Outside world.
After the Three Eternal Supremes pulled away all the Life planets of the Universe to create a new Realm, the silent cosmos became even more barren, and the already quiet starry skies turned colder and emptier than before, as if a vast portion of life itself had been quietly erased from existence.
Of course there were still some planets left behind, those that contained no mana or where the inhabitants were nothing more than ordinary mortal species with no future potential for growth.
However, such planets mostly existed inside the dead zones or the void zones of the universe, places where mana or any form of usable energy simply did not exist at all, making cultivation or evolution impossible.
Yet even within that vast emptiness, in a certain distant region of the starry sky, there floated a barren planet surrounded by thousands of asteroids slowly circling within the pull of its gravity.
The planet itself was far from calm.
Violent turbulence of raw and unfiltered cosmic storms raged endlessly across its surface, accompanied by violent lightning storms, endless rain, acidic clouds, erupting volcanoes and countless other natural disasters that constantly reshaped the barren landscape.
However, such chaotic conditions were completely normal for a lifeless planet where no form of life had ever stabilized the environment.
There was nothing unusual about it.
But if one looked carefully at the vast asteroid field surrounding the planet, one of those drifting rocks appeared slightly different from the rest.
Its shape resembled that of a mummified Buddhist monk sitting in the lotus position, as if someone had carved the posture directly into the stone. The surface of that asteroid was also strangely mysterious, because it was pitch black in color while tiny white specks were scattered across it like distant stars shining inside deep darkness.
Yet even if someone noticed the strange appearance, they would most likely ignore it.
Because the rock carried no presence at all.
It felt completely lifeless, as if it were nothing more than an ordinary piece of drifting space debris.
But then suddenly, a faint cracking sound echoed through the silent void.
A thin vertical crack slowly appeared across the surface of that strange rock, quietly spreading along its body.
From within that crack, soft whitish and rainbow hued cosmic clouds began to escape, slowly drifting outward into the empty space around it.
At that moment, the entire universe seemed to fall into a deeper silence.
The moment that existence within the stone was revealed even the slightest, the entire Universe reacted on a level so deep that even fate and destiny of all beings stalled for a single moment.
For endless ages the Universe had maintained perfect order through a grand structure that governed every life form within its domain.
Every being that was born carried an imprint that connected them to the greater whole.
Space acknowledged them as occupants of its endless expanse, time recorded the flow of their existence, fate wove threads that bound their lives into the greater tapestry, destiny shaped the possible futures they could walk, and karma silently judged the weight of their actions.
Even gods, primordial void entities, and conceptual beings that transcended ordinary life were still recorded within that vast framework.
They were part of the system that defined existence.
But now something had appeared that carried none of those marks.
At the deepest layer of reality, the Universe itself attempted to identify the presence that had just entered its domain.
Yet the search returned nothing.
It was as if a being had stepped into existence from outside the story that reality itself was telling. There was no records of such being at all.
And with the existence not connected to the universe, the universe can’t even see the powers and hidden details of the person.
Unable to categorize the anomaly, the Universe instinctively attempted to correct the imbalance, and the first to react was the endless network of Fate that stretched across the entire cosmos.
The threads of fate that connected all living beings trembled as they attempted to locate the new existence that had appeared.
Every life carried threads that extended through the tapestry of reality, binding them to countless other lives and shaping the path their future might follow.
Those threads could be seen, manipulated, or severed by those who possessed the ability to perceive them.
Yet when Fate attempted to locate the thread belonging to the new existence, it found nothing.
The tapestry contained no such thread.
Destiny reacted next.
The immense river of destiny that flowed through the entire cosmos attempted to observe the anomaly in order to determine what role it would play within the unfolding future of the Universe.
Destiny was not a rigid script but a vast collection of possibilities branching endlessly as choices were made by countless beings.
However, when the river attempted to extend its vision toward the new existence, something unprecedented occurred.
There was no future to observe.
No branch of possibility.
No path that could be traced forward.
The existence that had just been born did not stand within the river of destiny at all. It existed completely outside the current that carried every other life through the endless unfolding of time.
Karma also stirred as the invisible balance that recorded every cause and consequence throughout the Universe attempted to acknowledge the birth of a new life.
Ordinarily every being generated karmic traces the moment they came into existence, creating an invisible ledger that recorded the influence of their actions upon the world.
After all, just by being born you hurt your mother, even unintentionally but that is also karma.
Yet when Karma attempted to mark this birth, there was nothing to record.
There was no merit.
There was no sin.
For the first time since the creation of the cosmos, the mechanisms governing fate, destiny, and karma encountered a life that did not belong to their domain.
The reaction spread further into the structure of reality itself.
The vast Universal System that had been established by the Three Eternal Supremes suddenly experienced a disturbance deep within its foundational framework as it was connected with the universe too.
The system had been designed to observe, register, and nurture every life form that emerged within the New formed realm, excluding the Abyssal and Heavenly races, granting opportunities and guiding development so that civilizations across the new realm could grow stronger over time.
Yet at this very moment the system encountered something that even the Universe could not process
A life had appeared that carried no recognizable existence signature.
The system executed scan after scan across the entire Universe, attempting to locate the source of the disturbance and assign an identity to the existence that had triggered it.
Every scan returned the same result.
No such life existed within the recognized framework of reality.
Yet the disturbance spreading through the deeper layers of existence continued to expand like invisible ripples across an endless ocean.
The Universe could not identify it.
Fate could not bind it.
Destiny could not predict it.
Karma could not judge it.
For the first time in uncountable ages, an existence had escaped the threads that governed all life.
Far beyond ordinary space, within a domain that existed at a level of reality higher than most beings could even comprehend, the Transcendent Eternal Supreme slowly turned his attention toward the Starry sky.
His perception did not rely on energy or aura. Instead he perceived the movements of the fundamental principles that governed existence itself. At this moment those principles had shifted slightly, as if a new variable had been introduced into the equation that maintained cosmic balance.
The Transcendent Eternal Supreme observed the fluctuations moving through fate, destiny, and karma, following the disturbance as it spread across the great framework of reality.
Yet even after observing the ripples for a long time, the origin remained invisible.
The ripple clearly existed that was growing like a rolling snow ball.
But the source could not be found.
"So fate has lost a thread."
"No... it is not lost."
"It simply does not exist....hahaha....what the hell has been born in the universe? Is the the effect of forcefully creating a realm?"
In the endless abyss where darkness devoured even the light of dying galaxies, the Abyssal Eternal Supreme also sensed the disturbance as the currents of the void shifted faintly in response to the anomaly that had appeared somewhere within the lower Universe.
His awareness expanded across the star filled cosmos as they attempted to locate the existence responsible for the change.
"Interesting..."
"A presence that carries no fate, no destiny, and no karmic imprint."
The Eternal Supreme searched again, yet even after scanning the entire cosmos it found nothing.
"Hmm."
"It exists... yet it does not belong."
Elsewhere within the radiant realms where the fundamental laws of light manifested as living manifestations, the Heavenly Eternal Supreme paused as the harmony of cosmic order wavered.
The Heavenly Eternal Supreme attempted to trace the disturbance through the structure of reality, yet just like fate and destiny before them, they found nothing that could explain the anomaly.
"A life outside the framework of existence..."
"Such a thing should not be possible."
The Heavenly Eternal Supreme observed the flow of destiny once more, yet the anomaly remained invisible.
"It has escaped the threads. Just like what happened years ago when fate suffered a damage. Is it related to that incident..? Looks like I need to personally investigate it this time, with all the races being gathered at the new realm, it will make the task easier."
The Universe had sensed the change.
Its greatest rulers had sensed the change.
Yet none of them could see the existence that had caused it.
Across the new realm ancient cultivators of Myriad races suddenly felt a strange unease in their hearts, as if their fates and destiny had shifted slightly beyond their comprehension.
Divine beasts that had slumbered for millions of years stirred restlessly within the depths of stars, while ancient dragons drifting through cosmic skies raised their massive heads as though sensing a distant storm that had not yet arrived.
None of them understood what had happened.
Yet somewhere within the vast silent void, hidden among countless drifting asteroids around a chaotic barren planet, the crack across that strange black rock continued to widen slowly.
The rainbow hued cosmic clouds escaping from within grew thicker, swirling with faint lights that resembled fragments of the Universe itself.
And within that silent shell, the being whose mere appearance had caused fate, destiny, karma, and the structure of reality itself to tremble opened his eyes.
