**'Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion'**

Chapter 563: Chapter 562: Way forward

Void’s Multiverse...

"So... what about Void?" Sword Demon asked.

The room instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at one another, not knowing how to respond.

The main reason Sword Demon had been locked up was because he had gone against Void after learning that his disciples were still alive, even after Void had erased his world. Then Void told him he had killed them just before Shen Ye appeared.

Shen Ye had also been Sword Demon’s disciple.

It only highlighted Void’s cruelty.

And now, Sword Demon was asking about Void.

What could this mean?

Was another confrontation about to happen?

Linkir was the one who answered.

"At this moment, Void isn’t here. He’s conquering another realm," Linkir said as everyone turned toward Sword Demon, waiting for his reaction.

Sword Demon leaned back even more comfortably before speaking.

"Heh... interesting," Sword Demon said as he chewed on some popcorn.

"You guys, this show is actually pretty good, by the way."

While eating, Sword Demon spoke to the others, causing all of them to twitch helplessly.

Back at the Molak Family...

"Do you believe me now?" Leon asked as he looked at the shocked expressions around him.

"Second Prince, we..." the family head began.

"Hey, save the small talk."

"I also happen to have a Recording Stone with me, so we have a way to convince the neutral organizations to support us."

"At least, as far as I know, they aren’t under the hooded figure’s control," Leon said, leaving everyone speechless.

Even Devon looked at Leon again and again.

Was this really the useless Second Prince?

Whoever had called him a waste should come out now.

Devon would beat that person to death.

His scalp tingled.

This level of planning and scheming...

Even he would struggle to come up with something like this.

As for the family head and the elders, they finally understood that Leon’s claim about another family helping him if they refused wasn’t an empty threat.

With not only this discovery but also the proof in his possession, Leon could easily earn the trust of any hidden family.

"Princess Rasel, please... let’s head to the Awakening Chamber."

The family head hurriedly seized the opportunity before anyone else could react. He stood up and spoke with a bright smile.

Hearing that, Rasel, who had remained quiet the entire time, finally spoke.

"Alright."

"Leon... thank you."

She turned toward Leon as she spoke.

Leon simply nodded in response as he watched them leave.

The moment they were gone, the elders hurried over to Leon and began discussing various topics with him, trying to build a friendly relationship.

They had already realized that Leon was the true key to the royal family.

Rasel was merely the face of the alliance.

At the side, Devon frowned.

Of course, he couldn’t deny that Leon had helped them tremendously.

Even if they ignored the struggle for the throne, simply allowing Princess Rasel to awaken her physique was already a tremendous blessing.

The Molak Family would never have allowed it unless she officially became one of them.

But how could the Princess of the Ynvashi Kingdom’s royal family possibly join a hidden family?

If that happened, the Molak Family would indirectly gain influence over the royal family.

Naturally, the royal family would never allow such a thing.

But now...

With Leon’s help...

Everything seemed to have been resolved.

Yet Devon couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling in his heart.

Whenever he looked at the Second Prince...

He didn’t see a naïve young man.

He saw an old monster.

"I have to speak with the Princess."

"My instincts aren’t wrong."

"Something is definitely not right."

Devon couldn’t help but think.

---

Rasel was led to a massive room that only the family head and the ancestors of the Molak Family were allowed to enter.

"Inside is our Awakening Chamber."

"Once you enter, you won’t be able to come out for an entire day."

"Princess, although the dangers are minimal, they are not nonexistent."

"No matter how exhausted you become..."

"Never fall asleep."

"Your entire body will be baptized."

"Your mortal body will be torn apart, allowing your Phantom Physique to fully awaken."

"Your strength will increase exponentially."

"You’ll be able to communicate with the world far more clearly."

"And finally..."

"You will become the Saint of our family."

"Your position will be higher than even mine and equal to that of the Ancestor," the family head patiently explained.

Everything finally made sense to Rasel.

No wonder the Molak Family had rejected her at first and insisted she officially become part of their family.

Once her physique awakened, it would be as though she had gained authority within the Molak Family itself.

That was an enormous matter.

If such power ever fell into the hands of an enemy or an outsider, the consequences would be disastrous.

For the safety of their people and the continuation of their bloodline, they had no choice but to act cautiously...

Even if Rasel was the first person in more than a thousand years to possess this physique.

"Yes, Family Head."

"I understand."

"I won’t let you down..."

"Or the Molak Family."

Rasel said firmly.

The family head smiled faintly and nodded.

"See you in a day," the family head said as he opened the door.

A swirling, unstable space appeared.

Before Rasel could even react, she was dragged inside, and the family head quickly shut the giant door behind her.

He stepped back and looked at the murals carved into the door with a sigh.

"I hope our decision to support you doesn’t lead to our downfall," the family head whispered before turning and leaving.

However, he didn’t return to the main hall.

Instead, he went deeper into the building, entering a gateway that led to the Ancestor’s abode.

The air there was more than ten times fresher than the outside world.

The energy was several times richer as well.

Trees grew to heights of at least ten meters, while even the small animals had become fat and plump from living in such an environment.

The family head took a deep breath before walking toward the simple cottage standing in the middle of it all.

An old man sat on a recliner, enjoying the cool breeze as he fed rabbits with spiritual herbs that, if released into the outside world, would cause a bloody war between entire cities.

"Ancestor," the family head called out as he knelt on the ground.

The old man glanced at him.

"Hmm."

The Ancestor waved his hand, and a simple table with two chairs appeared beside them.

He then stood up and took a seat.

"Have a seat," the Ancestor said.

Only then did the family head rise, lifting his head from the ground before sitting down.

Seeing him seated, the Ancestor spoke first.

"I already know everything."

"You are not at fault."

"That kid, Leon... hid himself very well," the Ancestor said with a chuckle before letting out a sigh.

"As for the royal family..."

"I don’t know what exactly happened, but for that hooded figure to have such complete control over the princes..."

"It seems he must have already reached the royal family’s Ancestors."

The Ancestor sighed.

The family head’s eyes widened.

"Impossible..."

"Ancestor, they’re in the same realm as you."

"If that’s true, then doesn’t that mean..." The family head didn’t dare finish his sentence.

Could it be...

The royal family’s Ancestor was already dead?

"It’s possible."

"There is still a lot you don’t know."

"For now, focus on gathering our forces and go along with the current trend."

"That girl’s awakening may not only change our family..."

"It may also be what allows us to survive these turbulent times," the Ancestor said.

The family head was deeply shaken.
