The training ground was silent.
Priyanshu stood alone under the twin moons of the Everbloom Continent, surrounded by the corpses of demonic beasts. The air was thick with blood, smoke, and power—his power.

His body glowed with a brilliant golden light, swirling with black lightning that crackled and hissed. His meridians widened, bones vibrated, and his sea of consciousness expanded until it touched the edge of divine comprehension.
"This is it... the threshold of creation."
In his mind, ancient runes and mystical equations danced in harmony. The system had not just given him power—it awakened memories of the past life, of when he once ruled ten thousand galaxies as the Hidden Lord of Realms.
And now, that ancient self-whispered:
"Create… and Destroy."
Priyanshu opened his arms. The wind surged. The sky above darkened as the stars trembled. Light and shadow poured from his body like twin dragons, spiraling into the heavens.
Then—
BOOM!
A wave of divine intent burst outward, flattening trees and mountains for miles.
[You have created a Domain: Create and Destroy]— A conceptual realm where all creation bends to your will… and destruction obeys your command.
In this domain, he could heal the wounded with a touch… or obliterate armies with a word. Balance and chaos coexisted like breath and death.
Suddenly, the world seemed smaller.

Priyanshu slowly opened his eyes. The stars above now bent ever so slightly around him.
"So this is true power."
He lifted his hand.
A massive stone rose from the earth, formed into a throne, and then crumbled to dust—all with a mere thought.
"Creation… and Destruction."
His lips curled.
But he wasn't done.
He activated his Concealment Technique, masking everything—the energy fluctuations, the realm breakthrough, even the beast corpses.
Then, he turned back toward the palace.

A cold smile formed.
"A princess, huh? Let's see how long she can shine before the shadow swallows her."
He vanished into the night—nothing but a wisp of wind.
The world would never see it coming.
