REUNION 2

 Back at the dragon kingdom, Among the many palaces that made up the whole imperial castle, there was a "small" abode that was located on a mountain peak in the background of the castle. It was so secluded that it was almost unnoticeable. In the abode, countless treasures ranging from gold and jade to mystical weapons and armaments. You could tell that those weapons were mystical just by how they pulsed with energy from time to time as if they were breathing. Among these treasures, there was a huge golden throne that was hundreds of meters in proportion. It was far bigger than the throne of Arman the dragon king. On the throne sat an old man who had a frown on his face. There was a golden glow on his body that pulsed with powerful energy. This old man was Balthazar.

 He had just broken through not long ago. He seemed dumbfounded for some reason. 

"How is this possible, how can there be such a situation?". He said with shock. At his current level of power and age, it was very hard to improve his cultivation. For some people, it was even impossible. In this world, the cultivation levels were divided into the mortal stages and the transcendent stages. The mortal stages were,

Qi GATHERING

QI CONDENSATION

FOUNDATION BUILDING

CORE FORMING 

CORE INFUSION

CORE BEARING

CORE PROFOUND

 GOLDEN CORE 

CORE SOUL 

TRIBULATION TRANSCENDING

The transcendent stages were,

ASCENSION REALM

IMMORTAL REALM

DIVINITY CREATION REALM

DIVINITY SPARK IGNITION REALM

DIVINITY ESTABLISHMENT REALM

GODHOOD!! 

Balthazar as a "long" lived dragon was in the divinity realm, one step away from Godhood. Not long after he came back from visiting his newborn grandson, he broke through! This was unprecedented. At his cultivation level, he knew exactly what caused this, but the cause left him dumbfounded. Before this, he was planning on cultivating hard so that he could break through so that he could provide enough protection to the kingdom for he knew that the birth of his grandson would attract unnecessary attention to the kingdom. He knew it would not be easy, so he came to make preparations for a possible unexpected attack. But now he had broken through to the realm that he had been seeking for millions of years out of nowhere.

 As he was still in shock, the kingdom was welcoming the arrival of the first prince of the kingdom. He arrived with his army of sea troopers. Sitting on the commander's seat of his ship, he looked at the city in doubt. He saw that the citizens were much stronger and vibrant than before he left which was only 200 years ago. Some of them had even evolved and achieved humanoid appearances. He began to doubt his memories he saw that even the unintelligent animals were bigger and stronger, which was unnatural. He arrived at the main palace where he was greeted by the servants and guards. He saw that they too looked much stronger than before. He was escorted into the palace by a servant. " How are you, announce my arrival to my parents and lead me to my brother's chambers for I have a gift for him". He said to the servant cheerfully.

"Yes, Your Highness". The servant responded politely and led the way. As he was being led to his brother he looked around at the passing servants and guards who all had brilliant smiles on their faces. Even the stoic guards had smiling eyes as they passed by. "Why is everyone so happy and seems stronger than the last time I visited?". He couldn't help but ask. 

"Your Highness, it is because of the young Highness that they are so happy. There is a rumor that the birth of the prince is the cause of the citizen's sudden leap in strength. Everyone is happy that his birth has brought such gifts to the kingdom". The servant answered with a smile. 

When he heard this, he was a bit shocked but still had his doubts." How is this possible? How did this happen, when did this happen"? he asked again in doubt. "Your Highness, it was right after the powerful roar hours ago during his birth. As for how it happened, no one has any idea except for the royal court. It has been attributed to the blessings of his birth, but no one knows how it is possible".

 As they were conversing, they had unknowingly arrived at Sly's chambers. It just so happened that the king, queen, and Kayla were almost about to enter his room." Baele greets mother and father ". He greeted them to which they responded calmly. Baele was their second eldest child, the younger brother of Kayla." Hello brother". Kayla greeted cheerfully. "How have you been son"? their mother asked him with a smile." I have been good, Mother". He responded with a calm smile." I came to see my brother, is he All

right?" he asked.

 "Why don't you come see for yourself". Arman responded with a smile on his face as he opened the door. Just as they were about to go inside, they heard loud sounds coming from outside the palace." The second prince is home, the second prince is home!!". As they heard the noise coming from outside, the king suddenly became gloomy while the rest had amused smiles. the palace door was opened brazenly by a man who walked in with large steps. It was the bare-chested man from the island before. When they saw him, the king's lips twitched a little as he looked at him with a dark look, as if looking at his greatest "enemy". Baele smiled brilliantly at this while Kayla looked at him with an annoyed look, the queen just looked on with an amused smile.

The man looked at them with a big childish grin on his face." I, your father, am home. Did you miss me!?" he said as he swaggered to meet them.
