Chapter 78. One year
One year has passed in a blink of an eye.
During this one year many things changed.
The last time, Jin and Aion kissed but Aion didn’t cross the limits.
From that day, they both kissed each other more often and Jin was at a disadvantage.
But he slowly became good and finally he adapted.
In this one year, he completely stopped his profession and focused all his energy on cultivating his Soul Power and spiritual energy.
He reached a high level of Soul Avatar but his cultivation in spiritual energy remained the same.
Because of this, he contacted his grandfather and learned the reason.
The core was advanced and normal methods won’t work on him.
His grandfather passed him the cultivation art that his big daddy practiced.
Jin also made some progress in Soul art.
After two months of hard work, he was finally able to create a Mortal Mill.
After that he followed the same path.
But it was so painful that he felt his soul was splitting with the Mill operating.
Jin entered the pain and continued to cultivate.
His soul power was already refined now even his soul is being refined.
Jin endured the torture.
Soon, one year later, he was only able to go through 113 crushings of his soul.
During this time, Jin also mastered many abilities and he even learned two skills of Aion from their contract.
One was ’time isolation’
This art will isolate the time of nearby surroundings with his base.
He tried it but just as it expanded to five meters from him, he fainted from vomiting blood.
From then on, Aion focused on him.
Aion also made a lot of progress.
He was already at the peak of Divine Beast Commander.
He was also a rank four Alchemist.
Besides that he also learned many things from Aion.
He occasionally visited the Blacksmith Association and met his teacher.
His teacher also didn’t force him to focus on the blacksmith profession.
Liam was also very supportive of this decision. But unlike his teacher, he criticizes from time to time.
Now one year has passed and the Genius Galaxial Rankings are going to happen soon.
From their planet not many are going to participate.
From what his teacher told him, only two members from the royal family and he are going from the entire planet.
The true genius came from the top planets of this Galaxy.
And now one year later they are going to the depot for the place where the Galaxy rankings will be held.
Jin was waiting on the dining table for his breakfast.
Soon, Aion came with the breakfast. After 1 year, Aion has grown by a height of 1.8 meters.
He is now looking like a 16 or 17 year old boy. His handsomeness is now appearing along with his striking body.
Jin also turned 13 and his height is 1.56 meters.
Aion was coming bare chested from the kitchen.
His body is too attractive now and Jin himself can’t resist it.
Aion served the food and sat beside him. After sitting, he gently stroked his cheeks, and said with a smile,
"Now you are ready for the next test.
You also are 13 now. We can finally advance a little bit more in our relationship."
Jin blushed this slightly but he was not like one year ago. He snorted and said,
"What are you so smug? You are just an old monster who has been alone for who knows how long."
Aion smiled and froze. He looked at Jin and said seriously,
"Honey, don’t test me. Otherwise I’ll just cross the limit. There is no need for me to wait before you mature.
I am going to take responsibility for you now or then. It’s all the same for me."
Jin looked at him and said,
"But it won’t change the fact that what I said was true."
Jin knew that it was going too much so he changed the subject.
"By the way, what was your true age before this?"
Aion paused and then said,
"I am already six Eons older. But I am still the youngest. And this great cleansing is also my first time experiencing it.
Your grandpa is the true generation which has been alive for so long."
Jin looked at him and asked,
"But didn’t you say that you all are the innate gods and love the laws of the universe?"
Aion nodded and said,
"It is correct but the situation will be different if others of the same strength will strike you when you are weak.
During the last great cleansing, the time beast was at his weakest because of some unpleasant event and he was attacked by two quasi-emperors along with two emperors.
After his fall, they thought that they could receive the seed of time but they were wrong.
When the universe felt the emptiness in the time laws,
It selected a random beast as the next path and nurtured it.
I was chosen and the universal time law washed me for four Eons and made me the next innate god.
I was born in the universe and can’t resist the will of the universe.
And then I became the new time beast that wields the universal time law.
I also held the memories of the past one.
I slept for two Eons just to absorb everything.
So, in all I am just a four Eon older being."
Jin listened to everything and he felt fire in his heart. He didn’t know that this would be this much.
He gently hugged Aion and said,
"No problem, you have condensed a new body which is only a few years younger than me.
So, I am your older brother. In the future I’ll protect my darling brother from all the danger."
Aion froze and he gritted his teeth and said,
"Honey, just you wait."
After this Jin laughed and they chatted a bit more before departing.
They went to the Blacksmith Association and directly to the place where they always go.
After entering, Jin saw his teacher and the other free old man.
He greeted both of them and said,
"Teacher, when is the Genius Galaxial Rankings going to start. It’s been one year already."
Robert shook his head and said,
"Some high realm experts will be present and then it will start."
Jin nodded. He was not surprised because Aion already told him everything about this ranking.
Liam said,
"We have contacted the high Galaxy. You can go and choose which one you want to take and just go to that galaxy.
But I prefer you to choose a Mecha or Blacksmith galaxy.
But since you created a single path. I and your teacher have also been working on that.
The results were great."
Jin was surprised. Although he knew that these both were working together on something for so long, he didn’t know that this would be the thing.
He nodded.
Robert said,
"But you have to be more careful. There are slight changes in the rules this time.
In all the previous Ranking competitions,there were just two parts but this time, it is said that the rules have changed somewhat.
And there will be more than two tests."
Jin nodded slightly but Aion’s expression turned solemn.
He knew that this must be done for Jin.
Because he is a moving threat for everyone.
Liam said solemnly,
"This competition is always held on a resource planet and the destination this time is said to be the strangest planet among all the others.
It is the Reva Planet."
Jin also became silent.
This Reva Planet is more like a strange space in this galaxy.
Even the Emperor level experts have to be careful on that planet. And beings above that realm can not enter there.
Jin also understood now that this is not simple.
Robert said,
"Let’s not dwell on these matters for now.
Have you made all the preparations?
We are going to leave and both your uncle and I will be accompanying you."
Jin asked worried,
"What about the royal family?
Although they are trash, their shamelessness is on another level."
Robert shook his head and said,
"No need to worry.
There are two participating from that side and the king is going to participate in the protection personally.
Their strength has declined from the last time and they will be silent.
The king will go and the kingdom is going to be silent after that."
Jin nodded and then he also said,
"That crown prince is really talented. He is definitely around 27 and he was already in the Soul Born Realm.
He must have reached the peak of this realm by the resources of his family.
But who is the other one?"
Robert and Liam shook their heads.
They also didn’t know about that.
Just as they were talking to each other, their planet shook slightly and an announcement was made that was heard by everyone,
"All parties participating in the Genius Galaxial Rankings must depart now."
Hearing this both Robert and Liam appeared calm.
But Jin was slightly surprised. He asked,
"What was that and why did the Louis Planet shake just now?"
Aion who has been silent for so long answered.
