Path of Absolute Transcendence

Kai, an ordinary man, dies due to a mysterious scheme. Instead of entering heaven or hell, his soul finds itself in the VOID, known as the origin of all existence. Later, he is reborn in the Enlightenment World with a fragment of the VOID unknowingly fused into his soul. In this new world, Kai aspires to become a Great Emperor, a title only earned through the BATTLE OF DESTINY. To triumph, he must challenge countless geniuses blessed with special bloodlines and physiques. Born with average talent, his chances of victory seem slim to none. Refusing to accept his fate, Kai resolves to rewrite his destiny, drawing the ire of the heavens and facing three insurmountable trials. Will he survive these heavenly trials? Or will he fail before realizing his dream of becoming an Emperor? And why did a fragment of the VOID fuse with his soul? Is he truly ordinary, or is that merely a facade? --- Additional Tags: Talent, Genius, Behind the Scenes, Manipulation, Ruthless, Evil. Inspired by "The Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor" and "Grand Ancestral Bloodline." Face slapping? No, it's an outdated trope and won't be included. Brainless side characters? They are fully developed individuals with their own thoughts and motivations, so don't expect any one-dimensional characters. Harem? If you're looking for that, this story isn't for you. Repeated storyline? As the author, I aimed to avoid a typical secret realm grinding narrative. I poured all my creativity into crafting a unique and engaging plot (my opinion, but read further to decide). ***The story begins slowly, so please give it a chance. Try reading up to chapter 33 and see if it captures your interest.***
