Klaus reunited his five bodies on Planet Caelmir for a lively family dinner celebrating Lady Nivara's return to mortality and his ascension to True Immortality. The gathering included Queen Leah, her demigod children, Supreme Elders Narcisa and Idalie, gods, and his uncle, who had formed his law core. Meanwhile, a viral Uniweb post titled 'The Emergence of the Three-Body Problem' spread across the universe, igniting debates about the Renegade Hunter of the Righteous Faction, the Criminal of the Underworld tied to demons, and the enigmatic Paragon, questioning heavenly narratives and hinting at cosmic conspiracies.

[One Month Time Jump]

A vessel descended onto the void planet, and Efad stepped forth, enveloped in the Ancient Void Living Armor.

With Klaus achieving True Immortal status, his Nine-Headed Ancient Hydra Dragon Living Armor qualifies as an Immortal Emperor. As a sentient living armor two realms superior to him, its power has surged dramatically.

Possessing numerous bodies now, he chose to distribute the armor across them according to the tasks ahead.

Efad's assignment brought him back to the void planet.

Several years prior, Hanna, Kathy, and Vida had uncovered this world. Though it seemed brimming with verdant life, a portion had plunged into the void, connecting it to another realm inhabited by void wraiths.

This world contains vital secrets about a civilization from the Primordial Era, potentially tasked with guarding a void gate.

They lingered there for months, equivalent to mere days back on Earth. Time flows swifter within. Beyond the rapid pace, it aids regular warriors in building void affinity, advancing it through slaying wraiths and claiming void fragments.

Upon escaping, they briefed Klaus, who joined them later. Through intense clashes, they unearthed a void vortex.

En route, a mysterious source granted him a void crystal as reward, directing him to hurl it into the void vortex.

Thus, upon locating one, he cast it inside. That moment revealed the origin of this site. The realm from the visions had suffered a abrupt void gate breach.

Though puzzled why the wider universe remained ignorant of such an event, Klaus witnessed the guardians devising dual strategies: to seal the void and summon aid across the cosmos.

He gleaned little on their success in closing the void or dispatching help, or their failure. Yet a quest emerged, urging him to dominate all 12 void vortexes and deploy void crystals to unlock their embedded memories.

Deep down, Klaus sensed the legitimacy of this peril, so after amassing power, he returned to confront it.

Originally, he intended to tackle it personally, but his mounting duties left no such luxury.

Fortuitously, his surplus bodies could manage the pressing tasks elsewhere.

Efad drew the void mission duty.

This choice stemmed from his Peak True Immortal cultivation, plus forging 6 Immortal Rings.

Moreover, for unexplained reasons even Klaus and Icon couldn't fathom, the Supreme Elemental Bloodline from his 8th incarnation had evolved into the Celestial Law Bloodline.

Thereby, beyond mastering elemental laws encompassing every element, his bloodline now facilitates swift grasp of additional laws.

Hence, Efad can assist rather than relying solely on Pickle Berry for the tough work.

Klaus dispatched that body to the Void planet with the Void Armor. Full comprehension of past events was essential before enlisting allies to neutralize the looming universal threat.

Confidence in Efad's capability also arose because, post reaching Immortal King in one body, the Hivemind had bolstered and expanded threefold.

Calculations showed each mind now wields the might of ten from his Early Immortal days.

Thus, with 1,500 minds comprising the Hivemind, Efad stood ready.

Efad drew a profound breath prior to advancing. Moments later, he dissolved into the void region, heading for the initial void vortex.

Seconds passed before wraiths appeared, yet inexplicably, they refrained from assaulting him. They simply observed as he proceeded...

The uncanny gaze of hundreds of wraiths failed to unsettle Efad. He even found it somewhat entertaining.

Previously, hordes of thousands had swarmed them here. Now, they appeared cautious around him.

"But of course they had to be. Not only have I become a True Immortal, but I also have super affinity for the void. On top of that, I have 6 Immortal Rings, which I can increase to 12 without my body exploding. Even Immortal Lords would have to be wary of me."

A smug smirk crossed Efad's face as he navigated the foreboding void region's depths.

One month earlier, post the Planet Caelmir dinner, Klaus opted to cherish more moments with his loved ones.

This stemmed from knowing his departure meant years before reuniting. Hence, they shared vibrant weeks.

As the primary body reveled with his wives, the remaining four bodies bonded with the rest.

The laid-back Efad chose to clash with Caelmir's warriors. He battled numerous foes, with most matches ending in draws since he avoided sparking excessive turmoil, yet he still won their admiration.

Unbeknownst to them, he was the Paragon.

Meanwhile, Kaden lingered by his grandma's side nearly every moment. Desperate to uncover more about his mother, he hounded Lady Nivara daily for every detail.

Rhazor shuttled between Uncle Monk, Lista, Rania, and Steven (Rania's elder brother). He even forged a sworn brotherhood with Steven, paving the way for the crafty Orion, the ultimate charmer of ladies.

As the main body toiled in sweat, that sly rogue wooed Queen Leah, her mother, and her elder sister. Their faces flushed crimson with blushes whenever he appeared nearby.

In short, he savored the pinnacle of joy on Planet Caelmir. Yet all good things must end, so after a month, the other four bodies returned to their duties.

Efad now traversed the void planet, steadily approaching the first vortex. Moments later, he arrived, slipped through without hindrance, and set course for the second.

"Finally, I cannot hold back again. In here, I can go all out," he muttered to himself, then eased his pace.

Before him, thousands of wraiths—each rivaling an Empyrean in power—surged forward. A subtle smirk graced Efad's lips at the grand display.

Years prior, the charge of thousands like them would have filled him with dread. But now, his overwhelming strength ensured that even if he stood defenseless, they couldn't blemish his armor.

Feeble as they were, Efad simply thrust a finger ahead, conjuring thousands of void qi spears mid-air. With a swift motion, they hurtled forth, piercing the onrushing wraiths.
