He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 575. I recently broke through

Kailen reappeared in his villa again.

"In the real world I’ve been away for just a couple of weeks. But, I’ve literally been holed up in a shithole simulation for several years," Kailen thought.

"So nothing important happened huh," Kailen nodded after hearing the words of the shadow creatures he left behind to handle any emergency in his absence.

"Now that I’m a universe level lifeform, I suppose my position as an arbiter has come to an end. However there’s no need to announce it. I should head to the secondary Carrier alliance branch here and register myself as a rank 7 runesmith and alchemist."

Kailen melded into the void.

****

Mid tier civilisation HQ of universe alliance.

Secondary Carrier Alliance sector.

Runesmith Association.

In a lounge, several secondary Carrier professionals were having mundane discussions as some electric pop music was playing in the background.

"Did you hear, the seventh arbiter just ended the altercation between the Raty Chamber of Commerce and the Bravo Chamber of Commerce with just a statement?"

"Yeah, so domineering. He didn’t even need to make an appearance."

"Those two chamber of Commerce have been left unchecked for a very long time. Their altercation literally threatened to destroy several star systems."

"Yeah, usually arbiters don’t interrupt petty squabbles between factions but, for their altercation to grow to this level, it was only natural for an arbiter to step in."

"I am curious about the statement of the seventh arbiter that halted their altercation though."

"Heh, according to sources this was it... Keep fooling."

"That was it?"

"Yeah, that’s all he sent. Then the conflict ceased. The two chambers of commerce didn’t dare continue their battles."

"Arbiters are really something else."

"Yeah, speaking of Arbiters, it seems the Void arbiter has been keeping a low profile after his shocking display of might at the Frontlines of the Eldlath Empire."

"Well, arbiters rarely make appearances after all. So it’s only natural."

"That’s true."

At this moment, a tall, lean, handsome athletic figure clad in a long coat suddenly materialised in the hall.

Pale white skin.

Inky dark hair like the endless void. Extremely profound eyes.

Several who stared into his eyes felt like they were staring into the endless expanse of the universe.

He has this air about him. His presence made one feel like he was the void himself, and the void was him. He looked extremely dignified.

"We greet the void arbiter."

Everyone in the hall paid their respects to him at the same time, one knee.

This was the tenth arbiter, the void arbiter, Kailen Darkhaven. He was a living legend, a myth.

The fellows who had been discussing the arbiters were thanking their ancestors for not saying anything out of line about him else, they would not have even known how they would have died.

"No need for pleasantries," the void arbiter spoke.

After his words, everyone stood. Each gave him reverential, fearful and fanatic gazes.

By this time, all the powerhouses of the secondary Carrier alliance HQ of the mid tier Civilisations, from all professions, had arrived at the runesmith association on getting news that the tenth arbiter had arrived.

The crowd was shocked. Each one of these people were powerhouses in the secondary Carrier alliance whose decisions influenced the secondary Carrier alliance branches all across mid tier and low tier Civilisations. They were all unrivaled in their professions below rank 7 secondary Carrier professionals.

Yet, they were standing before the tenth arbiter like obedient lambs.

Of course, on second thought, they realised it was naturally meant to happen this way. This was an arbiter before them. Even these old monsters had to show their respect.

The leader of the Runesmith Association asked, cutting straight to the point in a respectful and subservient manner.

"Your Excellency, what can your humble servants do for you?"

Kailen said, "I’m here to take the rank 7 runesmith test."

"So that’s what it is. Your Excellency is here to..." However, the woman stopped mid sentence.

She was not the only one. Everyone in the hall, who thought they had understood his statement, repeated it in their heads again.

Then...

Booooommmm.

Shock spread on faces.

Their eyes widened. How was this possible?

The leader of the Runesmith association staggered. Her hands were shaky. The expression on her face was equally shared by the others.

Rank 7 runesmith test. It could only be taken by those with spiritual power at the beginner stage universe level... Did they hear the arbiter correctly?

"Your Excellency, does that mean... you are now at the universe level?" She asked a question everyone was eager to hear the answer to, but was afraid they’d be too shocked to handle.

Usually, it would be too absurd to ask someone who recently broke into the supreme stage dao level this kind of question. The universe level was not a level even geniuses of an era could just bulldoze their way through. It took decades, centuries even to get there.

Some awakeners even never achieved a consummate law state. Therefore, they remained at the Dao level forever.

But she had no choice but to ask. After what she had just heard... Even if he was an arbiter, even if he was a genius of an era, something like this was not possible. Did he not only break into the Dao level recently?

But why would an arbiter joke about something like this? To show off? No. Such an act was beneath them.

So, could it be that they had actually heard him right?

His words actually meant that he had broken into the universe level?

Just when he recently broke into the Dao level?

This... how?

That he was really...

How was this possible?

No... this was a dream right?

Yeah... definitely... 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

As these thoughts flashed through several minds, that of the higher ups of the secondary Carrier alliance HQ included, who could not be blamed for having a hard time accepting reality,

Kailen casually replied, "Yes. I broke through recently."
