Divine Path System-Novel

Blake looked at his bewildered peers and his lips curled up. "He was a low level 9 adventurer a year ago. Then, he died or that's what we were told. Now, he appeared here."

Everyone frowned at the info. It was more troubling than expected.

"There is another." Blake clapped and the video changed, showing the interior of a secret realm.

It suddenly started shaking and in a minute, the white barrier of the secret realm faded out, showing the dark space.

Due to continous attacks, the secret realm was pulled out from hiding.

Then, a few men and women in level 9s and level 8s entered the secret realm.

What happened next could only be described as a man-made apocalypse, a terrifying slaughter.

Fire burnt down everything in hundreds of miles, space cracked and swallowed everything in its vicinity, dozens and dozens of blue plants appeared and slaughtered the humans.

With most of the forces gone for the attack, the secret realms were left with little protection. They were quickly destroyed.

The Shadow Lords weren't as surprised at this. They knew the destruction of the secret realms, that's why they ordered the closing of black markets.

They weren't afraid of Athena agents or Shadow Guardians invetigating their black markets.

They found someone who was responsible for why the mission failed.

From the sudden hand that appeared in the planetoid RL-34 kidnapping Han Nial to how all the information about the military officers, the sleeper cells and gangs was revealed to the federation, they knew who did it.

Dreamer.

Even the abyssals suspect that the reason their plan leaked out was because of Dreamer.

From the way a single hand appeared to take Han Nial away, they could more or less guess that Dreamer's space shuttle was invisible.

But still, that didn't make him any lesser threat.

He was single handedly responsible for the uprooting of Order on Earth and Uranus.

What was such a terrifying man doing at the moment?

"Are you sure about this?" Irene asked the man in white in a confused voice.

"Absolutely." Varian nodded his head. "Don't reveal a word about me. Keep it as simple as possible. That's my only request for you."

"B-But the world would never know what you did for them, how much you paid for them…all that hard work, you'd get neither the recognition nor the respect you deserve." Sovereign Irene looked into his eyes and said.

Varian simplly laughed at her comment. "I don't want fame. Not now at least. Maybe in the future, you can testify when I announce my achievements."

He simply meant it as a joke, but Sovereign Irene nodded. "Sure. Until you then, I won't pry into your secrets."

Varian nodded. Sovereign Irene took a deep breath and sent him a file. "Use it well. I hope it can save you some travel time."

"Teleportation pass?" Varian's face turned weird. He read the file and gaped. "Don't tell me it's really real?"

If it was real, he could really teleport from one planet to another. From Mercury all the way up to Neptune.

But such a pass wasn't free and should've costed her a lot of resources. Yet, there was no sign of displeasure on her face.

"It's the real deal. You also have a fake identity. As long as you don't mess up, your interplanetary travel would be very convenient." Sovereign Irene said.

Varian suppressed the urge to pump his fist into the air. Dreamer was apparently treated as a Sovereign, so he should put up a dignified act.

"I'll use it if needed." He said with a calm voice.

"Please do. I'm not monitoring your pass. With your powers, I doubt anyone can track you anyway." She laughed lightly.

Then her eyes turned serious, causing Varian's body to stiffen momentarily.

"Are you a peak level 9?"

"Pardon?"

"I am pretty sure you didn't reach Sovereign level. Maybe your powers are amplified by your unique space shuttle. Or else, a single Sovereign could've solved the entire issue.

You had to search for the clues, understand the truth and inform me for assistance.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking down on you. But I think it's pretty obvious you're not a Sovereign." She said lightly.

Varian's face twitched, but he simply nodded. "Yep, I'm not there yet. But if my past records are anything to go by, think I'll reach the Sovereign state soon."

"Great!"

He meant going from high level 6 to Sovereign.

She thought it was peak level 9 to Sovereign.

"I really want to see a 9th Sovereign…are the aura seals really unbreakable?" Irene Nial muttered.

"Aura Seals?" Varian raised a brow.

Irene slapped her forehead. "I forgot, you weren't supposed to know this. Nor any non-Sovereigns usually."

Varian chose to ignore her comment.

Since she already started, she'd finish what she started.

"Dreamer, have you ever though about why since the first war, humans only had Eight Sovereigns and continue to have only eight even after more than 80 years?"

Varian's eyes narrowed. Of course, he thought about it a lot. One more Sovereign and peace would be in sight. Not just him, everyone believed it. But… what was she saying now?

"Think about it, humans were only peak level 9 until abyssals came. Then sometime after they found artifacts in the ruins, eight humans reached Sovereign state.

Coincidentally, six of them were holders of artifacts while the remaining two got most treasures than others from the ruins.

Thereafter, new Sovereigns appeared only after the Old Sovereign died. The 9th Sovereign, despite better practice conditions and higher talent remained only a dream." Irene stated.

Varian recalled the history he read during his childhood.

In fact, this replacement was so quick that he wondered if these new Sovereigns already reached that state and waited for their elders to die. Or was there some grand conspiracy?

Seeing Varian deep in thought, Irene Nial smiled. "It got nothing to do with any human or abyssal.. It's the Will of Heavens itself."
