Chapter 132-Its Starting.
'It's quite good.'
Xiao thought as he read through the 'gift' that Teresa had given him. If used well, it could be a good part of his strength.
'She's a good person to have as an ally.'
Xiao pondered, now that his mind was not clouded over anymore, he could think and plan well more.
========================
Gift of the Void Empress Of Endless End
Power: Addition of the attribute of disintegration and destruction.
Description: Thanks to the blessing of Teresa, the host is now capable of adding some of the properties of Void Qi to his attacks, making them much more deadly.
*If the host is near Li Lun when he uses his blessing, then his powers over void would multiply over ten times.
========================
The last part of Xiao's 'gift' was making his lips twitch. He could blatantly see the scheme being cooked here, but he didn't reject the blessing. Power was power, and he wasn't going to reject it over such a childish reason, especially when he is going to make Li Lun his, a girl like that isn't one Xiao would let go of, his greed wants him the best and Li Lun is among the best.
'I have to go through the battle.'
Thinking so, Xiao took a deep breath as he entered his mindscape. Soon, a replica of the past battle was formed, and Xiao started to replay the battle that he recorded in his mind. His eyes focused on each of the movements and issues from the battle. The more he watched, the more he shook his head.
'I have been wasteful.'
Xiao understood. Since it was his first time calling upon his 'subjects' to the real world, Xiao had gotten a bit more excited, thus not giving proper instructions in the battle. The army he called upon was his, and as its commander, it was his responsibility to make sure that his soldiers fought in an effective way that reduced deaths.
Though in this case, the army he called upon is dead, even other than that there are several other abilities of his that he didn't use at all in the battle, showing off how inefficient his current battle plans are.
'Sigh... no use crying over spilled milk.'
Thinking so, Xiao rebuilt the fight from before, creating a similar situation again. This time Xiao wanted to finish the battle sooner and in a more effective manner. Back in Ingrid, due to his mercenary status, he had learned a lot about leading battles, commanding, and planning, thus he was effectively able to plan a better fight.
It was much more fluid now since Xiao knew much more about Teresa, thus granting him an edge.
'Hmm... looks like I will need to swallow up the souls of some great generals.'
There were several things he is lacking on, and he needs to decrease his weakness bit by bit. As such, Xiao went into deep practice, his mind understanding every growth within his power, slowly adjusting to his growth. Xiao, within his mindscape, started to learn all his power, and as time passed by, a new day began.
Just as it did, a deep rumbling shook the realm Xiao is in, finally taking him out of his training. Still sitting cross-legged, Xiao opened his eyes, both of them flashing with different colors. He was now much calmer than before, his presence looking a bit more frightening and dangerous.
The aura that Xiao gave off was a mixture of inconsistencies that took people's attention no matter where he stood. The passive connecting feeling of his was combined with the natural aura of danger and fire given off by his cultivation technique. This was also combined with the natural presence of death, the status giving him a prideful and a dangerous feel, as if death is closing in.
Each of these sensations was combined with Xiao, all of them coming together to give him a natural feel that swayed one's heart and focus. Xiao's long hair sprawled on his back as he stood up, slowly stretching his body to get its feel back.
'Man, sitting like this is indeed boring.'
Xiao complained as his eyes moved toward the cocoon that held Li Lun. It was shaking, and several cracks could be seen in it.
"She will be out soon."
Teresa spoke as she appeared beside Xiao, who nodded his head at her words, his eyes focusing on the girl that would soon be reborn, a girl who, even though brief, would be able to gaze at the world, a girl who would be reborn strong.
"Won't you see her?"
Xiao asked as he saw Teresa's body getting a bit blurry.
"No, something tells me the first thing she wants to see isn't me."
Teresa spoke with a mischievous tone before her entire body disappeared, leaving Xiao facing a cocoon that was descending to the ground, reaching his level as the cracks around it started to spread wide, a subtle grey light leaving the cocoon.
'This will be a mess.'
Xiao mused, and as he did, the cracks filled every edge of the cocoon before it burst open, a vibrant light filling Xiao's face and forcing him to close his eyes. It took a moment before he was able to open them.
'Thank god she's clothed.'
Xiao thought. Even though they weren't the same clothes she wore before awakening, it was still clothing. But then Xiao's eyes focused on Li Lun herself, making him take a deep breath at her change.
Her ethereal presence defied any notion of feebleness. Suspended gracefully above the ground, she emanated an otherworldly aura. Strands of obsidian hair, once dark, had transformed into a radiant shade of silver, flowing like liquid moonlight. Her form, visible through the delicate fabric of her dress, possessed an otherworldly luminescence, her skin lightly grey yet that tone only making her more exquisite.
Her countenance, though only a ten-year-old, bore an arresting beauty that transcended mortal standards. Perfectly symmetrical features adorned her face—a cute, pointed nose, and lips tinted in a gentle shade of red. The innocence of youth blended seamlessly with timeless elegance, creating a visage that captivated the beholder, two cute looking horns than menacing curling at her head.
In this moment, she didn't evoke desire but rather a profound sense of reverence. Xiao was certain that, with each passing year, her evolving beauty would enchant and enthrall all fortunate enough to gaze upon her. Yet, amid this enchantment, Xiao's attention gravitated toward a particular feature that set her apart—the third eye on her forehead. Closed at the moment, alongside her two conventional eyes, it held an enigmatic allure, a mysterious portal to depths untold.
'What's her power now?'
Xiao thought as he peeked into the current her.

'This is good, just as I thought, her other side has yet to be awakened, which means there is still more to her.'
Xiao thought as he gazed at the status of Li Lun. Some of the power she had, even he didn't know what they meant, but he could tell that she had undergone a complete rebirth. Strictly speaking, she was no longer human; she had turned into the highest level of void being.
'What's up with her cultivation?'
Xiao asked All-Seer.
[It's not her true cultivation, it's restricted to this current level.]
'Must be Teresa's doing.'
While Xiao thought so, Li Lun's body slowly started to descend as she reached the ground, her dainty feet touching the ground, while the grey one-piece dress suited her. Her two eyes started to flutter as they slowly started to open, and the first thing her eyes gazed at was Xiao.
