I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Inside the villa atop the mountain.

Harvey saw the lively atmosphere in the community through Sonia's cosmic communicator, which was due to Lacey's takeover of the Void Land administrators, and a smile appeared on his face.

Sonia, seeing that most of the members of the Void Cult hoped to obtain a public office, knew that her discussion with Mr. Kassadin had been effective.

Chapter 431 His test will be difficult

The public office that Lacey was given came with a considerable salary, and it was the result of discussions between Sonia and Mr. Kassadin.

The primary goal, of course, is to ensure that Lacey receives a decent reward, making her willing to do the job.

Another purpose was to stir up the emotions of other members of the Void God Cult.

This paves the way for her to find suitable personnel to manage farming and animal husbandry.

Moreover, there can be multiple people managing farming and animal husbandry.

Once this information is released, it will motivate members of the Void God Cult and encourage them to take action in planting and breeding.

However, before that, we need to let this positive momentum build up.

She also needs to go to Muse to buy some planets, which is expected to be officially implemented in a few months.

To buy some good planets, you need to talk to the Nova Corps.

Because the civilizations and planets near Xandar are basically protected by Xandar.

Most of the Void God Cult members are reasonable, so if they can buy it, they don't need to resort to robbery.

Sonia then continued to compile the list of collectibles she had brought back from the Land of Nothingness and began to estimate their value.

Mr. Kassadin has no collecting hobby, nor does Sonia, so a large portion of these collectibles will definitely need to be sold.

As for the specimens of various races, Sonia decided to see what Mr. Tony thought.

Specimens from various races fall under the field of genetics. If they can be thoroughly studied, more advanced gene-based drugs can be developed.

That would allow for a comprehensive improvement in the overall genetic makeup of the civilization in which the Void God Cult resides, and those people might become members of the Void God Cult. Having a higher foundation would definitely be a good thing.

I just don't know if Mr. Tony is interested in this.

If they're not interested, they'll all be turned to ashes and won't be sold.

Besides managing the Void Island, her main responsibilities now are to discuss the general direction of development with Mr. Kassadin, and then find ways to implement it after that.

The development of a power involves far too many factors and cannot be accomplished overnight.

While it must be admitted that direct conquest can lead to rapid expansion, the Void God Cult suffers from a small number of members, making it difficult to quickly take over after conquering the territory.

Therefore, Sonia is not considering expanding her territory for the time being.

After the various responsibilities within the Void God Cult are distributed and the overall strength is increased by several levels.

If newcomers can quickly get up to speed under the guidance of their seniors and be directly responsible for certain areas, then they can start to consider expanding their territory.

Sonia began to categorize the already appraised collectibles, deciding which ones to keep and which ones to sell.

After all these collectibles were sold, the Void God Cult was finally free from its financial difficulties.

After celebrating, Lacey, Tony, and the others went home to rest as it was getting late at night.

※※※※※※※

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and March arrived.

The members of the Void Cult also completely emptied the Void Collector's lifelong collection.

They all sank into the categorized storage vaults on the seabed beneath the Void Island.

The entire sea area near Void Island belongs to Void Island, so it doesn't matter where it's placed; as long as it's categorized and organized properly, it will be easy to handle later.

During this month, Star-Lord spent all his time outside of eating and sleeping at the Void Temple.

After a month of no significant results, most people would inevitably become impatient.

However, Star-Lord had already decided to fight a protracted war, unless Tony reminded him that if it didn't work out in two years, he could leave.

He could stay here for decades or even centuries.

Because if one can awaken within decades or centuries, it will certainly be much faster than if one awakens naturally.

Harvey was also observing Star-Lord's situation and still had no intention of letting Star-Lord pass.

He wanted to see just how determined Star-Lord was for revenge; so far, Star-Lord hadn't shown any outward respect while secretly complaining.

Every night before going to sleep and when I wake up, I cheer myself up and then begin a new day of worship.

The other people who came seeking the blessing were already giving Star-Lord strange looks, thinking that his behavior was somewhat foolish.

This is the greatest test besides the test of time, namely, the opinions of others.

Harvey will not test the humanity of those who have already joined the Cult of the Void, but he will definitely test the humanity of those who have not joined.

Only by seeing through a person's true character can one determine whether they are beneficial to the Void God Cult.

Based on what Harvey knows about Star-Lord...

Although Star-Lord's strength is not high, he is a hero with principles and bottom lines who is willing to help the weak.

But Harvey had no idea how patient Star-Lord really was.

Moreover, Star-Lord's life trajectory has clearly changed.

If he had the ability of the Void Prophet, he wouldn't need to keep watching.

We can simply observe Star-Lord's future and wait for the right moment to make a decision.

The problem is that Harvey doesn't yet possess the abilities of a Void Prophet, so he still needs to observe it personally.

However, Star-Lord, realizing the heavy responsibility he bears, has completely shed his former thuggishness, replaced by a smooth and mature way of dealing with people.

And thanks to Sarah's guidance, even though she knew she was weak on Void Island, she didn't feel inferior; she simply learned not to have too much contact with the other members of Void Island.

Star-Lord could have gone to talk to Tony and the others, but he didn't go for a whole month.

This change still surprised Harvey quite a bit.

However, it's too early to let Star-Lord join us, because humanity is only just beginning.

Not to mention that the test of time becomes more difficult with each day of delay.

Star-Lord is a half-human, half-god hybrid whose lifespan is naturally many times longer than that of others, and whose potential is also many times greater than that of ordinary people.

Once Star-Lord receives the Void Blessing and awakens early, he will gain immense power, allowing him to reach the pinnacle of his life countless years ahead of schedule.

The true nature hidden within Star-Lord will inevitably be revealed.

Therefore, Harvey still has many concerns about whether to let Star-Lord join the Void.

It's not that Star-Lord lacks potential, it's that his potential is too great; in fact, he's even more monstrous than Thor.

Thor is the son of Odin, and the potential of his bloodline is beyond doubt.

Even so, if Thor follows his original trajectory, he will not reach the pinnacle of the universe until he is middle-aged or nearing old age.

Furthermore, due to Asgard's past characteristics, Thor cannot act recklessly when he is at his peak, otherwise he will be unable to control the power within him.

Moreover, there is no doubt about Thor's character; he has an absolutely pure and innocent heart.

Therefore, Harvey decided to observe Star-Lord for at least two years before making any decisions.

Since Star-Lord told others that he would reunite with his companions in two years, and even if this didn't happen, he would still come back to ask for blessings in the future.

However, it's easy for anyone to talk about it, but difficult to actually put it into practice.

If two years have passed and Star-Lord has truly weathered the storm, then he will have to acknowledge Star-Lord's resolve.

Star-Lord was unaware that Kassadin, the god of the void, was observing him.

However, Star-Lord had already sensed the strange looks he was getting from the people around him.

This made Star-Lord secretly sigh, no wonder the trials of the Void Cult are getting harder and harder.

The piercingly strange looks from these people, and their words that could easily sway one's mind, are also a kind of test.

"Great Void God Kassadin, grant me the blessing of the Void and change my future."

As Star-Lord repeatedly worshipped the statue of Kassadin, he kept repeating the same words over and over again.

Even though he didn't know how long this ordeal would last, Star-Lord knew that only unwavering faith could earn him recognition.

"This guy does seem to have some skill."

Kyle sat on a tree three kilometers away from the Void Temple, watching Star-Lord constantly muttering to himself.

Do you think he can pass?

Renoli smiled and said upon hearing this.

"I didn't say that. I just never expected that the guy who used to be so carefree and opportunistic would turn out like this."

"People do grow up, don't they?"

Kyle had naturally heard about Star-Lord's situation.

He also recognized Star-Lord as the thug who had pleaded with him for the others during the Xandar campaign.

"His father has an extraordinary background and will become a top expert once he awakens."

"Lord Kassadin should also be considering whether or not to let him join."

"Even if Lord Kassadin agrees, his test will likely be more difficult than anyone else's."

The one who had foreseen this spoke up.

The bloodline of a top-tier powerhouse in the universe, a human-god hybrid, once awakened, can reach the pinnacle below the universe's peak.

This is only the potential inherent in Star-Lord himself. If he were to receive the blessing of the Void, it would be inevitable that Star-Lord would join the ranks of the strongest beings in the universe.

They have all personally experienced the surge in desire brought about by immense power.

For someone like Star-Lord, whose power explodes upon awakening, his desires will only grow even faster.

If one's mind cannot control the power they possess, and they stray even slightly from the right path, they will become reckless and do whatever they want, gradually lowering their moral standards and eventually turning into a monster.

Such an existence is nothing to Lord Kassadin, the god of the void, but it would be a great catastrophe for the universe.
