Chapter 1649: Meeting the 7 Ancient Primordial Beasts

"Do not try to resist. Just allow the blood essence to merge with your core and let it rework your entire system. It will be painless, so simply enjoy the sensation while it lasts," Kent instructed, and Elina nodded obediently.

So far, she was the weakest among her sisters, so becoming a dragon sounded like the perfect step toward building her own strength.

Luckily for her, she was surrounded by powerful, loving, and supportive sisters who would do anything to make her happy.

Kent poured the blood essence into her mouth, and before long, she became cocooned within a swirling crimson shell.

The next time she emerged, she would become the Nine Tribulation Dragon, an existence that had once forced even the Primordial Chaos Dragon to go all out just to kill her.

Back then, the Nine Tribulation Dragon had only awakened six Tribulations. Had she reached her peak, not even Chaos himself would have survived against her. But then again, Chaos wasn’t even close to his peak, either.

Now, that terrifying power would belong to Elina, whose destiny and fate had been completely shattered the moment she met Chaos.

After making sure she was stable, Kent freshened himself up and, for the first time in twenty years, finally left the Harem Tower.

The first person he decided to visit was his mother in Nature City, the Elven City, after learning she had been worried sick when she found out he was unconscious.

He appeared on the streets of Gaiaville before quickly making his way toward Nature City.

Before leaving for Elina’s galaxy, Gaia had already built Gaiaville for humans, Nature City for the Elves, Blood City for the Bloodvein Tribe, Skyjade City for the Skyfoxes, City of Rain for the Rabbitkin, and Pyraxia City for the Dragons.

However, with the Evil Race and countless slaves migrating into the tower, two entirely new cities had been added, both of them the largest yet.

One of those cities was naturally named Evil City.

It was the largest city in the tower and had enough capacity to house over 400 million people.

So far, over 300 million residents have already settled there.

Gaia even designed seven different segments within the city to mirror the Seven Gateways of the lower realm in the star realm. This way, the people transported there would still live among familiar faces.

She would expand that later to accommodate the non-combatants from the Middle and High Heavens.

The second city created for the rescued slaves and their families had been named after Elina’s little sister, Love.

The City of Love was now home to nearly five million people of mixed races.

Although Planet Gorn, where the slave mine had existed, was primarily a human planet, slaves from countless races and worlds had also been transported there. So they were housed there, everyone settling in.

Origin had finally managed to reunite with his parents.

Overall, the Tower City was slowly evolving into a continent.

After leaving GaiaVille, Kent quickly sped toward Nature City.

The moment he entered the city, seven powerful presences immediately caught his attention.

After Tower’s latest upgrade, cultivation was no longer restricted within the cities, so the presence of seven Supremes living within Nature City immediately stood out to him.

After returning to the tower, Black Fang, who had remained within Inaya’s Soul Sea the entire time while reforming her body, had finally been released.

As a result, all seven of them were now residing within Nature City.

The moment Kent stopped moving, the seven figures appeared before him.

"We greet Lord Chaos," Moltros said respectfully while cupping his fists.

The others quickly followed his lead, all bowing respectfully toward the powerhouse who had once stood at the forefront of the universe itself.

Kent, who had recovered most of Chaos’s memories during his sixteen years of slumber, immediately recognized the seven Beastkins before him.

"You guys are the Ancient Beasts..."

Kent stood stunned for a brief moment, but he was also genuinely happy.

The Ancient Beasts had existed since the Primordial Era itself.

Back then, there had been thousands of them, though many had fallen during the Great War.

Seeing seven still alive filled his heart with joy. Inaya had already told him about this unique situation, so he was aware of their existence.

Seeing that he recognized them, the Seven Ancient Primordial Beasts smiled. "It is good to finally meet the legend in person," Xarion, the strongest among them, said with a pleasant smile.

"Good to see you guys too. And thanks for protecting Inaya during her Ascension Ceremony."

They nodded. While they felt guilty for not being able to protect the likes of Vexthra and co well, they were happy to have at least protected Inaya until she returned to save them.

"Lord Chaos, I want to ask, would the Void Beasts return?" Nareth hesitated for a moment before asking the question she had wanted to ask when she learned the Chaos Dragon was still alive.

Kent smiled and nodded. "Yes, they would return several times stronger. However, this time, we will be prepared to eradicate them completely. I have already started forming a legion to face them, and since you guys are here, you are part of it.

"So whatever you need, ask Inaya. She would provide it for you."

They nodded, their gazes filled with determination.

"You are Ancient Beasts, beings blessed by the Universe with both talent and strength. I expect great things from all seven of you."

"We will not fail you, Lord Chaos," Lios said, placing his right fist on his chest.

"When the time comes, I, Zephyra, will fight them to the death."

Tharos and Black Fang, whose real name was actually Vorak, also pledged.

"I believe you guys, so don’t slack off. If you need training buddies, you can ask Inaya or the little girls running around. Any of them can help you."

After chatting with them for a few minutes, Kent left to go meet his mom before she exploded with worry.

The Seven Ancient Primordial Beasts took his words to heart, so after a few discussions, they returned to their homes to continue comprehending the mysteries of the Dao.

Only by comprehending it to the Absolute stage could they ascend to the rank of a Celestial.

Kent spent the entire day with his mother, catching up on things and making plans to get revenge for her when he ascended to the Immortal Realm.

After leaving there, he visited Queen Eirdis and her daughter, Xandira, who was happy to see Kent again. Although she wasn’t old enough to speak, the moment Kent arrived, she became very happy.

Kent was also happy to see her again.

For reasons he couldn’t yet explain, whenever he saw Xandira, he felt happy.

So he spent hours there, making sure he spent enough time with the little Dragon before visiting others like Elaine’s parents. Origin, and his parents.

The little human, whose speed surprised even Kent, was happy to introduce Kent as his big brother who bought him clothes and took him to a fancy restaurant and a very large hotel.

He was very happy with the treatment Kent had given him.

His parents, who were present in the slave mine when Kent attacked, were also grateful for saving them and even promised to pay him back.

Kent merely nodded, knowing that now that they were inside the tower, it would be he paying them back for providing precious soul essence.

After leaving that place, he returned to the Mountain Garden, where he was surprised to find not even a single person.

Feeling the quiet atmosphere, he decided to spend a few hours there to calm his nerves before triggering the tribulation for his ascension. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Three hours later, he was ready to ascend, so he issued a tower-wide announcement for everyone to remain indoors and be ready to make good use of the precious immortal Qi that would surge into the tower the moment he ascended.
