The door of opportunity was right before the Dragon siblings’ faces. With the added context of history, the duo are now fully aware of how deep and long the history of this Heaven is.
The universe is massive, and they are but only tiny stars as of now. Even in their own family, they still aren’t recognized as people with a grand future.
And yet this didn’t discourage or sway either Cain or Kali’s mental state. Rather, a fiery stirring erupted from their very cores.
Cain and Kali quivered for all of a moment, their expression flaming with an intense fighting spirit!
Simultaneously, they answered from the depths of their souls, “Yes!””
Their passion was 100% genuine. And it wasn’t entirely related to their own goals and aspirations.
Cain and Kali did feel a little legitimate sense of responsibility towards their Imperial Family.
Although it is more accurate to say, they feel a sense of duty to uphold their grandmother.
Kali had always greatly admired and loved her grandmother, treating her as one of the most important people in her life.
As cold, arrogant, and prideful she may be, Kali did want to honestly help Shi Wei develop their Imperial Family in her own way.
Cain’s feelings were just as straightforward.
He may come from a different homeworld, but Cain already engraved Shi Wei’s family love into the depths of his heart.
His past family relationship was barely close beside his sister.
And now, experiencing a genuinely close bond with a grandparent heavily affected him in ways he didn’t even fully realize yet.
The future indeed seemed bright for them.
However, Cain didn’t forget about Amber.
His expression calmed as he asked, “Grandmother, what can you do for Amber? You already know she has no desires for Martial cultivation.”
Shi Wei smilingly nodded. “Naturally, I have a plan for her Spiritual Road. Compared to the Martial road, World Spirit Masters are inherently more reclusive and ward off from society, so it will be a bit more complex. But, I’m sure you can handle it, right, little Amber?”
A flash of determination sparked within her eyes as Amber nodded. She was prepared to go into long quiet seclusion if it meant to progress with Spirit energy.
Though she was far more subdue, her passion wasn’t behind Cain and Kali’s at all.
Cain was pleased with Amber’s response, feeling genuinely happy at her finding her own road in life.
He then said next, “Ok, grandmother, Nightmare Lord told me we have only several weeks left here because we used so much Heavenly energy. If we use more, the time will be massively shortened. But we can make use of more Heavenly energy this way.
Clapping her hands, Shi Wei began to decide their following steps. “Alright, we all be quite busy in these upcoming days. I will be quickly training you three, so we can get a clear obversion of prowess. Afterward, I will organize your fights, little Cain, Kali. But first, let’s gather all the resources we can quickly. We can’t stay cooped up for a long time. It is finally time to go home.”
…
Huang Dragon Imperial Palace.
Deep within the Palace, in the highest chambers, a grand meeting of the highest Huang Dragon was taking place.
Nearly a week has passed since the Nightmare massacre incident.
And it was only now that the highest Huang Dragons were having an important meeting concerning it.
Gathered around the luxurious meeting table was a mixed match of the most powerful Huang Dragons.
Their presence combined would be stifling to even a Divine Star expert.
The three Ancestors, Nailong, Xilong, and Wulong, were present along with their Leading Ancestor Maolong.
The saint Dragon Elders, parents of the Royal descendants, Huang Laolong and Song Lin, were present.
The current Dragon Emperor, Huang Dilong, was also present. And at his side was an extremely beautiful woman who exuded a grand heroic presence.
Her sharp eyes that directly pierce into your mind and her face that holds the enthralling charm of a female warrior almost made her seem handsomely beautiful.
She wasn’t a delicate empress or magnanimous empress.
But rather a domineering empress with a stifling aura of oppression. Even though her body was bewitchingly beautiful, one wouldn’t dare to linger on it in fear of her overbearing presence.
It is all exemplified by the golden bright Dragon robes she dawned.
Next to the ruthless emperor Huang Dilong, they made for a perfect example of a tyrannical couple.
At this moment, these Huang Dragons, who usually wouldn’t causally meet with each other, were now waiting on the last Dragon Ancestor.
But when thinking about her, these Huang Dragons started to knit their brows.
“Seriously, to get all of us here at the same time. I hope it is worth it. Her doing what she wants again reminds me of the last meeting she held.” Huang Xilong lightly commented.
“To be blunt, Ancestor Wei is somehow becoming more mysterious during these times. Not as if I could figure out what’s going on in her head before. But now, she seems entirely unpredictable. I mean, have any one of you caught a whiff of her since she went off to the Dragon Celestial pool with those children?” Huang Nailong openly asked.
“No, not at all. It’s hard to catch her under normal time in the first place.” Huang Laolong spoke while shaking his head along with Song Lin.
Huang Dilong and Huang Ya similarly shook their heads, saying, “Don’t look at us.”
“So that will only leave you Ancestor Wulong. Don’t tell me that even as her husband, you’re kept in the dark?” Huang Nailong pressed on.
And as expected, Huang Wulong wryly smiles while shaking his head. “She was always free-spirited and unpredictable ever since I first met her. Moreover, when it comes to either Cain or Kali, I’m simply lost in the abyss of her thoughts.”
“Speaking of those children, I recently heard they provoked the Phoenixes by killing three of their prized disciples. That boy seems to have the ability and such daring guts.” Huang Ya spoke her honest feelings.
“Indeed. He certainly has changed since last I saw him.” Huang Dilong said before suddenly directing his attention to the saint Dragon Elders.
His lips slowly curled into a provocative smile. “By the way, since was the last time you talked to your children? I may be their uncle, but it’s understandable why we can’t converse so much. But what about you two? Their own parents?”
Towards his brother’s evident provoke, Huang Laolong and Song Lin shrugged.
Huang Laolong said, “Let me ask you this. If Mother was fostering Zilong, could you do anything about it? Mother has a hold over them that you and I know it is impossible to break.”
He spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
And both Huang Dilong and Ya couldn’t offer up any sort of response. They just coldly snorted, opting to stay silent.
Right at that moment, space distorted, purple light flashed out, and a powerful Divine aura fluctuated from space cracks.
Void space was torn open.
Shi Wei stepped out of the Void space, entering the room at the head of the table.
All eyes promptly snapped on to her, the intrigue behind their gazes evident to see.
Shi Wei’s ever-present calm smile was present as she got straight to business.
“Greetings, everyone. I will make this meeting extremely short since I am on a tight schedule. What I’m about to say will change the entire foundation of our Imperial family. It will carve out a new history for us. A history that will lead us down to a peak High Tier Holy Land or even into a Heavenly Great World.”
The Huang Dragons’ attentions rose to intent degrees.
Even Huang Maolong, the one who colludes with Shi Wei the most, was watching with wide-open eyes.
Shi Wei continued on. “In a few days, I organized a fight for little Cain and Kali in yellow Dragon City. All in our hidden world will know about it. And it will quickly spread outside. Their opponents will be against two geniuses in the Divine Origin realm.”
‘Hm? That’s it?’ Visibly, the Huang Dragons, besides Huang Maolong, reacted.
They held their tongues, but their expressions betrayed their true thoughts. Each of them was puzzled with a slight mix of disbelief.
They, of course, know that Shi Wei won’t say or do anything unnecessary. Her mind is unpredictable, yet her plans are known to be brilliant.
But none of the Huang Dragons could possibly think of the significance of these fights.
Naturally, their thoughts went with that Cain and Kali somehow managed to reach the Divine Origin realm already.
It’s a little shocking to hear about such speed. But subconsciously, they placed nearly all of the effort on the Dragon Celestial Pool.
Shi Wei could see right through their thoughts. Her enchanting smile seemingly turned broader as she said, “Oh, and don’t think for a second either Cain or Kali are in the Divine Origin Realm. Even they need more time for that. No, they will be directly challenging Divine Origin geniuses as Early Stage Sky Sages.”
“What?!?” The Huang Dragons instantly lost all of their majestic bearings.
Huang Dilong, Ya, Nailong, Xilong, Laolong, and Song Lin stood like pricked hedgehogs, their expressions twisted in genuine disbelief.
Even Huang Maolong thoughtfully narrowed his aged eyes.
Huang Wulong’s voice had a noticeable quiver as he said, “You, woman. Don’t tell me that they are-“
“They indeed are Divine Mortals. I can personally attest to it after thoroughly training with them.” Shi Wei finished his sentence.
Ensuring afterward was complete, utter silence.
The Huang Dragons wracked their minds, rapidly producing thoughts just to comprehend this sudden bombshell of news.
The news source is Shi Wei, the Ancestor of their Imperial family, one of the older generational leaders, arguably the central pillar of their foundation.
How could her words possibly be fake?
But at the same time, a Divine Mortal was so polarizing to hear, so bewildering to believe, so insane to even think of!
This isn’t just a top-tier genius or peak Divine genius tier; it’s something that can reverberate throughout the whole Divine Boundless Heaven!
Out of everything they experienced throughout thousands of years, this may be the most crucial piece of news they had ever heard.
And inevitable suspicions emerge in each of them.
