The endless black void pulsed with ancient, decaying energy.
Feng's soul form stared at the colossal presence before him. Suddenly, he noticed the Ancient Evil God's left hand beginning to decay — black particles flaking off like ash, slowly dissolving into the void.
"What is happening to your hand?" Feng asked, voice steady despite the sight.
The Ancient Evil God's voice echoed with a faint weariness that had not been there before.
"My time is running out. The seal my father placed on me has been draining my life force for eons. I am about to die. Hurry up and think carefully whether you wish to accept my power or not."
Feng did not hesitate for long. His voice was firm, filled with cold resolve.
"If it can help me achieve my revenge… I will accept."
The Ancient Evil God seemed to smile — a vast, formless expression of satisfaction.
"Then receive it all."
A torrent of pure, overwhelming power surged into Feng's soul.
Entity-level knowledge, forbidden skills, ancient techniques, and raw, limitless strength flooded into him. Every secret the Evil God had accumulated over countless ages poured into his being — the ability to defy divine order, to grow without limit from rejection, to wield darkness that could challenge even the Goddess of Light.
The moment the transfer began, the entire Celestial Realms shook violently.
In the heavens, the gods and goddesses felt the disturbance. Alarms rang through divine palaces. Panic spread.
"Something is wrong with the seal!"
"The Evil God's prison is destabilizing!"
"Hurry! We must return to the seal immediately!"
Many gods rushed toward the location of the ancient void prison, fear and urgency in their divine voices.
Back in the void, the transfer continued. Feng's soul was consumed by waves of pure darkness. It entered every part of his being, reshaping him from the inside out.
When the last fragment of power finally settled inside him, Feng looked up.
The Ancient Evil God's left hand had completely vanished. The decay was now climbing slowly up his arm, turning it into black ash that scattered into the void.
Feng bowed deeply, his soul form radiating a new, terrifying presence.
"Thank you."
The Ancient Evil God's voice was faint but satisfied, already fading as more of his form decayed.
"Go… take your revenge… and perhaps… one day… surpass even me…"
His presence began to dissolve completely into the endless darkness.
