19 Talent Rank

"Get on the Heavens Will Platform, as for you, you should return back to your spirit state and enter Belus soul, your masters strength isn't capable of keeping you here for a couple more minutes" Leviant Quin said to both Helios and Belus.

"Yes" Helios said in his deep voice as he disappears from view entering Belus body.

Belus didn't understand what was going on, as he looked at Helios body disappearing and entering his.

"Master you can not maintain my materialized form for more than a hand full of minutes, reason being is because of your lack of cultivation." Helios said inside of Belus head.

"His voice is my my head" Belus said.

"Well ofcourse it is, he is your contracted spirit after all. I didn't have the time earlier to explain to you what he was, as i could see in your expression that you tried to understand but yet couldn't"

"You see child, the world is much, much more vast than you can ever imagine, even if you are at the Gold realm which in your planet is revered as one of the highest position for a kingdom is actually nothing but a drop of water in the vast ocean. Experts call the stages from the Copper Realm all the way until Platinum realm, the infant stages to cultivation, as for whats after the infant stage you don't need to bother for now focus on your cultivation to get better. This platform serves two purposes a second chance at reevaluation on your talent rank and also a place with rich density in magic qi ans spiritual qi." Leviant Quin explained.

Belus nods at Leviant Quin seemingly understanding what he is trying to say, he needs to tackle the infant stages of cultivation before he is even able to contend with higher powers. Belus didn't care so much for more power like Leviant Quin thought, he just wanted enough power to kill those who had harmed Zena.

"Stop wasting time child and get on the Heavens will platform already" Leviant Quin said gesturing for him to hurry on with it.

Belus approached the Heavens will platform, he stood in the middle of the platform. Leviant Quin told him to place a drop of his blood on the stone altar that is infront of him.

Belus place's his hand over the stone altar, he punctures his finger with his nail letting blood flow out, As soon as the blood hit the stone altar on the Heavens will platform it started to shine multiple diffrent colors. Belus focused on the center of the platform were a hologram image of his talent rank is shown.

"The God's have already taken enough from me, i need this to avenge Zena, please, please be something that is worthy for me to be able to avenge my son" Belus said to himself as he looked at the hologram.

Belus seemed calm on the outside, yet on the inside his heart was ponding very hard, he didn't know what to expect. Belus trusts in Leviant Quin words, since he had gotten a new body his talent rank should also be diffrent.

"I had enough of being a cripple, i couldn't save my family, my son was brutally murdered by his own mother, atleast there is hope in bringing him back that will all depend on this" Belus said to himself as he started to become more anxious the more time it took.

Leviant Quin sat back on his throne while watching everything unfold on the platform, He feels the anxiousness in Belus heart even if he isn't showing it outwardly the anticipation and worry in Belus eye's say alot more than his body can.

"I just hope he is the key that master told me about" Leviant Quin said to himself.

Since the first day Belus arrived in his domain Leviant Quin already knew who he was, he didn't want Belus to know that he knew who he was. Leviant Quin master made it clear to not inform his son of anything and that he should walk his own path in life. Leviant Quin never understood why his master could be so harsh to his own son, he only knows that he is the key for him to get out of this underworld. Belus has to be atleast at the talent rank of 10 for him to be the key.

The Heavens will platform platform started to shine more brightly then ever before, illuminating the whole palace with its bright light.

A number pops up on the hologram, both Belus and Leviant Quin focus on the number the shown on the hologram.

Both exlaim at the same time when they see the number. disappointment could be seen on both of their faces as they look at the number.

"I guess he isn't the key that master talked about" Leviant Quin said to himself sadly.

"5, only 5!" Belus said with unwillingness to accept the rank he has been given.

s

Sadness strikes Belus heart as he knows that he wouldn't be able to get revenge with that kind of talent very fast.

The higher someones talent is the faster they will able to cultivate and use the qi in the environment. The difference between each rank of talent is ten times the ability to cultivate the qi in the environment. What could take one year for a rank 5 to cultivate will take a ten years for a rank 4 in talent to cultivate to get the same results. Belus understood this aspect of where the talented are truly the ones who rule the world and the people with no talent are considered peasants or pests to society.

The memories of the past start to haunt him at everyturn in his mind, as he remembers the bulling, the struggles he has been through. The time when he couldn't protect his wife or family from an ambush, the death of zena all flash in his eye's as he looks at the hologram infront of him.

(BUZZZ,BUZZZ) The Heavens will platform suddenly started to buzz as Belus was lost in his thoughts. Belus awakens from his thoughts of disappointment only to see the talent rank change on the platform.

(6,7,8,9.... 17.) The Heavens will platform stopped at the number 17. A blast of light shined in the background of the platform form, it was a multicolored light showing the elements Belus has affinity towards.

Leviant Quin looks at the number in shock as he himself could not believe what had happened.

"Im sorry to have doubted your words earlier master, he is more than just the key he is our hope" Leviant Quin said to himself excitingly as he looked at the number on the platform not believing it himself.

Belus breaks down crying when he sees the number on the hologram, his crying wasn't due to sadness it was tears of joy for the first time in a while.

"The God's haven't abandoned me" Belus said to himself while crying.

"Congratulations master for you have proven to be worthy to be my master" Helios said in his deep voice in Belus head.

Belus heard Helios and a smile apeeared on his face as now he found the hope he was looking for to avenge his son, this alone is able to satisfy himself for a life time, knowing that he will have the power to kill those who hurt his son.

"Congratulations child, you have not disappointed me, what element do you have affinity towards?" Leviant Quin asked while congratulating Belus on his high rank.

Leviant Quin didn't want to show how exicted he was in witnessing a miracle. Leviant Quin remmbered that in the last ten thousand years their hasn't been anyone at the rank of 17 in talent. Leviant Quin didnt want to tell Belus that as he felt that he will rely on his talent and not his foundation which will hurt him in the future.

"I do not know what element i have affinity towards, it just shows a rainbow" Belus said while looking at the rainbow background on Heavens Will platform.

"WHAT" Leviant Quin said in shock.

"A multicolor like a rainbow means he has affinity towards more than three different types of elements" Leviant Quin said to him self in shock.

Leviant Quin couldn't help but let a gasp escape his mouth when Belus told him about his affinity.

"Child you are truly chosen from the Heavens, let me see your hand i will be able to tell you what affinity you have" Leviant Quin said excitedly as he didn't give Belus enough time to even say anything as he already pulled his hand to check his affinity.

Leviant Quin gasps in shock as he feels the elements that Belus has affinity towards.

"You have affinity towards, Fire, Darkness, Light and Soil. Soil and fire complement one another as it covers both your strength along with your defense, as for light and darkness the are both polar opposites of one another. I dont recommend cultivating them at the same time as they will both resist one another causing damage to your cultivation. Child you should choose one or the other, that decision will be left for you to handle."

"Child you need to hurry and cultivate the Qi inside of the platform or else it will all go to waste, heres the cultivation method that should help you the most" Leviant Quin said

Leviant Quin sends an information transmission to Belus, feeling this is the best choice for him and the four elements he has.

Belus looks over the cultivation methods that Leviant Quin had sent to him. "Darkness Sutra" Belus read the contents of Darkness Sutra he felt for some reason that this cultivation is the one most suited for him.

Belus enters back into the Heavens Will platform to cultivate the Qi inside.

"I promise you Zena that i will taste the blood of the people who hurt you very soon"
