{Blessing: son of destiny (golden) , Immortality (7 layers: first stone monkey) Law: strength}

"Hey... what is this? Whose hand did I see... what's going on?" Sun Wukong asked the titan soul in his body.

"Well, this is also another Rank 3 being, but it has a similar chaotic aura like yours... You might be from the same place," the titan soul replied.

"Then that's bad," Sun Wukong thought. He looked up at the endless body before him.

"I still don't understand you demons," the titan soul replied.

"You can't understand us," Sun Wukong said, pulling his staff from his ear. His expression changed, turning savage, as his aura flared and flames surrounded him. Space trembled as it was torn.

"Do you want to die?" a cold, indifferent voice was heard, and then Sun Wukong's rising aura suddenly vanished.

"What is... this... what..." Sun Wukong struggled to speak.

"This, my friend, is the difference between you and a Rank 3 being. Such beings are magnificent. When we talk of power, we talk of them... strength, they have it... speed, they have it, size, they have it, stamina, they have it... almost infinite stats. They are both creators of universes and their destroyers too. Sun Wukong, this is what we call a true powerhouse. The start of true strength. This being can now control its own destiny... its past, present, and future... have become one. Their strength is unmatchable and unreachable by those below Rank 3.

They are Rank 3 beings... they are universe creators," the titan soul said solemnly.

Sun Wukong felt goosebumps listening to this, but deep within, beyond his awe and fear, he felt a drive. He wanted to be this strong... This strength... any being would crave it.

Memories flooded Sun Wukong's mind, from when he was born as a stone monkey, to discovering the monkey clan, to going to heaven, being deceived, returning, then fighting the heavens... The Buddha, their restraints... everything returned to him as he gazed at this supreme being.

"They have evolved past the known level of life... they have ascended to a new height, with life spans as long as a universe itself..." the titan soul added.

"Sun Wukong... don't you recognize me? Oh, I do remember... I am different now... It's me, Void," Void said indifferently.

Sun Wukong was shocked. Void was already this strong. He was amazed.

(Ding... Host, a Rank 4 soul is detected)

Void watched the system's prompt silently. "Well, I can see it," Void thought calmly.

(Host, this is your slave's opportunity... it would be wise to leave it alone)

**"System... Listen... I'm not a killing maniac, nor a god or a demon, not a nice or evil being. I understand what to do... Every being I have killed has a reason... a good reason for me killing them. The two Hans... yes, I needed souls, so I killed them... That little girl in Lin Feng's world... that was to make me more cold-hearted... besides, those 200 kids would die later in the future... why not kill them now...

Lin Feng would have become a problem with his so-called enemy, the protagonist of that world. The Justice League members were nothing but... but... hindrances... they fight for justice, after all, and I need souls to evolve. System... seeing how pitiful this Rank 4 being's soul is made me realize... Life is a non-stop cycle of seeking strength, getting it, and wanting more. Does it ever end... does everything end... How are those humans on Earth sure they'll go to hell or heaven... how are they sure they'll reincarnate... How do they live their own lives?"

(Host... what's the meaning of life if you don't enjoy it?)

"Correct, so I enjoy it... I'm not afraid, and I keep pushing... finally, I've realized what kind of being I am. I am the cruelest... most dangerous being I can be, who lives life for fun, seeks entertainment, and gets stronger... everything else is irrelevant... Emotions... What's the point of having them if I'll be afraid... What's the point of having them if you don't make use of them. This Rank 4 soul... shows me something... You don't stop looking for strength... until you feel your last breath... you don't stop getting stronger until you feel your life slip from your grasp and you say... 'I have no regrets'... Living life to the fullest... that's it," Void thought.

"Void... this is you?" Sun Wukong asked, grinning and laughing loudly.

Void watched all this coldly. If he attacked, the Rank 4 soul could escape at any time... Besides, the son of destiny's stats were at play... Everyone has his own opportunity. Void's opportunity is this system, which he isn't going to lose anytime soon.

Void was truly stunned... among his three souls, only Sun Wukong considered him like a brother.

"I sensed you were in danger... what happened? Who was trying to kill you?" Void asked.

"Oh, that... that was... another Rank 3 being in one universe... I don't remember the name, but I do know the name of this evil being there. It's called Dark...side...sed... something," Sun Wukong said, scratching his head.

"DC universe... Darkseid... Hmm, so why was another Rank 3 being trying to kill you?" Void asked.

"Oh, that... heheh, I killed every being in the so-called DC universe..." Sun Wukong said, and silence rained.

"Impressive," Void commented after a short period of silence.

"Oh, it's nothing... you must have killed more than me," Sun Wukong pointed out with a smile, resting his staff on his shoulder.

"Yeah," Void replied with a grin.

"Haven't you noticed something?" Void asked.

"Huh? What..." Then Sun Wukong looked around. He realized he was in a 100-meter-long and wide square space covered by a bubble exuding a terrifying aura. He was in a kind of chaotic space that brought fear to him... but he was protected by the bubble. Ahead was an orange crystalline wall of giant proportions.

"This is..." Sun Wukong said in shock.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"A universe... specifically, my universe," Void added.
