Chains Of Heaven

Enkidu opened his eyes after calming down, his mind that was in turmoil now returning to its regular calm state. The only difference being that now he had reached a new conclusion of what he should do, something he was decided upon. The destruction of those who hurt his mother and her clan as well as the retrieval of the gift his mother left for him.

He spent his time afterward acclimating himself to the results of this entire thing, especially the unexpected benefits to his body.

There was an evolution of his bloodline as a whole as well as a purification of his body. If before the flow of energy in his body was like a stream now it was a mighty river, channeling energy extremely well. Not only that, his body was now much more powerful and by removing most of the impurities and secret hidden wounds caused during his upbringing his body was now much more resilient and strong.

His muscles were now like divine iron and his bones were as flexible as the ones from a snake, his skin translucent and his eyes were now able to see much more than before, his capacity to see and reaction speed increased many times over.

If one were to compare now with before Enkidu would be able to defeat Fugui using only his physical strength by now and in a much shorter time compared to what it was before.

However, despite his growth, he could not feel any sort of pride from this situation. He only could sense that this was still far from enough.

Not only his body grew immensely in power his cultivation also rose greatly, going straight to the 3rd level of the Heaven Profound Realm.

Honestly speaking he should have risen much higher, but the fact of the matter is that his cultivation demanded absurd level of cultivation resources to improve. A perfect cultivation demanded more and more profound energy to improve, that is something Enkidu came to understand and accept.

But, that also meant that his potential was that much higher.

Clenching his fist Enkidu decided where he should go next.

'I need cultivation resources, lots of them. I could steal them but the only places which would have enough to matter are great sects and I do not enjoy the thought of stealing from others.' Despite knowing that stealing would likely be the fastest method possible he did not wish to do so. Instead he looked into his Library and searched for the book about the Azure Cloud Continent.

The fact was, he needed information about all manners of secret realms and places where cultivation resources would be located.

Looking at it he found that there were indeed many places of natural luck where resources would be, amongst them a few were only speculations in the books about what might be there.

That, by itself, would not mean much at all. However, the fact was that if 1000 books had speculations based on engravings and rumors about a location and each of them speculated a different matter then it was bound that there would be someone who would guess right.

Thus, Enkidu found the Inheritance Places of many beings, the amount surprised Enkidu but also is something he could understand. This is one of the three continents of the Blue Polar Star. The other continents had the Phoenix, Azure Dragon, and Golden Crow inheritances so how could this place where the daughter of the Evil God lives be lacking?

Simple, it was not.

It was in a slightly troublesome place, but Enkidu was confident he could go there.

On the entire continent there were at least a few places that were of interest to Enkidu. One is the Fairy Forest to the east where it is said that the Fairy King once put a seed of the Origin Tree and some of his inheritance. Enkidu saw someone who gained some lucky chances there and it was also a sacred place where many herbs are constantly born and grow.

Up north of there was the Poisonous Bog where no one has ever reached the center. One speculation was that a poisonous God created it in the past, which surprisingly is true and that only the Poison Sect has any sort of access to it. Infiltrating in this sect would be definitely hard but Enkidu was confident he could do it and find more about the Heaven Smithing clan meanwhile since the two sects were something of allies.

In the south there were the two ruins of the old Empires. Those were places that Enkidu would definitely not miss out since there were the inheritances of the Giant and Dwarf Godkings, two beings whose inheritances would match well with him.

Finally, to the west were was the danger zone Sea of Life where Enkidu believes the Life Creation God inheritance should be. It was the place Enkidu was the most certain he wants to go, and where he would certainly visit.

Honestly speaking, Enkidu had decided his course of action already. He decided that, if he was to obtain an inheritance somewhere, it should be the inheritance of the Life Creation Goddess first. This was due to how, in the original Against the Gods, the moment one received the inheritance of the Evil God one would have their cultivation reset to the start.

Thus Enkidu would be moving to one of the continent's most dangerous places. But, to be able to do such, he would need to prepare some cultivation techniques for Levy and Medusa. Cai'er's profound veins would need to be taken care off instead for a good while so until then Enkidu would not be able to help her in cultivation, but both Levy and Medusa had no such an issue.

Thinking such Enkidu concentrated in developing the best cultivation technique for the both of them.

As he did so he released his energy naturally, as it happened something deep underground stirred unnoticeably.

It was under many formations, hidden away and locked by the Qian family long ago.

However, for the fragmented soul inside of it the 'seal' on it was completely meaningless. It simply allowed itself to stay there as its objective was the same regardless of everything else.

It still remembered its orders, it and its subordinates existed to look for the best possible person to inherit their powers and make sure that the seal in the abys where the soul of that being resided would remain in place. It knew that the soul itself was completely guiltless but if the seal were to be compromised then this entire world and many others would perish for it.

Again it cursed that old bastard for creating such a terrible thing, it could understand why he did it but he still went too far.

Thus it remained its vigil, originally it was satisfied with helping the Qian clan since its ancestor was almost perfect for it and its future descendants always did what was ordered, but this latest generation was simply no good. Their actions were just too much, they took its insistence in not passing down their highest inheritance as if they lacked power, disregarding the angelic being's words that it was their heart that was not right.

Just thinking on what they did to fix that, it disgusted the angelic being to the absolute core. It decided then and there that it would stop helping them. Instead, it focused in searching for other inheritors, someone whose heart and power was fitting.

And today, it finally found someone that fits. He might have demonic blood, but so does the one the angelic being is guarding, and for someone with his bloodline to have the light that he has, to be so fitting for all that was left in this world by its master.

'I guess I see a way yet. And just in time since the disaster is approaching, but first I must test him.' As it thought so the being sent a small fragment of itself into Enkidu's body. It would observe him, see what he was made off, and if this being was right then there was still hope for this world and this current era.
