Chapter 22 - Changes in the Heavenly World

Once we entered Haven I separated myself from the girls and started spread my domain. Before when I first got Haven it was only a 1st Sun Rank Heavenly World it had a landmass of 10km with medium sized canyons, and hills. There was even plants and trees scattered around the place, and near the center, there was a pond.

I had thought there'd be some changes but other than my own changes Haven only has increased in landmass slightly.

Usually, these things would go unnoticed by me but while I was talking with Kuroka and Shirone earlier I got a notification that caused me to examine Haven carefully.

*Ding*[Host's Heavenly World now name "Haven" has already reached the 2nd rank for a period of 2 years but Host has yet to initiate the growth process. This is causing Haven slowly become unstable since Haven is trying to grow without Host's authority. If that happens Host's connection with Haven will be in danger of breaking.]

I've always been able to feel Haven in my sea of conscious so I thought I'd be able to sense the changes too but looks like I was wrong.

Yu - How do I initiate the rank up, process?

Then lots of information was sent to my head and I was fazed for a minute before I started walking to the Nekoshou Village.

----

Once there I passed by man Nekoshou who greeted me until I found Kuroka and Shirone training with the Village Cheif of the VIllage.

Village Cheif - Ah~ Yu-sama what do we our the honor of seeing Yuu-sama here today, from what Kuroka-dono and Shirone-dono said it seemed like you wouldn't be coming today.

Yu - About that, I had a change in plans and I need you to gather all the Nekoshou into one spot.

Village Cheif - My I ask why?

Yu - Haven is about to have so big changes and I'm pretty sure that it'll probably cause some after effects so I want everyone to be in one place before it happens.

Village Cheif - I see... where would you like us to gather?

Yu - Well I'll be initiating the growth from the castle so I think everyone should head towards the castle courtyard to be safe.

Village Cheif - Very well it will be done. Kuroka-dono, Shirone-dono you should go with Yu-sama I'll gather everyone at the castle.

----

The castle that was mention was the giant construction site I built at the center of Haven. It's a work in progress but I plan to have a giant castle here, so far basic scaffolding and foundation have been made but I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.

It looks like an unfinished castle but everyone calls this the castles. There is a pond north of the castle and the Nekoshou village is west of the castle.

After waiting for 30 minutes of 82, Nekoshou made their way into my unfinished courtyard and looked at me. The Village Cheif must have explained the situation to them because the didn't ask any question. I simply nodded and sat in a lotus position.

{Village Cheif Pov}

It was a normal day like always in Haven some villagers went out to gather fruit and vegetables from the surrounding wildlife, others would start tending to the fields we were planting, and the rest would continue the construction of the houses.

Haven, this was the territory of our savior Hyoudou Yu-sama, from what I learned from the two kittens Kuroka-dono and Shirone-dono he was a kind boy who offered to let us stay here since we were shunned by others back at our own home. It was a rich and beautiful place and, the life energy in the air was refreshing while the fruits were delicious.

In our first few months here we had no real homes but we didn't mind and continued our lives, but Yu-sama didn't want that and helped us build houses. This touched many but we always wondered why he was helping us when he hasn't finished his own home.

Everyone saw it, it was a castle in progress, while it wasn't much now I could see from how the foundation was set up that it'll be a fine castle. We tried to ask if he wanted us to help him but he was determined to finish all the village's homes first before he finished his castle, saying things like how we were considered his people now and that he had to take care of his people.

He was a sweet boy and seemed to get along well Kuroka-dono and Shirone-dono so I knew he wouldn't cause harm to us Nekoshou. Months passed again and the village was almost done, but today was different Yu-sama came saying how Haven was going to grow and that he would like everyone to gather.

After sending Yu-sama off I gathered everyone and told them what Yu-sama told me before long we stood before Yu-sama in the castle courtyard. I wanted to ask how Haven would grow but felt like the process was more complicated than I originally believed.

After giving a small nod Yu-sama sat down and I began to feel some change in the world. Gazing up at the sky everyone saw the sky darken leaving only one sun in the sky, but before long all of us felt the ground shake and some even lost their balance falling to the ground.

I was able to stay standing and looked to Yu-sama but his appearance baffled me, emitting from Yu-sama's body were rays of golden aura and it was float to the sky. That aura soon started to attract the surrounding energies and continue its ascension towards the sky. After around an hour, the aura stopped coming out of Yu-sama's body but the aura in the sky continued to act strangely.

It was as if every bit of life force and mana in Haven was being absorbed into that aura. Then after 5 minutes, a small sun was formed in the sky right next to the first sun, after 10 more minutes it the second son grew to the same size as the first.

I wanted to think it was over but then a third sun was formed soon after it was smaller than the other two and it didn't grow to be like the two. After the formation of the suns, the ground continued to shake but this time mana, life force, and other energies started to permeate the air.

Once the shaking stopped all of us could only look at Yuu-sama, I don't think he knew but right now he emitted an oppressive aura, it dominating, and noble, like a Lord, a Ruler, or a King. However, none of use could specifically define this aura because we all began to kneel as if we were pleading our fidelity towards our King.

{Yu's Pov}

*Ding*[Haven has ranked up to a 2nd Sun Heavenly World and Host's influence has affected Haven greatly.]

Yu - [Give me a simple status report]

*Ding*

[- The landscape has changed from 10km to 100km

- Host's Demonic Energy created a Chaos Vein

- Spatial Essense made a Spatial Vein

- Frost Essense made an Ice Vein

- Life Force strengthened the Nature Vien

- Mana strengthened the Mana Vein

- And the blood of the 4 Beasts in Host's bloodline has created four new ecosystems in Haven

- An ocean in the North

- A desert in the South

- A big mountain range in the East

- A big forest in the West

- The Spatial Vein has caused some landmasses to float in the sky

- The Ice Vein has caused an island of ice to form in the ocean]

These changes were big and I wanted to see them for myself, but I knew it would take a while now so I released my Domain which was now connected to Haven and looked around.

The system was able to give me a basic run down of what were the changes so I was prepared for everything but when I saw it through my Domain I was still fascinated by the sight. Floating islands only existed in stories and I had 5 of them floating around in Haven.

Besides that, I saw that the meadow the Nekoshou Village was built in was now in a beautiful valley. When I looked to the pond in front of the castle I saw that it created a 4-meter wide and 5-meter deep moat around the perimeter of the castle.

The moat had a 3-meter river connecting the moat to the ocean a few km away. The canyons in the area got deeper and longer, some hills got bigger, and herbs were found throughout Haven. In one of the floating islands I even found my herb garden still intact but the formations I built there were now gone I'll have to fix that.

All in all this change was one that I welcomed, so I decided to take in my Domain and tell the Nekoshou the changes that have happened to Haven. However, what I saw caused me to swallow the words I was about to say.

Every Nekoshou was kneeling before me with the exception of Kuroka and Shirone who sat on the ground looking at me with eyes full of reverence and passion.

Yu - What's going on?

*Ding*[With the growth of Haven Host unlocked another 7 percent of Host's bloodline]

*Ding*[The entire Nekoshou village has sworn fidelity to Host making Host their lord and King]

*Ding*[Host has taken dominion of over 50km of land as well as gaining the loyalty of its citizens. Host current job had ranked up to [Ancestral King] and 12 percent of Host's bloodline has been unlocked]
