King Haiten looked at Evan Yang and smiled. "I mean that once my clan's matters are settled, I can give you this artifact if you want. It's yours."
"How could that be?" Evan Yang said in surprise.
"There's nothing wrong with it," King Haiten said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it later. If I really need it, I'll just borrow it for a while," Evan Yang replied with a smile.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'm counting on you," King Haiten said.
Evan Yang nodded. So, every time the Source Surge came, he took out the Chaos Power-Gathering Flask and, following King Haiten's instructions, placed the flask in his hand. When he couldn't move, the flask would continuously absorb the Source Surge.
The Gods near the outer entrance all felt something was off—why had the Source Surge energy suddenly dropped this time? But they figured it must be some special reason, and assumed it would return to normal in a few days, so they didn't pay much attention.
Just like that, after more than half a month, Evan Yang had absorbed a huge amount of Source Surge. When King Haiten saw that it was about enough, he smiled and said, "Thank you. It's time I head back."
"Where to?" Evan Yang asked.
"Leaving this place. Back to the Chaos World, to help my clan," King Haiten replied.
"But there are so many Gods outside. It's better to wait until we figure out a way to leave safely," Evan Yang said after thinking it over.
"Time is tight—I can't delay any longer. You all can keep cultivating here, but I'll look for a chance to leave. I don't believe, now that I'm back at my peak, those guys can catch me," King Haiten said.
"If you're determined to go, I won't stop you. Just be careful," Evan Yang said.
"Alright, here, take this." King Haiten handed Evan Yang a short flute and explained, "This is a unique summoning tool for my clan. As long as you blow it, even in the farthest reaches of the Chaos World, I can sense you."
Hearing this, Evan Yang was shocked. "This thing is seriously impressive."
"Of course. It's yours now. Goodbye." King Haiten said, eager to leave. Evan Yang nodded and saw him off, then decided to stay here since Lynn Lin and the others still needed to keep cultivating.
King Haiten left along the route Evan Yang gave him, bursting out of the Immortal-Fate Grotto. Naturally, the others noticed him immediately—those five rushed out, but found he was already gone.
"Damn, how did he get so fast?" one of them exclaimed in shock.
The others were also stunned. It seemed unbelievable, but soon someone said suspiciously, "Could something have happened to him?"
When they heard that, everyone was shocked. Could it be that the person who went in with Evan Yang really got into trouble? Otherwise, why would King Haiten be able to leave? Besides, that person wasn't a match for King Haiten anyway.
Right now, the five felt powerless. They had wanted to capture King Haiten, but he escaped again.
Faced with this outcome, they couldn't do anything. He was gone—where could they even chase him? So, they returned to the Immortal-Fate Grotto to keep cultivating, while Evan Yang and the others stayed in the deepest part.
Time passed bit by bit. After several decades, Evan Yang was almost unafraid of the Source Surge, and his strength had reached peak Immortal Sovereign—just a step from the summit. Now, even during the Source Surge, he could move freely. That was his greatest gain.
Even Lynn Lin broke through to the Immortal Sovereign realm. Evan Yang hadn't expected this, but now he understood why people here were so strong—this grotto gave them the perfect place to cultivate.
But what shocked Evan Yang most was Melody Wood and Ember Yang. Now, Ember Yang looked like a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl—more mature than before, a real beauty, though her temper was still fiery.
After absorbing divine power and cultivating here, Melody Wood's strength had reached peak Immortal Sovereign. But compared to Evan Yang, she was still far behind. Now Evan Yang believed he could finally contend with Gods.
Seeing these results, Evan Yang couldn't help but smile. He took out the Space Canon—the manual he'd once taken from that strange bird.
Evan Yang flipped through the Space Canon, which explained how someone below the God realm could create their own space. He realized it wasn't easy—making a complete space required many elements, but most people only had one or two attributes. So, they had to borrow the power of other Gods to add more colors to their space and balance things out.
"I've got all the attributes I need. Let's see if I can make a space." Evan Yang thought. He had earth, wood, water, fire, wind—all the natural elements. Creating a perfect space should be possible.
So, Evan Yang followed the Space Canon's instructions to create a space. At first it was small, able to hold a dozen people. Inside, he made earth, water, wind, fire, light, and other natural phenomena. Everything was set—except for living beings. Evan Yang tried adding his own insects, and it became a miniature insect world.
