The Universe Immortal Clan originated from a very special upper realm known simply as {The Observatory}. This upper realm is special due to a number of reasons.

One of these reasons is that compared to other upper realms in the boundless universe, the size of the observatory is unbelievably small.

The various realms in the universe are like small pocket universes themselves that are scattered throughout the main universe. These small pocket universes, otherwise known as realms, contain everything that the main universe has, with only a few differences. These differences are mainly in the predominant elements of law that make up the realm.

Most of the time, the thing that differentiates one realm from another is exactly the kind of law element that is predominant in that realm. It could be that it is the law element of fire that takes precedence. In such a realm, there would be many natural beings and treasures that are born with a great affinity to the element of fire. As for what determines and separates the upper realms and the lower realms from each other, that in itself is a whole other matter entirely and will not be discussed at this time.

Generally, the size and scale of a realm are very large, almost to the extent that the inhabitants born in that realm would not be able to completely explore it completely. Also, the higher the realm is the larger it usually is, although this was not always the case as some lower realms are known to be much larger than some upper realms. Still, compared to other upper realms, the observatory was really too small.

The observatory was roughly about as large as the solar system in the milky way galaxy is which in terms of the sizes of upper realms go is really too small. Still, apart from this, another special aspect of the observatory is that all the law elements that make up the structure of the entire realm and breathe life into it were unusually stable without one being greater or more powerful than the other. This has created a situation where there is boundless vitality and energy in the observatory that was more than what other upper realms possess.

It is said that the secret to the eternal life of the Universe Immortal Clan is linked to the vitality of the entire observatory.

The lighthouse was located at the center of the observatory, and it was where all the energy of the realm was concentrated. There, the council of elders that govern and lead the entire clan set up their base.

After having his meal with his sisters and freshening up a bit, Clover started to make his way towards the lighthouse.

Clover and his sister's home was located far away from the center of the observatory and it was almost at the extreme end of the whole realm. The three of them had set up their home on a large asteroid that had been left to them by their dead parents.

In the past, this asteroid had been a wandering space rock without any special properties but it was later acquired by Clover's parents for some reason who had anchored it close to the borders of the observatory which was far from the main area of activity of the other Immortals.

After the death of their parents when they were little, Clover had been accused of causing their deaths, which had not only orphaned himself and his sisters but had also led to the most important artifact of the Universe Immortal Clan going missing. Because of this, Clover had been exiled to this corner of the realm far away from everybody where he would have to fend for himself.

Normally, anybody who had been charged with such serious offenses would have long been executed by the Immortal elders but because Clover had still been very young, then and considering his parents had held a very important position in the Immortal Clan, the elders of the clan had only exiled him until the time when he had grown up before his final sentence would be decided.

Finally, that time had come, and Clover was on his way to receive his sentence.

With the help of warp technology that was developed by the universe immortals, it did not take long before Clover arrived at the center of the observatory. It is also because of this technology that even though Clover had been exiled to the ends of the realms, he and his sisters had still been able to keep in contact with the rest of the universe immortals.

Finally, after a short time of traveling at warp speed, Clovers' spacecraft arrived at the lighthouse.

As the center of the universe, the lighthouse was definitely impressive.

Right in, deep in the void of space, there was a giant pagoda that was as large as a plant that hung right in front of a massive Whitehole in space. The giant pagoda was dwarfed by the Whitehole as white creamy lights bathed the pagoda in a resplendent glow of majesty like a crown of flames.

This was the lighthouse, and it was the place where all the powers of the entire observatory were located. This giant pagoda that was bigger than a planet was actually an alchemical construct that was created by the universe's immortal clan over countless unending years. It was created to draw power from the Whitehole behind it so that this energy could be distributed more efficiently to the entire realm in order for life to propagate and flourish.

In a way, this pagoda, which is known as the lighthouse, has the same functions as a Dyson sphere that is meant to siphon and store energy from a star. Only in this case, the energy of the Whitehole is almost limitless.

This pagoda is the second most important artifact of the Universe Immortal Clan, with the first having more power and importance than the lighthouse did. Sadly, this artifact had been missing from the Universe Immortal Clan for many years.

Eventually, Clover reached the lower levels of the lighthouse where he docked his spacecraft. Then, under the escort of armed guards, clover was escorted to the sky platform where the immortal elders waited for him.

As Clover was being escorted, he was pulled back to the very first time he had stepped into the lighthouse. It had been more than a hundred years since then. That day had been the most painful day in Clovers' life as well as the day when Clovers' life was changed forever.

On that day, more than a hundred years ago, both of Clovers' parents had died in a crash after being ambushed by the mortal enemies of the Universe Immortals who had been after {The Obelisk}, which was the most powerful treasure of the universe immortals.

As the guardians of the number one artifact of the universe immortals, clover's parents had held a powerful status in the clan. They were also very powerful in their own right and what happened on that day should not have happened. The only reason why the tragedy had occurred was mostly that clover's mother, having just given birth to the twins Arya and Verna not long ago, had been greatly weakened. That and the fact that there had been a traitor among the universe immortals.

The events leading to the death of Clovers' parents, as well as the loss of the most powerful treasure of the Universe Immortal Clan, was not something that a child like Clover would have understood then, and even now as Clover had already grown up, he was not able to understand everything that had happened on that day.

The only thing that Clover knew was that on the day {The Obelisk} went missing, he had lost his parents, been branded a traitor, and had been exiled to the ends of the realm where he had to raise his sisters all by himself.

At the first glance, the twins were able to confirm that it was indeed their big brother Clover who had written this letter.The handwriting on the letter was definitely his own, and there were no signs of forgery. Aside from that, the twins were also able to recognize the specific coded words that one three of them used when communicating with each other.These coded words had been developed using a specific series of weirdly sounding words that the sisters uttered when they had still been babies. At first, it had only been a prank that Clover had come up with to tease his sisters, but in the end; it developed into a secret code the siblings used to communicate in secret.There was nobody other than the three of them who should be aware of what these weird words meant.

    The confrontation between Clover and the Vogul drew a lot of attention, causing a crowd to form around them. The loud clamor of noise then proceeded to draw even more attention and people to them.Ktulu, who was leading the way for Clover, noticed the commotion that was going on at the entrance and his gaze was attractive over there.Ktulu had already gone a bit further away from the entrance, so from his side, he could not see what was going on clearly. But Ktulu did not appear surprised. As he looked at the crowd that was gradually forming, Ktulu also commented."Do you see this, my lord? Things like this are a common occurrence in this space station. The inhabitants here are a rowdy bunch and they like to cause trouble.""Most likely, it is some ignorant newcomer who doesn't understand the ways of the station that is being harassed right now.

    Past the docking bay, there was a common area. After going through a few corridors and taking a lift to the upper level of the station, one would arrive at the common area. Here, this was where most of the residents of the space station conducted most of their activities.The Houndclaw space station, as dilapidated as it looked, was still a proper space station. The size of the space station was about the same as Earth's moon. The overall structure of the space station was in the form of a rhombus-shaped brick.There were four places from which one can enter the station depending on the direction one came from. Each of these docking areas had access to an identical common area and from there, one could explore the space station. There were multiple facilities that catered to different needs in the station and, depending on what they were in need of, it was possible to get it.Following Ktulu as he led the way, Clover observed his surroundings. There was nothing much to say about it. T

    There was a line outside the Houndclaw space station, where a simple check was being conducted. Every ship that wanted to enter the station would have to go through the check before being permitted to do so.But like was said, the check was simple, and it was mainly to register the ships that were docking in the station.Unlike other space stations that were very strict, the Houndclaw space station was quite lax in its management. This was because the main population of those that resided in the station was made up of outlaws, pirates, and fugitives of the law.The good thing about this is that there was a minimum guarantee of secrecy when business was being conducted at the station. But as a consequence, the security in the station was terrible.Clover was not concerned with all these factors. He was rather satisfied with the place. Due to how lax the security was in this place, it made it easy for Clover to avoid his pursuers and lie low while attempting to fix his ship. With this s

    The process of absorbing the life force from the obelisk was very fast. Over time, the feeling of his life order increasing that brought so much pleasure to Clover gradually faded, and the look of pleasure on Clover's face eventually eased. Very soon, Clover let out a breath as everything ended and he quickly composed himself once more. As Clover opened his eyes, there was a dazed look on his face as he recalled the feeling he had just experienced. It wasn't the first time Clover was absorbing life force, but every time he did it; it was still as intense as ever. Clover thought by now he would already be used to it, but that wasn't the case. Every experience was more intoxicating than the last, and the feelings that came with the process sought to overwhelm Clover's will. This feeling was very addicting. Some times, Clover felt like every time he absorbed a bit of life force from the obelisk, a part of him felt lost like something was missing. This feeling came from Clover's body an

    Absorbing Lifeforce

    Clover looked inside him at the obelisk fragment in the white space. The fragment of the obelisk was irregularity shaped without any well-defined dimensions. It was like a block of twisted metal and it could not look any more ugly. Anybody that saw this object would never have thought that it was a fragment of the legendary artifact, the obelisk.Right now, the fragment revolved on its own axis while giving off a dull resplendent glow as it floated while suspended in the air. Looking at it, the fragment could not look any less remarkable. The only thing that stood out about the fragment was the faint mysterious air that surrounded it.After looking at the fragment for a moment, Clover quickly turned his gaze away. This was not the first time Clover was seeing the obelisk fragment, as it had been with him for more than a hundred years. In all this time, the fragment had not changed, and it remained exactly the same unless for a few rare occasions.This time, what clover was interested

    Good News 2

    Due to the importance of the obelisk, it was kept closely guarded by the universe's immortal clan. But despite its abilities, the clan never used it. The reason was that using the ability of the obelisk to absorb the life force of other living beings to refine it was the same as killing them. This means if the universe immortal clan wanted to use the obelisk to grow stronger, they would have to constantly kill living beings in the universe to absorb their life force.For a clan that advocated balance in the universe and considered themselves the protectors of life in the universe, this was something that went against their bottom line. They would never consider turning against every living being in the universe just to increase their strength.Even if they wanted to do that, it was certain that other races in the universe would not allow them and they would fight back to destroy this clan of immortals that saw them as prey. This is why the obelisk was also a taboo artifact that was fo

He only knew that it existed and that inside it, his most important treasure and asset rested.The space was not large, about one cubic meter, and inside it, the fragment of the obelisk that was broken from the main body and fused with Clover floated.The obelisk was the most important artifact of the universe immortals. because of an accident involving Clover and his parents, it was broken and scattered all over the universe with a fragment of it fused with clover and becoming a part of him.

    The journey to the Houndclaw space station was uneventful. After settling Ktulu down somewhere on the ship, Clover went back to his cabin to rest and meditate.Having set the coordinates of the space station in the ship's navigation system, Clover didn't have to worry about anything and he could leave the ship to Trudy to watch after. If anything happened during their journey that Trudy couldn't handle on her own, she would inform Clover. Only then would Clover have to come out to deal with it.With everything set, Clover went into his room and started meditating immediately. He was still exploring the changes that had happened in his still world. During the process, Clover found out that the efficiency at which he visualized the vitality of the universe had increased greatly. This made Clover's connection to the universe even closer, and he was able to reap multiple times the harvest during his meditations compared to before.This sudden boon excited Clover, as it meant his strength
