Deep within the lowest strata of the White Bone Mountains, an absolute silence reigned, as if time itself had forgotten this desolate place.
Inside a dark stone cave, water droplets fell in a steady rhythm, breaking the stillness of the abyss.
Faint, ancient carvings on the cave walls bore witness to battles and cultivators long swallowed by oblivion.
Amidst this suffocating atmosphere, a young man lay motionless on a cold stone slab, as if his soul had departed his body ages ago.
Suddenly, the surrounding air vibrated violently.
It was not a tremor born of ordinary spiritual energy, but a slight spatial distortion, as if the very fabric of the cosmos groaned under the weight of this entity’s presence.
The young man slowly opened his eyes.
Crimson, blood-red flashes erupted in the gloom of the cave, as though cosmic nebulas were burning within his pupils.
His pristine white hair, cascading down his shoulders like threads of pure silver, fluttered without wind, surrounded by an enigmatic aura that blended a terrifyingly divine beauty with an ancient, otherworldly detachment.
This was no ordinary cultivator waking from a faint; this was Dark, one who had crossed the boundaries of dimensions and worlds, carrying the memories of an ancient realm in his mind and an unyielding resolve in his soul to reshape the laws of this existence entirely.
Scarcely had he sat up when the depths of his sea of consciousness trembled, and deep, cosmic notes echoed in his mind, signaling the activation of a power beyond the comprehension of this entire world:
[ Absolute Link System activated successfully…
]
[ System Host: Dark ]
[ Sovereign Immunity Status: Completely immune to spiritual attacks, mind-implantation, mind-reading, and mental influences.
]
[ Armor of Destiny: Past and future are completely shrouded.
Destiny is incapable of detecting your existence; you are the “Absolute Intruder,” negating the effects of heavenly laws.
]
[ Eternal Replication Feature: Activated (Ability to copy techniques, bloodlines, divine physiques, and resources from any entity you touch or encounter).
]
[ Absolute Comprehension Feature: Activated (The ability to invent and merge your own unique techniques to surpass cultivation levels).
]
Dark felt a torrential flood of knowledge and information wash over his mind.
He had no need to read sect manuals or train through conventional methods; his mind possessed an exceptional comprehension that allowed him to dissect any technique, identify its flaws, and forge enhanced versions that outperformed them manifold.
More importantly, there was that technique he had crafted with his own consciousness, far from the gaze of the heavenly laws: “The Crushing Divine Elephant Technique.”
Dark closed his eyes slightly, sensing what stirred within his body.
This technique did not rely on the conventional cultivation level system of this lower world; instead, it relied on unlocking 840 million dormant cells and particles within the human physical structure, with each cell generating the force of a divine elephant capable of shattering stars and crushing hells.
True, this demanded astronomical resources beyond imagination, and his linking system could not multiply the resources for this technique because it grew purely by the number of physical cells, but the result was terrifying: absolute combat prowess far surpassing his current level, allowing him to fight opponents outclassing him by entire realms.
A luxurious screen adorned with gilded arches and shimmering lines appeared before him:
========================================
[ Sovereign Status Window ]
• Name: Dark
• Identity: Hyper-Universal Intruder / Dimensional Traveler
• Standard Training Level: [Foundation Establishment Stage – Level 1]

[ Family & Wives Hall ]

Dark smiled coldly, a cynical smirk reflecting his mockery of destiny itself.
He knew this story inside and out; he knew every detail of this world he had descended into, the names of the protagonists carrying the favor of the heavens, the arrogant antagonists destined to become food for dogs, and most importantly…
the maidens with divine bodies and unique bloodlines who would play central roles in the events.
He would not settle for mere survival or ascension like ordinary mortals; he would build a deeply rooted family, gather the strongest women around him, and make every protagonist in the story toil and sweat to ultimately feed his exponential growth through the hundredfold multiplier.
“Destiny thinks it can guide my steps?” Touching his white hair grazing his shoulders, Dark stood to his full height, feeling the entire cave tremble beneath his feet merely from his posture.
“Let this world wait and see how the favored sons of fortune become nothing more than my laborers.”
At that moment, the sound of spiritual horse hooves and human footsteps echoed from outside the cave, shattering the silence.
A group of youths wearing local sect attire were advancing in a frantic search deep within these mountains.
Dark paused for a moment, his crimson eyes gleaming with investigative brilliance.
The actual events had begun earlier than expected, and the first prey for his linking network was within arm’s reach.
