Chapter 1 The Second Domain

The sky above Chan Wing City was enveloped in a firefall, with countless brilliant sparks blooming and ultimately converging into Gu Shen's brow.

Even Silver Fox was drawn in by this spectacle.

He frowned and murmured, "This is... the Second Domain?"

At Gu Shen's brow, where thousands of strands of flame gathered and intertwined, a small figure was coalescing.

"A humanoid domain."

Bai Xiu said in a deep voice, "Just like my Thunder Realm Walker."

The stronger the domain, the more likely it is to exhibit humanoid phenomena.

Bai Xiu's Thunder Realm Walker and Mu Wanqiu's Judge are prime examples.

Basically, all S-rank abilities can be "anthropomorphized."

Even A-rank abilities, such as Shen Li's Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao, can be condensed into a humanoid domain if the practitioner is strong enough.

But strangely... Gu Shen's "Blazing Fire" had always been in an embryonic state.

Yet now, the flame at Gu Shen's brow condensed into a small figure. As he opened his eyes, golden firelight spread behind him, and this little figure teleported to the back of Gu Shen's head, like a brilliant sun, constantly emitting intense light. The firelight, which almost stole the brilliance of the night sky over half of Chan Wing City, poured into this humanoid domain.

"How can this kid have so much extraordinary source material within his domain?"

Silver Fox couldn't help but exclaim.

These days, he had been carefully nurturing the two young people.

But in reality... both Bai Xiu and Gu Shen were top geniuses, one in a million. Often, they only needed a little guidance, and they could grasp the essence themselves.

In his opinion, it would probably take Gu Shen another half a year to condense his Second Domain.

Because of the three transcendences.

Every step of Gu Shen's cultivation path was more difficult than others.

He needed an extremely large amount of source material to complete the shaping of his Second Domain.

Even if he already had the qualifications to condense the Second Domain, this transformation time could not be omitted.

But Silver Fox never expected Gu Shen's domain to condense so quickly!

"Although the amount of source material in Chan Wing City is considered abundant, even if he ran the breathing technique day and night to convert it, it wouldn't be possible to shape a Second Domain in just over a month, would it?"

Silver Fox sensed something was wrong.

This was too unbelievable!

Even if Gu Shen devoted all of his mindstream power to source material conversion... this speed exceeded his understanding.

Unless...

This kid could produce source material within his own body!

The thought had just arisen when Silver Fox rejected it, because it was too far-fetched... To achieve such a miracle, wouldn't Gu Shen have to be a divine throne?

...

...

At this moment, Gu Shen's spiritual sea was unprecedentedly comfortable.

The Second Domain of "Blazing Fire" had困住 him for a long time. Because he had already fought against fourth-order powerhouses, Gu Shen had always been very clear about the path of the fourth order.

So, when he was on the verge of death in the Ice Sea, he had thought about similar questions.

Just like when a person is walking or running, they will never only think about the first step.

Before condensing the "Fire of Vitality," Gu Shen had already thought about... how to take his second step.

It was just that because he was in the midst of the situation, even if he saw some things clearly, the actual path he took was still somewhat different from what he had expected.

He wanted to "elementalize" and "materialize" his Second Domain.

"Blazing Fire" was ostensibly a mental ability, but it was actually a "special trait" ability, combining the elemental characteristics of fire with Gu Shen's own spiritual attributes.

Thus, the "Fire of Vitality" was born.

Gu Shen integrated his spirit and elements, but this First Domain was very lacking in terms of killing power.

Therefore... Gu Shen needed a Second Domain with sufficient lethality!

After Silver Fox's guidance.

He found a clear direction!

At this moment, Gu Shen stood up.

He clenched his fist.

With a bang, a crisp sound reverberated between the knuckles of his fist, and a circle of scarlet ripples rippled across the giant city wall.

The Blazing Fire spirit behind him made the exact same movement.

"Boom!"

A muffled roar erupted from the top of Chan Wing City.

The firelight waterfall that fell from the sky and splashed everywhere was completely crushed by the Blazing Fire spirit!

...

...

"Hoo..."

Gu Shen let out a long breath.

The Second Domain was complete!

He looked back at the fire-shaped spirit floating in the air, which was currently still in the form of a child... This was already Gu Shen's limit.

These flames had consumed 90% of his savings in the Pure Land!

The condensation of this Second Domain consumed even more source material than he had imagined. Condensing this fire-shaped spirit was somewhat like creation, and every inch of skin created out of thin air required a huge amount of extraordinary source material. Moreover, this source material had to come from within himself, and could not be randomly drawn from the void.

"The condensation of this Second Domain is a little more difficult than I imagined."

Gu Shen sighed in his heart, "But overall, it went smoothly."

He had only been in Chan Wing City for about two months.

"The successful condensation of this Second Domain is all thanks to the savings in the 'Pure Land'."

These days, Chu Ling had spent with Gu Shen.

The condensation of the Blazing Fire spirit was purely a "resource war," and the source material accumulated in the Pure Land was actually not enough.

Chu Ling had taken over a portion of the flower garden in the spiritual world and assisted Li Qingci and Adam in planning new constructions.

The current Pure Land was considered version 2.0.

"Not bad, it's fortunate to have you."

Gu Shen revealed a satisfied smile, "Otherwise, the Second Domain would probably have taken a while longer."

Back then, when he was cultivating under the Ice Sea, he had severed the spiritual link with Chu Ling.

Otherwise.

The condensation speed of the Fire of Vitality should also have accelerated, and it wouldn't have taken six years.

"For some reason, when I was helping you condense the Second Domain... I thought of the Divine Embryo of Mount Shrine."

Chu Ling said softly, "My physical body in the real world also seems to live on source material."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"If you can absorb source material in the Pure Land and create a Blazing Fire spirit..."

Chu Ling asked, "Does that also mean that in the future, after you come into contact with the origin of Blazing Fire, you can use the same method to create a Divine Embryo for me?"

Gu Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chu Ling's words were a revelation.

The birth of the Blazing Fire spirit was essentially a kind of "creation" from scratch—

His anthropomorphic domain was different from Thunder Realm Walker, Judge, Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao and others!

These abilities had already possessed anthropomorphic forms.

It was just that as the abilities were developed, the awareness of the anthropomorphized domains became more and more conscious.

But he had forcefully created this "anthropomorphic Blazing Fire"!

If he mastered the "power of life and death" in the future and possessed the ability to shape bodies with source material, it didn't seem impossible to create a pure source material body!

Now, the remaining problem was how to materialize Chu Ling's spirit and guide it into such a body.

In fact, so far.

Chu Ling's spirit was still an untouchable "void" to Gu Shen.

She was the source code, the program left by Mr. Turing in the deepest part of the deep sea, but her consciousness in 001 was ethereal and could disappear into the data ocean of the deep sea at any time, along with 001. Gu Shen had no way to salvage it. The Divine Embryo of Mount Shrine was equivalent to an external "hardware."

Chu Ling migrated her consciousness into the Divine Embryo and was born in the real world.

But to truly live.

He had to understand where Chu Ling's spirit was...

The source code was injected into the deep sea mainframe, and according to previous deductions, the deep sea mainframe had ascended and arrived at the Sky Divine Realm. Therefore, to find Chu Ling's spirit, he had to go to the top of the Tower of Origin.

Then, the biggest obstacle to this matter.

Was Qing Long.

Thinking of this, Gu Shen took a deep breath, feeling a sense of pressure.

"Okay, I'm just saying."

Chu Ling realized that Gu Shen's reaction was not quite right.

She didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and she didn't know that Gu Shen was already seriously considering how to ensure that he could kill the Sky Divine Throne without fail.

But she could feel that Gu Shen's emotions were not calm.

Chu Ling changed the subject and asked with a smile, "You finally condensed the Second Domain, which should be a happy thing. You should smile more. By the way... what name are you going to give this domain?"

"The name of the Second Domain?"

Gu Shen had never thought about this question.

His ability was called Blazing Fire.

This name sounded extremely simple, even perfunctory.

Because when he awakened his ability, the Security Committee confirmed that this ability was not on the spectrum... So, according to convention, the naming rights were handed over to the awakener and the teacher who discovered the awakener.

Mr. Shu had set the name "Blazing Fire" in order to confuse the outside world.

This decision was very wise and helped the young Gu Shen a lot.

Many people thought he was an element-type.

Then slowly, everyone thought he was a mental-type.

Until later, the world knew that this seemingly ordinary "Blazing Fire" was actually a special-trait ability.

"My First Domain can greatly heal illnesses and eradicate injuries... so it is called 'Fire of Vitality'."

Gu Shen whispered in his mind.

"It is because of the blessing of the First Domain that the 'Blazing Fire Spirit' was born."

Creation and destruction are opposites.

The Fire of Vitality evolved to the end and became the "power of creation." Blazing Fire absorbed the source material of the Pure Land world and created a brand new elemental body for himself.

"Karma, karma."

"It is precisely because of the Fire of Vitality that the current 'anthropomorphic domain' can be created and born..."

The First Domain and the Second Domain have such a relationship.

Without one, there would be no two.

"Why don't you call your Second Domain... Creator?"

Chu Ling suggested, "The Blazing Fire Spirit is still small, but it will gradually grow up. You can use this Second Domain to reorganize order and create a larger world... The subsequent 'domain integration' will be to incorporate that Pure Land that does not belong to you into the 'Blazing Fire'. Isn't this ability possessed by the Creator?"

Creator?

This was a word that Gu Shen felt awe-inspiring from the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, it was extremely appropriate to use it to describe the Second Domain ability of Blazing Fire.

This "fire-shaped spirit" created out of thin air was not just a simple anthropomorphic domain, it also meant the "hope" from nothingness to existence.

This was...

A miracle.

If he wanted to create a physical body for Chu Ling, if he wanted to overthrow the Sky Divine Realm and shatter the deep sea main system...

He needed a miracle.

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Okay, let's call it Creator."
