Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 201 Dragon Fruit, Nirvana Awakening

'So how many reality motes will be needed to convince this tree?'

[3474 reality motes]

'…'

Arkhen took a deep breath and turned to King Thanin. "I have another very simple condition."

"What?"

"I want to go to a place with lots of dire beasts and kill them. Of course, the condition is that I get protection against stronger monsters that I can't handle," Arkhen said with a smile.

"If you want beast cores, then we can give you. We can also give you some Essence stones in our capacity," King Thanin said with a nod.

"Nah. I just want to kill dire beasts. But of course, I will be taking some essence stones if you can give any," Arkhen said with a cheeky grin.

"Alright," said Queen Alenia as she nodded.

…

Arkhen spent reality motes to convince the tree and then asked why it refused to go to the upper realm.

After asking this, Arkhen heard a voice in his head as the tree transmitted its thought in his mind.

'I didn't want to ascend because I am scared I will be abused there. I have some memories of my ancestor being abused by people, but I was not abused here. So I wanted to stay here, live here, and die here. Anyway, it doesn't really matter to me if I die or live. My only joy is seeing kids who come here to play and train while they grow up and leave after I bless them.'

'But it's fine now! I am convinced I will not be abused in the upper realm and will see more kids grow up and bless them.'

After talking a bit more with the tree, Arkhen turned to King Thanin.

"I know the reason why this tree didn't want to ascend," Arkhen said.

"Why?" King Thanin quickly asked. "I have asked it many times, but it never told me the reason."

"You have taken care of it here, but it felt that it would be abused in the upper realm just like its ancestor. That's why it refused to move up," Arkhen said with a sigh and continued, "well, I have convinced it but tell your clan to take care of it as you've done here."

"Worry not! All of them worship this tree, and none of them would dare to abuse it! I am also going to ascend and take the tree with me," King Thanin said with a serious expression.

"Abuse as in, don't forcefully feed it nutritious to boost its growth and use other means to produce more Dragon Fruits. That's the kind of abuse it is talking about," Arkhen said.

"Understood. But no one would do that because our Draken ancestor became human from humanoid dragons with bloodline because of this tree. All of us have the utmost respect and worship this tree."

…

After returning to the Draken Palace and then in his personal room, Arkhen started Sierra's Nirvana Awakening as her slumbering soul awakened and started going through her first trial.

"So the trial is like that…" Arkhen muttered after he looked at the things Sierra was going through.

[Indeed. In the first trial, they will see a dream in which they will live their life with you and pass if they never betray you despite being in all kinds of tough situations].

[In the second trial, they will go through the agony of various training as their thoughts and resolve would solidify, gaining power].

[In the third trial, they will go through a selection of tests to gain a suitable physique for them and complete the Awakening Nirvana]

[The 2nd and 3rd trials are no problem. But If they fail in the first trial… their soul will be obliterated. ]

Arkhen clenched his fist as he heard that. A second later, he took a deep breath as his eyes showed resolve. 'I consider them mine and love them. But if they failed to pass the first trial, it means that it was bound to happen. I may shed a tear and move on, but I truly hope that all of them pass.'

[From my speculations. All of them will pass. Katherin had the lowest chance of passing among them, but that chance is still high. So I think she will also pass in the end, though I am not 100% certain regarding her].

'Katherin... She was a feisty demoness in bed with Isabella, Grace, Ruchina, and Haruna. Although I have spent the least time with Katherin compared to others, I also don't want her to fail.'

"Arkhen, everything is ready. Let's go," Balthin entered the room and said.

"Alright," Arkhen said with a grin with anticipation in his eyes. It was time to pick a Dragon Fruit!

'I'll watch Sierra's trial after finishing the matter. I also want to see how it goes.'

[Haha, you will be moved to tears, my lord. Sierra will 100% pass the trial because she is the type of girl who can go through any length for you with her own set of stubborn but determined resolve. A stubborn to boot and passionate to the extreme. Her determination and resolve are the highest among all others].

'Yeah, I was also shocked when she suddenly did that. That silly girl,' Arkhen internally sighed when he remembered Sierra's actions.

After walking for a while, Arkhen arrived in another room, a tightly guarded one.

Balthin entered first and removed the cloth cover off a big basket as Arkhen saw over twenty Dragon Fruits.

[Fiery Heat Dragon Fruit]

[Mud-lord Dragon Fruit]

[Raikin Thunder Dragon Fruit]

[Shadow Creep Dragon Fruit]

[Lotus Virident Dragon Fruit]

[Moon Slaying Dragon Fruit]

[Icy Friezed Dragon Fruit]

…

'Velshi, which one is the highest grade Dragon Fruit?'

[For you, the strongest would be Flame Blazer Dragon Fruit. This bloodline is Epic-rank and also fire-attribute. With your fire affinity, the bloodline's abilities will be even stronger].

"I want that fruit," Arkhen said as he pointed at the Flame Blazer Dragon Fruit.

Following the direction where Arkhen pointed his finger, Balthin saw the fruit sought by Arkhen and wryly smiled before saying, "So you really picked an Epic-rank bloodline fruit. There are only six Epic-rank bloodline fruits in the basket."

After releasing a hollow laugh, Balthin fetched the Flame Blazer Dragon Fruit and gave it to Arkhen.

"Thanks," Arkhen said with a laugh as he saw Balthin's expression.

'Well, we will get more fruits in the end thanks to you. So all is well," Balthin said with a wry smile. "Do you want to use this fruit and then hunt dire beasts or first dire beasts? There's a lavatic region thirty kilometers away filled with dire beasts that threaten to run over small towns and villages near them. We periodically have to clean there, so we'll take you there."

[My lord. You have two options now. You either use the Dragon Fruit now to get a power-up or save the Dragon Fruit until you become a 3rd-class powerhouse and defeat the 2nd Guardian Boss in the Mystic Wonderland to unlock the Bloodline facility]

[In that facility, you will be able to modify this Dragon Fruit by infusing your current bloodline in it and mutating it. You might also get more bloodline catalysts by the time to become a 3rd-class powerhouse, possibly creating an even stronger bloodline by combing them with this fruit].

[Oh yeah. Don't forget that the reward for defeating the 2nd Guardian Boss will also be related to bloodline....just like how you got an EX-rank skill after defeating the 1st Guardian Boss].

'Hmmm...'
