The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 85: Senior Rishen

Athan walked to her body and saw that her heart had stopped beating.

...

Inside the Black whirlpool, Mimi also dispersed the cloud and said, " Mimi feels very weak now so I will sleep, Big sister you can continue to practice here. I will later help you get strong like guardian brother. " Saying this, She waved her little left hand towards the lake as some of the water from it arrived towards Mimi which she drank and slept on her bed.

Tiana's mouth was agape as she clearly saw Mimi obliterating Stella's soul with a wave of her hand.

...

Outside, just as Stella died, Several people were alarmed inside the Academy.

Stella's Master and The Teacher who watched over Soul plates of Profound Domain students were the first ones to be alarmed as they disappeared from where they were and arrived right at Athan's house.

Here, Just as Athan had sighed a relief, He was smacked to the ground by even more forceful pressure and started to bleed everywhere.

But it only lasted for two seconds before A voice sounded and the pressure disappears.

" Stop it, Segan. "

Afterward, Two men could be seen descending from the sky. One looked to be in his forties with short purple hair and a burly body and another one looked like an old man in his sixties and had white hair and beard.

The burly man with purple hair glared at Athan before dashing towards Stella's body. While the white-haired old man sighed before looking at Athan and said, " That student, I would like to hear about everything that happened here. "

Athan's feelings currently were only one and that was Anger. First, he was beaten by Stella and went through a lot in the short time frame, and now this fuker burly man smacked without saying anything.

' They can treat me like shit because I'm weak. '

" What are you getting angry for little bastard? The one who is dead is not you but my disciple. " The burly man said to Athan with some anger before he looked at the white-haired old man and said, " Senior Rishen...."

Senior Rishen interrupted him and said, " He is just an Origin Plane student and there is no way he can kill her, also her cause of death is unnatural, Her soul had left her body before it was destroyed. "

He then looked at Athan and said, " Speak what you have to say, If you say any falsehood, I will know right away. "

Athan took a deep breath to calm himself before he spoke, " First, can you thoroughly check her body? Because she is not a human. "

" BRAT!! Don't outstep your bou--"

" Shut up!! "

The burly man was just about to speak but he was cut off by Senior Rishen who waved his hand to bring Stella's body towards him and check it as his eyes shined with golden light.

After a few seconds, Senior Rishen's face darkened as Stella's body started to change.

Segan on the other hand had a shocked expression on his face as he muttered, " Amarphy...."

Stella's body had changed into a different form.

Her skin color became light pink and a small tail emerged from behind her, Her ears turned a bit long and two slim pink antennas appeared on her head.

Senior Rishen snorted before looking at Segan and said with a darkened face, " So this Amarphy is your student? "

Segan snapped out of the daze and said with a pale face, " No no, Of course not. If I knew she was an Amarphy I would have killed her myself. "

" Go and tell Head Teacher about it, and also tell him and I'll handle this. "

Segan nodded before he flew away and was out of sight in two seconds.

Senior Rishen on other hand stored the body of Stella somewhere as it suddenly disappeared and looked at Athan.

" You will have to come with me as I have to ask more things. "

After hearing this, Athan felt like he was bound by something and a small portal appeared in front of Senior Rishen in which Athan was forced to go in before Senior Rishen went inside it too.

...

In a big room somewhere, Athan appeared out of a similar portal.

The room was not fancy but there were some plants which made Athan feel very comfortable just by looking at them.

The atmosphere of the room and smell was also relaxing.

" Stay here for a while, I'm going to check something before coming here to ask you some questions. "

Athan heard the voice from behind him but when he turned around, He saw no one but a warm energy current enveloped his body as the injuries inflicted on him by Segan started to heal.

After a minute, His injuries were healed and he also heard footsteps from behind him.

Looking back, He saw Senior Rishen walking towards him with a faint smile.

" Let's take a seat first. "

Saying this, A chair appeared behind Athan on which he sat down before Senior Rishen also sat down on a chair in front of him.

" Let's start from the beginning, What happened to your partner or where is your partner? "

Athan looked at Senior Rishen with a serious expression and said, " Senior, Do you have any means to check whether whatever I'm saying true or false. "

" If you are talking about technique or ability, Then I don't have one. But I have confidence in myself that I can see through whether an 18-year-old is telling truth or not. "

Athan took a deep breath and started speaking, " First, I would never harm Tiana and second, I...can't tell you where is she. But she is safe and will return after I step into Soul Altar Plane. "

Senior Rishen nodded with a faint smile and said, " Continue, What happened after Stella appeared there? "

" When she arrived at first, She asked about Tiana disappearance though I didn't tell her the truth and made up a random excuse. But after that, She suddenly released a pink fog that invaded my consciousness, and what happened afterward, I don't know because I don't remember but She then forcefully invaded into my Mystic Realm with her soul before being killed. "

" How did she die? "

Taking a breath, Athan said with a serious expression, " I can't say exactly, but It seems whoever enters inside my mystic Realm dies. Senior, I am telling the truth so don't try to do that otherwise if you also die then a mountain of troubles would crop upon me. "

" Hahahaha..."

Hearing what Athan said, Senior Rishen started to laugh out loud.

After laughing for a bit, He looked at Athan and said with a smile, " What you said contains truth and false both. "

Athan started to sweat as he knew that the person in front of him was by far the most powerful being he met.

" Don't be scared, Since you did not say everything truthfully, I'll give you two choices. " Saying this, A small table appeared in the middle of them before he pointed his hand towards the table and a square box appeared on it.

" The First choice is to be under surveillance every second until you tell me the truth and in case you showed suspicious behavior you will be interrogated. I would not recommend this choice as it is tiring for both you and me along with the security department. "

" The Second choice is this box, This box contains my personal Soul Artifact. What you have to do is to place your left hand on it and swear that I will never have thoughts of harming the human race as a whole. "

Athan was startled but then he asked, " You mean I can't even fight other humans? "

Senior Rishen smiled and said, " You can fight other humans and can even kill if they are your enemies, But you can't have thoughts of harming the human race as a whole. The moment you produce those thoughts, This Artifact will sever your soul and you will die a true death. "

Athan thought, ' Obviously I will never have thoughts of harming the human race as a whole. So this choice is quite easy for me. '

But he suddenly thought of something and asked, " If you have this kind of artifact then can't you use it on everyone? Then other races will not be able to infiltrate into the Academy. "

Senior Rishen shook his head and said, " If it was possible, Then we would have long done it. The natural materials needed to create this artifact are quite precious and it's also hard to create so we can only use them on the selected important individuals, You must know that to be able to kill a person from afar just because he broke the oath is something incredible. Normally I shouldn't be using this on you. "

" Then why do you want to use it on me? I'm just a measly Origin Plane Student. " Athan asked confusedly.

Senior Rishen smiled and said, " Because I study Fate $%&# and I can feel that you have tremendous potential in you. Your future self might propel humanity forward in this cruel world but if you become an enemy of humanity and it might similarly damage us, That's why I'm willing to use this artifact. "

Athan had a confused expression as he asked, " Fate what? I couldn't hear it. "

" You don't need to bother with that for now, Your plane of existence is too low to know about such things. So tell me, Which one is your choice. "

Athan didn't hesitate and said, " The second choice. "

Hearing it, a Smile formed on Senior Rishen's mouth as he spoke, " Good choice, Now put your hand on the box and recite what I told you. "

Athan did as told and after taking the oath, The box shined with white light for a few seconds before it subsided.

Senior Rishen then waved his hand as the table and box both disappeared.

" Alright, I wasted a previous spot of this Artifact on you and saved you a lot of troubles so perform well in the Newbie competition that will be held after 9 months. If you can show me your potential then I will take you in as my personal student. "

Athan grinned and said, " Since you know that I hold great potential by using fate something, Then why don't you take me as your personal student now? "

Senior Rishen smiled and waved his hand which caused a portal to appear under Athan's feet as He fell down into the portal and disappeared.

After Athan disappeared, Senior Rishen shook his head before he sighed and muttered, " Brat, Your Fate's direction and potential even scares me but I'm willing to take this risk. I hope you do not disappoint me. "
