Celestial Bloodline

Yon stood on a platform made of stacked bricks, looking at the other guardians and countless citizens working nearby. They were all building a new barrier in the center of Coexis, combining countless symbols with a lot of natural mana and divine energy. Once activated, this barrier would cover the entire Continent with a transparent dome.

This way, if the enemy tried to attack and harm the citizens, the barrier, along with the border around the Continent, would give them enough time to fight back with everything they have got.

Yon wasn't alone. There were many others, including the demi-human king Muzim and the human king Istalian. They both stared at Yon's back with solemn expressions. They were shocked to learn that the array masters had succeeded after so much struggle. Finally, they called upon the guardians to help them in this difficult time.

A glimmer of hope appeared in the hearts of all those people who watched the guardians constructing a barrier in the middle of the Continent.

However, the two kings and a few others were completely stunned and couldn't find words when their communication crystals buzzed. At that moment, Alec and Carcel, the young guardians of the Continent, declared that this time they would be the ones launching the attack against the enemy first. No way they would wait for the enemy to strike and catch them off guard.

Of course, the kings and the elders who heard the news didn't agree because they thought it was too risky, even with the tower's guardians on their side.

They had witnessed the enemy's power, and it would be unfair to say they felt confident in confronting so many divine-rank individuals directly. But everything changed when word got out that Alec, Jian, Carcel, Lara, and the elven Queen had reached the pseudo divine rank.

The news was so shocking that some of them even dropped their communication crystals. The elders exchanged glances, and their faces broke into wry smiles.

These youngsters had already amazed them by fighting on the frontlines during the previous enemy attack. And now, they had once again surpassed everyone's expectations by achieving a rank that even they themselves weren't sure they would reach.

In the end, a multitude of projections appeared in the sky as the two kings reached out to all the strong people of the Continent. A heated discussion ensued about whether they should heed the words of the youngsters. But before they could come to a conclusion, another news reached their ears that numerous strong individuals from the Sea Continent had arrived at the border to join the war—a war they hadn't even decided to start yet.

Yon couldn't help but muse with amusement as he watched the faces of the people around him change every minute, as if they were experiencing the shock of their lives.

King Istalian's communication crystal buzzed once more, and this time he swore he wouldn't answer it. However, the people around him stared at him with intense gazes, silently urging him to pick it up.

He let out a groan. Istalian had finally freed himself from the shadow after countless attempts. He had given the shadow the divine phoenix blood, and in return, before vanishing to an unknown place, the shadow gave him something that would enhance his strength. Regardless, it would only be useful when he reached the point where he felt he had truly reached the peak of (SSS+)-Rank.

That's why when he heard that many people younger than him had already reached the pseudo divine rank, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. Still, despite his reluctance, he stealed his nerves and held the communication crystal in his hand.

Soon, Jian's face appeared before him. The red-haired man ran his hand through his hair and let out a smile, a smile that bordered on wickedness. Jian cleared his throat, and in the next moment, the image above the communication crystal changed, showing countless familiar youngsters entering a tall tower in rows.

"So..."

Jian's voice echoed through the crystal, jolting Istalian, who stared at the familiar tower where the youngsters were entering.

"I just wanted to ask if I could send some kids to train in the nearest tower of opportunity. Oh well, they're so eager and already going inside, so don't blame me. But don't worry, 'our future hope' will definitely become the hope of the future when they come out from that place with enough strength to fight alongside us! Hahaha."

Just like that, before Jian's words could fully sink inside anyone's head, the connection of the communication crystal was abruptly cut off, leaving the crystal dead silent.

Right at that moment, Yon turned around, scratching his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Oh, it seems they found out that after the guardians left, all the towers are open to the public. It's great that they're taking advantage of this opportunity to send all the young ones into the towers."

His booming voice reverberated through the air, and Istalian's expression turned pale. So, Jian contacted him after he had already teleported the youngsters in front of the tower and was in the process of sending them in?

Istalian gazed at Muzim, the demi-human king, only to find that Muzim's expression was even paler than his own. Not just Muzim, everyone had various expressions on their faces, unsure of what the hell was happening and why the hell it was happening so fast?

All eyes immediately turned to Han, who was munching on fruits in the distance while overseeing some individuals drawing symbols around him. Han and George were the ones who brought the guardians back, but they haven't discussed anything else yet!

Of course, everyone heard about Kyle once the array masters returned. Kyle was the human who was considered to be the strongest among the younger generation when he came out of that secret realm.

But he vanished even before the planet was attacked, and no one knew what happened to him. Moreover, due to the circumstances, everyone forgot about him.

However, the very same Kyle has made a reappearance. And not just that, he even made a major contribution when the array masters opened the tower. No, not just a major contribution, he was the one who added the right symbols in the array.

Regardless, nobody mentioned that they would be going into a war so suddenly!
