In the Chaotic Sea of the Infernal Realm, a serpentine shadow writhed uncontrollably. The beast's scales were pitched black, darker than even the lightless abyss of the depths, and his body was extremely long and thin. No, the serpentine body only appeared long and thin. In truth, the serpent's body was over thousands of kilometers long.

This was the first lifeform born in the Infernal Realm, the Sable Leviathan!

However, the most powerful being in all of the Infernal Realm was currently thrashing in pain. His voice sent shockwaves even in the dense pressure of the abyssal waters.

"Stop! Stop, I won't fight you for the strange Divine Spark anymore! Let me go! Let me go!"

It was a strange sight, Wodred, the Sable Leviathan, was pleading for mercy, but there was obviously no other lifeform within a million kilometers. This was only natural, he had claimed hegemony over the surrounding waters and killed any who dared to defy his orders, so it would be strange if another lifeform were near him.

Wodred continued to plead. He threw away the pride he had cultivated since his birth as the overlord of the Chaotic Sea and begged for his life. Still, no matter how much he pleaded, there was no response as his thrashing body started slow.

But that was not because whatever was attacking Wodred was stopping. In fact, it was just the opposite. Wodred's body showed no signs of damage, the overflowing vitality did not lie. It was his soul that was slowly being extinguished.

As more time passed, the light in Wodred's eyes began to dim, and he even lost the processing power to convey his despair. Finally, the flame of wisdom in the eyes of the Sable Leviathan was completely smothered. Simultaneously, two gems fell out of the Sable Leviathan's body.

One gem was black with twisting gray strands. This was a Highgod Divine Spark of Destruction.

The second gem was a fiery red with burning flames flickering within. This was a Highgod Divine Spark of Fire.

Slowly, the light of wisdom was reignited in the Sable Leviathan's eyes, but to anyone who knew Wodred, it was obvious that this Sable Leviathan's aura was completely different!

The Sable Leviathan's body twisted and squirmed, shedding numerous pieces of scales, skin, flesh, and even bones until it was a thousand meters long. From then, three hairs of horns sprouted and curved into a crown-like form, a pair of crimson eyes appeared above and below the original eye, and a pair of arms and legs grew. For the last change, seven wings sprouted, three on each side and one on its back like a dorsal fin.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect everything to go smoothly. Luckily I arrived when Wodred became a Highgod. Otherwise, I would have no chance to use the High Sovereign Spark!" The voice from the immense dragon was surprisingly mellow and pleasant, which was further enhanced by the jubilation contained within the words.

The lifeform that had come out was a seven-winged dragon with scales as black as the Sable Leviathan. However, there was a strange dissociation between the lifeform's words.

The lifeform wasn't a dragon at all but a parasitic lifeform. The parasitic lifeform was the second life that had been born on a material plane, one that came into existence inside a juvenile divine beast. The moment the juvenile beast just almost became an adult, the parasitic lifeform struck and devoured the divine beast's soul and blood. Through this, the parasitic lifeform gained the innate ability of the divine beast.

Why was a parasitic lifeform able to devour a divine beast? The answer was because the parasitic lifeform was also a divine beast!

The divine beast's ability was extremely queer and abnormal as it allowed it to devour another race's flesh and soul, acquiring and merging compatible innate abilities. This ability sounded heaven-defying, but there were numerous drawbacks. For one, the target's strength had to be lower than the user's. Second, the user couldn't devour the soul within a Divine Spark.

Hence, the parasitic divine beast did the smartest thing in its entire life and chose to strike during the crucial moment when the juvenile divine beast had just entered the cusp of adulthood and before the Divine Spark descended. But that wasn't the most important aspect of the divine beast.

The parasitic beast before then was a creature that moved based on instinct and intuition, but after it devoured the divine beast, the parasitic divine beast gained sentience and quickly understood one of the profound mysteries of the world, becoming a Demigod. However, that was also secondary because the most critical aspect of regaining sentience was the parasitic lifeform's memories of its previous life!

To be more specific, the being was a former human on Earth! He soon discovered that he had been transmigrated into the novel "Coiling Dragon" and over a quadrillion years before the novel's start when life first began appearing in all the planes of the universe.

Knowing that this was his chance, the parasitic lifeform immediately teleported to the Infernal Realm. When it arrived, it was shocked at how desolate and sparse the Infernal Realm was, but contrary to what one might expect, the parasitic lifeform became happier.

The less populated the Infernal Realm was, the higher its chances of acquiring a Sovereign Spark! In fact, the parasitic lifeform began to set its sight on the most powerful Sovereign Spark from the Edict of Destruction!

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

There were many reasons for this. For one, according to its knowledge, it didn't know the other Sovereigns of Destruction as well as the future Chief Sovereign of Destruction. Following a known target was better than trying its luck against the unknown, but the most important aspect was still the power it could attain from fusing with a High Sovereign Spark.

After more than a million years of planning, it had finally completed its first goal! No, its goal was half completed.

The seven-winged dragon turned its eyes towards the depths below, where a gem resembling the Highgod Spark of Destruction but more transparent and esoteric. Without delay, the dragon moved its body towards the spark and dripped a drop of its blood on it.

Instantly the destruction-type Sovereign Spark levitated from the seafloor, and a dense aura of destruction shot out in every direction. The skies of the Infernal Realm were dyed black as dense dark destruction essence, destruction Sovereign Power, swirled around the parasitic divine beast.

A second seven-winged dragon emerged from its original body. As if two magnets, the second dragon and the destruction-type Sovereign Spark, were attracted to each other, and the Sovereign Spark sunk into the destruction-type divine clone's head and merged with the clone's Divine Spark.

Afterward, the skies of the Infernal Realm returned to normal, and the dense destruction-type Sovereign Power disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place. More importantly, the parasitic divine beast could feel the immense power of Will flowing into his soul and originating from his Sovereign Spark.

"Hahaha, I finally did it! I am at the peak of the universe!" The seven-winged dragon shouted with joy, its voice even more joyful than before. "From now on, I shall be known as Akasha, the only Genesis Wyrm, the primogenitor species of all life!"

The parasitic divine beast, no, Akasha disdained calling himself a parasite. Not only that, but if his actual innate ability were to be known, the other Sovereigns might fear him and ally themselves to get rid of him. The good thing was that thanks to his innate abilities, Akasha attained the Divine Abilities of numerous divine beasts, including the Sable Leviathan.

With this, Akasha was confident in impersonating a Sable Leviathan. His actual divine ability was far more powerful than the Sable Leviathan's, but he could easily imitate the Soul Cage Divine Ability at will. Better yet...

Akasha's crimson eyes landed on the remains of Wodred's body after he absorbed the best parts. With a simple thought, Wodred's remains were condensed and brought before Akasha. 'I can emulate Augustus and Beirut. Kidnap a few mortals and bestow the Sable Leviathan's blood essence to them and take them as my children.

But that was a plan for the future. Humans were the most adaptable creatures to foreign blood, so Akasha had to wait until humans were born. Furthermore, Akasha planned to hide his birth material plane as a backup in case he had to escape.

Right now, he had more important matters to take care of. Scanning through the remnant memories of Wodred, Akasha brought his remains to his home, a cave in the deepest part of the Chaotic Sea.

"Tsk, carrying Wodred's corpse is really inconvenient. Till now, spatial rings have yet to be created. Just when will I be able to have a spatial ring?" Akasha muttered with displeasure.

Curling into a circle, Akasha began to baptize his body with destruction-type Sovereign Power. Although it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the novel, Akasha was sure that Wodred's body was as powerful as a Sovereign artifact. Since Orloff could turn his body to do the same with his weak flesh, then the first lifeform of the Infernal Realm, the Sable Leviathan, should also be able to accomplish the same!

The first lifeforms of all planes were incredibly lucky. Not only did they have a chance to become a Sovereign, but their innate abilities and bodies were incredibly powerful. Although not all of them were as unreasonable as a Godeater Rat or Sable Leviathan, they still had inherent advantages almost comparable to a Highgod Paragon.

Sure enough, under the continuous tempering of destruction-type Sovereign Power, Akasha's body began to undergo extraordinary changes. Even without the Edict of Destruction or Sovereign Power, Akasha felt that he could easily slap a Highgod to death with his bodily might alone.

Akasha released a sigh. Even if he wasn't a Paragon, he had confidence in surviving against other Chief Sovereigns. Still, he wasn't satisfied yet. If he became a Paragon, then that would be a hundredfold increase of strength!

A hundred!

But even if Akasha was confident in his talents, he knew that it wouldn't be so simple. Akasha estimated that it might take him a billion years, and that was a generous estimate. Of course, if he could receive the faith of numerous mortals scattered in the materials planes, that would be another story, but this was still the early era of the universe, so there likely weren't many mortals at all.

Calming down his heart, an ability he had tempered in her million-year-long scheme, Akasha began to refine inkstones, Sovereign's Might, and Sovereign artifacts.

Becoming a Paragon would take a long time. It was better to consolidate his power and influence first before working on cultivating. Speaking of cultivating, Akasha began to lament. "It's a pity that I don't have any talent in the seven elemental laws. Otherwise, I don't mind finding a method to become a four-way soul mutate in fire, wind, water, and earth."

But there was no use wishing for the impossible. Akasha knew this in his long years of life, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and went to work forging the Sovereign artifacts.

----------------------------------------

A hundred thousand years later, the sky of the Infernal Realm was dyed black, signifying the birth of another Sovereign.

Inside a cave in the abyss of the Chaotic Sea, Akasha opened his eyes. Currently, he was not in his seven-winged true body. Instead, his form was that of a human with six crown-like horns adorning his head. His heigh only reached 1.6 meters with long cascading, ink-black hair that reached his waist, paired with his crimson eyes that contrasted greatly against his ivory skin; Akasha appeared to be a handsome woman or particularly beautiful man.

"Let's go meet my new colleague," Akasha muttered, and his figure disappeared.

With the power of Will and Sovereign Power, Akasha didn't take too long to meet the new Sovereign. Along the way, she discovered that the number of Highgods had drastically increased. Even spatial rings had started to appear. With but a thought, Akasha finally acquired a spatial ring that she had dreamed of for years.

Spatial rings were constructed by shaping a unique rock known as spatial stones. The quality of the spatial stone directly determined the size of the spatial ring.

'Perhaps I can start seeking out subordinate and propagate inkstones and Sovereign's Might.' Akasha thought. In the ten thousand years, he had fashioned eight Sovereign artifacts. Three of them were for himself, although one of them was just for fun since his body was comparable to a Sovereign artifact, and he was strongest barehanded.

Upon arrival, Akasha studied the newly born Sovereign.
