Royal Castle, Nightingale.
Inside a spacious and empty hall.
Lith was sitting in the middle while being in plain white robes. He was currently ditating and was working towards achieving a breakthrough.
He gained experience from the war and also had absorbed all of the energy inside him as well. There were no remnants present.
The hall Lith was in had monitoring spells casted in them and he was being watched by his wives. They were sitting near a round table and were watching him on their respective tablet screens.
Everyone had serious looks on their faces as what Lith was about to do was sothing that had never happened before. Not even in the ancient past were there any records of a person becoming a pseudo immortal just by the age of twenty-one.
If Lith manages to achieve this, he would definitely beco a revered one and let alone becoming a famous figure now, he would forever be immortalized and rembered by the people.
"Mom, you think he'll be able to do it?" Lucy couldn't help but ask after a while.
Lilith smiled and replied, "I don't know."
That was true. According to her mories, Lith was going to be a Half Saint by the age of thirty-eight. But now that she altered things, he was preparing for ascension at the age of twenty-one and thus, even she had no idea how things would go.
Lucy sighed and got back to looking at the tablet. She didn't find anything odd with that answer. Her mother wasn't soone omniscient according to her and she knew that there were things that even she didn't know of.
Arya, Alexandra, and Emilia were watching their screens intently as well. They were worried about Lith's ascension as it seed too premature to them. But since their mother-in-law didn't stop him, it ant Lith had so chances.
Previously, they rushed to Nightingale as soon as they found that their husband was back. But as luck would have it, he went to the ditation hall before they were able to et him.
Lith, when he parted ways with Lucy, went to his room and relaxed for a bit. But after a while, having nothing to do, he decided to prepare for his ascension. His wives weren't here and had he known they would co back in a bit, he would've waited.
But everything was alright. They weren't going anywhere, neither was he.
Lith continued to ditate and a week passed by without any changes.
Lith soon slowly opened his eyes and softly called out, "Luna."
In a few monts, Luna appeared in front of him.
"How may I help, Your Highness?" Luna bowed slightly and asked.
Luna had his eyes half opened and he said calmly, "get the blood of the Konzak Tree from Shadow River Sect and preserve it well."
"As you wish." Luna bowed again and left.
Lith closed his eyes again and went back to ditating.
Lith was supposed to get one reward from the Shadow River Sect if he helped them win the war. He gave them a week's deadline but now he was busy with cultivation and couldn't go there. Thus, he sent Luna on his behalf.
When he ca back, he also made Noman and Ruben go to CNC and deal with things. He knew CNC would try their best to cause him problems. Though he didn't exactly tell them who was responsible and what to do, he knew they would be able to manage.
Lith had no idea that these two ended up killing the council mbers in the parliant itself. They seed so calm and easy going people but who would've known that they would beco so cold-blooded when soone tried to harm their Prince.
Killing the council mbers was sothing not even the most vile criminals would do. Killing them would an offending all eight Supre Ranks and being on the kill list of every country in the world. That also ant not being able to do trades and any other business in the entire world.
After sorting things out, Lith prepared for ascension and here he was now.
Even after a week, he was still comprehending things and he wasn't done yet.
It took him one more week to finally reach the point where he couldn't comprehend things anymore. But the problem he now faced was being unable to get past a few things. He got a block in his mind.
Lith's calm face had a slight frown and his brows knitted slightly. He continued to try his best to get past the block he was facing.
Lith was stuck with a question in his mind. Will having absolute power solve everything? Is that the eternal truth? Lith couldn't help but think more deeply on this.
But no matter what, even after a few hours, he was unable to get past this blockage.
To find answers to his questions, he decided to ask his mother about it. Lith had full faith in his mother and had a hunch that she knew almost everything in the world. Ask her anything and she'll know about it.
Though Arya and her mother were both Supre Ranks, Arya was soone who had just ascended and his mother had been a Supre Rank for ages. Her experience was sothing Arya couldn't match. Thus, she was the best person to ask questions to.
Lith slowly opened his eyes and softly called out, "Mom."
In just a second, Lilith arrived in front of him and asked with a smile, "what is it, baby?"
Lith looked at her and asked seriously, "does having absolute power solve everything?"
Lith went straight to the point without wasting ti.
Lilith, with the sa gentle smile as before, answered, "No."
"You can solve conflicts with strangers with power but you can't do the sa thing with your loved ones. Being ntally strong is just as important as being physically. Having a high IQ won't solve everything. You also need a high EQ."
Lilith kept her explanation short and to the point.
Lith nodded as he heard that. "I understand, thank you."
"Anything else?"
"No."
"I'll leave then." Lilith took a step forward towards Lith after saying so and disappeared after kissing him on the forehead.
Lith went back to comprehending things and he thought deeply about what Lilith just said.
A while later, Lith's aura soon turned chaotic and his spiritual energy fluctuated and was visible around him.
A white fog waved around him and a few monts later, there were sparks of electricity running in the fog.
The fog turned thicker and soon, it turned into a tornado that revolved around Lith.
After golden streaks of lightning, there was a chain of rocks that revolved in the gray tornado. Then ca bubbles of air, then water, and then reddish-black streaks.
These elents were pure elental energies and were ford from the energy from Lith's core. The gray tornado was Lith's spiritual energy itself.
The tornado's speed then slowed down and half of it disappeared and reappeared from so place.
Then appeared golden and white streaks of light and finally, black smoke rose from Lith's abdon and got mixed with the tornado.
An all-elental mage like Lith had to work much harder during ascension than any other normal person. The more elents you had on yourself, the more burden you would need to bear.
Thankfully, Lith's bloodline helped him in managing things properly and there was also Lucy and Lilith who trained him properly for this.
Soon…
The elental energies from the surrounding started getting absorbed in the tornado and from there, it went inside Lith's core.
Lith needed a lot of elental energies in the surrounding to undergo ascension and thankfully, he didn't need to care about it at all since he was in the Royal Castle.
The Royal Clan had many ans to increase the concentration of elental energies and a lot of resources as well.
Lith's core was currently undergoing cleansing. The elental energies inside of it was coming out and the one present outside was getting purified by his spiritual energy and was going inside.
It was a continuous exchange and lasted for a few days.
Soon…
Lith's core was finally fully white and it was now ti for ascension.
Lith took a deep breath and said softly, "ti to begin."
Lith's spiritual energy went back inside him and his aura blasted again once more.
Lith finally underwent ascension and before he could think of anything else, he felt a strange sense of vertigo and before he knew it, he felt himself getting sucked into a vortex and…
