231: A thought of flowers blooming

The mysterious voice sounded again: Trial complete.

But this time it was different from usual, because after the trial was completed, a phantom appeared in front of Xun Xiuyuan, its face unclear.

The phantom held a bright flame in its hand, offering it to Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan took the flame and looked at the phantom in front of him.

The phantom seemed to be looking at Xun Xiuyuan and said, "Child, all the elementary trials have been completed. Next will be the intermediate trials, with three stages in total, all against opponents in the God King Realm. Good luck!"

With that, the phantom disappeared.

The phantom's voice was identical to the Secret Realm's prompt, it was the same voice.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the flame in his hand and directly placed it into his Sea of Consciousness.

Then, Xun Xiuyuan activated the key and left the Secret Realm.

After the flame entered the Sea of Consciousness, the five elements within the entire Sea of Consciousness were now complete, and earth-shattering changes immediately occurred.

The size of the World within him remained unchanged, but the continents and lakes within it were undergoing transformations.

Mountains, canyons, forests, plains, deserts, swamps, and various other terrains appeared across the continents. Aside from life, the World within his Sea of Consciousness was almost indistinguishable from an external region.

In fact, Xun Xiuyuan had already comprehended the Law of Life, and fragments of the original World with life attributes had also merged into his World.

However, even after these laws merged, only plant-based life was born, nothing else.

Xun Xiuyuan knew that something was still missing, he just didn't know what it was yet.

Looking at the clone in front of him, Xun Xiuyuan began his joyful time of drawing prizes.

As always, there was a Heavenly God-level treasure chest, and a Primeval World Fragment (Ten) also appeared. He finally collected a full set, which could be merged into a single Primeval World Fragment, and he could even choose its attribute.

After merging, a new item appeared in Xun Xiuyuan's backpack.

Primeval World Fragment (Attribute Selectable): Can be exchanged for a Primeval World Fragment of any attribute.

Looking at the item, Xun Xiuyuan did not use it. This fragment was too difficult to obtain, so he decided to wait. After all, being able to choose the attribute was too rare.

This time, Xun Xiuyuan's luck was explosive; two God King-level treasure chests even appeared.

He immediately clicked to open them.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Domain-type Martial Skill: A Thought Blooms.

Xun Xiuyuan had originally only hoped to get equipment to arm himself; he hadn't even dared to imagine obtaining a martial skill.

Because the probability was too low.

A Thought Blooms: Uses the power of World Projection to change the environment of a domain, or to destroy others' World Projections.

It was a very simple description, and Xun Xiuyuan understood that this martial skill was not something he could use at his current stage. It seemed to be a martial skill for after the God King Realm.

Regarding the secret skill of World Power Projection, why would the system give him this martial skill now?

With a thought, Xun Xiuyuan immediately learned A Thought Blooms and then went to a desolate location in the abyss.

He used the World Power from the nascent World in his Sea of Consciousness to envelop a range of dozens of kilometers around him.

The originally desolate abyss, under Xun Xiuyuan's skill, gradually transformed into a lake, and countless small mountain peaks appeared in the lake.

Finally, the mountain peaks turned into sharp blades, flying throughout the entire space.

Xun Xiuyuan could now feel that everything within a few dozen kilometers was under his control; space, the five elements, and everything else was within his grasp.

Within this range, Xun Xiuyuan felt like a Creator God, able to do whatever he wanted. This feeling was truly exhilarating.

However, Xun Xiuyuan experimented and tried to create life within this space, but he could not succeed.

He retracted the World Projection, but the area within dozens of kilometers did not return to its previous desolation; instead, it truly transformed into a massive lake.

And the lake was dotted with islands.

It was exactly the same as when Xun Xiuyuan had just cast the skill, and Xun Xiuyuan's mouth hung open.

He had thought these were just illusions, but it was clearly not the case.

The World Projection had a real impact on reality.

As Xun Xiuyuan stared at the lake in front of him, stunned.

A voice sounded behind him.

"It's not an illusion. World Projection is inherently like this. The World within you already has a prototype (nascent form), and such a large one at that. You wouldn't become a God King at twenty, would you?"

Ling Yun's voice sounded.

Xun Xiuyuan turned to Ling Yun: "Second Senior Brother, the power of World Projection is too overbearing, isn't it?"

Ling Yun did not answer Xun Xiuyuan's question but instead asked, "Can you tell me how you did it?"

Xun Xiuyuan did not hide anything and explained the situation of his Sea of Consciousness.

However, he still concealed some details, saying that the World within him was only a few dozen kilometers in diameter.

Ling Yun was surprised: "A Heavenly God Realm's nascent World is dozens of kilometers in circumference?"

Then he muttered to himself, "Is that even called a nascent form?"

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, waiting for Ling Yun's explanation.

Ling Yun looked at Xun Xiuyuan and began to explain. He had originally thought that his junior brother would need a long time to reach this stage, but he had progressed so quickly.

This junior brother was truly extraordinary; his strength changed day by day, and his old heart couldn't quite take it anymore.

"Heavenly God Realm integrates laws into oneself. Only after reaching Invincible Celestial Gods is it possible for the internal laws to transform into the foundation of a Primeval World. Remember, it's the foundation, not the kind of Primeval World Fragment we obtain."

"Primeval World Fragments are the manifestation of the power of the internal World's laws after a God King dies. That is the result."

Xun Xiuyuan understood Ling Yun's words and nodded again.

Ling Yun continued, "When an Invincible Celestial Gods transforms all six internal laws into the foundation of the internal World, a nascent World is formed. However, this nascent World is usually dead. Only when the comprehension of the realm is deep enough will the nascent World slowly expand, or one can absorb Primeval World Fragments to accelerate the growth process of the nascent World."

Xun Xiuyuan asked, puzzled, "Does that make one a God King?"

Ling Yun scoffed, "It's not that simple. Only when the nascent World within continuously perfects itself and can independently absorb the power of laws to perfect its own rules, can one be considered to have barely stepped into the God King Realm. Due to different talents, the size of the internal World varies for each person when they become a God King, which also leads to significant differences in combat power among God Kings."

Xun Xiuyuan sensed the World within him. Although it was very large, it could not independently absorb the power of laws at all.

Xun Xiuyuan understood that it wasn't that his internal World wasn't strong enough, but rather that he, this cheat, simply couldn't absorb the power of laws and could only rely on Primeval World Fragments to force it.

Ling Yun approached Xun Xiuyuan, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously, "Do you know how big the World within me was when I first entered the God King Realm?"

How could Xun Xiuyuan know? He mechanically asked, "How big?"

Ling Yun was annoyed. He pointed to a small island in the middle of the lake Xun Xiuyuan had just created and said, "About the same size as that small island."
