Chapter 1: The Fall of the Greatest
In a mysterious place at the edge of the universe, a lone man sat in deep meditation.
At first glance, anyone might think he was just an ordinary human—weak, with no trace of power or cultivation. But the truth was entirely different… this man was the being standing at the pinnacle of the vast universe, and the bearer of the most arduous path known to existence: the path of All for One.
After a journey spanning millions of years of cultivation and struggle, this man finally reached the decisive moment.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying radiance erupted from them, while an indescribable energy surged from his body.
That destructive wave spread across billions of light-years, sweeping through worlds one after another.
In an instant, civilizations collapsed, countless beings perished. Even the strong were not spared, suffering grievous wounds simply for sensing his pressure.
The immense energy rose like a colossal pillar of light—unstable, yet leaning toward completion.
This was no ordinary energy… it was the embodiment of the universe's own will.
The man was attempting what no one before him dared: to devour the entire universe!
All of existence trembled, and energy storms raged across thousands of planets.
The universe resisted with everything it had, defending itself against this being attempting to seize it.
But the man did not retreat. On the contrary, he murmured with a grim smile:
"If the universe does not resist me… what was the value of millions of years I spent ascending to the peak?"
The struggle continued for a full century.
A hundred years of tug-of-war between the will of the universe and the will of a single man.
As time passed, the ethereal form of the universe's will began to weaken, contract, and edge closer to being fully devoured.
The mysterious man knew that this was the final step toward the Absolute.
With every breath, he was on the verge of achieving his dream.
The ethereal form drew nearer and nearer, until it stood directly before his forehead, separated by merely an inch!
But in that moment… something unforeseen happened.
Violent energy fluctuations suddenly surged through his body, breaking his balance and causing him to lose partial control.
The ethereal form smiled with relief, as if a living being had regained hope, and began to retreat slowly.
The man remained calm despite his ragged breathing, murmuring in a deep voice:
"Cracks… in my spiritual veins?"
This was no coincidence. He sensed a deeper conspiracy behind what had occurred.
But there was no time to think. The consequences were catastrophic, and his chance to devour the universe had become nearly impossible…
Blood flowed from his mouth, redness clouded his eyes, yet his gaze did not lose its brilliance.
With the last roar that escaped his throat, cosmic energies around his body erupted like a volcano, announcing the beginning of the fall of the one of greatest being in history!
