The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 677: Settling.

'I see, then we will have to move carefully after arriving at the Orchos Firmament,' Lily said with a solemn expression, ' I am definitely sure that they are still searching for Mimi and want this treasure back.'

Athan nodded as he knew that those people were at the top or near the top, even in Orchos Firmament.

'I also have to settle some score with that Elvidelen,' Athan thought with cold eyes as he still remembered how he was chased around, made fun of, and in the end, suffered unimaginable pain in the darkness of nothingness. Compared to that, the torture he suffered in his first life didn't even feel like tickles.

Lily then told Athan everything she knew about people who were after Mimi and the Ark of Exordium.

...

"what were you talking about among yourselves?" Mimi asked curiously after seeing Athan and Lily arrive at the table.

"Nothing important," Athan said with a smile before he nodded at Huarin as greeting and then spoke, "I am going to enter meditation for ten years."

"Ten years!" Mimi exclaimed before she pouted. However, she knew that Athan was in a hurry to get strong before ascending to Orchos Firmament. Hence, she smiled and nodded, "ok, I will wait for brother Athan."

"Meow~ Master, we will also get strong and help you," Lucky arrived and said.

SkyLord and the other three were also determined. After all, who would they help if not their Master? Athan was literally like a parent to them.

Athan grinned and spoke, "let's make our bonds even stronger. I will use my soul abilities on you and give you boosts like the two little guys in my void region."

"Two little guys?"

Athan decided to let them out since they would feel more comfortable in this ark space filled with omni-origin energy.

His void region was a good place, but it was literally a void space without any liveliness and energy in it. So, it was better that they stay in this mystical environment of ark space.

Since Reigen and Limbus were in miniature form, they looked cute.

Both of them were in slumber right now, and Athan didn't want to disturb them, so Athan had put them in a transparent bubble that isolated surroundings. He created this bubble using voidpulse.

Athan waved his hand as Reigen and Limbus flew towards the back of the mountain range, where it was a large forest kingdom filled with many houses and games like an entertainment park.

This was created a long time ago by Mimi and all altar spirits of his, Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike.

Afterward, Athan used Touch of Transcendence and Seed of Transcedency on Lucky, Skylord, Lucent, DeathKnight, and Silvestra one by one.

Once they were done, Lucky and others also went to their forest kingdom and entered into deep slumber akin to deep meditation there.

"Brother Athan, can you use your power on me?" Mimi asked with an excited expression, "they sound so cool based on them."

"Me too, Athan!" Lily said with a grin, "let me become the class of being as you."

She then turned to Huarin and said, "sister Huarin, you should also do that."

Huarin smiled at Lily and nodded, "If you are doing that, then how could I say no as your elder sister?"

Athan looked at them and was kind of glad that Lily got a trustworthy companion like Huarin in her second life. He was sure that Huarin must have guided and helped Lily a lot to learn about life.

Athan then used his special soul abilities on Mimi, Lily, and Huarin one by one.

Among them, Lily's soul was strongest, followed by Mimi and then Huarin.

"Ohh...I feel very strong now, brother Athan," Mimi said with a pleasantly surprised expression.

"Brother Athan, since you are entering meditation, then I should also upgrade my genome tree, hehe," Mini said with a chuckle as a portal opened behind Mini that exuded faint light gold and barn red glow.

Before entering inside the portal, Mimi said with a grin, "I will also probably come back in 10 years."

"Wait, Mimi. You should first focus on fully transcending your soul," Athan said as he stopped Mimi, "since your soul is already strong, you can accelerate the process by entering meditation and finish it in six months."

"Since brother Athan says so, I will do that," Mimi nodded as she closed the portal and went to her bed before sitting crossed-legged on it.

"She doesn't want to become a burden and is eager to help you when the time comes as well," Lily said softly.

Athan and Huarin nodded.

"Alright, then I will enter meditation while you two can just live normally. Your transformation will finish in at most four years even if you don't meditate," Athan said.

"Yeah, we will see what's going on outside and inform you once it's time to ascend to the Orchos Firmament," Lily said.

...

After Athan entered meditation, Lily and Huarin left the ark space.

Some Orchos Celestials were still there, but there were no candidates since all of them returned to recover their souls. After all, they were peak powerhouses here and surely had treasures to recover their soul.

"Lady Lily, how do you know Athan?" Dreevindo asked with curiosity.

Lingardim also spoke with a wry smile, "It's really worrying that you both anomalies know each other."

Lily smiled and spoke, "Athan and I lived in the same world in our first life and...," pausing there, her smile turned a bit sad as she shook his head and didn't continue with this topic.

"Anyway, Lingardim. We will be at my usual place, so come there when it's time to leave," Lily said before she and Huarin entered the Ark again and left.

The Ark had its own separate dimension, so no one could sense it, and it was entirely invisible to other people. Since it was also fully activated, Lily could move it as well. As such, she controlled Ark and left.

Meanwhile, the Orchos Celestials looked at each other and sighed.

"I fear that a large ruckus will happen in the game because of these two."

"Lady Lily...I think even the masters of our kingdoms, who are Epic Orchos Primes, also won't be able to sense her," Lingardim said with a thoughtful expression, "I've been carefully observing every time I see Lady Lily disappearing and appearing so I know that this ability of hers is really tricky and...it's either related to her physique or...an artifact."

"Ohh?" Dreevindo was surprised before he spoke with a weak smile, "actually, I am unable to see through Athan in the slightest when he activates some kind of his power. Even Yok couldn't see through him when he used his power."

Yok nodded and spoke, "Also, I and Dreevindo have noticed that we wouldn't be able to sense Athan's presence sometimes even if he is standing in front of you. It's like he doesn't exist. However, if he attacks using his power or body, we can sense it. Meanwhile, that Lily can disappear and appear at will, these two combined together is going to very troublesome if they become our enemies."

"Cough, I am still here."

Suddenly, Lily appeared at her previous location and grinned cheekily as she heard their conversations.

"Ahh, we are just discussing about your strange powers," Dreevindo smiled wryly and spoke, "don't worry, we will not even dream of becoming your enemies even if you were in Orchos Firmament because your potential is really scary to us."

Yok grinned and nodded repeatedly, "indeed, indeed.. It's not worth it."
