The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 361: Reunion.

Chapter 361: Reunion.

At this time, Tiana and Avelia were facing an old man with a long white beard and white hair.

He had a kind expression as he asked with a smile, "Do you know why you two were called here? "

Avelia and Tiana looked at each other before looking at the man and shook their heads, " We don't know. "

The old man waved his right hand as a silver light enveloped them, and they disappeared from the hall.

...

At another place, Mike and Qerin were sitting in an open courtyard building in a garden. Besides the garden, this place had lots of different trees, a pond with fishes, and the sky filled with white clouds.

Three blue, glowing spheres in the sky were behind the clouds as they showered a gentle but bright blue light that illuminated this place.

Suddenly, The old man, Tiana, and Avelia appeared inside the garden. Mike and Qerin directly saw them as they were startled, but soon, a smile blossomed on their faces.

" Tiana, Avelia! We finally meet again. " Qerin rushed out of the small open-air pavilion building and arrived in front of Avelia and Tiana before hugging them.

Mike also greeted them, but suddenly after that, He had a weird feeling inside him. It was as if something was missing. But it lasted for a second, so he ignored it as the old man coughed to gather their attention.

" First, You can call me old man Rufes. Second...Let's sit down and then talk. "

Tiana and others who seriously listened almost fell to the ground hearing his second thing.

Smiling wryly, They entered the pavilion and sat down.

Old man Rufes caressed his beard as he looked at with a kind smile and nodded, " Good. Now for a reason as to why you four are here. First, I will ask you some questions. You can answer them if you want to or not if you don't want to. Though, If you are going to answer, then I want a truthful answer. Anyway, These questions are not the main reason I am here, so don't worry. "

Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike nodded.

"The first question, Where are you from? Your birthplace? "

Tiana and others were surprised by such a simple question, but they nonetheless answered.

Qerin spoke on behalf of others, " I am from Chaosverse while Tiana, Avelia, and Mike are from a Universe. "

The old man slightly frowned hearing their answer, but then he smiled again, " Alright. Now the second question, have any of you heard of Orchos Firmament? "

" Orchos Firmament? "

Tiana and others revealed a confused expression hearing the term.

" We have not heard of such term before. "

Tiana and others shook their heads.

The old man Rufes frowned and thought, ' This is not making any sense...Anyway, I'll straightly ask them. '

Clearing his throat, He once again smiled and asked, " Then...you should have surely heard about Genome powers, right? "

Hearing this, The expressions on the faces of Tiana and others turned stiff.

The old man noticed it and waved his hand before smiling, " No need to be nervous, Hahaha. I know everyone here thinks your genome power is some kind of innate Physique, but I know what they are. But considering that you don't know about Orchos Firmament and are even from the universe makes this whole matter strange. "

The old man waved his hand as he bought out a tea set and cups from his storage space or ring and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

" Drink this and Relax while I tell you something about the genome powers. "

Tiana and others were slightly nervous, but they picked up the cups that floated in front of them.

The old man Rufes nodded with a smile seeing that, and spoke, " Frankly speaking, The genome powers are not something that you can use at your current strength and existence. As for how you can use it, It's outside of my knowledge, so it's very shocking to me. You might have filled your respective genome tree's third branch, but I doubt you can progress more with your current level, Am I right? "

Tiana and others were surprised as to why old man Rufes knew about their condition, But They nodded in agreement.

" Yes. After we went to the genome dimension realm and got more power, We can't make even the slightest progress in the fourth branch. "

Hearing that, Old man Rufes sighed in relief with a smile, " Hahaha, That's natural. After all, You four do not actually meet the requirement to train in genome power. Honestly, It's a miracle as to how you were able to start train in it and even fill its third branch. "

After that, The old man Rufes asked how they were able to train in Genome power.

Hearing that question, Tiana and others looked at each other before Tiana spoke on behalf of others, " We can't say anything about it. "

" Alright. It's fine. " The old man waved his hand with a smile, " Forget about that topic. The genome powers originate from Orchos Firmament. But since you don't know anything about it, then it's useless. Now, the main reason as to why I am here.

First, I am also not from Orchos Firmament, but I know someone who is from there, and I can also use genome power. "

After saying that, The old man showed his index finger and pointed it upward before brown energy with yellow glowing stripe patterns on it appeared.

Tiana and others instantly felt that the nature of this energy was similar to their own genome energy.

The old man smiled and put away that energy before speaking again, " I am from the headquarters of the Great Bridgade Palace, which is situated at the Upper Chaosverse. I came here for my usual observation and decided to take a look at the ongoing tournament. As a genome power trainer myself, I easily sensed its energy from you when your passive genome abilities were activated. "

Hearing that, Tiana and others were startled to hear many new things like the upper Chaosverse and how the old man turned out to be a very big shot.

They also became even more nervous.

The old man noticed it and smiled, " Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. But, you four don't need to participate in this program anymore. I told the Branch Master here to allow four of you to join the Great Bridgade Palace without revealing your secret. After all, He can't reject me. "

He then stood up and waved his hand as they were enveloped in a silver light before they disappeared and appeared in the previous vast hall.

" Your secret is safe with me, and from now on, you are official members of Great Bridgade Palace. But you still have to work hard and survive here to reach the Upper Chaosverse. You won't get special treatment just because I let you join the Great Bridgade Palace. Instead, You will face some difficulties, I think...hahaha. "

Avelia and others became speechless. Tiana's lips twitched a bit before she asked with a wry expression, " Can we just proceed regularly like others and not join the Great Bridgade palace directly? "

Avelia, Qerin, and Mike also nodded in agreement with Tiana.

But the old man Rufes laughed and shook his head, " Nah. I am lazy to do that. You are joining the branch here and work hard to survive and become stronger. Once you reach the Upper Chaoserse, I will take you as my pupils. "

After saying that, He disappeared, but his voice reverberated in the hall, " After leaving the hall, A person will be waiting outside, and he will take you to the branch of Great Bridgade Palace. Good luck, kids. "
