Void Evolution System



With the revelation of the location, Eryssea Luminus was finally able to show the talking power of a Holy Land Master.

She didn't have much of a connection with Stone Giant Holy Land, but compared to Prismatic Sun Holy Land, it was just a small cat. When Iris spoke, they didn't have the ability to disobey.

Besides, the Giants had a positive relationship with the Prismatic Sun Holy Land's several previous generations, so with a few promised benefits, it wasn't hard to make them spit out the truth behind the image Damien had shown.

Within around half a day, Iris was able to get everything sorted out and called Damien and the girls, who were left to their own devices in this time, back to her residence.

"According to their Holy Master, that place isn't theirs, but a shared realm that the entire Giant Domain utilizes. It's considered the most opportune location for experts, but also their grave," she began, giving each of the four a jade slip containing all the information she'd received.

"The best part is that you don't need to go through any tedious procedures to gain the ability to enter the realm. Since you know the location of the entrance, you can go as you please. The only advice the Giants had was to absolutely have no regrets before entering, as most who try to venture deep into that realm die without corpses."

Damien and the girls nodded in acknowledgement, sinking their senses into the jade slips and following Iris' explanation.

The quest was simple.

Enter that realm, brave its dangers, and bring back the Second Primal Sovereign.

Everything after that would be left to Iris and her compatriots.

The more Damien read about the sub-universe and its strange laws, the more excited he got.

It was divided into four parts, each more dangerous than the last, and had an ecosystem completely unique from Grand Heavens Boundary. The small glimpses that were provided in the jade slips were filled with an air of wonder, but also an extremely clear aura of death.

But Damien was someone who'd seen too many heavenly sceneries to put too much thought into it.

What really held his attention was a specific law of this sub-universe, one that would infinitely increase the danger and excitement level of this excursion.

'This kind of thing…is it even possible?'

It was the first time he'd seen something like it. He couldn't say anything about it until he'd experienced it for himself, but he was sure of one thing.

This experience…really was going to be a unique one!

Damien and the girls finished their conversation with Iris soon enough, as after all the information was gathered, her job was over.

She granted their group a starship for travel and sent them off to the Giant Domain, watching them leave.

It was strange to see geniuses like them, people who took just a few decades to do what others could barely accomplish in centuries, but they were a shining beacon that lit up the starry sky, that much was for certain.

For those of the older generation, it felt like their era was ending, like a new one was going to start with this new wave of supreme geniuses.

How did that make them feel?

Some of them clung to their power and status for dear life, some sat back and silently watched the change, while some others even actively helped that change take place.

Where did she, the Prismatic Sun Holy Master, land in these categories?

It wasn't like she could answer the question. Frankly, she didn't feel like she was a part of the older generation, despite her actual age.

She was still impulsive like a growing expert, she still had the emotions that most people cut off, and most of all, she lacked many of the experiences that most people went through as they grew, since she adopted the role of Holy Master early in her life.

However, she wasn't some naive woman, she merely never had the time or interest to bother with those trivial things most people held close.

Well, until now, that is.

'Damien Void…'

It was a strange name belonging to a strange person, a person who could gaze directly into her eyes without being enslaved by her charm.

And for some reason, it didn't seem like he was just looking at the form she'd cultivated over all these years.

It felt like he was looking at "her."

She didn't know how to describe her emotion, but extreme curiosity overtook her.

The secrets of the first being in the universe to ever accomplish such a feat had to be far more interesting than anything she had to offer.

As she watched that starship disappear into the void of the starry sky, making use of teleportation to rapidly travel to the Giant Domain, a smile formed on her face.

She suddenly took a step back.

A trail of auras followed her movements, coalescing into a figure.

It was a woman with long black hair and blue eyes, a relatively ordinary appearance among practitioners.

This woman looked at Iris as Iris looked at her, and without missing a beat, they both smiled.

'Such curiosity cannot be left unhindered. Let me see for myself just how great of a man you are, Damien Void.'

The woman formed from her aura vanished, and Iris returned to her quarters without a word.

Now, all that was left to do was wait for results.

Exciting days were to come!

The sub-universe, over time, gained a reputation among those in the Giant Domain, not for its great treasures, but for the extremely low survival rate of those who entered.

Despite the fact that each and every one of them was an expert at least at the peak of 4th class, it was impossible to imagine what kind of dangers could give them such hopeless fates.

It was titled the Severed World; a place separate from reality, a place that severed fates and lives.

Many of the secrets of the realm were kept quiet, drawing more and more people to its mystery.

And regardless of whether these people survived or died, they never opened their mouths about what happened inside.

The larger influences like Stone Giant Holy Land were able to get a small amount of information on the place, mainly its first and second layers.

There were two things they saw as the overarching causes of death in the realm, disregarding its natural dangers.

The first was the Impulse Wave, a massive mana wave that would pulse from the center of the sub-universe at random times, crushing through anything in its path.

It was able to claim tens of thousands of lives in a single instant, and though it was rare, it was extremely feared.

As for the second reason, it was much more direct.

The reason these experts were dying so often was because their strength was unavailable in the first place!

Within the sub-universe, there was a particular restriction that all external entities were subjected to.

Unequivocally and without fail, the second an outsider entered the realm…

…their strength would be capped at 2nd class!
