Celestial Bloodline

Interest sparked in Kyle's eyes, and he asked the old man to share more about the Sacred Divine Land, but Hubert didn't have any additional information besides the location of that place.

Kyle let out a hum. Anyway, he would uncover more on his own once he reached the Sacred Divine Land. After an hour, he was floating before the grey field that encased the entire No Mana Land tightly.

As he extended his hand toward the grey field, his hand smoothly traversed the thick layer with minimal resistance. However, before he could leave, Hubert, who had been following him all along, for some reason, spoke up from behind.

"It's been a long time, but Kyle, you asked me once to remind you of this when you are leaving this land... You want to kill the Shadow generals and many other enemies you might forget with time. You said to tell you that if your gut feeling is telling you to kill someone, you should do it because that person could very well be someone who had tried to take your life in the past."

Kyle's lips curled into a smirk, and he cast one final glance back at the old man.

"Thanks for the reminder, master."

He stepped into the grey field that stretched out to make way for him, but before he vanished into the field completely, he heard the old man's last words which brought a faint yet genuine smile to his face.

"Rascal! If you ever find yourself in grave danger that threatens your life, throw the spear you have stolen into the air and it will come find me, and I will come to help you immediately!"

After some time, Kyle sucked in a deep breath as he stepped out of the grey field that rippled behind him before closing together as if it had never opened at all.

He lifted his eyes to look at the numerous spatial tunnels brimming with turbulent currents encircling the No Mana Land and the expansive dark void ahead, littered with sizable shattered land pieces drifting aimlessly in all directions.

Kyle extended his hand and touched the current flowing out from one of the spatial tunnels nearest to him. The current slithered on his fingers before traveling toward his arm like a snake. However, it vanished as it lost its strength, leaving behind a faint ticklish sensation.

"I have learned to manipulate the natural elements around me using spells just like mages, but I wonder if I can also control the space around me and create such spatial tunnels. It seems achievable..."

"...I just require more time."

He muttered quietly before, with a blink, he utilized the spiritual energy within his body to disappear from his location and swiftly traveled a large distance away from the place in just a split second.

As his body materialized outside the magnetic field that enveloped the scattered pieces of land around the No Mana Land, his eyes flashed with surprise as two foreign yet oddly familiar energies rushed into his body desperately. In an instant, a refreshing sensation coursed through Kyle's body, and he somewhat felt overwhelmed as his body once again began to absorb mana and Divine energy.

Kyle could clearly see the countless transparent particles clinging to his body. He shut his eyes and guided the mana and divine energy inside his body for a while before they started to flow naturally in his body like spiritual energy.

Suddenly, the dark space around him started to quiver slightly, and he watched as the divine energy in his surroundings gathered around him to create a delicate veil of divinity. The veil dispersed in every direction with a gentle rustle and Kyle felt a slight enhancement in his strength.

"Hmmm..."

He clenched and unclenched his fist as he finally ascended to the Divine rank after so many years.

However, reaching the Divine rank didn't grant him a significant increase in strength; instead, it just doubled the reserve of divine energy his body could store. Regardless, it doesn't matter as his physique had already reached a rank beyond the Divine.

Kyle glanced at the image displaying his stats from the corner of his eyes, and his lips trickled upward into a satisfied smirk.

"Not bad."

"I believe that with another year, my physique will naturally break through to the supreme-rank. Now, I don't need to focus on my physique. I just need to gather enough divine energy to increase my overall rank."

He squinted his eyes to peer in two different directions in the vast darkness around him, filled with nothing but tiny stars and a couple of distant planets.

Throughout his time in the No Mana Land, he consistently sensed two presences, but they were so faint that he couldn't quite connect with them. Now that he had left the boundaries of the No Mana Land, they became too vivid to ignore.

"I can sense a connection with the first presence, but the second presence... I can't believe I left a mark on someone else's body. Doesn't that mean that person was quite important to me?"

Kyle randomly selected the nearest presence he sensed and, instead of heading straight to the Sacred Divine Land, he opted to go and see if catching a glimpse of their face could trigger his forgotten memories.

After all, he could always head to the Sacred Divine Land later since Hubert had already given him the location.

He blinked and vanished from his spot. It wasn't difficult to travel a vast distance in mere seconds using instant teleportation. Also, his agility stat was high. So even if he didn't use instant teleportation, he could cover considerable distances in seconds.
