Void Evolution System

The starry sky remained still. Time passed, and people dispersed, but the atmosphere didn't change.

Tian Yang stood facing the 50,000-kilometer-long dark zone in space. His eyes didn't leave the point where Damien had vanished. In those eyes, countless feelings were reflected.

Anger, sorrow, guilt, and unwillingness were only a few of these. To think he, even after pushing his power to the extreme, couldn't protect his own disciple. What kind of man was he?

"Old Void, you know as well as I do that it is not your fault. Besides, you know your disciple better than anyone else. Would he really die here without achieving anything?" The Drunken Old Immortal patted Tian Yang's shoulder and spoke words of consolation.

To the side, Albeus nodded his head in agreement. "For the short amount of time I knew that boy, he only created miracles. Even this time, his actions allowed us to defeat the Fifth Primal Sovereign far more efficiently. Without him, we would've lost a few more experts in the process. If he could achieve this only a few hours after his Baptism, I don't believe he can't survive that mysterious tear."

Facing their consolation, Tian Yang didn't say a word. As the Drunken Old Immortal stated, he knew Damien better than anyone else. He also knew that Damien wasn't a person common sense could define.

However, these old Divinities, despite their power, couldn't sense the terrifying fluctuations emitted by that tear. Even Tian Yang could barely understand its nature, and that was only because he was deeply connected with space.

This small glimpse that he witnessed, it was enough to leave him terrified. He couldn't imagine what kind of place that tear led to.

At this moment, two figures silently appeared behind the three. They didn't speak, only standing quietly, seemingly waiting for Tian Yang to approach them first.

"So you finally came out. Is it because you believe yourselves safe after the battle ended?" Tian Yang said.

Parsiel responded with a wry smile, "Senior, don't joke with us. If we attempted to interfere, we would've only gotten in the way of your efforts."

Tian Yang scoffed. "And so? Why did you decide to show yourselves now?"

His attitude was clear. He had no good feelings towards these two beings who stood on the sidelines and attempted to reap benefits after the fact. Judging from their physical characteristics, they weren't from the Human Domain either.

Parsiel had been expecting a cold welcome, though. It would be stranger if he was welcomed kindly considering the current circumstance. However, he still had to show himself.

After all…

"Senior may not know this, but that mysterious tear was a tear in the fabric of reality itself. Under normal circumstances, Senior's disciple would have been thrown into the Abyss with no chance of survival. However, this junior has made sure to prevent that worst-case scenario."

He paused slightly, but didn't wait too long. Tian Yang was far stronger than him and any mind games would only lessen his chances at cooperation. Without holding back, he began to explain.

"My name is Parsiel, and I am one of the 9 Holy Emperors of the Divine Realm. This time, I've come to the Human Domain to inform your people of the Grand Heaven Boundary's overarching situation. It is just that I so happened to arrive at this critical juncture and was unable to contact Senior and the others immediately.

"In regards to senior's disciple, there is no need to worry. Junior has placed a drop of blood essence engraved with holy guidance runic patterns in his body. This blood essence will guarantee that when the boy exits the Abyssal Corridor, he will arrive in my Divine Realm. Only, junior has no knowledge of where your disciple will arrive."

"The only problem is what occurs within the Abyssal Corridor. Due to the fact that they form only when the fabric of reality is torn, not much is known about them. Junior cannot guarantee whether or not your disciple will survive the journey."

It was a harsh fact, but Parsiel knew he had no room to lie in this situation. Against Tian Yang, he was powerless. At the end of the day, he was only an extreme peak 4th class existence. Tian Yang's league was far above his.

Tian Yang listened without a word throughout Parsiel's speech. Hearing that Damein was alive and his destination would be within another Sector, he actually sighed a breath of relief.

In truth, Damien was too much for the Human Domain. Whether it be his growth speed, his potential, his power level, or even the mysterious power in his body, they collectively outstripped the scope of the Human Domain by miles.

That wasn't to say that the youths of the Human Domain were useless. Those like Long Chen, Aishia, or any of Damien's wives were peak talents even outside the Human Domain. However, Damien was intrinsically different than them.

Despite how much he changed over time, his core was perfectly suited for chaos. An environment where he could compete with those at his same level and experience countless struggles to rise, this was his perfect playing field.

The Human Domain couldn't provide this for him. It wasn't just the unity of its people, but also their overall strength level. 4th classes were mostly the older generation. Amongst his peers, Damien had no challengers.

The wider universe, on the other hand, was a completely different monster. When Tian Yang was young, he'd also traversed the various sectors of the Grand Heaven's Boundary and experienced the Dimensional Leaderboard for himself. He understood just how valuable practicing in other sectors was for a practitioner's growth.

Damien had reached that level. And the Divine Realm was the perfect stage for a genius of his caliber. Only there would he find ample competition to keep him on his toes.

As for the journey through the Abyssal Corridor, Tian Yang didn't even put it in his eyes. If his disciple could come out on top after fighting a Demigod, even disregarding all the external aids he received, he wasn't someone who'd die from a mere Abyssal Corridor.

Thinking thus far, Tian Yang's chaotic mood calmed down. He turned his attention back to Parsiel, scanning him from top to bottom.

"A Holy Emperor, huh. It's rare for someone like you to leave the safety of Luxurion at all, let alone travel to another Sector. Tell me, have things devolved to such a point already?"

His tone was much more cordial. After all, this man did save Damien's life, and his original intent seemed righteous as well. Tian Yang didn't mind entertaining someone like this.

Parsiel sighed a breath of relief as he heard this. After watching the previous battles, he'd already roughly grasped the Human Domain's strength. They weren't nearly as strong as they were in the past, but their spirit and fighting intent hadn't dulled in the slightest.

Aside from that, the quality of their forces wasn't half bad. Especially their Demigods, they would be a great deterrent in the war.

Concerning the deficits he found, Parsiel didn't even pay them any mind. In the previous war, the Human Domain wasn't just cut off from the rest of the universe, it was cut off from every outside force.

This included the Dimensional Leaderboard.

Humanity's current situation wasn't too much worse than the elves or the plant races in power. If they had the Dimensional Leaderboard to foster their growth, just how powerful would they be?

Without any bias, Parsiel began his interaction with Tian Yang. He explained how the Elven Domain was obliterated, how the Plant Races were currently under siege, and many other facts about the war that had already begun encroaching upon the universe.

These two slowly made their way to the Cloud Plane to continue their conversation. But in the back of his mind, Tian Yang was worried about another matter entirely.

It was a matter that hurt his heart and mind, making him want to turn tail and escape the Human Domain as fast as possible.

‘Haa…how am I going to tell Yue'er about that brat's matter?'

On the horizon, Tian Yang could feel his own death approaching.
