Legacy of the Void Fleet

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Wu continued, ”The Void Fleet’s arrival is significant, and they have made a request to the Star Fleet—one that has been forwarded to me by Commander Yu Tong. The Void Fleet wishes for their presence to be introduced to Earth through us while ensuring that no negative incidents occur, as happened with the Star Fleet before.”

He paused, scanning the faces of the other leaders. ”This is the reason I have called you all here. My empire could have handled this alone, but having—”

Before he could finish, Emperor Maximum interjected smoothly, ”But having the endorsement of all four global powers can ensure a wider yet more positive effect. Is that what you’re saying?”

Wu’s lips twitched slightly at the interruption, but he gave a nod. ”Precisely.”

The room fell silent for a moment as each leader processed this revelation, understanding the weight of what was being asked of them.

They continued to discuss the matter at length, carefully planning how to proceed with introducing the Void Fleet to the world. Many ideas were proposed and debated, with each leader weighing the risks and benefits of different approaches.

After thorough deliberation, they finally agreed on a gradual strategy. They would start by subtly introducing theories—suggesting that a new spacefaring power had emerged, separate from the Star Fleet. Alongside these theories, they would release carefully selected images of Void Fleet ships.

Given the striking resemblance of their designs to a well-known sci-fi franchise, Star Wars, the public would undoubtedly find it intriguing. This would naturally spark curiosity, with people speculating whether these theories were real or just another elaborate hoax.

Once enough interest and speculation had built up, the four global powers would collectively release official statements confirming the Void Fleet’s existence, presenting them as allies rather than an unknown or potentially hostile force.

With the broad strokes of their plan agreed upon, the discussion shifted to finer details, ensuring that every step would be executed with precision.

With everything settled and every detail in place, the four leaders rose from their seats. The primary agenda of the conference had been achieved, and now it was time for each of them to return to their respective nations and put their plans into motion.

Just as they had arrived, they were escorted with the same level of formality and security back to the imperial airport. There, their respective aircraft awaited them, ready to take them back to their empires and states.

As each leader boarded their transport, they carried with them the weight of what had been decided—knowing that their next steps would shape not only the perception of the Void Fleet but also the future balance of power on Earth and beyond.

Meanwhile, in the Universal Plane, Kallus was fully immersed in his cultivation. While only three days had passed in the external world, he had spent nearly eight and a half years cultivating in this realm. When he finally awakened from his deep cultivation state, he realized that he had reached the peak of the SSS+ rank and had broken through the barrier that had previously prevented him from attaining the next power rank—the rank of Master.

He could have reached this realm faster without worrying about his foundation destabilizing, thanks to his superior physique, soul, bloodline, and cultivation technique, which ensured his foundation remained as strong as possible. However, another challenge awaited him: the higher he climbed, the more mana he was required to absorb—an astronomical amount that surged by a factor of 100 with each rank. Despite this, the demand was less of an issue for him, as his body could produce infinite mana of any energy type.

You might ask, ”If he has infinite mana, why does he even need to cultivate?” why not just cast the technique and skills infinitely? Well, the answer is obvious.

Limitations of the Body and Soul – While he can indeed generate infinite mana, his body—especially as a dragon—is not truly limitless. Dragons are far stronger than humans or any other species, but even they have their limits, you know?

Sure, he might be a special and unique existence, even among dragons, which does raise his limits. But ultimately, he still has to face them. Can his body truly withstand such an overwhelming amount of energy? Can his soul bear the burden? The answer is no.

Even his unique soul wouldn’t be able to prevent the consequences of excessive and continuous use of infinite mana. Without cultivation, his body and soul would collapse under the sheer pressure.

Mana ≠ Life Rank & Lifespan – Having infinite mana does not directly impact his life rank or lifespan.

While he can indeed live for millions of years simply because of what he has become after awakening as a Primordial Golden White Dragon, that alone does not define his true potential.

Cultivation allows him to refine his existence. With every breakthrough, his physical body, soul, and awakened sea of consciousness are nourished and strengthened. It also elevates his lifespan even further, pushing his limits beyond what he was naturally born with, ultimately unlocking his full potential.

He smiled broadly as he surveyed his new rank. Over the past eight and a half years, he hadn’t just cultivated—he had absorbed endless knowledge about the potential of his physique and soul at every level. Their capacity seemed practically limitless.

Had it not been for his Cognitive Acceleration ability—which had been upgraded to include ten million independent compartments instead of a million when he reached the SSS rank—he wouldn’t have been able to absorb and integrate all the knowledge provided by his soul, body, and bloodline.

Through this newfound knowledge, he studied every element and the mana that formed their very building blocks, discovering how they interrelated and could be applied to his spellcraft as a way of life. He even mastered Dragon Tongue—a formidable ability—albeit with some difficulty at his current level.

During this period, he practically did not take any rest. The only breaks he allowed himself were when he bathed or ate.

{And if you’re wondering where his food comes from, well, sometimes he buys it from the System Store, and other times he hunts various creatures across the Universal Plane.

As for bathing, he purchased a villa from the System Store and installed it in the Plane Fleet, ensuring he has a proper place to relax and clean himself.}

In addition to mastering mana, elements, and various spells, he also dedicated himself to practicing swordsmanship, guided by the insights his physique provided. For months, he honed his skills with the sword before moving on to the spear.

He then switched to the saber, bow, and dagger, exploring a wide array of weapon styles. Over these eight and a half years, he absorbed and practiced everything he could.

During this time, he never forgot to log in regularly. He received various cultivation techniques, blueprints for advanced technologies, an ultimate frigate ship, and even some random items. Most of these were useful, though some—like the so-called ”perfect foundation pill”—were impressive but ultimately of little value to him.

Noticing he hadn’t logged in for the day, he initiated his system login. With a familiar ding, the screen flashed a notification:

[Congratulations, Host, for winning a soul ornament: The BRIGER OF DOOM. Will you accept? Yes/No.]

Without hesitation, he selected ”Yes.” Instantly, the space before him began to fluctuate, and a crack appeared. A heavy pressure emanated from the fissure, and from within it, a spear was ejected. For a brief moment, the spear released an astonishing surge of pressure that sent shivers down Kallus’ spine.

The spear was entirely golden, adorned with countless white runes that glowed with every movement, then suddenly went completely still. Floating in front of him, the spear’s oppressive pressure gradually subsided and disappeared within seconds.

As the spear reached him, a new notification appeared in his retina display:

[The BRIGER OF DOOM wishes to form a soul contract with you. Will you form the soul contract? Yes/No.]

Kallus, still wary of the immense power emanating from the weapon, hesitated for a moment before pressing ”Yes.” Immediately, another panel appeared before him displaying the details:

[Bringer of Doom]A weapon created by a supreme being, specially made for Kallus.

[Current Form: Spear]

Kallus was initially confused when he saw the weapon’s stats, but he quickly became satisfied with its growth potential and shape-shifting abilities. Although it might not be very powerful right now, he knew that as he advanced, its true strength would eventually be unleashed.

He smiled, but now, with a weapon specially crafted for him and everything in place, he felt prepared. He knew that if he advanced now, he would have to face the challenge that the supreme being had set for him.

Although he had no idea what form this challenge would take, he was certain that any trial on the path to ascension would be extraordinary. Yet, he was far from weak—he was confident that he could overcome whatever lay ahead.
