Closing his eyes, Huang Yifan held his phone, switched to voice mode, and began to sing.
"In the vast world, the very first flower blooms
How many people will remember it
White moonlight, silver hair
Unintentionally giving rise to attachments
Who will share this chapter of clashing steel and warhorses
Who can truly predict who will rise and fall
Only gazing from the peak over all beneath heaven
Who cares for the tides that wash the sands"
This song was originally the theme song for the mobile game 'The Great Ruler' from Huang Yifan's previous life, composed by the Chinese-style music group Mo Ming Qi Miao.
Although 'The Great Ruler' never reached the heights of 'Battle Through the Heavens', the song itself carried a unique charm. It blended a strong Chinese aesthetic with a vast, boundless atmosphere. Just like the lyrics, the moment Huang Yifan began singing, the White Jade Hall fans were once again stunned.
"This song…"
"It feels incredible."
"It has such a grand, overwhelming aura."
"'The first flower blooms in the vast world'… damn, that line hits hard."
"I thought Whitey just casually wrote a song, but this is amazing."
"No, the best part hasn't even come yet. He's not finished."
"Everyone, close your eyes… we're about to witness something legendary."
The lyrics and melody were equally majestic. Even if the song hadn't been hugely popular in his previous life, it painted a vivid and magnificent fantasy world. For fans of the genre, it was more powerful than any mainstream hit.
This was an era where countless races coexisted, where heroes fought for supremacy.
An era of war and ambition, where destinies were decided.
His heart surging, Huang Yifan felt his blood boil as he continued singing.
"Breaking the frost and snow of the northern lands, I gift you a song
Under the heavens, endless flames ignite
Weakness is a fault; falling in love is also a fault
Why bother explaining or changing for anyone
No matter the hardships, no matter the obstacles ahead
I'll break through them all for you, step by step
Planting with my own hands the fruits of good and evil, rare as they are."
As he sang, he became immersed in the world behind the song.
At this moment, Huang Yifan had already stepped into the vast world he created.
Here, there were supreme masters whose sword energy spanned thirty thousand miles, whose single strike could chill ninety provinces.
Here, some nameless swordsmen killed in ten steps, leaving no trace across a thousand miles.
Here, some defiant tyrants declared, "My fate is mine, not heaven's. If heaven destroys me, I will destroy heaven."
And here
Gods ruled over the great thousand worlds.
"Gods rule over the vast realms
How many have already vanished from my heart
Where lies the path to transcendence
Through storms and chaos, I'm glad to have you beside me
Love itself is a divine weapon
Who can resist it
Let go or hold on, even when spiritual power fades
In this world of blazing lights and endless beauty
Only you and I remain."
When the song ended, the entire chat fell silent.
Everyone was stunned.
After a long while, someone finally asked softly:
"Whitey… what's the name of this song?"
"'Ruling the World.'"
After finishing the song, Huang Yifan uploaded ten new chapters of 'Sword Breaks the Heavens' in one go.
He desperately wanted to share this world he had created.
He wanted everyone to see it
A world beyond imagination.
A world spanning trillions upon trillions of miles, with countless lives, endless geniuses, myths, and miracles.
And the protagonist would lead them all to witness its legends.
…
If 'Sword Breaks the Heavens' first captured attention with the line "Do not bully the poor youth," then what followed completely ignited readers' passion.
"Holy shit, outer sect, inner sect, core disciples… I never knew sect hierarchies could be structured like this."
"Three years to forge one sword, one strike shakes the heavens. What even is 'Sword Intent'? Is it like some kind of laser weapon or energy beam that pierces both body and soul?"
"Hah, Sword Intent is nothing. The will of the War God is the real deal. That mountain he cut in half still carries his will even after five hundred years!"
"Just wait. Sword Intent will eventually become nothing. The real power is the projection of a King's Will like a scanner that spans the cosmos, manifesting before you and crushing everything with a single decree!"
"And don't forget the dungeon system. All disciples entering the same map, fighting bosses, it's like a game!"
"That's right! White Boss created instance dungeons in a novel. Genius!"
"The map of the Great Thousand World is the real masterpiece. Beyond nations, there are regions. Beyond regions, clusters. Then states, continents, supercontinents… It completely redefines scale."
"And even that isn't the end. The so-called central continent is just a tiny part of the greater world."
"This is insane."
"This is what true fantasy looks like."
"Compared to this, everything else feels like child's play."
One setting after another captivated readers.
One plot after another drove them wild.
One world after another left them in awe.
With Nirvana's rebirth
The Number One White Under Heaven had returned in perfect form.
His past failure was merely a mortal trial.
Now, having transcended it, he stepped into the boundless, glorious Great Thousand World.
A world where gods ruled.
A world where gods battled one another.
And who were these gods?
As answered by his own song:
"Gods rule over the vast realms."
God
Was The Number One White Under Heaven.
And The Number One White Under Heaven
Was God.
