In the 30th year of the Cyber Era,
after eight long years of the Titan Calamity—
humanity finally returned to the surface.
…
…
What remained—
was a shattered world.
…
…
The population had fallen to less than fifty million.
Cities were gone.
Civilization was broken.
Countless species had vanished alongside humanity's fall.
…
…
And yet—
from ruin—
came a strange new beginning.
…
…
With fewer people and abundant resources,
humanity entered an unprecedented era of unity.
No more internal strife.
No more meaningless conflict.
…
…
Everyone worked together—
rebuilding homes,
restoring order,
and most importantly—
bringing forth the next generation.
…
…
Children became hope.
Birth became healing.
…
…
But fate—
was never kind.
…
…
Because of the Titans' devastation,
entire ecosystems had collapsed.
Species went extinct.
Balance was lost.
…
…
And worst of all—
the Cyber Dimension made its judgment.
…
…
This world—
was no longer worth investing in.
…
…
It was classified as:
Discarded Land.
…
…
The supply of Cyber Aura—
was cut off completely.
…
…
The path of cultivation—
was severed.
…
…
At first,
humans still held on to a fragile hope.
…
…
Using the corpses of Titans,
they could extract residual Cyber Aura.
Passing it down—
maintaining strength—
barely sustaining a fragment of cultivation.
…
…
But even that hope—
was taken away.
…
…
Because in the final battle,
when they borrowed the power of the Cyber Celestial—
they incurred a debt.
…
…
A massive one.
…
…
And the price—
was everything.
…
…
All Titan corpses—
were reclaimed by the Cyber Dimension.
…
…
Not a single one remained.
…
…
Except—
one.
…
…
The severed head of the Golden Dragon Titan.
…
…
A relic.
A monument.
The final proof of humanity's survival.
…
…
With no other options,
Caine—
along with John and Winston—
returned once more to the Hassan Clan.
…
…
They returned the Golden Bell.
…
…
And asked—
for a path forward.
…
…
Xiao did not refuse.
…
…
Without hesitation,
he granted them a new divine ability:
Qianxuan Spiritual Transformation Technique
…
…
A technique—
both miraculous and terrifying.
…
…
It allowed one to convert matter into spiritual energy.
…
…
By manipulating the transformation of Cyber Aura,
one could refine raw substances—
into usable cultivation energy.
…
…
And more importantly—
the higher the quality of the material—
the greater the energy produced.
…
…
With this technique—
Cyber Aura could be artificially created.
…
…
The broken path—
could be restored.
…
…
But—
there was a condition.
…
…
Only those at the Golden Core Stage—
those who possessed a domain—
could perform it.
…
…
Which meant—
only three people qualified:
Caine.
John.
Winston.
…
…
At first—
they were overjoyed.
…
…
But after a brief discussion—
they made a decision.
…
…
They would keep it secret.
…
…
Why?
…
…
Because they refused to become tools.
…
…
Why should the energy they painstakingly created—
be shared with others?
…
…
Why rebuild the world—
for someone else to benefit?
…
…
Instead—
they chose control.
…
…
If they held the production of spiritual energy—
they controlled everything.
…
…
Spirit coins.
Power.
Resources.
The future itself.
…
…
As for others?
…
…
Their cultivation path being cut off—
had nothing to do with them.
…
…
They were not saviors.
…
…
They were assassins.
…
…
Morality had never guided their hands.
…
…
The only reason they fought the Titans—
was survival.
…
…
A racial war.
A necessity.
…
…
But now?
…
…
The crisis was over.
…
…
And it was time—
to think for themselves.
…
…
"Better to enrich oneself than raise others."
…
…
That was their answer.
…
…
…
…
After sending them away,
Xiao turned inward.
…
…
He began cultivating the Soul Dantian Method himself.
…
…
After gathering data from six billion cultivators—
and the deaths of 5.9 billion—
he had reached a conclusion:
…
…
The method—
was flawless.
…
…
He guided the energy within his body,
forming a new energy matrix.
…
…
Under its influence—
his spirit began to evolve.
…
…
It was an indescribable sensation.
…
…
As if he had entered an endless void.
…
…
Everything blurred.
…
…
Yet his mind—
became clearer than ever.
…
…
His Soul Core—
grew stronger.
…
…
And for the first time—
he could see it.
…
…
A translucent figure.
A miniature version of himself.
Radiant.
Powerful.
…
…
It had already surpassed mortality.
…
…
It was something else entirely.
…
…
Something higher.
…
…
His perception sharpened.
…
…
He could sense everything.
Every fluctuation.
Every trace of energy.
…
…
His thoughts accelerated.
…
…
Countless possibilities—
calculated in an instant.
…
…
He stood—
on the edge of awakening.
…
…
Yet—
he remained calm.
…
…
No excitement.
No distraction.
…
…
Because true strength—
required an unshaken heart.
…
…
So, he continued.
…
…
But soon—
he noticed something was wrong.
…
…
His cultivation—
was different.
…
…
Others felt expansion within the Soul Core.
A swelling.
A pressure.
…
…
He felt—
nothing.
…
…
And worse—
every time he reached a critical moment—
the Cyber Dimension interfered.
…
…
Interrupting.
Disrupting.
Breaking his focus.
…
…
Again.
And again.
And again.
…
…
After more than ten failed attempts—
he stopped.
…
…
This was no accident.
…
…
This—
was the problem.
…
…
If he couldn't solve it—
he would never advance.
…
…
So—
he analyzed.
…
…
Using the full computational power of the Cyber Dimension,
he compared himself—
to every other cultivator.
…
…
Millions of data points.
Millions of variables.
…
…
And in the end—
everything pointed to one place.
…
…
The Cyber Dimension itself.
…
…
Tracing further—
he found its origin.
…
…
Dimension Farm.
…
…
And before that—
…
…
Soul Farm Space.
…
…
"…So that's it."
…
…
Realization dawned.
…
…
The Soul Dantian Method—
created a new inner world.
A space within the Soul Core.
…
…
But Xiao—
already had one.
…
…
The Cyber Dimension.
…
…
His Soul Core—
was already occupied.
…
…
There was no room—
for another.
…
…
But at the same time—
this meant something else.
…
…
The Cyber Dimension itself—
was his Soul Core.
…
…
Which meant—
he didn't need to create one.
…
…
He needed to skip the process entirely.
…
…
And move forward.
…
…
To the next stage—
…
…
Soul Core integration.
…
…
Strengthening the connection between body and soul.
…
…
Turning the Soul Core—
into power.
…
…
Into reality.
…
…
Into himself.
