The wind blew harder atop Azure Bone Mountain.
Sylar stood at the edge of the cliff, robes fluttering like war banners, eyes glowing faintly with newfound power. Beside him stood Yue, his first summoned subordinate—an Ice Warrior with skin as pale as snow and eyes like frozen lakes.
She didn't speak unless ordered to. She didn't breathe unless he willed it. That made her terrifying—and perfect.
Sylar exhaled slowly. The feeling of cultivation energy, raw and surging through his limbs, was intoxicating. It wasn't his alone. It was linked to Yue's body—her strength, her growth, her breakthroughs would all reflect in him.
"One loyal soldier strengthens me. Ten could elevate me. A hundred… could make me a god."
But power alone wasn't enough. Not in this world.
He needed a base, a symbol of control.He needed to form the physical presence of his Guild.
"System," he muttered, "establish a Guild Hall."

"Use one token," he ordered without hesitation.
A surge of spiritual light pulsed across the mountaintop. The ground shook as ancient stones rose from the earth, etched with silver lines. A fortress-like hall slowly emerged, styled like the sect palaces he had once read about: towering stone gates, phoenix banners, a central courtyard surrounded by ten chambers.
It was majestic—and it was his.

⛩️ Inside the Guild Hall
Yue walked beside him as he entered the courtyard. The air shimmered with spiritual energy. She spoke softly for the first time.
"My lord, I sense the hall adapts to your will. Should I begin formation inscriptions to secure it?"
"Yes. And raise a spiritual boundary—if anyone dares approach without my permission, freeze them."
"As you command."
As Yue departed, Sylar walked toward the Summoning Chamber. It pulsed like a living heart, light swirling at its center.

"Confirm," he whispered.
Fire flared in the chamber.
A woman stepped out. She wore a short crimson battle robe with golden trim, eyes like burning coals and lips curved in a knowing smile.
"Flame Strategist Lin greets the Guildmaster," she said with a graceful bow. "And may I say… you're even more handsome in person."
Sylar blinked. "...You were created just now."
"Doesn't mean I don't appreciate good leadership."
He snorted, then smiled. "I like you already."
She gave him a wink and stepped beside Yue, who remained cold and silent. The two were like day and night—one icy, one fiery, and both terrifyingly loyal.

🌄 Back in Linchuan Village
The villagers were whispering again.
"Sylar vanished yesterday."
"I saw light from the mountain. Strange light."
"Do you think he joined a rogue sect? Or… a demon cult?"
Inside their home, Sylar's sisters were nervous. His mother, Lady Lan, looked toward the mountain with narrowed eyes.
"That pressure yesterday… he's awakened. But something's different."
She stood quietly, her expression unreadable. "I just hope he hasn't walked a path too far from the light."
🥋 Meanwhile, in the Distant Eastern City of Verdant Bloom
A proud young man in white robes sat in a luxurious garden. He was known as Rong Chen, the top disciple of the Verdant Heaven Sect, known for his prodigious fire control and his incredible spiritual root—Golden Crimson Flame.
His jade pendant flashed.
📩 New Protagonist Detected: "Sylar"Protagonist Status: UnrankedLocation: Azure Bone MountainThreat Level: Unknown
Rong Chen frowned.
"Another…? Who the hell is this Sylar?"
He waved a hand, and a servant approached. "Bring my best scouts. I want everything on this new player."
The system's war had begun—and Sylar just joined the board.
🏯 That Night, In the Guild Hall
Sylar sat on his new throne—crafted by the system, made of celestial oak and silver bone—and stared at his reflection in a small spirit mirror.
He saw it clearly now.
He wasn't just a transmigrator. He wasn't just building a faction.
He was laying the foundation of a kingdom.One built not on trust… but on absolute loyalty.Not on fate… but on will.
And with Yue and Lin standing silently by his side, he said the words that would define his future.
"Tomorrow, we enter the rift. If the world won't give me its treasures… I'll take them."
