The Innkeeper

Chapter 1917 New race

All the monsters that were under Vinei's command were becoming Heaven Immortals. Millions and millions of them, each one nurturing their strength since time unknown. In fact, Vinei himself was undergoing a tribulation, although his was a little different.

He was not undergoing a tribulation to become a Heaven Immortal. Rather, he was bearing the universe's punishment for forsaking his role as a Deity!

Just like when diviners and oracles, who foresaw a future that they should not have seen or revealed, were punished through a tribulation, many others who earned the ire of the universe suffered as well. Using his divine fire to baptise his physical body to build himself the ultimate foundation for when he gave up divinity gave him a huge advantage. In fact, his entire journey to the very peak of the Celestial realm would be a piece of cake after this. But he also provoked the universe through his actions, and thus he earned a tribulation.

Moreover, the hold he had over monsters was broken. Through loyalty, or respect, or maybe even habit, he might still be able to control monsters. But no longer would his hold be absolute!

A new race, a race born merely through Vinei's obsession and manipulation of the Crystal realms laws, had been unleashed onto the universe, freed from the chains that originally bound their race from spreading. Henceforth, anywhere in the universe where shadow or darkness could be found, there was a chance for a monster to be born.
