Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 1016 - 1005: True Name Manifested, Quasi Emperor!

"How's the plan going during my absence this month?"

Bai Yan had long devised a contingency plan for times when he was absent or unable to respond to Fu Chao and others' summons. This month's contemplation of the question "Who am I?" had stalled his brain, just right to test the plan's effectiveness.

"More than half of the Endless Star Sea has already surrendered. As for those species resisting stubbornly, we've dispatched troops to persuade them."

"In about another month, the entire Endless Star Sea will fall within Brother Yan's grasp."

Seeing that Bai Yan was still the decisive Bai Yan he knew, Fu Chao couldn't help but smile slightly and quickly spoke.

"Hmm, the day the Endless Star Sea fully submits will be the day we enter the Outer Domain. Make good preparations."

Bai Yan fell silent for a few seconds, then commanded Fu Chao.

"Yes, Brother Yan."

Fu Chao knew Bai Yan would say this, and he had been preparing in this regard all along.

For instance, Demon Island had undergone another expansion. Now, Demon Island no longer needed to fly across the void; its movement methods relied entirely on the utilization of space.

Whether it's folding space or constructing wormholes, both are ways Demon Island moves.

After all, Demon Island, which has expanded to nearly half the Earth's size, no longer suits its original movement methods. Even if Demon Island harbors higher and purer energy, it won't use those inefficient transportation methods anymore.

Following Bai Yan's instructions, Fu Chao left, while Bai Yan remained in place.

Though he had figured out the question of who he was, Bai Yan always felt there was another answer waiting for him, right behind the question itself.

Not far now, just a bit more reflection and he would understand.

Bai Yan closed his eyes again, sinking into contemplation.

What is the question I need to ponder?

This was the first question Bai Yan asked himself.

After resolving the issue of who he was, what further contemplation was needed?

"What is my name?"

Yes, what is my name! That's the question!

During his last breakthrough, Bai Yan acquired part of his True Name. He knew his True Name also bore the surname Bai, but he had no idea what the specific name was.

This time, Bai Yan felt as if the True Name was calling him, right next to the answer to the "Who am I?" question. With a little reflection, he would understand.

But from what angle should he consider this problem?

Bai Yan seemed to suddenly fall into a state of obsession. This was his last chance; if he didn't grasp it to figure out what the True Name was, he might not have such an opportunity for a long time.

Bai Yan was clearly aware of this, yet this time he wasn't anxious. He even started to enjoy pondering these philosophical questions.

"So, ultimately, what is my name?"

"In the end, what determines a True Name?"

"What is the relationship between a True Name and perhaps what is better termed a given name?"

Bai Yan knew facing the question directly wasn't realistic, so he began asking more questions along the way. By thinking about these questions Bai Yan himself raised, he would gradually approach the ultimate answer.

"The two names, outer and inner, must be related."

Bai Yan appeared once more beside the river of time, staring intensely at the water before him.

"Then let's extract all scenes related to True Names to aid my thinking!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Bai Yan commanded the river of time.

In almost an instant, countless scenes flashed before Bai Yan's eyes—there were Demon Servants signing demon contracts with their True Names piously, and gods like Father God cursing Bai Yan maliciously with their True Names...

Bai Yan reviewed each of these scenes, innumerable thoughts manifesting in his mind.

Beside the river of time, he seemed to come to a realization and suddenly closed his eyes.

At this moment, the will of the world within the Endless Star Sea seemed to suffer a blow, shrinking into a ball, ceasing its usual pastime of descending Heavenly Tribulations everywhere to punish those defying fate, retreating entirely into its domain!

In what seemed a mere instant, or perhaps an eternity, when Bai Yan reopened his eyes, the divine light within them had transformed completely.

"Who would have thought the answer to this question was so simple."

The smile on Bai Yan's lips never faded, yet often there was a trace of relief hidden within his smiles.

"Bai Yan! My True Name is Bai Yan!"

Suddenly Bai Yan returned to consciousness, speaking softly to the endlessly flowing river of time, with a confidence in his words more resolute than ever.

"I am myself, thus everything is me; the given name is me, the True Name is me!"

"I am Bai Yan! Bai Yan is me!"

Bai Yan's voice suddenly rose, almost haughty!

"How could the Endless Star Sea accommodate Bai Yan's True Name!"

"I, Bai Yan, am myself and Bai Yan!"

"Hahaha! Who would have thought the problem that troubled me for so long was this simple!"

Bai Yan laughed, even tearing up from laughter.

This is how it's going to be; Bai Yan was always obsessed with the world will manifesting his True Name, because in his mind, the world will existed since ancient times and naturally could see everything from his two lives, leaving no doubt about his True Name.

But never did he expect that the will of the world within the Endless Star Sea lacked qualification to manifest his True Name—in the end, it was entirely up to him, relying on his own power to gather his True Name.

And this True Name was precisely the source of his new strength.

"Who would have thought gathering the True Name would come with such benefits."

Bai Yan said with a smirk, connecting his Divine Thought with the world, instantly transferring himself to an uninhabited place.

Because he was about to break through again.

Originally at the Supreme Peak of Ancient Supreme, his cultivation unexpectedly entered a state of transformation once more, without even Bai Yan having to worry—the transformation was bound to succeed, and upon completion, his power would advance further into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

The faint intuition regarding the future no longer brought Bai Yan concern, but he did everything he ought to do.

Only by exhausting all possibilities could he be worthy of himself, worthy of the name Bai Yan that resonates throughout the Endless Star Sea!

"Shoo!"

"Shoo!"

"Shoo!"

Infinite whirlpools of Spiritual Energy began to appear above Bai Yan's head, seemingly capable of devouring the entire Endless Star Sea! Frenziedly absorbing the Spiritual Energy within the Endless Star Sea.

The Spiritual Energy vortex emitted a faint glow, which sprinkled down, illuminating Bai Yan's determined face with tightly pursed lips, exuding an indescribable majesty, akin to a deity in deep thought.

In but a moment! Quasi Emperor, achieved!
