When it came to his own cultivation, Yu Zi Yu exercised the utmost caution.

At present, Yu Zi Yu possessed three forms and one body, with his true body rooted deep in the vastness of outer space.

After two years of uninterrupted cultivation, and observation of the movements of stars, his Spiritual Energy had become more refined. His understanding of the cosmos had also deepened, and even the crown of his towering form shimmered with the brilliance of stars.

Meanwhile, his Azure Dragon Form had become the Heaven of the Nine Realms itself, embodying the Heavenly Dao and growing in harmony with those worlds. As the Small Worlds prospered, so too did its power.

His Void Elf Form, having reached Tier-5, was currently focused on preparing to establish a contract with the Red Dragon Queen.

Lastly, the Soaring Purple Flood Dragon, now at Tier-6 and crowned as a Void King, lay coiled deep within the boundless Void Space.

Raising his gaze, Yu Zi Yu’s vision pierced through the fabric of space and saw the Gargantuan Serpent lurking in that strange, otherworldly world.

Its immense body resembled that of a True Dragon, its scales layered in a dark violet hue that shimmered faintly with an eerie, flickering light. The Serpent’s violet eyes, cold and ruthless, gazed into the void as if waiting… or perhaps yearning for something.

In that instant, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness shifted, and the eyes of the Colossal Serpent flickered with a spark of intelligence.

*Hiss… hiss…* The Soaring Purple Flood Dragon let out a thunderous hiss as Yu Zi Yu’s awareness descended into its form, asserting its dominance over the Void Space.

Unlike his true body, which was warm and gentle like jade, the body of the Soaring Purple Flood Dragon was cold and dark, and filled with an indescribable hunger. An unquenchable hunger came from its empty belly, urging this body to devour, and devour more.

This was the price of becoming a Void King. One had to constantly resist the erosion of instinct. If the urge to consume could not be resisted, one would become nothing more than a puppet of desire, no different from a walking corpse.

Of course, for Yu Zi Yu’s Soaring Purple Flood Dragon, a Tier-6 Life Form, if he ever gave in to its hunger, it could easily become a catastrophe for the stars.

With just a single bite, or perhaps two, he could bring an end to a habitable planet like Elysia or Earth.

However, Yu Zi Yu dared not, and nor did he ever want to. If he did, while this body’s power would skyrocket, it would become the target of Heaven’s and the public’s wrath. It would not be surprising if Heavenly Tribulations descended upon it.

Yu Zi Yu always believed that staying low-key was the way to go!

Besides, with Evolution Points at his disposal, why would he bother to resort to such destructive, short-sighted actions?

Sure, indiscriminate devouring might feel satisfying, but the conversion rate and efficiency were far inferior to that of Evolution Points. For Yu Zi Yu, Evolution Points were the key to everything.

With Elysia and Earth, his Evolution Points would come endlessly, far better than simply devouring those planets whole.

In this respect, Yu Zi Yu was sharp.

…

At this moment, as he carefully sensed the changes in his body, the corners of Yu Zi Yu’s mouth curved upward. [Excellent! Truly excellent! As expected, my chance of mastering the Supreme Principle, the Principle of Infinity, has increased.]

As a matter of fact, Supreme Principles were not as simple as they seem. Each Supreme Principle was supported by various other Principles.

To simply put it, Principles too had divisions, with the ten Supreme Principles standing at the pinnacle.

To comprehend a Supreme Principle, one must first understand many other branches of Principles.

For example, in the previous era, the Immortal of the Human Race had comprehended one of the ten Supreme Principles—Principle of Good Fortune.

To comprehend the Principle of Good Fortune, he first needed to master three High-Level Principles, twelve Intermediate-Level Principles, and a large number of Low-Level Principles.

Only by comprehending a wide variety of Principles could the Human Immortal manage to comprehend the Principle of Good Fortune.

Thus, it was exceedingly difficult to comprehend a Supreme Principle!

For most, even crossing and understanding a single Principle was already hard, let alone understanding so many Principles.

Moreover, understanding them was only the beginning.

Knowing which Principles to grasp in order to eventually comprehend a Supreme Principle was also a closely guarded secret.

It was public knowledge that the Principle of Good Fortune required three High-Level Principles: Life, Creation, and Soul. However, the twelve Intermediate-Level Principles and even Low-Level Principles were known only to the Great Sages of the Human Race, remaining a mystery to everyone else.

This was also part of the foundation of the Human Race.

If fortunate, the Human Race might even produce a second peerless genius who could master the Principle of Good Fortune, thanks to their foundation.

The path of Principles was exceedingly difficult. Even though understanding a High-Level Principle could make it easier to comprehend similar Intermediate-Level and Low-Level Principles, each High-Level Principle was incredibly hard to access, more so than reaching Heaven.

The reason Yu Zi Yu believed that his Soaring Purple Flood Dragon might bear the potential of the Supreme Principle, Principle of Infinity, was because he had touched upon the three High-Level Principles required for the Principle of Infinity.

These Principles were the Principle of Growth, the Principle of Devouring, and the Principle of Conversion.

The Principle of Growth came from Yu Zi Yu’s Titan Bloodline, which granted him a body capable of infinite growth.

The Principle of Devouring was related to the power Yu Zi Yu obtained from the Void Behemoth—Gluttony, inheriting the Authority of Hunger, with the potential to further comprehend the Principle of Devouring.

The Principle of Conversion was simpler.

The conversion of energy and the generation of Evolution Points gave Yu Zi Yu a chance to grasp the Principle of Conversion.

Now, Yu Zi Yu has touched upon the three High-Level Principles required by the Principle of Infinity.

If he was fortunate enough to fully comprehend these three High-Level Principles, understanding the other Intermediate-Level and Low-Level Principles would only be a matter of time.

At that point, naturally, Yu Zi Yu could hope to bear the ‘Principle of Infinity.’

As for the specific Intermediate-Level and Low-Level Principles required for the Principle of Infinity, Yu Zi Yu was not in a rush to uncover them.

Since there was no clear path ahead, he could take time to figure it out. After all, among the ten Supreme Principles, the Principle of Good Fortune was somewhat better known to the world. The other Supreme Principles were shrouded in extreme mystery.

To some extent, understanding the Supreme Principles required guidance from an unseen force.

The Soaring Purple Flood Dragon seemed destined to bear the Supreme Principle—Infinity. It was not just Yu Zi Yu’s belief; it was more like a premonition, inexplicable and profoundly mysterious.

Some say that the ten Supreme Principles possessed spirits.

Rather than saying that one comprehended the ten Supreme Principles, it was more accurate to say that these Principles selected certain individuals and gradually guided them closer to the Principles themselves.

Right now, Yu Zi Yu was having that kind of feeling. His Soaring Purple Flood Dragon seemed to be guided by an invisible force, slowly leading him towards the path of comprehending the Principle of Infinity.

This was also one reason Yu Zi Yu understood that the three High-Level Principles necessary for the Principle of Infinity were Growth, Devouring, and Conversion.

Vaguely, he heard a voice telling him that understanding the Principle of Infinity required these elements.
