The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 683: Ascending 1, Evolution Energy, Orchos.

As Dreevindo said, a bright light descended from the black sky of chaosverse.

One could see a round hole in the sky that was releasing this bright light.

After a few seconds, the bright light dimmed as the stairs to the top were revealed.

"Remember! The power you acquired here was related to Order and Chaos. So once you go up on their stairs, all of your powers will converge. You will your realm's benefit that this Choasverse provided you. You will lose your original capabilities and will feel very weak as well because you all are going to a higher world."

A five-meter talk hunk Orchos Celestial shouted as he attracted everyone's attention.

"The only thing that will remain the same will be your soul and body. Naturally, you will become more powerful because of the Cynrailic Orchos Genome that we helped you develop. For some time, your main source of power will be the genome power that you have. However, you will get the opportunity to learn Orchos Firmamemnt's ways once ascending."

"Alright, now start moving towards your new journey."

Many Chaos Supremes shouted with excitement as they started ascending the large stairs.

The stairs path was a kilometer wide and had a distance of one hundred thousand steps to the top.

"Athan, sister Huarin, let's go!" Lily said with a smile as she also stepped on the stairs.

Athan and Huarin followed as well.

Right when they stepped on it, they felt an energy that was similar to one occasionally released by Orchos Celestial.

"It's orchos energy," Lily said.

"It's the same thing that is always present in ark space's atmosphere," Athan muttered before thinking internally, 'however, this energy inside the ark space was purer and ethereal. It's attached to the atmosphere of the ark space unlike the one on these stairs, which moving freely and untamed.'

…

As everyone moved on the stairs and ascended, they were feeling slight changes.

The orchos energy present everywhere on the stairs slowly seeped into their body.

However, if one stopped climbing, the orchos energy wouldn't do anything. It wouldn't seep in their body and do its work.

Naturally, there was one exception in this group of seventy-something Chaos Supremes.

Athan. He actually was not letting the orchos energy seep into him. Instead, he first devoured it with his abyssal darkness to get more understanding of it. Afterward, he took some into his void region for some experiments.

In the past seven years, he had unknowingly made more progress in his AVOF and reached 25%. This was due to him doing a lot of experiments with abyssal darkness and voidpulse as he created and destroyed a lot of things, resulting in him gaining more understanding of the Abyssal Void of Fabrication in the process.

"Interesting…," Athan muttered as he got some understanding of this orchos energy.

He created a few drops of blood with his voidpulse and let it go near the orchos energy. As Athan observed, he found that the blood slowly evolved to become more powerful. However, the interesting thing was the direction of its evolution.

The blood contained some chaotic energy of a black ice chaotic power. Even though Athan couldn't wield chaos and order energy normally and couldn't use chaotic powers, he could naturally create chaotic powers that he comprehended with his voidpulse. So, he imbued a bit of that chaotic power into the blood.

Now doing that caused the evolution of the blood into cold black blood. The orchos energy strengthened the black ice chaotic power in the blood and turned it into a proper catalyst that merged with blood. This caused the blood to evolve as it became more powerful and unique.

Athan was doing all this inside his void region so nobody could see it.

'Interesting energy. In simple words, this is the energy of evolution,' Athan thought, 'the whole Orchos Firmament should be filled with this energy. The beings in it must be using this in various ways to evolve themselves and get strong…I guess.'

'However, I must use this energy in my favor and not get bound the Orchos Firmament's system. I must incorporate the powers of Orchos Firmament into me and make them mine to make my body and soul even stronger in various ways,' thought Athan as a cold gleam passed through his eyes.

He looked in the sky, at the very top, where he could only see total brightness and a thin golden film, and thought, 'I don't need to accept the ways of Orchos Firmament and follow it to get strong. I will move on my own way, using my Abyssal Void of Fabrication.'

Athan decided to let the orchos energy enter inside him and observe what it does. Anyway, that energy was nothing in front of his abyssal darkness as he could just devour it any time he wanted.

"Athan, Lily, this energy is starting to transform my Supreme kingdom inside my chaos region,' Huarin said as he paused.

"keep moving, sister Huarin, don't stop," Lily said before nodding her head, "yeah. However, something entirely different is happening with me."

Next, Lily didn't say things out loud even though she covered a barrier around them. Instead, she sent a sound transmission to Athan and Huarin, "the Ark of Exordium seems to be doing something. I think Mimi's father must have planned this when I finally ascend to Orchos Firmament or come into contact with this absorbable orchos energy like this."

"What's happening?" Athan asked.

"Basically the same thing that the Orchos Celestial said. However, the orchos energy that Ark of Exordium is providing seems to be better. My mythic grade Cynrailic Orchos Genome is also bearing its fruit. It seems that it will turn into a relic soon," Lily said with some excitement.

"Do you know what do those so-called Relics to?" Athan asked.

"Nah, these Orchos Celestials haven't told it to us yet. Maybe they will tell us what it is and its benefits in detail later. For now, only I am exception about this," Lily said before she asked Huarin, "sister Huarin, is something happening to your Cynrailic Orchos Genome?"

"Nope," Huarin replied while shaking her head.

"Anyway, you two continue and reach the top fast," Athan said before he turned to Dreevindo back and shouted, "hey, Dreevindo! Come here.. I want to ask something."
