*Caaaaw…* Suddenly, a sharp and piercing cry echoed through the depths of the starry sky.

Looking towards the sound, one could see a massive blood-red bird streaking through the distant edge of the cosmos with its wings spread wide. Its pair of blood-red eyes, resembling crimson Moons, radiated fierce and boundless fury.

Suddenly, the colossal bird turned its head, its gaze fixed in a specific direction for a moment, as if sensing something.

And, proving his senses to be right, a gigantic hand, vast enough to cover the sky and block out the Sun, entered its calm eyes, reaching out from the depths of the starry sky.

“So, this is the strength of the one guarding the borders of the Titan Star Domain…” murmuring to himself, Undying Blood Raven’s eyes flickered with a slight hint of madness.

*Caaaaw…* Immediately after, Undying Blood Raven let out a ferocious caw,  sharp enough to shatter metal and stone, causing the entire cosmos to tremble.

At the same time, an increasingly violent aura surrounded Undying Blood Raven. Despite being only at the Demigod Realm, his presence actually sent palpitations to the distant Titan, a Tier-5 Transcendent.

At that moment, the cold, detached voice of Undying Blood Raven resounded from the depths of the starry sky, “Mountain Titan and even the Divine Artifact, Hundred Mountains, are already in our hands…”

It was just one sentence, but the entire starry sky seemed to have fallen into a dead silence, like the calm before the impending storm.

And then, the very next moment…

“What?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Supreme Mountain Titan? Impossible… how could that be…?”

…

Exclamations rang out one after another, causing the nearby celestial bodies to shake. One after another, towering figures began to rise from the planets, figures as tall as mountains.

They were the Titans.

And now, because of just one sentence from Undying Blood Raven, all these Titans were shaken to their cores.

Even the Tier-5 Titan, guarding the border of the Titan Star Domain, hesitated, stopping his outstretched hand…

“Is…what you said… true?” A loud and resonant voice came from the depths of the cosmos, each word carrying immense pressure.

The sudden burst of shockwave shook the starry sky. In this moment, Undying Blood Raven felt as if he was a lone boat in the midst of a storm.

Despite this, his expression remained unchanged. His demeanor remained unchanged.

So arrogant. So defiant. Even in the face of a Tier-5 True God, his insolence remained unshaken.

“Do I need to lie to you?” With a cold laugh, Undying Blood Raven flapped his wide wings.

Immediately, with a deafening boom, his figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light, zooming straight towards the depths of the Titan Star Domain.

Along the way, on one massive planet after another, each hundreds or even thousands of times larger than Earth, colossal figures slowly stood up.

These were the warriors of the Titan Clan, guarding the borders. Every one of them stood watch on these desolate stars.

As for the main base of the Titan Gods, it resided on Titan Star.

Though the Titan Star Domain was unimaginably vast, there were only a few dozen planets capable of nurturing life. And the Titan Planet was the home planet of the twelve Supremes of the Titan Clan.

…

Shortly after, deep within a Realm of Life…

“He should be almost there,” Yu Zi Yu let out a soft laugh, guessing. [With the speed of Undying Blood Raven, it should take around half a month for him to reach the Titan Star Domain. Next, comes the real deal. But before that…]

With a smile in his eyes, Yu Zi Yu looked towards a nearby figure.

Standing over two meters tall, the figure’s scythe-like purple arms were raised high. A faint purple glow flickered around him. Behind him, several pairs of translucent wings, thin as a cicada’s, gently spread open, shimmering faintly in the light.

It was none other than Zi Lian, Yu Zi Yu’s shadow, and one of the seven Shadow Assassins under his command.

Having reached Tier-5, he had decided to return.

“Zi…Lian…” murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu focused his gaze on Zi Lian promptly.

Moments later, a dazzling status screen appeared before Yu Zi Yu:

Race: Royal Void Clan (Note: In the Void Clan, the first 108 to ascend to Tier-4 can be called kings, carrying the true royal lineage, and it is the Ninth King of the Void Clan.)
Rank: Tier-5

Innate Talent: Evolution — While everything is growing, it is adapting… constantly adapting to everything, and can even evolve more terrifying means and abilities in the midst of constant adaptation.

Unique Abilities: Void Claws —Tainted by the cosmic void, its claws are capable of ignoring the vast majority of physical defenses. (Note: These are fearsome claws that can pierce through space and strike directly at the interior.)

Hunting Instinct — A terrifying ability nurtured in pursuit of prey, capable of easily detecting the unique scent of prey and even the surrounding life force.

Void Jump — It is able to continuously jump across space, achieving a teleportation-like effect… now fully instinctual.

Afterimage — Moving at speeds beyond comprehension, multiple afterimages are created, each as real as the original and capable of attacking.

Sea Breathing —

Camouflage —

Dragon Scales—

Plunder —

Hidden Stinger —

Limb Regeneration —

One ability after another, many of which Yu Zi Yu had never seen before, appeared on the status screen.

[This is the result of Zi Lian’s solo battles within the Void Space…] Yu Zi Yu remarked, his eyes filled with appreciation.

However, when his gaze fell upon the Limb Regeneration ability, his expression darkened.

Zi Lian’s talent lay in his adaptability. Thus, Yu Zi Yu could imagine that Zi Lian had likely suffered severe injuries, perhaps even losing an arm, before evolving this ability.

*Haaaa…* With a sigh, Yu Zi Yu empathized, “You must have endured a lot this time.”

“Compared to the rewards, it was all worth it.” Zi Lian replied, his eyes filled with determination.

Then, as if remembering something, he raised his head sharply, his voice resolute. “Master, now I no longer need to live under your protection. I can truly protect you…”
