Apex Star

Seeing Nova like that, the others wondered what happened to him.

"Nova, are you ok?" asked Denzel feeling worried. In fact, everyone in the room was worried seeing him collapse like that.

After calming a little bit down Nova didn't answer Denzel's question. He tried to remember his conversation with the 'Apex', more exactly the part about himself and the 'Slumbering', the exact opposite of the 'Awakening'.

A few minutes later he breathed some more air and finally started to talk.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, my bloodline reacted just now and showed me some pieces of memories." Said Nova, without actually saying anything about what happened. They were still strangers and he couldn't fully put his trust in them.

"I've heard that only when you have a specific relation with your bloodline could you receive Its guidance by memories or even techniques."

Said grand Elder Ghall, feeling surprised by Nova's luck.

The others were pretty much feeling envious, seeing Nova having such a high-quality bloodline, alas only if they knew what 'high-quality' meant in the eyes of the 'Apex'.

They were purely trash, it was this absurd for one of the most powerful bloodlines to be compared to some backwater measly bloodline that could barely be said to even be bloodlines.

Nova didn't want to talk about what happened, so after a few minutes of staying silent, he suddenly asked; "I forgot to ask you earlier but what is a star point?"

"A star point is a currency used in the Star Sect, received in three different ways;

1. One should be a disciple of the sect for 10 years.

2. By completing dangerous, or as we name it 'Star Missions', you receive a set number of star points by the degree of the mission.

3. The least popular method, by deserving it.

To deserve to receive star points, you should do meritorious services to the sect. Like expanding our branches, destroying other evil sects, and most important, killing demons or other races we're currently at war with."

Responded Denzel, explaining the star points in detail to Nova about the star point.

"Also, one could exchange star points for treasures or other miscellaneous Items, even for a position in the Sect. Well, the Elder seat is the maximum it can be exchanged for.

As for the Grand Elder position, besides becoming a Universe Stage, one must also have a certain degree of trust coming from the Sect."Said Grand Elder Ria, also butting in.

Nova was surprised that this kind of thing even existed.

He was suddenly enlightened about the reason the captain of the enforcement team was so downcast when he heard what his punishment will be.

Talking for a few minutes, Grand Elder Ria handed Nova a core disciple token and arranged for him another place to stay in, this time in the core of the Sect.

After being guided to his new place in the core sector, Nova was amazed by his new house which looked like a miniature palace.

The mini palace was mostly red with a few golden symbols on it, it was about 5000 meters square.

The cultivation room occupied the most place followed by the living room and dormitory.

The floor was made of red marble with golden walls and when Nova looked up he was amazed by the various colors that were present on the ceiling that depicted entire galaxies.

When Grand Elder Ria clapped her hands a few men and women appeared from the kitchen, there were 10 of them.

"These are your staff from now on, they will help you with everything you ask, but remember you can't abuse them in any way.

If you don't like someone you just have to file a complaint to our sect management branch located west of the core area." Said Grand Elder Ria, warning Nova to be human about the way he interacted with his servants.

Looking at the ten people in front of him that didn't dare to look him in the eyes, Nova was feeling a little bit perplexed about what to do with them.

Because he was staying alone he knew how to cook or wash his clothes and didn't require personal staff do to it. But after thinking that they could lose their jobs, and possibly their only income, he made up his mind.

"Hello, everyone! I'm Nova, don't mind me very much, as I will only be cultivating or taking missions from now on. If I need your help I will look for you."Nova quickly said this, so they won't have too much of a connection.

The five men and five women slowly tried to raise their heads and looked at Nova, all of them were stunned hearing him say this. Every single one of them expected to be treated like slaves or even worse.

Even if the Star Sect was good, they heard from other servants that their masters would abuse them from time to time.

And who will have the guts to complain about their master that was higher in stage and status?

After a few seconds, all of them responded in unison; "Yes, master!"

Nova had a strange feeling inside when he heard them say that, more like he felt accomplished.

Seeing the interaction between them, Grand Elder Ria chuckled to herself. She assured herself that Nova won't take advantage of the servants or kill them in a fit of rage.

"Okay, my job here is done rest a little bit, you should be tired. After that, you could check the sect missions.

Oh! I almost forgot, in one week there is a tournament organized by our sect that will be held in the sub-region, every single participant less than 100 years old and under Stage 9 will participate.

Our sect will send a few representatives, do you want a spot as our core disciple representative?" Grand Elder Ria asked Nova.

Hearing that Nova's eyes lit up. By going to the sub-region tournament he could maybe meet his parents, and maybe, even his Imperia again.
