I am the Master of all things—the Creator.
My will holds absolute authority over everything: over all power, every law, the cosmos and its infinite universes, the higher realms, the starry heavens, the Ultimate Vast, the Absolute Vast, the Null Vast, the Primordial Vast, the endless void realms—both inner and outer—the raging seas of chaos, the infinite abysses, the realm of primordial choice, and even the womb of nothingness itself.
At a single thought, I can destroy or create them all.
I am the Creator. Nothing lies outside my authority.
And yet… one existence does.
Even if I wished to erase him from my creation, I could not. He stands beyond all things, beyond every law, beyond every authority—even mine. He alone possesses the power to rewrite my will, while I can do nothing to him.
But I do not despise him.
For he is my favorite.
He is known by countless names:
The Chosen Emperor, the Void Emperor, the Creator of Nothingness, the True Creator, the Supreme Demon Emperor, the Heaven-Melting Demon, the Heavenly Emperor, the Eternal Supreme, the Ruler of All Things.
The gods themselves, the creators and destroyers, whisper his titles in awe. To most, he is the Ruler of Everything or the Heavenly Emperor.
But I call him by another name—
The Chaos Emperor.
And there is something about him that I admire most: he never accepts being called God. Whenever others try, he points toward another and says—"That is God."
I know who he points to.
He points at me.
He knows of my existence.
So who is this Chosen Emperor?
Once, on Earth, he was nothing more than a despised boy. A loser. Hated by his family. Scorned by his city. Known to all as trash.
That boy's name was Zhou Fang.
But how did a worthless youth, born with nothing, rise to become the only existence who could defy even the Creator Himself?
For that, we must return to the beginning of his story…

The Phenomena
It happened five thousand years ago.
Humanity had reached an age of great progress. Ordinary people could travel into deep space with machines. Civilization was at its peak.
Then came the first Phenomenon.
All life across Earth began to evolve. Creatures grew stronger, faster, deadlier. Weapons of war—nuclear bombs, antimatter warheads—became useless. Mankind trembled on the brink of extinction.
But before despair consumed them, the second Phenomenon arrived.
Humans discovered a truth hidden within themselves:
Inside every body lay an Inner Universe—an infinite cosmos of countless layers. The size and dimension of this universe determined one's potential.
Ordinary humans possessed only a 3D inner universe.
The greatest recorded potential was 25D.
And those who awakened their Inner Universe's power became known as Rankers.
The Rankers were divided into tiers according to the dimensional strength of their cosmos:
Tier 0 – 25D (God Stage; never achieved)
Tier S – 20–24D
Tier A – 16–19D
Tier B – 10–14D
Tier C – 7–9D
Tier D – 5–6D
Tier E – 4D
Every Tier, except the God Stage, was divided into Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Levels.
Through this awakening, humanity survived—and thrived once more.

The Zhou Family
In the present age, among the most powerful Rankers stood the patriarch of the Zhou family. His inner universe was 18D, placing him at the Advanced Tier A. His strength was unmatched on Earth.
But even he, the mighty Zhou Patriarch, could do nothing for his son.
For Zhou Fang was born with nothing.
No inner universe. No awakening. No path to Rankerhood.
The world called him trash.
But none knew the truth.
Zhou Fang's body was not ordinary—it was one of the Ten Divine Dao Bodies, known even among the Above Universes and Star Universes. Such a body was considered among the ten most powerful vessels of existence.
And this body, the Divine Dao Body, was not meant for Ranker cultivation. It was meant for something far greater—true cultivation.
For in the higher realms, even an immortal cultivator who had not yet reached the Immortal Stage could strike down an infinite Tier-0 Ranker with a single hand.
Such was the difference between Rankers and Cultivators.
But Earth had long forgotten cultivation. None knew of its existence. None understood how terrifyingly strong an immortal cultivator could become.

The Secret of Zhou Fang
So why did Zhou Fang remain weak, even when he himself knew he possessed the Divine Dao Body?
Because he bore a secret no one else knew.
A voice, a force, had revealed the truth to him:
The Divine Dao Body was not meant to shine in one lifetime. It was destined to die.
Through death, Zhou Fang's soul would reincarnate into other realms—absorbing their bloodlines, inheritances, techniques, and cultivation. His essence would merge with all that he gained, forging him into a being that no existence could ever defeat.
A being beyond all.
And so, he did not cultivate. Not yet.
For his path was one of patience.
Of ten lifetimes.
Of ten worlds.
In each world, he would cultivate to the final peak, surpassing all who had ever lived there.
And when those ten lives merged into one…
The boy once mocked as trash would rise as the only being beyond even the Creator—
The Chosen Emperor.
