Silence returned to the spacious hall with the occasional sound of splashes of black water.
"Either way, only one can come out of this place. The second we entered that darkness at the end of the passage. The fate had already been set. The crystal needs at least three souls. But the more the better."
Dylan sighed.
This is the setting of this place. Only one can come out. If the place detects that there are still two or three alive. The water would keep rising, and even the statue around the four sides would move to kill the rest, only leaving one survivor.
Obviously, there's no absolute in this world. There will always be exceptions. For instance, Orochi managed to escape through his own means and bypassed the setting of the Star Domain.
'As expected of a titled NPC He has a lot of lifesaving means. Hard to kill like a damn cockroach. The next time we face. We would be an enemy... Fortunately, I can still split my soul two times. Once, I used them to seize two other bodies, preferably that of heaven-defying human geniuses... My leveling speed will further go up crazily due to shared exp.'
'And he's saying something about coming for me once he wakes up? Does that mean that he'll fall asleep or into a deep slumber in a long period? Just how long?'
'I quite recall two Legendary NPC in the third version of the game. Geniuses among geniuses with extraordinary talent. At this time, I'm sure that they're still in their mother's womb. It would be a good opportunity to find them and use my two soul fragments to seize their body while their souls were still weak as babies.'
'Well, that's good news. I need to become stronger and think of counter-measures against his abilities. I feel excited just the thought of the help of those two geniuses NPCs that played a major role in version 3 of the game.'
Dylan woke up in his daze as the long-awaited beeping sound appeared continuously on his head.
*DING!*
[Congratulations to the host! For successfully completing the prerequisites of a hidden quest! You've successfully earned the profession "Overlord of Space"]
Dylan was ecstatic once he heard the prompt. Sick! Fucking finally! This is only one of the opportunities in his past memory and the first he got. There are still countless opportunities waiting for him. Each one is better than the other. The premise is, he needs to be ready for them, lest they slip past his head. Some opportunities haven't yet appeared; some were dormant, waiting for their rightful owners.
*DING!*
[You've received a significant amount of experience from the Savage Deer. You've leveled up!]
'Nice! My Savage Deer is still grinding exps. Fighting 12 hrs continuously somewhere. I wonder what level he is now...'
'Status!'

He finally had his first super skill! Plus, the system's evaluation of him finally became accetable. A decent genius is it?
Aside from leveling up from 31 to 32. His profession displayed the "Overlord of Space". Although it was A-rank. Its uniqueness made it so that its value far exceeded the normal S-rank. Even comparable to the top S-rank professions.
On the other hand, Dylan saw the Savage Deer turn from level 21 to 23. He went up two levels in just a few days. The grind kept going!
'Hahaha! At this rate, I thought I would need another 4 years to reach level 36 from level 30. But with the help of my Hobgoblin's goblin horde and Savage Deer that kept fighting monsters to grind exps. It seems It will be greatly shortened to a mere two years!"
Dylan clicked the profession "Overlord of Space" to view its details. He was really excited to read the description of its effect that made countless wealthy players in his life willing to spend a hundred thousand dollars to buy the account of the player that got this profession.

Type: Esper
Rank: Unique A-rank (Note: Unique Professions are 100x valuable over the same rank)
Description: The Overlord of Space, an Esper that was granted by the Tribunal of Heaven an unparalleled talent in space and an innate ability, "Space Dominion."
...
'This is it! HAHAHA! I now have unparalleled talent in space! With this talent, I can easily learn various skills related to space and comprehend the high-level law of space that isn't weaker than the law of time. Even those heavenly geniuses wizards struggle to even touch the entry of high-level laws.'
'But with my unparalleled talent in space law. It's as easy as eating and drinking!'
Not only that, the affinity to space was actually just a bonus. The real boon brought by the profession is its esper ability, "Space Dominion." After all, what makes Esper an Esper is their ability, right? It was the core of the profession.
As he thought of this, Dylan couldn't contain the excitement in his heart anymore and hurriedly clicked the Space Dominion to view its description.

Suddenly, a dark rift appeared in front of Dylan, enough to fit three people. He entered the rift with a smirk.
Time to test this Space Dominion! Although there's already a description of its capabilities. He wants to experience it personally.
