Chapter 1014 Development 3

The energy converged above them and formed images of their Sun Star, Moon Satellite and Terra Planet. The three of them slowly became more solid as the energy within the trio surged and then the three celestial bodies began to spin around each other.

They soared higher and higher until they literally entered the void of the universe, growing in size and power. They soon began to absorb Worldly Energy crazily to solidify themselves and facilitate their creation.

All the while, the Evil trio remained seated with their eyes closed, feeling the changes in a different way.

After the three celestial bodies formed their physical selves, they arranged themselves properly, with the sun in the center, the planet a few millions kilometers away and the moon orbiting the planet.

The moment this was completely and the celestial bodies began to rotate as well as revolve, an explosion seemed to occur within the laws of the universe as the three celestial bodies each shot down a light that struck their creators.

Draco's was bluish-black, Eva's was reddish-white and Shaungtian's was brownish-green. It pulled them away from the castle and onto the Celestial Bodies themselves, Draco on the moon, Eva on the sun and Shuangtian on the planet.

When they got there, they were surprised and looked around. However, they felt the celestial bodies beneath them shake greatly and something came out of the ground.

It floated for a short while then plunged into their bodies, entering the core of their beings and into their very souls, shocking the trio.

However, that wasn't as shocking as what came next.

｢System to Player Announcement

You have merged your Moon Satellite (Sun Star, Terra Planet) with the others to form a Solar System. As such, you have lost the benefits of having the celestial bodies within you, but the combined merge of the three planets has elevated you into a True God!｣

Draco, Eva and Shuangtian could feel explosive changes within them and they understood that this was no joke. They were actually going to become fully fledged True Gods, with both the Combat Rank and Source Origin!

Draco instantly tore opened a hole in space and brought Eva and Shuangtian back to the isle in the void. All three had gloomy expressions as becoming True Gods now would utterly ruin all their plans and force them to start things they didn't want yet.

As the upgrade was going on, they gritted their teeth and resisted using their bloodline to suppress it, as Draco roared.

"Stop! We don't want to become True Gods yet!"

｢System to Player Announcement

There is a blockage on the fusion between the player and the Solar System, preventing them from becoming a True God. If this continues, the player's upgrade will fail!｣

Draco, Eva and Shaungtian's hearts skipped as they read this and they couldn't help but hesitate. To lose this chance for nothing was truly painful, but they would have other chances later.

As such, they could only grit their teeth and go through with it. They suppressed the budding power within them brutally, and this caused the three of them to spit a mouthful of blood.

｢System to Player Announcement

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the upgrade to True God could not occur. However, the Solar System retracted its upgrade power and is storing it for its creators, there for them to take whenever they wish.｣

｢System to Player Announcement

A higher power has intervened and allowed player Draco, Riveting Night and Jade Empress to withhold True God transformations and combine them all later!

Note: Maximum stackable upgrades are 5. Current stacked upgrades is 1.｣

Seeing this,m the faces of the Evil Trio relaxed greatly. The AI had come in clutch and covered their asses. With this, Draco could also take his Blacksmithing and Alchemy to the God Rank without fear, because he had always being troubled by how to seal with the transformation.

After all, just like with a Combat Rank, when a Tradeskill Grandmaster upgraded to the God Rank, they would be given a True God title of that Tradeskill and a Divine Source Origin.

So if Draco did so, he would become a True God and leave Eva as well as Shuangtian behind. That would be a problem for sure, so he had been agonizing over it, but this solved most of his problems.

The trio shared a look and relaxed. Their passives and actives from their solar system individual celestial bodies were retained since they didn't upgrade, but the physical entires themselves did not return into them.

So was they had was a projection of sorts, and they could call on the ability to use the various active skills that came with them.

Hey, it was a pretty good compromise in the end.

Draco and the two supreme beauties returned to the castle and entered their room to rest. They had take a small backlash from rejecting the upgrade, so this was necessary.

After resting and before working on his Tradeskills, Draco decided to grow the Bodhi Tree and merge it with the Eternal Tree.

As such, he came to the center of the island in the void and stood near the Eternal tree. After looking it up and down, he walked a few meters away and took out the Seed of the Bodhi tree.

｢System to Player Announcement

Detected fusion item. A merger will be performed in order to validate ownership. Proceed?｣

Draco proceeded and the seed fused into his body, causing him to close his eyes. He then waved a hand and in the space before him, a sprout rushed up which was nourished by the endless Divine Energy in this realm, growing larger and larger with each second.

It eventually matured into a fully grown Bodhi Tree that was 50 meters in height and had a very wide crown. It was beautiful and radiated an aura of wisdom and intelligence.

Note: How to use this energy must be discovered by the user.

Description: This is the Tree of Enlightenment, a legendary and unique tree that can enhance the power of the mind and soul of those who meditate under its boughs. It is the tree that once belonged to a great being who achieved enlightenment in seven days and ascended into the Eternal World.｣

Draco looked at the benefits of the tree and was definitely impressed. It wasn't a simple thing at all, and its potency could not be underplayed. Whether it was the increase in Intelligence and Spirit or the production of Spiritual Energy, both had benefits that couldn't easily be explained.

However, the first active was even more mind blowing in the sense that it could instantly raise anyone by one Rank, up to the Divine Rank! Of course, the cooldown was also frightening.

However, Draco knew a little something that could fix this…

｢System to Player Announcement

Detected Eternal Tree and Bodhi Tree presence within the same realm. Due to clashes of power, both items cannot exist separately and must be fused together to maintain stability. Proceed?｣

The fallout was far weaker, and this time the Eternal Tree easily swallowed up the Bodhi Tree after Draco agreed, unlike the first time when the whole Inner Universe almost collapsed.

After a few seconds and the complete disappearance of the Bodhi tree, the eternal tree grew a little in size and its leaves began to emit a white sparkle that made all living things feel their intelligence increasing.

Passive 8 – Soul Society: With the Eternal Tree as a foundation, all living beings within the sub-universe will have perfected souls for their species.

Description: This is an existence that far surpasses the bounds of what should globally exist, something that forcibly breaks the pre-established limits set upon the world… because it stands above it! Its limits, its power, and its potential simply cannot be gauged or measured by any reasonable standard, and its goals are also a mystery that can never be solved…｣

Seeing the two new passive, which were number 7 and 8, which took the strongest aspects of the Bodhi tree and made them permanent. Especially Passive 7, which meant that everyone here would become Origin Gods sooner or later!

For his kids, that was a given, but for his wives other than Eva and Shuangtian, it would have been tough.

Draco checked the status of the entire Inner Universe.

"Hm?" Tianzi raised his head and was shocked.

"Xue'er, do you feel that?" he asked his partner with surprise.

Xue'er, the Phoenix Ancestor was also startled. She rose to her feet and flew up with the Dragon Ancestor, Tianzi, and observed the isle in the void.

"I feel it! Its actually pure Spiritual Energy!" Xue'er muttered with shock.

One should know, after they left the Tower's cultivation floors, they had been forcibly converted to the power system of Western Fantasy, so they weren't pure cultivators anymore.

They were Immortal Emperors in cultivation terms, which was equivalent to peak Rank 7. The next stage would have been the Heavenly Saint realm, which was equivalent to a Titled God.

However, their cultivation was forcibly halted and they now had to gather this crap called 'experience' to level up. They had initially stayed within the Morningstar Universe to cultivate because they found that Aether Crystals - which were Immortal Stones back in their world - could be converted to exp slowly, just like cultivating.

With pure Spiritual energy here, they could do a lot of things! It also meant that their power system switched back to how it was before, allowing them to regain their Immortal Emperor power!
