The First Glimmer of Tenacity

1/11/2026

"The Awakened Beasts Race is pleading for mercy?"

Inside the flyer, Andrew Han's expression shifted as he lowered his head to stare at the Star-Gate communicator.

The inner walls were adorned like colored glass.

Brilliant scenery illuminated Andrew's face, refracting an extraordinary array of colors, as if he were carved from crystal jade.

"The Awakened Beasts Race..."

Andrew watched the communicator screen flicker, messages flashing past his eyes.

It was utterly silent.

He sat at the edge of the sofa; beside him, path-protector Lu Yang meditated with closed eyes, while all members of the Eternal-King Guard Corps sat cross-legged around the inner walls, tending to their injuries.

"Sigh."

Andrew sighed inwardly.

"I will."

"Why wouldn’t I?" Floating in the shallow-red void, his eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty resolve: "Even if there’s no return, I’ll storm their gates myself!"

——

The same logic applies.

Eternal Kings are no exception.

At the Supreme battle power level, every Supreme is an Eternal King by origin—what matters then is only their foundation and type of Origin Talent.

The Supreme is too distant.

Now I am Fifth-Stage Void Rift." Andrew Han clenched his fists, feeling his own power: "My battle strength is about equal to a Fifth Integration Cosmos Union—considered top-tier among Cosmos Union beings."

That’s just battle power.

The realm of life evolution is the true foundation of everything.

A new-generation Eternal King, huh.

Andrew Han squeezed the sofa’s velvet and shook his head.

Remember, all Eternal Kings labeled as new-generation are still in their growth phase.

If they haven’t matured enough to face the Darkest Starspace alone, they’re new-generation. The standard is realm: once Andrew Han reaches Fifth Integration Cosmos Union, he’ll shed the new-generation label.

Just then.

A pain at the center of his brow.

"This is..."

Andrew Han abruptly stood, his black-and-white eyes filling with gold and crimson, as his Void Rift-tier soul essence slowly rose behind him.

He heard it.

It was his Tenacity Origin Talent whispering.

"The wound..."

Andrew Han thoughtfully touched his brow, feeling the lingering blade wound, imbued with Dao force—hard to heal, yet no match for Tenacity’s surge.

The blade wound at Andrew Han’s brow was nearly impossible to heal unaided; that’s why Lu Yang had offered to help.

But now, the lingering power of Kechron of the Quibeasts was gradually erased by Andrew Han, until nothing remained.

It was clear to see.

The crystalline wound at his brow slowly faded.

Beyond that, a miraculous phenomenon appeared—as if an endless sea of stars rippled with billions of waves around Andrew Han.

"That is..."

Lu Yang, the protector, looked shocked and snapped his eyes open.

"What is that..."

All members of the Eternal-King Guard Corps couldn’t help but stand, turning to see Andrew Han’s brow blazing with endless gold and crimson.

Just then.

Bzzz.

The vessel began to vibrate slightly.

"We’ve arrived."

“Back to Archaic Hall, back to the Spark-Heritage Zone.” Andrew Han gazed at the transmission facility outside the vessel, vaguely understanding the key to Tenacity Origin Talent: perhaps its ultimate evolution is immunity to all negative factors!

Archaic Hall.

Entrance to the Spark-Heritage Zone.

"Andrew Han."

A vast face manifested, impossibly lofty—the Spark-Heritage Ultimate Core, ruling the zone.

With Supreme battle power, the Spark-Heritage Zone had surpassed mere intelligence; it was indistinguishable from the Star-Sky Humans… The Ultimate Core’s face gazed at Andrew Han, his white hair streaming, rumbling like a divine voice: "Andrew Han, you understand the dangers new-generation Eternal Kings face outside. Do you still wish to go to the Light Clan?"

Andrew Han lifted his head and smiled.

The Spark-Heritage Zone’s Void Gate stood in the distance; Lu Yang waited outside, lacking entry privileges.

"I will."

"Why wouldn’t I?" Floating in the shallow-red void, his eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty resolve: "Even if there’s no return, I’ll storm their gates myself!"
