After returning to the Holy Domain, Han Mu collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Zhou Meng and Luo Feng quickly helped him to bed. Han Li examined his injuries, and his expression became extremely grave.

"My lord's injuries are severe. Most of his meridians are broken, and his very essence has been damaged. It will take a long time for him to recover," Han Li said.

"What should we do then? The Void God Emperor might make a comeback at any time. How can we fight him in this state, my lord?" Zhou Meng said anxiously.

"Let the master recover from his injuries first; we can discuss other matters later," Han Li said.

Han Mu remained unconscious for seven days before slowly waking up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Meng and the other two guarding his bedside, all with worried expressions on their faces.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Han Mu asked, his voice a little hoarse.

"Seven days," Zhou Meng said.

"Has the Void God Emperor returned?" Han Mu asked.

"No, the army of the Divine Realm Alliance is still stationed on the edge of the Chaos Sea, and the Void God Emperor dares not make any rash moves," Han Li said.

Han Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He struggled to sit up and checked his injuries. They were indeed severe. Most of his meridians were broken, and his vital essence was also damaged. He would not be able to recover without several years of recuperation.

"My lord, you should focus on recovering from your injuries. Leave the rest to us," Luo Feng said.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Han Mu nodded and began to seclude himself to heal his injuries, while Zhou Meng and the other two took turns guarding him to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Han Mu's injuries have finally healed, and his cultivation has recovered to the late stage of the Creation Realm. However, he knows that with his current strength, he is still no match for the Void God Emperor. He must find a way to break through to the peak of the Creation Realm, or even the Perfect Creation Realm.

"System, is there any way for me to quickly break through to the peak of the Creation Realm?" Han Mu asked.

"The host can try to cultivate in the Time-Space Secret Realm. The time flow rate in the Time-Space Secret Realm is a thousand times that of the outside world. If the host cultivates for a thousand years inside, only one year will have passed outside," the system replied.

"Where is the Secret Realm of Time and Space?" Han Mu asked.

"The Time-Space Secret Realm is a built-in function of the system. The host only needs to consume 100,000 points to enter the Time-Space Secret Realm for cultivation once," the system said.

"100,000 points, how many points do I have now?" Han Mu asked.

"The host currently has 120,000 points," the system said.

Han Mu gritted his teeth. 120,000 points were what he had painstakingly saved up over several years. Spending 100,000 at once was painful, but he was willing to risk it all to improve his strength.

"Alright, I'm going to enter the Time-Space Secret Realm," Han Mu said.

"Consuming 100,000 points, the Time-Space Secret Realm is now open. The secret realm lasts for one year outside, but a thousand years inside." The system's voice rang out, and a white light enveloped Han Mu. The next second, he appeared in a white space.

There was no sky or earth in the space, only emptiness, but the air was filled with a dense power of laws, more than a hundred times denser than the Chaos Sea. Han Mu sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

He cultivated in the Time-Space Secret Realm for five hundred years, breaking through from the late stage of Creation to the peak of Creation. He then cultivated for another three hundred years, breaking through from the peak of Creation to the perfect stage of Creation, just one step away from the legendary Eternal Realm.

But he couldn't take that step no matter what, as if an invisible barrier was blocking his way.

"What exactly is the Eternal Realm?" Han Mu murmured. He had tried various methods, but none of them could break through.

Just then, the system suddenly issued a notification.

"Ding, the system has detected that the host has reached the pinnacle of creation and meets the conditions for triggering the ultimate mission. Do you wish to accept the ultimate mission?"

"Ultimate mission? What mission?" Han Mu asked.

"Ultimate mission: Become the new creator god. Upon completion of the mission, the host will obtain the method to break through to the Eternal Realm and the inheritance of the creator god," the system said.

"The Creator God, what is that?" Han Mu asked.

"The Creator God is the highest being in the universe, in charge of its operation and the maintenance of its order. To become the Creator God means to become the master of the universe," the system said.

Han Mu gasped. Becoming the master of the universe? This task was just too outrageous.

"Accept the mission," Han Mu said. Since he couldn't break through to the next level anyway, he might as well give this ultimate mission a try.

"Mission accepted. Mission objective: Defeat the current Creator God and seize the Creator Godhood. Mission time limit: Unlimited," the system said.

"Defeating the current Creator God means that there is already a Creator God," Han Mu asked.

"Yes, the current creator god has existed for countless eons, but he is old and his power is beginning to decline, making it the best time to take his place," the system said.

"Where is the current Creator God?" Han Mu asked.

"At the very center of the universe, in the Temple of Creation," the system said.

Han Mu took a deep breath. He knew this task would be difficult, but he had no way out. He had to become the Creator God to protect the Chaos Sea and his family and friends.

As the white light dissipated, Han Mu left the Time-Space Secret Realm. Only a year had passed in the outside world, but his cultivation had already broken through from the late stage of Creation to the perfect stage of Creation.

"My lord, you've emerged from seclusion." Zhou Meng exclaimed with delight upon seeing Han Mu.

"Yes, I've broken through." Han Mu nodded and told Zhou Meng and the other two about the ultimate mission.

"Our lord is going to challenge the Creator God," Zhou Meng exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, this is the only way," Han Mu said.

"Then we'll accompany the master up there," Luo Feng said.

"No, you all stay in the Chaos Sea, I'll go alone," Han Mu refused. The Creator God's strength was unfathomable, and he would have a chance of survival if he went alone. Taking Zhou Meng and the other two with him would only send them to their deaths.

Han Mu bid farewell to Zhou Meng and the other two, and headed alone to the center of the universe, the Temple of Creation.

The Temple of Creation is located at the very center of the universe. It is a golden palace that floats in the void. Countless runes of law surround the palace, exuding a sacred aura that makes people want to worship it.

Han Mu arrived at the temple entrance, and the gate opened automatically, revealing an aged voice from within.

"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Han Mu entered the temple and saw an old man with white hair sitting on the throne in the center of the temple. The old man had a kind face, but his eyes were deep and seemed to be able to see through everything.

"You are the current creator god," Han Mu asked.

"That's right, I am the creator god, and also the creator of your system," the old man laughed.

"What? You created the system?" Han Mu exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, I created the system and deployed it to various worlds to find a suitable successor, and you are the successor I am most satisfied with," said the Creator God.

"Then why did you ask me to challenge you?" Han Mu asked.

"Because I am old and my power is waning, I need a new creator god to take my place, and you are the most suitable candidate," the creator god said.

"What will happen if I fail?" Han Mu asked.

"If you fail, you will die, and I will continue to search for the next successor," the Creator God said in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
