Void Evolution System

Chapter 1006 Shattered [2]

?

The projection of the woman disappeared as soon as the Celestial Mana Thread made contact.

Damien only briefly saw the relief on her face as she left, choosing to ignore it for now.

The binding of a universe fragment, what did it entail?

In all honesty, Damien had no idea. The fact that other universes existed wasn't known to many at all, let alone fragments of them existing in this universe.

'I doubt this is the first time, but those who've found universe fragments would do everything possible to keep them hidden…'

'…and none of them were Celestials.'

Damien let loose a distressed breath as the binding process ended. He closed his eyes and looked inward. There, he found a new entity inside the World Core Fusion Reactor.

Sitting above the many worlds under Damien's control was a rhomboid crystalline object that shone with rainbow light, representing Reva's bind.

Only, this newly created bind didn't benefit Damien in the slightest.

He smiled wryly.

'I guess I'll only find out how crazy what I just did was after I've unsealed her, but what can you do? A beauty's gratitude is the hardest debt to repay.'

His thoughts drifted back to that woman, the shattered universe's true universal law.

What she'd shown him…

'Never mind. Let's just get through the Grand Assembly first.'

He opened his eyes, and Reva had disappeared.

'Is her physical body that unstable? It seems she'll be resting inside that crystal until I manage to unseal a few of those seals.'

Like Damien originally said, nobody could survive with such terrible damage in their spiritual world. Regardless of her true identity, Reva's physical body wouldn't have been able to bear the pressure of her mind for much longer without any support.

'Now that she's found refuge, the process should be stalled for a bit, but she's not safe yet.'

Damien finally set Reva's matter aside, as it wasn't something he could focus on at the moment, and swept his hand through the air.

Over a hundred thousand protective layers of space and time were dispersed, returning Damien to the Real Plane.

As for when he'd set them up? Of course, it was the instant he spotted Reva!

With so many eyes on him, his every action had to be taken with caution.

Nevertheless, now that he was out, he was once again graced by the sight of Xue'er sitting in a lotus position in the midst of a cloud of white and gold aura like a warrior who returned valiantly and victoriously from battle.

This chance of hers, he had no idea what it was.

In fact, he was sure the central area of the tomb was untouched by the Angels, and whatever Xue'er was currently experiencing was a factor of the original Mystic Realm that the Holy Light Realm was built on.

Hadn't Elena experienced something similar before?

Damien had no way of knowing it, but the Angels were never able to conquer the two tombs of the original mystic realm.

It wasn't a matter of their ability, but the tombs themselves.

Because Mystic Realms were, in part, created by the universe itself.

The true benefits to be gained from them would never appear unless they found their proper owners.

'All I can say is that she's benefitting immensely. This might even be her opportunity to find her path.'

Damien shrugged and sat back, observing and making sure nothing went wrong.

'Anyway, putting that aside…this is supposed to last for 2 months? With the way things are progressing, I'm afraid this event will be ended soon.'

He smiled to himself.

What could he say?

The forces of Grand Heavens Boundary really underestimated the younger generation this time.

'Let's hope she finishes quickly. I still want to have some more fun before we're kicked out.'

His awareness spread past the bounds of the Holy Light Tomb.

In his eyes…

***

…the firestorm faded into the atmosphere as if it never existed.

After raging for one full day and night, it vanished in the wind like a passing wanderer with no desires or ambitions.

Geniuses in all corners of Holy Light Star peeked their heads out from their various hiding places, embracing the bright sun and the passing of danger.

It was a moment of respite.

But it was not one to be cherished.

"Everyone, gather immediately."

A message entered the ears of the Human Domain geniuses.

Within four hours, three geniuses gathered at their original rendezvous point.

In fact, they weren't too far from it, but after the chaos, orienting themselves and understanding their position took time.

Nevertheless, as the three of them reached the rendezvous point, Xue Fang was the one to speak first.

"Sister, why did you summon us this time?" He asked, looking at Ruyue.

Ruyue rolled her eyes. "I'm not your sister. You still want to consider me a part of the Xue Clan?"

Xue Fang put his hands up in surrender as sweat dripped down his temple. "What're you talking about? The Xue Clan has long been destroyed. I have no attachment to that place."

"Then?"

"Ehem…Little Yue wan—"

"Don't talk about her. Anyway, let's drop this for now. We have more important matters to discuss."

"En, if it's you, the only reason for a summon would be a crisis."

Ruyue nodded, looking at the two men solemnly.

"First of all, the concentration of evil aura in the atmosphere has increased significantly since the passing of the firestorm. The smell of blood radiating from the east is extremely concerning. If I'm correct, there will be a beast tide soon."

Long Chen's eyes widened in realization.

"The firestorm didn't just kill, it destroyed the environment thoroughly. Every beast in the realm has been deprived of a home. However, how many of them could survive the tide?"

Xue Fang shook his head and joined the conversation.

"That isn't the case. The beasts on the surface have likely all died. The subterranean world, on the other hand…"

"Right," Ruyue nodded, "that brings me to my second concern."

Her eyes hardened.

"I'm afraid Rose has been trapped in the subterranean world."

Her expression was immediately mirrored on the faces of her companions.

They didn't doubt her words at all, nor did they question how she knew this information.

Because the bond of sisterhood between Rose and Ruyue was something inexplicable that neither of these men could understand.

They always had a perfect understanding of what the other was thinking, and this ability seemed to transcend reality itself.

If Ruyue felt Rose was in danger, and in the subterranean world at that, it could only be so.

"We need to find her first. Do you have any idea where she is?" Long Chen asked.

Ruyue nodded once more.

"Yes, and that's why I called you here. Currently, Rose should be around 10,000 meters under our feet."

Shiiiing!

The sound of three weapons being drawn as one resounded through the air.

"Then, let's get to work."

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A crater was formed instantly, and it was torn into a cavern within seconds.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The furious impacts attracted the attention of many geniuses, but who would dare go near people who could exert such power to casually slap the ground?

These crazy people had to be avoided at all costs!

Under this atmosphere, the Human Domain geniuses tunneled roughly 4,000 meters into the earth until finally…

BANG!

Ruyue's spear slammed into the rock, causing it to collapse inward.

The trio fell through the same abyss Rose experienced, but unlike her, they were able to see the slightest flashes of light coming from below.

'There she is.' Ruyue thought in relief.

Her expression sharpened as she used mana to actively increase her falling speed.

"Prepare for battle!" She shouted powerfully.

"When we land, immediately slaughter everything!"
