"You're a Royalty!" Yang Fei screamed.

But the void beasts did not hear him clearly as fear was more evident in their hearts as they looked up to the man above, with his purple eyes, not anything different from the void beast that they know. In fact, this man's eyes were… more oppressive. That sense of oppression they felt from the void beast, Yang Fei, could not even be compared to this man emanating the same kind of oppression.

It was the oppression of someone who was a native of the void. The weight of their opposition was just different. While Yang Fei could suppress them, the former could not keep up with them if they would choose to work together.

But in front of this man who just arrived, it was like they had seen a giant and they were just ants waiting to be stepped on.

"Royalty?" Yang Lujia muttered but his head suddenly ached that he subconsciously squeezed his head. However, it was only momentary.

"No!" Yang Fei realized what he said and hurriedly covered his mouth. He only had a headache and it was far worse than what Yang Lujia experienced. That was because he was the one who first said the word. "There is too much Karma in you… too much… that if I continue talking about our origins… I would die not being able to tell you everything…"

"Karma…" Yang Lujia said as soon as his head felt lighter than before. He swore to god that that was the most painful headache he had encountered, even if it was only momentary, but this did not concern him. His only concern was for more information. He was thirsty for more information.

Because it was only through that way he could get through the schemes his father had built from his birth until now.

To Yang Lujia, he was nothing more than a tool in his father's eyes.

There were several mysteries surrounding his identity and he couldn't even pick one to answer first. Should he let nature take its course? Or should he force his way to the truth?

Fortuniel, the system, was suspicious, appearing out of nowhere the moment he opened his eyes. Also, the fact that he woke up in the middle of war could be a warranty that his parents really intended for him to grow up in harsh conditions. In that Eucharistic War Battleground that he had never seen again, he knew that his grandfather might know something. He was just a passerby, for certain, but Yang Lujia forgot to ask him about the war before he left.

Maybe… maybe that could have already become his lead from then on.

Why was his head so induced to protect himself from this world when he was this strong to charge up? Wasn't information something he was thirsty for? Why would he stay cautious?

For the nth time, he felt like being overly cautious was a lifelong mistake he had made in this second lifetime. He had not considered his parents and the reason they left him in the middle of a savage war.

To him, it felt like everything was clear. At the same time, it wasn't.

Yang Lujia's heart raged. He was so enraged by the fact that there were some truths that he could not know for the time being. For someone like him who once endured the torture of any kind, this was much more torture to him when he had this freedom. Because he knew that sooner or later, he would suffer some unexpected backlash. Again, as what he had thought, there had never been free lunches in this world.

"However, you can have free lunch when you have the power to force others to give you one…" Yang Lujia said to himself as his mind was getting clearer and clearer.

Strength.

Yes, strength.

That was something necessary for him to grab.

Thinking of this, he commanded the rules of space as his eyes dropped towards the void beasts below him. "Sever."

SILENCE.

And in that millisecond he said that word, everything went dark for every void beast, except for Yang Fei.

SLIT.

PLOP!

"Now, we have more meat to eat in the future," Yang Lujia said he caught every chopped part of the void beasts by giving the order to Fortuniel. "As for you…"

Yang Lujia pointed at Yang Fei and the latter just willingly neared his distance from the former. "You shall become one of my subordinates. I have one with me. He's called Cai Hong. Well, if you work hard, it's not too late for you to redeem yourself. The only difference you have with him is that you have my bloodline, he… I'm not sure if he had, but so far, he did not have the family's bloodline. I could only sense the connection in his blood because he was somehow bound to me."

When Yang Fei heard his last words, the former quickly smiled and thought about his situation in the tribe. He was just a poor man in the Yang Tribe, a young man who had been told to have no prospects. Although he had the same bloodline, it was one of the thinnest out there.

However, he had one question in mind, though.

Why would a Royalty like Yang Lujia would not know anything about the affairs of the tribe? Did he not know that every Royalty would be accompanied by someone assigned by the tribe as their servant to protect them when necessary?

What even puzzled him the most was Yang Lujia's strength that in that certain instance, he eradicated all the void beasts without even batting an eye. Wasn't he supposed to be only at the peak Saint Emperor Realm as well? Why would he have that kind of strength?

Or Royalties just had this kind of strength with them—that anyone of the same rank would be trampled without even trying to raise their hands. If that was the case, then it would be truly scary. Yang Fei himself was only a poor man, so he did not know much about the Yang Tribe's matters as well. Therefore, he could not tell much to Yang Lujia, especially when what he would tell him would bear too much Karma that he would not be able to bear.

Last time, when Yang Lujia entered that space where there was that terrifying tree, Yang Lujia knew that the tree was just using an excuse not to tell him anything, or they were forbidden to tell divulge anything about the void—but it was actually not the case. Although he barely had an understanding of Karma, he could still guess that it was because of this that the void tree and the seniors he met there would not tell him anything about the void, especially regarding his family.

Brownie knew of this as well, but the dog kept silent.

Yang Lujia brushed off these thoughts and looked at the kneeling Yang Fei in front of him. Was this really the terrifying young man they had been guarding against? He seemed weak in front of him.

Yang Fei was now in his human form and did not dare to raise his head to look at Yang Lujia's purple eyes. It was like he was looking at a superior being if he would do so.

"Tell me," Yang Lujia began. "With your strength being able to trample down people with the same cultivation level as you, did you already have factions you made? Perhaps I could use it to make my base. Moreover, you don't need to worry about me monopolizing the power you had, you only need to obey my commands—even if it would take away your lives."

Of course, that was only a threat he had to establish—to deter any thoughts growing in Yang Fei's head. From what he had heard, this Yang Fei was secretive and perhaps in the surface picture, he had not shown himself too much for a grander purpose. Why would he descend here, into the Five Realms? What was his purpose for descending here?

"I own the Hall of Commerce and the Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order, Your Highness," Yang Fei replied without any hesitation on his face.

Since he was already discovered by a Royalty, he did not need to feel burdened about the mission he held in his hands. It was a mission that could change his fate as part of his family. Once he succeeded in doing so, he would be given a drop of blood from the Royalty. Although it could elevate the power of his blood and even if the effect was only minuscule, he had to take the opportunity.

'That's the blood of Royalty! It can change my strength and when it does, it will alter my fate!'
