Chapter 553: Athan's words. Returning.

Lady Fu had closed her eyes and entered deep meditation as she sensed an epiphany coming in full swing.

Athan saw dreamy blue and black sparks appearing around Lady Fu and saw that she started meditating.

"Will she breakthrough? Well, let's hope she does," Athan muttered before he stood up and left.

...

A month and ten days passed before they finally neared Chaos Monolith hills.

Today, Lady Fu also opened her eyes filled with excitement and joy. She could finally breakthrough! Although she had suppressed her breakthrough right now since this was not the right place for it. She planned to break through after returning to Chaos Monolith Hills.

'What exactly did Athan do?' Lady Fu fell into thought.

She knew that things didn't look as normal as they seemed on the surface. She could feel her soul strengthening and her comprehension increasing. However, she felt that there was more to it but couldn't capture it.

Anyway, all those questions didn't matter as the only thing she should feel right now was...joy.

She went to the hall where besides Athan, all others were meditating.

"Thank you, Athan. I've been having trouble breaking through in the last four hundred years and felt that I would need a catalyst like Neo Vortex flower and such thing to breakthrough but," Lady Fu had a wide smile while shaking her head slowly in amazement, "but I didn't know that one touch of yours will bring epiphany to me. I can feel like my soul is gradually strengthening as well due to that seed."

Athan carefreely smiled as he waved his hand, "You will receive more benefits as long as you help me. As for that seed, you will realize its true value at the most important moment of your life. Anyway, how long until we arrive at Chaos Monolith Hills?"

Lady Fu closed her eyes to check before opening them again in three seconds, "Three days until we reach Chaos Monolith Hills."

Athan nodded with a faint smile, "I haven't sent any voidling-zoids to Dean Lenix in the last three months, but I got a big stock ready, and I am making more myself as well, which will give me another round of big wealth."

Lady Fu felt that how could Athan create voidling-zoids without doing anything? She never saw him creating them even in Heaven's Tranquility, and hearing the words "making more myself as well," she felt there was some mystery regarding the production of voidling-zoids. But she didn't bother asking about it as it was not her place to ask such questions.

Though thinking about the wealth Athan would be amassing, she wryly smiled and said with a chuckle, " Haha, You won't have to worry about money from now on," changing the topic, she asked, "Anyway, what are you going to do after returning?"

"First, I establish my faction and then go into a special-grade CPD to start training with the members of my faction," Athan said with a grin.

"Special-grade?" Lady Fu raised her eyebrows, "Although you might be able to handle training there, others will have difficulty even staying there, let alone training there."

"They will have to adapt, suffering in the path to get strong is necessary. The pain will be immense, but," Athan spoke plainly, "As long as they don't die, it's fine. I will give increase their potential, But they will have to make proper that potential and unleash it by breaking their limits," Standing up, Athan conjured an eccentric symbol on his hand before speaking, "To become powerful, to fight alongside me, they can't be mediocre."

Lady Fu was surprised as she could feel dominating intent from Athan and a spark of ambition from him. Her gaze then went to the symbol as she asked curiously, "What's that symbol?"

"This will be the symbol of my faction."

The symbol looked like an ethereal grey drop, and one could see mystical black and white streams chasing each other in the grey drop.

One could feel its mysteriousness when looking at it.

Lady Fu nodded before she thought of something and asked, "What about the name of the faction? Have you thought about it?"

Athan wryly smiled as he shook his head, "Not yet. About the name, I will have to discuss with others and pick a good name."

Lady Fu nodded, "Yep, the name is indeed important."

After talking for a bit, Lady Fu left, and Athan continued creating voidling-zoids alongside the void grotto. Since his recovery of abyssal darkness increased, he could make more voidling-zoids alongside Void-Grotto.

...

On the other hand, Dean Lenix was eagerly waiting for Athan's return because a lot of people were waiting for a large batch of voidling-zoids.

Athan was supposed to send him a batch of two thousand voidlings every month through the Silver Wing Delivery, but no voidling-zoids were delivered here in the last three months due to unforeseen circumstances.

However, he just got a contact from Athan today that he would be returning in three days, and Athan also mentioned a pleasant surprise that he would be giving him.

'What kind of surprise is he talking about?' Dean Lenix wondered for a moment before he looked at Zorgia, who was sitting on the couch in his palace.

"Hey, Zorgia. Your young master will be returning in three days."

Zorgia's eyes shot open, and one could see the excitement in them, "Finally..."

Looking at his state, Dean Lenix smiled wryly and thought, 'I wonder what his behavior will be when he finds out that the Void Emperor that appeared that day was Athan himself.'

The true identity of the Void Emperor was known to only a few. All people of Youhan Tree were informed and also believed that Athan was Void Emperor's inheritor. In the first place, they knew that although Athan was mysterious, he just broke through to the Zen order realm, so they wouldn't believe that he was Athan.

The only ones who knew about the true identity of Void Emperor were him, Zangrel, Lady Fu, and the members of the Hidden Dragon troupe.

Tiana and others also found out what Athan did when they saw the content mirage stone from Lady Fu, so they also knew the factual matter.

But besides them, no one else knew that the mysterious entity Void Emperor was Athan himself.
