Legacy of the Void Fleet

Time passed, and soon the next day arrived.

Back At Void fleet

Kallus woke up from his sleep and took a long yawn and jumped of his bed.

He stood in front of the mirror, looking at his perfectly handsome face and sighing. He was still not accustomed to his new looks and body, but that would change.

For now, he carefully arranged his long, white hair, streaked with strands of gold. His golden eyes gleamed, as if crafted from the purest gold, radiating a mesmerizing glow that could leave anyone who gazed into them spellbound.

He stood in front of the mirror, reflecting on the unbelievable changes that had happened to him in just a month and a half. The challenges ahead were still unknown, but sooner or later, he would have to face them.

Lost in thought, he walked toward the bathroom to bathe, his mind swirling with various concerns. He considered his limitations, but he was not one to ignore them. Instead, he saw them as obstacles to overcome. ’It’s time for me to enter the Universal Plane and focus on what truly matters,’ he thought. ’My subordinates can handle things here at the Void Fleet.’

He spent an hour in the bath, lost in thought about various matters. Eventually, he stood up, left the bathroom, and dressed in casual attire instead of his usual imperial uniform.

He called for the Red Empress, gave her a set of instructions, and ordered her to place Emma in charge during his absence. When she asked how long he would be gone, Kallus thought for a moment before replying, ’I don’t know for sure, but no more than eight to ten days at most.’

’Ah, one more thing, Empress,’ Kallus said. ’Watch over them while I’m away. I’m confident that nothing problematic will happen with Knight Grandmaster Emma leading them, but having you keep an eye on things is even more reassuring. Through our connection, if anything goes wrong, you can reach out to me easily as my system.’

The Empress nodded with a smile. ’You don’t need to worry about anything, Kallus. Leave it to your subordinates—they will do well in your absence. And as for watching over them, I’ll do it, if only to ease your mind. You just focus on your work.’”

”He nodded and then asked, ’So, Empress, how should I enter the Universal Plane?’”

”She said, ’You just need to think about entering the Universal Plane—that’s all.’”

He gave the Red Empress one final look before focusing his thoughts on entering the Universal Plain. In an instant, he vanished from his suite aboard the Obliterator-class Star Dreadnought.

As soon as Kallus thought of entering the Universal Plain, he felt a sudden pull. In the blink of an eye, he found himself standing in a vast, serene expanse. Rolling grasslands stretched endlessly, and towering trees reached so high they nearly touched the clouds. The air was filled with the chirping of birds and the distant calls of unseen creatures.

Stunned, he took in the scene before him. He clearly remembered that the Universal Domain was not supposed to have any lifeforms other than trees. Yet here he was, surrounded by the sounds of beasts and nature. Just as confusion settled in, a presence emerged before him, its voice cutting through the stillness of the plain.

Kallus jumped in shock as the being appeared before him. It took the vague shape of a human, yet its form was impossible to grasp—shifting, formless as if woven from chaos itself. Shadows and light intertwined within its body, constantly reshaping its features before his eyes.

Despite its ever-changing nature, an overwhelming presence radiated from it, making the air feel heavy. Kallus tried to focus, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not fully comprehend what stood before him.

Then, a voice echoed through the air, deep and resonant, yet seeming to come from everywhere at once. [’I have created them for you as a challenge.’”]

Kallus, mustering his courage despite the overwhelming pressure weighing down on him, steadied himself. His voice wavered slightly, but he forced himself to speak.

’As a challenge?’ Kallus asked, his gaze fixed on the shifting entity before him. ’Supreme, didn’t you say that no lifeforms existed here other than plants and trees? At least, that’s what the system told me.’

The being opened its ethereal mouth, its shifting form momentarily stilling as it spoke. Its voice resonated through the very fabric of the plane, neither loud nor soft, but carrying an undeniable weight. [”’Would you prefer a lifeless world—a stagnant plain where nothing challenges you? No, I have ensured that this plane will test you, mold you, and force you to grow. You must rely solely on your unique and powerful soul, your body, and your lineage. For power without a struggle, built upon an unstable foundation, crumbles at the slightest tremor.’”]

”Kallu Felt troubled but he knew that he had to accept the reality and asked with a heavy, sorrowful tone, he posed a direct question: ”What exactly did you put in there?

”The being said, ’As the system has already explained, the Universal Plane is vast and encompasses countless galaxies. This region, where you currently reside, is at the very heart of it—a divine realm. This planet is home to numerous powerful and unique beasts, all of which will grow stronger alongside you.

When you reach a critical cultivation level, they will launch attacks in the form of beast tides, with their intensity directly correlating to your strength., ”For now, you will face only a single beast. However, as you climb the ranks, the number of beasts will increase, and eventually, they will form a full-scale beast tide, but as you continue to grow, so too will the challenges you face. Each trial will evolve, becoming more dangerous and relentless as you progress.’”

Kallus was shocked and speechless as he swallowed hard, his throat dry. His face twitched as he grasped the true meaning behind the words. If those beasts and challenges were simple, then the being before him wouldn’t be the ultimate existence.

He sighed, his shoulders slumping as if resigning himself to fate. But deep down, he knew—this wasn’t surrender. He would put in the effort, push himself to grow stronger, and face these trials head-on. With his soul, physique, and bloodline, he believed he could overcome whatever lay ahead.

The being said, ”I will support you through this, but the effort must come from you, not me. Nothing is free, Kallus. You don’t even have a grasp of your own situation or the state of your fleet in the Super Universe. You need to prepare, Kallus.”

With those final words, the being’s figure began to fade, vanishing into the void.

Here’s a clearer and more polished version of your passage:

”Hey, hey, wait!” Kallus called out, his voice filled with urgency. He had so many questions. But the being paid no heed, showing no sign of stopping as it disappeared into the void.

Kallus stood alone in the vast field of grass, a deep sense of confusion washing over him. He slowly sat down, remaining silent for a while, lost in thought. Eventually, he let out a sigh and gave up—for now.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air before slowly exhaling. He repeated the process for a while, his mind gradually calming. As he did, he could sense mana and other forms of energy of various natures gathering around him, as if excited by his very presence.

For now, he felt an inexplicable attraction toward one particular type of energy—the Primordial Mana. It was the purest form of mana, a force that had existed since the very beginning of time itself.

After thinking for a while, he instantly realized—it was his cultivation technique that guided him toward Primordial Mana, drawing him to it over the other energies.

But there was another kind of energy—one that drew him in even more than Primordial Mana. However, this energy was far too powerful. He could feel its overwhelming force, and in his current weakened state, he knew he couldn’t handle it—at least, not yet.

”He looked around for a while, then with a determined sigh, he focused and set the time dilation of the Universal Plane to its maximum—1:1000. According to his calculations, he would remain here for about 9 days, which would equate to 9,000 days, or almost 25 years, within the plane, while only 9 days passed in the outside world.

A timer appeared as soon as he activated the time dilation, displaying nearly 25 years’ worth of time.”

”Before beginning his cultivation, Kallus suddenly remembered—he hadn’t logged in today. With a quick thought, he did just that.
