Chapter 83. Round one
Jules was the first to break the silence,
"I say, kid, just what got into you that you wanted to run away from us?"
Jin became silent and said,
"I don’t know"
Hearing this Emma laughed in anger and pulled the right ear of Jin hard. She finally erupted at him completely,
"What did you feel guilty about?
Ha!
Tell me. I was the one who decided to bring you home. I was the one who poured my love into you.
Just what made you feel guilty about that.
And where is Aion? You said that he did a sacrifice for you.
How is he doing now?"
Just then a blinding light shone on Jin’s forehead and Aion appeared in front of everyone.
Emma and Jules were amazed by the appearance that Aion showed now.
He was just too handsome.
Jules looked at him and said,
"Kid, you have become so handsome. It seems that many girls are going to move around you."
Jin laughed amid tears.
Aion’s face darkened. He looked at the old couple and said,
"I don’t need any of that. I already have a wife"
Jin froze. Emma and Jules paused.
James asked,
"Who is that lucky girl?"
Aion looked at them and said,
"Jin."
There was a pin drop silence in the cabin.
All talks about the past vanished at this moment and only one remained.
Jules looked at Jin and then Aion.
Emma did the same and said,
"I don’t agree."
Aion ignored this and said,
"You can’t change it. My wife has the physique that they can only marry with males."
Emma was stunned and then looked at Jin.
Jin nodded while being red. Emma stopped her thinking. She paused for a moment before asking,
"Is he from that..."
Aion cut her off while sending a voice transmission in both their minds,
"Don’t speak about his past. He gets emotional attacks and he almost left me once.
I am scared of losing him."
Emma trembled slightly. She looked at Jin and her eyes teared instantly. She hugged and didn’t say anything for some time.
After that, she said only one sentence.
"Go and rest. We are leaving after the competition and then we will chat."
Jin nodded and left. Aion stayed behind and he looked at them. He said,
"For me it doesn’t matter what choice you make. I am his lover, his protector, his family.
And for me, he is my everything.
So, you better give up on those ideas of separating me with him.
I am respecting you both becUse you raised him. But I am the one who pulled him out from that place.
He could have gone somewhere else otherwise.
So, for me Jin is everything.
I am respecting you both doesn’t mean that you are my elders. If we talk about age then I might be older than your entire generation."
Then he excluded an oppressive aura and left.
Jules looked at the back of Aion and sighed.
He then looked at his wife and said,
"Let these young people settle their matters on their own.
What he said was true.
As long as he loves Jin, does it matter whether the other is male or female.
At this rate, a dragon and human are not allowed to fall in love with each other."
Emma also sighed and nodded. She said,
"Now I am even more concerned about Jin’s future.
From Aion’s words, it is clear that we are too weak and should not cross our boundaries."
Jules also nodded but then he changed the subject,
"But I have to say that our grandson is truly something.
He is James that shook the galaxy.
Although the top planets remained silent, do you really think that they are unfazed by this?"
Emma also nodded.
They both looked at each other and sighed.
Jin returned to an empty cabin. Aion followed him.
With many years of living together, there is no need to say anything between them.
Aion hugged Jin from behind and kissed his neck.
Jin let him.
After that Aion picked Jin and laid him on the bed.
He embraced Jin and they both drifted into sleep.
Jin is a cultivator but when he is emotionally unstable, he tends to behave like a mortal.
And sleeping like this will help him.
________
Soon time passed and the time to enter the Reva Planet came.
Jin looked at his grandparents and nodded at them.
Aion also transformed into a beam and drilled into the Sea of consciousness of Jin.
Many others were already gathered here.
Jin also waited patiently.
The powerhouses also appeared.
Venerable Xiao and Venerable Yi also appeared.
Venerable Xiao has a slightly ugly face. He wanted to owe that kid a favour but who would have thought his own background is enough to protect him.
He looked at the youths and said,
"After you all enter the Reva range, unless you all come out on your own, there is no way to communicate with outsiders.
Now the future depends on you all and the way you move.
So, the first round officially begins now."
Then he and others made some hand seals and the space around the Reva Planet started to tremble and a portal appeared between the planetary layers.
Venerable Yi said,
"Quickly go inside. You all will be teleported to separate places."
The competitors followed the orders and quickly rushed to the portal.
Jin also entered silently.
The moment he passed the portal he felt completely different from the outside world.
He was confused. Just then Aion in his mind said,
"These are the laws but not of the universe. They are the laws of divine beings."
Jin was surprised and asked about them. Aion only said,
"This is a higher level of divine beings.
You will understand this in future."
Jin nodded and they touched the ground soon.
The land around them looked completely black with everything containing the hint of black.
Then comes the second dominant colour which is golden but not golden. It was like a warm golden.
These two colours represent the energy of the yin butterfly and yang dragon.
Jin was amazed by the scenery in front of him.
Then he spotted a tree with both warm gold and cold black in colour and aura.
He went there and saw the tree and the many fruits and flowers on the tree.
He was curious so he took a step forward and tried to fly but then he noticed that he couldn’t fly at all.
He felt awkward. Just then, Aion’s serious voice sounded in his mind.
He said,
"Honey, be careful. These rules are affecting the surroundings that are not flowing with this aura.
But they are not harmful to you. Instead they are beneficial for you.
You can simply devour them and advance to the next level without damaging your foundation."
Jin was happy when he heard that. He was at the high core realm for so long but now it is time to advance.
He is determined to advance to the next realm in this resource planet.
But what he did not know was that, the youths with backgrounds have protective measures to protect them from the laws of this planet.
Even if you know he wouldn’t care about that.
Jin climbed the tree and he took the fruits in his mouth for testing the flavour.
There was no taste, only lightning that burst out inside him.
Jin’s eyes lit up and he continued to eat the fruits.
The energy inside the fruit was turbulent but it was nothing for Jin. He continued to eat the fruits.
Soon only flowers remained on the tree.
Jin stopped eating and he moved down from the tree. There were even more trees around him but he knew that it was useless. He chatted with Aion,
"It seems that we are in the most sparse area where the resources itself are scarce.
Let’s go to the core region of this world."
Aion said,
"Since this planet is formed based on the dragon body then the core area must be the divine heart and the head of the dragon.
You can go and look for these places.
There is a high chance that you might encounter some opportunities there."
Jin nodded but when he looked around him, he scratched his head and said,
"Hey Aion, how can I find that when I don’t even know where I am right now."
Aion laughed slightly and said,
"Honey, it seems that your skills have become rusty with that much hard work.
Just close your eyes and sense the energy in the world around you."
Jin smiled sheepishly and understood what Aion wanted him to do.
He sat on the ground and he started operating his Devouring Crystal Core.
The energy from the surrounding space was easily captured by him and it continued till Jin suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly,
"Found it."
He looked in one particular direction and ran there.
After absorbing the energy, the most portion of the energy was coming from here.
