He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Although he didn't know whether the gods were good or bad, Charon felt that he himself was not good at all.

He felt that things had been very unlucky all day, as if he had encountered some kind of evil spirit.

He was initially surprised to receive the invitation from the High Court today, thinking that the High Court had finally put aside past grievances and decided to accept him.

To his surprise, the receptionist didn't believe the invitation at all and rejected him outright.

Fortunately, I had a backup plan, and with some tricks up my sleeve, I managed to sneak in.

Originally, I only planned to steal a few oddities and then go back.

After all, they were just a few unwanted artifacts. Charon thought that even if he stole them, it wouldn't provoke the gods to take action.

Who would have thought that I would have such good fortune today, encountering a mysterious colleague?

The Void Godhood, which had garnered the most attention throughout the banquet, was stolen by an unknown figure at this crucial juncture.

Unfortunately, he happened to be nearby and became the scapegoat for the incident.

"Damn it, which bastard is trying to kill me? This is outrageous! And that person's thieving skills are even better than mine; I didn't even notice when their divine essence disappeared..."

Thinking of this, Charon looked around at the gods again.

In this situation, no matter how he explains, these gods will not believe him.

If he doesn't find a way to escape, he's afraid he'll be hacked to pieces by these gods who just scolded him.

"This time, I admit I was outmatched. Of all the times I've tried, this is the most humiliating I've ever been. If I don't fight back now, I fear I'm doomed."

Ultimately, Charon decided to use his trump card.

"Um... Your Majesty, Lord of Light and Holiness, no matter how audacious I may be, I could never be so arrogant as to steal a divine title."

Besides, you know my abilities and courage. I would never do something I'm not sure of. Someone is definitely trying to frame me..."

Upon hearing this, Gliese laughed.

His thoughts were transmitted directly to Charon's mind.

"More than who stole the divine status, I need a reason to punish you and settle old scores from these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Charon's brows furrowed instantly.

"Damn, we've been set up."

Seeing Gliese staring silently at Charon, one of the true gods below finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"Glitzer, what are you waiting for? Just take this kid..."

Before they could finish speaking, the gods suddenly felt their vision go black.

Stealing divine authority: for my own use

[The "Prison of Light" has been stolen and successfully replicated, activating the additional effect "Lightless Cage"]

All beings within this area, centered on themselves, lose all light, forming their own private space, remaining independent of the outside world during this period.

Charon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all the gods trapped in the dark cage.

"I never imagined I could even steal and imitate Gliese's power; it's a stroke of luck, really."

Now that they're trapped, I need to get out of here quickly. I have a really weird feeling about this place; if I stay any longer, something unexpected might happen.

Just as Charon was about to take the opportunity to escape, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a scene right in the center.

"Why is there an extra dark cage there? Could it be that the real culprit hasn't escaped and is being imprisoned?"

Thinking of this, Charon hesitated.

Under normal circumstances, he would have to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible.

But in the current situation, the person trapped in that cage is likely carrying that mysterious void godhood.

Now that the other party is trapped in a cage and unable to move, all I need to do is go around to their side, secretly activate the theft of divine power, and I can obtain the most valuable treasure of this banquet.

"How about... we take a gamble?"

Charon, the world-renowned god of thievery, never misses an opportunity he is confident of seizing.

Just as Charon was stealthily approaching, some movement suddenly emerged from the cage in the very center.

At this moment, Xie Bai was inside that lightless cage.

"I never expected some kind of thieving god to suddenly appear halfway through. I remember I sneaked in before thanks to him."

Now he not only took the blame for me, but also created this private space for me. He's a really nice person.

Thinking of this, Xie Bai looked at the Void Godhead in his hand.

Should we merge now?

"I was worried that when I fused with the Void Godhead, something might happen that would disturb the gods, but now the Lightless Cage is covering it up for me, which has solved this problem for me."

After confirming that everything was correct, Xie Bai selected the fusion option.

"Buzz"

Contrary to expectations, the entire fusion process went exceptionally smoothly, without any unexpected incidents, as easy as drinking water.

"It feels a little different from what I imagined. It doesn't feel particularly special, but that's fine. At least I don't have to worry about anything unexpected happening..."

Just as Xie Bai was thinking this, the void divine spark that had merged into his chest suddenly extended into a pitch-black expanse, enveloping the space around Xie Bai.

Xie Bai: "?"

By the time Xie Bai realized what was happening, she had already arrived in a space even darker than the lightless prison.

"Is this... the space inside the divine core?"

I can't see anything.

When I reached around, I felt an eerie emptiness.

There wasn't even the slightest breeze here.

It was as if nothing existed.

Just as Xie Bai was feeling puzzled, her gaze suddenly brightened.

To be precise, in her perception, there was one more person here.

"Oh, someone's here~"

Xie Bai could not sense the other person's presence; he could only vaguely hear their voice.

"Who are you... the Lord of the Void?"

"Hmph... a good child shouldn't be so blunt, not even trying to be tactful. But it's okay, after all, you only guessed half right."

"Only half right, which means you have some connection with the Void King. Could you be a remnant of her spirit...?"

Suddenly, Xie Bai felt a cold finger cover his mouth.

"The little guy is not only so cute, but also so smart. This is not so endearing..."

After the noise subsided, Xie Bai heard a soft chuckle.

"Hmph~ Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. But before we officially start talking, can you tell me your name?"

Hearing this, Xie Bai thought for a moment.

"Could you tell me your name first?"

For a moment, Xie Bai sensed that the other party had fallen silent again.

Shortly after, the other person's voice rang out again.

"Alright, I've finished saying my name. I wonder if you remembered it, little one."

Is that all?

A look of confusion appeared on Xie Bai's face.

"I clearly didn't hear anything."

Before Xie Bai could speak, the other person's voice rang out again.

"You seem confused, little one. You probably didn't hear anything just now. Well, my name has been erased for who knows how long. No one remembers it except myself."

Hearing this, Xie Bai sensed a hint of regret in the other person's tone.

"Um... you can call me Bai. I'll find out your name later."

"Oh, really? You're so confident, little cutie. But I believe you."

A moment later, Xie Bai felt the other person come up behind him and gently lift his left hand.

"Alright, I'll look forward to the name for now. Little cutie, you've come here to inherit the Void Godhood, haven't you?"

The next second, Xie Bai felt the other person gently bend down and rest their head next to him.

"Now, please move forward, don't look back. With every step you take, a shadow of yours will die behind you..."

Under the other party's guidance, Xie Bai felt himself slowly moving forward in this space where he had no prior knowledge.

There was no specific understanding, only a feeling of moving forward, very slowly, as if something was about to be touched, but it was always out of reach.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Bai, who was still immersed in a dreamlike state, suddenly heard a questioning voice behind him.

"Strange, does ascending to godhood in the void take this long...? Wait, why is there no shadow behind you?"
