Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

[Stealth Walker] continued to activate.

Su Yuan withdrew most of his mental avatars that had physical forms, leaving only a small number of clones behind.

Then he entered a state of silence.

After waiting for several breaths, nothing happened.

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

“That scared me!”

Su Yuan now understood where that sense of calling came from.

It was from the main body of the Fame System, the [True Name Jade Disc], which sensed the missing fragment and thus generated the sense of calling.

Su Yuan was utterly shocked by this realization, meaning that some existence had already collected quite a few True Name Jade Discs, and that existence was very likely the original owner of the [True Name Jade Disc]!

“Since I’ve already broken free from fate, I will collect all the [True Name Jade Discs] in the future,” Su Yuan muttered to himself.

He concealed the [True Name Jade Disc] to prevent it from connecting with the outside world again.

His desire for power grew even stronger within his heart.

It’s still not enough!

I need to become even stronger!

On the other side of the Chaos Continent.

An old man whispered: “There’s actually someone else like me who has broken free from the shackles of fate, but there can only be one master of the [True Name Jade Disc], and that’s me!”

“I need to delay his growth, can’t let him come to the Chaos Continent.”

The old man immediately activated a special ability, using the trace of power he had just stirred as an anchor point, to trigger the power of calamity!

The unseen calamity, through some incomprehensible method, crossed endless distances, locked onto Su Yuan’s existence, and was unleashed.

Even though the old man didn’t know the exact location, nor who the target was, or what strength they possessed, this ability could still be activated. It would bring endless calamities to the opponent, delaying their progress speed!

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

Su Yuan sensed an imminent life-and-death crisis descending upon him, and he immediately looked at his system panel.

On the panel, his innate trait [Duty in Peril] suddenly lit up.

When he clicked on the trait, he couldn’t find the source of the danger, which reminded him of the recent calling.

“It seems they’re not planning to let me off!”

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He looked toward the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, and even the God Realm Sea and Abyss Realm Sea.

Immediately, he sensed changes occurring in the God Realm Sea.

There, where Ragnarök had just begun not long ago, with many planes still in the early stages of erosion, the erosion speed had now inexplicably accelerated.

Su Yuan immediately began deducing based on the trait changes and the God Realm Sea changes, quickly discovering clues: The kalpa in the God Realm Sea was difficult to stop because it was an immeasurable kalpa dominated by the Nine Nether Realm. Once intervening too deeply, it would immediately attract the attention of the Nine Nether Realm.

As for what kind of existence the Nine Nether Realm was, Su Yuan still couldn’t comprehend it, but it was certainly an inconceivably great existence that shouldn’t be provoked lightly.

The source of the crisis lay precisely here—the immeasurable kalpa in the God Realm Sea would eventually give birth to a super calamity of the Wuji realm. At that time, all powerful beings in the God Realm Sea would face the death threat of this super calamity, causing the fall of gods, and even the God Realm Sea itself would restart because of it!

If Su Yuan only had the God Realm Sea as his habitat among realm seas, then he would inevitably have to leave the God Realm Sea and venture into the chaos.

“Wait, even though I currently have three realm seas as habitats, the calamity could very well cross realm seas to find me! If one falls, all three suffer!”

Su Yuan used the Time Law to deduce the future, vaguely seeing this even worse outcome.

The barriers between realm seas were not insurmountable chasms for the Nine Nether Realm and the calamities it triggered. The calamity would very likely target him, as someone who frequently intervened in kalpas.

Using the [Big Dipper], he had influenced countless beings in the God Realm Sea, repeatedly delaying the progress of the kalpa. It could be said that he was now the greatest obstacle to the kalpa, without equal!

Therefore, he was a thorn in the side of the calamity, and the outcome was predictable!

If this were the case, he would have no choice but to venture into the chaos and challenge the unknown.

No wonder the [Duty in Peril] trait on his system panel was so brightly lit.

“What a sinister method, but I have a way to counter it!”

Su Yuan chuckled.

Su Yuan’s figure flashed, and he instantly arrived at a large plane within the God Realm Sea.

This place was also experiencing Ragnarök.

However, the situation in this plane was much better. Many believers who worshipped the [Big Dipper] could use divine arts to deal with the Nameless Mist, with extremely effective results, as if the [Big Dipper] specifically countered the Nameless Mist.

Su Yuan shook his head with a smile and stepped into the interior of the Nameless Mist.

Within the endless black mist, a swimming fish sensed Su Yuan’s arrival and hurriedly swam over happily.

“Master, you’re here!” Little Cai joyfully came to Su Yuan’s side, initially wanting to lean against him but seemingly worried about something, not daring to get too close.

Su Yuan reached out and picked up Little Cai, holding her in his arms, smiling as he said: “Don’t worry, it’s fine!”

Little Cai transformed into a little girl, nestling in Su Yuan’s embrace, rubbing against his chest, and said cheerfully: “Master, you’ve already reached the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? So amazing!”

Su Yuan also checked Little Cai’s current strength, which had remarkably reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level—this speed was also extremely astonishing! But it was still too slow!

Su Yuan asked: “Little Cai, there’s more than just you among the calamities in the God Realm Sea, right? There are other calamities. When things develop later, will there be competition between calamities?”

Little Cai hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “That’s right, we are all calamities. In the later stages, we’re all competitors with each other. Only the final victor can enjoy the greatest benefits. Other calamities will likely be devoured and become nourishment for the victor!”

Su Yuan frowned: “Then your current approach won’t do. Intentionally not harming my believers is slowing your growth too much!”

Little Cai smiled: “Don’t worry, Master, I’m very clever. When I feel something’s wrong, I can hide in the Nine Nether Realm. I’m not like other calamities who have no brains at all!”

In Little Cai’s eyes, there was still clear wisdom, and this clarity seemed to reflect Su Yuan’s shadow!

Other calamities, after maturing and leaving their original realm seas, lost all their relatives and companions, their bonds disappeared. Subsequently, in the endless darkness and merciless slaughter, they would gradually lose compassion for life, become indifferent to life, and eventually even become cold and unfeeling toward themselves, turning into killing machines.

But Little Cai, the moment she became a calamity, during her time of confusion and helplessness, Su Yuan’s response spanning endless space was her greatest comfort, preserving the clarity of her intelligence.

To be honest, it was pretty amazing—in this world, no one else could intimately contact a calamity like Su Yuan. The endless stream of calamity energy flowing into Su Yuan’s body wasn’t something ordinary people could withstand.

“Little Cai, since calamities will devour each other later, I’ll give you something to devour now. See if you can devour it?”

Su Yuan took out a Calamity Fiend from the Primordial Isle, still in a severely injured and dormant state.
