The Tale of the Void Emperor

Lily just soullessly fell to the ground while Lanry left. Her mother arrived there since Lily didn't come back even after Lanry and his parents left. But when she saw Lily's state, she became furious and told her dad, "I told that bastard not to reveal the truth!"

Lily's father frowned but sighed, "What's done is done, and we can't change anything now."

Lily's mother approached Lily with worry and supported her to stand up, "Lily..."

"Don't touch me!" Lily burst out as tears fell like a waterfall as she looked at her mother and father, "HE DIED BECAUSE OF ME! AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW UNTIL NOW!"

"WHY?" Lily screamed in despair as she banged her hands on the floor, "They even tortured him so much before killing him! They are inhuman beasts and deserve to die!"

"Daughter...," Lily's father sighed.

"I will not marry that wicked bastard! I would rather die than marry him!" Lily said as she stormed off into her bedroom.

"It's fine. Time will heal all scars," Lily's dad sighed.

However, the truth about Athan's death and how they tortured him before killing him left a deep scar in her as she felt heavily guilty and fell into depression.

She had lost trust in her parents as well because of how they supported that wicked murderer. She thought that her parents were honest government authorities and felt proud of them, but all of that was gone.

She spent the next years lifelessly and in depression before dying due to a heart attack before her marriage to Lanry.

However, Lanry had nerves of who knows what as when he arrived at the funeral, he said, "I couldn't even taste her body...how regretful."

Lily's mother was also feeling guilty for her daughter's state, and when she heard Lanry's words, she turned mad and grabbed Lanry's neck in an attempt to kill him but naturally, she failed.

In anger, Lanry wanted to kill Lily's parents, but her father slapped him for the first time and realized that he indeed spoiled him too much to say such words at the funeral.

He punished him by arranging a strict schedule to cut away his fun, but something major happened in the next few years: everyone started to get supernatural power before turning mad. People started killing each other, and the population started to decrease drastically.

...

In a higher-axiom universe, on a random planet...

On this planet, two sects ruled over the planet: Dream Palace and Thousand Arms House.

There were many mountains on Dream Palace's territory, and in one of the mountain's caves, a door appeared from which a beautiful girl with blue-black hair came out in a dreamy bubble. She wore a long-sleeve dress and looked gorgeous in it. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be in sleep. From her current body appearance, she looked to be sixteen-seventeen years old.

After some time, her eyes slowly opened with confusion, and shortly after that, she began to process her memories and was shocked, "I...Didn't I die? This...where am I?"

However, some unfamiliar memories also started floor in her, and it was about how Mimi's parents picked up Athan's soul and how he arrived on a planet.

"Athan...so he was reborn after death?" Lily muttered as a smile appeared on her face, "Is he living happily now? I hope he is living happily."

She didn't see Athan's soul correctly in her memories as it seemed to be obstructed by some power. But from how Mimi's parents picked up Athan's soul and saw his past through his soul, she knew that it was Athan's soul and that Athan arrived in a supernatural world.

"Wait...since I am also reborn, I can meet him as well, right?"

Until her last breath, she was still feeling guilty for what happened to Athan. After all, she had stayed depressed until her death due to that incident.

When she thought about meeting Athan, she couldn't help but get happy and excited.

However, her excitement didn't last long because she became aware of the fact that Athan...died because of her, "I...I have to apologize to him. This second life is my chance to apologize as well. However...That dummy should have told me the truth at the start; I wouldn't have visited him for his safety. Sigh...however, that wicked bastard must have threatened Athan not to reveal such things to me as well. That bastard..." Lily gritted her teeth in anger when she thought about Lanry.

Suddenly, three people entered the cave: two girls and one boy who looked the same age as Lily.

When they saw Lily, they were surprised, "Who are you? How did you enter here?"

The girl squinted her eyes and said, "She is not exuding an aura of spiritual energy...she is a normal human."

"Eh...you are right. But she looked the same as us age-wise, and once everyone reaches the age of ten and goes through the ceremony, everyone awakens their spiritual path," The boy spoke.

Another girl in the group asked Lily, "Where are you from? You haven't gone through your awakening ceremony yet?"

Lilu was stumped, but she went along and nodded, "I-I don't remember anything about my past and how I arrived here. I...think I also haven't gone through any kind of awakening ceremony yet."

Lily stood up and dusted herself, but it created intense wind waves when she moved her hands.

*whoosh....woooshhh..*

The dust and sands in the cave started blowing everywhere. Lily was stunned as she realized that she was the cause. Shortly afterward, she easily adapted as well when she thought of controlling her strength, 'It looks like I am quite powerful.'

On the other hand, the three people in front of her were dumbfounded.

"Y-you posses a divine physique?"

Lily was confused and shook her head, "As I said, I don't remember anything about my past."

The three people looked at each other with excitement, "Let's bring her to Dream Palace. Master Zenovia will be pleased that we found a person with a divine physique."

"What's your name? do you remember your name?"

Lily shook her head, "I also don't remember my name, but...since that's the case, then I will just name myself. Ummm...I've decided. My name is Lily."

"Ok, Lily. We suggest that you should come with us to Dream Palace and go through an awakening ceremony first. With your divine physique, you definitely have a bright future," One of the girls spoke with a smile.

Lily nodded because the people in front of her looked like they were sixteen years old, and she felt that they were not bad people.. Since she also doesn't know anything about this world, she decided to go with them.
