Nyx's consciousness stirred, and he gasped for breath. Fragments of a dream swirled in his mind—a battle of realms collapsing. He witnessed powerhouses capable of destroying worlds with a mere flick of their fingers. Dragons, phoenixes, demons—they clashed and fell until the entire realm crumbled into a black hole.
As Nyx regained awareness, he pieced together his identity. He was Nyx Darkheart, the third child of King Metthew Darkheart, ruler of the Darknorth Kingdom. Their domain lay scattered across a group of islands on the northern side of the Central (Empyrean) continent in the Aurora World. Today, Nyx had been on a routine hunting expedition with his servants when an unexpected event unfolded.
A bright star streaked across the daylight sky, hurtling directly toward him. In an instant, a black ray enveloped him, and consciousness slipped away.
Now, standing in a luxurious room, Nyx studied his reflection in a wall mirror. Eighteen years old, pale-skinned, with pitch-black eyes and a sharp nose, he bore the typical racial features of the Darkheart family. They had ruled the Darknorth Kingdom for centuries, and Nyx's father, Metthew Darkheart, held the position of the fourth king—a formidable peak nascent soul warrior.
In the world of Aurora, where magic flowed, every human awakened an elemental power(spiritual root) at the age of Eighteen . Nyx's family lineage due to their unique bloodline always awakened the void element, this void element is extremely unique in itself it has all quality of space element but it is much more from space itself, those who have void element can have direct contact with greater void it's extremely difficult to fight against them.
The Darkheart family, feared despite having only one divine transformation realm Powerhouse , due to this unique Void element .
Nyx had recently awakened his family's element. He had intended to test his powers on some beasts during a hunting expedition three days ago, but the abrupt appearance of the meteor had left him unconscious.
Nyx's mind churned. The black meteor that struck him and the dream of collapsing realms weighed heavily on his thoughts. He began inspecting his body but found no changes. However, upon careful examination, he noticed a tiny swirling black hole, resembling a black crystal, in his naval region. It looked like the same black hole that formed after realm shattering. This stunned Nyx, and he began to carefully inspect the crystal. Suddenly, it began to swirl and distort space in the room. Nyx found himself in a new location—an island in the middle of a blood-red lake.
The sky above was dark with a neon blue hue, and in the center of the lake stood a towering tree that touched the sky itself only a small Part of the tree Visible, it was almost entirely withered except for a small part that remained green with hints of red and blue. The lake was surrounded by fog with blue and red hues, and within the fog, Nyx could vaguely make out towering structures that looked like beast-like creatures. The lake radiated a powerful aura, but being near the tree shielded Nyx from its effects.
"What is this? Where am I?" he muttered, his voice echoing in the eerie silence.
Suddenly, the blood lake began to churn, and countless blood tentacles emerged from its depths. Panicking, Nyx ran toward the tree, but the tree began to radiate a strong attraction force from its stem. Powerlessly, he was flung towards the tree and lost consciousness, merging mysteriously with the tree. After some time, the lake subsided, leaving only silence.
An unknown amount of time passed before the tree radiated a pitch-black light, and an ethereal fairy appeared out of nowhere. Clad in a pitch-black tight-fitting dress with gold leaf-like patterns, green eyes, and green hair with red and black hues, she exuded a sacred aura that demanded worship. She was the epitome of peak beauty, but any expert could tell she was full of death aura like a dying tree.
Gazing at the tree, a visible frown formed between her brows. "Why would the Void Realm choose a mortal from a backward realm without a hint of cultivation? Why did the realm core begin to merge with him? How can this be possible?" she mused. After inspecting for a while, she smiled. "So that was the reason. That boy has the bloodline of the Void Realm King, the Void Devouring King. Even if it's an infinitesimally small amount, the realm core can easily identify its own prime bloodline. That boy was very lucky. But how did the Void Devouring bloodline end up in this backward realm? Maybe after the war, some Void Devourer ended up here."
After contemplating for a while, she became serious. "As a dying realm tree of the Void Realm, I am obliged to the rebirth of the realm and will make it the most powerful realm again, even if it means sacrificing myself." She produced a dark crystal from nowhere and said, "This was the root of the war—the legendary Chaos Birthing Crystal. Sadly, it was destroyed in the war, and only this fragment remains."
She then produced a black heart swirling with black mist—the heart of the Void Devouring King—a red heart with a bloody mist swirling around it, the heart of the Blood Progenitor, a blue crystal with visible swirling soul essence, the soul crystal of the Soul Progenitor, and began to take out the hearts of all powerful figures that died in the war. The hearts of the primordial dragon ancestor, the primordial emperor phoenix, the mighty undying giants, the elven queen, the demons, cores of mighty cultivators, mana crystals of mages, and finally, the eye of the space-time ancestral mage.
After some time, she said, "It's good that the realm absorbed almost the entire essence of these powerhouses; otherwise, it would be impossible to merge this bloodline and essences. Due to the shattering of laws in the war, this realm is free from the restrictions of the universe."
"Now everything is in place. It's time to start the process." She went near the realm tree and began to infuse all materials into the tree, starting with the Chaos Birthing Crystal. "The realm tree and realm core as the structure, Chaos Birthing Crystal as the catalyst, with Void Devouring Heart's devouring power, soul crystal of the Soul Progenitor as the soul base, blood heart of the Blood Progenitor as the bloodline base—merge everything!" With that, the devour heart began its work with the support of the chaos crystal, devouring everything and infusing it into the realm tree with Nyx at its center.
Unknown to everyone, in the corner of the universe within a backward realm, an almost entirely destroyed realm core began a universe-changing process that would alter the entire power politics of the universe.
Seeing that everything was progressing as it should, the realm tree fairy began the last process. "Although it will give the boy limitless power, without tempering, he will be lost in it. It's already very difficult to control bloodline instincts. Even his new soul will be overwhelmed by this many bloodlines. What should I do?" As the merging process continued, she drifted into thoughts. After some time, her eyes shone brightly. She found the solution from the memories of cultivators—dual cultivation. "He can share his burden of bloodline with a female and grant that bloodline to her via dual cultivation. It can be used to control bloodline instincts. I will seal all his bloodlines except his innate void devouring bloodline. Only when suitable conditions are met will those bloodlines be activated by dual cultivation, granting a bloodline to the female."
"And now, the final step." She used her soul essence as a base and crafted a bloodline system, a capable assistant for Nyx's future cultivation journey. With this final gift, she merged with the realm tree. Once again, silence reigned, with only the slowly churning blood mist in the blood lake.
Unknown to Nyx, all of this happened while he was unconscious, and his fate was irrevocably changed.
