In all of the infinitely many worlds, there was one where people could use Qi, not the only one of its kind, but it had one person with the talent and potential to overthrow the entire Omniverse, he was Mao Kang, The Chaos Within, a young man that purely through cultivation and nothing else reached the supreme pinnacle of his verse.
The void trembled as another wave of Primordial Supreme beings materialized, their forms radiating power that could unmake galaxies with a thought. Seventeen thousand entities, each one a pillar of existence itself, descended upon the lone figure standing amidst the carnage.
"Mao Kang! You cannot withstand us all! Surrender and we shall grant you a swift end!" The voice of the Eternal Fusion Patriarch boomed across the emptiness, his nine reality-warping seals already forming.
Mao Kang simply closed his eyes, centering himself as he had done countless times before. The attacks came—conceptual erasure, timeline destruction, soul annihilation, existence negation. Techniques that had ended wars spanning entire multiverses converged on a single point.
When the light faded, he stood unmarred. Not a thread of his robe disturbed.
"Is that all?" His voice was flat, devoid of mockery. Simply stating fact.
The Eternal Fusion Patriarch's expression shifted from confidence to incomprehension. "Impossible. Those were—"
His words cut short as Mao Kang moved. Not teleported. Not phased. Simply moved, and his hand was already through the Patriarch's chest, grasping the crystallized essence of his cultivation.
"You relied on external power. Refinement. Treasures. I only cultivated myself." Mao Kang crushed the essence. The Patriarch's scream lasted exactly three seconds before silence returned.
The remaining entities hesitated. In that moment of doubt, Mao Kang struck again.
The Sovereign of Ten Thousand Laws raised both hands, weaving defensive formations that had protected her for twelve epochs.
Each formation could repel the concentrated assault of a hundred Supreme beings. She had thirty-three layers active simultaneously.
Mao Kang's palm strike passed through them like they were mist. Her chest caved inward, ribs shattering into fragments that dissolved before they could fall. She tried to speak, blood filling her mouth, but he had already moved on.
Three more fell in the span of a heartbeat. Then seventeen. Then hundreds.
The Divine Chains Archon, knowing he couldn't win through power, attempted to bargain. "Wait! Mao Kang, we can share the pinnacle! There's no need for—"
"There is only room for one at the top." Mao Kang's fist emerged from the Archon's back, still clutching his spine.
The massacre continued for what might have been hours or centuries—time held no meaning in this place. Bodies piled upon bodies, essence dissolving into the void, grand techniques snuffed out mid-casting.
A few tried to flee. None succeeded.
The Primordial Void Sovereign Supreme Monarch God Of All Empires And Realms watched his entire court, his entire army, reduced to nothing. He alone remained, floating in an ocean of his fallen peers.
"You've destroyed everything," he whispered, voice hollow. "The balance that held reality together for infinite ages. And for what? Pride?"
"No." Mao Kang walked toward him through the corpse-strewn void, his steps producing no sound. "Freedom."
The Sovereign unleashed everything he had. Every technique mastered over eons. Every treasure hoarded. Every secret art learned. The void itself warped and buckled under the assault.
When it ended, Mao Kang stood exactly where he had been, hand extended. In his palm, he held the Sovereign's still-beating heart.
"You… did all of this… with pure cultivation alone…" the Sovereign gasped, limbs beginning to dissolve into motes of light.
"I told you I would take the heavens." Mao Kang's grip tightened. "Now there are no heavens left to take."
"Cough!… Mao… Kang… You Demon!…How dare you!… Cough! You destroyed the Primordial Dao of the Heavenly Supreme Court! The karmic balance no longer exists, you have doomed everything! In your miserable existence, you shall never know peace! A despicable loner like you deserve to be cursed with love! That is your Fate! Born a slave! You will die as such!" A young looking man with an arm right through his chest, no limbs left, a half-destroyed head spoke as he slowly turned into dust.
That arm was the arm of a dark-skinned young man with long wild white hair, colorful eyes that seemed to be a different color from every angle, and dressed in purple and black robes, who was Mao Kang.
Standing in the middle of a massacre, a genocide, as every one of the 999,999,999 googleplex of Primordial Supreme realm entities, the Primordial Dao of the Heavenly Supreme Court included had waged war on this young man who claimed he could take the heavens.
In the end, they all died to him alone.
Uncountable numbers of bodies everywhere, and his last victim? The Primordial Void Sovereign Supreme Monarch God Of All Empires And Realms, himself.
Blood, grime, bones, and all the in-betweens found all over the place, Mao Kang himself didn't have a single drop on him, an impossibility, however, he had done it anyway.
"Hahahaha! You say that because you lost! All that training and refining all that other stuff, for what?! In the end, pure cultivation transcends all!" Mao Kang laughed unbothered by the curse talk from a dead man.
"You laugh now, but my words still hold the Primordial Dao that is left… You will pay. In the end, you only focused on pure cultivation, cause you are a talentless fool in every other profession. A mere frog in a well, who got lucky, but you will see Mount Tai soon… Courting death will be your last act! Hahaha! Cough!… Hahaha!… Good luck! Slave b-!" The last victim laughed before getting taken out like everyone else.
(He had such a long title, reminds me of the stories I used to read and watch back on earth, but that was eons ago. I'm Mao Kang now.) He shook his head as memories flooded him before they were shoved into the back again.
There was an odd silence in the infinite void of the Primordial realm, now closer to its original state of emptiness, yet paradoxically never less in its natural state than now.
"I can finally finish my path of cultivation and ascend the last barrier, and finally achieve the pinnacle." He walked to the now empty throne, covered in blood stains.
Taking the meditation position, he took a deep breath, and focused to take the last step on his eons long journey of cultivation.
There was more, the end.
Cracks formed all throughout the void, as reality trembled in fear of what was to come, a being to finally transcend all its limitations, and become the true pinnacle of everything.
It wasn't long before the grand break happened and like a big bang, exploded everything into both a state of existence and non-existence.
There were no more concepts, no more duality, no more Dao, not even balance, it was beyond.
Mao Kang, had taken his space as the True Supreme Being with no equal, or so he thought.
Unfortunately for him, this was only true in his verse.
[Congratulations, Entity! There are only a lesser infinity of beings to have ever achieved a similar state. You are now eligible to reach the true pinnacle of all pinnacles, not merely in your verse, but in the whole Omniverse's Totality, all realities, all fictions, and everything in between. The True Ending Point where all things stop. Would you like to participate in the trial or remain a 'frog in a well'?]
A floating screen appeared before him the very moment he did it. Its feminine voice echoed in his mind.
(A system? Governs absolutely everything? I could will this position?… Of course! I will! Who do you take me for?! I'm Mao Kang! The Chaos within! I will not exist as lesser than anyone else forever! As long as I exist! I will reach the pinnacle! Never again will I be a slave! I will become absolute power, freedom, and skill for myself! I am my own God!) Mao Kang narrowed his eyes, his mind reeling as more memories came, not of his first life on earth, but instead memories of this second life as a cultivator.
Born a slave, forced to watch everything crumble around him time and time again, not years, not decades, but centuries, long after he had started his path of cultivation he was not free. In time however, he broke from that bond, and began rising to the top, no system or any other golden finger, merely talent, and pure dedication.
However such painful thoughts of the long past, were not meant for the present.
"Who do you take me for? I would take this challenge even if it killed me instantly 100% of any chance given." Mao Kang smiled, he did not care for the danger or such possibilities, he knew them well, but in the face of his true goals, no danger is too great.
[You are truly an insane entity. Allow me to inform you, the trial will be to live through a life in each verse you are sent into to, and in every one, you will have 4 mandatory main goals: get the verse core of that world, become the most powerful, conquer the world, and have at least all the fated female entities.] The feminine voice almost sounded surprised, though it was hard to say if it was real.
(So, it wants me to reborn in different verses, then in each one of them, I have to get whatever a verse core is, become to top dog, conquer it, and build a damn harem? I used to love those kinds of stories in my first life, but in my second life was too busy getting stronger and fighting for my life for that… Still a virgin after so long… I stopped thinking about that…) Mao Kang shook his head thinking about it.
"What's a verse core? And Fated female? What does that mean?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.
[It's quite simply, Entity. A verse core could be seen as the soul of the world, it only appears when the story is properly finished. Fated Females, are female entities from those worlds who form powerful connections with you.] The feminine voice sounded smug as it replied.
"Are you looking down on me? If that's the case I'll remember you for later… I'll call you Mera, so I don't forget. Which world will I be sent to? Will I be given anything?" Mao Kang crossed his arms.
[Entity, know your place. I will not be named by a crazy ragged lesser being. As for the world, it will be a tier 1 world, they only go up to level 100. Oh, yes, you will be given an integration system to properly keep tabs on your progress. As per the standard reward beings who have reached your before being selected to 'Project Everything', it is the main branch and founder of various such sub-projects like 'Project Fiction'. So you gain two abilities of Author level. However they will start at the lowest possible power, and be grow to their full power.] Mera responded seemingly offended at the new name.
(Know my place?!… Fair enough, I have tried all my current abilities to try and interfere or even interact with her stealthily, none of them did a thing. That bastard was right, I'm a big fish in a small pond! I hate that like he said, I'm seeing Mount Tai!) He found his left eye twitching due to this.
"I don't know anything about author level, but sounds broken If it is what I think it is, but don't people typically get 3 abilities? Also, what are my 2 abilities?" Mao Kang leaned his head to the side as he asked.
[Author level is the 3rd highest order of power in all of the Omniverse, right above Reality Warping Level 4th, and only behind Nigh-Omnipotent Level in 2nd, and True Omnipotent Level in 1st. Anyway, the abilities individuals gain in your typical story are Reality Warping level at best, and in most cases lower. As such they get 3 or more abilities or wishes. You do not have such luxuries.] Mera responded with another bout of smugness.
"… Undertood, so what are my abilities?" Mao Kang had long concluded it was pointless to try and fight it, so he just nodded.
[The first ability is based on your own verse, a cultivation technique you can use in any verse: Totality Harem Ruler Technique- The Totality Harem Ruler Technique is an unparalleled dual cultivation technique. It transcends traditional cultivation paradigms by integrating multiple existential layers into a unified path toward absolute dominion. While it can be practiced solo through meditation, visualization, and energy circulation (yielding standard progression speeds comparable to elite heavenly techniques), its true might shines in dual cultivation—intimate unions with partners that accelerate growth exponentially, often multiplying cultivation speed by factors of 10x to 100x depending on the partner's compatibility, realm, and affinity.
Key Features:
• Dual Cultivation Supremacy: During union, the technique harmonizes the energies of both parties, amplifying their power mutually. The user gains permanent copies of the partner's innate talents, bloodlines, affinities, skills, and unique perks (e.g., a partner's fire elemental mastery becomes yours without diminishing theirs). This copying is flawless and additive, stacking infinitely without conflict. Partners receive a reciprocal boost: enhanced vitality, realm breakthroughs, and a fragment of the user's totality essence, binding them loyally while elevating their potential.
• Harem Ruler Aspect: The technique thrives on multiple partners, forming a "harem network" where collective energies feed back into the user. Each partner acts as a node, allowing remote energy sharing, telepathic links, and shared perceptual fields. Over time, this creates a self-sustaining empire of cultivators, with the user as the unchallenged ruler—immune to betrayals through soul-bound oaths embedded in the technique.
• Overpowered Mechanics: No bottlenecks or heavenly tribulations hinder progress; instead, they become fuel for breakthroughs. The technique auto-adapts to any realm or energy type, devouring ambient forces (qi, mana, etc.) passively. Users gain omni-resistance, rapid regeneration, and conceptual immortality early on, escalating to reality-warping at higher stages.
• Core System: The technique unlocks and cultivates 12 cores (expanded from the initial 10 for ultimate totality), each representing a deeper existential layer. Cores build sequentially, with each empowering the previous ones. Cultivation involves gathering, refining, and condensing specific energies into these cores, often visualized as radiant orbs or realms within the body. Dual cultivation targets the 5th core (genitalia) as a nexus, channeling partner energies to flood all cores simultaneously for massive gains.
Progression Stages and Cores
The path divides into Mortal Entity (Cores 1-6: Foundational Ascension) and Celestial Entity (Cores 7-12: Transcendent Dominion). Each core has realms (e.g., Foundation, Core Formation, Nascent Soul equivalents, but customized and vastly superior). Advancement requires energy accumulation, insight, and dual practice for optimal speed.
Mortal Entity Stages (Building the Vessel)
These focus on refining the self from physical to metaphysical, creating an indestructible foundation.
1 Physical Entity - Body Cultivation (1st Core: Heart)
◦ Description: The outermost layer, harnessing Chi for material interaction. This core forms a pulsating heart-orb that processes physical laws, granting superhuman strength, endurance, and sensory acuity.
◦ Perks: Infinite stamina, body refinement to diamond-hardness, manipulation of gravity/force. Dual cultivation infuses partner's physical traits (e.g., copying a dragon's scales).
◦ Cultivation Method: Circulate Chi through meridians, tempered by physical trials or intimate energy exchange. Normal speed: Years per realm. Dual: Months or days.]
(Unbelievable… It has its own cultivation system… and it integrates the normal cultivation system into itself? Amazing… This is unlike anything I have seen before in my second life. This might be more worth it than I thought. I can't wait until I unlock the information on further cores. Even if I was not a dual cultivator, I see the value in this, and it's not like I'm being forced to be one, if I'm patient I can do it either way.) Mao Kang nodded thinking to himself.
"Great! Please show me the second one. I wonder what it is." He smiled in anticipation.
[Yes, the second ability is one based on the first verse you'll be reborn into: An Innate Cursed Technique.
Innate Cursed Technique: Sex-Lust-Harem Style: Supreme Ultimate Cursed Penis
The Core Concept: A technique that weaponizes attraction, intimacy, and union through Cursed Energy, treating the user's body—specifically their sexual organs—as the ultimate Cursed Tool and conduit.
Physical Manifestation: The user's body becomes the perfect specimen, with their genitalia serving as the technique's core—incredibly powerful but also its fatal weakness if destroyed.
Cursed Energy Effect (Negative): "Cursed Ejaculation: Infatuation Cascade" - Expels concentrated CE that overwhelms targets with forced lust and euphoria, stunning them and compromising their will.
Reversed Cursed Technique (Positive): "Blissful Restoration: Cathartic Union" - Intercourse with partners triggers massive healing and CE replenishment (once per day per partner). The technique also:
• Enables dual cultivation that enhances both parties
• Grants a harem-wide buff based on relationship quality (base multiplier of 1/1 trillion per member, increased by relationship tier)
• Copies partner's Innate Techniques and abilities through deep connection
Domain Expansion: "The True Harem: Chamber of Absolute Bliss" - Forces absolute pleasure and willing submission on all targets within, making them cease resistance without causing physical harm.]
(First what's with the absurd name?! And second… I accepted the first one, but the second one too?! Isn't this too much?!… No! They complement each other and push me towards both power and harem, two of the main quests, this isn't a random move, it's planned.) Mao Kang smirked as he realized.
"Hahaha, ok, you got me. So the world will be JJK? It's similar enough to a cultivation world to not feel off, but modern enough to get into the headspace for future worlds, it's been a while. Anything else?" He sighed in relief as he questioned.
[No. Good luck with your trial. The integration system will awaken once you are fully reborn.] Mera's words hit with an odd sweetness before, he who stood before her faded away.
(Good luck? Being nice all of a sudden?… What's her game here? This gives me chills, and that's never good, never.) Mao Kang's eyes widened at this.
The world that never was cracked into a million pieces before eating itself in a mere pop, and in the middle of that, he was swallowed away, as the rebirth cycle began, starting a journey unlike any other.
