Chapter 6: The Opening of the Shop
Loras, basking in the glow of his recent breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm, decided it was time to explore the system's most anticipated feature. He sat cross-legged in his chamber, his crimson eyes gleaming as he commanded:
"The Shop."
An ethereal display materialized before him, divided into categories that stretched endlessly into the void.

The next morning, Alari Doom, his mother, entered his chamber with a composed expression. Her voice carried a regal tone:
"Loras, it's time to meet the elders. Your father is waiting.
Loras's eyes glowed faintly as he activated his Devil God Eyes, revealing her status:
Name: Imperial Princess Alari Doom
Age: 1,302 Years
Real Cultivation: Great Emperor Immortal (20th Level – late/advanced Stage)
Combat Strength: Early Great Emperor Immortal
Loras think in his mind "weak so weak For my mother, for an imperial princess, for the lady of the doom family. How much resources did you use?"
System answers Resources Used:
Imperial Family Inheritance: 200 divine-grade treasures.
Doom Clan Resources: Equivalent to five immortal worlds' Qi reserves.
Loras's lip curled in disgust. "With all the resources she's drained, this is her limit? A disgrace to both her bloodlines."
Alari, unaware of his thoughts, reached out to take his hand, but Loras brushed past her. "Lead the way," he said coldly.

The Senate Hall
The Senate Hall was a masterpiece of ancient architecture, radiating void energy. Massive doors, etched with chaotic patterns and inlaid with precious void stones, loomed before them.
As the doors opened, a vast chamber came into view, designed to emphasize both authority and history:
The Ceiling: A mosaic of swirling void energy, reflecting the Doom Clan's control over chaos.
The Walls: Carved with depictions of the clan's greatest achievements, from the conquering of immortal realms to battles against the Imperial Family.
The Throne: At the highest point of the chamber sat Gung Doom's throne, pulsing with concentrated void energy.
Guards stationed by the doors bowed deeply.
"Lady Alari."
"Young Master Loras."
Loras activated his Devil God Eyes to inspect them:
Guard 1: True God (22nd Level – Mid).
Guard 2: True God (22nd Level – Late).
"Even our guards are leagues beyond what other clans can offer," he mused.
Inside, the room was arranged to display hierarchy:
1. The Family Head's Throne: A colossal chair brimming with void energy. Gung Doom sat with an imposing presence.
Name: Gung Doom
Age: 1,550 Years
Real Cultivation: Golden God (24th Level – Peak)
Combat Strength: Comparable to Early Earth God
2. The Grand Elder's Seat: Positioned just below the throne, where the Grand Elder observed with a piercing gaze.
Name: Elder Xuanyi
Age: 3,000 Years
Real Cultivation: Earth God (25th Level – Peak)
Combat Strength: Early Heaven God
3. The Elders' Platforms:
Five elders at Earth God level.
Seven elders at Golden God level.
Nine elders at Silver God level.
Loras stepped forward, his crimson eyes sweeping over the room. Beneath the polite smiles of the elders, he saw envy, disdain, and thinly veiled hatred.
"This isn't a celebration—it's a battlefield," he thought, his smirk hidden beneath his composed facade.

Loras's Observations
As the elders scrutinized him, Loras inwardly marveled at the clan's might. "This family rules 19 Immortal Realms for a reason. Even the Imperial Family pales in comparison."
However, his ambition burned brighter than his respect. "With such a foundation, I will ascend beyond the heavens themselves. But first, I must destroy those who stand in my way."
The Grand Elder's voice rang out:
"Loras Doom, you have been summoned to assess your potential. Step forward."
Loras obeyed, meeting the Grand Elder's gaze. This was only the beginning of his conquest.
