Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Chapter 898: Corruption and Elemental Seed

[Ding!]

[The Primordial Entity Quinlan Elysiar has successfully absorbed the Corruption Seed and Elemental Seed previously embedded by external divine force: Venthros, the Corrupted Element.]

[Status: Corruption Seed — Dormant. Highly unstable.]

[Status: Elemental Seed — Fragmented. Tainted by Corruption.]

[Integrity Thresholds: Below minimum viability for Divine Concept Conversion.]

[Warning]: Divine Concepts cannot be housed in the current state of the soul.

[Directive]: Further evolution of the Soul Framework is required before divine architecture can be supported.

[Soul Tier: Proto-Ascendant.]

[Soul Realm Stability: 17% — Crude Dimensional Structure formed.]

[Next Phase: Purification and Nurturing of Seeds Required.]

[Method: Unspecified.]

[Additional Note: Current Entity is not eligible for Pantheon Classification.]

[Pantheon Seat: DENIED.]

[Condition: Must undergo Divine Tempering and Soul Expansion Trials.]

[Trial Locations: REDACTED.]

[Records Terminated.]

Quinlan stood still in the glowing quiet, eyes narrowed, lips pressed into a thin, unimpressed line.

”How do I grow these damn seeds into proper divine concepts?”

He waited.

No response.

”...Seriously? Nothing?”

He was rather unimpressed. ”I know you’re supposed to be some unfeeling administrator, but come on... I killed a god, fulfilling your cheesy little Avatar-Invader prophecy... I even got ambushed by the loot-ehem orbs Venthros left behind and nearly lost my life as a result, but instead of succumbing, I gritted my teeth and fought with all I had and triumphed, forging a soul realm or whatever this thing is, and all I ask is for a hint. A tutorial pop-up, maybe.”

Still silence.

He folded his arms. ”Fine. I’ll just ask my pair of sexy, plump mommies. Maybe one of them can guide me since you’re unwilling.”

A beat passed, and he was still ignored.

”Or that bratty goddess, Lilyanna. It’s about time she does something useful at long last. Perhaps I can withstand her presence now.”

Another pause came. Quinlan then grimaced. ”No. I shouldn’t rely on others.”

His gaze fell inward again, to the pulsing Seeds nested within his core.

”Let’s try to figure this out.”

He paced slowly along a ridge overlooking a yet-forming canyon in his Soul Realm, thinking aloud.

”So... I inherited Venthros’ divine seeds. Wait, no, that sounds painfully gay. Let’s rephrase.”

He cleared his throat.

”After felling the corrupted god, I absorbed the remnants of Venthros’ divinity. Two seeds. One of Corruption, the other of the Elements. One dormant, one tainted.” ŖＡ𝐍ỒᛒÈŜ

He nodded to himself.

”I need to purify them. Nurture them. Only then can they evolve into proper divine concepts I can wield. Whatever wielding a concept means...”

He glanced back at the still sky above.

”And apparently, my soul isn’t strong enough to hold concepts yet. Soul Tier: Proto-Ascendant.” He gave a wry smile. ”Thanks, Records. That part was at least quite informative. It must mean I need to grow to wield concepts.”

He turned serious again, recalling the final part of the message.

”That last line... not eligible for Pantheon classification.” He rubbed his chin. ”I guess that means I’m not worthy to sit among the gods.”

He let that thought linger... and then smirked.

”Well. Not a surprise. I’m not a god yet. I’m a demigod. A primordial, and quite a young and weak one at that. My mommies could spank me any day of the week should they so desire.”

His eyes glinted as he instinctively knew something. ”And truth be told... I don’t want to be one of them.”

His voice lowered into something cold and resolute.

”I’m not here to join the ranks of the gods. I’m here to end their corrupt reign. I’m the God Slayer, after all.”

He turned, looking across his soul realm, the foundation of something new.

”Let them have their Pantheons. I’ll carve a path for myself that doesn’t need a golden seat.”

Then he frowned, pondering the real question.

”What even is a god, anyway? Is it just having divine concepts? Do I become one automatically when I master them? Or do I need to abandon this Primordial body?”

Too many questions. No answers.

Not yet.

He clenched his fists, letting the silence settle again.

And then...

[Ding!]

A second chime echoed through the void.

His eyes sharpened.

”Let’s see what cryptic nonsense you’ve got for me this time.”

[Primordial Entity Quinlan Elysiar has completed the Primordial Rank-Up Trial.]

[The shackles of mortality strain. The boundaries of Zhenwu crumble beneath your feet.

A sharp pulse slammed into Quinlan’s chest like a war drum. His breath hitched. His heartbeat thundered.

”There’s more?” he gasped as a cyclone of light and power swirled around him.
