Void Evolution System

The Dead Zone training wasn't a new part of either Rose or Ruyue's regime. They'd been stationary within this space for many months already, edging closer and closer to a breakthrough with every passing second.

Usually, when it was time to make a major leap in power, one would need to level up profusely and consolidate their power. However, this same case didn't apply to the two of them.

After all, they'd been fighting with their lives on the line for many years after reaching 3rd class. They weren't just trophies who stood around and waited for their husband to finish work and come home.

When it came to wars, Rose and Ruyue had participated in them more than even Damien. They were key players in the purges of three worlds that took place while Damien was busy training.

The problem was still the complexity of their elements. It was a blessing and a curse, providing them with the power to stand above their competition while also holding them back and making their path to strength that much harder.

Even with this, only Long Chen and a few other geniuses from the Human Domain were able to match up to them. The two women and Long Chen were the Human Domain's premiere geniuses.

They were the Human Domain's greatest stars, along with one other name.

Damien Void.

Some believed he'd died while some believed he'd been sent to a different part of the universe. Regardless of opinion, though, all people agreed that his talent outstripped almost everyone they'd ever seen.

It was an insane level of talent, a level of talent that wouldn't die easily, even the non-believers were well aware of their fact, but they acted based on emotion alone.

Nevertheless, the Human Domain remained trapped in an endless training regime. Whether it was the lowest 1st class being or an extreme peak 4th class being, none were safe from it.

Through this regime, they would rise into becoming the heroes who saved the universe once more.

The starry sky was a vast and endless place filled with a myriad of beautiful sceneries that barely anyone would have the pleasure of witnessing.

The 9 Sectors were only separated due to the classification systems set by sentient beings. In reality, it was all just a part of the vast Grand Heavens Boundary, the universe's shell.

Deep within the starry sky, in one of these areas that'd never been discovered or explored, there lay a Mystic Realm unlike any other.

In terms of concept, the Mystic Realm was similar to Aquazyl. It was a hidden realm where many sentient lifeforms lived and served a purpose. Their lifespans became irrelevant when they connected their minds to the spiritual pillar that maintained the realm.

However, the realm didn't bear any similarities to Aquazyl at all.

It was white everywhere. When one entered the Mystic Realm, they'd be met by a pure white walkway surrounded by puffy translucent clouds that seemed to flow downwards into the Void like beautiful waterfalls. At the end of this walkway was an equally white city.

The architectural style didn't have any sort of consistency, but each and every building looked like it was carved out of the cleanest limestone.

Unfortunately, most of these buildings were empty. Their owners had passed long ago.

The only signs of their existence remaining were the small mementos they left in their wake.

Currently, this usually unoccupied space was home to a visitor.

Her long blue hair swayed in the wind, looking like ocean waves crashing against each other as they followed the moon's flow. Her eyes remained closed, but the piercing chill produced by her gaze remained stationary, hovering around her irises until she decided it time to be activated.

This woman was none other than Elena.

Compared to Rose and Ruyue, her strength was already higher. After all, she'd stepped into 4th class already!

While Elena's achievements couldn't be discounted, even she knew that most of her recent improvements were the fault of this realm alone.

It had already been many years since Elena separated from Damien. And for her, it had been even more than the original time flow could register. The strange Mystic Realm she remained in seemed to twist time, making it impossible to see or grasp.

In this time, she'd done nothing but practice. At the same time, Elena had learned far more about herself than she ever knew before.

Truthfully, Elena never knew her parents. She'd moved from foster home to foster home from the earliest years of her life. This only changed when she began earning money from her hunter career.

Like Damien, though, Elena always felt an attraction to mana. She was sensitive to life, to people, to all things. Perhaps her sensing of Damien's spatial element was what created the bond they'd later come to share.

This ability wasn't something a human who'd never been in contact should produce. Adapting to mana before even sending its existence was unheard of.

In that case, there was only one answer. Just like Damien, she must've had family from outside earth

Damien's father was a being of origins too big for even the current Damien to understand. In Elena's &case, however, both parents were missing.

It was likely that Elena's parents were deeply connected to this mysterious Mystic Realm. And judging by the source of her power…

Her mother was likely a Valkyrie or something similar. As for her father…

It was better not to mention him. Elena didn't know anything about the man, but she got the sinking feeling that he was incredibly dangerous whenever she thought about him.

Nevertheless, her origins didn't matter much to her. What Elena wanted was strength, and no matter where that strength came from, she'd accept it.

Her eyes shot open. Those ocean-blue irises shone like beautiful sapphires in the light sky. Her mouth parted as she let out a sigh.

'Another day with no progress…' Elena muttered inwardly.

Ever since entering this land of Valhalla, Elena had been working towards a strict set of goals. She set time limits for herself and forced herself to properly train to achieve them.

Sadly, no matter how much work she did, she couldn't make progress. The Life Laws that she was trying to master and apply in more conceptual ways…were simply too convoluted. No matter how she studied, she couldn't comprehend them at all.

But that was normal. Elena's situation was the exact opposite of Rose and Ruyue's. While the two of them merely needed to heighten their comprehension until their Baptisms arrived, Elena was long past the Baptism and only needed to continue tempering herself and moving forward.

Essentially, what Elena needed was no longer the same type of dreary practice at all times.

What Elena needed was true combat experience.

Her eyes turned to the Mystic Realm's entrance. Despite all the mysteries surrounding this territory, it was still true that she somehow attained ownership of it.

Her smile spread into a savage grin. As she wondered if that specific trait was something everyone who spent too much time with Damien one greeted, Elena exited the realm entirely.

'I heard the Nox have been up to some tricks recently. I guess killing them will be a lot of fun.'

With that thought, Elena's body turned into a flash of light.

Her body was headed straight in the direction of Eden.
