Yu Zi Yu had once heard whispers that if the little loli were to lose her consciousness, the dolls under her command would revert to their True Forms.

 

Whether it was truth or mere rumor, he could not say. However, if it were true… then she might end up with a major loophole in the future.

 

[If I get the chance…I should take a look at it for her…] Smiling to himself, Yu Zi Yu also kept this matter to his to-do list.

 

However, now was not the time for such concerns.

 

“The feast will take place half a year from now… For now, I’ll return to rest.”

 

After that brief greeting, he took a single step forward. Instantly, time and space wheeled about him. In the blink of an eye, his figure melted into silence, reappearing upon the Divine and Demonic Continent, within the grandest of palaces.

 

He took a seat upon the throne, while his eyes flickered endlessly with thought.

 

The Buddhist Sect was not an opponent to be trifled with.

 

Had this been the Demon Court, he would never so rashly provoke war with them, because once the battle began, even the mighty Demon Court would bleed grievously.

 

However, the Void Clan was different. Yu Zi Yu bore no sentiment toward them. To him, they were little more than tools, the trump card for leveling the field with the Myriad Races.

 

And tools… were meant to be used.

 

In truth, the entire Void Clan did not object. What they sought was a guide, one who could unseal the Gates of the Void and lead them into the starry expanse of the universe.

 

As for purpose? The Void Creatures never cared about that, nor did they ever question.

 

Only those standing at the very peak, the so-called Void Emperors, bothered with such thoughts.

 

And notably, quite a lot of Void Emperors now walked in Yu Zi Yu’s shadow.

 

The Force known as Original Sins had, by now, become the mightiest Force among the Void Clan.

 

“Even so… compared to the Myriad Races with ancient inheritances, the Void Clan’s development is far too slow…” muttering in a voice teeming with helplessness, Yu Zi Yu sank into deep contemplation.

 

[The Void Clan’s potential is indeed immense. Bordering on terror, but their strength is not yet on par with the Myriad Races of the cosmos. To be honest, even striking the Buddhist Sect alone is a tough undertaking. I suppose I must guide them, force them into the crucible, and forge their growth. And some day, they will truly stand as equals against the Myriad Races.]

 

…

 

And what was the swiftest way to make someone stronger?

 

War, the grander, the more cataclysmic the war, the greater the chance for strong ones to emerge. Therefore, Yu Zi Yu resolved to stir up several large-scale Void Invasions.

 

On one side, this would help him cull his rivals, and mire the Buddhist Sect and the Gods in endless strife.

 

And on the other side, it would help him nurture powerhouses of the Void.

 

“In time… the Void Emperors we cultivate shall be known only by number. I am Zero. Zi Lian shall be One… In this way, the hierarchy and power of the Void Clan shall be made plain and simple…”

 

…

 

Amidst his murmurs, Yu Zi Yu became lost in deeper thought.

 

His dream was quite grand. He wanted to found a boundless empire within the endless reaches of the Void.

 

And to bring such a dream into reality, he needed at least a hundred Void Emperors at his side.

 

Only then… could he forge a supreme force within the Void and unify the entire Void Clan under his banner.

 

The longer and deeper he pondered, the clearer his path became.

 

…

 

Lost in planning for the future, Yu Zi Yu would likely remain in the Void for some time, barring any unexpected developments.

 

All for a single purpose: to carve a new order belonging solely to the Void.

 

After all, the order was written by the strong.

 

And now, as the Void Hegemon, who transcends all, Yu Zi Yu had the power to carve the order himself.

 

…

 

Time slipped by in silence. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

 

And in these two months, the Void Creatures gathered around the Divine and Demonic Continent had swelled to tens of millions.

 

The sight was simply amazing. There was no end to them. Every corner of the Void had been filled by their seething presence.

 

*Rooooaar, rooooaar, rooooaar…*

*Screeeeech, screeeech, screeeech…*

 

A cacophony of deafening growls and strange cries reverberated through the expanse, giving the endless Void a vitality it had never known.

 

However, that was not the most important thing.

 

The most important thing was the six figure standing before the endless army of Void Creatures.

 

These six had small, delicate bodies, entirely in the shape of Humans, yet in the eyes of those countless Void creatures, they were terror incarnate.

 

The pressure pouring forth from them was simply crushing and suffocating.

 

Every creature, staring at those six figures, could only lower their heads in submission.

 

However, all of a sudden…

 

*Boooooom…* The entire Void shuddered, and amidst that endless tide of Void Creatures, a path was forced open.

 

A path ten meters wide stretched into the distance, carved not by hand but by a vast and unseen force that pressed all aside.

 

And at its far end…

 

*Thud, thud…* Thunderous footsteps resounded, heavy and deliberate. Each step felt as though it was landing upon the hearts of those who heard them, causing every listener to shudder.

 

An aura belonging to the apex predator of the Void’s food chain spread through the surroundings, instilling in everyone an instinctive dread, bordering on sheer terror.

 

Despite the presence of so many Void Creatures, Yu Zi Yu showed no hesitation. Instead, his lips curved into a faint smile, as he introduced himself with majesty, “We’re the Void Hegemon, who transcends all. And all we demand from you is one thing and one thing only: obedience.”

 

His voice was calm, soft even, yet it sank like chains into every heart. None could resist. None could doubt.

 

The response was a wave of madness. A roar of ecstasy. Void Creature upon Void Creature howled in frenzy.

 

However, right then, Yu Zi Yu lifted his hand and pressed it down.

 

*Boooooom…* An unseen power smothered the tumult of the millions of Void Creatures, crushing it to silence.

 

And in that silence, Yu Zi Yu raised his gaze.

 

He was standing at the center of the stage, uncountable eyes converged upon him.

 

“Haha…* A low chuckle escaped his lips. And then, in a voice thick with temptation, he addressed the boundless horde, “Strive. Grow. And when you’ve stepped into Tier-6, you too may stand at my back, as they do.”

 

At the drop of these words…

 

*Shua, shua, shua…*

 

The Void flickered repeatedly, and out of it emerged figures shining with majesty of Gods and Demons, Zi Lian, Avril, and others.

 

One by one, they moved behind Yu Zi Yu, as if following, yet also submitting.

 

“We pay homage to the Void Hegemon…”

 

“We pay homage to the Void Hegemon…”

 

…

 

The voices of six Void Emperors echoed through the Void.

 

And with them, six Humanoid figures knelt down on one knee, prostrating before Yu Zi Yu.

 

To command the reverence of Void Emperors, such awe belonged only to one, the Supreme Void Hegemon, who transcends all.
