At that moment, Clan Head Jeremy reached their side and checked Revona's condition closely. Following a quick examination, he eased a little after verifying that her wounds weren't too serious and she'd simply been rendered unconscious from the sword impact. He rose to his full height and faced Max, his features somber but steady.
"We lost this battle," he declared with a heavy sigh. "Your conditions will be fulfilled. Our two clans will supply you with sufficient resources to help you reach the peak of the Rebirth Realm without issues. As for studying the inheritance techniques of our clans, that hinges on whether you can triumph in the Tri Clan Tournament, set to happen in one year."
"Alright," Max responded softly as the void in his gaze began to lift gradually. His feelings crept back in, the intense sharpness around him softening as he emerged from his detached mindset.
With this, the event finally wrapped up. The intense pressure that had held the arena in its grip started to fade away, and the disciples who had watched the fight departed the stands one after another, their faces showing wonder, doubt, and lasting astonishment.
Quiet discussions broke out as they headed back to their halls, each one mentally reliving that climactic confrontation, aware they'd just seen an event destined to echo through the ages.
Max wasn't any different. He departed the arena in silence and made his way alone to the Thirty Third Hall, his steps firm and deliberate. Carl and Lucia had been called away by Lady Virelia for unknown reasons, so Max traveled solo. The route was peaceful, but his thoughts churned wildly inside.
The fight against Revona weighed on his mind, not due to the win, but from the nagging feeling that some core aspect of her stayed concealed.
That's when Tian's voice rang out in his head.
"Master, you got really lucky in that clash with Revona," Tian stated, his voice unusually grave.
Max lifted an eyebrow just a touch while keeping on his path. "Lucked out?" he questioned. "What exactly do you mean?"
"Since you're unaware, let me clarify," Tian answered gravely. "If I'm right, Revona holds the Void Origin Eyes of this era."
"Void Origin Eyes?" Max's brow furrowed. During the whole duel, he'd never caught sight of her eyes thanks to the phoenix mask she had on. "Are they truly that formidable?"
Tian didn't waver. "Master, the Void Origin Eyes rank among the mightiest eye powers around. Just one person per era is born with them, and never more than that at once. In this era, Revona is their true possessor."
Tian went on, his tone laced with deep respect. "In history, every owner of the Void Origin Eyes rose to become one of the top powerhouses of their time, if not the supreme one. They were beings at the pinnacle of humankind, supports that bolstered the human race and elevated it to its greatest position in the Divine Realm."
Max's eyebrows drew together a bit. "She was powerful," he conceded, "but not to an overpowering degree, not like what you're portraying."
"That's exactly why I called you fortunate," Tian responded, a subtle amusement in his tone. "She likely only awakened her Void Origin Eyes after entering the Rebirth Realm. That's why she hasn't gained full command of their real might or the dreadful skills they bring."
Tian's voice turned more somber as he delved deeper. "The Void Origin Eyes give their owner the right to cancel out strikes below their own power threshold. Any energy less than their core strength gets wiped out before it can fully form. They neutralize assaults no matter the type—be it physical, elemental, spatial, or even conceptual. Things like repelling or drawing in all kinds of existence are just extra perks, ripples from their main command."
He stopped for a second before pressing on. "A key power of the Void Origin Eyes is the ability to peer into the core of Divine Essence. This lets the owner shape Divine Essence at its deepest roots, offering control so total that nothing else compares. Just with that, they turn into unrivaled experts of Divine Essence in the Divine Realm."
Tian's tone dipped a notch, holding a trace of doubt. "There are more main powers too, though I don't know them all. Still, records prove this one ability alone lifts the Void Origin Eyes' bearer to the level of the scariest beings the Divine Realm has ever seen."
As Max kept heading to his hall, his face grew more serious. The picture of Revona poised steadily in front of him returned to his thoughts, along with how his power had vanished so easily.
"I had no idea eyes like these were in this world," Max whispered under his breath while walking, a small grin tugging at his mouth as thrill began to overtake wariness in his chest. The Divine Realm seemed vaster and more intricate with each secret revealed, brimming with enigmas that tested his wildest ideas.
At his core, he knew one truth. His run-in with Revona was nowhere near over, and their next meeting would carry far more impact than this one had.
As that idea took hold, another query arose in Max's mind, causing his pace to ease just a fraction. "Tian, you mentioned the Void Origin Eyes' bearer is unique per era," he noted, his voice even but digging for more.
"Yes, Master. That's accurate," Tian confirmed promptly. "Why do you ask?"
Max's eyes narrowed as he pressed forward, his mind focusing on one burning interest. "Then what of the heir to the Forgotten God?" he inquired. "What of the one with the Dimensional Keeper class?"
For the first time in ages, Tian held back his reply. A thick quiet filled Max's mind, stretching far beyond any prior delay. That quietness itself held power, enough to make Max's pulse pick up a touch. When Tian spoke at last, his voice shed its lightness and teaching air. It rang solemn, nearly worshipful.
"Master," Tian uttered deliberately, "the Dimensional Keeper isn't tied to eras like other beings. From ancient times, through endless rounds of birth and ruin, there's been just a single heir to the Dimensional Keeper. And you, Master, are that heir."
Max halted slowly, the weight of those words burrowing into his awareness.
