The Tale of the Void Emperor

After Athan and Tiana went through the portal, They felt a bit dizzy before the scenery in front of them changed.

Looking around, They found themselves in a giant metal platform, upon them was a night sky. Additionally, Both of them were surprised to see such a flow of people around them.

Turning back, they saw portals forming occasionally and people coming out of them.

The weird thing was there was no city or town around this big platform instead It was a total barren land, People were coming out from portals and were directly leaving in certain directions.

" There are no stargates here, so how did we arrive here? " Athan wondered out loud.

Coincidently an old man in his sixties heard Athan's voice when he was passing by.

He had short white hair and wore simple loose clothes. The old man paused hearing what Athan just said and turned to look at him before speaking, " Looks like you two are new here and it seems it's your first time traveling to another Star Sector. From your voice, you sound young and on top of not knowing common things, it's plain that you two used stargate without informing your elders. " Speaking up to here, the old man shook his head.

Both Athan and Tiana wore Black robes and hoods that covered their bodies and head before stepping into the stargate that's why the old man judged by hearing the voice of Athan.

Athan took out a Peak-Grade Fire stone before throwing it at the elder and said with a smile, " This elder, can you please fill us in the details about this place and other general things? "

Catching the peak-grade Fire stone, the elder looked it before spitting on the ground said with a sneer, " Tier-1 peak-grade Fire stone ? do you think I'm some beggar? "

' Tier-1 Fire stone? ' Athan thought confusedly as he didn't know there were tiers, but it seems that there are tiers after hearing the old man.

Taking out 10 more Tier-1 peak-grade fire stones, Athan asked before giving them to the elder, " How about this? "

The elder shook his head but showed a reluctant expression while speaking, " Looks like you are from a pretty low-level place, where there are not even tier-2 elemental stones being produced by nature. "

Saying this, He took the fire stones from Athan and spoke with a sigh, " Nevermind, I'll be kind enough to fill you in some details. First, Under this platform is a big Sectorport Formation, when you used the coordinate plate connected to this Sectorport formation in your stargate, a portal formed here that was connected to your stargate's portal and you arrived here. "

" Second, This planet's name is Rezkiel because Rezkiel Clan rules it, and this star sector is known as Elisk Star sector, as for this galaxy's name, it should be general knowledge even in your place, But I'll still tell you. We live in The Sorca Galaxy, and it contains 57 Star Sectors. Among them, Elisk Star Sector impressively ranks 4 in overall strength and development of elements. "

" Third, Tier-2 Elemental stones contain Origin Energy so they are also called Origin stones, and to get one Tier-2 Elemental stone, you need 1000 Tier-1 Peak-grade stones. But of course, nobody uses Tier-1 Elemental stones here as general currency because they are only used to nurture the younger generation in Energy Plane,

The Top 10 Star Sector's primary Currency is Tier-2 Elemental stones, while other Star-sectors have Tier-1 Elemental stones as Primary currency and Tier-2 Elemental stones as precious currency. I'm guessing that in your Star Sector, Peak-Grade stones would be the previous currency while Low-Grade to High-Grade stones would be a primary currency, It's considered as a bottom level place when there are not even Tier-2 Elemental stones being produced."

After saying this, The old man turned silent as he looked at Athan with a face that wrote that his 10 peak-grade fire stones are only worth this information.

Speechless, Athan took out 10 Tier-1 Peak-grade Earth stones and gave them to the elder.

Nodding his head, The elder took the stones before speaking with a smile, " Fourth, You two are very lucky to have arrived at such a time...because, Myriad Stars Academy is going to start its recruiting process tomorrow and Since the place you came from didn't have Tier-2 Elemental stones, you two are likely in Energy Plane, The Myriad Stars Academy's criteria to participate in the examination is that,

If you are in Energy Plane you must to be under 30, If you are in Origin Intent Plane then you must be under 90, and if you are in Genesis Conceptual Plane then you must be under 240. From your voice, I can see that you are definitely under 30, So you can participate in the Energy Plane's examination tomorrow. "

Athan nodded hearing that as he also found out about the names of the next planes after Energy Plane.

" So how is the examination conducted? And I've never heard of The Myriad Stars Academy so if you could also fill us on that. " Saying this, Athan gave 10 Tier-1 Peak-Grade Wood stones to the elder.

Taking the stones, the elder spoke with a grin, " Brat, if I tell you how they will conduct the examination, you will find it hard to believe and the mind-blowing factor you will feel tomorrow will be reduced, so I will not say anything about it. As for The Myriad Stars Academy, It is one of the big behemoths of this vast Terra Supercluster. "

Speaking up to here, The old man's eyes couldn't help but shine as he continued, " it conducts Examination every 100 years to pick up good seedlings out of more than 5000 Galaxies under its jurisdiction with our Sorca Galaxy being just one of them, If you two can pass the Energy Plane's Examination then you will see and experience things that even this old man doesn't know....but. "

The old man shook his head and continued, " But I heard that the examinations are very strict and hard, Just the Energy Plane participants who are under 30 will likely exceed trillions, and they will only accept 1 Million Energy Plane students...Anyway, who knows you might just be able to pass. "

Athan and Tiana both were thoroughly shocked hearing the old man's words

' just one galaxy is so big that it contains so many Star sectors then how big are 5000 galaxies and what about this Myriad Stars Academy which manages to conduct the examination on them? This is fucking ridiculous. '

The old man then spoke in a serious but low voice, " I heard that the various Powerful Organizations like This Myriad Stars Academy conducts examinations and pick talented humans to fight against big threats that are situated outside of the Terra Supercluster, Those top organizations have headquarters at the various borders to defend against threats. "

The shocking things spoken by the old man caused Athan's Imagination to run wild, ' Could it that there are other races other than humans out there? Like Demons, Devils or spirit race and such that I read about in the novels in my previous life? '

There would indeed be other races but who knows if they are Devil, Demons, or Spirit race? Well, he will find out when the time comes.

Athan then asked, "It's okay if you don't tell us how the Myria Stars Academy conducts the examination but at least tell us how can we register ourselves to participate in it ?"

The old man mysterious smiled and spoke, " You don't need to register, as long as you meet the requirement to participate you can take the examinations but If you don't want to join then you will get an option to leave out of the examination, although only idiots would reject such a good opportunity. "

" I see..."

Afterward, Athan asked one last thing to the old man before the old man left. the thing he asked was a general direction of the nearest city.

Athan conjured Four Winged Hurricane Tiger as they both flew towards the direction of the nearest city pointed to them by the old man.
