Void Evolution System



The ceasefire was signed and put into motion almost immediately, and results showed with the same haste.

The Saint Emperor shared a few parting words, letting the universe remember that this loss didn't discount the threat the Nox represented, and left with his people.

The expression on the Saint King's face as he was carried away was dull, almost void. It seemed there was a lot he needed to sort out in his head before he could return to his normal state.

…or perhaps, his "normal" state was something the universe would never see again.

Reports came in within minutes of Demigods fleeing Infected Source Worlds and many hidden locations throughout the universe, While it felt prideful to watch them leave, it also alerted the denizens of Grand Heavens Boundary to just how deeply the Nox had infiltrated their homeland.

While the Grand Assembly was winding down for the most part, Damien still had a load of trouble to deal with. Namely, explaining away the many mysteries he'd showcased over the past few months.

Luckily, he had both explanations and alibis galore, prepared for several days for this very moment.

Firstly, the Sanctuary was explained away as a God-rank spatial talisman.

He claimed it had a limited number of uses, and when he teleported Xue'er in and out of Holy Light Star, or when he teleported Xiao Yue to safety, he'd used up almost all its energy.

This story was backed by several factors. Firstly, Damien claimed this talisman as the reason he could move around the universe so fast.

It was still unheard of for a spatial practitioner to have Damien's level of movement ability, so when he gave a rational reason for how he got from the Celestial Realm to Eien, or from Soul World to the Beast Domain, it was widely accepted by the council of experts that was judging him.

Su Ren also spoke up, saying his master had arranged Xiao Yue's secret return, which, when considering his master's identity, wasn't actually that strange.

The issue of the Sanctuary was solved there, but Damien had to be careful when he used the ability in the future to avoid further suspicion.

Once the first problem was passed, he had to explain many more things, the first of which were Reva and Xue'er herself.

Reva was forgotten by most because of the negative presence she held and her early disappearance from relevance, but these experts still remembered her. As Damien was from the Human Domain, he was naturally asked about her.

In this matter, feigning ignorance was easy since his interaction with Reva was hidden from their sight from the beginning. They asked everyone from the Human Domain about her, so he didn't have to worry about weaving a complicated history for her.

As for Xue'er, was there a need to lie about her identity? She was his precious little sister, nothing more nothing less.

The main issue was rationalizing abilities like Absolute Mastery and Elemental Wargod. He had to give an explanation for the great variety of natural forces and mysterious powers that he commanded.

The experts of Grand Heavens Boundary definitely didn't doubt Damien's loyalty, as he wouldn't have shown so many cards if he was a traitor, but they did doubt how someone from a small planet in the Human Domain could grow so much and gain so many things that were unheard of for many.

Damien could only entertain their suspicions and give them semi-reasonable excuses to satisfy their curiosity.

Regardless of their status or the importance of this moment, Damien wasn't someone who'd bend to authority.

Why should he give them so much information on him? Why would he let them hold power over him?

Damien was always an independent genius and he'd never truly given his allegiance to any force because of the disgust he felt working for others.

So, while he did answer their questions, he didn't give them what he wanted.

He blamed mysterious masters, heaven-defying lucky opportunities, and even the universe itself for his rise to power.

And what could these experts do but accept it? There was no other logical explanation for his existence.

The only ones who still held doubts in their hearts were Luciel, Lucifer, and a few experts who personally knew Damien, but they didn't comment on his lies for a variety of reasons.

Nevertheless, the hellish interrogation lasted several hours before Damien was finally let go.

His status in the universe now far surpassed Su Ren's, and though he hadn't visited any Mystic Realms or Challenge Gates in the recent past…

His name now sat crisply in the first place position on the Dimensional Leaderboard.

Damien Void was no longer someone who could move about the universe as he pleased, a stranger in every new land he visited.

Within a few months of the Grand Assembly, he became a household name that could be recognized at first sight.

He was the genius who defeated the Saint King!

***

With the final event marked by Damien and Bai Yumo's battle, which led to something that surprised any and everyone who heard it, the Grand Assembly came to a close.

Many forces had already left Luxurion when the conference started since they didn't have the right to participate, and now that it was over, the rest made their way out as well.

Chatter was vibrant among them as they made their exit, and despite the painful events that had taken place earlier and led to the loss of thousands of promising young talents, their atmosphere was jolly.

The Grand Assembly gave them hope for the future, hope for victory!

However, there were a few forces who didn't share their joy, mostly those who were aligned with Blood Asura Holy Land.

Immortal Blood Asura spoke no words as he coldly led his people away from Luxurion, but anyone who saw the look in his eyes backed away in fear.

He was absolutely furious.

Damien would definitely face troubles from them in the future, but now that they were faced with such an outcome, it was impossible for them to openly hinder him without offending nearly every big force in the universe.

Though, this only meant Immortal Blood Asura's revenge would be ten or even a hundredfold worse than it would've been!

Damien himself didn't pay any mind to Blood Asura Holy Land at this time.

While everyone else made their way back to their homes to prepare for the grand plans that would be enacted soon enough, he and 49 other geniuses who represented the younger generation's absolute peak were gathered together in the first banquet hall.

Among them, all of the Human Domain's geniuses, Su Ren, Atticus, and a few others were familiar.

At the head of their group was Pandora, who stood with her fellows and the Sect Elders who accompanied them to Luxurion.

This was the group Prismatic Sun Holy Land had invited to their lands, the first outsiders to gain this privilege for tens of thousands of years, if not more!

Perhaps the Grand Assembly was over, but this was only the start. The true war between Grand Heavens Boundary and the Nox was just on the verge of entering its true stage, where war would envelop all of existence.

Damien glanced at Pandora from his place in the crowd with a smile.

He truly was anticipating this next step of his Legend!
