Chapter 4: The 10 Levels

In each kingdom, a humongous and mysterious gate suddenly appeared on the sky, making the people beneath look at it with admiration.

The mysterious gate was made of fine ordinary-like black metals and exudes an overwhelming pressure.

"And now, let's the fun begins!" The heavenly man said as he flicked his fingers again.

Suddenly, the closed door began letting a screeching sounds as the gate slowly opened. The inside of the gate give an eerie and unknown pressure to those who's been wanting to enter it.

"Roaarrrr!!" A loud uproar suddenly echoed from the inside while its sound waves almost travel the entire world.

Some people who's lower than Ultimate State became weak and kneeled on the floor.

"What.. what kind of beast is that?! So.. so strong!" A man suddenly said as he supported his wife.

"Oh my god! That's definitely a dragon!! A dragon!" An excited young warrior said as his eyes shone brightly.

"So much pressure! That must be an Immortal State beast!" A certain 9ld man aid as he clutched his beard.

"Frank, Elise, and Eldrin, you should be careful inside the ancient ground. It seems that this gate is holding the real ancient ground that holds many Worldly God's Weapon and Worldly God's Cultivation and so on. Don't watse this opportunity!" Frank's father said towards the three as he let a meaningful smile.

"Don't worry, Uncle! If there's a danger, I'll do my best to make the three of us run away!" Eldrin said confidently, gloating his turbo.

"Hahaha!! As expected of you, Eldrin. Then I'll not be worried now." Frank's father said with a chuckle before patting Eldrin's head.

"Tsk... Who needs your help? I move faster than you!" Frank said with an annoyed tone.

"And I can use my magic string to blink at a distance." Elise said, making her brother lose face.

"Hahaha!" Frank's father just let a chuckle from watching these three children.

"Mother.. don't worry. I'll protect Icy." Carl said while he look at the sky with determination.

"You can just find sister Sofia there! I can go on my own!" Icy said as she doesn't want any protection. She's already strong enough.

"Eh? Sofia? Who's this girl?" Carl's mother asked as she became curious. She didn't expect that her son will be in love. It seems that her worry is not really true.

"Icy is just speaking nonsense! Who is that Sofia? I didn't know any name like that!" Carl instantly denied to erase the doubt in his mother's heart.

"Ah, Icy.. don't be insensitive again in the future, got it?" Carl's mother believe what Carl said and scold Icy.

"But... okay, I got it!" Icy was speechless and didn't speak further.

"Hmm... So you didn't know sister Sofia huh." As the two went further from the palace, Icy let a bright smirk.

"You!!" Carl feels like his little sister were up to no good.

'Icy is just speaking nonsense! Who is that Sofia? I didn't know any name like that!' a sound coming from a green crystal echoed, making Carl's sweat.

"You!! Give me that!" Carl's tried to snatch the crystal recorded, but it seems that he underestimated his little sister.

"Hehehe... I hope I can meet sister Sofia there and give her this recording. With how may suitors she have, I wonder if a certain boyfriend of her will be able to sleep soundly." Icy teased his brother.

"So, tell me what do you want!" Carl can't imagine what his little sister said and asked for a bargain.

"Give me the Frost Bead that you got from the previous ancient ground." Icy became serious.

"What?! But... That will be my gift to Sofia's upcoming birthday!" Carl exclaimed since he can't accept such bargain.

"Aren't we going to this ancient ground? And also, sister Sofia isn't suitable with frost or ice, she's more suitable if you would give her Magic bead instead." Icy explained as she really must need to get hold of the frost bead in her brother's hand.

"But I don't know where to find magic bead." Carl seems problematic.

"Hehe... Do I really need to take the burden of your problems? Okay, it seems you don't want to accept my offer." Icy said before intending to leave.

"Wait.. wait! Fine! Here, this is the bead and give me the recording!" Carl was forced to take the bargain.

As Icy finally got hold of the Frost Bead, her aura suddenly intensified as the energy in her body began boiling like lava.

Icy devoured the Frost Bead that makes her body filled with golden energy. This golden energy gives off a powerful aura.

The golden energy in her body began rotating at her stomach forming a vortex. As the golden energy began to be swallowed, the power that Icy exudes became even more terrifying.

A moment later, no golden energy can be found in her body but the pressure is much greater compared to before. It seems that Icy has finally stepped in the mid level of Divine State (500,000,000 energy power).

"What the!! You.. you actually breakthrough?!" Carl didn't expect for her sister to breakthrough! She even surpassed him!!

The state level in this world were divided by ten levels, the normal state (100 - 15,000 energy power), the special state (15,001 - 50,000 energy power), the ultimate state (50,001 - 100,000 energy power), the supreme state (100,001 - 1 million energy power), the divine state (1 million and 1 - 1 billion energy power) the immortal state (1 billion and 1 - one hundred billion energy power), the saint state ( One hundred billion and 1 - Ten trillion energy power), the god state (Ten trillion and 1 - 1 quadrillion energy power), the heavenly god state (1 quadrillion and 1 - 500 quadrillion energy power) and lastly the Worldly God state (500 quadrillion and 1 - One quintillion).

Each state has an identifiable feature that differ each state from one another. In normal state, you only get golden energy. In special state, you can control energy and get it out of your body. In ultimate state, you can create an armor from your golden energy that will strengthen one's defense. In supreme state, one will have spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is beneficial to all individual so one must not only hone their golden energy but also the spiritual energy. The golden is outside while spiritual is inside.

In Divine state, one's golden energy will be absorb by the spiritual, making a spiritual ocean inside one's body. The spiritual ocean can be used for strengthening one's life weapon and make the connection between the weapon and its owner be closer to each other. This will give a boost to one's fighting momentum. The spiritual ocean can also be used to release pressure that can shake your opponent. It can also attack soul, so one must need to be wary of it.

In immortal state, one must need to filter the golden energy that was devoured in the spiritual ocean before making it as one's life energy armor. The energy armor can be dismantle and be fused and used in fighting but will always revert to being an armor. It is called immortal state since the created energy armor will never be destroyed nor the energy will be lost unless the person dies.

In saint state, one can levitate in the air by using their golden energy. Having the ability to fly will make it harder for an opponent to defeat you. One must need to accumulate golden energy again and filter it with the use of spiritual ocean. One's body filled with golden energy can make a person have the ability to control their own weight, making them able to levitate.

In god state, one must have a domain that will create a field. One can control the field from their domain according to how they wishes and will have the attributes that is advantageous towards them. One can also suppress an enemy inside the domain, giving them more advantage in a battle. The domain is also related to one's divine skill. To create a domain, you must integrate with the earth and use the golden energy to form a formation in your soul that will hold your domain.

In heavenly god state, one will fuse a certain bone in their body with spiritual energy and golden energy. The bone will be called as Origin Bone, which can regenerate one's body as long as the origin bone will not be destroyed. The Origin bone will also be the storage of your life energy.

In worldly god state, one must integrate with the heaven's will, and gain their approval to have the ability to use some portion of its power.

"Hehehe... It seems that I'm stronger than you now." Icy said with a smirk, annoying Carl.

"Father, can I borrow your Dragon's wand?" Sofia said to her father with pleading eyes.

Seeing his daughter using this tactics again, Sofia's father felt wronged since despite the number of times gis daughter do this, he still fell for it.

"Okay, okay, but you better treasure it! It's an Immortal level weapon. If I let you use my Invincible Wand, you will be killed since the people won't focus on the ancient ground but in your Worldly God level weapon instead." Sofia's father said as he felt worried about his daughter.

"Thank you, father!" Sofia said in a soft and sweet voice that attack her father's heart.

Sofia's father took out a golden wand with sculpture of a dragon. The wand exudes a terrifying aura.

"Sofia, listen to mother. I will only tell you this, so better listen to it." Sofia's mother who was just watching felt the need to give her daughter as well.

"Oh, Heavenly Man, Mighty in heaven, Lend me your power, Power that transcend all power, To dispel evil, And to protect home. God's Blessing!" Sofia's mother enchant a spell but before the spell take effect, she dispel it.

"Wow! Mother is so awesome!!" Sofia said in excitement as she memorized the spell.

"Be careful with using that! With current state now, you can only use 1/5 of its power so just use it when you're about to die. That god's level magic spell needs golden energy to activate but use spiritual energy to prolong it and ot won't run out unless you're the one who run out of spiritual energy." Sofia's mother said in a loving tone.

"I got it, mother." Sofia said before bidding her goodbye to her parents and go towards the Gate.

"Mother, Father, I'll go now to the ancient ground." Robin said as he held the mysterious bow.

The mysterious bow was filled with intense fighting intent that makes the bow as big as the world. The bow was curved in a bizzare way and its string was even thick and three in number. The center of the bow hold an energy bead, covering the bow with golden energy.

"Okay, be careful with your journey." Robin's father said as he watched the fading back of his son.
