Void Evolution System

Chapter 1353  First Expedition [1]

The Heavenly World's size had been mentioned multiple times. It was huge enough to be a universe in its own right, and with so many people living together, it was difficult to have a hierarchical power structure that could be properly maintained.

Or at least, that was what Damien thought.

The Heavenly World was split into eight cardinal regions, the Northern, Northeastern, Eastern, Southeastern, Southern, Southwestern, Western, and Northwestern Regions.

Each of these regions was split into roughly ten thousand principalities that were run by minor forces, and each of those principalities was split into countries, kingdoms, and states that were run by smaller influences.

There was a strict structure where, the larger the influence, the more influences they had under them. And no matter how large an influence was, they would always be under someone else.

At least, for the most part.

The number of subsidiary clans and influences was uncountable, but in each region, there were four influences that governed all the rest, a total of 32 in the entire world.

And above those 32 were eight great clans.

These were the highest authorities of the Heavenly World. They each had sovereignty over an entire cardinal region, and they had power greater than the combination of all of those under them, which allowed them to stand on top of the world without having their positions shaken.

"The Straea Clan of the North, Vega Clan of the Northeast, Holy Empire of the Northwest, Veritas Clan of the East, Dragon Clan of the West, Kyushu Federation of the Southeast, Divine Order of the Southwest, and…Void Palace of the South."

Together, the eight great clans ruled the world.

They were supreme.

And the clan that called itself Damien's birthland was one of them.

'Wow. I knew my father had some status here, but I never expected it to be to this extent.'

There wasn't much information on the actual layouts of the cardinal regions or the nuances of each great clan, but just seeing Void Palace listed among forces that couldn't be reached no matter how much of a genius one was definitely had an impact on Damien's heart.

'So I need to go to the Southern Region at some point, and right now, I'm in the Eastern Region.'

"The Veritas Clan, huh…"

Was it a coincidence?

Why did the captain of this starship share that surname?

'There's no way it's a coincidence.'

If he wanted to make a name for himself in the Eastern Region and explore the Heavenly World, this was his chance to do so.

And he didn't plan to waste it at all.

Along with the geographical and societal information in the token, Yulia also provided him with knowledge on the progression one had to undergo in the ranks of Divinity.

Unlike the vague structure where people just trained until their limit that existed in the lower universe, the Heavenly World had a totally defined system for how to rank up and grow.

It was less complicated and more complicated at the same time.

The leveling mechanic from the system still existed, but the way to increase one's level changed entirely.

Just killing was no longer enough. The new system relied on "Divinity" and "Legends."

The Demigod rank lasted until level 799, and at level 800 one would gain the opportunity to challenge True Godhood.

Experience would only be granted if one did things that either enhanced one's Legend or defined one's Divinity.

It was a vague way to describe things, but when it was applied to the individual, it was far easier to understand.

Damien's Divinity was that of the Hegemon God.

He had to stand above everyone else and conquer. If he accomplished feats that furthered him towards the position of Hegemon God that he formed his Divinity around, it would be enhanced along with his level.

As for the section about Legends, Damien was too familiar with it. He'd been working to increase his Legend for a large part of his life, and he didn't need an explanation of what it meant to do so.

Still, it was a non-linear system that completely diverged from what he knew, and if he wanted to follow it, he needed to completely change his mentality.

Kill, Eat, Evolve, the mentality that got him through the First Dungeon, finally became irrelevant.

And Damien was all for it.

Funnily enough, no matter how much he enjoyed the simplicity of the previous system, this one was far better for him.

Because he really didn't have to do anything.

He was Damien Void. He was the man who created Legends by just existing.

All he had to do was act like himself, and those conditions he needed to fulfill would fulfill themselves naturally

With a mechanic like this, how could he not be pleased?
