The composition of the entire universe is not constructed through arbitrary rules; every single physical rule is precisely calibrated. A fraction more, a fraction less, a flaw in some constant, or a problem with a single physical law, and the universe could never have been formed. It would have collapsed directly into a state of chaos at the very moment of its birth.
The methods of the Emperor-level beings operate on this principle. Their ability to effortlessly dismantle an entire Great World begins with the fundamental laws of physics—such as altering the equation "one plus one equals three." By reforging the earth, wind, water, and fire of that world, they trigger a chain reaction that causes the entire Great World to collapse and disintegrate.
In fact, not just a Great World—even if a Great World evolves into a vast, boundless universe, reforging earth, wind, water, and fire can still destroy the entire cosmos. This is the creation out of nothingness, the Emperor-level method of reforging the elements, and the supreme Authority held by Emperor-level beings.
