'So you knew.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Kreo's body with a complicated expression and picked up Kristine. With a twist of space, she 'disappeared'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her identity would no longer exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd become Kristine's guardian and live a 'normal' life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-How the hell did this happen?\" Varian rubbed his forehead as he tried to make sense of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna was on her feet, hopping from place to place, panicking like an ant on a stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard was pacing back and forth, and Varian was really worried the old butler might have a heart stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia looked at him in worry. She didn't seem worried about the situation that much. Rather, she was worried about how he would be affected by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kreo died to give his daughter a normal life.\" Varian sighed as if he couldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strand of soul power gave him a final message informing him of the 'outcome' before their connection was severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the revelation struck Varian like a lightning bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man as cruel and calculating as Kreo…how was he capable of sacrificing his life for someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Understanding a person is really har—' Varian's arm was pulled and he turned to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-It's supposed to be a normal revenge, right?\" Anna bit her lip as she looked at Varian with teary eyes. \"You killed him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The implications of a Sovereign's death are just too much…you should've at least waited until you were a level 9.\" Richard nodded as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian glanced at the old man's shirt and realized it was completely drenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The fuck. How nervous are you, really?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Varian's gaze, Anna put her hands on her hips and leaned forward. \"Why are you not nervous at all? Do you know what will happen without a Sovereign?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard's forehead now started to rain with sweat. The old man's face also turned pale as he muttered. \"M-Mars will be conquered….the planetoids will be gone…the balance breaks and we'll slowly lose everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he spoke, the more he sweated. In the end, the floor under Richard turned into a puddle of sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gave Richard a concerned look. 'Heart problem and now this. You should retire soon.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't say it out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think things will turn out fine,\" Varian said as he stood up and stretched his body. \"Bali will take up Kreo's place. He's already on his way to becoming a Sovereign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bali? What Bali?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sighed and summoned Boo. The little ghost looked at him with resentment but explained the situation to the elderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna's expression noticeably brightened and Richard certainly started to sweat less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Boo placed a bucket under him. 'Is this what they call sweating buckets?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bali…\" Anna's eyes flashed as she looked at Varian and controlled herself from showing her bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think he did this during Solar Banquet, Varian was really thinking ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if he's reaching the Sovereign state, it'd take time.\" Anna still shook her head with a regretful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian narrowed his eyes. \"Heaven's Will pushes those closest to level 9 to Sovereign state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, without asking, Boo explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna still wasn't convinced. \"And how long would that take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I was going to ask.\" Varian smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hologram popped up in front of the sofa and Varian smiled at the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sovereign Irene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pink castle:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was Kreo's order, even though hours passed since his death, no one entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an obscure figure whose strength far surpassed the officers entered the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the level 9s near the castle found the slightest clue of the person's movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving in the room with plush toys, the Sovereign bent down at Kreo's corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think you'd die like this…what a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't a hint of grief in his voice, only irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereign picked up the pendant hanging on Kreo's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aether Pendant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He injected his aura into the artifact and became its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Heaven's Will responded to his achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereign felt a surge of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now closer to the Celestial Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three more to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That'd be the day he'd destroy the abyssals once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-06T07:58:30.121Z",1,"novelbin.me","f77d9565d5c1d7f36fde1af8fd4ad437cebbc33a9a3077581bb5b9fb41edb16a","divine-path-system-chapter-734","divine-path-system-chapter-732",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
