The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

"What is happening, why is the statue shaking?" In the outside world, where the elders stood in wait for the disciples to come out from the blood forest, the colossal statue wielding the sword started to shake.@@novelbin@@

As it shook, it started emitting a faint glow that looked arcane at first glance. Suddenly, a powerful presence descended from the heavens, making everyone, including the King, kneel.

A light burst out from the eyes of the statue and a projection of a white bearded old man appeared. Immediately he appeared, the pressure stopped making everyone sigh. However, when they saw the person appear, their hearts shook,

"Ancestor Emperor" The King shouted looking at the old man.

"What a pity, is this how my empire has fallen" The person spoke, looking at the King and the elders looking up with eyes full of worship. Only a few who aren't aware of who he is held a neutral gaze.

"At least, a good seed has been born. If all things go well, he can lead my Empire back to its previous glory," the Old Man said to himself. He turned and looked at the tablet with the disciples' names and points on it.

"That young man must not be restricted" The man said those words and then faded away leaving behind awed individuals that don't know how to process his words.

As the projection of the Ancestor Emperor faded away, the sect leaders and elders remained kneeling, their minds racing with the implications of his words.

This was the projection of the Emperor of the then Central Human Empire, an existence that carved his land and ruled it many years ago. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

He was a very powerful individual who managed to set up an empire and no other power was able to shake his rule.

In his heydays, the central continent was known Central Empire or the Second Human Empire, not paling in comparison to the original Human Empire.

Sadly, many years ago, he vanished and never returned.

About 100,000 years ago, the central continent was then split into three forming three kingdoms instead. It has long since declined and now, not even the Human Empire acknowledges them. They've fallen to the deepest low.

"That young man must not be restricted..." Sect Leader Orion of the Golden Phoenix Sect was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling. "Could he be referring to one of our disciples?"

Sect Leader Jorin of the Silver Moon Sect rose to his feet, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

"It must be Karsha," he said, almost to himself.

"Just look at the Ranking Tablets, his points have crossed the billions that even the tablet couldn't handle anymore. Aside from him, who else could invoke the Ancestor's presence"

"But what does it mean when he said we shouldn't restrict him? Does he want us to let him roam free and do whatever he wants?" Sect Leader Hana of the Crimson Lotus Sect asked, a hint of confusion in her voice. "Surely, that's not what he meant, right?"

Hearing her question, everyone turned to look at the King. He was the one person who might be able to interpret the Ancestor Emperor's words. If Karsha wasn't to be restricted, did that mean he should be given free rein instead?

"I am as lost as you all. His words are too profound for someone like me to understand," the King admitted, shocking everyone. If the King didn't know what to do, then how would they handle this? They all fell into brief contemplation, pondering the Ancestor Emperor's enigmatic message.

"It's very simple, actually. What the Emperor meant was that Karsha shouldn't be pampered," Yi Ran spoke from behind, making everyone, including the King, turn toward her.

"I know most of you are already making plans to curry favor with him. Doing that would be a way of trying to control him. But as you can see, he's not someone who can be controlled. So instead of showering him with gifts, just let him be," she continued, her voice calm and authoritative.

"This also means that until he asks for help, he must be treated like every other disciple. He can't be given special treatment, nor can he be protected from the shadows.

If he has enemies, he will have to deal with them himself. The direction his life takes cannot be hindered. Doing so will invoke Karma, and I think you all know how dangerous that is," she concluded, her words carrying the weight of wisdom.

The leaders and elders exchanged thoughtful glances, each processing Yi Ran's interpretation. Sect Leader Hana nodded slowly.

"It makes sense. We must respect his journey and not interfere. How can we be blind to think we can forge his destiny for him"

Sect Leader Leon added, "It will be difficult to hold back, but it's necessary. Karsha's strength must come from within, not from our aid." Despite his words, he was one of the sect leaders eager to curry favor with Karsha.

A Mid-stage Great Sage nearing the late stage, Leon saw an opportunity to align with Karsha. Perhaps by earning Karsha's favor, he could gain some high-quality cores from him.

As Karsha's points skyrocketed into the billions, they noticed he was killing Tier 9 monsters. Leon and others like him saw this as a chance to advance their own cultivation.

Relying on Tier 8 cores was no longer sufficient for their progress. But now hearing the words of the immortal fairy, they knew their doors had closed.

Sect Leader Jorin smiled wryly.

"It seems we have our answer then. We must support him without suffocating him." He doesn't know why, but he liked this outcome.

He is a powerful mage, but also a great Alchemist, so someone like him has a great chance to catch Karsha's gaze. But aside from that, he knew he wouldn't have to suck up to him, at least not in the way the other elders are planning to.

His disciples for some reason have shot up from the 19th to the 7th and have already amassed millions of points.

This can only mean one thing, she has a chance upon a fortune and as her Master, he knew he would be at the receiving end of the goods she would be bringing.

Even Elder Kwan, usually skeptical, had to agree.

"We should observe from a distance and be ready if he truly needs us, but otherwise, let him grow on his own." He didn't like the arrangement at all.

He was one of the few sect leaders contracted by the Great Families in Oakwood City to dispose of Karsha. They had hoped to get close to him to carry out their plans, but with the current turn of events, they would have to rethink their strategy.

The King, taking in all the perspectives, finally spoke.

"Sect Leader Yi Ran's words have clarified our path. We will watch over Karsha, but we will not coddle him. His destiny is his own to forge." Hearing the King accept Yi Ran's interpretation, the sect leaders nodded, though some had shifting expressions.

At the back, Assistant Sect Leader Xu whispered to the elders from the Sunlight Sword Sect,

"This time, our sect has struck great fortune. It's just too bad we won't be able to reward him with anything tangible." The other sect elders nodded in agreement.

They were too poor to offer Karsha anything significant. It was Karsha who had plans to help the sect obtain some Tier 20 skill books for their treasury.

Elder Chen, with a concerned look, spoke. "Karsha has done so much for us already. It's frustrating that we can't provide him with the support he truly deserves."

Elder Lin nodded. "Indeed. The best we can offer are our teachings and guidance. But with the directive to treat him like any other disciple, even that is limited."

Elder Ben, always the optimist and the Quiet one, added, "But maybe this is for the best. If we treat him like everyone else, he'll continue to grow strong on his own merits. We can still be there for him, even if it's not in the way we originally planned."

"I suppose you're right, Ben. But it's hard not to feel guilty. Karsha's potential is extraordinary. We should be doing more." Assistant Sect Leader Xu sighed.

Sect Leader Yi Ran, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke.

"We must have faith in Karsha. His journey is unique, and he has the strength to navigate it. Our role is to provide a stable foundation for him, even if we can't give him the tangible rewards we wish we could."

"And we must be vigilant. While we respect the Ancestor Emperor's wishes, we should also be prepared for any threats that may come Karsha's way. We may not be able to protect him openly, but we can ensure the path he walks is as safe as possible." Elder Chen added,

Elder Lin agreed. "Yes, our discreet support can still make a difference. Let's focus on strengthening the sect overall. A strong sect will naturally be a strong support for him."

Elder Ben smiled. "And who knows? Maybe Karsha's success will bring fortune to all of us. He's already shown a willingness to help the sect. His rise could benefit everyone. Even look, aside from him, there are already five individuals showing great prowess"

Assistant Sect Leader Xu, feeling a bit reassured, nodded. "We'll continue to work hard for the sect's future. And when the time comes, we'll be ready to support Karsha in any way we can."

Sect Leader Yi Ran concluded, "Let's stay united in this. Karsha's journey is his own, but we are his family here. Our strength and unity will be his quiet support."

The elders nodded in agreement, a sense of resolve settling among them. Although they don't have much, they can still provide him with a family.

Shit, they've already provided him with enough. Having the Sect Leader all to himself is more than enough for a single man, yet he still made the other four Fairies his own. That is more than enough a sect can offer...Hehe
