Cheats and Future Plans

As Akasha and Luna were talking to each other, they all made it onto the ship. The interior of the ship was fairly basic. It was just a spacious deck and that's it, but it was enough space for at least a football field. This was one of the lower graded artifacts they had, but it was enough for this trip. There was a thin barrier that separated them from the space outside. 

As they all got settled, Riona spoke out 

"We will be gone for quite a while. The trip to the secret realm will take about three months, so you can take the time to further prepare. As said before this is a legacy left from the primordial era. From the research we've gathered the time inside of the realm moves faster than on the outside. You should spend about 6 months on the inside, aside from the main legacy

there are plenty other treasures and things that could help with your growth. That's enough for now, you may do as you please." Riona said before she went to talk to Liora and Jax. 

While this was going on Luna was explaining the different systems to Akasha.

[Well, there is one main detail that could tell you which system it is. All systems or cheats granted by the Akashic Records have 'Cosmic' in the title or something similar. The system that Krax has is one that was gifted by a Higher Being.]

'Hmm, are there any other cheats or something similar?' Akasha asked.

[Fufufu~ Dear you really should've listened to me after your illusion ended. As I said before everything you read about in those novels were based upon reality. So, yes there are tons of cheats out there.

You will most likely see a few during the secret realm. There are innate physiques, special pupils, systems, traits, and even cosmic treasures. The stronger you become, the more you will see these things.]

'Yea you're right I should've indeed listened more closely. This is not a bad thing though, it would make things more interesting at least.' He said to Luna before he turned to Raven and Elara. He smiled seeing them as they were observing the surroundings.

He grabbed both of their hands while saying.

"Ladies let's go find somewhere to chill, we have a few things to discuss."

Feeling him grab onto their hands Raven and Elara blushed while nodding their heads. He led them to a random area on the ship that was a way from the others. They sat down cross-legged before he began. 

"Now, we haven't had too much time to really bond because of everything that happened. When we're done with this mission, we will do something together." He started of saying 

"It's fine Akasha we know how important it is to get stronger. As long as we are with you then that's enough." Raven said 

"Yes, in the grand scheme of things we are too weak. While you were in seclusion we watched a fight against the two top students in the academy. And if we were to fight either one of them, we would be helpless." Elara added on 

Hearing this Akasha smiled even more 

"Haha good! We will still create some amazing memories together though that's for sure. And I'm interested in the fight you watched, but I want to let you two in on my plans."

The girls focused up when he mentioned his future plans.

"First like Elara said we are indeed too weak right now and there are a lot of lurking dangers. We need allies, a strong force, and that's exactly what I intend to create. I want to make a force that belongs solely to our family. 

This force will be called 'Twilight Echoes'. When we finish this mission, we will begin with this. Each of you and my future companions will be the head of a sub faction. This sub faction will answer to you and only you so you will also need to recruit the members on your own." He looked at the women giving them time to digest this information.

"What kind of lurking dangers are you talking about though?" Raven asked. She didn't mind creating a faction at all, if Akasha wanted to then she would follow. Instead, she wanted to know what exactly they were dealing with.

"Are you talking about the Supreme Golden Age?" Elara asked as she too wanted to know.

"Yes and No. As you know Kalpa as been peaceful for at least the last 45,000 years, but before that? Shit was ugly." He said in a slightly serious tone before he continued

"50,000 years ago, something called the 'Forbidden War' happened and Kalpa was engulfed in a major war that nearly wiped to races out of existence."

"H-HUH?!" Elara exclaimed 

"H-how is something like that possible? We never even heard of this in any history books back in our clans." Raven said 

"Well, that's because it's 'Forbidden'. Likely this information is only known to those who were present at the time. Anyways during this war, a race called the 'Titans' betrayed Kalpa. Long story short the Titans made contact with others on a Supreme world. 

This led to the Titans eventually waging war on all races with the goal of becoming the sole ruling race. The werewolf kind died in the war and the wolves were nearly wiped out too. They were fortunately saved by the Matriarch of the Fox Tribe. 

Over time the Titans fell into a disadvantage and they were in turn wiped out. That's why you never see any pureblooded Titans on Kalpa. But what all the leaders of Kalpa didn't know was that the King of Titans had a plan B.

Before the war began, he sent the prince of Titans away from Kalpa along with a few others in hopes of saving their bloodline." He said as he summarized the story of the Forbidden War for them.

"That's insane!" Raven said as she couldn't believe this news.

"I know right! To think something like this happened." Elara added before she took a look of contemplation then look towards Akasha.

"...So how does this relate to us now?" She asked him. Although she felt this news was unbelievable, she still couldn't understand how this was a lurking danger. 

"Haha, I knew one of you would ask that. Well, let's just say the Prince of Titans survived and maybe he wants revenge." He said with a sly smirk 

"How can you be so sure of that though?" Raven asked 

"Heh, well, his son is currently one of the top ten students of the first year." He said while pointing towards Krax who was cultivating in the distance. 

"N-no way!"

"Crazy."

The girls said as the found all of this way too bizarre. 

"Haha this just makes everything more interesting!" Akasha said before continuing 

"Luna also told me you two increased your cultivations, congratulations! We should use these three months to build our strength some more too. When we finish this mission, we should be strong enough to start recruiting members."

"Okay dear~" Raven said while giving him a hug before she started cultivating. Elara also joined in too she wouldn't miss a hug from Akasha for nothing!

After the girls started to cultivate Akasha stood up and walked towards Liora who was currently talking to Jax and Riona. Seeing him Liora smiled lightly before saying 

"Akasha, do you need anything?" 

"Nothing in particular I was wondering how long until we leave?" He said casually 

"We will depart in about 5 minutes we were just giving you all time to settle in." She said to which Akasha nodded before leaving. 

After some waiting the ship began to rise until it broke the atmosphere. When it reached space, it stopped moving for a bit and then sped away. Feeling the movements, the students all opened their eyes to see the space around. 

They were shocked to see just outside of Kalpa there was entire structures, it looked like some sort of cosmic city. It had towers, buildings, and even islands all seemingly hanging in space. As the ship began to move further away their view shifted to darkness. Even though it was dark it was still beautiful, because one could see the beautiful celestial bodies all around in the far distance.

Seeing this Akasha spoke to Luna

'Can you reactivate my concealment on my robes? I want to cultivate on top of the ship barrier while we travel.' 

[Of course, dear~] She said and with a snap of her fingers. She activated his robes and then moved him on top of the barrier. 

Feeling the changes Akasha smiled and then sat down cross-legged. When he sat down Luna appeared in his lap and Elysia appeared next to them. 

*mwah*

He gave luna a small kiss on the cheek and then gave Elysia a hug.

"Haha, now let's cultivate a bit."

[Jerk!] Luna said while blushing 

"I deserve kisses too!" Elysia protested
