Void Evolution System-Novel



15 days passed in an instant.

In the Sky Emperor Palace, a man sat calmly in a reclining chair with a bowl of spirit fruits in his hand. His whole attention was focused on the screen in front of him, depicting the valiant battle of a powerful heroine.

"Oooh!" He exclaimed lightly as the heroine slashed through another beast.

She'd been doing an extremely good job so far. She struggled at the beginning and faltered more than a few times, but she never allowed her momentum to completely die out. This way, she was able to find her second wind, third wind, and every wind after that until she eventually controlled the winds themselves.

'Compared to me, she's still a bit worse, but it's just a matter of combat experience. Once she's fought enough to learn how to properly use her strength, I won't be able to defeat her through normal means.'

He smiled at the thought. Unexpectedly, that old fart emperor was able to find a superb successor.

'That guy's legacy is a bit low-level, though…he was too greedy in life and didn't leave behind many strong techniques for his descendants. Even his remaining soul wisp was created without memory of those techniques.'

It was a silly thought, but the Sky Emperor's soul wisp was actually far more noble than the person himself.

'Hmm, it's clear that we have some sort of fate, so it wouldn't hurt if I passed a few things to her. I've collected too much to keep for myself anyway.'

In fact, with the number of techniques and skills he'd obtained recently, he was forced to build a library to house them all!

It had been an entire two years since he first arrived in this realm, but as he'd learned a few days back, only 3 days passed in the real world.

This kind of deviated time difference was only possible in a place like a Void Corridor. The Abyss' influence weakened the universal law, giving way to strange natural phenomena such as this.

'It's only been such a short time in the outside world. Will it be another ten years before the realm opens up again? But, I'm absolutely not willing to stay here for so long.'

With his abilities, escaping a secret realm had never been difficult, but for the same reason that the strange time dilation existed, he couldn't easily leave this realm.

His attention returned to the screen just as the heroine slammed her foot into the ground, generating ice spikes that annihilated several tens of enemies in front of her.

'Her eyes are the same as mine.'

She wasn't the only one who noticed it. He as well was someone who never expected to find someone else who shared his trait.

'But considering her surprise, these eyes aren't something I'm supposed to have.'

He smiled lightly, shoving another spirit fruit in his mouth.

'How interesting…'

His expression soured in the next moment.

"Dammit, old man! These fruits aren't even ripe yet! Meat, give me meat! I demand it!"

In the face of his rage, the Sky Emperor…

Remained entirely silent.

There was absolutely no way he'd waste more power on that brat. He knew full well that it'd only end with his mental defeat and descent into insanity.

Truly, he was a brat that made people unable to decide how to feel about him.

On one hand, he was an arrogant man with no consideration for others. He created the flow wherever he went and forced others to follow it. He had the makings of an emperor, but at the same time, he was more annoying than any sly old fox.

Yet, for people like the Sky Emperor, he held an irresistible appeal.

Those who remained in these legacy tombs were all remnant souls of old emperors. Despite their current state, they clearly remembered the wars they participated in.

They clearly remembered the terror of the Nox that even the strongest masters couldn't defeat.

They still remembered the universal destruction that was wrought while they remained helpless.

To them, this man was a godsend.

He was the universe's final effort, he was an unparalleled genius with unlimited growth potential, and with his speed of growth, it wasn't impossible for him to bloom into his potential before the Nox could suppress him.

For these experts who'd tasted defeat and ended up trapped in the Void Corridor until their inevitable deaths, this man was the true vessel through which their legacies could return to the world.

Only, he wasn't a simple person at all.

Tricking his eyes was impossible. Trying to scam him was even more impossible. It was like he could directly see into one's soul and extract their deepest secrets.

Through whatever strange method he used, he conquered the legacy tombs that could be conquered and stole the legacies of anyone he deemed worthy of being reintroduced to the world.

Those who had insidious personalities in life would not be allowed to corrupt the new generation as long as he was watching.

The Sky Emperor sighed. In fact, he could be considered lucky.

Because his current personality was so different from when he was alive, he was able to befriend this terrifying genius.

But from what he'd sensed…

Several of the remnant souls guarding other legacy tombs had been extinguished.

No trace of their auras could be felt anymore.

It made the Sky Emperor shiver in fear. He couldn't even rely on his previous standing to frighten this young genius, so all he could do was coexist peacefully.

Unfortunately…

'That brat is a grave robber! A scammer!'

Not only did he allow Xinyue to participate in the Sky Emperor's trial despite knowing that she wouldn't gain any major benefits from it, he even tricked the Sky Emperor himself into transferring control of the entire legacy tomb to him!

In some sense, it could be said that this man was the one controlling Xinyue's trial. It was his legacy that she was preparing to inherit.

Yet…

Was that truly a bad thing?

The Sky Emperor sighed. In the end, he could never decide how to feel about the young genius.

However, after the past 2 years, a certain name spread through the Wild Continent. Every emperor both feared and hoped to meet the genius who possessed purple eyes.

And to honor his achievements, they granted him a title.

The conquerer of the Wild Continent, the demon who terrorized fallen Divinities…

These remnant souls could think of no better title for him than Blight Rat!

Everywhere he went, he brought a scourge that robbed Divinities of their treasures and even sometimes their lives!

He was a cancer that polluted the peace of the Wild Continent!

Achoo!

"Who could possibly be thinking about me at this hour? I'm a pure man, you know? I don't do booty calls!"

The plague demon's murmur echoed through the palace.

The Sky Emperor's incorporeal body shivered.

…of course, everything he'd been thinking properly was thought with the best intentions in mind.

In fact, Blight Rat was a powerful name, and anyone who heard the name would agree that it was the greatest possible compliment.

Adding these statements at the end of his thoughts would save him from the plague demon's wrath, right?

Well, at least, that was how the Sky Emperor calmed himself while eagerly waiting for his inheritor to complete the trial so he could finally kick this demon out of his house.

An incorporeal tear dropped from his incorporeal eye.

Truly, he couldn't wait.The source of this content is novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin
