Riya woke up in her room with a slightly confused expression. She felt like her concept had finally reached a bottleneck—she couldn’t improve it any further or even understand it properly.
At first, she didn’t know what to do, even after defeating a high-level False God Realm expert. But upon waking up, clarity struck her.
She needed to break through to a higher realm first. That ant more battles to the death or directly killing those who possessed the Concept of Nothingness. However, she had no idea where to find them.
And even if she did, she wouldn’t dare to go after them. They could be stronger than her—seeking them out would an certain death.
Riya stood up from her bed and headed to the shower.
Water droplets cascaded down her body, cooling her temperature as her tense muscles relaxed. Realization hit her—she wouldn’t be stuck at the False God Realm forever. A small smile crept onto her lips.
"Ishould see Sujikn soon... I need to battle more high-level False God beings," Riya thought as she continued her bath.
A Few Minutes Later
A graceful, feminine figure stepped out as Riya walked to her wardrobe. She picked out a fitted shirt and pants before heading straight to the lab.
In seconds, she arrived and found Sujikn slumped in a chair, her eyes lifeless.
"Miss Sujikn," Riya called, snapping Sujikn out of her daze.
"Y-Yes... yes, Miss Riya... You’re awake?" Sujikn stamred, scrambling to her feet.
Her expression was flustered, making Riya raise an eyebrow. "Are you okay?" Riya asked.
Sujikn sighed. She couldn’t bring herself to say it—not yet. She wasn’t ntally prepared for the princess’s reaction.
"I’m fine, Princess... Why are you here?" Sujikn asked. Normally, after such an intense battle like yesterday’s, Riya would rest for a day or two. But now, she was already dressed like she was heading into another fight.
"I’m stuck at a bottleneck, so I need to fight more beings to break through," Riya stated.
Sujikn instantly frowned and opened her mouth to speak—but no words ca out.
She recalled the tragic future that awaited the princess. But stopping her from breaking through just because of her health was foolish. If she couldn’t advance, she would die.
With a sigh, Sujikn opened the door to the simulation room.
None of this escaped Riya’s notice. She could clearly tell that Sujikn was hiding sothing from her. But what?
As she pondered, the surroundings changed, transforming into a vast desert.
"Is my father dead? Or my mother?" Riya wondered. "No... If that were the case, the entire race would be in mourning. If it were my siblings, I would have heard about it. So what is it?"
Her mind churned with unanswered questions. Then, finally, sothing clicked.
"What happened to recently?"
The experint.
That ant sothing had gone wrong.
Riya’s thoughts spiraled. Am I going to die? Otherwise, why would Sujikn keep it a secret from her?
But she didn’t have ti to think any further.
A terrifying aura appeared in front of her.
She couldn’t retreat in ti, so she instinctively raised both arms in defense.
BOOM!
A deafening sound erupted as cracks spread across the desert floor.
Riya was sent skidding back hundreds of ters before she finally ca to a stop. Pain throbbed through her arms.
Looking up, she caught sight of her attacker’s face—it looked familiar.
"Isn’t that Muyin?" Riya thought.
Muyin was her lover. But lately, she had been too busy and had completely forgotten to talk to him.
She smiled, imagining how many ssages were probably waiting for her on her communication device.
Then her expression darkened.
The last thing she rembered, Muyin was at the peak of the False God Realm.
That ant...
Her gaze snapped toward the observation deck—where Sujikn was standing.
Behind the glass, Sujikn clenched her fists as she watched Riya’s frowning expression.
"I’m sorry, Princess... but I have to put you through nightmare mode. You have to survive, and this is the only way... I have to constantly push you to your limit."
******
Elsewhere...
Riding atop a wyvern, Muyin felt free. This was the joy of flying—feeling unrestricted, able to see everything from above, sorting out his thoughts calmly.
"With a speed of twenty thousand ters per second, it’ll take a day to reach the Forest of Pasis. So what should I do in the anti?" Muyin mused.
He knew the direction, the beasts’ territories, and their movents. There wasn’t much else to plan.
In his past life, he had lived on tenterhooks—even as an immortal cultivator equivalent to the Minor God Realm, he had never felt at peace.
All because of Riya’s beauty, he had made enemies everywhere. Her betrayal had only made the pain worse.
"I guess, for once, I should rest a bit," Muyin thought as he slowly closed his eyes.
After years of running and scheming in his past life, he deserved so peace now.
As for the wyvern, it already knew the route to the Forest of Pasis. Muyin didn’t have to do anything. It would take him there on its own.
***********
Forest of Pasis
It had been one day since Kael arrived in the Forest of Pasis, and the female immortal observing him was utterly baffled.
Kael hadn’t attacked anyone. He hadn’t hunted.
All he did was find a small, hidden space and use it as a temporary base. Every ten minutes, he would leave to explore the forest for an hour. Then he would return, change locations, and repeat the process.
He did this for an entire day.
The female immortal quickly lost interest and left. The only reason she had been there was to explore the middle lands before the upcoming battle between those two.
Unbeknownst to Kael, his cautious behavior had just averted a hidden danger.
On the third day, he finally stopped.
A grin spread across his face.
"The plan can begin," Kael murmured.
For two days, Kael had been observing the beasts in the area using his All-Seer ability, and he made a terrifying discovery—if you’re not at the False God Realm, don’t even think about stepping in. The weakest beasts here were at the False God Realm.
Terrifying, right? So how did Kael move around unnoticed?
Simple. He found a use for his Oblivion Body.
This ability possessed a trait that could be toggled on and off—the combined power of Nothingness and Void.
Void Body – Kael could remove himself from this reality and enter a null reality, a space of absolute nothingness where he could hide undetected. However, the passage of ti was extre—one second inside was equivalent to a full day outside. The first ti he entered, even for less than a second, nearly ten hours had passed in the real world. That realization terrified him.
Nothingness Body – This ability made it as if Kael wasn’t there at all. His aura, physical presence, and even visibility disappeared completely. Unlike re invisibility, which could be countered by things like paint or special colors, Nothingness left no trace whatsoever.
The Nothingness Realm existed within normal reality, unlike the Void Realm, which was separated from both normal reality and the Conceptual Reality—the plane where all concepts originate, also known as the Origin Reality.
By rging these two traits with his Chaos Body, Kael ford the Incomplete Oblivion Body. With this ability, he could move freely without hindrance—except in the Central Forest. Every ti he even considered stepping into that place, an overwhelming sense of impending death gripped him. So, he avoided it entirely.
Over the past two days, Kael had been studying the behavior of the Fierce Beasts. He discovered that they loved to fight, which gave him an idea. While gathering chaotic energy from their battles, he realized it still wasn’t enough. So, he devised a plan.
Weaker Fierce Beasts lived within the territories of stronger ones in a hierarchical system—offering at in exchange for protection.
During his observations, Kael discovered a hidden cave belonging to a particularly powerful Fierce Beast—a massive snake-like creature, nearly fifty ters long. Inside the cave, a single golden egg lay carefully guarded. The snake was so protective of it that it refused to let even its subordinates co near, establishing a one-kiloter death zone around it.
Kael grinned.
Nearby, in another territory, he had spotted a wolf-like Fierce Beast—25 ters long, with a towering shoulder height of 10 ters. It had the traits of a wolf but was much stronger and larger.
The snake and the wolf were the perfect pair for his plan.
Kael waited for the snake beast to leave its cave before sneaking inside.
The darkness within would have blinded any normal person, but Kael was a demigod—such darkness was nothing to him.
Using All-Seer, he scanned the egg:
Na: Golden Snake Egg
Rank: ???
Bloodline: Contains the lineage of a terrifying snake species. If it hatches, it will grow to at least the High God Fierce Beast Realm.
Kael’s eyes glead with amusent.
No wonder the snake guarded this egg so fiercely—it was likely its offspring, one destined to awaken a terrifying bloodline.
Originally, Kael had only planned to steal the egg and place it in the wolf beast’s territory, forcing the snake to track it down and engage in a battle. But now... he changed his mind.
If this beast was truly destined to reach the High God Realm, then its bloodline had to be extraordinary.
Kael grinned.
Not only would he let the two beasts fight, gathering an imnse amount of chaotic energy, but he would also keep the egg for himself.
Now, one question remained—what kind of snake species was this golden egg from?
