“Av… ril…” A faint murmur, carrying a faint sense of remembrance, escaped the Holy Sword Angel, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

After Avril got corrupted by the Void, her strength had spiked to a whole new level.

Even someone as strong as him, now needed to join forces with experts of different races to stand a chance of capturing her.

However, Avril was exceptionally astute.

More often than not, by the time they arrived, she had already fled.

“You’d better not let me catch you. If I do, I swear I’ll tear you to pieces!” A furious roar came from the royalty of the Beastman Clan—a Tier-5 True God with the head of a Lion, a Humanoid body, and a gleaming golden fur. Enraged, he clenched his fists so hard that one could hear the cracking of his bones.

One of his Clan’s cities had been obliterated by Avril’s hands, leaving behind only hatred that could only be washed away with blood.

Hearing the Beastman’s curses, the Holy Sword Angel could not help but furrow his brows slightly but ultimately, he said nothing.

The Angel Clan had no moral high ground in this matter. The fact that the other races had refrained from causing trouble for them was already a fortunate outcome.

As for the insults? He let them be.

*Haaaaa…* Heaving a sigh, the ever sensible Holy Sword Angel unfurled his four blade-like wings and soared into the starry expanse.

“Let’s go… This time, we must reach her before she destroys another city.”

…

Meanwhile, in the deepest reaches of Void Space, unknown to anyone, a massive landmass floated silently.

This was the Void Continent—a handiwork of Yu Zi Yu. After consuming a continent from Venus, Yu Zi Yu refined it with Void Energy, ensuring it would forever drift within the Void Space.

This place served as Yu Zi Yu’s lair in the Void Space.

Rooted at the heart of this Void Continent was a bizarre, Colossal Tree. Each of its branches resembled the claws of Demons. Its trunk was a mottled mix of green, resembling the texture of Dragon Scales.

This was the Tree of Miracles, also known as the Tree of Curses. It was a horrifying and malevolent Demonic Tree.

Using his Innate Ability , Absolute Evolution, Yu Zi Yu had seized the power of this ancient, Demonic Tree and nurtured it with one of his own roots, fostering it into this current Form.

It was somewhat akin to grafting on Earth, where one tree nourishes another.

Under Yu Zi Yu’s meticulous care, the growth of this Demonic Tree had been exceptional. Upon closer inspection, one could see numerous crystalline fruits hanging from its branches.

There were not many—only about a dozen. However, each fruit had a unique shape and radiated a distinct energy.

For instance, one resembled a pair of clasped white wings, emitting a faint white glow.

Another looked like a lion’s head, shimmering with golden brilliance.

These were the Miracle Fruits borne by the Tree of Miracles, each containing unfathomable power.

*Haaaa…* Yu Zi Yu, in his Void Elf Form, exhaled a long, deep breath, standing beside the Tree of Miracles. His eyes could not help but flicker with anticipation as he gazed at these fruits.

With these fruits, the Treant Clan would soon gain another wave of powerful warriors.

Yet, this was not the most important part.

The true significance lay in Yu Zi Yu’s ability to use these Treants, who would devour the Miracle Fruits, to steal the power of the Myriad Races.

“The Angel Clan’s holy light and unparalleled speed… the Beastman Clan’s savagery and brute force…” softly murmuring, Yu Zi Yu scrutinized each fruit hanging from the Tree of Miracles.

Calling them fruits would be wrong. These were condensations of racial Bloodlines, embodying the most unique powers of their respective races.

Consuming such fruits did not just grant the Form of a particular race but also bestowed its core essence and abilities.

And this was precisely what Yu Zi Yu valued most.

“Aurora Spiritwood, the Angel Fruit shall be yours…” With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu waved his hand.

Subsequently, the fruit shaped like angelic wings, radiating a pale white glow, drifted toward a Treant named Aurora Spiritwood.

Aurora Spiritwood was a Tier-4 Spirit Tree Treant, the most gifted in Light Elemental among the denizens of Yu Zi Yu’s Tree Realm.

He was enveloped in a hazy white glow, emanating an aura of warmth and comfort that soothed all who basked in his presence.

He was the perfect candidate to consume the Angel Fruit.

“Yes, Ancestor Tree…” Aurora Spiritwood responded without hesitation, reaching out to catch the fruit Yu Zi Yu had bestowed.

For the Treants, these fruits were no strangers.

They were revered as Holy Relics of the Tree Realm, and only the most outstanding of the Treants could earn the privilege of approaching the Tree of Miracles to receive one.

Aurora Spiritwood, after passing through numerous trials, was one such chosen one.

“Do not disappoint me,” dropping these words, Yu Zi Yu shifted his gaze toward the distance.

Following his line of sight, one could see a broken city, wobbling as it floated toward them.

“Lord of Corruption, mission accomplished. The Crystal Clan has been captured.” With a calm declaration, Avril’s figure materialized before Yu Zi Yu.

“You…” Sighing softly, Yu Zi Yu shook his head in exasperation.

Originally, he had only asked Avril to bring back four. Instead, she dragged in part of an entire city from each race.

According to Avril, the Void Continent was barren and devoid of life—this was an opportunity to introduce some inhabitants.

If these beings could not withstand the Void Space’s corrosion, they would naturally become food for the Void Creatures. However, if they could endure, they would fall, just like her, and transform into the denizens of Void Space.

This way, the numbers of the Fallen Clan would grow.

Any lifeform that succumbed to the Void Space’s corruption could be called part of the Fallen Clan.

And now, Avril’s ambition was to establish a Fallen Angel Clan.

Her goal required luring at least tens of thousands of Angel Clan members into the Void Space.

After all, a mere handful could not constitute a race.

Even the Dragon Clan, known for its scarcity, boasted tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of members in the Dragon Realm.
