Celestial Bloodline

Kyle reappeared above a rock, resting amidst the many small plants surrounding a vast open ground where numerous people sat cross-legged in meditation, their eyes closed in

tranquility.

His glanced towards elder Sophia, who stood at a higher vantage point than the meditating individuals.

She, along with a few older individuals, observed and guided the people around her, ensuring everyone remained focused and centered in their practice.

Sophia's eyes shifted towards Kyle when she sensed his gaze. Believing he wanted to know why everyone was meditating, she explained everything again in a louder voice just for him to understand the purpose.

"You need to clear your mind. Try to channel the divine and spiritual energy within your body into your mind space. This will strengthen your soul and expand the size of your mind space. Having a powerful soul and a larger mind space is essential for advancing to the supreme rank."

She paused for a moment and spoke directly in Kyle's head.

'Everyone here has already practiced to strengthen their mental strength so they could overpower their opponents in battle with mind strength. If you want to practice that, you should focus your spiritual energy towards your mind and work on building a strong connection. Visualize your energy flowing into your thoughts, creating a shield that can deflect any negative influence. Once you feel that energy, practice directing it outward, imagining it as a wave that can impact your surroundings. This will also help you strengthen your comprehension skills and enhance your concentration.'

Kyle heard her; the training sounded good and right, but he had a question.

'I know that meditating to enhance the power of one's soul and mind is beneficial. But why are they expanding the size of their mind space? Isn't it already quite vast?'

A frown appeared on his face. He had awakened his mind space before he sensed divine

energy, but the size of his space was like a never-ending ocean.

So, shouldn't everyone else's mind space possess the same vastness? Or maybe he was wrong, and everyone's mind space had a different size?

Sophia was slightly confused by his words, but she responded patiently.

'A newly awakened mind space is indeed quite vast, and it expands with each rank one ascends. However, its size is closely linked to the strength one can attain. The vaster the size of one mind space, the greater the potential for growth. Thus, expanding the mind space is crucial.'

Kyle remained silent for a moment. It seemed that the size of his mind space was certainly different from others, likely due to his bloodline. After the brief pause, he glanced at the elder.

'What is the size of your mind space?'

Sophia raised an eyebrow. This was a personal matter that not many shared with others. She narrowed her eyes at Kyle's face to gauge his expression and noticed he was deep in thought. After a moment, she provided him with a vague answer.

'Half the size of a planet.'

Kyle let out an 'Oh'. He actually wanted to say, how small, but he swallowed his words and withdrew his gaze.

He sat down comfortably and glanced toward the spot where Yue was seated with Elli, Lara, and Mia.

'Everyone is working hard...'

With this thought, he crossed his legs, placed his hand under his chin, and closed his eyes to relax... ahem, meditate as well.

After a short while, Sinon's furious figure stormed into the area. The man pointed an accusing finger at Kyle, who seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed. However, when he caught Sophia's narrowed gaze, he quickly backed off. No one was allowed to make noise on this floating island.

'I will definitely get my revenge later!'

He grumbled before heading over to join Alec and Carcel, who were seated together in the distance.

The sky above them didn't change shade, time trickled by, and Kyle's breath stilled. He wasn't sleepy, but his thoughts were empty, like a blank canvas. He lifted his hand to pat the head of the crimson bird that had suddenly landed on his shoulder.

'Where did you go?'

Bia's eyes flashed with fury, but she restrained the urge to curse.

-'I just went to see my little junior off to war. He seems to be working incredibly hard-so much so that I would not mind watching him get a few bones broken.'

Kyle didn't say anything in response. He already knew Bia was talking about Nox. Still, he had to admit he was surprised to see that the lynx's physique and soul had reached the divine rank.

Nox's true rank remained the same, but it was clear that he was making an effort to become more powerful, unlike the lazy and gluttonous phoenix on his shoulder.

Bia shook her wings, irritated, but she soon began to calm down. After a few minutes, as drowsiness started to set in, she finally noticed a faint layer of spiritual energy emanating from the body below her.

-'What is this? A new skill?'

Kyle hummed in response.

'No, I'm just using my spiritual energy to create a subtle healing effect in the air around me.

It's calming.'

Bia closed her eyes.

-'So, it's not dangerous.'

She settled in comfortably and decided to drift off to sleep. After all, she didn't have anything else to occupy her time. In such a tranquil atmosphere, she knew she would feel hungry if she stayed awake. With no food available, sleep was her only option.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. Sophia eventually left the area.

The older individuals wandered around, guiding everyone in the area whenever they noticed someone struggling to concentrate. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The sky remained a constant shade of orange, as if night and day didn't exist.

Alec was the first to open his eyes. He clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling a slight increase in his soul strength. It wasn't much, but given his current power, even a small boost made a significant difference.

His gaze turned to Carcel, then at Sinon, who had joined them a while ago.

Both had their eyes closed.

Alec's eyes wandered around the area before landing on a familiar face sitting cross-legged on a rock in the distance. He stared for a moment, narrowing his eyes when he noticed how many people in Kyle's vicinity were sneaking glances at the man instead of concentrating on

meditation.

The scene was so familiar... so familiar that it made Alec chuckle.

'I remember getting these kinds of looks when I first arrived here. No, even when I first joined

the Royal Academy back on the blue planet, people would always glance at me because of my face. To think that one day, Kyle's charm would be so high that even mine wouldn't compare. What is he doing to make his skin glow so much?

Alec shook his head, feeling aggrieved at how Kyle could look so otherworldly. He rubbed his

nose and called the system.

'Soul? Are you awake?'

Soul replied immediately.

'I am.'

Unlike in the past, when the system functioned just like a machine, it had now evolved into something significantly more powerful. This transformation was due to the power it was gaining from Alec, who climbed one rank after another.

Odiak was shocked when he discovered that the first divine artifact he had created countless years ago had gained sentience. The old dwarf had merely left it behind on the blue planet, along with many treasures stored within it, designing it in such a way that it would attach itself to a person with the greatest potential.

The artifact was crafted from the essence of a planet's core and many other powerful

treasures, giving it the ability to predict the future and design missions for the chosen individual, ultimately leading them to Odiak. This meant that one more powerful ally would be added to their side in the war.

And it had done its job perfectly. However, when it was time for the system to return to its

creator, it outright refused.

Alec could only remain silent as the two spoke, but Odiak expressed that he didn't wish to

reclaim artifact. Instead, the dwarf appeared genuinely excited and more than willing to let it

accompany Alec for as long as the young man lived.

Odiak had crafted numerous artifacts over the years, but only a select few had gained sentience. One of them was the sword he created for James.

To think that another of his divine artifacts had gained consciousness and become so

powerful filled him with a lot of pride; he just wanted to see it grow even stronger, like a

father, and he was content.

Alec stared at the space before him.

'Can you check Kyle's stats?'

The system didn't respond and simply displayed the results. Instantly, a familiar blue screen

flashed before Alec's eyes.

'Name: Kyle Ohan'

'Race: Human/Semi Celestial'

'Rank: Trancendent (Last stage)'

'Bloodline: Celestial'

'Soul: Supreme-rank (Middle stage)'

'Physique: Supreme-rank (Last stage)'

'Special ability: Nature's favorite, due to (S+)-Rank luck.'

'???'

No more information provided. To know further information host needs to be a whole Rank

higher than the target.

Alec sucked in a deep breath. His eyes reflected indescribable emotions when he saw Celestial

- a word that not many can voice twice in Kyle's information.

The system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, jolting him out of his daze.

'I could see this only because he allowed me to check his body.'

Alec snapped his head up and saw the familiar green eyes staring at him. No, they were staring straight at the screen floating in front of him with a complex expression.
