The Green Lightning Dynasty's Ruler felt how the Aura of an Archon burst outward in the southern most Territory. With his Domain he saw that it was Shi Changmao, remembering how this man robbed his Son, he had to chuckle. His Son had needed that.

Someone entered the Palaces garden; it was the Royal Divinator. "My Ruler, in a few minutes I will have my greatest Prediction, but I don't know if I will survive it." The Ruler nodded "I'll try my best to keep you out of harm." while the Divinator sat in front of him in the lotus position, preparing to receive his greatest Divination.

Space broke and the other two Archons appeared, they too sat down, watching their closest friend. "In seventeen seconds!" The Royal Divinator exclaimed, his eyes began to glow in a white light.

From on moment to another, the Divinator's Aura changed, it resembled that of the Heavens slightly. The glowing eyes looked around, changing their focus thousands of times per second. Then they locked onto something, it seemed to be the Green Crystal Flowers growing in the garden, but in fact it was something he saw within his Vision.

The Divinator opened his Mouth and began speaking, while listening a growing force was assaulting the Rulers Domain beyond the Sky. Heavenly Lightnings bombarded it! Currently their Strength was only of the lower Lord Realm, but with every Word spoken by the Royal Divinator their Strength increased, then it reached the peak of Lords! The Ruler thought 'Please finish soon! If this goes on and reaches my Level than you'll certainly die! I don't want to lose such a close friend…'

Seeing the Rulers changing expression, both Archons felt a heavy burden. Then the Royal Divinator paused for a moment and began his final Prediction, with each Word the expressions of the Ruler and Archons changed to one of shock! The final word was spoken, and a mid-Ruler Realm Lightning hit the Rulers Domain! The Domain shock and cracks appeared, but it held steady.

The shocked expression of the Ruler changed to one of exhaustion, he had managed to block it. But then the Royal Divinator collapsed onto the ground! He had survived, but at what cost?

Wang Lei had taken preparations, a weak ago he had reached the peak of the Lord Realm and with only a little push he would break through. When breaking through, he wanted to suppress his Draconic instincts as best as possible to prevent another shattering to the Sky. The Dynasty's Ruler had said he too would suppress it.

He hugged his children and gave his wife a kiss, "I'll be right back." then he entered his cultivation room, a strong Qi permeated the air. Lei sat down and his Qi began moving, a golden glimmer started radiating through the door and graced his family waiting there.

The Golden Blood within his Veins started boiling and his body began changing. At first it was only his skin; it died and regrew countless time, so much that a pile of bust began forming around him! With each regrowth then skin became denser and denser.

Then his bones began dissolving, a very painful process, until nothing was left. He felt like he could collapse any moment. Then the process began reversing. His bones returned, but this time the golden Qi permeated it.

He felt how all his Qi fell into his Soul, being absorbed and refined. This was something the Ruler had tould him, when one became an Archon, their Qi would be changed and no longer compatible with the Earth's Qi! This was something of great importance as from that on out ones Qi would be like an extension of one's Body. Like a part of one.

The Golden Light increased in intensity and then began piercing trough the Walls! It moved right trough them! Once again the Capital of the Green Lightning Dynasty was graced by the Golden Light! But this time not as a beacon of hope, but as a declaration of power! The powerful Domain of the Dynasty's Ruler began isolating the Palace, cutting of the Space, making it impossible to enter or leave for someone of a lower Realm. It seemed like a Black Sphere had replaced the Palace. But then something breaking the Rules stating what was possible appeared: The Golden Light penetrated the Border! Even though it only was as weak as a candle, it still was enough to illuminate the entire Sphere of Black.

Nine days passed and the Sphere of Black vanished, a domineering Aura of the Archon Realm shot outwards. Soon every Cultivator of the Green Lightning Dynasty could feel the ascension. A new Archon.

The Dynasty's Ruler could feel how the Ruler of the White Cloud Dynasty bombarded the Sky at their border. He was enraged, for why didn't the Heavens bless him with such a Talented subject?
