In the past life of Kyros...
Kyros fell, bleeding with severe wounds all over him. The enemies had chased him, and he had managed to cross various zones that no cultivators under Cardinal dared to cross.
But in the last monts of his death, a strange power called out to Kyros and led him to safety. Even now, the power was slowly healing his wounds.
"You know, you should be dead, like . How is it possible that you are still alive?" A young, handso man sat down and glanced at Kyros.
"You're the one who saved ?" Kyros did not drop his guard but gave the young man a suspicious stare.
The young man sighed.
"So this is... the best that Fate could do, eh? Send a person who has constantly defied her and lived. I guess this is good. One who challenges Fate might be strong. But do you have what it takes to cross the great gaps? Your cultivation is weak and unstable, and the heritages you built your strength upon are abysmal, to be honest." The young man sighed.
"What do you an?" Kyros frowned.
"My strength has allowed to conquer and kill."
"Conquer and kill, and yet here you are. On the verge of death and at the rcy of . What a great conqueror." The young man chuckled.
"Why did you save ? Are you here to mock ? Experint with ? ...Rape ?"
"What? No! Rape you?"
"It's not my first ti, fool! I've seen n like you who see themselves over everything and do what they want!"
"Wow, Fate. Just wow. What did you make this kid go through?" The young man shook his head.
"I saved you from offering you power. I see no hope in your future, but my future is much dimr."
"Power?"
"You are a pitiful Commander. Strong, but rather pitiful. Your stats tell that you simply forged your way up the levels. You have a Champion's Potential and rely forced yourself to take in more energy to force you up the ranks. You are stronger than Champions but weaker than those with Commander potential. A pity."
"Weaker than Commanders? I've killed dozens of Commanders. And a Cardinal."
"What...? You managed to kill Commanders and a Cardinal? But I just saved your sorry soul from the clutches of those Commanders!"
"Yes. I would have died, but they would have died too. I still have my family's heritage skill, [Death Stance]." Kyros began to start the power that would have activated Death Stance.
The young man could tell what it would have done.
"Soul Overdraft! That would kill you but give you a strength of a Cardinal... Impressive. But you can't have used this skill to kill a Cardinal since you are still alive. How did you kill the Cardinal?"
"I used my sword!" Kyros answered with an irritated tone.
"Your sword?! Your strength is not strong enough to breach a Cardinal's defenses! Which sword did you use?!"
"My other sword! I raped him! Of course, I used this sword! Are you stupid?! I took this and slashed him!" Kyros raged.
"Calm down, will you? You act as soone sealed your ability to be happy in life. Sheesh! Alright. It seems Fate has chosen you for a reason. If you can kill a Cardinal despite your severely weak stats, I guess I can give you a boost. Get up. I'll be giving you my Code."
"Your Code? Who are you, and why do you want to give your power?"
"Let's just say I am a powerful cultivator who has special, powerful, and incomparable power. I can see that you are cultivating with a unique thod."
"A force Paladin."
"Whoever invented that is a genius. Even among my peers, what you are doing is quite impressive. In any case, I want to change your power. How would you like to be... a Celestial Paladin?"
"A Celestial? You're going to help level up all the way to 90?"
"Not in that way. Do you know that starting with Cardinal, cultivators have to train in various ways in order to level up and reach the next rank? Captains need to Class up to be Champion, and Champions need to do the sa to be Commander. But what do Commanders need to beco a Cardinal?"
"Yes. To beco a Cardinal, I know that a person has to have a second profession. They need to be at least a Champion level emphasizing the other fields of cultivation. For example, if the cultivator emphasizes Magic, they need to study Force. And the opposite is true for Force Cultivators." Kyros nodded.
"Right. But do you know why they have to do that?"
"Force and Magic need to both grow to reach the next level. Force strengthens the body, and Magic strengthens the mind and inner power. If soone is weak on either the mind or the body, it can't withstand the potent power of a Cardinal. I have been training to increase my magic, but my utilization stems from my Grandfather's heritage of Force Paladin. I am using a portion of my Magic and using it as Force. I don't have any legacies to study to be a mage, but if I keep going, I will eventually have magic strong enough to bear the weight of the Cardinal."
"Correct but incomplete. It doesn't have to be Force and Magic. The key concept is that Training Force or Magic strengthens both containers. And if one were to carry the weight of greater power, they need to have a container that stronger."
"There are other sources of power apart from Force and Magic?"
"There is. The Soul. Conquerors need to train in that if they wish to be a Cherubims."
Kyros was amazed at this piece of information.
"Soul? How do I train in the Soul?"
"This planet calls those who have trained in it to be those with a Second Source. Second Source refers to the power harnessed through the soul. Your training as a Force Paladin has triggered that. But do you know what Cherubims need to be Celestials?"
"No."
"A Pri Core."
"What's a Pri Core? Is it stronger than what mages have?"
"Yes. If you want to take the next step from Celestials into being Transcendent cultivators, you need to create or have this implanted in. Simply put, this is the heart and source of power. But I will give you my Celestial Pri Core."
"So you are giving the core that Celestials have?"
"One much stronger. Celestials are called Celestials because they can finally fly out to the great celestial body beyond their planets. But my power, the Celestial Core, harnesses the power of these Celestial Bodies. More specifically, the elents that create the planets and worlds above. Earth, Fire, Wind, Entropy, Water and Ice."
"Your core has Six Elents?!" Kyros exclaid.
"Yes. But with your current power, you can only wield one. You'll have to stay here for a bit and let train you. Of course, you still have to study how to unlock the power. Are you interested?"
"What price will I pay for this power?"
"Just live. The mont I give you this power, my enemies may look for you. I am as good as dead. I'll train you as much as I can, and I will die. Just live and try to survive. You may soon face my enemies. That's the only catch. I just want soone to live on with my legacy. And if possible, find my allies. You'll know them as the Core will urge you to."
"I already have a lot of enemies. Adding a thousand more doesn't make any difference. I accept. May I know your na?"
"Daradiel. Wielder of the Celestial Code. Now. Let grant to you my power." Daradiel closed his eyes.
At that mont, he spoke in a strange language that Kyros could not understand. But in his new life, those words that Daradiel spoke had aning as Kyros could understand First Word.
"I am Daradiel. Greater God of the Celestial Bodies. I wield the Elents that shape the worlds, and through , the Elents take life. Let the Code that I wield be passed on. Let the power be passed, and the elents converge, and let the elents hear his voice!"
Kyros felt a sharp pain all over his body. His senses awoke as if he could hear the elents, and excruciating pain was felt in his chest.
The Celestial Pri Core was given, and he could hear the elents.
Back in the present tiline, in the Temple, Kyros recalled the Words of Daradiel and understood the power of the Celestial Code. It was the power to make the Elents beckon to his call.
"How are you doing this? You don't have his Code!"
"But I did." Kyros laughed.
"You an...!"
"That's right. I rembered. That's how I can wield Earth, Wind, and Fire because while I cannot sense the elents now, I rembered what I had to do to wield it!"
"But how can you call the Elents? They won't beckon to your voice!"
Calaminus didn't sense it. But the Blood Calamity could. After all, it was the Corruption given to her.
"The Chard Fallen! He's using the Charm Fallen's allure to call the elents to submission!" The Blood Calamity was so stunned that she unconsciously spoke out loud.
Earth, Wind, and Fire surrounded Kyros as he stood up. The power of the Celestial Paladin had returned to Kyros.
"Finally. I can fight a bit better now." Kyros smiled as the power slowly faded. On Kyros's peak, he was able to control four of the six elents. But now, he already had three.
"I wonder how Daradiel would react if he saw now. Last ti, he kept looking down on ." Kyros mused.
Sowhere in the Planesworld...
Daradiel was shocked. He could not understand but sowhere, soplace where his eyes could not see, his power was being invoked.
"Who?! How is this possible?!" Daradiel shouted.
