Myriad Forms Return to Void” node beneath its ancestral land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the clan’s annihilation and occupation by an alien force, the node detonated unexpectedly, inflicting heavy losses upon the invaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Reflection Clan lacked such technology, the probability of such an act was extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even the slightest possibility could not be ignored—it would not risk future unforeseen losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, the Lord of Bliss’s consciousness seeped like a Black Tide into the earth, each thread of perception weaving through the subterranean layers, scanning the rock strata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 138 meters underground, it saw a crystallized neural network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Reflection Clan’s former illusion transmission pipeline, now turned into brittle rock veins; after scanning confirmed no danger, it continued descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it sensed a faint, low-frequency vibration beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensory filaments instantly coalesced into needles, piercing precisely toward the source of the tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vision leapt through layers of rock, revealing dozens of centipede-like creatures in slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing them merely as subterranean monsters, the Lord of Bliss still did not overlook them, meticulously analyzing their life-force fluctuations and building corresponding combat-evaluation data within its own species database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The species database was a system conceived after it launched the Bliss Fane Project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every living being that “strayed” into the Bliss Fane was meticulously recorded—even dissected and studied—to become part of the database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As data samples increased, the accuracy of strength assessments gradually improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relevant data included shell hardness, life-force intensity, mental-intensity intensity, cellular regeneration speed, energy metabolism rate, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without rule or special ability enhancements, this template could fairly accurately assess an individual’s strength, with minimal deviation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After acquiring the data, the Lord of Bliss’s consciousness continued probing deeper underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consciousness brushed like a thread over every corner of the lower strata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it suddenly sensed an anomalous fluctuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fluctuation was not a life-force signature—it was pure energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perception pierced through the subterranean rock layers, revealing at the deepest point beneath the inverted pyramids a fleshy organ resembling a heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though no longer pulsing, it still emitted an extremely faint energy fluctuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perception halted before the heart; suddenly, it dared not advance further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if this were an Yishi  trap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much hesitation, it still decided to investigate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should any danger arise, it would withdraw decisively—no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consciousness slowly seeped into the fleshy heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Lord of Bliss saw what lay within, its physical body atop the main altar froze, its Thousand-Faced visage locking in stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Reflection Clan’s once-revered rule: Reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rule’s form resembled a liquid droplet, its surface flowing with starry glazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a complete rule core—unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Bliss had never imagined finding a rule here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had witnessed too many clan wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every war, if any side carried a rule,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>upon the clan’s annihilation, its ancestral land would be excavated to a depth of ten thousand feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the rule could not be found, they would attempt to decipher the clan’s related information and locate the small world it once inhabited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they would construct a positioning teleportation array to travel to that small world and search for whether the rule had been returned to its native world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this investigation was, more accurately, grave-robbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the entire small world were broken into particles, they would hunt for traces of the rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such was the allure of a rule—even to peak-tier clans, it held immense value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under normal circumstances, a destroyed clan could never leave behind a rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, in the Reflection Clan’s underground, it had found a rule core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ecstasy surged like a Black Tide through its consciousness, but it quickly suppressed the emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rule was within reach, yet the more precious an object, the more likely it concealed a fatal trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cautiously split off a thread of consciousness, slowly winding toward the rule core, attempting to analyze the rule’s power within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core’s internal energy flowed like a river of stars; each beam of light represented a rule-level energy, magnified in the Lord of Bliss’s perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the sensory tentacles neared the rule core, the Lord of Bliss once again hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the rule core was a revenge trap left by the Reflection Clan for outsiders?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single touch might trigger an consciousness-transmission-level explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the rule itself was fake, merely an illusionary disguise—beyond its ability to detect, yet lethal upon contact, delivering fatal toxins along the consciousness link…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One speculation followed another, deepening the Lord of Bliss’s hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It dared not act rashly; it knew the sweeter the fruit, the more likely it concealed poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must ensure this rule core was absolutely safe before daring to harvest it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consciousness retracted; the figure atop the main altar opened its eyes seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next phase of investigation, it would use a clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It raised its pale, slender finger; a viscous purple energy oozed from its tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a living thing, it writhed through the air, countless tiny runes flickering and darting within the flow of Bliss energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid spread into purple mist, churning until it solidified into a figure identical to its true body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same Thousand-Faced visage, same aura of authority—yet the pupils lacked a spark of sentience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone descended slowly, robes stirring without wind, its body entwined with the same Bliss Fazezhili  as its true body, though slightly paler in hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Bliss gazed at His creation, gently tapping a fingertip to infuse a strand of consciousness into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The avatar’s eyes instantly flared with violet light, then, under its control, turned and traveled along the spatial ribbon toward the Bliss Outpost connected to the Soul Sever Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the original body on the altar raised a hand and condensed a flickering soul-fire representing the avatar, then slowly closed its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the avatar appeared above the ruins of the Reflection Clan, the Lord of Bliss’s controlled avatar began digging and exploring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although similarly operated by consciousness, the avatar’s advantage lay in its ability to pre-set action commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the avatar reached the deep underground, before a heart-shaped storage device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Bliss had pre-programmed the exploration command, then decisively severed the connection between consciousness and avatar, beginning to observe the fluctuation frequency of the soul-fire before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should the avatar die, the soul-fire would extinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later, the Lord of Bliss reconnected with His avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared in His vision was the interior of the “heart”—the avatar had breached the outer wall and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the floating, faintly glowing Reflection Rule nearby, the Lord of Bliss issued another pre-set command, instructing the avatar to approach and make contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, He severed the connection and continued observing the floating soul-fire before Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having confirmed the avatar’s safety, the Lord of Bliss reconnected once more, initiating a series of tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perception contact, energy injection, operational tests… Each test initiated, the Lord of Bliss severed the connection between original and avatar, ensuring that even if a sudden event occurred, only the avatar would be lost—with no impact on the original body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full day’s effort, the Lord of Bliss finally confirmed with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had truly struck great fortune—recovered a Rule left behind by the Reflection Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the effect of this Rule was extraordinarily miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By searching for the innermost images that living beings across myriad worlds yearned to display and boast about, whenever any living being observed such images, the possessor of the Reflection Rule could generate Rule-derived energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of energy strength, it was no weaker than the Bliss Rule He held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But precisely how to use it, He still needed more detailed testing and research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the avatar returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the avatar stepped into the main hall, the Lord of Bliss’s gaze locked firmly onto the hovering, droplet-shaped Rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its core shimmered with radiant light, illuminating the entire main hall with ethereal, swirling illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand-Faced Countenance slowly relaxed, raising a hand—the Rule obediently drifted into His palm, its texture warm and smooth, pulsing with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No trap, no parasitism, not even a crude imitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely the most powerful relic the Reflection Clan once wielded during their dominance over the Soul Sever Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Bliss clenched His five fingers, feeling the contact between the Rule and His own power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it, the development of the Bliss Legion would double in efficiency, enabling the creation of far more diverse war systems by combining Rule energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path to the peak now gained another solid foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet how exactly to use the Reflection Rule, He had not yet conceived a suitable method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reflection Clan’s original choice had been to project, above their homeland, the innermost desires of creatures from the Monster World and other minor worlds, transforming them into celestial screens that played continuously overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this method was unsuitable for the Bliss Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bliss Clan followed an elite cultivation system; their numbers were inherently few, and every member served a vital purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were scattered across various Bliss Outposts, responsible for outpost security—utterly lacking the capacity to function as “observers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, external living beings must still be leveraged to generate Rule energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst swirling thoughts, the Lord of Bliss decided to first rebuild the Bliss Legion before addressing the Reflection Rule’s application.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, He gazed forward and spoke in a low tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evil Speech.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure with purple skin materialized, bowing respectfully to the Lord of Bliss:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Proceed to the regions I have marked on the Soul Sever Continent and assist me in rebuilding the Bliss Legion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Speech nodded, then his form dissolved into a stream of violet light, traveling along one of the countless spatial ribbons connecting to the Bliss Palace, flying toward the Soul Sever Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Bliss watched Evil Speech depart, then gently tapped the air before Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the ruins of the Reflection Clan on the Soul Sever Continent began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bliss energy crossed space; strands of purple mist seeped from spatial rifts, slithering like serpents across the ruined earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, more and more purple mist converged from all directions toward the marked site, forming a massive energy vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the vortex’s center, the mist solidified into crystals, growing like living organisms, interlocking with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They etched complex spiritual runes across the ground, each line flowing with viscous liquid energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the array, a thick purple crystal pillar erupted from the earth, its surface covered in pulsing, vein-like patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar then rose at visible speed, forming the main skeletal structure of a towering spire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More purple crystals wove between the framework, like a living spiderweb, gradually filling every inch of the tower’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bliss runes spontaneously emerged on the tower walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Bliss Tower pierced the sky like a blade, its body entwined with violet runes, its summit forming a platform upon which floated an eye—used to construct the spiritual network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furnace at the tower’s core, once generated, continuously spewed viscous purple mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the incubation pool of Bliss Evil Influences—capable of freely generating any stored type of evil creature according to the will of the operator on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Bliss Tower’s formation, the nearby earth trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface suddenly collapsed, revealing a slowly rising Chuxing  of the Bliss Mother Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nest’s surface was riddled with honeycomb-like holes, each leaking amber-colored nutrient fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside floated purple-shelled, egg-like objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With crisp cracks, the first batch of Bliss Insect Warriors burst forth—their carapaces gleaming
