Wandering thoughts

Odin had arrived in the early morning but the Ikke family was very busy as today was their annual ranking match. The annual ranking match was not just for cultivators of the family but for every junior.

The ranking was made into two parts one was cultivation ranking and the other was talent ranking. The cultivation ranking tested the junior cultivators of the family to see if they were ready to go out of the family and become true cultivators.

The talent ranking was for those that had either low or no talent in cultivation but had talents in other fields like business or arts. The Ikke family did not discriminate against people that couldn't cultivate as their family ancestors couldn't and he brought the family to a new level that was not inferior to the main family.

The family was very bonded and would always help one another even where there were disputes they would be handled correctly to satisfy everyone involved.

The sun was finally starting to fully show itself Odin enjoyed as the warmth started to caress his skin. He was led by Ikke to the family arena where the cultivation ranking would start.

'Huh hope I can find something there if not it's just going to be people fighting which is boring genocided is way more entertaining that this pansy shit.' Odin thought as he saw the juniors of the family walk towards the arena.

Some stared and pointed at him as they saw him being led by Ikke and others were focused on the ranking to care.

Odin sat next to Ikke and the patriarch arrived soon after and sat next to him. The area was filled with both old and young faces some of the older people had reminiscent looks while others looked at the young with hope.

The patriarch was the same he remembered his youth and how he scored highly on the test and became the patriarch not much later on. It had been 290 years since he became patriarch when he was 30 it felt like not long ago but most elders here were not even 200 he was the last of his generation.

He looked at the young one with hope that a new patriarch would be born and he would outshine him leading the family to an even better path.

The patriarch regathered himself and stood up and asked Odin to join him on the stand. Odin followed and stood next to the patriarch as he looked around.

"With that, I leave our family's new elder to give a few encouraging words." the patriarch said as he concluded his speech he motioned for Odin to take the microphone.

'Fucking bitch how can I make a fucking speech without time good thing I can do this.' Odin thought as he slowed his perception of time and increased his thought processing.

'Ok, what's a good motivational speech I'm only good at demoralizing fuck why throw this shit at me should I just kill this family and save the trouble?'

'No, I need them, for now, ok Odin you can deal with a little responsibility, after all, I need them so I also have to also give them a piece of the pie.'

Odin thought for a few minutes but to others, it was not more than a second as he walked to the microphone with an expression only a few close to him knew. He was going to say the first thing that came to mind and roll with it one could only hope he didn't start another war like he did last time.

"The brightest stars shine on long after they're gone none of you know how your legend will be heard but you must not focus on the future but on today remember in the end tomorrow is a hope, not a promise." Odin said as he randomly mixed words into a sentence.

'Now that I think about that must be my wisest quote I have said after mixing up different thoughts heh.' Odin thought as he started to leave.

The people clapped as Odin returned to his seat the patriarch looked at him with a smile and whispered.

"That was truly inspiring."

'Either no one has common sense or there's a lack of wise quotes or it's my identity either way I don't care far above my pay grade.' Odin thought as he looked at the people around.

"Want another one?" odin said jokingly.

"Yes." the patriarch replied.

'Fuck you and your mother fuck now I have to make some random shit up.' odin regretted his joke.

"In the quest for power there is no price too high no life is too valuable no ideal is too sacred." odin said after he looked over his memories for a quote.

'Wish I had google or the web ha this is quite sad.' odin thought as he closed his eyes to adjust his mood.

The ranking started quickly after his speech many people fought and showed their skills. Odin didn't bother with the fight as he was lost in thought about his next move.

'So I have to deal with the energy surge in a few years which will be easy but the problem is the instability that will happen as people raise to the divine realm and above.'

'The first to break through to the prince realm is Odin he is already at the peak but he can't make a breakthrough but also this is a good time as I'm split up what's better than one being that created reality 20 of them.' Odin said as he smirked the patriarch thought he liked the fight between his greatx2 granddaughter and felt happy.

'Hmm, what the fuck is that fighting style it's like a worm and a koala had a baby that taught itself to fight.' Odin said as he watched the two women fight.

'Note to remember people here are dumb so don't become surprised when they can't even comprehend simple logic then again I guess I surpass logic but eh fuck it.' Odin rolled his eyes and his thoughts wandered again.
