Chapter 694: Void Abyss


"You have such a heavy air of resentment."

In the office, Trozan was arranging flowers. She separated the flowers in layers according to their height, placing the blooming ones at the bottom and the smaller buds on top, creating a pleasing appearance.

"Isn't that how we Sword Masters should be?" Sonia sat across from her. "You said it yourself, sister. Revenge should be sought from morning till night, never leaving the pressure for sleep!"

"It's different," Trozan replied. "Sword Masters need to harbor a bit of anger to hone the blade and refine their Sword Intent. But resentment is different; it accumulates, taints the soul, dulls the mind, and can even become a loophole for Spirit Mages to exploit."

"Then how do you distinguish between anger and resentment?"

"It's simple. When you release anger, you'll feel much lighter inside and won't get mad when recalling past events," Trozan said. "But with resentment, even after venting, you'll still get more annoyed the more you think about it later."

Sonia thought for a moment and nodded in acknowledgment, "Then I am indeed filled with resentment."

After a brief silence, Trozan suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to ask how to resolve resentment?"

"I have my own method."

Trozan looked at Sonia in surprise and found her expression natural, with a gleam in her eyes, clearly not lying.

"I've always been someone who gets angry easily and holds grudges. I still remember those who wronged me when I was young. I used to bear and suppress it until now when I have mastered the power of a Holy Sanctuary Mage to show it," Sonia laughed softly. "I know this personality is bad, like a sword swung recklessly, but..."

A faint blush appeared on her face, and her voice became gentle, "I have found my sword scabbard."

"Hmph, you're straying from the right path of a Sword Master," Trozan said coldly. "A sword scabbard will only slow down your draw."

"But this way, everyone will think you hid for a day just to fish for lawbreakers, using the false news of your death to harshly punish those coveting your secrets," Trozan said calmly. "I'll tell others you've been hiding here with me – which is true."

Sonia hugged Trozan, affectionately pressing her face against the professor's cheek, and sweetly thanked her, "Thank you, Professor Sister!"

Sonia was actually logged into the Void Realm from the Meditation Building, but after Trozan returned from the Void Realm, she immediately went to the Meditation Building to quietly take her away. That's why the school couldn't find Sonia, as she was sleeping over at Trozan's place all along.

"Every unified Mage nation is now surely accounting for Holy Domain status," Trozan said, fiddling with the vase. "Not just to know who perished in the Ghost Prophet resurrection event, but also to find out who is the inheritor of the Kingdom of Thousand Wishes. After all, Holy Sanctuary Mages detached from Dream Heaven will surely hurry back to reality to rest, except the four black-robed mages inheriting the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes may linger in the realm longer."

"If any Holy Domain is asleep too long without quickly returning to reality, and recently advanced to Legendary, it will surely arouse suspicion."

Sonia widened her eyes towards Trozan, naturally hearing the warning, and nodded slowly, whispering, "I understand. Only half a year as Holy Domain, no half-year Legendary."

Hearing this, Trozan couldn't help but smirk. She stood up to give up her seat and sarcastically said, "Come, Miss Sevi, you sit down; I'll just stand. How dare I call myself a professor in front of you?"

Sonia laughed wryly, pulling Trozan to sit down and said, "Professor Sister, you can take on two of me with one hand; you are still my professor. Moreover, my soul suffered some injuries, so I might not be able to enter the Void Realm for a month or two. Maybe you'll climb Ruby Mountain during this time!"

The higher the mage level, the harder it is for soul injuries to heal. By the Holy Domain Legendary stage, healing might take at least six months. For old mages like the Alchemy King with a battle damage rate of 90%, they might only be rid of diapers by this time next year.

Sonia dared to say she would only need one or two months because she had the support of the Observer's potions, which could speed up soul recovery.

"Legendary..." Trozan also couldn't help but yearn slightly. "If you have time in the future, share with me your friends' experiences on Ruby Mountain."

Sonia chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Of course. By the way, how did you recognize me, Professor Sister?"

"Don't use the Evil Light Wave Motion Sword in front of people anymore," Trozan said softly. "Even if you use it, change the visual effects."

The village girl was startled, recalling that she had indeed used the Evil Light Wave Motion Sword while attacking the bubble barrier from within the Golden Hall! At that time, the other mages from Dream Heaven naturally could observe the miracles they cast!

"Just because of that?"

"Not just that," Trozan replied calmly. "That's why I went to the Meditation Building to find you just in case."

Sonia blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so good to me, Trozan Sister?"

"Didn't you listen to the lesson completely?" Trozan mocked. "Sword Masters need to keep a bit of anger, or they won't sharpen their swords; Sword Masters need to keep passionate, or they can't clean their swords."

"Sharpen the blade with anger, wash the sword with blood, then the blade becomes invincible, advancing courageously!"

Sonia was left a little stunned, nodding, "I understand."

"You understand now?"

"Anyway, it's because my sister Trozan spoils me!" Sonia hugged Trozan coquettishly, giggling, "You're my favorite teacher!"

"Are you really the favorite?" Trozan mocked.

"At least you're my favorite right now!" Sonia replied firmly, showing no embarrassment.

Just as Trozan looked disgusted and pushed Sonia's embrace away, their Miracle Bracelets suddenly vibrated continuously.

They opened them to see the same message.

"Emergency notice from the meteorological bureau: Void Realm portals have appeared at Steel Abyss, Sunken Ship Abyss, and Eyeball Abyss. The chances of Void Realm portals appearing around the Jiale City area have increased. Please report any discovered portals or unknown persons to the police department immediately."

"Void Realm portals appearing in the Abysses?" Sonia was puzzled, "And three Abysses at once... isn't that too coincidental?"

"All accidents in the world stem from unavoidable inevitabilities," Trozan pondered, "The four inheritances have just ended, and an unusual situation has arisen in reality, perhaps..."

"The influence of the four inheritances is only starting to manifest now."

...

...

Kingdom of Gospel, Yisu Imperial Palace.

"How much longer will it take to control the Divine Being of Gospel from below to above?"

Gospel Book replied: "It will take another 45 days to initially affect the Divine Being of Gospel, and 465 days to completely control it."

"Hooray!"

The Witch excitedly jumped on the bed, only to be bounced off due to the bed's elasticity. She didn't mind and lay on the carpet, fantasizing about the future.

Finally, there's a chance to escape the threat of the Divine Being of Gospel!

This promotion to Legendary, the primary beneficiary is indeed Diya. Because each time a Mage reaches a higher layer of the Void Realm, their soul undergoes a transformation, allowing them to accommodate higher-level Technique Spirits.

For Diya, bearing the Divine Being of Gospel with a Holy Domain soul compared to a Legendary soul is a completely different challenge. Originally, it would have taken a year to resist the brainwashing of the Divine Being of Gospel, but now she only needs to wait 58 days. Once the technique spreads nationwide and the people mobilize the bottom to top approach, she'll reach equilibrium with the Divine Being of Gospel!

At that point, even if she confesses to everyone that Lissdia is the Witch, she won't have her personality reformatted by the Divine Being!

She just needs over a month for her soul recovery, which she can afford to wait!

Diya initially thought 'starting from scratch with Ash,' but the Sword Maiden had too strong an early advantage. If Ash didn't have his psychological issues, she wouldn't have any chance at all. Even though Ash accepted her, their relationship still felt too fleeting and insubstantial, like a sandcastle in the mist that crumbles with a breeze or a wave - or even disturbed without either.

Holding on to past thoughts is outdated; once the bottom to top Miracle is completed, she can directly confess. Using their Shared Life and Death experience to add weight, she'll think of a way to lure Ash back to the Kingdom of Gospel; everything will be easier then!

But he'll definitely see Hanna when he returns... and even Qinna... what to do...

While the Witch brewed various conspiracies and schemes, her Gospel Book suddenly emerged automatically and popped out several messages:

"Void Realm portals have appeared at the bottoms of the Abysses in Vatican Mura, Azura, Hemera, Modora, Mongfera, and more, with more expected within ten days."

Abysses appearing with Void Realm portals?

Diya was stunned; it was the first time she'd seen such a mutation. But she didn't need to think; she asked directly: "Why are Void Realm portals appearing in the Abysses?"

This time, the Gospel Book took nearly ten minutes to calculate before giving the answer: "Because of the influence of Void Abyss."

"What is Void Abyss?"

"Void Abyss is an area of the Abyss or Underground polluted by the Void Realm. Due to the Void Realm's properties, the spatial barriers of Void Abyss are extremely weak, making Void Realm portals easily appear, while Void Realm also introduces new Technique Spirits applicable to Void Abyss. These subterranean Abysses with Void Realm portals are the Void Abyss regions."

"Summarize the influence of Void Abyss on Mages in one sentence."

Gospel Book: "Mages can easily traverse to other areas using Void Abyss."
