Awakening of the Mind Sovereign-Chapter 34: The Eastern Continent
Chapter 34: The Eastern Continent
A new notification appeared before Elliot, pulsating with a glowing red light, as if the system itself was warning him of the consequences.
[You possess ten conflicting systems...][Activating fusion may lead to unknown consequences...][Do you wish to proceed?]š¹ [Yes]š¹ [No]
Elliot stared at the message, his eyes wide, his mind racing with countless thoughts.Should he press it? Should he take the risk?
He knew that these systems alone granted him unimaginable power. So what would happen if they were fused? Would he become an invincible being? Or would he destroy himself before he could even find out?
His hands trembled as he raised his finger to choose...
But before he could press it, another notification appeared, this time in a cold blue color:
[Warning!][If you choose fusion, the ability to read minds will be lost permanently!][The ability will be replaced with an unknown skill...][Do you wish to proceed?]
Time seemed to freeze in Elliot's mind.
Mind reading...
This ability was one of his strongest skills. Thanks to it, he could uncover his enemies' lies, predict their movements, and even manipulate situations that seemed impossible to survive.
"Can I really give it up?"
If he did, he would be blind to the intentions of others.
But...
"Fusion might make me stronger than ever before... Do I cling to the past, or do I step into an unknown future?"
He clenched his jaw tightly, his eyes burning with fierce determination.
Then...
He pressed "Yes."

Two months later ā The Eastern Continent
The chime of golden bells echoed across the horizon, announcing an unprecedented celebration.
The sky was adorned with fireworks bursting into mesmerizing colors, transforming the night into a vibrant masterpiece. In the grand squares, people were filled with joy, the sounds of laughter and music resonating in every corner.
"I can't believe we survived that!"
"Who would have thought the war would end this way?"
"The new legend... the hero who changed everything!"
In the streets, children ran around waving flags, vendors handed out sweets for free, and even the veteran warriors who had witnessed the most brutal wars seemed rejuvenated amidst the festive atmosphere.

In the heart of the Eastern Continent, where the towering walls of the Imperial Palace stood as if defying time itself, a secret meeting was taking place within the grand hall.
The golden lights from the chandeliers gleamed over the ebony wood tables, while the flames' colors reflected in the eyes of the men seated around the emperor.
The most influential figuresāministers, generals, and representatives of the great sectsāsat with grim expressions, waiting for the supreme ruler's words.
At the head of the hall sat Emperor Rowan Falkier, a man of commanding presence, his eyes brimming with sharp intelligence, his jewel-encrusted crown glistening under the torchlight.
He raised his hand, and silence filled the hall.
He spoke in a calm voice, yet it carried the weight of absolute authority:
"The time has come for the Eastern Continent's official gathering."
Soft murmurs spread among the attendees.
The official gathering was a legendary event, held once every ten years, where the greatest sects competed, and the most powerful young talents were showcased. But this time, everyone knew something was different.
"Your Majesty..." an elderly advisor spoke, his voice respectful yet cautious, "It has been over two decades since the last time the Eastern Continent participated in full force. Are you certain this is the right time?"
The emperor smiled faintly, looking at him as if he had anticipated the question.
"If not now, then when?" he said, his voice carrying the weight of centuries. "The world is changing, and great powers are moving in the shadows. We must show the world that the Eastern Continent is not a land waiting for its fate but a land that dictates the fate of others."
"And what about the participants?" asked General Kaiden, a pillar of the Imperial Army, a man with a graying beard and a voice like a lion's roar. "Have we confirmed that all major sects will take part?"
A high-ranking official replied, "The Twelve Great Sects have already confirmed their participation. Additionally, there are rising sects eager to prove themselves. This will be the largest gathering of its kind."
The emperor nodded, his eyes narrowing with intrigue.
"Good... Everything is going according to plan."
"And what about the arenas?"
This time, it was Lord Falco who spokeāa thin man with a pale face, responsible for strategic planning.
"Four main arenas have been built, each designated for a specific category of warriors: mages, knights, weapon specialists, and finally, the most brutal of them all... the Arena of Life and Death."
At the mention of the last name, silence fell over the room.
The Arena of Life and Death was not just an ordinary battle but a battlefield where only the victor emerged. And death... was never an unlikely outcome.

"And what about the rewards?"
The emperor lifted his silver goblet, smiling. "We must entice the participants with prizes beyond their expectations."
"We have already arranged for that," one of the ministers said confidently. He then took out a golden scroll and opened it, revealing the list of rewards:
š¹ First place: An ancient imperial weapon, said to be forged from the essence of a fallen star.š¹ Second place: A Dragon Elixir, capable of temporarily doubling one's physical strength.š¹ Third place: A rare technique book, rumored to contain secrets from the age of immortal emperors.
The emperor, however, was not interested in the rewards. He had a greater goal...
He stood, fiddling with his silver ring, and spoke in a low but clear voice:
"But there is one thing you haven't mentioned."
Everyone turned their attention to him.
"There is a certain individual we must watch during this gathering... Someone who may change everything."
