We had all moved to a different place, deciding to shut down the entire war hall and keep it to ourselves for the ti being. It was the perfect place for our training, free from distractions.
Park Jieun was progressing at an exceptional pace, her progress staggering as she neared the threshold of the Heavenly Soul stage. It was only a matter of ti before she would reach it, and honestly, I was amazed at how quickly she was advancing. But what surprised even more was that both Eun-woo and Seong-hoon had entered the Soul Split stage almost simultaneously. Seong-hoon was a little faster, though, and that made sense. It was as if the two of them were in so kind of competition to see who could train faster. Seriously, I swear, n can be so silly sotis. I couldn't help but sigh, though a smile tugged at the corners of my mouth. They were so determined, and I admired that, even if it was a bit ridiculous.
But there was one person who truly left an impression on today—Seo-yeon. She was impressively fast at grasping what I'd explained, and the power of her ice energy shot through the roof. I could even feel the cold creeping into my bones as her power surged. She reached the Soul Split stage in no ti, and it was nothing short of amazing. The way her ice power radiated was so potent that it seed far more intense than Seong-hoon's. But then again, he had a different kind of strength—physical and agile—sothing that Seo-yeon lacked. It was hard to say who was stronger between them. Both were powerful in their own ways, and I couldn't help but wonder who would co out on top when the ti ca for us to face the real battles.
Min-jae and Ji-hoon were struggling, their progress slow. They had barely managed to reach the Soul Orb stage, and to them, cultivation seed like a new concept—sothing they had only attained with the help of the system. When they heard that they could potentially break free from the system, they were ecstatic. Ji-hoon clenched his fists in determination, swearing to that he would reach the next stage alongside .
"Empress, I vow to you that I will reach that stage and escape the system with you," Ji-hoon declared, his voice filled with sincerity. "If we need to fight the so-called Creator at the end of it all, we'll help you. We'll win, or we'll die together."

And there they went again with their vows. It touched , honestly, but I didn't want them to face sothing so dangerous. The weight of their words, the sense of duty in their eyes, only reminded of the responsibility I carried. But I couldn't let them suffer because of .
Three days passed, and during that ti, Min-jeong surprised . She was the first to reach the Heavenly Soul stage, even faster than Jieun. That made stop and think—who was truly the talent here? Min-jeong's progress was beyond impressive. When she reached her new stage, the entire room was filled with a sweet scent of flowers. Her aura shifted and grew to the point where she could fight , and that realization was humbling. What pushed my own strength to unimaginable levels were the system and my ridiculous level—factors that Min-jeong had overco with sheer determination and talent. I couldn't help but admire her.
Jieun quickly followed suit. When she reached the Heavenly Soul realm, the sky itself seed to respond. Even though it was dayti, the heavens shimred with countless stars, creating an unexplainable phenonon. It was a breathtaking display of her power, a testant to the extraordinary nature of the stage she had reached.
In the midst of all this, I had also reached the peak of the Heavenly Soul realm. I had mastered the Laws of Thunder and the Five Elents, but there was still more to learn. The next step was mastering the laws of Life and Death—sothing the eerie voice warned would truly push my limits and comprehension. It said that my talent was unlike anything the world had ever seen. I didn't know what world it was referring to, but hearing that gave mixed emotions. On one hand, it made proud, but on the other, it made wonder just how much more I had to learn.
The eerie voice had also ntioned that, for a normal person, it would take around a hundred years to reach the end of the Heavenly Soul stage. But for , it felt almost effortless. I had passed through the stage as if it were nothing. This revelation was shocking to —it shouldn't have been so easy. And while I couldn't help but feel proud of how far I'd co, I reminded myself not to get cocky. The road ahead was still uncertain, and I couldn't afford to let my pride cloud my judgnt.
On the fourth day, Seong-hoon, Eun-woo, and Seo-yeon all reached the Heavenly Soul stage, their growth astounding. anwhile, Min-jae and Ji-hoon were still stuck at the Soul Split stage, struggling despite the collective effort of everyone around them. With our guidance, they had reached the threshold, and by the fifth day, they too had ascended, finally joining us at the Heavenly Soul stage. While they were elated, I couldn't help but feel the pressure weighing down on . I was so close, yet there was sothing I couldn't quite grasp. The Life Law—it eluded , slipping through my fingers just as I thought I was about to seize it.
The Death Law, on the other hand, was no challenge. After all, I was a Death Eater, born to devour and destroy. I had a deep understanding of death, of souls, and the process of ending life, but Life was a mystery. The more I tried to comprehend it, the more it seed to slip further out of reach. It was frustrating, and the weight of that frustration pressed heavily on . The monster had yet to appear on the horizon, which gave so relief and a small window of ti, but I knew I couldn't keep delaying the inevitable. I needed to master this.
