Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 326: A Roar that shakes the World. Birth of the new Hegemon. [End of Book Six]

When all the eyes focused on the [Primordial Energy Core], they felt an unknown pressure. Because of its majestic aura, just looking at it felt like an offense. Those that laid their eyes on the Core felt like they should lower their heads and patiently wait for whatever was happening to complete without interference.

*Thump-Thump.*

The rhythmic sound reverberated one more time, making their chest feel those vibrations directly. The loud sound created energy waves with each pulse, distorting its surroundings.

"The sound comes from the orb?"

"It seems like it."

"What is happening?"

"I don't know, but this aura is too scary."

You have to remember that the people who observed Yasenia's previous death were only in the hundreds. In a group of now twelve thousand, they were too little. Of course, Gerd's previous declaration created some doubts about the origin of this. Together with the fact that this item was Yasenia's, people began doubting.

However, even for a cultivator, it seemed too incredible to be true, and soon most discarded the option of the creature in the Core being Yasenia. The main reason was that it was common knowledge that the Heavenly Dragoness couldn't actually transform.

The beasts and beast-humans felt it much more powerfully than the rest. And unknown to their group leaders, they began shifting toward the beast faction.

Laurina muttered, "Ancient Beast. This event only happens when a Peak-level Ancient beast is about to be born!"

The dragon princess's declaration was like a spark, and everyone got excited.

Even inside the Sky Continent, the highest bloodline level was Peak-level Divine beast. And that was counting the adult beasts.

Ancient Bloodline level beasts had been unable to be born for a long time because the purity of the parent's bloodline was not enough.

Moreover, since humans dominated the Sky Continent, there have been more than once when a beast mated with a human, further diluting their pure bloodlines.

However, right before their eyes, the thing about to be born was a whole realm above it. A peak-level Ancient Bloodline beast. What did this mean? This creature was extremely likely to break through the ceiling of the Sky Continent, the peak-level Transcendence realm.

Furthermore, bloodline levels improved as the beast grew up, so being born in this realm meant that it would achieve immeasurable heights in the future.

On the Sky Continent, Tatyana sat on her black and green throne, looking at the spectacle. After confirming that Yasenia didn't completely die after being struck to death by that lightning bolt, she relaxed a lot. There was a smile hanging on her lips as she amusedly thought. 'What will you do now, Moon Goddess, Sun God? The thing you thought to be your puppet is about to walk on its own four limbs. Without my help, my daughter is about to break those powerful fate strings you attached to her. How does it feel? Terrible, right?'

Tatyana laughed as she drank a red liquid from her cup. 'But what can you do? The ties you two put on yourselves to be bound to my daughter prohibit you from doing anything before she reforms her body while advancing to the Transcendence Realm. What a tragic outcome. In the end, you've underestimated my little treasure, and now she is free to do what she likes the most, growing beyond everyone's expectations, far beyond what you two predicted.'

Tatyana let the half-empty cup float and rested her chin on her palm, looking humorously at Change'er's and Tai Yang's emotionless faces. 'Will you be able to complete your plans? Will you be able to guide her as you want? Will you two give up your plans and become her strength? Or will you two fail and become Yasenia's enemies? What an interesting future is before us, hahaha.'

At the same time, Mirrory's green eyes flashed inside the secret realm, and a smirk appeared on her lips. After deducing what was happening, she couldn't help but find everything more and more interesting. 'So that's how it is. This is getting fun. Their inheritor turned out to be such an anomaly. Well, I'm more than happy to see those two disgraced.'

Meanwhile, Tai Yang and Change'er looked at the black orb with visible frowns. Their eyes were cold and also had a speck of frustration. The fact that Yasenia managed to be born as a single creature instead of two was already strange, but now she managed to awaken the Celestial energy before they thought it would happen.

Things were walking further from their thought path faster than their plans could mend things.

Moreover, the fact that Yasenia learned about their identities was completely out of their expectations. They knew her mother was suspicious, but they also knew that as an experienced Fate Attribute user, she would leave things for Yasenia to discover. Records about them were almost null. Only the tomb Tatyana found in the past would be able to clarify their identities.

Change'er said, "We can't do anything more."

Tai Yang sighed, "I know..."

*Thump-Thump.*

The two-meter circular orb made a pulsating sound one more time, and the surface became semi-transparent, showing a curled reptilian silhouette.

The creature wasn't big by any means; it didn't even occupy a large part of the Core. Moreover, people could see that some body parts were still growing. The tail, the wings, the horns, and the four limbs. Those things were still incomplete but visibly growing.

*Thump-Thump!* *Thump-Thump!* *Thump-Thump!*

From periodical heartbeats to more fast-paced and natural ones. The heart of the creature began thumping rhythmically.

Now all of the present cultivators understood that the sound was the beating heart of that powerful creature.

Laurina didn't want to believe it, but when she directed her gaze toward Cecile's group and saw their almost uncontrollable smiles and joy. This made her own heart thump, 'It's really her... T-That's Yasenia? Why is a dragon being reborn!? That's not something a dragon can do!'

However, Yasenia's bloodline, attributes, and origin were Unique.

What did Yasenia represent?

The sky. The Sun. The Moon. The Stars. The Firmament.

Yasenia represented the Universe.

And what was about to happen was similar to the beginning of the Universe. For that, the dragoness needed to be reborn.

It was a new being that represented all of the above, and this time, no matter how much the Heavens wanted to stop it, they couldn't.

The reason? Yasenia wasn't taking energy from the world to be reborn. She was using the accumulated and completely transformed energy by the [Celestial pearl] inside the [Primordial Energy Core].

Natural Treasures were born from the Heavens but independent from them.

That's why the Truth Mirror could fight against the Heavens themselves, and that's why Yasenia drained all her cultivation and let the [Celestial Pearl] absorb it. After the powerful lightning obliterated her body, she hid her soul inside the [Celestial Pearl].

The control of the soul was natural to her, and you should remember the scene of Yasenia entering Cecile's soul to cleanse her of the miasma plaguing her. Moreover, more than once, the silhouette of the dragon that appeared behind Yasenia was her soul. It began appearing as early as the Body Modification Realm, the moment she awakened her bloodline for the first time.

After her soul was stored in the [Celestial Pearl], it fell into the [Primordial Energy Core], together with [Draconic Heart], and the three things worked together to reshape a body for the dragoness.

[Draconic Heart]'s Red Core was something that evolved with Yasenia, and during the twenty years inside the Trial, it practically became a part of her. That's why the sword lost its rusty surface and transformed into a giant blue sword, representing the color of her Celestial Energy.

Since her soul has always been that of a dragon, the reshaping ended up in a dragon form, her true form. The shape she should have had since Tatyana gave birth to her.

As her heartbeat's rhythmic waves of energy spread through the Secret Realm, most of the groups were preparing for battle.

The greed of capturing this beast and making it their companion blinded most people.

Just imagining riding the dragon about to be born or making a contract with it filled every single one of them with excitement.

The leaders of the ten groups tried calming everyone down, but the general thoughts were the following. 'If I get that dragon, I will not have to listen to you anymore!'

Loyal people were in these groups, especially the beast and righteous groups. But the temptation the dragon inside the "egg" gave was truly high.

However, before things got out of control, a crack echoed in the surroundings. The [Primordial Energy Core] cracked because of Yasenia's pressure and body reconstruction. Even a Transcendent-level Treasure had trouble containing the creature's aura.

This led to some of her presence leaking outside.

It was like a wave that hit everyone. The moment the wave hit them, it felt as if a superior being placed its eyes on them.

The dragon-related bloodline creatures felt their legs bending, and they sweated just with this small aura leak.

Laurina also felt her soul quiver, even though she was an extremely high-level bloodline dragon. She turned toward the White and Black haired man and sneered, "I suppose that, unlike those stupid humans and demons, you've already guessed who that is. Do you regret your previous words?"

The man didn't answer, but the cold sweat dripping from his forehead said more than a thousand words.

In the middle of the transparent Sphere, in the neck area of the dragon, a starry blue light shone, submerging the surroundings in a beautiful and ethereal glow. The [Primordial Energy Core] mended under that light and became pristine one more time. Then, it began shrinking.

Although people feared it would crush the creature inside, under the stupefied gazes of the spectators, it phased through it as if it didn't exist, shrinking toward the stomach area and finally fully revealing the creature.

Everyone took a collective breath.

The revealed beast encompassed the beauty of the firmament in a dragon form.

She was like a piece of the night sky that decided to hold the Moon in her left wing, the Sun in her right wing, and the stars across her whole body. The smooth and beautifully carved starry-blue scales shone with an ethereal light. Its golden horns and claws were as bright as the Sun. The long and thick tail had golden rings, and the tip was completely golden.

If people had to describe the dragon in one phrase, they would certainly use this one.

Empyrean Sovereign.

The dragon carried such majesty, beauty, and dominance that it made the stars in the Heavens pale in comparison.

Her eyes slowly opened, revealing beautiful golden reptilian eyes, and with them, a wave of energy drowned the surroundings.

The feeling the Celestial Energy thread gave before was now a quality of the awakening dragoness.

Then, she extended her large wings, body, and neck and roared toward the sky!

"ROAAR!"

The resonant and profound dragon roar caused the Earth to tremble, the Heavens to shudder, and the entire Universe shook in awe before the absolute being that was born.

The roar didn't only echo inside the Secret Realm but in the whole Universe, alarming major powers. It had nothing to do with her strength but with the concept she represented. contemporary romance

This roar seemed to tell everyone that a new hegemon had been born, ready to take the whole World into a storm with her birth.

At last, Yasenia had fully awakened.
