Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

The Void Guardian's voice was calm: "He is different from you, from all of us. We have anger, fear, and desire—He doesn't. In His eyes, everything is quantifiable data. Your value, your threat, your potential—all of these can be quantified."

He stared at Liu Nian: "Given the potential you've shown so far, He would never eliminate you. In fact, He wouldn't directly eliminate any life. We suspect... that might be some kind of limitation of His life form."

After hearing this, Liu Nian felt a little more at ease, but more thoughts welled up inside him.

He felt that his current identity was very delicate.

I am a member of Cyber ​​Hell, but my true form is on the Reincarnation Ship, and now I'm involved with the Void Guardian...

So which camp do I belong to?

A pawn in cyber hell? A tenant of the Cycle? A collaborator in the void?

Liu Nian thought for a while, then his expression turned serious.

No.

I am who I am, and I do not belong to any camp.

All the players here, even those high-ranking transcendents—are all beings who have been forced into this game.

Identity, faction—it's all nonsense!

Having figured this out, he looked back at the decision: should he accept the Void Guardian's suggestion?

That makes things quite simple; we just need to figure out one key issue.

"I have a question for you," Liu Nian said, "Could you... defeat those five transcendents?"

The "you" that Liu Nian was referring to were naturally the Void Guardians.

The Void Guardian's red eyes flickered.

"In the void," he said, "the Transcendent do not possess the power of the rules bestowed upon them by Cyber ​​Hell. The Heart of the Fallen Demon grants them an advantage, but it has no effect on us Void Guardians. Here, they are merely high-level players, not embodiments of the 'rules'."

"And what about in cyber hell?"

"On Cyber ​​Hell and the Cycle, we Voidguards also lack the power of Void Immortality," the Voidguards stated frankly. "There, we can be killed."

Liu Nian nodded.

To put it bluntly, both sides have the advantage on their own territories. The Transcendent dares not easily enter the Void and the Cycle, and the Void Guardian will not rashly enter Cyber ​​Hell and the Cycle.

Liu Nian had also guessed that it was probably impossible to kill the Transcendent in Cyber ​​Hell, which was why he decided to fight the opponent in the void. As for whether the opponent would come or not, that was not something he could decide.

"After accepting the Void trait, besides growing larger and devouring, what other abilities do I have?" Liu Nian asked again.

The Void Guardian's answer was more detailed than Liu Nian had expected.

"As you may know, those recorded in the Cyber ​​Chronicles are not easily erased after death. Even if the faction they belong to has been wiped out, they will still exist in the form of souls."

Liu Nian nodded, like Hector, the last king of Ascalon, and the remnant soul of Huang Sui in the Dragon Abyss.

"Those who are recorded by the Void will become members of the Void Guardians after their physical bodies crumble. As long as the Divine Tree of All Realms still exists, we will be immortal."

Liu Nian's pupils contracted slightly.

"You mean... if I die, I'll become one of you?"

"Yes," the Void Guardian said.

Liu Nian was silent for a few seconds: "Anything else?"

"Yes," said the Void Guardian. "The Void trait will provide you with powerful sustain, repair, and survivability. Simply put, it means extremely rapid energy recovery, extremely rapid limb regeneration, and the ability for the Void to permanently absorb 90% of any damage you take."

Liu Nian thought about it and felt that these abilities were indeed quite good and very practical.

He took a deep breath and made his decision.

"Very well. I accept the gift of the void."

The Void Guardian's red eyes suddenly lit up, like two flames being ignited.

"Very good. Eat this."

A crack appeared in its body, and a translucent fruit emerged from it.

The fruit was about the size of an apple, with a smooth surface and a ball of dark liquid slowly rotating inside, like a condensed starry sky compressed into a single fruit.

Liu Nian took it, held it in his palm, and felt its cool, flowing texture.

"This thing... won't change my race or profession, will it?"

"No," Void Guardian said. "It just gives you an additional Void trait. You can think of it as a new talent, or a new passive skill. Your core template remains unchanged."

Liu Nian felt relieved.

He put the fruit in his mouth.

The fruit melts in your mouth.

It had no taste, no texture; the inky liquid slid down his throat, like a cold little snake burrowing into his body.

The next second, his consciousness suddenly went blank.

The void before my eyes instantly changed.

Originally, those orbs of light were just orbs of light in his eyes, but now he "saw" much more—inside each orb, countless fine lines flowed, like blood vessels or roots, extending into the depths of the void, and finally converging on a huge tree whose entire form could not be seen.

That's the Boundary Tree?

Or perhaps, that is the divine tree of all realms?

The image lasted only a moment before his consciousness returned to his body.

He looked down at his hands, which showed no change.

But a strange itch came from my back, as if something was growing out from under my skin.

"Don't move," said the Void Guardian. "Let them unfold on their own."

Liu Nian stood still, feeling the itching sensation spread from his back to his sides. Then, six pairs of wings burst forth from his back.

Unlike the feathered wings of angels or the fleshy wings of demons, these were six pairs of ink-wash-like wings, semi-transparent with blurred edges, like the marks of thick ink spread on rice paper.

The surface of the wings has no fixed pattern; the ink flows slowly, sometimes condensing into a pattern, and sometimes dispersing into nothingness.

They unfolded slowly, but each inch of their unfolding carried a strange weight, as if something was being drawn from his body, or as if some force was refilling him.

After all six pairs of wings were fully extended, Liu Nian felt an unprecedented sense of lightness.

He tried to use his mind—instantly disappearing from his spot and reappearing a hundred meters away. There was no sound of wind breaking, no energy fluctuations, as if that space had been "replaced".

"Infinite teleportation!"

The Void Guardian said, "That's not quite accurate. Essentially, it's not teleportation; it's void displacement, an ability that every Void Guardian possesses. But it's important to note that this ability is suppressed in Cyber ​​Hell."

Liu Nian tried again, his figure flashing several times in the void, each time appearing precisely at the location he wanted to reach.

"What about getting bigger?"

"Give it a try," said the Void Guardian. "Use your mind, just like you use any other skill."

Liu Nian closed his eyes and focused his mind—to grow bigger.

His body suddenly swelled up.

From two meters to ten meters, to a hundred meters, to a thousand meters—in the blink of an eye, he became a giant with a height of over 50,000 meters.

This volume has already exceeded the limit of his use of the Heaven and Earth Techniques, but it feels like he can still continue.
