Void Evolution System

Whoosh!

While Damien was still enamored by the fact that there were elves in this world, the winds in the area kicked up and several figures suddenly emerged from thin air.

“Fire Phoenix clan, Ice Phoenix clan, Tribulation Vulture clan, Golden Crow clan…”

A myriad of top clans arrived at the same time, landing in the area near the White Dragon King. Seeing these fellow Beast Kings, he smiled.

“It seems you guys couldn’t miss out on this event either, huh.”

“Of course not! What kind of idiot would choose to skip the opening of the Primordial Undying Realm?!” A hook-nosed old man sneered.

“Ha! Aren’t you that kind of idiot, Old Vulture? When the realm opened 10,000 years ago, you were nowhere to be found!” An old man with crimson gold hair jeered back.

“What do you know?! I was in the middle of a serious cultivation bottleneck at the time. Don’t fart without knowing anything, Old Crow.”

The two old men glared at each other in contempt.

“Those two are just as lively as always, aren’t they?” A crimson-haired woman wryly smiled.

“Indeed. Those two will never give up the opportunity to jab at each other.” A woman with light blue hair responded.

These were naturally the Tribulation Vulture and Golden Crow Patriarchs as well as the two Phoenix Matriarchs.

“Old Bai, I trust you’ve been well?” A white-haired man greeted.

“Haha, Brother White Tiger, I’ve naturally been well. As for you, it looks like you’ve become an old man already.”

“As if. Between us, you know it’s you who’ll lose every time.”

“Oh? I’d like to test that theory.”

“Right here, right now? You know I’m always ready for a bout.”

“Kuhum.” The Ice Phoenix Matriarch let out a light cough. “What happened to your roles as dignified elders? Did you forget that the juniors are still around?”

The four men suddenly came back to their senses, awkwardly coughing. While the Tribulation Vulture and Golden Crow clans were always at each other’s necks for unknown reasons, the White Dragon King and White Tiger King were different.

Their relationship was more of a healthy rivalry, something fueled by their bloodlines. Dragons were the kings of the sea while tigers were kings of the mountains. Although neither of them had truly reached the level of their ancestral beasts, the rivalry of their bloodlines was still plentiful.

Whenever they met, they tended to get lost in their desire to fight one another.

“Old Bai, I heard you brought two new kids as your representatives this time, but I didn’t expect for them to be humans!” The Fire Phoenix Matriarch suddenly pointed out, looking inquisitively at Damien and Ruyue.

Her gaze was scorching as if trying to burn away the layers and find the truth. Frankly, Damien was feeling extremely awkward under her gaze.

‘I mean, can I really be blamed in this sort of situation?’

The Fire Phoenix Matriarch may have been over 10,000 years old, but her face and body didn’t look a day older than 30. Damien couldn’t help but think of a certain 4 letter word from earth that starts with an m when he saw her.

But he didn’t let her beauty affect him too much. In the next second, he turned his gaze towards the woman to his side and sighed in satisfaction.

Those sharp golden eyes and flowing white hair, coupled with her voluptuous body, Ruyue didn’t lose out to those phoenixes at all. Besides, he could look at her as long as he wanted, unlike with them.

‘Ah, I’ve been cleansed.’

Ruyue, who sensed his scorching gaze that was not one bit weaker than the Fire Phoenix Matriarch’s, wanted to pinch him, but a second layer, she managed to understand the situation and stopped herself.

She even unconsciously pushed her chest out in pride. ‘That’s right, no matter how beautiful you are, he still chose to look at me!’

It was a sense of triumph that she suppressed as soon as she discovered it, but Damien was watching her intently, so he didn’t miss her slight actions.

Realizing once again how cute she could be sometimes, he turned his gaze back towards the crowd in front of him. Rather than focusing on those Beast Kings, who had already moved in with their conversation, he turned his gaze towards the younger generation behind them.

Two heavenly maidens on the same level as Ruyue, two men who smelled like richness, and another man who was constantly emanating fighting spirit.

‘What an interesting crowd.’ Damien thought inwardly. He quickly poured mana into his eyes, his true purpose from the beginning.

In that instant, a myriad of colors showed themselves to him, as well as tangible auras that seemed to demonstrate many things.

For a second, Damien was shocked. He was receiving much more information from his eyes than he usually did when he put mana into them. Although he wanted to check his status and see if there were any changes, he still decided to wait until later. The more important task was to glean as much as he could before the others noticed the power of his gaze.

But it wasn’t like he had much time. In only a few seconds, Feng Qing’er, Lunaria Snow, and the rest snapped their heads in his direction.

When they saw those swirling amethyst red pupils, their eyes sharpened and their mana revolved, creating screens that disallowed Damien from seeing as much as he wished.

Although they couldn’t completely block his eyes, he didn’t feel the need to let them know that. Besides, a few seconds was more than enough time to figure out what he needed.

His pupils stopped their unnatural swirling and returned to their original calm. At that moment, he lightly smiled at those other geniuses.

“Oho, it seems your candidates this time are truly interesting.” The White Tiger King commented. These Beast Kings had naturally seen through the small commotion taking place behind them.

“Hahaha, aren’t they? I have high hopes for what these two can accomplish.” The White Dragon King grinned back.

“Old Bai, didn’t you teach your disciples that it isn’t good to peek on others without their consent?”

“Of course, of course I would teach them such common manners, however, as they say, all is fair in love and war.”

“Tch.”

The group continued towards the city as if nothing happened, completely ignoring the tension that was coming from the atmosphere behind them.

‘Damien, what did you see?’ Ruyue asked curiously through mental transmission.

Damien thought for a second before answering. He had truly seen much more than he expected. Rather than just their mana and a rough gauge of their aura, he instead saw…

It was faint, extremely faint, but he was sure of it. Within his gaze, there was a small holographic screen in front of each and every person he looked at. A screen that he was very familiar with.

It was their status sheets.

Sadly, he wasn’t able to clearly see them nor the information written on them, but he was sure that the evolution of his eyes would grant him an extremely useful ability.

Shaking his head, he decided to reply to Ruyue.

‘They’re strong, very strong, and it doesn’t seem like everything on the 3000 Beast Record is as truthful as we thought. However, with the two of us together, it should be doable.’

Imperceptible nodding her head, Ruyue continued walking as if nothing happened. And in no time, their small yet attention-grabbing group had entered the elven city under the World Tree.
