<strong><b>Chapter 99: Aspire to Dream Big!</b></strong>


    “The Scales Pce Arcana, we have it now.” Qin Ming’s eyes grew even deeper as he held a seal in his hand, exuding a profoundly mysterious and terrifying aura, with immense power radiating from within it.


    On its surface, intricate engravings depicted the Scales constetion.


    Qin Xian took the Scales Pce Arcana, instinctively shifting into his Void Overlord form. The terrifying energy of the void began to erode the seal. As the Scales Pce Arcana was gradually consumed by the void’s energy, Qin Xian’s presence intensified.


    Though his level and attribute points hadn’t changed, he now emanated an even more fearsome presence—a destructive aura that spoke ofplete annihtion.@@novelbin@@


    Although Qin Xian was a Void Overlord, this moment transcended that power level, transforming him into something more terrifying—as if he were bing the deity of all Void Overlords.


    Watching his son’s growing might, Qin Ming’s face broke into a satisfied smile. “We now have six of the Arcane Sources of the Twelve Primordials: Scales Pce, the Demon Lion Pce, Serpent Pce, White Tiger Pce, Jade Phoenix Pce, and Archer Pce.”


    “With these, you can undergo another evolution, reaching beyond the power of a Void Overlord. When we finally collect all twelve, you will not only be the god of the void but will have the Arcane Source to corrupt and seize the control of the Divine Revtion Monolith itself, making you the master of Heaven’s Will! The universe itself will be ours!”


    A burning ambition filled Qin Ming’s gaze as he looked at his son. Most people believed Qin Xian’s mother was some fortunate woman of noble descent, but the reality was far stranger.


    Qin Xian’s mother was the Empress of the Void’s First Court—the Void Empress herself, known to humans as their most dangerous foe.


    The Qin family and the Void’s First Court were not merely in contact; they were united, with Qin Xian as their ultimate creation, the one who carried both primordial and void bloodlines.


    Despite the absence of any romantic bond between Qin Ming and the Void Empress, they each poured their full ambitions and expectations into this son. Qin Xian was essential to both the Qin family and the Void’s First Court.


    Over the years, the Qin family had secretly collected these Arcane Sources, eradicating families and lives to feed Qin Xian’s evolution. This quest to gather all twelve would allow him to ascend beyond the Void Overlord and breach the limits of mortality itself.


    Qin Xian stored the Scales Pce Arcana away, feeling a renewed hunger. The act of absorbing the arcane essence from these artifacts gave him an unparalleled sense of thrill—an allure even greater than consuming the essence of entire worlds.


    Contrary to public belief that the Qin family held only two arcane seals, the family’s true collection had now reached six. They had indeed left trails of destruction in their pursuit.


    With a somber expression, Qin Ming dered, “Ten years! We must gather the remaining arcane seals within the next decade!”


    His eyes took on a distant look, turning towards the heavens. “Heaven’s Will has started to sense my true power. I have, at most, ten years before receiving the ‘invitation’ to ascend as a deity in the Divine Realm.”


    When he spoke of an “invitation,” a trace of mockery appeared on Qin Ming’s face.


    —


    Meanwhile, in Jiangnan Province, Jiangzhou City…


    As head of the provincial Security Committee, Wang Minghui held a powerful position in the province.


    His residence was in a prestigious, wealthy neighborhood, reserved for the elite. Returning home that day, Wang was in an exceptionally good mood.


    His wife, Sun Yao, hailed from a venerable local family, the Sun n, and although she was over forty, her beauty and elegance were well maintained. It was her family, particrly her father, who had supported Wang’s political journey to be head of the Security Committee.


    When she saw her husband’s joy, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s happened? Weren’t you dealing with that issue with the Academics Institute?”


    “It’s all sorted!” he replied, beaming.


    “And you’re this pleased about it? Don’t tell me you actually got in good with the Academics Institute?”


    “Academics Institute? Bah, they’re nothingpared to what I’ve gained today!” Rxed now that he was home, Wang Minghui burst intoughter. “I met Young Master Qin! From now on, I’m one of his people!”


    “Young Master Qin? Which one?” Sun Yao looked at him, puzzled.


    Wang Minghui gave her a knowing look, lifting his finger to point upward. Sun Yao’s eyes widened in realization, her shock palpable. “The one?!”


    Wang Minghui nodded with a satisfied smile. “Yes. Young Master Qin has arranged for me to transfer to the capital. I’ll be the Chief Supervisory Officer for the Second Department of the Oversight Ministry.”


    The name Young Master Qin and the position of Chief Supervisory Officer for the Second Department echoed in Sun Yao’s mind like an explosion.


    As someone from an old family, she understood exactly what such a position represented. Her husband had effectively ascended to an entirely new league.


    That night, Sun Yao’s father, Old Master Sun, led the entire family to Wang Minghui’s residence. The retired elder, normally soposed, now greeted Wang Minghui with unparalleled warmth. “Good son-inw,” he called him, his tone filled with genuine respect.


    Other rtives nodded in agreement, their nces towards Wang filled with admiration.


    Wang Minghui felt both sentimental and exhrated by the shift. While the Sun family had always treated him politely as he climbed the ranks, he had always sensed a lingering condescension.


    But now, the entire family treated him as though he were a benefactor they couldn’t afford to offend. And he knew the reason for this change of heart—he was now affiliated with the Qin family.


    Determined, Wang Minghui made a silent vow to himself. He would serve Young Master Qin with unwavering loyalty. Then a thought crossed his mind, and he chuckled. His daughter, after all, was close in age to Young Master Qin and had inherited her mother’s beauty…


    It was a fanciful notion, he knew, but what harm was there in dreaming? As they say, one must dare to dream big in life.
