Chapter 148 – Entire Process Completed! Ruthless Gene Star! (not Edited Yet)
While Aren had fainted and his soul was put to slumber, a dreamy silver-blue liquid was spreading throughout his body and changing the quality of his body to a higher level. This liquid was mystical and even thinner than the thinnest liquid, but it held mysterious genetic power.
In the first process, the base power of Celestial Ichor was already inside the body, and it had done initial transformation. However, that power(dreamy silver-blue liquid) was not activated because Aren's body was fundamentally weak to bear it and needed a higher bloodline and higher lifeform stage to complete the final process.
…
"Well, it seems that everything went well in the end, I think. Right, Lord Kylie?" Tarrox sighed a relief as he looked at the beautiful lady wearing a mystical purple long-sleeved dress.
Lord Kylie chuckled and nodded, "It did indeed go very well. At least, by having a legendary bloodline, its purification at 100%, super-grade meridians, and mythical-grade Spinergy method, he had satisfied the same conditions as seven other individuals who can potentially become main pillars in their world to fight their despair."
"Who is strongest among them right now?" Lord Tarrox asked with curiosity.
"It's that lass who got Tyranni Mayhem Bloodline and Mythical-grade spinergy method in Alokka ruins. She is already a tier-two supreme lifeform."
Tarrox was startled, "I have read about Tyranni Mayhem Bloodline. It's an ancient demonic bloodline."
"Hahaha, she was a tiny second away from death while getting that bloodline inheritance in ruins. I was tempted to save her but held myself back."
Tarrox wryly smiled, but he knew that Lord Kylie would never interfere like that.
He then shook his head and spoke, " Also, I thought Aren was an exception for having a Mythical-grade spinergy method, but it seems I was wrong. How many other individuals have Mythical-grade spinergy method?"
"Total three, including Aren."
"The chances of this mortal realm surviving is getting close to the previous mortal realm in a shorter time," Tarrox said with a grin.
"Well, these bloodlines, spinergy methods, powerful physiques, etc., will be for naught if they die before becoming Legendary lifeform," Lord Kylie spoke as an indifferent smile stretched across her face.
She then turned to Tarrox as a slight pressure exuded from her body, "Tarrox."
Tarrox gulped, "y-yes?"
"It's time to stop. I will randomly transport Aren's mother and those three with her to different locations far away. They will survive on their own and get their own chance or die trying to get strong."
"B-but Aren-"
"Of course, they still won't be able to contract Aren and won't be able to return to their mortal realm since you have already isolated them with your power. So Aren won't find out as per for your plan."
Lord Kylie continued, "You didn't lie to him about reviving them if they managed to survive against despair. The souls of all those people who died after we arrived here are stored, and as long as they survive, they can be revived."
"What if Aren somehow met them before the despair event?"
Lord Kylie shook her head with a smile, "Don't worry; I will not let that happen. Although I don't think Aren will become lethargic after reuniting with them, they will definitely hold back Aren's progress."
"Current potential main pillars individuals are eight. Out of them, only Aren was with the group, but you changed that, and now he has satisfied the conditions."
"Indeed. These exceptional individuals can only progress faster without baggage with them," Tarrox said with a smile.
After saying that, Lord Kylie's eyes flashed as they revealed a dark abyss with a tiny white glow, and there was an outline of another eye inside them.
Tarrox sighed as he knew that Lorain, Quinn, Luna, and Hemila would've separated and been sent to different locations by now.
Indeed, four of them were currently fighting in a dungeon, but they disappeared from there.
The Empress, who was in meditation, also got the news from people who were sent to observe them that those four people suddenly disappeared.
However, she heard Lord Kylie's voice the next second and understood the situation.
"Heh, Tarrox. I will not refund my favor to you because of this," the Empress snorted with a smile.
…
Day 51…
Aren opened his eyes and was flooded with notification.

[You are now eligible for receiving ???, which you can only gain in Orland High realm. To reach Orland High realm, you must defeat the despair in your mortal realm.]
[Good luck and do your best.]
When Aren opened his eyes and saw his body, he was surprised to see that it had returned to his normal human body but…he was now completely naked.
He hurriedly summoned [Vyrmend] the leather armor as it appeared over his body before summoning [Weimbus], the mobile armored suit that covered his entire body.
Afterward, he sat down crossed-legged and closed his eyes and saw in his inner space that the Emporio Celestial Physique had turned return its normal human form.
From the two Gene slots floating around him, the 1st Gene slot had turned into Aember-red in color as it pulsed with the same color glow.
[Emporio Celestial Physique]

<Physique Effects>

"Awesome," Aren spoke with a bright smile. All that pain was worth it. However, it seems that he will have to endure more for that Ruthless Gene Star.
"Even higher grade-meridians than super-grade? Wheew…even that person at the Guild only told me that super-grade was highest. I guess he also didn't know there existed higher grades," Aren muttered before he captured the keyword.
"Orland High realm…," Aren muttered as he narrowed his eyes, "the Earth, my world, is considered mortal realm while there is this Orland High Realm. Huuu, I wonder what kind of place is that?"
Shaking his head, Aren wryly smiled, "whatever that place is, I need to survive here and beat that despair before going there."
[After ten minutes, you will be sent to the enlightenment space. Before that, you can check your newfound strength and organize your thoughts.]
Aren first looked at his status window, which has now changed a bit.

Afterward, Aren looked at the entire new panel, which was for his bloodline.
