Rise of a Dungeon Lord

[Judging from the time we wasted just now looking at the earth, I guess we should be completely surrounded by now.]

"Surrounded by what?" Asked Ye Tian

Thankfully, although the system said he was surrounded he couldn't feel or see anything no matter how he looked

Unfortunately, the system's next words told him otherwise

[Host since you know this is the world sea, a place where worlds of all kinds of sizes and strengths come together]

[You should also know that this world sea is also a feeding ground]

Hearing this, Ye Tian found himself shocked

Just what kind of beast would be powerful enough to take the world as their food, just thinking of it gave him a tummy ache

And the system, Reading Ye Tian's thoughts, was speechless.

What kind of host did it have, rather than being scared or warring about his safety,

Its Host was busy getting a tummy ache from imagining the world being eaten as if it was some sort of giant burger.

Shaking its non-existent head, although it wanted to ask its host if its mind was alright, the system still continued explaining the current predicament.

[*Ahem!*]

[Like I said host, the world sea is a hunting ground]

[And the creatures who hunt here are called void beasts]

Saying this, the system made a transparent screen pop up in front of Ye Tian's field of vision.

[ Void beasts: beasts who are said to have existed since the dawn of time. With a shape similar to that of the blue stars giant whale, Void beasts are born averaging a height of a hundred metres and S-class strength

According to legend, the highest void beast discovered is currently a suspected Ex-level with several SSS-level void beasts being discovered regularly.

Thankfully, Void beasts have very poor fertility resulting in a child not being born for several hundreds of millennia.

And even at that, as a loner specie, as soon as the child is born it is thrown in a nearby world sea where there's enough food to eat to fend for itself

Some experts have deduced that there's and many other disadvantages are why void beasts have not eaten up all worlds by now

Void race ranking

#No 9]

Looking at the screen of information, several questions could help but pop up in Ye Tian's mind as he was now confused more than ever

"First of what is the void race ranking"

"And second of all, if a race as powerful as the void beasts can only be ranked ninth, doesn't that mean that the other eight are more dangerous than it?"

Speaking out loud, Ye Tian quickly started bombarding the system with questions.

Luckily although they were surrounded, there didn't seem to be too much danger as the system still answered his question even in the current situation.

[Calm down host, I know that you have a lot of questions you want to ask so let me just quickly explain]

[The void ranking is a list created by Dao ranking each and every race that lives in the void]

[According to your ranking on the list, it is said that the race obtains different benefits such as an increase in overall luck and strength as their ranking increases]

"Bu-!"

[And no, I do not know who or what the Dao is, and also the human race is not on the ranking since no human being had ever stepped into the void and survived much less the whole race.]

[However, according to my speculation, the Dao should be a kind of upgraded version of the way of heaven that banished us from the blue star]

[However this time on the void level]

Cutting off Ye Tian's words, the system continued to explain

[Also, while there are other eight races above the Void beasts, their being stronger is not absolute as the rankings tend to change every one thousand years or so]

[If my guess isn't wrong, the next ranking should be in about one hundred and fifty blue star years from now]

Listening to the system talk, Ye Tian realised there was still a lot more to the void he didn't know

Dao?

Ranking?

Different races?

Each of these things, he could even fathom encountering them back on the blue star, much less before his reincarnation

However, now with the help of the system, he had a chance to experience a peak that many could never experience in their lives.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to begin his adventure

Unfortunately, before that he had to deal with the current situation.

According to the system, he was currently being surrounded by void beasts and judging from what he read just now, even the baby void beasts wouldn't be an easy opponent.

Thinking of this, he could only pin his hopes on the system

"System, what do I do?"

"If I actually am being surrounded, doesn't that mean that I'll soon be eaten?" Asked Ye Tian with a hint of worry in his tone

Unfortunately for him, the system confirmed his words without any hesitation.

[Yes you are, however don't worry.]

[The current situation is due to the aura of the world you're emitting due to merging with the world tree.]

[Now all you've got to do is either remove or seal that aura]

"And how do I do that?" Asked Ye Tian

Listening to the system's words, he could help but feel that its advice was no different from no advice since he didn't know how to do either

Thankfully, it seemed the system had already expected this and quickly explained it.

[Simple, since you obviously just merged with it and it would take a long time to control your aura]

[ Then your only hope is to exhaust the current power of the world you have so as to not gain their attention.]

[Currently, the void beasts around are scouting you since they're not sure if you're a world as a hint of human and dungeon is mixed in that world aura]

[Now, they probably think you're some freakish mutant experiment]
