Prelude to Draconic Ruins Realm Arc 1

The blast from the clash of the two attacks shook the entire Eighth Layer of the Nine Layered Death Lands. It is too powerful for an Earthen Fate Realm. But both Nie Lie and all his son's understanding of their corresponding Laws is high. Which increases their attack power at an exponential rate which will make them even fight an Heavenly Fate Realm expert for a period of time.

Acnologia was pushed back for a good Distance but still stood up without falling. But Natsu, Gajeel, Sting, Rouge, Laxus, Luke all were reverted back to their human form and were lying on the floor but still conscious. Nie Long seeing this reverted back to his human form. He looked at the kids with a smile.

" Kids, you all pass your father's test. '' Nie Long after saying that he went towards the kids and released his Heavenly Energy to the Kids. Gradually Natsu and the others became refreshed. Nie Long " Natsu, Gajeel, Laxus, Sting, Rogue, Luke you have made father proud. You have defeated your father. "

Natsu hearing this confused and asked " But you are OK and we are all exhausted and fell to the ground. " Nie Long laughed out and said " Yes, But I wanted to fight you by compressing my Realm to Earthen Fate Realm Peak but at your last attack. I was forced to use the attack at Heavenly Fate Realm. "

He paused for a second and said " Which means, I have been defeated by my sons in the same Realm. " Natsu and the others hearing this smiled happily. Nie Long shook his heads seeing his children, actually he went easy on them by not using Zangetsu, sword intent, Rinnegan and all. If so they will not even have the slightest chance but still the boys exceeded his expectation and also allowed him to see his own shortcomings.

He went to Laxus, he is recuperating by meditation. When he sensed Nie Long is coming towards him, he saw the smiling Nie Long. Laxus " Dad, I .. " before he spoke anything Nie Long said " Son, I am proud of you. When we fought, you said that ' the vision of a son who sits on his father's shoulder will be even beyond of his father. ' That moment made me realise that my sons doesn't need my protection or your mother's. "

After a while Nie Long and the kids were teleported to the Ninth Layer of the Nine Layered Death Lands. The six ambassadors are waiting with eager expression. Unlike the other layers, the Ninth Layer can be said as a piece of Heaven. It has a refreshing atmosphere. Natsu and the others are not that much interested, as they had seen a Grander Heavenly Dragon Palace.

Nie Long " Natsu, Gajeel, Sting, Laxus, Rogue, Luke " he called out and showed them the ambassadors and said " They are the ambassadors of the Divine Sects of the Draconic Ruins Realm. Each of you has already been selected by them as their disciples. You must follow them and obey their words as long as it is not against your morals and you must not show casual attitude to them even if your power far surpass them in the future. Do you understand? "

The Kids said simultaneously " Yes, Father " and then the kids turned towards the ambassadors and greeted them with a polite bow " We greet the Seniors. " The ambassadors are all happy seeing the scene. Heavenly Note Sect Ling Yun first came and selected " Kid Luke, are you willing to be my disciple? " Luke came forward and greeted " Disciple Luke greets master. "

Similarly Gajeel - Phaseless Sect, Laxus - Sky Blaze Sect, Sting - Sky Origin Sect, Rogue - Thousand Flowers Sect. And last Ming Fei selected Natsu for Divine Feathers Sect. Ming Fei came forward and explained " After 2 and half month later you all will be leaving to Draconic Ruins Realm, so spend your time with your Relatives for these period. "

After that Nie Long brought them back to the Heavenly Dragon Palace in Heavenly Dragon Realm. There was Natsu was little Smug and teased Gajeel " Hey Tin can, sorry for you now only I can spend time with father, but you should be alone. It is so Sad. " Gajeel was grinding his teeth but endured.

Nie Long saw the squabble between the Siblings and just chuckled. After a while he met Nova. She is standing at a hill top and watching the stars of the night. Feeling that someone is approaching she turned back and looked. Her every movement in Arceus form is showing her elegence. Nie Long smiled at her. Nova " What happened Long? "

Nie Long " Nothing, just felt that I want to see you. " Nova's eyes showed a glint and then turned Normal, she then asked " Ok, How was our Kids, have they been selected ? " Nie Long just said " See for yourself " He opened his Mangekyo Sharingan and used Tsukuyomi then showed all the Fight and the Decision taken by the ambassadors.

Nova " It seems you are going to Divine Feathers Sect soon. " as. she said that there was a strange Silence. Nie Long " Yes, After bringing her back. I will give you the answer you have been waiting for. " Nova heard it looked at the sky for a while and said " I will always be waiting for you. " Nie Long felt a pain in his heart.

Nova " Ok, why the long face. Don't worry we still have to plan. We don't have enough strength to contend against the Sage Emperor. We must be prepared soon. " Nie Long heard it his expression turned serious said " Yes "

Nie Long after some casual. chit chat said " Nova, do you remember how the entire Realm is filled with Heavenly Energy during the time we met Kong Ming? " Nova answered " Yes, I remember what about it? " At that time my knowledge was shallow so I didn't understand at that time but now I think there is something weird about it. "

Nova " What is weird that you feel? " Nie Long answered " In Earth we have studied Energy can be neither be created nor destroyed but it can transform from one form to another. " He then said " I haEnergy. Then how there is a huge energy is created out of No where? Then the Law of Conservationve verified this for the same Heavenly Energy or Soul Force or Law Energy. It is just one form of of Energy is false? I must verify it. "

Nova " Your question is correct, but to find the right answer we will see to it before you reach Divine Feather Sect " Nie Long " Let's start the experiment. Shall we"
