Origin Flow

When Skye left the arena, she made her way back to her dorm. While she was moving through the air she had a look of contemplation. It would be common for someone to fall into a deep thought, replaying their fight, right? 

Yes, normally that would be the case. Skye, however, she was different, she wasn't replaying her fight. She was actually thinking of events that had yet to come. Skye was your ordinary student; she was actually a regressor. About 20 years ago during her seclusion she recovered her memories of her past life. 

While she was flying, she thought to herself.

'Hmm, there are definitely some things that are different. In my previous life those first-year students did not attend the fight. However, that's a bit irrelevant, I need to keep preparing and find some allies before shit gets real.' 

After she thought this, she entered a portal that was on top of one of the floating structures in the sky.

In the plaza the top ten first year students were all gathered waiting for their instructors. They had parted ways with Lex and Talon after the fight ended. After seeing the fight some of them had yet to calm down. Mainly Jovian Savant 

"I really can't wait for some action! That fight just made me even eager, I may just enter another seclusion to enter the next rank!" He said 

"Well, I do agree with that." Ethan said 

While these two were talking Lucas was chatting with his dear sister. 

"Raven why do you feel.... different? You also look a bit different too." He asked 

"Hmm?" Raven looked at her brother with a raised eyebrow. 

"I did change, Lucas. During my seclusion I gained a bit of insight into the path I want to walk." She said with a grin that wasn't warming at all. 

Seeing this grin Elara giggled from the side.

"Hehe, truly a bloody maniac." 

"What do you mean the path you want to walk?" Lucas asked as his tone was becoming slightly overbearing. 

"Lucas." Raven said flatly as she looked Lucas directly into his eyes. Her eyes were pools of blood, and they flashed coldly. Seeing his little sister like this a chill went down his spine.

"I am not a child anymore. Watch how you speak to me." After she heard him raising his voice at her, all explanation went out the window. After the time she spent with Akasha her feelings were becoming heavier and heavier. And she was becoming a slight yandere. 

Why would she let another man rudely question her? 

She wouldn't! If Lucas weren't her brother, then she would be bathing in his blood right now. 

She walked past him and went to stand near Elara who was still giggling. 

"Hmmm, I should think of a cute nickname for you, shouldn't I?" She asked Raven 

"Hmph, He should be lucky he's, my brother!" She said while pouting. Her change of mood was ridiculous to say the least. As the two of them chatted their instructors appeared in front of the group. 

Riona stepped up forward and begin speaking.

"I'm sure you all were fascinated by the fight that happened not too long ago. Now, I don't know how you all are feeling but use that fight as motivation! That was just a small peak to the long road of power. Both of those students are Late-Stage Rebirth rank, which is only a major rank ahead of you and a few minors. So, continue building your power and you too will be able to experience something like that.

Now enough of that. We have gathered to inform you that in a month's time you will taking your very first mission. Usually, you wouldn't take a mission for many years, but as you know times are different now. You all will be entering a secret realm that is said to hold the legacy of powerhouse from primordial times. So, prepare yourself well and we will meet here again in a month." 

Hearing this the students were ecstatic. They all expected they would be thrown into seclusion again, but hearing they would finally get some action they almost couldn't control themselves.

"Fucking finally!!! Wooooo!" Of course this was Jovian, he was probably the most excited of all.

"Is there any other information about the secret realm?" Lyria asked as she was excited, but she wouldn't allow that to cloud her judgement. 

"For the moment we are still gathering the specifics. We will have all the details before you depart." Riona spoke up. To this the students nodded and then she left one last message before leaving.

"You may go away with your instructors to prepare as much as you can before the deadline." We she said this Liora nodded at Raven and Elara before the three disappeared. 

After they left everyone went to prepare.

The Sanctuary 

Raven, Elara, and Liora appeared in the beautiful landscaped of The Sanctuary. When they appeared Luna and Elysia appeared too. Looking at them the three ladies smiled before getting down to business. 

Looking at Raven and Elara, Liora spoke 

"In this months' time I want you two to focus on increasing your cultivation as much as you can. On this trip there will be countless other people from all across the Galaxy entering this realm. So, to be prepared we need to increase your strength." 

"That many people? Will there be anyone above the Ultimate Core rank?" Elara asked 

"No, Only Ultimate Core rank will be able to enter. But still during the prelude of the Supreme Golden Age, there will be people just as talented as you two perhaps even more talented." Liora said 

"Okay so what's the next step. How do we progress further in the Ultimate Core rank?" Raven asked 

"Well, it's pretty simple actually. The process is similar to the Golden Core rank except you will be using your laws instead of affinities. Currently, your core should be full of cracks, to go further you will need to bathe your core in your law essence. 

This is the same as when you molded your core with your affinities. This time you will just add your comprehension into your essence. After you finish this step, you will enter the middle stage. To reach the late stage, you will need to fuse your Laws into your core. This will cause more cracks to appear, once it reaches the brink you will enter peak. 

Once you reach Peak you will need to explode your core. When you explode your core, you must contain all the energy to prevent any to leak and then you will need allow the essence of your core to flow into your sea of consciousness.

This will open your sea of consciousness, and it will nurture your soul. At this point you will be at the Early-stage Rebirth rank."

Hearing the lengthy explanation the girls nodded before Raven asked

"How do we even know where our sea of consciousness is located?" 

"Well, it's located deep within your mind. Once you explode your core you will be naturally drawn to its location."

The two woman nodded and prepared to leave before Luna stopped them.

[Wait. You two should stop once you reach Late-Stage. After reaching the late stage try comprehending a few more rules before exploding your core. If you do this you will be stronger than others at the same rank.] 

Hearing this the girls nodded then left, but Liora was surprised to hear that.

"How come I've never learned something like that before?" She asked while looking at Luna.

[Well, I'm not too sure this is common knowledge in a lot of places.] Luna said 

"Sister you might not know, but the situation in Universe 4 changed a few epochs ago. The ruler of this Universe changed, and this led to a lot of knowledge being limited to the major population." Elysia spoke out. She knew more about the situation because she literally lived in an all-knowing Library.

[Eh? Really?]

"Universe 4? Is that our universe?" Liora asked from the side. 

"Yes, it is, you will learn more about it later. And yes, sister only those who have connections to those powerhouses in the wider universe then they would not be privy to this knowledge."

[Hmm, that's interesting. Liora, you have nothing to worry about though, you actually in luck since you have undergone your second mortal shedding so you can fix you foundation still.]

Hearing this Liora nodded while breathing a sigh of relief. She was indeed worried even though she didn't say anything. She then looked at Akasha again before asking 

"Do you think he will be done in time before we leave?"

[Hmm? Yea he should finish the day you leave if my estimations are right. He is only creating the first Level to this technique so he shouldn't take too long.]

"Okay that's good. I'm going to run a few errands, I'll come back later." Liora said before disappearing. 

While everyone went a did their separate things. Akasha was still deep in his cultivation. The amount of knowledge he was going through to make his technique was absurd. He was learning techniques from even the primordial times. 

As he sat there unmoving time passed by quickly.
