Chapter 7 - Ceremony of the Grimoire (PART 2)

Julius, carried by Diogo on his shoulders, soon arrived in the center of the city, a beautiful and magnificent altar, in the center of a great platform was before his eyes, there was a large and dense crowd around the platform.

But of course, Diogo with the status he has, never to be in the middle of this crowd, he took his beloved grandson and waitresses to a luxurious building not far from the platform.

As they entered, they were quickly received by men in suits and beautifully dressed women, all employees of this luxurious building, which is a 4 Star Hotel in the city.

"Master Diogo, please follow me, I'll be guiding you to your quarters." - You said a beautiful servant respectfully.

"Today not small, take me to the top floor, today I want to talk to some old friends." - Diogo said willingly.

Hearing this, the beautiful servant nodded respectfully and soon guided them to an elevator, which in a matter of seconds soon reached the top floor, it is worth noting that the building has 20 floors.

…

"Diogo, you old bastard, you're finally here!" - A loud and energetic voice sounded, a loud and muscular man of 50~60 years old laughs with the will.

Seeing him, Diogo turned his eyes and said. - "Dirty mouth like always Douglas, I see that even after three years, you haven't changed a bit."

"Oh, come on, Diogo, we're old and we can't reach a Kingdom of Cultivation higher than ours, why do we need to be cold with each other? Let's just have fun and see the younger ones!" - Said Douglas laughing as he shook Diogo's hand tightly.

Diogo turned his eyes but did not give in, he shook Douglas' hand with the same force, which made Douglas' lips rise. - "You're sharp and strong as ever."

Hearing this, Diogo just smiled and soon the two old men let go of their hands, and then Diogo went to introduce the little boy next to him.

"This is my grandson, Julius, say hello to this old, dirty mouth and remember Julius, never take seriously anything he says." - Said Diogo kindly to his grandson.

"Yeah, Grandpa, don't take anything seriously that the old man with the dirty mouth talks about, got it!" - Julius said so innocently.

Douglas was speechless when he heard Diogo and his grandson, but soon he laughed and said. - "So you're the young grandson genius of this old Diogo shit?"

"My grandfather's not an old shit, you dirty-mouthed old man!" - Julius said defending his grandfather, which made him smile satisfied and Douglas turn his eyes slightly.

"You tell him not to take anything I say seriously, and you're the one who's leading him astray, poor child." - Said Douglas nodding his head.

Diogo said nothing and just went to introduce Julius to his other old acquaintances, some of whom tried to talk about the subject of marriage, some were quite insistent, but Diogo is someone smart and easily diverted such matters.

…

Soon the beautiful full moon was high in the sky, the square around the platform was silent, almost 300 young people were on the big platform, all wearing fine clothes and kneeling on the floor, looking coldly at the altar in the center of the platform.

No one said anything and everyone was just waiting, no one climbed the platform or said something, everyone just watched silently, waiting for something anxiously.

And when 1 hour of deadly silence passed, suddenly an ancient and overwhelming pressure arose, causing Julius who was considerably away from the platform, to widen his eyes.

'That's a power beyond the Entities... how is that possible?!' - Julius thought shocked to feel the power, even though he cannot know for sure the extent of such a force, he knows that the {Idea} behind it is something unprecedented.

He already met with Entities before, sharing some knowledge and cultivation tips, something that helped him immensely, in all his life, he interacted with only 3 Entities, which can be considered very much, since even old people with millions of years, at most they would know 1 to 2 Entities, he with less than 400 thousand years had known 3 and he who is not a little silly, tried to feel at most what are the [Ideas}.

So you could say that when he felt this old and overwhelming pressure, he didn't care about it, but about what was behind it, it was something deep that even he, who reached the level of God of the Cosmos, is not able to see even the tip of the iceberg.

'What's that? As such a thing is possible, what are the Grimoires, why would such an existence deliver such things to mere mortals who are not even Transcendents?' - Julius was asking himself several questions, but nothing came to his mind, which made him very uncomfortable.

Suddenly the altar, once cold and lifeless, began to have a slight golden glow, which made all the more than 300 young people aged 15-20 years long, their hearts beat like drums, some with their eyes closed and praying to the Gods they believed in.

Julius looked at everything carefully, doing everything he could to try to understand a little and suddenly he noticed from his eyes, golden threads coming out of the altar and these threads soon began to connect with the minds of all the young people on the platform in a matter of moments.

'Wait... that's forced understanding... what the hell is going on here?!' - Julius was shocked again, but realizing that the young people were not showing any reaction, it made him frown. - 'That's not forced understanding… that's something else…' - Julius was becoming more and more confused, this Existential Plan was already leaving him speechless several times.

But it is normal for him to be confused, since [Forced Understanding] was something quite common in his past life, but only powers of Transcendent Level and above were capable of such a thing, if someone below and not very proficient in the arts related to the mind, the target who was receiving [Forced Understanding], could suffer serious damage to his soul, might even become a retarded one, but the same can happen if a Transcendent Level is not very proficient, so only powers of the Heavenly Level and above do such a thing without fear.

And usually [Forced Understanding] was used by the powers of God-Level, to teach their servants and disciples, some techniques of Cultivation or High-Level Martial arts, but that one should not fall into the hands of others.

It can be said that [Forced Understanding] would be the act of learning and understanding something, but incapable of transferring such knowledge to others, no matter how hard you try, it will be impossible for you to pass on such teachings to others, at least not as good as the one you forcibly taught.

Julius used [Forced Comprehension] a lot in his past life, so he knows very well how it is the reaction of those who are getting the understanding by force, usually, they sweat buckets and feel a lot of pain, but that's just a matter of moments, but seeing the reaction of the young people, who are oblivious to these golden threads entering their minds, clearly giving them some kind of knowledge, Julius knew that it was something like [Forced Comprehension].

But then he realized something, no one else could see those golden threads, which means that it is related to his past life, Julius had realized this since he was born, his soul is strange, it is not something harmful, it is something excellent, that would be the Energy of the Cosmos, that was connected to his soul and it was impossible to abandon or lose.

He gained such a thing by entering the Kingdom of the God of the Cosmos when he acquired the Energy of the Cosmos, he knew those whole Universes were under his control and it would only be a matter of time before he became an Entity, perhaps in 100,000 years, he could have become an Entity, imagine an Entity, one of the most powerful beings existing, an infinite life and inability to die, less than 500,000 years old, that would be something unprecedented, something enviable by any living being.

But Julius did not wish to become an Entity, at least not after he had lost her, she was all he had left, accompanying him for over 200,000 years, his great and last love, Julius abandoned millions of talented women and in love with him, refused many, only to stay with her, he loved her from the bottom of his heart and was the same for her.

And in the end, she died poisoned in his arms and her last words were words of repentance, repentant for not having been able to heal her hesitation to have children and for not having been able to give birth to one of his children.

Such a thing shook him very much and he mourned for a whole month, of course, he had made the traitor who tried to poison him suffer the worst of the tortures, all the more so when he advanced to the Kingdom of God of the Cosmos, Julius made sure that this person would not die, he would suffer unimaginable torture for the next 5 million years.

'Speaking of that bastard, is he still alive?' - Asked Julius with a dense murderous intention arising from the back of his eyes, a sensitive old man felt it and looked around full of alert, but did not notice anything, but his heartbeat intensely in terror.

…

As Julius watched those golden threads that seemed to transmit something, suddenly he saw some of the young people being abandoned by those golden threads, it seemed the golden threads were choosing, they ignored over 250 young people in a matter of seconds and none of them noticed anything.

Gradually the golden threads came together and soon circulated 3 young people, but then the golden threads abandoned 2 of the young people and focused on just one, it was a young man with an arrogant look on his face, he had a confident and disdainful smile.

And when everyone thought that nothing else would happen... the sky suddenly lit up and a gigantic blue pillar descended on the young man's body surrounded by the golden threads!

"AN AWAKENING OF GRIMOIRE! SOMEBODY AWAKENED A GRIMOIRE!!!!" - Suddenly one of the calm and indifferent old men couldn't hold his shock and started screaming aloud.

He was not only shocked, everyone, including Diogo, was shocked by the sight, but it was also almost 40 years since someone with Grimoire had been born in his city.

And while everyone was shocked, an old man suddenly blew up in laughter. - "That's my grandson! My pride! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

In the high and proud laughter of the old man, everyone looked at him and then at the young man, curious Julius asked his grandfather. - "Who is he, Grandpa?"

Diogo scratched his chin a little and then said. - "That old man there is called Altair Fallin, he is the Head of the Fallin Family, our families are neutral and we never interfere with each other, that young man surrounded by the blue pillar, I don't know who he is, but he must be one of his 50 grandchildren." - There was a touch of envy in Diogo's words, but then he looked at his grandson and smiled wildly, his grandson was destined to have a natural talent and as far as he knows, Grimórios has high chances to emerge for talented people, the 2nd Ancestor of his Family awakened a Common Grimoire, one of his reasons having far surpassed his father, but unfortunately died and can not raise the status of the Sky'Dragon Family more than that.

So it can be said that Diogo was very confident in his grandson having high chances of awakening a Grimoire, so when that happens, it will be him who will receive jealous and jealous looks from all these old men, so he didn't pay more attention to the old man being praised and congratulated, he didn't even try to make friends with the old man.

…

"Ramon Fallin, congratulations on awakening a Rare Grade Grimoire, the Kingdom of Clear Waters sends you an invitation to attend the capital!" - Suddenly a loud voice echoed when the blue pillar that reached the heavens disappeared and the young man had returned to himself.

This person who shouted aloud was a man who had a majestic and impotent aura, wearing a majestic golden armor with pictures of lions.

Seeing this, many young people sent jealous glances to Ramon, the Kingdom of Clear Waters was the Kingdom they are part of, they have access to countless resources and treat everyone with great talent as if they were heavenly treasures.

2,000 years ago, a young man who awakened a Rare Grimoire accepted to join the Kingdom's armed forces and 5 years later became the husband of a princess, 30 years later he became the King of the Kingdom.

It can be said that all those with talents are immensely favored, especially those with Grimoires, who have unlimited talents.

But when the young man was about to speak, soon other loud and impotent voices with a similar or even greater aura than the man in golden armor sounded.

"We the Dawn Sect are willing to accept you as a Core Disciple!"

"We, the Sect of the Mist Path, are willing to accept you as a Nucleus Disciple!"

"We, the Firm of the Hand of the Giant, are willing to accept you in our ranks as an honorary elder and be properly nurtured!"

…

Soon dozens of powerful forces, no less than the kingdom of Clear Waters, pronounced fearlessly what left the man in very angry golden armor, but he said nothing and only waited.

And then a majestic voice sounded, shocking everyone.

"I, the Master of the Sect of Ghostly Steps, am willing to take him as my disciple, just as I will give him an Epic Degree Beast to make a contract!" - Said a majestic old man floating in the sky, making all powers, without exception, shut up in fear and terror.

No one dared to make a sound and with one look, Julius knew, this person who has just appeared is in the Transcendent Kingdom.

Ramon Fallin quickly knelt towards the old man and screamed. - "I, Ramon Fallin, am willing to recognize the Master of the Sect of Ghostly Steps as my Master!"

Listening to Ramon, many elders of the various powers, including the man of the Kingdom of Clear Waters, sighed depressed, for they had just lost a very valuable treasure.

And with a victorious smile on his face, the Master of the Ghostly Steps Sect waved his hands, and presently the young Ramon was taken to heaven, smiling, he said. - "Take me to your residence, I'll talk to your elders!"

Hearing this, Ramon respectfully bowed down and soon pointed in the direction, the old man at the top of the hotel seeing and hearing this, quickly descended, bidding farewell to all in haste, he would not dare leave a Transcendent Kingdom expert waiting long.

...

"What a lucky bastard, awakening a Rare Grade Grimoire and being accepted as a disciple of the Shadow of the Slaughter, a really lucky bastard, this Ramon!" - Said a disdainfully jealous young man.

"Are you crazy? Now that Ramon has awakened a Grimoire, he will only grow in the future and we can never reach him!" - An angry young woman said when she covered the young man's mouth, but the young man stopped her and said, growling coldly.

"Who cares? Everyone here knows how garbage Ramon is, his talent is the lowest among all of us, with 17 years old, he is still a Bronze Fighter of Stage 3, we have already advanced to Stages 8 to 9, we have always despised this garbage, now he for some joke from heaven if…" - Before the young man could continue talking, suddenly another young man came and had already hit him in his face with a strong fist.

"Just shut up, you retard, you worthless piece of junk! Don't you dare speak ill of Young Master Ramon with your filthy mouth, or I'll make him swallow all your rotten teeth!" - Said the disdainfully angry man, just behind him, there was a group of seven young men with similar looks.

Seeing this, the young man who now had a bleeding nose looked up furiously and said. - "Samuel, you bastard! Die!" - As soon as he shouted, he already advanced to punch the young man who hit him, but then… all 7 young men began to surround him and beat him.

The young woman who tried to shut the young man's mouth before, put her hands on her mouth and did not utter a word, afraid that she would be beaten instead of the idiot who has just spoken badly about someone who has just awakened a Grimoire, it is obvious that Ramon's status has risen a lot.

Without saying that the arrogant young masters who once despised Ramon and who had a bit of intelligence, were sweating cold, Samuel and the seven young men were one of those who were sweating cold, for they had insulted Ramon in the past, but seeing the opportunity to approach Ramon, beating up this retarded man who knows his place, what can get into Ramon's ears and make him forget his past complaints, why don't these young men take advantage of that?

So this poor, arrogant, stupid young master was brutally beaten until his mother could not recognize him.

…

Julius sitting on his grandfather's lap, saw such a scene at a glance but did not care much, he remembers that something similar happened in his past life when he was accepted by his master, his master's son at the time became angry and full of disdain, and his friends who had humiliated him and even beaten him were brutal in beating him, making him know his place, but after he had a little strength, he returned and killed everyone, not caring what they did for him, Julius still killed them mercilessly for everything he suffered.

He just looked at the sky and saw little by little the golden threads disappear, the sky soon returned to normal, the mood in the city was very lively because finally after 40 years, someone with a Grimoire had been born in his city.

And the most lively place was the Fallin Family Residence, which will receive a meteoric rise after today.
