This special dragon egg, produced by the Golden Dragon using a special secret technique and fused with the world, had long been saturated with Chen Xu's power of creation.
By using this slow method, the pain brought by the power of creation was minimized, while allowing it to accumulate more within the egg.
Now, under Chen Xu's control, all the power of creation stored within the egg instantly detonated.
Dao principles began to take effect, gradually deconstructing the special dragon egg.
The process was extremely slow. To preserve the dragon egg's characteristics as much as possible, Chen Xu consciously controlled the power of creation, making it less aggressive.
Compared to previous creation modifications, this dragon egg's transformation could be called a painless, minimally invasive surgery, a true test of the doctor's skill.
Those previous modifications were like battlefield medics—regardless of pain, filth, or crudeness, as long as they saved the life, it was fine.
If it hurt too much and the subject passed out, that was simply treated as anesthesia.
While controlling the power of creation, Chen Xu also split his mind to guide the starlight resonance from the Towers of Starlight, drawing that resonance onto the dragon egg.
Creation was equivalent to taking an existing species and turning it into a brand-new one under the influence of the power of creation.
By applying the starlight resonance to the egg during the process, Chen Xu wanted the little life about to be reborn to become familiar with the power of starlight in advance.
Ideally, it would view Chen Xu, the creator, as its father, and the surrounding starlight as its mother or kin.
He did this because what he wanted to create this time was a giant beast specifically designed to destroy worlds.
It would feed on worlds, finding the joy of life in their destruction. It would be the end of worlds, an eternal nightmare.
Chen Xu lowered his head slightly, looking at the vibrating Towers of Starlight and the accompanying Mana-Sealing Statues below, then raised his head toward the starry sky, looking at the hundred brilliant stars.
These were the defensive measures for the Land of the Undead, the trump cards Chen Xu had prepared to compete with the Lord of Heaven for the fused world.
But defense alone wasn't enough. Chen Xu also needed a "self-destruct" option.
If all those trump cards were played and he still couldn't defeat the Lord of Heaven, Chen Xu intended to flip the table and blow everything up along with him.
If he couldn't have the complete world, he would deconstruct and blow it up. Obtaining some world fragments, or even relatively complete world chunks, was better than walking away empty-handed.
However, due to the ultimate Dao principles of special worlds, their stability was countless levels higher than that of ordinary worlds.
Eternal-tier experts could easily tear apart or blow up ordinary small, medium, or large worlds.
For a giant world, an Eternal-tier expert would need to charge up a bit, but a full-power strike would still cause the world to fall apart.
But for a special world... back then, so many Dao Lords entered Hell to crusade against the Mother of Hell, and the battle was so intense it lasted for who knows how long.
Even a battle of that intensity couldn't do anything to a special world like Hell. This showed just how sturdy special worlds were.
In the future, it would be a super-giant special world formed by the merger of Heaven, Hell, and the Land of the Undead.
Although 1+1+1 might not necessarily be greater than 3—it was possible the mutual suppression of special Dao principles would greatly decrease its sturdiness—it could also go the other way, significantly increasing it.
As the ancients said, aim for the best to get the middle, and aim for the middle to get the worst. Chen Xu prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Soon, the power of creation inside the dragon egg had completely deconstructed all original matter, even the outer shell.
Creation entered the next stage: merging items, creatures, or special regions.
This stage would add foundation and traits to the creation target based on the merged items, creatures, or regions.
This time, Chen Xu didn't plan to merge any items, special creatures like aberrations, or special regions from the Undead Dao Court.
The target for fusion was a world—a special world. The very Land of the Undead beneath his feet.
Chen Xu pressed his hands down hard. The dragon egg passed through layers of gray earth and reached the core of the Land of the Undead.
Then, the dragon egg passed through a layer of special space and reached the Dao principle level of the Land of the Undead.
Here floated a magnificent throne—the Supreme Throne, symbol of the Lord of the Undead and the source of the Authority of Creation.
Under Chen Xu's control, the Supreme Throne began to dissolve from the outside in, turning into bits of starlight that merged into the dragon egg. This process was very slow, and Chen Xu had to stay completely focused.
The Supreme Throne represented the Unique-tier necrotic Dao principles. One slight mistake and the dragon egg would be eroded by the Dao principles, losing its life and turning into a puddle of unnamable matter under the radiation of the principles.
Time passed minute by minute. Chen Xu felt mentally exhausted, a fatigue he had never experienced before.
This exhaustion was comparable to the "death week" before a project launch in his past life as a coder.
To relieve this fatigue, Chen Xu had to use his talent, activating 【Off-Duty】 and applying the Exquisite Heart to himself.
In the next moment, his sleepiness vanished, and his control became effortless once more.
"Phew..."
Chen Xu took a deep breath and sighed with emotion.
"As expected of the Exquisite Heart. Something that could even enlighten a Kunpeng is truly extraordinary."
Chen Xu snapped his fingers, moving himself to the Dao principle level of the Land of the Undead to observe and control the fusion of the dragon egg and the Supreme Throne at close range.
As the necrotic Dao principles were continuously merged into the dragon egg, beams of spiritual light shot from Chen Xu's eyes.
The Exquisite Heart raised Chen Xu's already impressive comprehension to an exaggerated level. Every moment brought a massive amount of insight, with spiritual light gushing out as if it cost nothing.
With spiritual light frequently overflowing from his eyes, anyone who didn't know better would have thought Chen Xu had obtained the Pig Talisman.
After a long time, the two armrests of the Supreme Throne had been deconstructed and merged into the dragon egg.
Chen Xu's own comprehension of the necrotic Dao principles also skyrocketed.
Originally, Chen Xu had mastered the necrotic Dao principles by controlling the Supreme Throne.
But now, by personally performing the creation and observing the deconstruction of the necrotic Dao principles at close range, his own comprehension of those principles was increasing at a terrifying speed.
"So, this is the undead. These are the Dao principles.
I... I understand!"
Suddenly, Chen Xu murmured, and a majestic aura erupted from his body.
Then, Chen Xu pointed his hand at the Supreme Throne and clenched his fingers into a fist. The Supreme Throne collapsed with a bang, compressing into a sphere.
He then opened his hand, turning the fist into a palm. The compressed sphere exploded, turning into a massive cloud of Dao principle light.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xu sent all the light into the dragon egg before him, fusing it completely.
"Spirit Ignition!"
Chen Xu shouted, and a burst of creation power shot from his body, landing on the dragon egg.
In the next moment, a new soul was born within the dragon egg, and a brand-new soul link connected to Chen Xu's own soul.
Chen Xu sensed the aura and soul within the dragon egg—violent, evil, and filled with never-ending excitement.
If this were an ordinary created race, Chen Xu might have been satisfied.
But this was a fusion with the Supreme Throne, the table-flipping trump card he had high hopes for. This level of malice was far from enough.
However, it didn't matter. Chen Xu knew the little fellow was still missing one thing. Once that was completed, this terrifying world-ender would be truly born.
Until then, Chen Xu would leave the little fellow in the Dao principle level of the Land of the Undead to continue absorbing energy.
At the same time, Chen Xu used a portion of the little fellow's energy to condense another Supreme Throne.
The Dao principles hadn't disappeared; they had simply transferred inside the dragon egg. Chen Xu just needed to use the egg as a relay to continue using them.
But this throne was only for decoration and to deceive enemies; he didn't expect it to serve any substantial purpose.
After the condensation, Chen Xu looked at the dragon egg, thought for a moment, and said:
"Your birth is for the purpose of destroying worlds. What stands in opposition to worlds is the endless Void.
Therefore, your name shall be Void."
As his voice fell, a low sound came from within the dragon egg.
"Ugh..."
