Chu Hao arrived at a newly selected plane, one specifically chosen for his modification experiments.
Unlike before, this time he was about to conduct a new experiment.
His goal: to create a special plane.
One that could serve as a "super barracks," providing vast numbers of soldiers for the Endless Abyss.
---
"Alright…"
"First, modify the basic attributes of this plane. I need it to be capable of cultivating large numbers of demons, so it must have sufficient nutrients to sustain them."
Chu Hao closed his eyes and reopened them. His pupils had turned into black-red spirals.
Countless pieces of information about the Abyss appeared in his vision.
The entire plane, no, the entire Endless Abyss, was under his command, and all changes were reflected in his sight.
"Layers 6, 24, and 57, allocate half their resources to this plane immediately!"
With Chu Hao's authority as the Will of the Abyss, vast amounts of resources from those layers were transferred here through warped rules of the Abyss via spatial channels.
The resources poured in like a tidal wave, instantly reshaping the plane's foundation.
Towering mountains were destroyed.
Bottomless oceans dried up.
Deep valleys and ravines were filled.
The plane's area expanded more than tenfold, becoming the largest plane in the Endless Abyss—all due to Chu Hao's command.
---
"Next: corruption."
He turned to the near-flat plane before him.
"Transform the soil into corrupted humus."
He continued.
"Then, saturate this humus with nutrient-rich substances."
Immediately, dark clouds appeared in the sky above.
Lightning, storms, and torrential rain swept across the plane.
Under these violent conditions, matter transformed rapidly, reshaping according to Chu Hao's design.
He accelerated the plane's time flow, completing the transformation from barren wasteland into a vast, slime-covered, nutrient-rich ecosystem.
The slime across the plane was filled with nutrients sufficient to sustain colossal creatures like leviathans.
---
"Now, the rules."
Chu Hao inhaled deeply and floated into the air.
"First, the Soul Fragment Attraction Rule."
"This plane will attract the weakest, most inferior soul fragments, those with the least potential and the lowest qualities."
At the center of the plane, a massive black-red vortex slowly formed.
"Each soul fragment here will be used to produce the ordinary demons I designed. Their souls will be nourished here, sinking further into the Abyss."
The vortex expanded, encompassing the entire plane, drawing in soul fragments from across the Abyss.
This was the final destination for the weakest souls, but here they would receive higher "treatment."
---
"Next: spatial rules."
Chu Hao looked across the Endless Abyss.
"This plane exists and can be located, but no being other than myself may enter from outside."
"All spatial entrances are sealed except one—the entrance from the very bottom of the Endless Abyss. Only with my approval may any being enter."
"However, all demons born inside will be randomly expelled through spatial exits into different regions of the Abyss."
The spatial rules were now complete. Only Chu Hao could enter.
No rogue creature could invade and slaughter the ordinary demons without consequence.
---
Satisfied, Chu Hao moved on to the next step: determining the types of demons to be born in this plane.
He waved his hand, and hundreds of primordial demons arrived through a spatial portal.
"Boom! Boom!"
But immediately, Chu Hao raised his hand again.
The primordial demons exploded into droplets of blood, none touching the ground.
They hovered around him as he manipulated them according to his predesigned genetic formulas.
After a long while, hundreds of blood droplets, each a different color, floated around him.
Each droplet contained the genetic blueprint of a demon prototype.
He hurled the droplets into the black-red vortex, where they were absorbed.
---
With a snap of his fingers, the plane came alive.
The vortex began its eternal operation, nourishing the soul fragments and merging them with the demon prototypes.
Then…
Cocoons.
Countless red and black demon cocoons appeared across the plane, symbols of chaos and malevolence.
More cocoons continued to form as new soul fragments were drawn into the vortex.
---
This special plane had earned its name. Many called it:
"The Source of Chaos"
"The Engine of Abyssal War"
"The Origin of Demons"
But the most fitting, terrifying, and resonant name was:
The Abyssal Hatchery.
