Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 1017 - 1006: Abyss World, Two Become One

"So, this is all there is to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, huh."

The first moment Bai Yan achieved the status of Quasi Emperor was not one of joy, but rather of slight disappointment.

Because the so-called Quasi-Emperor Realm was not as powerful as he had imagined. During the previous battle with Satan, Bai Yan had briefly entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm, even reaching the Quasi-Emperor Peak.

But now, upon truly progressing to the Quasi Emperor, Bai Yan found himself unsatisfied with the strength of the Quasi Emperor, yearning instead for a state of mastery over everything.

"Must I ascend to the Great Emperor before I can wield such power?"

Bai Yan absorbed all the memories scattered across the Endless Star Sea from his past life, and indeed, he had an understanding of the path from Quasi Emperor to Great Emperor.

It was precisely because of this understanding that he felt a tinge of disappointment.

If ascending from a powerless mortal to the Quasi-Emperor Realm is a hundred in difficulty, then from Quasi Emperor to Great Emperor is ten thousand, and in some conditions, it might even be fifty thousand! A hundred thousand!

Under the weight of these memories, Bai Yan was silent, the joy of breaking through to the Quasi Emperor was not as profound.

It's like the food you love most—when you eat it for the first time, it's particularly delicious, but after experiencing all earthly affairs, you find it just average when tasting it again.

This sentiment enveloped Bai Yan, so upon breaking through to Quasi Emperor, he merely gathered his internal aura, slightly soothed the restless will of the Endless Star Sea, and then returned to the Abyss.

He intended to return to the Human World, to return to Demon Island, but at that moment he changed his mind and went instead to the altar beneath the Abyss, simply sitting there alone, thinking of nothing.

During this period, he had thought too much, truly fatigued, and needed such a brief time to be with himself to adjust his emotions, preventing himself from being burdened by these inexplicable emotions.

He still had more important matters to attend to!

Just like that, sitting silently beneath the altar for three days and nights, Bai Yan's emotions finally returned to normal.

It was merely that his expectations for the Quasi-Emperor Realm were too high, so when his strength did not escalate to a satisfactory level, a sense of loss naturally arose.

Three days and nights were enough for Bai Yan to expel this disappointment from his thoughts, then he turned to more important matters.

Since his strength didn't reach the aspirational level, he would continue advancing until satisfied!

This was Bai Yan's own answer.

"Next, it's you. Let's see what changes you'll bring."

Bai Yan stood beneath the altar, at the very center of the first layer of the Abyss, which was now the center of the entire Abyss domain.

And standing there, Bai Yan opened the Abyss World he had created.

This was his first time opening the Abyss World within the Abyss, uncertain about what would happen, or if anything would happen at all.

But the outcome was apparently delightful, even surprisingly so to Bai Yan.

The Abyss World, upon reaching its limit of expansion, began to engulf the Abyss domain.

Not gradually, but swallowing the entire Abyss domain, including everything within the Abyss!

After the Abyss World consumed the Abyss domain, Bai Yan could sense it undergoing a transformation bit by bit.

The capabilities and characteristics of the Abyss domain were integrated into this new-born Abyss World. The boundaries of the Abyss, initially divided into a hundred layers, dissolved at this moment, leaving just one layer.

An endlessly vast layer!

Even Bai Yan's Divine Thought and unrestricted spatial movement couldn't fully detect this world's borders!

It's as if...the entire world continued to expand at a speed beyond Bai Yan's Divine Thought's instantaneousness.

Bai Yan found it hard to believe such a state was possible, but the subsequent scene gradually enlightened him about the transformation happening within his Abyss World.

An altar, condensed at the heart of the Abyss! Majestic and grand! Like a palace of the Gods!

When Bai Yan extended his Divine Thought to touch the altar, an exuberant emotion appeared in his mind, like a little girl savoring her favorite strawberry-flavored ice cream cone.

"A new world consciousness, is it? But what about the original world consciousness? Did it vanish?"

Bai Yan felt this Thought, not with joy but more with surprise.

"Not at all."

A voice sounded beside Bai Yan's ear, carrying some pride but also a hint of worry.

"You're still here, huh? Then why did another world consciousness emerge?"

In an instant, Bai Yan knew the voice belonged to the Abyss Will, which had once contended with him in wit and might.

"In fact, this consciousness was born long before the two worlds fused. You simply didn't notice."

"So that's how it is? What's your current situation then?"

Bai Yan coldly gazed into the Void, where the original Abyss Will manifested, but its state wasn't as poor as Bai Yan had imagined.

"Peaceful coexistence, what else can we do? I'm now like a teacher, guiding it with the knowledge it should know."

The Abyss Will chuckled lightly, seemingly holding some pride.

"One more question: if it can control this area, can you leave? I mean, join me in battling in the Outer Domain?"

"Probably not, I am ultimately rooted in this world's existence, perhaps I can leave, but my strength would diminish to the limit, and if not returned shortly, various issues would arise."

"So it's just like this?"

"Perhaps we can merge in the future, but definitely not now."

The Abyss Will looked at the expressionless Bai Yan, as if perceiving his emotions, "You don't need to think too much. Since my birth, I have been a different entity from you all. Merging with this newborn world consciousness isn't as terrifying as you imagine."

"At least I won't ponder the question of who I truly am; I remain myself! It is also me."

"Alright then, the Abyss's powers still exist?"

"Certainly still exist, otherwise why do you think I condensed this altar?"

"Just how vast is this world then?"

"As vast as you wish it to be, it shall be!"

The Abyss Will seemed asked about something particularly prideful, his smile couldn't be restrained.

"That strong?"

"Yes, quite that strong!"

"Alright, teach the newborn consciousness well, hope your nurturing journey goes smoothly."

Bai Yan suddenly laughed too; in the Abyss, having contested in wit and might with the Abyss Will, the two, while not friends, forged a bond more special than friendship.

And now it seems, this bond seems to continue.

But the inter-dimensional gates on Demon Island appear to need recalibration...
