Aiden then suddenly asked, “By the way, Astralium, aren’t you a spirit of the Void? So how did I awaken something related to Darkness and Death, and the same with Chloe?”

Astralium, residing in his soul sea, opened his eyes upon hearing him and replied, “Void, at the end of the day, means nothing, just like how Death reduces things to nothingness or how Darkness conceals them. I wasn’t born a Void Spirit; I reached this stage from being a Dark spirit to a Death spirit and then finally to a Void Spirit. Now, I am working with you so that I can evolve or advance further.”

Saying so, Astralium went back to his meditative position near the Cube.

Hearing his answer, Aiden nodded and then asked Myne, “How about you?”

“I was human, and then the World Will allowed me to become a Light Spirit,” Myne shrugged and replied.

“Can you evolve too?” Aiden asked.

“I can, and if Fate allows, I might be able to evolve here in this world,” Myne said with a certain yearning in her voice.

“How so?” Aiden asked.

[Let me explain,] Nexus said.

[Here, the mainstay is Spirits, right?] Nexus asked.

Aiden nodded, and then Nexus continued.

[So the legacies would involve passing down their Spirit or at least their Spirit essence, right?]

Hearing him, Aiden understood how Myne could evolve further here.

“I see, so if I collect enough Light-related spirits’ essence, I can evolve her?” Aiden said.

[Precisely so,] Nexus replied.

[Though, you can also earn points and evolve her; it’s totally your wish,] Nexus further added.

Aiden nodded and checked his points.

System Points: 1,657

He was able to collect this amount from all the minor system quests, which mostly included enhancing his knowledge and other minor tasks.

Speaking of rewards, Aiden gazed at his wrist, where a beautiful bracelet coiled around. It was platinum-colored with blue energy-like veins running all over it and a white pearl held in the middle. Aiden used his Akashic sight on it.

*******

“So, the first ability is this,” Aiden mumbled, seeing the description.

When he first received it, he felt like crying as it showed nothing but question marks all over it. After a year of hard work, when Aiden gained enough physical strength to accept his First Authority, he chose Akashic Lord. When he used it on the bracelet, it showed only the name and no other information aside from the fact that it had seven more abilities, all unknown and locked, except for the first, which showed the unlock condition that required him to awaken his spirit.

[It seems powerful to me] Nexus commented.

” it is cause, imagine Aiden fighting anyone and then he releases 10 spirits, it would become 1 vs 11″ Myne said.

Aiden nodded and then he said.

” I will try to chose best and useful spirits” Aiden said.

He then looked at the Cultivation manual given to him by the King himself.

He looked over it and three it aside and, then looked at the other two rewards he gained after completing the first ever quest in this world.

Nine Hell Soul Art.

A cultivation Technique that allow the user to wield nine different kinds of Hellish Elements and incorporates them into his own Spirit.

At First Level one can gain Access to Hell Flames, a Flame that can burn both Physical and non physical matter.

Aiden nodded seeing this and then begin to study it, as he is currently only Spirit Apprentice, he can only study the First Stage, The Soul Flame stage.

Aiden closed his eyes, and begin to refine the spirit energy according to it.

As he closed his eyes his three spirits formed a Triangle formation around him and then atmospheric Energy passed through thia formation before reaching Aiden.

Auden who was cultivating, felt the pure energy and nodded, after all its quality was very good.

After 6 hours.

Aiden opened his eyes and looked at himself, feeling the immense power surging within. He saw he already reached the peak of the Spirit Apprentice realm. “Looks like I underestimated my spirits,” Aiden chuckled to himself. The cultivation session had been more productive than he ever imagined.

He knew that revealing his true progress would draw unwanted attention, so he decided to use Falsify. Concentrating, he altered the perception of his realm, making it appear as if he was still at the lower level of the Spirit Apprentice realm. The world would see him as just another beginner, hiding his rapid advancement.

“Better safe than sorry,” he muttered, satisfied with the illusion. After all, even the highest record of advancing to the middle realm was six days, and he had reached the peak in just six hours. Going outside without hiding his realm would be like using an axe to chop his own legs.

Content with his progress and the new cultivation technique, Aiden decided to explore the other reward he had received: an egg.

The egg was pure black, almost absorbing the light around it. Aiden sat cross-legged and gently cradled the egg in his hands. He began to pour Spirit Energy into it, carefully mixing the energies from his three spirits—Golden Sword that Severs Everything, Death Dragon of Infinite Darkness, and Destiny Thread of Million Miracles—with the essence of Hell Flame.

As the energy flowed into the egg, it seemed to pulse and hum with life. Aiden could feel a connection forming between him and the egg, a bond of sorts. The egg buzzed with contentment, and he knew it was receiving the nourishment it needed.

Satisfied, Aiden stopped pouring energy and placed the egg back into his Spirit Sea. It settled there, surrounded by the energies he had given it, continuing to absorb and grow.

”

I wonder what will come out,” Aiden mumbled, curiosity and anticipation swirling within him. He lay down on his bed, pretending to sleep, while his mind raced with possibilities of how this assassin was going to attempt to kill him.

As Aiden closed his eyes, a figure clad in black clothes silently entered his room. Moving with muffled steps, the figure approached Aiden’s bed, took out a dagger, and began to stab the sleeping Aiden repeatedly. Only after several stabs did the assassin stop, gazing mockingly at Aiden’s bloodied body.

“You’re only a genius if you live,” the figure sneered, standing up and turning to leave. Halfway out, the assassin suddenly bent over and coughed blood.

“How?” the figure mumbled in disbelief.

Step… step…

Hearing the footsteps, the assassin looked up to see Aiden approaching. Frozen in shock, the assassin watched as Aiden bent down, grabbed the mask, and pulled it off, revealing a beautiful jade-like face with plump lips and mesmerizing eyes.

“Queen Sylpa, why would you try to assassinate me?” Aiden asked coldly.

Queen Sylpa kept her mouth shut, glaring angrily at Aiden.

“Hmm, let me guess, I’m taking the place of your son, who was supposed to join the Sect tomorrow,” Aiden said.

Her eyes widened in shock. “How?” she asked.

“How did I poison you? Well, you did it yourself. You stabbed yourself multiple times with the poisoned dagger you brought for me,” Aiden replied with a shrug. Queen Sylpa’s eyes widened further in disbelief before she succumbed to the poison’s effects.

“Wow, she sure is vicious. She used a poison that can kill a Spirit Grandmaster like her in a few seconds on a newly awakened me,” Aiden shook his head and looked at her dead body.

Caressing his chin, Aiden contemplated her body before calling upon his second spirit ability. He placed his hand on her head and murmured, “Eternal Follower.”

Spirit energy gushed out of him like a torrent, causing him to groan. He accessed his system shop and used 10 points to buy a high-grade Spirit Stone. Crushing the stone, he supplemented the required spirit energy.

Sylpa’s dead body began to be covered in pure white cloth, even her face was covered, leaving only a slit for her eyes, which showed a red iris. Sylpa now looked like a being covered head to toe in white clothes, with only her eyes visible. She gazed at Aiden, bent her knee, and saluted him.

Aiden watched her, satisfied with the transformation. “From now on, you’ll serve me, Queen Sylpa,” he said, his voice resolute. Sylpa, now an eternal follower, remained silent but her loyalty was evident in her unwavering stance.

Aiden then used Akashic Insight on her.
