The Ultimate Universe Creation-Chapter 9: The Final Stage of Pregnancy

Iram Rai stepped out of her self-made ice house and ventured into the hidden ice world in search of prey. As she walked, memories surfaced in her mind—memories of how she had obtained the most powerful treasure in her possession within this secret ice realm.

"When I was in the 'Spirit Fusion' stage, I entered a Forbidden Ice Ruin along with many cultivators from my sect to enhance my cultivation and search for treasures. Upon entering, we encountered an Ice Law Storm, but this storm was mixed with another law. That additional law was the Space Law, which caused spatial cracks to appear throughout the ruin. These cracks were filled with high-level Ice and Space Laws, making it extremely dangerous for us. As a result, we all desperately struggled to survive. Many cultivators from my sect lost their lives due to the Law Storm.

During the chaos, I became separated from my sect members while trying to save them. A wall of spatial law suddenly appeared between me and the others, making it impossible for me to cross. On the other side, a chaotic spatial law barrier blocked my path, and with my current strength at the time, it was impossible to pass through.

Realizing my predicament, I turned back and instructed the remaining cultivators from my sect to leave the ruin and return to safety. They followed my order, but I was left trapped in that perilous place. The residual law energy from the Ice Law Storm was enough to freeze my body. I struggled to resist, but I could not entirely escape the reach of the scattered laws. My Moon Body provided some protection against the high-level Ice Laws, but the slight presence of Space Laws within the storm inflicted severe wounds upon me. That day, I truly believed I would die there.

Desperate to escape, I used my Spirit Sense to scan my surroundings. Suddenly, I sensed something unusual. Observing carefully, I noticed that while the chaotic law barriers formed all around due to the storm, one particular spot had strangely stable law energy. It seemed as though, for some unknown reason, the laws of the Forbidden Ice Ruin were not functioning there.

Without hesitation, I used my cultivation strength to move toward that stable region. Upon reaching it, I examined the place carefully with my Divine Sense and discovered a teleportation platform. However, the Space Platform was in poor condition. Despite this, I believed it could still be used for a single teleportation.

Wasting no time, I retrieved Spirit Stones from my storage bracelet and placed them in each section of the platform. Then, I activated the stones using my Spirit Sense. Once fully activated, the teleportation platform emitted space energy, which enveloped my body. As the space energy bound itself to me, I was teleported to this Hidden Ice World."

Upon arriving, Iram Rai carefully scanned her surroundings and, seeing no immediate threats, felt a sense of relief. She realized that the law power of this small ice world was much more stable than that of the Forbidden Ice Ruin, meaning no dangerous law storms were forming here.

To heal her injuries, she swallowed some healing pills, allowing her body to recover. Once she was in better condition, she decided to explore the entire Hidden Ice World.

Taking out a treasure from her storage bracelet—one shaped like a large lotus leaf—she prepared for flight. She also consumed two Spirit Pills to ensure that her Spirit Power wouldn't deplete too quickly while flying. Although cultivators in the Spirit Fusion stage could fly, their Spirit Power drained rapidly, so she preferred to conserve her energy.

The Hidden Ice World spanned approximately 10,000 square kilometers, and it took Iram Rai two days to explore it fully. Within this world, she encountered various ice-elemental creatures, such as Ice Bears, Ice Monkeys, and Ice Snakes. These creatures were at the 'Nascent Soul' stage, making them no match for Iram Rai, whose cultivation was at the 'Ancient Spirit' level. As a result, most of the creatures fled in fear upon seeing her.

At the center of the Hidden Ice World stood a grand palace. Iram Rai attempted to enter, but a protective barrier surrounded it. Determined, she decided to use an Ice Axe skill from the Spirit Fusion stage to break through. Raising both hands above her head, she channeled her Spirit Power through her Ice Spirit Root and formed a massive axe of condensed ice. With full force, she struck the barrier.

Instead of breaking apart, the protective barrier shattered like glass, suggesting that the energy sustaining it had finally depleted over time.

Cautiously, Iram Rai stepped into the palace. Each chamber was empty, containing only scattered furniture. She searched the rooms, finding no locked formations or defensive mechanisms—likely because they had lost their effectiveness over time.

Eventually, she arrived at the palace's main hall. Unlike the other rooms, the door here was sealed with a still-active formation lock, though its Spirit Stone energy had weakened significantly.

Iram Rai attempted to break the formation by forging a condensed ice sword with her Spirit Power and striking it with all her strength. However, the formation remained intact, only losing a small amount of power.

Realizing that breaking the formation with brute force would take over a month, she sighed. "I lack knowledge in formations, so I have no choice but to break this one with sheer strength," she thought.

One month later, the formation finally shattered.

Feeling immense relief, Iram Rai let out a deep breath. "If there isn't a valuable treasure inside, all my efforts will have been in vain," she muttered.

She stepped into the main hall and noticed a table and a chair. On the table, there were several books and a small black wooden box.

Approaching the table, she inspected the books. There were four in total—three skill books and one cultivation notebook. The skill books were all minor Ice Law techniques:

Ice Law Hand

Ice Law Chains

Ice Python

The notebook contained insights on comprehending Ice Laws more easily.

Next, Iram Rai opened the small black box, and upon seeing its contents, she was overwhelmed with joy.

Inside lay a artifact at the Godhood level. She could tell because the treasure emitted a combination of golden and white light.

"This is the 'World Holder' artifact," she realized.

Godhood artifact have many functions, and such artifacts are bound to the wielder's soul. Without hesitation, she linked her soul to the 'World Holder' Artifact.

As soon as she did, her Soul Power increased significantly. However, she realized that she could only activate one function of the treasure with her current strength—Teleportation, which could be used only once per year.

Yet, there was a catch—she couldn't take the 'World Holder' Artifact out of the Hidden Ice World. That's because a part of this Artifact was the Hidden Ice World itself. The 'World Holder' artifact contained an enormous internal space meant for storing an entire ice realm, but due to her insufficient Soul Power, she couldn't activate this feature yet.

Iram Rai reminisced about the time she was ambushed, when her attackers had tried to steal her soul core. She had survived thanks to two Artifact—one gifted by her friend and the first feature of the 'World Holder' Artifact.

Smiling to herself, she thought, "Perhaps fate always intended for me to have this treasure and my child."

She then hunted ice-elemental creatures for food, cooking and eating their meat. The spirit-rich meat provided all the nutrition her unborn child needed.

Days passed, and soon, she reached the final stage of her pregnancy.

Realizing that her child could be born at any moment within the next seven days, she began preparing everything necessary for the birth.
