In the endless chaos, there exist countless worlds. Every day, worlds are born, and every day, worlds are destroyed.
From the moment a world is born, its time is already destined. When that time comes, the Heavenly Dao will deliver its judgment of destruction.
Worlds that perish in the judgment return to chaos, while those that survive gain new life. The one who leads a world to new life will become its ruler.
Worlds have levels, from low to high: Black Iron World, Bronze World, Silver World, and Gold World. A Black Iron World has one chaos time, a Bronze World has two, a Silver World has four, and a Gold World has eight. Currently, the highest world level in chaos is the Gold World.
Worlds that survive the judgment Black Iron Worlds, while those yet to face judgment are Primordial Worlds.
Each world's time is limited. The only way to gain more time for a world is to continuously advance its level.
A world's ruler can expand their territory by conquering other Primordial Worlds, thereby advancing their own world. Alternatively, they can use a special method to directly seize another world's ruler and advance.
A Black Iron World's ruler only needs to conquer one Primordial World to become the ruler of two worlds, allowing both to advance to Bronze Worlds. A Bronze World's ruler needs to conquer two worlds to become the ruler of four worlds, allowing all four to advance to Silver Worlds. Similarly, a Silver World's ruler needs to conquer four worlds to become the ruler of eight worlds, allowing all eight to advance to Gold Worlds.
A Primordial World has only one chance to be conquered, and during the conquest, the ruler cannot use their original power. They must re-cultivate under the existing rules. Once the Primordial World is fully conquered, there are no restrictions, and the ruler becomes a god-like being within their territory.
Failing to conquer a world results in punishment from the Heavenly Dao, causing the ruler's world level to drop by one. Thus, over countless eons, many worlds have been conquered, but few have advanced without dropping in level.
In chaos, there exists a special type of Primordial World called a Suicide World. These worlds do not face the Heavenly Dao's judgment but will collapse on their own after a certain time.
Suicide Worlds cannot be conquered but can be plundered, making them one of the most favored Primordial Worlds among rulers.
Each world has beings known as Fate Bearers, who act as pillars supporting the world's operation. If a ruler can seize Fate Bearers from other worlds, they can strengthen their own world. While this does not advance the world's level, it makes the world more stable in chaos, less likely to perish due to various accidents.
Directly plundering from other worlds will result in punishment from the rules or the original ruler. However, in Suicide Worlds where the rules have already collapsed, this is not the case. As long as you act before other rulers or the world's collapse, you can plunder freely, taking not only the most precious Fate Bearers but any resources as well!
Thus, Suicide Worlds are like gifts from chaos to rulers, highly welcomed.

"Hey, old Hiroto, are you really leaving Earth?"
At the Holy Capital, beneath a massive spaceship, Sora and his Sekireis were seeing off Hiroto and a group of senior scientists.
Now nearly fifty years old, Hiroto still looked like he was in his thirties. Dressed in his silver cape, he indeed looked quite imposing with a deep expression!
As the former manager of the Sekirei Project, after the world passed the judgment and gained new life, he received his due reward—eternal life.
Moreover, if he wished, he could completely reverse his aging and rejuvenate himself. However, this guy has grown accustomed to being an uncle, so he has remained that way.
For over a decade after the battle, MBI, under the leadership of Minaka, has been helping the world rebuild new systems and homes. Apart from the Holy Emperor and the Holy Concubines, this guy is also considered a great man and will undoubtedly be recorded in history.
"With you and these Sekireis, the world won't face major issues. Even if I stay, I wouldn't be of much use and would just end up bored."
"Old buddy, I'm off to explore the universe. Take care of yourself."
Patting Sora's shoulder, Minaka had the demeanor of an elder brother.
"Ahem… Old Minaka, you're not getting any younger. It might get lonely on this journey. Why not take a few wives with you?"
Over the years, this guy has remained a bachelor, and Sora felt somewhat guilty, especially since he was the one who stole Minaka's love interest back then. If possible, Sora was even considering setting him up with a few women.
Well, of course, that's what he said, but those Holy Knights and maids were out of the question—they were Sora's own treasures.
"Cut it out! You think I'm like you, a big beast!"
However, to Sora's dismay, Minaka not only didn't appreciate the gesture but also shot him a look of disdain.
"I've already seen through it all. Being alone, true love knows no bounds…"
With a dramatic turn of his cloak, a majestic figure, and a voice filled with the weight of years…
Alright, at this moment, Minaka radiated an aura so bright that it nearly blinded Sora's 24K titanium alloy dog eyes!
"Damn it, you're putting on an act! Keep it up! You'll be a lonely loser for life!"
Cursing inwardly, Sora kicked him straight into the spaceship from behind.
As the women and Sora watched, Minaka Hiroto piloted the spaceship away from Earth. With an endless lifespan, as long as he wasn't torn apart by space monsters, perhaps one day this guy would return.
…
"Ha… That bastard Minaka is gone. Miya, I leave this world in your hands. I might also be leaving for a while."
On the throne, Sora lay on Queen Miya's lap, gazing at the blue sky as he murmured.
Perhaps infected by Minaka's departure, Sora suddenly felt a bit bored.
He had become the ruler of this world, an invincible existence, surrounded by beautiful women every day. While such a life was enjoyable and comfortable, it could also become monotonous over time.
Without the passion of striving for a goal, one begins to feel lost.
Queen Miya, who had been massaging Sora's head, stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression:
"Sora, are you planning to conquer other worlds? We have plenty of time; we can wait until later. If you fail accidentally…"
The wise Miya naturally understood what Sora meant by "leaving," but she felt his actions were somewhat rash. A chaotic time was still far off for them, and there was no need to rush.
"Miya, I once told you that I possess many memories not of this world. Before coming here, I already knew the fate of this world, and I also know the fates of many other worlds."
"Therefore, this is a significant advantage for us. We must conquer those worlds I am familiar with before other rulers do. Only then will our world have more time and become stronger, preventing powerful eneMiyas from knocking on our door one day."
While savoring the unique scent of the queen, Sora spoke slowly.
"Hmm, if that's the case, we should indeed act quickly."
Nodding, Miya clearly agreed with Sora's reasoning.
"However, Sora, your goal is probably more about the girls from those other worlds, isn't it?"
With a sly smile, the occasionally mischievous queen whispered in Sora's ear.
"Ah, as expected of Miya, you've seen right through me. Ha, haha…"
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Sora admitted without hesitation.
To be honest, he was indeed eager for the beauties from those distant worlds!
"No matter what Sora does, as long as you're happy, I will always support you."
"So, go ahead with peace of mind. No matter how many sisters you bring back, I won't mind."
"Because I am your queen…"
Gently rubbing Sora's head, Queen Miya's face showed an incredibly tender expression, as if she could melt everything in the world.
"Thank you, Miya…"
Overwhelmed with emotion, the two embraced on the throne, as if they wanted to preserve this moment forever…
