At this moment… while the tremors from the attack of the Original Sins rippled across the starry sky, the Void remained as calm and silent as ever.

 

However, if someone were paying close attention, they would have noticed that, at some point in time, a vast continent had begun to drift at the deepest reaches of the Void.

 

This was the Divine and Demonic Breeding Ground, where Gods and Demons were reared.

 

Or more precisely, a continent used to entice Myriad Races and lead them into embrace of the Void.

 

And now, at the very heart of this continent, within a grand, sprawling purple palace…

 

Yu Zi Yu sat alone upon his throne, with the Void Emperors silently standing beneath him.

 

“You all performed your respective tasks exceptionally well. A job well done.”

 

Speaking for once, Yu Zi Yu made no attempt to hide his rare praise.

 

Indeed, compared to the powerhouses of the Myriad Races of the Universe, the strength of the Void Clan was clearly on an entirely different level.

 

And under Yu Zi Yu’s personal nurturing, the six Void Emperors bearing the name of ‘Original Sins’ had far surpassed other Void Emperors. Even Yu Zi Yu himself found their terrifying strength worthy of recognition.

 

Among them, one stood out in particular, which was Formless.

 

She appeared to be a mere loli, yet her depth was unfathomable.

 

Even a Tier-6 Overlord of the Troll was powerless before her. His head was casually plucked from his shoulders.

 

Such power was, without question, utterly terrifying.

 

[Well, it’s not important. Let’s get on with the important stuff…] With a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Yu Zi Yu gave his next command, “Take some time to digest your gains… Once you’ve recovered, I’ll take you all hunting again.”

 

“Yes, Boss!” Voices rang out in unison, and the Void Emperors’ eyes gleamed with fervor.

 

Hunting the Myriad Races. To them, it was nothing short of a wild and raucous feast.

 

And to do so without fear or restraint, as they now did… it was bliss.

 

The only regret was that the two races they had just hunted were far too weak. Had they faced stronger foes, their joy would have been doubled.

 

With a faint smile, Avril stepped forward and stated, “Boss, these are some of the rare herbs and flowers you asked us to keep an eye on…”

 

As she spoke, a flash of light flickered at her fingertips, revealing a silver ring.

 

It was a space ring, gifted by Yu Zi Yu to the Original Sins as a token of their status.

 

And now, as the silver ring pulsed with light… ripples spread through the air, and an unending stream of rare Spirit Herbs and Flowers burst forth.

 

Upon closer inspection, every single one was revealed to be at least Tier-4.

 

A few of them… even made Yu Zi Yu’s eyes shine with interest.

 

“Tier-6, hmm…” He murmured, raising his hand to summon a pitch-black flower that resembled a ghostly skull.

 

Ghostshade Demon Flower (Grade: Tier-6): An eerie flower to be born from lingering resentment and all the negative energy after death.

 

Gazing at it closely, Yu Zi Yu could faintly see wraith-like mists swirling around the petals.

 

“Not bad,” he voiced his praise, genuinely satisfied by this Spirit Flower.

 

[With this flower, Aurora’s injuries could at least be stabilized for now…]

 

And this was the true purpose behind Yu Zi Yu’s recent campaign of hunting the Myriad Races.

 

His goal was to search for rare herbs and flowers, and use their Quintessence to nurture Aurora, who now lay dormant.

 

As the Fleeting Time Divine Flower, she was the pinnacle of all flowers. Naturally, she could be nourished using the Quintessence of other Spirit Flowers.

 

However… such a method was rather cruel.

 

If not for the fact that he cherished Aurora dearly, Yu Zi Yu would not have resorted to it.

 

*Haaaa…* Heaving a faint sigh, Yu Zi Yu waved his hand, dismissing the gathered Void Emperors, leaving him alone within the grand hall.

 

And once all the Void Emperors had left, Yu Zi Yu finally raised his right hand.

 

*Boom…* Ripples spread through the air, as a colorful Spirit Flower, seemingly frozen in time, appeared atop his fingertip.

 

“This is only the beginning…” He murmured softly, and with a sweep of his hand, all the Spirit Herbs and Flowers in the hall were obliterated, reduced to specks of radiant light.

 

And then, he blew a gentle breeze, and visible to the naked eye, these luminous specks began to flow into the colorful Spirit Flower.

 

“This should help…” In a voice tinged with hope, Yu Zi Yu gazed quietly at the Spirit Flower atop his fingertip.

 

Until, after a long moment, its petals quivered slightly, and a faint five-colored glow bloomed forth.

 

Only then… did the curve at Yu Zi Yu’s lips finally deepen.

 

“As expected… it works.” There was both joy and relief in his voice.

 

At last, Yu Zi Yu confirmed that gathering rare Spirit Herb and Flowers would truly aid in Aurora’s recovery.

 

However, by the looks of it, Aurora’s recovery would still be a long and arduous journey. After all, even the Quintessence of so many rare Spirit Flowers and Herbs had only barely restored a trace of her vitality.

 

From this, it was quite foreseeable that if he truly wanted to recover her, many more Spirit Herbs and Flowers would be needed.

 

However, there was no helping it. Aurora was not an ordinary existence. She was a Marvelous Flower of Heaven and Earth, and someone who had once exhausted her Quintessence of Time to help Yu Zi Yu ascend to Tier-7.

 

And what exactly was the Quintessence of Time? No words were necessary to explain it.

 

It was something far beyond what these mere Spirit Herbs and Flowers could ever hope to compare to.

 

Put simply, if Aurora were to fully mature, her value might rival that of the legendary Divine Tree of Enlightenment.

 

This was more than enough to explain her preciousness. She was a flower rooted along the River of Time itself, waiting patiently through the vicissitudes of the Mortal Plane.

 

“I won’t deny it. I truly am a man of great fortune.” Sighing to himself, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but feel grateful that fate had allowed him to meet Aurora.

 

With such a marvellous being accompanying him, he would not be alone in his search for Dao..

 

However, he knew that now was not the time for sentiment.

 

Glancing at the now slightly-revived Aurora, Yu Zi Yu once again sealed her into a separate Spacetime dimension.

 

There, time would slow to a crawl, ensuring her Quintessence would not further dissipate.

 

Still, if Aurora were ever to be fully restored, he would need to find those few Spirit Flowers spoken of only in legend.

 

One of them was the Blue Lotus of Creature, a miraculous flower said to embody the power to ‘create all things.’ A Marvelous Flower of Heaven and Earth no less rare and sacred than Aurora herself.

 

If found, Aurora’s recovery would be only a matter of time.

 

Another was the Divine Flower of the Other Shore, a flower said to possess the power to resurrect the dead. This flower too could truly awaken Aurora from her slumber.

 

These Divine Flowers wouldn’t merely restore Aurora to her former state, they might even allow her to evolve to an even higher level.

 

As for other methods… while they might help her recover, they could very well sever her path of future evolution.

 

And so, after much contemplation, Yu Zi Yu set his sights on these legendary flowers.
