Sovereign of the Firmaments

'Ding,

          Spirit beast name:- Cosmic devouring snake.

          Strength:- Rank 2.

          The energy required to reach rank 3:- (78 percent / 100 percent).

'What the…'

When he saw how much energy the little snake spent in condensing a low-level cosmic crystal, Lucas was shocked as he muttered, '20 percent of energy in its rank 2 can condense a low-level cosmic crystal. Then what about the mid-level and high-level cosmic crystals?'

Earlier, Lucas was looking forward to the production of mid-level and high-level cosmic crystals; however, now, he was worried about the energy required for the production of these crystals.

'Looks like I can't make it condense more cosmic crystals in a short time as it requires a lot of energy.'

In the beginning, Lucas struggled to fill the single percent of the energy in the progress bar and now he had to spend 20 percent in producing a low-level cosmic crystal.

'Ding,

          At cosmic devouring snake's current strength, a lot of energy is wasted white condensing the cosmic energy into a cosmic crystal.

'Ding,

          As long as the little snake's rank is increased, the wastage can be decreased.

Two system notifications rang in his head as Lucas understood why the little snake had to spend a lot of energy in condensing a low-level cosmic crystal.

'Since it costs 20 percent of energy in the progress bar to condense a low-level cosmic crystal, it will cost 10 percent of energy when its strength increases to rank 3? Isn't that more or less the same?'

Even though it seemed like a 10 percent decrease in the production of a low-level cosmic crystal, don't forget the rank 2 progress bar and rank 3 progress bar are different.

So, Lucas asked the system about it.

'Ding,

          According to the information available to the system, the production cost decreases by 50 percent after the increase in the little snake's strength.

'Fine…I will figure out more about it myself after the little snake reaches rank 3.'

Lucas shook his head as he knew that the system also didn't know much about many things.

'Yay..'

'My talent increased to Marquis grade.'

'My strength increased by a whole rank.'

'I was blessed with a new skill by the heavens.'

.

..

…

Just as Lucas was calculating the cost of the production of the cosmic crystals, he heard the excited shouts of his followers and the townsmen.

'Roars'

Also, the spirit beasts were also roaring excitedly as they received their share of rewards from the heavens.

'Looks like the heavens finally finished rewarding them.'

Lucas looked through the window of his room and nodded his head.

'I will let them rest for today.'

Lucas wanted to evaluate everyone in his town before adjusting the positions in the town and at the same time, he had to select a few loyal and strong followers to become the heads of his three new villages.

Nevertheless, he didn't want to bother them today as he knew everyone was tired from the fight with the evil spirit beasts and evil beings.

'Swoosh'

'Roar'

Just as he thought that Lucas sensed a powerful aura in the distance along with a powerful roar.

'Huh? A dragon roar?'

Since the barrier is active, Lucas' senses were top notch and even without them, he could tell that the roar belonged to a dragon.

In Silverstone town, there was only a single dragon and it was the peak rank 5 shadow dragon.

'Looks like he made a breakthrough into rank 6.'

Lucas became excited as he finally had a rank 6 spirit beast in his town and even without heaven's blessing, no one in the barren firmament dares to bother them if they knew about it.

Without wasting any time, he came out of his room and walked towards the shadow dragon.

'Ding,

          The host's guardian spirit beast has successfully crossed the rank 5 realm and became a quasi-heavenly spirit beast 

'Ding,

          The spirit beast has to go through the lightning tribulations from the heavens to become a full-fledged Heavenly spirit beast.

'Ding,

          The lightning tribulations will start in an hour. Please remove the barrier and don't try to give your physician support to the spirit beast while it is undergoing the lightning tribulations as it will only increase the destructive power of the lightning flashes.

'Damn it…I totally forgot about the lighting tribulation.'

Before Ajax could to the shadow dragon, he received a series of system notifications that shocked him for a moment; however, lightning tribulation was not a new concept for him as he already knew about it.

When something heaven-defying happened in the lands under the heavens, the heavens would test it whether they were really worthy to defy the heavens.

"Dragon, I am not going to help you with this lightning tribulation. If you don't make it, I will use my undead summoning spell to resurrect you. So, if you don't want to become an undead shadow dragon, try your best in surviving the lightning tribulation."

Along with the event, Lucas also knew all the rules of the lightning tribulations. So, of course, he would not help the shadow dragon as it would only make things difficult for the shadow dragon.

Nevertheless, with his earlier words, Lucas guessed that he had already given enough motivation for the shadow dragon to survive.

'Roar'

With a serious look in its eyes, the shadow dragon roared at Lucas as though it was never going to become an undead being and it is definitely going to overcome the lightning tribulation.

"Good.  As long as you overcome this lightning tribulation, we will be entering the depths of the Myriad primordial forest."

Even though the shadow dragon had already got enough motivation to overcome the lightning tribulation, Lucas added another thing that the shadow dragon liked the most and it was entering the depths of the Myriad primordial forest.

"Roar. I am going to overcome this lightning tribulation at any cost."

With a loud roar, the shadow dragon roared to the heavens as it had a determined look in its eyes.
