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

Once inside, Brandon discovered that a sky dock had appeared there at some point.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to have been built by a group of Voidlings.

"Strange, those Zerg also have building capabilities?"

After much thought, the only people he had encountered in the Void Hive besides Xie Bai and his group were a cook with a barely noticeable presence.

There doesn't seem to be much talent in the field of architecture.

"But I just came in, so I guess there are still many people who haven't seen it yet."

After docking, Brandon did not rush to disembark from the spaceship.

According to Thanatos, they were about to head to the north.

"But how are we going to get out of such a big spaceship?"

Brandon knew very little about the Void.

At least in his memory, there was no spaceship that could freely enter and exit the chaotic void.

Even after leaving the void, how to travel safely within the empire's borders remains a problem.

The Titan flagship made quite a commotion; it was impossible for it to go unnoticed.

Unless the starting point is the northern border.

"Could it be that sir can directly open a passage between the void and the Northern Realm?"

Considering Xie Bai's unfathomable strength, Brandon felt there was a sliver of a possibility.

While Brandon was still pondering how to reach the North, Xie Bai had already arrived inside the void.

Xie Bai was stunned for a moment when he saw the suddenly appearing aerial dock.

"Melos, did you build this?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Melos, who was still planning the subsequent construction, turned his head to look.

"So it's you, sir, who's back."

As he spoke, Melos pointed to the black spaceship to the side.

"Ever since I saw this spaceship take off, I realized that this place might need a dock, so I built one modeled after the Empire's docks. It looks pretty impressive, doesn't it?"

Looking at the aerial dock that was large enough to envelop the spaceship, Xie Bai nodded slightly.

"It's well-built, but this area could be expanded further."

Upon hearing Xie Bai's request, Melos sensed something was amiss.

"My lord, I've specifically doubled the size here... isn't that enough?"

"That's probably not enough."

As he spoke, Xie Bai found an open space by the dock.

"This place can be used as a transit point. In the future, many void passages will be concentrated here, and this area is a bit too small."

Upon hearing this, Melos showed a hint of doubt.

"What... a transit station?"

Before Melos could understand what Xie Bai meant, he saw the other party extend his hands.

"Fine, I'll just show it to you directly."

As he spoke, Xie Bai began to manipulate the surrounding space, drawing in a massive void force.

Now that Xie Bai has obtained the Void Godhood, he can no longer be described as being in his element in the Void.

Instead, the entire void was like a basin of water in Xie Bai's hand, which Xie Bai could stir at will.

In no time, a vortex appeared in Xie Bai's hand.

[Void Divine Authority: Full Access]

Please select a destination.

A map unfolded towards Xie Bai.

Based on the map's unlock progress, Xie Bai can currently only choose regions under the Empire's jurisdiction.

Upon spotting a northern outpost on the empire's border, Xie Bai immediately chose this location as his destination.

The next second, the vortex in Xie Bai's hand expanded instantly.

The void energy surrounding the Void Hive also surged in, continuously supplying energy to this vortex.

Upon seeing this, Thanatos, who had been waiting quietly on the spaceship, immediately stood up.

"This is our Lord building a void portal... Judging by this trend, the reconstruction of the void network in the present world is probably just around the corner."

Just as Thanatos was sighing, Streif came up to him.

"It was our lord's doing. By the way, elder brother, how long had you been following our lord before I woke up?"

"About seven days."

"Seven days?"

Streif stared blankly at the enormous vortex in the distance.

"Our lord already took control of the void seven days ago?"

Thanatos shook his head at Streif's question.

"No, when I first met my lord, she had just gained the approval of the Void Poem."

"what?"

Before Streif could even process what seven days meant, a commotion came from afar.

"Buzz—!"

[Void Passage: White Peak]

A massive tunnel with a radius of several thousand meters suddenly appeared in mid-air, immediately alarming all the Voidlings present.

Brandon frowned as he saw the wisps of cold air emanating from the tunnel.

"They actually opened a passage to the North... But the cold air in the North is cursed and will affect the spaceship's operation. Is it alright if we go directly there?"

Thanatos gently shook his head at Brandon's question.

"This level of power is not enough to break through the protection of the void power. Instead of worrying about this, you should be concerned about whether the void power will turn around and erode the cold air."

"Is that so..."

Realizing he had overthought things, Brandon turned his attention back to the operating system.

"By the way, should we set off now, or wait for that person first?"

Thanatos replied to Brandon's question.

"No need, we can go directly there. My lord just sent me a message saying that we should split into two groups. She will deal with the Northern Lord, and we will take over the territory."

Brandon nodded slightly after receiving Thanatos's reply.

"Alright, I'll set off now."

Brandon was not surprised at all by the news that Xie Bai was going to personally deal with the Northern Lord.

In his view, this was even making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, from an efficiency standpoint, it would indeed be much easier for Xie Bai to carry out the decapitation operation.

The only thing to consider is whether they can keep up with Xie Bai's speed.

The next second, the spaceship began to turn and headed into the void tunnel.

Only after watching the massive spaceship depart did Melos recover from the shock of the enormous void passage.

"Holy crap... such a huge spatial passage, and with such incredible stability, wow... this dock really does seem a bit too small."

……

White Peak Leader.

It also serves as the Empire's outpost in the north.

This place was originally the territory of the Lord of White Peak. When the expeditionary force arrived, the Lord of White Peak immediately analyzed the situation and concluded that the empire was not to be trifled with.

Before the expeditionary fleet could even begin its artillery barrage, the Lord of White Peak had already surrendered to the then-General Lyon with his men.

From then on, White Peak Territory became the empire's outpost facing the northern border, while the Lord of White Peak continued to live a comfortable life every day.

He only needs to provide logistical support for the expeditionary fleet heading to the North to maintain control over the territory with the tacit approval of the Empire.

Everything was peaceful and stable, with no major problems.

Until recently, the Lord of White Peak received a major piece of news.

With the death of the original emperor, Artorias, General Lyon seized the opportunity to lead his troops back to the country in an attempt to seize the throne, only to be swiftly defeated by the newly appointed Imperial Sword, which ended the rebellion.

The event was so fast that the Lord of White Peak hadn't even finished considering whether to take the opportunity to bite back before it was over.

Just as the Lord of White Peak was frightened into abandoning his idea by the power of the Empire, another bombshell piece of news followed.

The world's restrictions have loosened, and the shackles of demigods have been broken.

After being suppressed for thousands of years, the Lord of White Peak successfully broke through to demigod status and obtained the Frost Godhood at the demigod stage.

Becoming a demigod means he can ignore the threat of the Imperial fleet and openly break away from the Empire's control.

This should be a logical course of action for the lords of the North.

But in the eyes of the Lord of White Peak, he hesitated.

Firstly, he was used to the life of eating, drinking, and having fun under the empire's jurisdiction.

Secondly, he was unsure whether the newly appointed Imperial Swordsman would also become a demigod.

But the more important reason is his reputation in the North.

Since surrendering to the Empire, he has been ridiculed by the northern lords as a cowardly traitor who fears humans and is not well received at all.

The question is whether to continue enjoying a peaceful life or to fight back some dignity for the lords of the North.

This became a problem that the Lord of White Peak had been considering.

Just as Lord Baifeng was strolling around his manor, one of his subordinates suddenly burst in.

"My lord, I have urgent news to report!"

Seeing the other party's flustered appearance, the Lord of White Peak realized that something was wrong.

"What's making you so agitated? Tell me quickly."

After receiving a reply from the Lord of White Peak, the other party immediately got up from the ground.

"The newly appointed Sword of the Empire personally ordered us to transfer our jurisdiction from the Empire to another person."
