Void Evolution System

408 Settling Down [1]

Unlike the scene in the 3000 Beast Mountain Range, the Sanctuary was enveloped in a completely different kind of chaos.

"Order! Order! Everyone make space!"

"Don't clutter around together! There's plenty of space for all of you, so spread out and get comfortable!"

The shouts of those who were trying to maintain some sense of decorum rang out loudly, but the chaos didn't cease with just that.

Millions of elves, hundreds of thousands of phoenixes, and tens of thousands of dragonkin now populated an area that used to have only a few tens of people within it at most.

And even though they weren't getting violent, it was only natural for them to be filled with unease after being transported to a completely different world with no knowledge of what was happening at all.

The Elf Queen sighed as she watched the ensuing chaos. Next to her was the White Dragon King and the two Phoenix Matriarchs.

"So what you're saying is, the entire mountain range is currently being destroyed in a clash between Divinities, and that boy somehow became the sole savior of all four of our races…"

Even as the words came out of her mouth, she couldn't fathom them at all. But seeing the scene around her, she couldn't help but admit that the boy who had become her Lord was more than just a little capable.

"Although we've been told the same information as you, none of us have seen with our own eyes what is happening, nor do we know the story behind it." The White Dragon King responded.

"Indeed. Even our daughters have only been informed of the situation by that boy. But it seems Qing'er trusts him with her life, so I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of his words. It's just that…they are children, after all. Saying the entire mountain range will be exterminated must be an exaggeration." The Fire Phoenix Matriarch added.

"Exaggeration?" A new voice joined their conversation. Behind them, a haggard Damien appeared from thin air.

"Even what I've said must be an understatement. Although I can't understand the power of Demigods at all, I at least know that they far eclipse the likes of you and me. Plus, neither of those two will be affected by the mountain range's natural suppression. I can only imagine the destruction they've wrought."

Although he was speaking to the four leaders, he was mainly talking to himself. He was truly worried about the situation outside.

A single swipe of that Nox Demigod's hand had been able to obliterate an area the size of America in the past.

He knew from Alaric that the Demigod would have at most 50% of his power upon escaping, but even that was enough to wreak havoc on the Cloud Plane.

'Can the Myriad Illusion Veil hold out? If it doesn't…'

He didn't want to imagine the possibility.

'I need to find a way to view the outside world from in here. Otherwise, situations like this where the dangers of the outside world are unknown will repeat themselves.'

Damien was the sole tether of the Sanctuary to the Real Plane. This had many benefits, but it came with just as many drawbacks.

For instance, his death meant that everyone within the Sanctuary would be stranded here forever, unable to leave regardless of their power level. And in the same vein, they could only leave the Sanctuary if he left first and opened the way for them.

This was the main problem now that he had so many people living in his personal realm. His life now carried far more value than it ever had before.

"How can you be so certain about what you've told us?" The Elf Queen questioned. Of the four, she was the most doubtful.

But it couldn't be helped. She was also the only one of them that had no prior relationship or connection with Damien at all.

Damien looked at her for a moment, scanning her from head to toe. Although her aura was gentle, her demeanor wasn't the same at all.

'But then again, this is the kind of demeanor a ruler should have. I have appeared out of nowhere and become the highest authority of the elven race, a position that she used to hold. It'd be weirder if she automatically submitted like Elitra did.'

"I understand. Although my authority is absolute, ruling through force has never been a good long-term solution."

"What are you—?" The Elf Queen started. But Damien didn't let her finish.

"Words are useless at this point so there's no need for more conversation. It's best if I show you, only then will you believe me fully. Perhaps you are still thinking of leaving the Sanctuary and repopulating the mountain range once things settle down, but I guarantee that possibility doesn't exist.

"Anyway, let us first calm the people and settle them in their temporary lodgings. After that, we can go see the situation on the outside"

Damien was using his own fights as a measurement. Usually, the fights would only last for a couple of minutes before they ended, with the maximum time being around half an hour. Of course, this was only in relation to when he was fighting a single opponent.

'A battle between Demigods should be far faster than anything I can do, but it's better to be safe. I'll give it half an hour before I go out.'

Damien teleported away to one of his secluded spaces. Out of curiosity, he opened a small crack to the outside world.

BOOOOOOOOM!

The secluded space was instantly shattered. A wisp of Divine Essence had entered through the crack he made, collapsing the structure of the space at its very root.

'Shit!'

Damien immediately teleported into a different subspace. If it wasn't for his literal instant movement within the Sanctuary, he would've died in that explosion as well.

'Fucking hell! Demigods are Divinities after all…I can't believe that even after all the overestimating I tried to do, I was still underestimating them.'

Luckily, he had chosen an empty subspace that wasn't connected to the main realm to do his experiment, otherwise, he might've accidentally killed everyone he had tried so hard to save.

'Right, half an hour should be fine…no let's wait a whole hour…a day. An entire day should be more than enough time to guarantee our safety.'

Damien sighed and returned to the main realm. There, the four leaders were giving a joint speech to quell the unrest within their people.

He nodded lightly. 'The Sanctuary has always been massive. Not to mention a few million, even a few tens or maybe even a hundred million could fit here. The four clans should live in harmony from now on…unless the fire nation attacks.'

Damien snorted inwardly before quickly looking around and sighing in relief. It was a good thing that nobody was around to see his mildly embarrassing display.

'Anyway, building residences needs materials, and I need livestock as well for food. I know damn well these dragons have no plans of being vegetarians…but the Sanctuary can't create life, so I'll have to outsource. How burdensome.'

Damien rubbed his forehead. The more he thought about it, the more tasks he found that needed to be done in order to properly accommodate such a vast population of people.

'I can leave the authoritative tasks to the leaders that already exist, and Lucius can help with the more troublesome things. I just need them to give me a list of things I, as the one who will be living in the outside world, am specifically needed for.'

Damien nodded to himself. There was no need to do all the bothersome tasks himself when he had so many capable people around who could help him with them. Instead, he had another plan.

One that, in his opinion, took precedence over all else.

'Now, I finally have time for a touching reunion with my Ruyue.'
