Chapter 1131: A Child Or A God? Gaining power for a Blood Blessed was both straightforward and also complicated. By the simple act of living, every Blood Blessed grew stronger. Especially in this place where the energy from the seven golden suns overhead enriched their bodies. Their growth depended on Bloodline Refinement, as the Ouroboros Blood inside their bodies was constantly perfected, and this process was intensely energy consuming, so just the act of eating was also a means of refining their bloodline, but the best method to grow their bloodline was energy. When the bodies of the Blood Blessed reached the limits of growth, they could search for the seven-pointed star in their heart, and using the bloodline power inside of their bodies, break through the first star point and become a golden giant. The first batch of Golden Giants had been able to quickly reach this level because they had access to Calamities abound on the continent, and after killing them, the energy of Calamity was used to fuel their bloodline refinement. Inside this place, there were areas of great danger, but that was only due to terrain and several environmental phenomena. There were no single Calamity beasts or Ascendants to battle and so the growth of the Blood Blessed came to depend on their nutrition, and in two years their crafts using the endless grass surrounding their city had reached a great height. Beacon paused in his ascent and looked downwards and backward at the home they were building for themselves. From this height, the valley they settled into seemed extremely small for the number of people it contained but looks can be deceiving. Using the pattern of the buildings in the great city, the Blood Blessed had duplicated the styles, but theirs were more simple, their buildings did not go past two stories, and they incorporated flowers and trees deeply intertwined with their buildings, giving it a more earthly and homely touch. With a glance, you could easily tell that the buildings took inspiration from the grand city in the distance, but when the city felt like a place for gods to reside, this valley felt like home. Taking advantage of the endless spaces, the Elders had made sure that the city followed proper arrangements. The streets were wide, interlaced with gardens and pools. To further streamline the city, Creation Zones were created where Blood Blessed could submit the application of what they wanted to create, and after approval, they would enter the creation zone and make them, of course this rule was only when they were inside the city, outside the city you could create nearly anything you wanted, but there were certain restrictions put in place, and anyone who broke them would be executed. The Blood Blessed had suffered intense cruelty and they were not soft individuals, they did not suffer fools or saboteurs. You could not create any form of life, especially life that mimicked intelligence. The risk of soul damage by the creator was very high, and some sick individuals would create life to perform sadistic actions on their creation. Those individuals when caught were drawn and quartered, with the regeneration capabilities of the Blood Blessed this meant a truly terrible death, and because the only way to kill a Blood Blessed effectively after they became a Golden Giant was to destroy their heart, the pain the perpetrators suffered at their ends was nightmare fuel. This went a long way to discourage individuals from performing sick experiments with this power granted to them, but there were always those who sought to abuse power, even among the Elders, and their screams of pain at the end were a constant reminder that although there were bad apples inside the bunch, their society was one that would not endure any sign of rot. The lessons learned under the tyranny of the Blood Slaves were an endless reminder of the harm a small group of villains could perform on a society. Beacon who knew what it was to lose hope was a staunch follower of the group in charge of rooting out any heretic in their society, and such a thing would have been difficult anywhere else, but in a land where creation was at the fingertips of the masses, there were incredibly creative ways that criminals could be caught. Although there were many smart criminals everything changed with the birth of one person and the sheer depth of his genius. Beacon looked upwards, he barely crossed the five thousand-foot mark and he tried not to think that the Ascension Spear was 144,000 feet tall. Moving at the front, with the closest person behind him being thousands of feet below, was a tiny figure, standing not more than three feet tall, he was a child with the disposition of a titan. Unlike a normal Blood Blessed with green skin and red hair, this child had dark green skin and long white hair that nearly reached his feet. He was not struggling up the Ascension Spear like the rest, instead he was casually walking on it. With his back facing the earth and his heart facing the heavens, the child walked with both of his hands in his pockets, as he casually whistled, thirty thousand feet above everyone else, making the total number of steps he had taken on the Ascension Spear to be an amazing fifty- five thousand feet! This was coupled with the fact that this child had already activated the fifth point of the star in his heart. The birth of the Natal Treasure inside every Blood Blessed naturally caused a stir, and when it was discovered that some of the Blood Blessed had multiple Natal Treasures inside their bodies, a new wave of excitement flowed through the masses. Soon it was generally accepted that a great way to determine the talents of a Blood Blessed was tied to the number of Natal Treasure that they had within them. For a long time, Young Po was determined to be the greatest genius amongst them all with his five Natal Treasure, and they could not even determine how high his future would become, but then the birth of this child changed the direction of the Blood Blessed forever. The first thing that showed his uniqueness was that he gave birth to himself while his mother was sleeping. Somehow he found a way to slit her stomach apart without alerting her, and when she was awake, she was greeted by the sight of her newborn baby taking his bath and levitating dozens of books above him as he was reading. Another shocking aspect that shook the entire community was that he was born already a golden giant with but one but three points in his heart activated at birth, or as they would later find out, he reached this level barely hours after he was born. When he revealed his Natal Treasures, the entire society of the Blood Blessed was shaken, and the weak-minded among them wanted to worship this child who felt more like a god. He had nine Natal Treasures. Refusing to take a name until he reached the top of the Ascension Spear, this child had begun to change the society of the Blood Blessed when he began to take apart everything they knew of power and brought about a new way of thinking. The Elders had instituted many changes across this city, but the brains behind most of the changes came from him.
