Terror. It was pure, suffocating terror.

 

An unimaginable pressure surged like a world-breaking storm, sweeping across the entire Void.

 

And in the very next instant…

 

*Boooooom…* A powerful roar thundered through the Void as the terrifying aura climbed to its peak. One by one, the faces of the powerful warriors of the Void froze in shock.

 

Simply because, now, a figure entered their sight, a tall, ethereal figure, shrouded in a veil of mystery. Upon its back spread six majestic wings of violet, so gorgeous that they seemed as if sculpted by the hand of the Creator Himself.

 

Shimmering with an otherworldly purple glow, the wings appeared as though six Phoenix’s plumes had descended upon the Mortal Plane. As they gently swayed, star-like specks of violet light drifted from their tips, cascading like falling snow.

 

This was the image seared into the minds of the assembled powerhouses of the Void.

 

Silence, a pin drop silence filled the Void.

 

Not from reverence, but from fear so profound that none dared to speak.

 

The sheer pressure, the monstrous force, had reached an apex that left many of the Void Creatures sweating, breathless, frozen in place.

 

“We’re…” Yu Zi Yu began to introduce himself, but he paused the very next moment.

 

And then…

 

*Rooooooaar…* A mighty Dragon’s roar thundered through the Void, shaking the entire space.

 

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the source, and there they saw: A titanic creature, endlessly long and wreathed in violet radiance, slithering around Yu Zi Yu like a guardian deity.

 

A Dragon, and not just any dragon, but a Dragon of purple color.

 

And the entire Void knew this form very well.

 

The first of the Void Lifeform to step into Tier-6.

 

The oldest…

 

The most unfathomable…

 

The Emperor of Emperors…

 

The Soaring Purple Dragon.

 

Now, with the Purple Dragon at his side, the identity of this figure needed no words.

 

*Hehe…* With a rare chuckle, the reticent Zi Lian knelt down on one knee and spoke aloud, respectfully, “I, Zi Lian, greet the great Void Hegemon, Lord Purple Dragon.”

 

Just as these words fell, the air went still.

 

Then, as if a floodgate had burst open.

 

“I, Wings, greet the great Void Hegemon.”

 

“I, Arsenal, greet the great Void Hegemon.”

 

…

 

And so, one after another, voices echoed, reverent, unwavering, each belonging to Tier-5, and even Tier-6 Void Creature.

 

Yu Zi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing.

 

To him now, even the Tier-6s were no different than Ants, insignificant. The chasm between their Hierarchy of Life was far too vast, to the point that he couldn’t help but look down upon them.

 

If not for their value… he would not hesitate to turn them into Evolution Points.

 

Of course, some were exceptions, like the few figures kneeling down on one knee among the others not far ahead.

 

Avril, the Fallen Angel from the Divine and Demonic Breeding Ground. She was originally an Angel, but under the influence of Yu Zi Yu, she had fallen into the embrace of the Void.

 

Since then, a century had passed.

 

And today, she stood as a true Tier-6 Void Lifeform. A soft violetish glow enveloped her lithe form. Her hair, violet and shimmering like strands of silk, cascaded down to her waist.

 

She wore a flowing violet gown, embroidered with intricate patterns at the hem. Beneath it, her bare, jade-like feet happened to be standing on the very Void itself.

 

She was exquisite, no…breathtaking.

 

As an Angel, especially as Lan’s own right wing, Avril’s beauty was nothing short of the work of the Creator Himself.

 

And now, having long since fallen into the embrace of the Void and refined through the trials of time, Avril had only grown more perfect.

 

However, her beauty was no longer pure and divine like that of a celestial being. It was something darker, something that lured the Soul. She was utterly bewitching and enchanting.

 

Some, perhaps, wouldn’t even need to face her in combat. One glance into those deep, violet eyes of hers would be enough for them to lose themselves completely.

 

And beside her… stood another figure no less dazzling.

 

The King of Knights from Earth, once the most famed knight of her realm, who alone upheld an empire where the Sun had never set.

 

However, times changed, the empire fell, and she too had become a wandering knight, until Yu Zi Yu awakened her, guiding her into the embrace of the Void.

 

Now, she too had grown.

 

She wielded the Excalibur, a Tier-7 DIvine Artifact. Her cascading black hair tumbled like silk. Clad in a noble, black gothic lolita dress, she resembled a porcelain doll. She was beautiful yet as cold as obsidian.

 

Her power was undeniable though. She too was at Tier-6.

 

Thus, under Yu Zi Yu’s banner, stood three Tier-6 Void Emperors: first Zi Lian; second Avril; and third, the King of Knights.

 

But apart from them, there was one more, one whose emergence was even out of Yu Zi Yu’s expectation.

 

“The Third King, who bears the mark of Envy…” murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze fell upon a strange beast resembling a Panther, but with wings upon its back.

 

The Third King was the third Void Creature to reach Tier-4 and be crowned as a King of the Void.

 

Now? He had ascended to Tier-6. A true Void Emperor.

 

Bearing the mark of Envy, he possessed a terrifying gift, which was the ability to consume the desires of all living beings.

 

And this put him in a league of his own.

 

Yu Zi Yu looked about.

 

Currently, he had six Tier-6 Void Emperors at his side.

 

“Zi Lian, Avril, King of Kings, Envy… and…”

 

Muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu looked toward the two Void Emperors he had recently subdued: Formless and Arsenal.

 

Formless had no body. He was like a pure mass of chaos, whose shape kept on changing like a cloud.

 

Arsenal on the other hand could take endless forms. Blades, bows, spears, cannons and even control of other weapons. It was rumored to be the manifestation of all shattered weapons’ resentment.

 

As such, it was quite eerie.

 

However, it was not just bizarre, but deadly as well.

 

Just based on its combat strength, Yu Zi Yu was quite satisfied.

 

Smiling to himself, Yu Zi Yu waved his hand.

 

*Booooom…* In the blink of an eye, a flash of light swept through everyone, and everyone and everything froze, except for the six Emperors and Yu Zi Yu himself, who now stood alone in a frozen Void.

 

Around them, other Void Creatures were locked in stasis, suspended in place like statues.

 

And this was Yu Zi Yu’s power, Spacetime.

 

He had pulled them into another dimension to convene what would be a defining moment in the history of the Void.

 

“Let’s skip the pleasantries.” His voice echoed, low and calm.

 

“I intend to form a group, one that will sit at the very peak of the Void. It will be called… Original Sins, led by seven Void Emperors. Each of you will walk the worlds in Human Form… and together, you shall wage war across the stars by my side.”

 

Mincing no words, Yu Zi Yu went straight to the point.
