Celestial Bloodline - Chapter 625: Tell us what rank you reached

Inside the hidden room, Kyle stepped back from the symbols floating in front of him, radiating a brilliant light. As he gazed upon them, the light dispersed along with the symbols, and his surroundings began to transform, revealing a scene that was not truly tangible but merely a fragment of memory stored within the symbols.

“Hmm?”

He squinted at the scene in front of him. It appeared somewhat illusory, but the first things that caught his eyes were a woman’s back and her flowing dark hair. She was inscribing symbols on the walls.

Kyle sidestepped to see her face and noticed a pair of icy-hued eyes.

She wore a mischievous smile as she swiftly finished inscribing the symbols meant to attract divine and spiritual energy. Then, she slyly changed her position and began etching symbols intended to capture fragments of memory on the walls. But her smile turned into a sigh when suddenly a deep voice echoed behind her.

“Lilith, I can see what you are doing. So, stop it, will you? If you’re done, come help me. We need to finish our work if we want this place to be completed soon.”

Kyle turned his head toward the voice and noticed a male figure standing in the middle of the room. A pair of cyan eyes combined with platinum blonde hair. He was tall, even more than Kyle, and had a aloof expression on his face as he crafted one golden orb after another with just a wave of his hand before letting them float in the room.

A scowl creased his brows when he saw Lilith still etching symbols on the wall in front of her despite his words.

“Hey, don’t get on my nerves. I’m already irritated that we’re stuck with this pointless task. Why must we handle it ourselves? We are already the strongest in this universe. Can’t we delegate it to those beneath us?”

Lilith paused, shooting back an irked look.

“Why all the griping? The one putting in the most effort hasn’t even uttered a word!”

She pointed towards another individual, and Kyle immediately spotted a man seated on the ground a short distance away from the man standing in the middle of the room.

He moved closer and noticed dark hair. The seated man was quietly planting numerous herbs after digging the land. Kyle wanted to see the man’s face, but the figures in front of him distorted, as expected due to the age of the symbols. Nevertheless, despite the distortion, the voices of the people around him remained clear.

“Huh, don’t you even mention him, Lilith, because he is also getting on my nerves just like you. He could just snap his fingers and plant all those herbs in a second. But no, both of you have to take forever and waste my valuable time!”

Kyle stepped forward, moving a little closer to the three figures before him. He used his spiritual energy to clarify the scene. It somewhat worked, and Lilith’s face became visible once more. She glared at the tall man with clear anger in her eyes.

“Precious time? I remember we agreed to do this ourselves to engrave our legacy in this universe. So, the people in this universe won’t forget who we are once we ascend to the Celestial realm. You were also the one who supported this idea, and now you are whining because we have to work?”

Kyle started to lose interest. It seemed he had wasted his time just to witness some people quarreling with each other. Plus, as time passed, the voices of the people before him began to get all mixed up.

“But I do want to know more about that Celestial realm the woman mentioned, but her voice is getting hard to grasp…”

He tapped into his spiritual energy once more, but this time, his actions caused the scene playing before him to grow even more messy. Kyle let out a sigh as he glanced at the herb garden.

“Well, I guess I can’t pluck anything from the garden yet since Yue and the others need to use the platform. It wouldn’t be good if the platform malfunctioned because I took the herbs.”

Just as he was about to leave, his ears twitched as among the two jumbled voices encircling him, he caught onto a few words. Or more specifically, he grasped the words because, for some reason, they sounded familiar as if he had heard them before.

“Ice Enchantress? That’s quite a grand title, fitting for her since she’s one of the people who built this place. But I wonder where I have heard it before?”

Kyle took one final glance at the three figures made of energy and disappeared from the space. The moment he withdrew his spiritual energy, the scene within the room fragmented into particles. A faint, sorrowful sob reverberated in the empty space as the dissolving particles once again coalesced to form Lilith’s bloodied figure, desperately etching a few more symbols into the walls.

“I know no one will ever know what happened in this place. But I hope… someone out there would find that we killed the human inside him completely together in this very place.”

The voice faded in the air, and the figure dispersed into particles. At the same time, Kyle reappeared outside the structure, only to find Yue, Asher, Jian, and the two beasts observing the memory playing before them with curiosity.

They were all stunned as the scene unfolding before them fragmented into particles since Kyle had already retracted his spiritual energy. Kyle tapped Jian’s shoulder, causing the man to jolt.

“Oh… it’s you.”

Jian sighed in relief, and everyone scrutinized Kyle from head to toe. He had effectively masked his strength, leaving them unable to sense it at all. Bia landed on his shoulder with a curious expression.

-“So… first, tell us what rank you reached. Then we will discuss the memory we just witnessed because I’m sure you went above the first stage of the transcendent rank.”

Kyle observed the dissipating particles.

“The last stage of the transcendent rank.”
