Chapter 38 – The Antarctica Signal: Return of the Chaos Throne

Opening: The Signal from the End of the World

For centuries, Antarctica was dismissed as a barren sheet of ice. Even among cultivators, it was considered a dead land—too spiritually thin, too cold for any Qi to survive.

But Dominion's Chaos AI disagreed.

[Alert: Chaos Signal Detected]

Location: 87°S, 78°E

Source: Primordial Seal Resonance

Type: Dormant – Chaos Sect Origin Confirmed

Rayan stood before the cold white projections of the South Pole, his expression unreadable.

"This is where it ends. Or begins again."

Behind him, Yulin slowly shifted into his full Chaos Dragon form, wings casting a massive shadow across Eclipse Ark One's command chamber.

"This land was once ruled by something older than fear."

Descent into the Frozen Realm

Equipped with enhanced thermal gear, soul-resistant armor, and divine flame cores to resist the permafrost, a handpicked Dominion squad launched from the Sky Fortress.

Personnel:

Rayan, Chaos Sect Master Kael, Beast Lord ZeroTrace, stealth and scan specialist Two Black Order generals Yulin, Chaos Dragon

They touched down silently. No satellites picked up their presence—Chaos Core ensured absolute silence.

Within minutes of scanning, the team found it:

A perfect circle, 400 meters across, where no snow accumulated. In the center: a giant obsidian disc embedded in the ice, carved with a familiar sigil—

☯ – The Chaos Throne Seal

The Seal Awakens

Rayan placed his palm on the disc.

The moment his Soul Print touched the center, the seal responded.

[Confirming Identity: Chaos Sect Master – Valid]

[Activating Primordial Mechanism]

A thunderous rumble echoed across the ice fields.

Pillars of light rose from the earth—12 beams forming a ring of ancient power.

The ground cracked, spiraling down into an ancient staircase—one that led deep beneath Antarctica's crust.

The voice of a long-dead elder echoed faintly:

"Welcome back… Lord of the Throne."

Journey to the Temple Below

Descending thousands of feet below, the Dominion team entered a tunnel lined with floating runes, preserved by Chaos Time Seals.

Walls glowed softly with violet flame inscriptions. Faint figures—disciples, dragons, and gods—etched the stone, frozen mid-worship.

"This isn't just a temple," whispered Kael. "It's a tomb of worship."

They passed statues of every past Sect Master—each one emanating the silent might of those who once ruled across 9 realms.

And finally, at the center of a circular hall, they reached it:

The Chaos Throne

Forged from void stone, alloyed with dragon bone, and wrapped in an aura that shimmered like galaxies, the throne waited.

The Chaos Throne Recognizes the New Master

As Rayan stepped forward, the throne awakened.

[Initiating Soul Link: Master of the Primordial Bloodline]

Chains of light shot out from the floor, linking to Rayan's soul, mind, and body.

His vision swirled.

He saw:

The original Chaos Sect Master—standing tall as stars collapsed around him. The creation of realms. The first demon war. The betrayal of heaven.

Then the voice came.

"You are the last and first.

You are the death of fate and the rebirth of order.

Sit, and reclaim the power of the Void Sovereign."

Rayan sat.

The temple exploded with light.

Unlocking the Void Sovereign System

[Throne Core Installed into Chaos Ring]

[Authority Level: EX – Universal Override]

Yulin stared in silence. "He's no longer just a Sect Master…"

Kael fell to one knee. "He's the Sovereign now."

Rayan stood, power rolling off his body like waves.

"The old realm has one last breath. Let's take it away."

Reviving the Chaos Temple

Rayan slammed his palm onto the altar next to the throne.

All 12 throne pillars glowed—reactivating the Chaos Temple beneath Earth.

Above them, Antarctica cracked open slightly—forming a hidden mountain crater surrounded by illusion arrays.

The Chaos Sect once again had a real-world temple on Earth.

From this place, Rayan could summon, store, and train cultivators, launch inter-realm operations, and defend the planet from Abyssal invasion.

The Chaos Temple Core whispered:

"Rebuild the world, Sovereign. We have waited… for you alone."

Meanwhile: A Global Earthquake

All across the Earth, high-level cultivators, sealed demons, and ancient sects felt it—a pull, a calling, a fear.

In the Himalayas, monks fell to their knees. In Beijing, a forbidden patriarch opened his eyes after 800 years. In Cairo, necromancers screamed in agony as their soul wells cracked. In Brazil, a sleeping jungle demon bled without reason.

And one word echoed in the minds of every True Immortal:

"Chaos… has returned."

Arya & Asha: Feeling the Shift

In different parts of India, two women suddenly stood still.

Arya Kapoor stared at her spiritual mirror. The glass cracked—unable to reflect the level of divine authority now radiating from the South.

"He… He did something no one should be able to."

Meanwhile, Asha Rani collapsed mid-training. Her Ice Phoenix within her body screamed in awe.

She saw the throne. She saw him sitting on it.

"Rayan… what have you become?"

Final Scene: The Throne's First Order

As Dominion operatives completed mapping the newly revived temple, Rayan stood before the central crystal tower.

He input the first Sovereign Command.

[Activate: Soul Beacon of War]

[Target: All Sleeping Dominion Units]

[Message: The Sovereign has Returned. Prepare for the Realm Purge.]

Thousands of soul-linked Dominion disciples around the world opened their eyes—each seeing the Chaos Throne's burning sigil carved into their vision.

Across the skies, the stars subtly shifted as if bowing to a new force.

And deep within the void…

Something ancient stirred.

Something older than Chaos.

And it wasn't happy.
