Solanky looked at the dying star, which had only a hundred years of its lifespan left, and let out a cool breath, which quenched down the flames of the star. He pointed towards it, and with a singular his domain of the velvet cloud and flames surrounded it, and he began to refine the star into a planet.
Although most saints could do this, Solanky deliberately changed the laws of the planet. This planet being that massive had its own sun, moon, and stars all enveloped in a velvet mist. He then took out the blood of several entities he had killed and infused it with the core of the planet, making it more resilient than most planets created or refined by most saint emperor transcendent entities. Looking into the distance about 1000 light-years away from him, he saw another planet that had suffered damage as a result of the residual energies of two battling saint emperors.
Solanky reached out towards the dying planet in the distance and made a grabbing motion; the planet vanished from its position and reappeared before him. With a single thought, he scanned all the trillions of living and nonliving things of the planet and remodeled his newly formed planet after it. Without omitting a tiny detail, he stopped the time of that dying planet and teleported everything to his planet and resumed the time pause on the beings.
The beings never noticed they had all migrated to a new planet. Solanky, with his spiritual sense at the half-step peak-turn level, was able to identify all the leaders of the planet and engrained the knowledge of this new planet into their minds, removing the previous planet's outer space information from their minds. This was a feat not all beings below the peak-turns could achieve unless they were alchemists, which needed careful integration of different energies.
Solanky, now with his physical body fully reaching the transcendent level, could now merge the power of both bodies, but he refused to do so, because the moment he did so, he would trigger the peak summit trials, and he would miss the opportunity to help the forsaken realm. He then turned in a certain direction and teleported towards that direction, which was hundreds of millions of light-years away. The area he reappeared in, unlike other places of the beyond realm, which were in outer space, was different, with its own clouds and terrain, making it look like a planet's surface. Wearing a grey robe, Solanky descended from the skies, and the moment he did so, he spread out his spiritual sense, but he realized that the perception of his spiritual sense was suppressed, and he could sense only ten million kilometers of the land in which he found himself. He immediately realized that this was special land or a secret region, where most of his questions of the beyond realm might be answered or secrets revealed. Instead of flying, he landed from the skies and walked on bare land; this land was now ordinary land, as it had the spiritual signature of the higher spiritual plane.
After walking for several kilometers, Solanky found out that this land was inhabited by a group of special lifeforms. These lifeforms were at the entity level, with their life force being 1000 times that of regular beings; these lifeforms seemed not to mind the other powerful beings visiting their world. The most powerful amongst these lifeforms was a venerable transcendent saint with 990 million times the strength of an ISG. The leader of these special lifeforms sensed Solanky's presence; he was shocked because the aura emanated by Solanky from the distance was the most powerful aura he had ever sensed from a saint emperor regardless of their lifeform. The leader then made a decision to befriend Solanky.
Solanky, after walking for hours, sensed a being approaching him from a distance, and it was none other than the leader. Solanky stopped in his tracks as the leader closed the gap to meet him. Upon reaching before Solanky, the leader felt the pressure of Solanky's presence. He knelt on one knee and greeted Solanky, although it was a special lifeform; facing Solanky made him feel like he was an inferior lifeform facing the noblest lifeform he had ever seen. Solanky smiled at him and asked him to get up and show him around.
The leader of the special lifeform introduced himself as Karan. He said, "You must not be familiar with the secret regions of the beyond realm. Well, this is only one zone of the thousand zones of the secret region; this part of the secret region is 50 billion light-years wide with unique places different from the others. It is also known to be the most inhabited, as it is the only habitable zone among the thousand zones of the beyond realm's secret region. Here, take this; it's a map I carved during my adventures. Although I don't have the strength to explore all thousand zones, I have explored two-thirds of it." A map made from the skin of a wild beast at the mid-stage entity flew towards Solanky; he caught it and inspected it, capturing the information of the explored zones into memory.
Solanky smiled at Karan and handed over a pill he refined with the residual energies of the transcendent grasses of eternity to him. Solanky said, "This pill will help you elevate your cultivation to the saint emperor level. I am doing this to repay your kindness and also indirectly help the special lifeforms here from being captured by saint emperors." Karan hearing this was elated, but he knew becoming a transcendent was no easy feat, as it required a higher comprehension and a domain formation, which was based on their world's understanding in comparison to the beyond realm. Solanky saw the hesitation in his eyes and smiled, then said, "You are a special lifeform; your comprehension doesn't have to be at the saint emperor level or above. With your special lifeform body alone, you can brute force your way to that level and slowly accumulate your comprehension. I can help you with that, but promise me no one will ever know about it." Karan hearing this was in disbelief because he knew his limits and the limits imposed by the powerful true peak-turns of the beyond realm on special lifeforms, but without hesitation he pledged to Solanky.
Solanky revealed a look of delight and asked Karan to sit cross-legged before him and reveal his true form instead of his humanoid form. But before he proceeded, he asked Karan to bring it to his residence and set up a formation before he started absorbing the pill with his help. Karan, with his control over this zone of secret region, wrapped Solanky and himself in world power and travelled several billion light-years in seconds without disturbing the space of the secret region. Solanky was impressed because the spatial and world power manipulation of Karan was very good even compared to other saint emperors above him.
They then arrived at a small mountain several kilometers tall behind his towering residence, which was tens of light-years tall. Without wasting much time, they entered into the cave to begin the pill absorption. Solanky wanted to use Karan to test a theory he pondered about during his breakthrough.
Karan revealed his true form, which was several million kilometers in length. The space within the cave was an anomaly, as it was bigger on the inside compared to the miniscule several kilometers of the mountain from the outside. Solanky looked at Karan's true form, which was the head of a baboon with the lower body of a dragon with two wings made up of scaly bones and a long tail. Seeing several special lifeforms and even seeing a calamitous lifeform this oddly looking one wasn't that odd to him. He said, "Swallow the pill, and let's begin." Karan complied and did as he was told.
Solanky then enveloped Karan in his velvet world domain, but this time there was erosion or corrosive power acting on Karan. Karan witnessing Solanky's domain felt that with a single thought he could be crushed or controlled by Solanky. The energies of the pill began erupting inside the body of Karan, and Solanky, seeing this, told him to circulate them through his body. Solanky, using his comprehension from the entity of the moon, carved out a refinement technique and process that elevates one's lifeform to twice the suppression limit imposed in the beyond realm. With the source defying flames and caution, he refined the life energies and structure of Karan. After three days of continuous refinement, Karan's lifeform strength, which was stuck at 990 million times, tripled to 2.97 billion times the strength of an ISG. Officially making him have strengths comparable to saint emperors with his physical body alone.
Solanky exited the cave with Karan and said, "With your spatial manipulation and control, no regular saint emperor can compete with you in your own zone. I suggest you carefully use your understanding of the zone to carve your own domain. And remember our deal." After saying that, Solanky took a single stride and appeared millions of light-years away from the zone under Karan's control. Karan was still shocked about how Solanky could elevate his power to shocking heights without demanding anything in return.
