“The Celestial Clan… the Zombie Clan…as well as the Darkest Reach at the edge of the universe…” A murmur followed after another as Yu Zi Yu’s eyes flickered non-stop.

These were the locations of the stone steles that recorded the remainder of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

The records were far from detailed, but the directions… were clear enough.

And that was all he needed.

A faint, cold smile tugged at Yu Zi Yu’s lips as his consciousness shifted. Instantly, it descended into his other Form: the colossal Soaring Purple Dragon, floating motionless in the Void.

“Avril…”

“At your command, My Lord…”

A reply immediately came, before the Fallen Angel, Avril, with her six wings folded gracefully behind her back before Yu Zi Yu.

“Send the word to assemble the Void Army,” Yu Zi Yu commanded, “Soon, I’ll be leading you guys into the universe once more.”

“Eh?” Avril blinked, momentarily stunned. “So soon?”

“En” Nodding, Yu Zi Yu, in the Humanoid Form of the Soaring Purple Dragon, curled his lips into a faint smile and stated, “I’ve found the thing I’ve longed for… And I intend to immediately claim it.”

“Understood.” Accepting the order, Avril quietly withdrew. However, as she turned away, a strange thought crossed her mind.

[He feels… different. Compared to the past, he seems even more noble. I even felt the urge to bow before him.]

…

Meanwhile, Yu Zi Yu seemed to have sensed her thoughts. He couldn’t help but smile. [It seems she’s noticed this body is not quite the same as before.]

“Of course, Master.” Came a lilting, playful voice.

From behind him, Zi Er, the Primordial Elf of Void, leaped out, teasing, “The current you is like a noble prince in our eyes. In the eyes of us, the Void Creatures, you are like a sacred being, the noblest existence…”

“Is that so!?”  Yu Zi Yu’s lips curved into a smile as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

[It seems this body of mine still has much to discover! In any case, this body is really terrifying! Under the guidance of the Principle of Infinity, the potential of this body is being constantly tapped. If an average body is like a water tank, that can hold a limited amount of water, then this body is like an ocean, and it’s constantly expanding. So this is the astonishing potential bestowed by the Supreme Principle of Infinity.]

At this moment, as if struck by a thought, Yu Zi Yu turned to Zi Er and stated in a soft voice, “Zi Er, from now on, you’ll serve as my voice in the Void. If my eyes are closed, if I appear to be in deep meditation, you’ll take command and oversee everything in my stead.”

“Huh? M-me?” Zi Er froze, eyes wide. “Master, I… can I really do that?”

“I trust you.” Yu Zi Yu gave a gentle smile, resting a hand upon her head, ruffling her hair with unexpected tenderness.

[This little one is decent enough! Her strength is among the best in the Void. Furthermore, her Void Talent is extremely amazing. She is worth nurturing. It’ll be a good idea to keep her by the Purple Dragon’s side as a secretary.]

[Avril, the Queen of Knights, and Zi Lian, and the others would lead the armies beyond. While Zi Er would serve as the Purple Dragon confidante, its spokesperson in the Void.]

After a series of thoughts, Yu Zi Yu decided Zi Er’s future.

As for why this arrangement? Yu Zi Yu could not remain in the Purple Dragon’s body forever. His control over it was limited. Most of the time, he usually let the Purple Dragon sleep, letting it cultivate silently.

Just like now, if his consciousness withdrew to his True Body, the Humanoid Form of the Soaring Purple Dragon would sit motionless upon the throne like a sculpture. And every breath he took, he would inhale and exhale the endless Void Energy.

And that was the evolution of the Soaring Purple Dragon.

Of course, one must not assume that without Yu Zi Yu’s conscious control, the Purple Dragon became defenseless.

Anyone foolish enough to think so… wouldn’t even know how they died.

Because Void Creatures were beings driven purely by primal instinct. This body of the Soaring Purple Dragon was one that embodied the hunger of the Void itself. If anyone approached it with hostility while its consciousness slept, they would awaken a being unlike any other, an ultimate creature born of pure instinct and destruction.

The Void Clan, the Dragon Clan, the Bloodline of these two powerful clans would fully ignite, continuously elevating the Purple Dragon, transforming it into a behemoth with six wings, one so huge that it could coil around the entire Solar System. Its head alone would rival a celestial body. Those six wings, unfurled, would blot out the Heavens and cast their shadow across the stars. Even the so-called Moon would be nothing more than a trinket in its claw.

Worse still, the Void itself would pour its energy into it. Continuously feeding, empowering it without stop.

It would continue to grow stronger and stronger, until all that dared stand before it was erased.

For this reason, Yu Zi Yu had never once worried about this body’s safety.

No, what concerned him was something far more dreadful, that the other side of the Soaring Purple Dragon might awaken.

That Form… Yu Zi Yu called it the Infinite Dragon God.

A being that bore the title of Infinite and Dragon God, and the incarnation of the endless Void itself. The ultimate lifeform, one that transcended mortal comprehension.

“My consciousness represents the rational mind of the Purple Dragon,” Yu Zi Yu murmured softly, “but when I depart… what remains is the beast within…” murmured Yu Zi Yu.

So, at that point, the Soaring Purple Dragon would become something truly dangerous, so dangerous it could only be described as apocalyptic.

After all, within the boundless Void, there existed no being capable of restraining it.

If its beastly side awakened, it would spell calamity for the entire Void Space itself.

And that was precisely Yu Zi Yu’s plan.

When the Soaring Purple Dragon led its next invasion of the stars, before the eyes of all races, he would unleash its beastly side, allowing the Infinite Dragon God to rampage across the Heavens, shattering worlds and collapsing the firmament.

Then, his True Body would emerge under the guise of a savior, stepping forth to ‘rescue’ the Myriad Races from the brink of annihilation.

Just imagining it brought a flicker of anticipation to his eyes.

To cross blades with the beastly side of his own creation. Even for him, that thought filled him with excitement.

In that state, the Soaring Purple Dragon might truly possess the power to stand against his True Body.

“So, I’ve grown so bored… that I’m making myself my own opponent now?” Yu Zi Yu mused in a playful voice, as a shadow of a smile graced itself on his lips.
