Harvey flew all the way back to his luxurious New York estate with the money, placed it in the basement, changed clothes, and directly summoned the system.

He then saw that the system, which had previously only contained Hero Templates, now had two functions he had never seen before.

One was Hero Ascension, and the other was Hero Origin.

Harvey clicked into Hero Origin and found that it contained only the silhouette of Voidreaver Kha'Zix.

Besides that, there were several Voidreaver Kha'Zix forms with entirely different appearances.

Sands Guardian Voidreaver: Upon obtaining it, you will gain the ability to transform into sand, making you even harder to detect when hidden in your true form. Exchange requirements unknown.

Death Blossom Voidreaver: Upon obtaining it, you will evolve the ability to mimic plants, allowing your true form to appear as beautiful and harmless as a plant. Exchange requirements unknown.

Mecha Alien Voidreaver: Upon obtaining it, you will evolve the special ability of mechanization, allowing you to directly transmit your consciousness into various machines and control them. Exchange requirement: 100 million Void Energy.

Odyssey Voidreaver: Upon obtaining it, you will evolve Arcane Energy. Explore the mysteries of all things. Exchange requirements unknown.

Dark Star Voidreaver: Upon obtaining it, you will evolve Dark Star Power. Master this power and become the ruler of the universe. Exchange requirements unknown.

Harvey knew that although these were merely skins in League of Legends, they seemed to have changed within the system.

The only one available for exchange required one hundred million energy, which looked incredibly daunting.

However, since the acquisition requirements and difficulty were still unclear, Harvey did not immediately conclude that it was impossible to obtain.

Harvey then checked the Ascension function and found that it required the Source of Evolution in exchange for one chance at Hero Ascension.

The method of obtaining the Source of Evolution was also clearly noted: one Source of Evolution could be obtained for every thousand evolutions.

Harvey had only evolved a little over two hundred times so far, still far from the thousand evolutions needed for Hero Ascension, so he did not concern himself with it for now.

The host has successfully claimed ownership. The mission Summons of the Void has been issued. Regardless of the method, find a way to spread the will of the Void, allowing more living beings to learn of the Void and join it. The stronger a creature's fate and strength, the more Void Energy its faith in the Void will provide to the host.

Seeing that Harvey wanted to unlock subsequent Hero Templates, the system began explaining.

"What are the criteria for determining fate?"

Harvey asked thoughtfully as he listened to the system.

However, the system did not answer his question, as though it had fallen silent.

If the system could communicate, he would not have only formally claimed ownership of it today.

This was not the first time, so although Harvey felt somewhat helpless, he could only think it over in private.

Still, these two things were not particularly difficult to understand. Harvey had only asked casually.

Strength was easy enough to understand. Just by looking at a creature's life energy, Harvey could discern some clues.

As for powerful fate, it most likely referred to the more famous heroes of the Marvel universe.

If strength alone were the standard, Tony Stark's original body definitely could not be considered powerful.

Perhaps that was why the additional criterion of fate existed.

Harvey had previously not intended to become too deeply involved with Tony Stark.

Because that might cause the various futures he knew to undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, Harvey now felt that after Tony Stark became Iron Man, it would be necessary for him to have a talk with Tony Stark.

When it came to fate, Tony Stark could be said to possess an exceptionally powerful one in the Marvel World, influencing the destinies of many events.

If his guess was correct, making Tony Stark believe in the Void and join it should bring him a massive amount of Void Energy.

However, if he wanted to spread the will of the Void, Harvey felt that he needed to change how he acted.

He needed to step outside and face the outside world to spread the will of the Void, and to do that, he needed an identity that countless people would trust.

Founding a school and becoming its principal would be one way to spread the will of the Void among ordinary people.

However, starting one now also had certain drawbacks. Once the will of the Void spread, America's FBI might treat it as a cult.

But honestly, being treated as a cult by the FBI was not much of a problem. Harvey was not worried that the FBI could pose any threat to him.

What Harvey worried about was attracting the attention of Ancient One or even Odin.

Although the Marvel World had not yet reached the point where countless people understood this, the gods of Asgard spoken of by humans were already observing the conditions of various realms.

If he caused too great a commotion, he might draw the gods of Asgard ahead of time. Odin might even come down personally to find him.

On top of that, he still did not know whether those who believed in the Void would gain any strange powers.

If they did, then leaving aside the possibility of people relying on the Void's power to act recklessly everywhere, the more important issue was that it would involve the realm of magic.

That made it highly likely that he would attract the attention of Ancient One, Sorcerer Supreme, who oversaw matters involving magic.

With his current strength, Harvey was confident that by merging into the Void, he could protect himself and retreat when facing Odin and Ancient One, but he was not certain he could defeat them.

Once things fell apart, Ancient One and Odin would cause him a great deal of trouble. Spreading the will of the Void would become difficult, and he would have to hide everywhere.

Only after evolving to the point where he could directly confront Ancient One or Odin would he be able to act freely.

Therefore, Harvey directly shelved the idea of founding a school, recruiting students on a large scale, and spreading the will of the Void among them.

Moreover, the system had said that attracting creatures with great strength or powerful fate could yield more Void Energy.

Having thought that far, Harvey had formed a few guiding principles. This was only the beginning.

He just needed to act discreetly and draw a few people to his side.

As for spreading it on a large scale and wildly earning Void Energy, it should be much easier once he went into the universe and casually established a Void Cult.

And if he wanted to enter the universe, the best time would be after he acquired the Hero Template of Void Walker Kassadin and could freely travel between Earth and other planets in the universe.

To be honest, Harvey was not in a hurry at all. He had a long lifespan.

If he remained cautious upon cautious, it would not be impossible to wait until Odin and Ancient One died before officially beginning his plans.

After all, Odin and Ancient One did not have many years left to live.

Of course, the best outcome would be to bring Ancient One and Odin into believing in the Void as well, but Harvey knew after thinking about it that accomplishing that would be extraordinarily difficult.

Ancient One was waiting for Doctor Strange, the disciple who would inherit her legacy, to grow up. She would then prove her resolve through death, allowing Doctor Strange to firm up his path and take over the position of Sorcerer Supreme.

As for Odin, he was the God King who had spent countless years conquering the universe and defeating innumerable powerful enemies.

Odin's pride was surely beyond that of ordinary people. It would already be fortunate if he did not demand that Harvey believe in Asgard.

If Odin and Ancient One were not going to die so soon, and Harvey could evolve a thousand or even several thousand more times,

Harvey was confident that he could make Odin and Ancient One submit to his power and ultimately worship and believe in the Void.

Unfortunately, neither Ancient One nor Odin had many years left to live.
