If he weren’t wary, he’d surely show the two of them a thing or two.

Guided by the little creature’s directions, Ivan relied on his extraordinary insight and foresight, traversing chaos after chaos, evading crisis after crisis.

Crossing a long journey.

Ultimately, he plunged into the depths of the void before him, disappearing without a trace, leaving not a single breath or mark.

In moments, Orlando and Farasheng arrived, only to find themselves a bit dumbfounded, as their tracking methods failed.

"Did he really escape?"

"Indeed, no trace remains, completely and utterly."

"Is there such a place in the Endless Abyss?"

"That’s right, here it is."

The two exchanged a glance, with little disappointment in their eyes but rather a hint of surprise and joy, for they had discovered an incredible secret, an unexpected delight.

On the other side.

Ivan emerged from the void, arriving at a desolate place, and at a glance, the entire space seemed like a colorful bubble shrouded in a gray mist.

Outside, it was dimly gray, the unremarkable-looking Chaos Qi.

Inside, various halos spread, soft yet not lacking in grandeur.

Besides this, nothing else existed.

Yet he was very familiar with this place, recognizing it at first sight as the core of a plane—the Primordial Realm. In front of him lay an unusually simple Primordial Realm, simplistic to the point of not resembling one.

"Don’t tell me this is the Primordial Realm of the Abyss Plane?"

"This is the place that nurtured me."

Within the Wisdom Treasure Realm, the little creature kept urging Ivan to let it out.

Earlier, when Ivan was unprepared, it sneaked into the Wisdom Treasure Realm, lying motionless inside. Now, as Ivan’s control over the Wisdom Treasure Realm deepened, he naturally wouldn’t allow it to come and go freely.

If it wanted to get out, it needed Ivan’s permission.

"Get out? Don’t you like staying inside? There’s no rush, no rush."

"What are you planning?"

"Explain the previous question thoroughly, how does the High-grade Original Force Treasure carry the Power of Ancestor, and how does it evolve into a self-rule comparable to the Ancestor Realm."

"------"

It turns out that the High-grade Original Force Treasure has a unique ability, especially after undergoing years of brewing and a vital metamorphosis, it evolves self-rule.

This rule, in terms of power level, is equivalent to the Power of Ancestor.

But it is relatively simple, not quite as profound, with considerable differences from the rules forged by Ancestors.

No matter the differences, it’s a power at the Ancestor Level that no one should underestimate. Furthermore, the High-grade Original Force Treasure can also carry the compatible Power of Ancestor.

"I see."

Listening to the little creature’s detailed explanation, Ivan’s expression revealed understanding.

The reason he didn’t know was simply that he had no contact with it, whether it was Danaila or the Ash Plane. The former had only one Ancestor, the Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain, who guarded the earth’s core for years, rarely showing up.

The latter, the sole Ancestor, Shadow of Annihilation, was slain in the last great battle.

Without Ancestors, carrying the Power of Ancestor is naturally out of the question.

As for the High-grade Original Force Treasures that evolve self-rules, they are incredibly rare, each being a Supreme Treasure, and won’t easily be revealed nor shared with others.

The Fang Yu Map of Earth Core Lineage might just be one of these.

"Metamorphosis."

"Self-rule."

Ivan fixed his gaze on his High-grade Original Force Treasures, four in total: the Ten Thousand Dragon Banner, the Witch Ghost Face, the Wisdom Rainbow, and the Wisdom Golden Pupil, each possessing incredible power.

Soon, he withdrew his probing gaze, for until now, he hadn’t found any traces of Rule Power in any of them.

This clearly indicated that none of the four had completed that crucial metamorphosis and still required time to settle and ferment.

According to the little creature, there’s a significant failure probability in the self-rule evolution of High-grade Original Force Treasures. If unsuccessful, it can lead to severe backlash, dropping its grade from upper class to intermediate.

The cost cannot be underestimated!

Later, Ivan asked many questions, which the little creature answered one by one, some even unknown to it.

A moment later, he released the little creature from the Wisdom Treasure Realm.

The little creature still resembled a beast egg, settled in the center of the Primordial Realm, quieting down.

’Destroy the bridge after crossing?’

Ivan’s eyes flickered with a touch of intrigue, for he instantly sensed a growing repulsive force on him, originating from the Primordial Realm before him, and it kept increasing.

Don’t underestimate this sorcerer!

He promptly used the Wisdom Treasure to suppress it, simulating the little creature’s aura with the Witch Ghost Face, aiming to significantly reduce the repulsive force and slow its growth.

With a flick of his hand, a meditation mat appeared mid-air.

He stepped forward, sitting cross-legged on the mat, looking impolitely around, extending his senses, multitasking, cautiously yet greedily savoring the mysteries of this Primordial Realm.

In the Ash Plane’s Primordial Realm, no matter how much Vanessa trusted him, she would not expose her roots, which is only natural.

At present, this Primordial Realm is exceptionally damaged, and many things can’t be concealed, giving him an unobstructed view, as if he could fully explore the secrets of the Primordial Realm.

What an invaluable opportunity!

How could he bear to leave so quickly!

Time swiftly passed unnoticed, as Ivan was completely absorbed in exploring the secrets of the Primordial Realm, until the repulsive force on him suddenly intensified, forcing him to address it.

’Life transfer? No, it should be mission transfer.’

’The little creature is indeed loyal.’

At the center of the Primordial Realm, a beast egg split into two. The little creature he brought along used its own power, combined with the realm’s inherent power, to create a new beast egg.
