The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-51

After flying for a long time, They could finally see the outline of the city.

The flying was prohibited so they descended and walked towards the city gates, and surprisingly the guards just stood there like proper guards as there wasn't any need to pay fees to enter the city.

The city was way more technologically advanced than Athan thought, There were tall buildings and flying cars, There were also Digital monitors, and Airships floating in the sky.

It was Tiana's first time seeing high-tech things, so she was a bit excited as she watched those wonderful things.

Athan was surprised but not as excited because he had somewhat expected such a scene, After walking for a while, They found a hotel which was 50 stories tall.

Entering inside, Athan asked the receptionist, " How much is for one night? "

The receptionist was a beautiful young lady in her mid-twenties, with a professional smile, she spoke, "The first-class service will cost three tier-2 elemental stones for 24 hours of stay, The second-class service will cost one tier-2 elemental stones for 24 hours of stay, and The third-class service will cost 500 Tier-1 elemental stones for 24 hours of stay, So which service would you like to book sir? "

Athan took out 500 tier-1 elements stones without a change in his expression and spoke, " third-class service would be enough, can you explain to us what is included in the service? "

" Sure sir, Third-class service includes a single 400 square ft. room and three times a day food made from Tier-1 beasts and herbs. The second class service includes 1500 square ft. suit with many facilities while the first-class service includes 5000 square ft. suit better and more facilities."

Athan nodded as he booked the first-class service, after which the receptionist gave him a card with a number written on it and spoke with a smile, " Thank you for choosing our hotel, Your room number is 605 on the 6th floor. "

Nodding his head, Athan and Tiana started walking towards an elevator, The elevator didn't any wire connected on top or bottom.

After getting inside. Athan pressed the button of the 6th floor, feeling a slight heaviness of gravity for a second, The elevator's door opened surprising Athan, ' That was fast..'

Soon they found room no. 605 and entered inside, The room was not that big but it had sufficient space, There was a double bed, bathroom, A hologram display, and other common things that are found in the hotel.

Both of them sat on the bed as Athan took out the remaining elemental stones he needed to fill in energy.

He then said to Tiana who sat in front of him, " Let's just cultivate until The Myriad Stars Academy arrives to conduct the examination although we still don't know how they will do that. "

Tiana nodded as she picked up A Tier-1 Peak-grade Fire and Lightning stone.

...

...

After Several hours, Athan and Tiana were still training, At this time, A sudden pressure descended upon them as both of them opened their eyes, After that, a loud voice reverberated.

[ All those who want to participate in the Examination, Leave the respective buildings you are all staying in and stand under the sky. ]

" Let's go. " Athan spoke as he and Tiana started leaving the hotel along with many other people, soon they left the hotel as they stood on the road.

Seeing that people were looking in the sky, Both Athan and Tiana also looked up only to feel immense shock.

A Gigantic mass of metal could be seen in the sky, Athan and Tiana could not see its end nor height, but they could see it was floating outside of the atmosphere and still looked very big.

[ The qualified individuals will be automatically selected and pulled up after 1 minute, If you don't want to participate in the examination, then you will get an option to leave after entering the spaceship. ]

An impassive voice descended from the top as it reverberated everywhere.

While the Athan, Tiana and all the other people were waiting...

If someone could stand in space and look, They would be able to see A Giant Spaceship, The spaceship was so big and vast that one's mind would be directly blown away.

its shape could be described as a big fat Manta-Ray Fish floating in the space with unknown height and width but from the looks, It was wider than The Planet Rezkiel but a bit lower in height.

Inside the spaceship, A man who looked to be in his fifties with light red hair, and a fair complexion wore a tight military-type uniform that was silver and black in color could be seen talking with several people of the same age, on each of his shoulders were 3 golden stars.

The man looked at a person in front of him who had the same Uniform but only 1 Star on his shoulders and spoke, " Renold, How many qualified individuals did we find on this planet? "

Renold looked at a small hologram that was hovering above his hand and spoke, " According to the scan Captain, There are 84,859 qualified Energy Plane individuals, 327 qualified Origin Intent Plane individuals, 0 Genesis conceptual Plane individuals, 0 Soul Alt--- "

" Enough...this galaxy is a bottom tier in strength, We will only find Energy Plane and Origin Intent Plane individuals here. "

" Captain Leyhar, One minute is up. "

" Alright, Pull them in. After this, we still have 2 more batches to pick up, After that, we'll conduct the examination. "

...

After one minute was up, Athan and Tiana saw a white light descending from the sky and both of them disappeared along with many other individuals.

The Spaceship had many halls from top to bottom, Each of these halls had countless rows of cabins placed on them.

In one such hall, Athan and Tiana opened their eyes, They looked around and found many other peoples under the age of 30 in the hall that was as big as a vast continent.

Suddenly A Big Screen lit up in the sky on which Captain Leyhar's face appeared.

Sweeping his gaze across the hall from the hologram and spoke, " If there are any people here who don't want to participate in the examination, then press [ Yes ] otherwise press [ NO ] Choose your option in 10 seconds, Not choosing any will automatically be considered as pressing [ No ]. "

Just as he finished speaking, A hologram appeared in front of Athan and Tiana, [ Do you wish to forfeit from the examination? YES or NO ].

Both of them press [ No ] without any hesitation.

After a few seconds, Captain Leyhar spoke with a smile, " Good, Now the thing you are seeing in front of your feet is called Virtual Tube, It will open after 30 seconds, and you have to sleep inside it, After sleeping inside it, you will arrive in a virtual world in which the examination will be conducted, But Examination will start after 1 hour as we still have to pick up people from 2 Star sectors. "

After that, The hologram disappeared.

The captain in the main control room asked, " How much time we will need to pick the peoples from the two Star sectors? "

" We will need at least 45 minutes as there are a total of 54 picks up points planets in these both star sectors combined. "

" I see, Then hurry up and Let's not waste any second. "

The Spaceship then moved at a snail's pace for 3 seconds before disappearing as it transitioned into Hyperspace.

...

...

Meanwhile, 30 seconds were up in the hall where Athan and Tiana stood, Athan, looked at the Virtual tube and then at Tiana before speaking with an excited smile, " Let's enter inside, We might meet inside the virtual world too. "

Tiana also nodded with a smile as both of them laid inside the Virtual Tube.

After Laying inside they closed their eyes as the glass of the Virtual Tube closed automatically.

After a few seconds of darkness, Athan heard a voice before a screen appeared in front of him.

[ Enter your name ]

Athan entered his name seeing the line on the screen as another line appeared along with a monotone voice.

[ Would you like to evaluate your Body Power and Energy Power? ]

Athan was surprised but also excited, ' looks like this Virtual Tube has more than one functions ' thinking about it, He answered, " Yes "

<Athan Long>

At the Peak of Energy Plane---> Stage 9.

Body not baptized by Origin, Thus the full-body stats are locked as potential.

Strength: 10(100)

Consitution: 10(100)

Mind: 10

Elements detected: Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, Wood, Air, Dark, Light, Space

Energy Power: 56.5

Athan was dumbfounded seeing the information on the screen, ' What means body not baptized by Origin? I guess it should have something to do with Origin Intent Plane. but..'

Athan looked at his Energy Power which caused him to virtually twitch his eyebrows, ' Only 56.5? are you kidding me? If I go by the number of units, the combined units of essence energy I have would be around 565,000 after training last night, But it only shows 56.6 here, Am I that weak? '

Excitement and nervousness bubbled inside Athan as he thought, ' Looks like....the journey of me getting stronger will really be a long one, I feel like I've just arrived at the starting line seeing this. '

Meanwhile...

Captain Leyhar was sitting in his office, Looking at some information in the hologram.

" Hmmm, Rezkiel Kaal 25-year-old, A total of 12 elements and comprehended 3 basic element intents: Water intent, Blood intent, and Thunder intent, Rezkiel clan is declining. " mumbling words, he shook his head.

" Mira Qiyun 22-year-old, 6 Elements and comprehended 2 basic and 1 fusion intent: Fire intent, Charm intent, and Withering Flame intent. Not bad. "

" Tiana 18-year-old, 3 elements and comprehended 1 grade-2 fusion intent: Lightning Inferno intent, this grade-2 intent is not bad but...she didn't even have mystic realm and her body is also weak, hmmm She must have received an inheritance of Lightning Inferno intent. "

The Captain continued to look through candidates who have comprehended intents while drinking coffee.
