Chapter 5 – First Awakening: The Space-Time Clone
Night had fallen.
The stars above the South Coast Sector twinkled faintly through the dusty sky. But deep in his room, beneath the quiet hum of city life, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on his bed — his mind not focused on the world outside.

Begin integration?
Luo Chen's heartbeat quickened.
Space-Time Fantasy Beast… one of the rarest in the entire Origin Universe. Even in the ancient records, they're legendary…
"Integrate."
> [Integration Started – Please Remain Still.]
[Cosmic Clone Seed Forming…]
A sudden boom echoed in his consciousness — like galaxies colliding.
In his inner world, a vast dark dimension cracked open. From its core emerged a radiant egg-shaped core wrapped in strands of starlight and shadow — a cosmic egg, pulsing with immense space-time energy.
Suddenly, lines of ancient script formed in the air before him.

Luo Chen gritted his teeth as divine energy surged through his veins.
His muscles vibrated on a molecular level. His bones echoed like crystal struck by light. His spiritual sea expanded like a blooming star.
Time around him slowed for a brief moment.
Just a breath — but to Luo Chen, it felt like eternity.
And then—
> [Clone Complete: Your first clone has been born.]
[Host may summon or swap consciousness at will. Clone will evolve independently.]
[Current Limit: Cannot be exposed publicly before Sovereign Realm.]
Before him, in a suspended space-world within his consciousness, the Space-Time Fantasy Beast floated silently — a massive, draconic feline with luminous wings and a rippling, star-marked body.
Its eyes opened.
And it bowed its head to Luo Chen.
A creature of time and space… now bound to his soul.

Luo Chen opened his eyes slowly.
He looked at his hands. The same flesh. The same form.
Yet everything felt different.
He could sense distortions in the room — minor flickers in how time flowed around his heartbeat. His intuition was sharper than ever, telling him which paths led to what outcomes within the next second. If a blade came toward him, he could already see three possible ways to evade — before it even reached him.
He wasn't just stronger.
He was transcending.

A single step forward… but the universe would one day tremble from this first clone.

As the city slept, Luo Feng trained under moonlight, preparing for a future filled with monsters and trials.
But in the same building, Luo Chen had already taken his first step beyond the mortal realm — toward a path that led past Fighters… past Universe Lords…
Toward Sovereignty.
