The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan entered the special space and saw that everyone already sat down and closed their eyes. But their faces had smiled filled with excitement because they were checking the rewards they got.

He also sat down and started checking the rewards.

Inside his soul realm was a golden orb that was shining; Athan inspected it.

" Imprint of Valor? "

He remembered a reward they got on the early floor.

The white orb started moving and entered his soul body.

" Hmm...To activate this imprint, I have to do acts of valors, and these acts should be accepted by my core beliefs and the universe's will. But what does it do after it is activated? "

He wanted to ask Avelia, but he decided to up it on hold and checked other rewards.

The Rule fragments.

He looked at the milky white short strings flying around in his soul realm. These strings were rule fragments, but he couldn't sense anything from them. He didn't get any information even when he tried to touch them.

He knew that he would need to break through to the higher planes to use rule fragments, so he put them aside and checked one last thing inside his soul realm.

" soul quirk...this is certainly mysterious. " Athan looked at the silver-white wisp and touched it with his soul body.

The wisp scattered before it appeared on top of his soul body's forehead.

Athan felt a bit of pain in his soul before gaining an ability.

[ Soul Birth ]

Athan's eyes started shining when he found the use of this ability but soon, his face fell.

He could produce another soul body with this ability, but the thing was that...The requirement to use this soul quirk was quite high.

The first requirement was that his soul body needs to be 20 meters in height, and he would have to sacrifice 15 meters of his soul to give birth to a tiny soul using this soul quirk [ Soul Birth ], and then he would have to provide soul energy to nurture it.

Although the requirement and process were high, the benefits were also tremendous.

" Looks like we will have to focus on progressing our planes of existence and get stronger. That's the only way to strengthen our souls for now. "

He then moved to his genesis realm and checked other rewards.

...

Athan, Tiana, and others were sitting around the round table while eating fruit.

In addition to will imprint, soul quirk, and rule fragments, They also got two fruits and two plants.

The fruits strengthened their souls, and everyone's soul body size increased by 2 meters.

" I feel like this is a fortune in misfortune. If we didn't arrive in this dimension, then we couldn't have strengthened our souls like this. " Athan said with a smile.

Avelia nodded and said, " Indeed. As far as I know, there are no treasures like these fruits on our Supercluster that could strengthen our souls directly. "

Beside the lake, There were ten half a meter plants, and they were still growing every five minutes.

They watered these trees, but unlike the previous plants that grew rapidly, the plants they received this time didn't have rapid growth.

Everyone also received a different will of imprints.

Tiana received Imprint of Zeal, Avelia received imprint of wrath, Qerin received imprint of temperance and Mike received imprint of humility.

Athan asked Avelia about what it does after it is activated and Avelia said that it depends on how it's activated and after it is activated their effects also vary from person to person.

" After it's activated they will receive certain kinds of benefits and this benefit is related to what did they do to activate the will imprint. " Avelia concluded.

" And bro...The trial told us that we would receive a random soul quirk, but instead, we all received the same [ Soul Birth ] quirk. "

Athan and others crossed-checked their rewards and were surprised to find that they all received the same soul quirk.

Athen had a guess regarding this and spoke, " I think it's because our souls are still weak, and this quirk should be the only one we could handle. "

Avelia nodded and said as she seemed to know about this, " [ Soul birth ] is not that hard to develop, and most of the ruler plane existence have this soul quirk. But seeing that our souls are weak, we received this quirk. That Roukin guy should have received a better and powerful soul quirk, I believe. "

" I think we should train from now on and nurture our Altar Spirits. Our aim to so nurture three SSS rank Altar spirits and then understand a profound meaning. After that, we will go out once again. " Athan said.

...

Everyone spent their time nurturing altar spirits every day, and after three months of continuous nurturing, They finally succeeded in getting their altar spirits to level 3.

Once their altar spirits reached level 3, their soul started to strengthen as their size increased by one meter, and everyone entered into deep meditation as they received an epiphany.

After the epiphany was over, Athan and others upgraded their soul altars.

Inside Athan's soul realm, the Lucent tiger roared loudly, and its eyes revealed humane emotions.

The cave of the Lucent tiger, which was its soul altar, also got bigger. Still, most importantly, the Lucent tiger now had its own energy source inside the cave from which it could use the concept and use the conceptual energy to strengthen itself and fight in battle together with Athan.

Athan and others summoned their Altar spirits as they looked around curiously and even communicated against each other.

Tiana's altar spirit was standing on top of Lucent tiger, but Lucent tiger didn't mind.

Mike's altar spirit also a flying spirit that looked like an eagle but with very long dark claws and razor-sharp black wings.

Avelia's altar spirit looked like a silver furball and looked most simple and most cute with its two big eyes.

Qerin's altar spirit looked like a tortoise that had wings and two horns. She named it dertoice, and It actually looked the fiercest among the group, but it acted dumb and was eating grass.

The furball was jumping around it, but the dertoice ignored it.

Athan decided to let the altar spirit roam outside behind the mountain range and then said, " Everyone, Let's form our 2nd SSS rank concept and birth another soul altar spirit. "

Mike sheepishly smiled and said, " Can we go through a linked session of profound impartation? I need to comprehend a few more intents to form my 2nd SSS rank concept. "

" Actually, I also need to comprehend a few mystic intents and master them. "

Avelia also said with an embarrassed smile.

" Alright then, It won't take so long, so let's do it first. " Athan said with a smile.
