Void Evolution System

Upon completion of the purge, news spread throughout the Cloud Plane describing the events that took place under the surface.

The purge, the traitors, all of it reached the ears of even the most common people.

There were 3 women that took the forefront of even this news, but unfortunately, from a certain point onward, only two of them remained.

But their fame wasn't light at all. It rivaled even the recently created legend of Heaven's Wrath.

While the people of the Cloud Plane were in an uproar, a meeting took place in a secret location hidden amongst the clouds. It was a floating island similar to the one Tang Lingzi resided on.

"Our goal is simple." Shangguan Yu spoke seriously at the front of the crowd. "We will exterminate Niflheim entirely."

The crowd wasn't filled with a large number of people. There were at most a few thousand. On an operation where they were facing millions or even billions of enemies, this number was nothing.

But each and every existence present was a powerhouse, an elite chosen specifically for this mission.

"We will split into four teams. The Sun Squadron will be under my leadership. We will stay in Asgard territory and command the entire mission. We are the main connecting point between every other team and the ones who relay information between them. Not only that, we'll also be keeping track of the Niflheim executives' movements and delaying them if need be."

Shangguan Yu held up a jade slip, which turned into a few hundred specks of light that hovered over the same number of individuals in the crowd.

"Those of you who have been marked, come over to the Sun Pagoda. I will give you a more specific briefing of your missions."

As Shangguan Yu led his group away, Bai Xieren took the floor. "The Moon Squadron will be under me. We will be in charge of reconnaissance and infiltration. Follow me to the Moon Pavilion if you are marked."

A few hundred more specs of light flew out, and unexpectedly, one of them arrived atop Damien's head.

Damien's eyes widened. 'Infiltration again? Aren't I more suited for a main attack force?!'

He lamented inwardly, but he couldn't do anything about it. This mission was too big for him to bring personal preference into.

He could only wish his wives goodbye and follow Bai Xieren to the Moon Pavilion.

Tian Yang grinned seeing his disciple's downcast expression and sent a mental transmission.

'Brat, don't worry too much. I'm sure you'll love the task that's been assigned to you.'

Damien shot a glare at Tian Yang as he walked away. 'Hmph. It better be good. I swear I'll beat your ass if it isn't.'

Tian Yang rolled his eyes. 'Yeah, yeah. By the way, I know you're probably worried, but little Yue'er and your Rose are both in my attack force because of their performance during the purge. You don't have to worry about their safety.'

Damien didn't respond, but he couldn't hide the relieved smile on his face as he walked away.

As long as he had Tian Yang's promise, he really didn't need to worry about Ruyue or Rose. His master would protect them from anything they couldn't handle.

And after his worry was cleared, curiosity immediately got the better of him.

When he walked into the Moon Pavilion, he was greeted by a familiar face among a group of strangers.

A certain black-haired sword cultivator stood amongst the ranks with a downtrodden expression on his face. Seeing him, Damien grinned.

He flashed next to Long Chen and gave him a hard slap on the back. "My good brother! It seems we're fated to work together once again."

Long Chen's head shakily turned to the side, his movements like a robot's. And seeing the face he expected but didn't want to see, a defeater sigh leaked from his mouth.

"Fuck."

Damien's grin widened immediately. His arm moved, giving Long Chen a few more heavy pats. "Ah? Don't be like that! Aren't you excited?"

Long Chen rolled his eyes. "I'd be more excited watching a dog shitting."

Damien's face wrinkled in disgust. He backed away slowly. "Damn, you're into that kind of thing? I might have to reconsider our brotherhood."

"Into what kind of…you little bastard. Don't let me catch you alone. I won't let you off the hook."

Damien jumped back exaggeratedly. "I-I appreciate your feelings, but I'm sorry. I'm straight."

Long Chen's forehead twitched unceasingly. His face was practically tomato colored. Instead of speaking again, he turned around and refocused on the happenings of the Moon Pavilion.

Damien smiled in satisfaction. Annoying Long Chen was always a great way to get rid of his worries.

"Good, it seems everyone is here."

Bai Xieren's voice rang out from the front of the crowd, where a small elevated stage was located.

"The Moon Squadron, as I said before, will be in charge of mainly reconnaissance and information gathering. We will create a network that reaches the top of Niflheim's management and coordinate with the Sun Squadron to create chaos within their ranks and create opportunities for the Star and Celestial Squadrons to attack.

Bai Xieren paused, panning her gaze over the crowd slowly.

"However, we will accomplish all of this within 6 months."

The crowd immediately went into an uproar. Although 6 months was a long time, it was nothing when the opponent was a foe the size of Niflheim.

"I will not hear your complaints. If we do not complete our mission properly, the entire plan will be derailed. Instead of complaining, take the time to understand the roles you will be assigned. The Moon Pavilion is fully equipped with all supplies you could possibly need for your tasks. Visit the attendants if you wish to know more."

After giving a few more words of rundown on the overarching situation, Bai Xieren turned around and left. However, as she did so…

'If you are hearing this message, split off from the main group and meet me in the rear courtyard. If you are able to arrive unnoticed, I shall reward you. However, if you are discovered, you will lose your qualifications to participate in this raid.'

Damien heard the sudden sound transmission clear as day. And from the look on Long Chen's face, he heard it as well.

Damien grinned wildly. "It looks like the old man wasn't lying. Something fun is going to happen.'

But of course, Damien was a benevolent and kind saint. He believed in fairness and justice.

Therefore, he chose not to use his Star Master abilities in the challenge Bai Xieren gave out.

Instead, he just spread his awareness normally and found the rear courtyard, used vector control to mask his spatial fluctuations, and teleported directly to the specified location.

He stepped out of the void with a casual smile on his face, facing Bai Xieren with pride.

"I was almost worried when I was put on some bullshit spy squad, but it seems your ambitions are far grander than that. Mm, this is a satisfactory job. I'll be looking forward to it."

He walked confidently and took his seat in one of the 5 chairs spread around the table Bai Xieren was sitting at.

"So? How about a rundown, Sect Master?"
