In the Void Empire.
In the gloomy hall, Zadier sat on the high platform of the hall. Beneath him was a throne made of pure Dark Void Crystal. This throne originally belonged to Zadier and Kasisna, but now, it belonged to Zadier alone.
Today was Zadier's first day out of closed-door cultivation, and on this day, he heard very bad news.
The six billion troops of the Void Empire expeditionary army had been completely wiped out!
When the head of the intelligence agency, Maggie, reported this news to Zadier, she was already prepared to die. She had thought of many possible reactions from Zadier. Based on her understanding of Zadier, he would definitely kill to vent his anger.
Zadier had a special characteristic when he was angry. He did not vent his emotions by roaring like ordinary people. Instead, he liked to sneer. The gloomier his smile, the angrier he would be. When he completely exploded, Zadier's methods would also be exceptionally cruel!
On the way here, Maggie had thought about how she would die in Zadier's hands. Perhaps she would be torn into pieces, or skinned alive. If Zadier was willing to kill her instantly, it could be said to be a great gift.
Maggie knelt in the hall, silently waiting for Zadier's sneer to ring out. However, after waiting for a long time, she did not hear any sneer from Zadier.
"I already know about the matter. You may leave."
Just as Maggie was feeling apprehensive and doubtful, Zadier's voice suddenly rang in her ears. When she heard Zadier's words, Maggie could not help but be stunned on the spot.
Leave?
He was actually retreating?
Maggie was very surprised and even a little shocked. She was already prepared to face death, but in the end, nothing happened?
This situation made Maggie suspect that what she had reported was not bad news, but great news. Otherwise, with Zadier's character, how could he let her off so easily!
"What, do you still have some news that you haven't finished?"
When she heard Zadier's words again, Maggie seemed to have woken up from a dream and quickly said, "No, I … I'll take my leave!"
As she spoke, Maggie stood up and slowly retreated to the back. While she was retreating, she was also waiting for Zadier's sudden attack. However, even after she exited the hall, the attack she imagined did not come.
This caused Maggie, who had just survived a disaster, to be filled with curiosity and doubt. She even suspected that the person in the hall was not Zedi!
However, what Maggie did not know was that the reason Zdill did not kill her to vent his anger was that the sacrifice of the expeditionary army's six billion troops was not a big deal to him. It was not worth taking to heart, much less getting angry over.
If it had been in the past, perhaps Zadier would have killed Maggie to vent his anger over such a huge loss. However, now that he had become a rank 1 Magus, Zadier no longer cared about the lives of the soldiers at the bottom. As long as he was still alive, the Void Empire would never fall!
"A rank 1 Magus."
He lowered his head and looked at his hands. Wisps of blackish-purple Void Energy drifted out from his palms, emitting a frightening energy fluctuation.
"This is true divine power. It's a power that only gods can possess."
Zadier looked at the divine power in his palms with infatuation. Compared to true divine power, the so-called demigod power was completely trash!
Just as Zadier was immersed in his own world and could not extricate himself, a majestic aura slowly descended into the hall and woke him up.
Zadier raised his eyes and looked forward. He saw a blurry figure standing in the air in the center of the hall. A pair of amber-like eyes were calmly looking at him.
The blurry figure looked at Zadier and said indifferently, "It's time to do what you promised me."
When Zadier heard this, an expectant smile slowly appeared on his face. He said to the blurry figure, "I can help you complete what I promised you, but before that, I want to try and see if I'm stronger or weaker than you!"
Hearing Zadier's words, the blurry figure fell silent. After a while, his amber-like eyes gradually turned dark red. They were like two blood-red vortexes that deeply attracted Zadier.
Zadier faced the pair of dark red eyes and did not move. Instead, the expression on his face became extremely solemn and even a little dignified. After a while, Zadier's face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
When the blood flowed out from the corner of Zadier's mouth, the blurry figure slowly dissipated.
"Phew."
Zadier exhaled softly. He glanced at the empty center of the hall and could not help but have an extremely complicated expression on his face.
"As expected, compared to this guy, I'm still far too weak."
After lamenting, Zadier slowly stood up. Since he had already lost, he could only obediently follow the other party's request and go to the other side of the universe to bring Qinchuan back!
At the same time, it could be considered as revenge for the expeditionary army's nearly ten billion soldiers.
…
Holy Cluster, Sage Monarch Continent.
The Sage Emperor stood on top of a tall mountain, looking up at the sky. He could vaguely sense that something was trying to break through the barrier between the two worlds and descend into this world.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the work of the Void Empire.
Behind the Sage Emperor, Huizhong stood motionless. Her eyes were slightly closed as if she was cultivating. Her aura was stirring, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It was extremely strange.
In a place where outsiders could not see, under the cover of Huizhong's clothes, there were thousands of small protrusions on her body. These protrusions did not have a regular shape, but most of them were elliptical. The strangest thing was that these protrusions were slowly moving. They were not static!
Every time Huizhong's aura became stronger, more than half of these protrusions would disappear. Then, as Huizhong's aura weakened, the protrusions that disappeared would reappear. It was very special.
"Don't just blindly try to absorb and devour them. You have to learn to coexist with them."
The Sage Emperor slowly turned around and looked at Huizhong, instructing her.
Hearing the Sage Emperor's words, Huizhong slowly opened her eyes and looked at the Sage Emperor. She asked, "Did you experience this before?"
The Sage Emperor nodded. "This is something that must be experienced in order to obtain power."
Hearing the Sage Emperor's answer, Huizhong's expression could not help but turn cold. When she first heard the Sage Emperor say that he had a way to help her become a demigod, or even a supreme existence, she was extremely excited. However, if she had known that things would turn out like this, she would rather not have ascended for the rest of her life than become such a monstrous existence!
