Chapter 2: The Prototype of the Endless Abyss
It has been four years since Chu Hao crossed over into this world.
During these four years, he had already gained a good understanding of it.
In this world, the understanding of "worlds" is quite simple.
Worlds that possess powers such as magic, inner force, or battle qi are considered extraordinary worlds.
Conversely, those that only rely on technology or physical cultivation are classified as ordinary worlds.
Such a classification was not only limited—it was also extremely foolish.
Many designed worlds clearly had great potential, yet in the final stage of graduation projects, they were often graded as failing.
Of course, this was partly because each graduation project had to undergo multiple rounds of evaluation.
Many worlds with potential lacked the strong defensive abilities that extraordinary worlds typically had at their inception.
Therefore, most students—when creating their graduation projects—chose to strengthen early-stage combat power as much as possible, sticking closely to a few fixed rule formulas.
In Chu Hao's eyes, such worlds were dull, flavorless, and completely devoid of originality.
But more importantly—
Among all the outstanding graduation projects, Chu Hao could not find a single divine domain world similar to the Endless Abyss!
That's right—not even one!
Every divine domain was typically an orderly, small-scale world.
No one ever attempted to create something as vast, chaotic, and brutally extreme as the Endless Abyss!
In this otherworldly realm, no one had ever studied such a concept—
Except...
Chu Hao.
"You're going to design an extraordinary world from scratch?"
When the other students heard this, they all looked at him in disbelief.
They thought he must be joking.
After all, no one would joke about a graduation project—this was something that could determine their entire future.
And to create a world from nothing was something only the most exceptional geniuses could do.
Someone like Chu Hao—though capable—was still far from that level in their eyes.
"Chu Hao, even if you're joking, you should still take this seriously."
"Yeah, even if you don't go for an extraordinary world, at least design something simple."
"Focus on meeting the assessment standards and graduating smoothly."
Chu Hao merely smiled in response.
His ideas were far beyond their understanding.

After registering the name of his world at the registrar's office, Chu Hao received his World Origin.
A glowing cluster of pure energy.
"So this is the World Origin?"
Chu Hao gazed at the luminous sphere in his hand, calming his mind.
"Next, I can begin creating my divine domain world."
"But first... System, transmit the basic model of the Endless Abyss."
Chu Hao closed his eyes and called out to his golden cheat—his system.
Yes, as a transmigrator, Chu Hao naturally had one.
It had activated the moment he crossed over, but without a World Origin, many functions had been locked.
Now that he had ignited his divine flame and obtained the Origin, the system's templates and task features could finally be used.
"Transmitting Abyssal Base Model!"
A sharp pain hit his head, and then countless pieces of information about the Endless Abyss poured into his mind.
"So that's how it is... just as I guessed."
Chu Hao didn't immediately start building his divine domain according to the model.
Instead, he carefully studied every detail of it.
Then, he placed his consciousness into the luminous sphere before him—the World Origin—and, guided by divine flame, began fusing it with his being, establishing a stable link.
"So this is what it looks like when a divine domain world begins to form..."
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself surrounded by pure chaos.
The elements were disorderly, with no rules governing them—like a massive pot of porridge, where nothing made sense.
"All right, first phase... Create the world!"
At his command, countless raw elements started to converge under his will, forming the first landmass.
As the World Origin was consumed, the landmass expanded rapidly—soon spanning several hundred kilometers.
"Next, I'll convert the World Origin into rules."
Chu Hao took a deep breath, controlling the Origin with his thoughts.
"According to this world's theories, every divine domain possesses a set of core rules."
"For example, the four fundamental forces in technological worlds, or the heavenly laws in inner-force civilizations..."
"These main rules give rise to countless sub-rules that interact, creating a stable and reliable world."
"No rule dominates the others—they coexist like different parts of a machine, all essential to its function."
"But the Endless Abyss is different."
"The Endless Abyss is a low-dimensional world dominated solely by the Rule of Pure Chaos."
As he said this, divine fire flickered in his eyes.
Using the system's help, he constructed his first world rule—
Absolute Chaos.
The moment it came into existence, the newly-formed continent began to collapse irreversibly.
It fragmented and sank toward the lower dimensions of the embryonic world.
The continent became a wasteland where most life could not exist—a low-dimensional zone.
At the same time, the continental fragments began moving unpredictably—some breaking apart, others merging again.
The motion was utterly without pattern—even a high god couldn't predict it.
Such a world could never sustain life, let alone civilization.
By the standards of Tian Ding University, this project was a total failure from the start.
But Chu Hao remained calm.
He simply watched as the first continent sank deeper.
Then he created a second—identical—and watched it collapse the same way.
Then a third.
A fourth.
More and more continents fell—until the sixty-sixth one.
"Success..."
Chu Hao used his divine flame to gaze downward.
There, in the depths of the low-dimensional realm, sixty-six fragments had spiraled together into a vast, twisting vortex—
The prototype of the Endless Abyss.
Though still incomplete, its total area...
Already exceeded that of more than a dozen Earths combined!
And as Chu Hao continued shaping his creation, unseen eyes were already watching him from the darkness...
