  Some of them already had Fate Lines condensed in their bodies, as they now sat serenely while their bodies glowed a tinge of red, small golden colors appearing above them that went to enter their bodies.

  It was these beings who were surrounded by other disciples as they were asked more about their experiences, while Noah found himself alone as the single Red Robed Celestial came to check on him as the first day as a Celestial Disciple progressed.

  To put it simply, these powerful geniuses and natives of the Celestial Star that held huge beliefs in themselves didn't look at Noah as anything much, only the Red Robed Celestial that held their information placing some slight interest on him!

  Noah smiled at this atmosphere as he watched one of the White Robed Disciples begin the process of condensing lines of fate, using the {Fate's Disciple} technique for the first time.

  OOONG!

  A wave of golden light released from his body, calling the attention of numerous practicing disciples and the Celestials as they closely watched this disciple who seemed to have some talent in the law of fate.

  One..two..four...eight...numerous golden lines rapidly formed above his head as they went to descend to his body, a vibrant feeling of strength releasing from him as words of acknowledgment rang out from the Red Robed Celestial.

  "Being able to condense 10 Fate Lines the moment you step onto the Law of Fate is good, and it means you have good possibilities for the future!"

  The young genius nodded with a passionate face as he closed his eyes and returned to meditation, much of his energy spent to condense these 10 Fate Lines as he slowly retrieved before he began the process of slowly collecting more Fate Lines.

  "I can tell you all the number of Fate Lines now for you to have a goal in mind. 1-100 Fate Lines make you eligible to be a full-fledged White Robed Celestial Disciple, going past 100 and nearing 10,000 Fate Lines puts you at the peak of Black Robed Celestial Disciples, going past 10,000 and nearing the limit of 100,000 Fate Lines relinquishes your role as a Disciple and makes you a Celestial, putting you above even me, who only holds 37,145 Fate Lines currently!"

  The Red Robed Celestial resonantly spoke as Noah learned more about the terms of the Celestials, committing them to memory as he observed a few other scenes occurring throughout the next few minutes.

  A white robed disciple activated {Fate's Disciple} next as he shockingly was able to condense 25 Fate Lines instantly!

  Another disciple began the process as they condensed 15. Another condensed 5 right away, with a fourth one causing a resonance of essence as they condensed more than 40 Fate Lines in but an instant!

  "Good, it seems like we have many good seeds this time around."

  The Red Robed Celestial nodded with a proud expression as the training continued, only a few disciples like Noah remaining who had not begun the process of condensing their first Fate Lines.

  The gazes of the other geniuses who were recuperating their energies turned towards those who had not yet begun condensing their lines of fate as the remaining disciples were put on the spotlight.

  A disciple from the Stone Race rattled as he received the gazes of numerous disciples and the two Celestials, closing his eyes as he initiated {Fate's Disciple}, a golden light shining down that slowly began fizzling before it reached him.

  The proud light on the Red Robed Celestial's face was wiped away as he sighed and pityingly spoke.

  "No talent as of now. Work hard in the future."

  The words were impassive as their gazes moved on to the next disciple, this time a being of the human race whose face was holding a determined expression after seeing the failure of the last disciple.

  They initiated {Fate's Disciple} as they watched to their dismay...only 2 Fate Lines descending down!

  "Subpar talent."

  The impassive words of the Red Robed Celestial rang out as the gazes of disciples and Celestials alike continued to move on to more beings, a competitive atmosphere occupying the surroundings as some shone in the spot light while others sputtered out in shame.

  15 Fate Lines.

  "Good!"

  5 Fate Lines.

  "Subpar."

  20 Fate Lines.

  "A Talent!"

  Noah observed this process continuing with a smile, the numbers of disciples who had not yet condensed their Fate Lines reducing until only he was left among the joining White Robed Disciples who had yet to use {Fate's Disciple} for the first time.

  The gazes of the proud disciples that were called talents or geniuses landed on him, the probing gazes of the two Red Robed Celestials arriving soon after as they watched to see what this being who had arrived last among the party of disciples had to offer.

  His heart was calm as he took in the gaze of the many beings without any sense of nervousness, his mind replaying the words of the Grandmaster who talked about fate.

  'Fate favors those with high aspirations who also happen to act on their aspirations and influence the beings around them huh?'

  The words of the Grandmaster rang in his ears as he thought about himself. He thought of his own aspirations, the things he had already done, the things he planned to do, and the influence he already had on the numerous planets and beings connected to him.

  If all of this was put into the picture…

  A confident smile appeared on his face as he thought about this, realizing where some of the strength of the Celestials came from as he thought of all the stars in the Light Expanse that they held sway over.

  No wonder that those in the Dark Expanse lost to them!

  No wonder their strength seemed to completely overpower everything else!

  Just from the first hour of his entrance into their Celestial Star, he had learned one of the core things behind their source of strength- which was the more entities one influenced the fates of, the stronger the power of the Law of Fate they could display.

  As for himself? When it came to aspirations, there were many, and they were huge! When it came to connections, he had literal connections of worlds attached to him! When it came to the most crucial aspect of embarking on the path of the Supreme Law of Fate, actually taking the steps towards one's own grand aspirations...he had always continued to do this, and at an extremely rapid rate at that!

  So when it came to his talent to amass these so-called lines of fate?

  A dangerous smile appeared on Noah's face as he prepared to do something huge. He had arrived in the 7th Celestial Star and was already impressed just in the first hour. He had learned a small bit of their ideology as numerous thoughts passed through his mind, comparing them to his own experiences and the things he heard from Elena. He wanted to peer more into the secrets of the Celestials, and understand even more the core of their power!

  To do this...he would make a shocking first impression on his first day here as he gave them a show they would never be able to forget!

  OOOONG!

  Essence began to tremble around him as the gazes of the many unconvinced disciples and probing Red Robed Celestials watched on, the color of the sky changing as Noah initiated {Fate's Disciple} for the first time.

  Chapter 331 - This is Talent!

  RUMBLE!

  A tremor spread out as the Celestial Grandmaster who had just left the training disciples and teleported into his small monastery surrounded by extravagant medicinal plants opened his eyes and looked towards the location he just left. The Grandmaster, Vredral, found his aged eyes opening wide as his body flashed towards the training grounds once more, his eyes landing on a single being at the training grounds who was shining a brilliant golden light!

  Numerous Fate Lines were converging in the skies, turning the entire area golden as an unforeseen event occurred in the midst of the training grounds. The face of the Grandmaster underwent a change of expressions as he observed the stupendous sight playing out in front of him.

  From all directions in the skies, numerous lines of fate that turned the entire sky a shade of gold had appeared, and
they were all heading towards a single being meditating stably on the clear paradisiacal grassland. His dark hair whipped wildly around him as one could distinctly observe a smile of utter confidence and control!

  ---

  OOONG!

  Noah felt like he could hear the melodic sounds of something that felt foreign yet at the same time was always with him. The moment he initiated the {Fate's Disciple} skill, he became rooted in the spot he was in as he felt a tremendous force appear in the skies.

  He could feel just a portion of this massive force, and he observed the usage of {Fate's Disciple} as it gave him the ability to directly pull a minuscule amount of this tremendous source of strength towards his body!

  WAAA!

  A cacophony of sounds rang out as it felt like a wave of golden light washed over him, his body feeling the descent of numerous brilliant lines that went on to tightly wrap around his Origin. He felt as if he was being elevated to a position he never before knew existed as a profound sense of strength overcame him.

  RUMBLE!

  Line after line descended from the skies as they clutched onto his body as speedily as they could! It was a ridiculous sight for those observing as the Red Robed Celestial had bulging eyes, the cause being that he counted more than 100 Fate Lines descending down in the last few seconds, and it didn't seem like they were stopping!

  The unconvinced White Robed Disciples held disheveled looks as they were blown black by the domineering air being let out by the constantly converging mass of golden lines as they looked forward in shock.

  Those who were proud of the words of praise for being able to condense 20 or 30 Fate Lines at once felt a sense of shame as the words of the Celestial Grandmaster repeated in their minds. They thought they were geniuses, they thought they were talented! But when it came to this being in front of them, what was talent?

  This was talent!

  The Celestial Grandmaster watching from the skies held an indiscernible expression as his vigorous essence in his body moved, summoning a few skills unknowingly as the colors of his eyes became liquid gold.

  Time seemed to have slowed down for him as he gazed in the skies where the numerous Fate Lines were slowly converging, following them as they descended onto the body of one disciple as he tried to discern a few things.

  He was trying to figure out where all these lines of fate were coming from, trying to peer through and understand just what type of fate this disciple in front of him had invited!

  To his surprise, he couldn't follow the origin of the lines as they seemed to condense and rush down to the ground indiscriminately, their source unknown. A pondering look came unto Grandmaster Vredral as he continued to observe, sensing the auras of new arrivals as similarly dressed celestials like him appeared in the skies he floated upon.

  A Celestial that held the unique feature of an exemplary goatee squinted his eyes from the brilliance as he voiced out.

  "What do we have here, Vredral?"

  Their gazes were all locked onto the singular being that continued to absorb Fate Lines rapidly, the number having long surpassed a thousand as it didn't seem like it would stop any time soon!

  "Another disciple with a Noble Fate, and this one seeming much more monstrous than we have seen before."

  A profound reply was released from Vredral as they continued to watch the unfolding events, the celestial with the goatee nodding as he spoke once more, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

  "This is a great boon, but could also be a source for danger."

  "No worries, all that needs to be done is to make sure we properly mold him, and when have we ever failed at that?"

  Grandmaster Vredral quickly replied as the intense golden light in the skies gradually calmed down, the brilliance of colors fading away as a few hundred more fate lines wrapped onto the body of a now floating figure.

  It was a majestic sight to see as numerous Fate Lines were swirling visibly around Noah's body, one of the Red Robed Celestials deploying a technique as a white last passed through his eyes, releasing a sound of shock thereafter as he was able to count exactly how many lines of fate had descended down and locked on to this disciple's body!

  "9,999 Fate Lines all at once!"

  …!!!

  Alarm spread throughout the paradisiacal clearing as this number was mentioned, the pondering looks on the three floating Celestial Grandmasters in the air becoming even deeper.

  The Grandmaster with the goatee spoke to the aged Vredral once more as they observed the stupendous process finishing.

  "That is two beings that hold a Noble Fate on your hands. You are sure you can handle this?"

  An imperceptible smile floated from Grandmaster Vredral's face as he replied with confidence.

  "With extreme confidence. It is even better since both of them can receive tutelage in a similar environment. There is nothing to worry about, Grandmaster Ramiel."

  The Celestial with a pronounced goatee, Grandmaster Ramiel, nodded as his body and the bodies of the other Grandmasters that had come to observe faded away, leaving behind only Grandmaster Vredral as his body slowly floated towards the ground!

  Noah felt his own body that was elevated in the air palpate with a tremendous sense of strength, the numerous glowing lines slowly receding to the deepest portions of his origin. His eyes opened as a glimmer of shimmering light faded, feigning an expression of exhaustion with his gaze landing on his stat panel that showed a new addition.

  [Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(5%)]

  [Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor(Awakening)]

  [Fate Line(s) : 9,999]

  [Vitality: VOID]

  [Focus: - ]

  [Strength: VOID]

  Beneath the portion that showed his bloodline, the number of Fate Lines was displayed as a curious light passed through his eyes, this curiosity being cut short as he felt the aura of a Celestial Grandmaster that had left not too long ago.

  Noah's body instinctively lit up with numerous Fate Lines as the probing gaze of the Grandmaster landed on his body, a shocking thought actually passing through his mind as he realized something stupendous.

  The domineering strength that could make one feel overwhelmed that this Celestial Grandmaster always released...it felt more bearable at this moment as Noah felt like a few shackles became unbound!

  "Genius!"

  Resounding words shattered the atmosphere of stupor as the newly arriving talented disciples were able to see exactly what a true genius was!

  Chapter 332 - Ones with a Noble Fate

  Noah's gaze stayed on the Celestial Grandmaster as he reveled in the feeling of abundance of strength, his thoughts communicating with the Planetary System as he tried to get a better understanding of just what these Fate Lines were.

  [It is a source of power that is hard to quantify. Besides knowing how many Fate Lines you currently have and that they augment your strength, we cannot quantify exactly in what way.]

  Numerous thoughts passed through Noah's mind as he heard this, being pulled out of his thoughts as the Grandmaster came near him with an acknowledging expression.

  "I chose you because of your talent in Aether, but not once did I expect for you to have the talent to be a being blessed with a Noble Fate."

  A foreign set of words were released as Noah quickly caught on and asked quizzically.

  "Noble Fate?"

  "Yes, Noble Fate. It is an indication that a being is meant to have a huge hand to play in the future, affecting the fates of many of those around them. Of course, this is only an indication and is not set in stone. There have been a few beings with Noble Fates in the past who never got to fulfill them, dying early or wasting their lives away. But...those that have managed to use their Noble Fate to the fullest have left behind unforgotten marks in history."

  Noah's eyes shone as these words reached his ears, realizing instinctively that the explosive entrance he wanted to create in this 7th Celestial Star was more than enough!

  The Grandm
aster neared his position as his aged eyes stared at him up and down, shimmering lights passing through them as he nodded and turned to the other talented disciples.

  "This is the type of talent you should all aspire to have. Do not let this young genius's talent shadow your own, and continue working hard."

  The Grandmaster nodded at the Red Robed Celestials that were still looking at Noah as if he was a monster, realization hitting them that if Noah had condensed just a few more Fate Lines, he would have directly skipped the White and Black Robes distinctions and entered the same distinction as them!

  They watched on as the Grandmaster placed his hands on Noah and disappeared, turning to the disciples who still held blank eyes as they spoke.

  "Ahem. Let's continue. After the condensation of fate lines…"

  A discussion continued for the White Robed Disciples in the now peaceful grassland as Noah found himself disappearing and reappearing in a small monastery in an atmosphere that held an even denser concentration of Medicinal Plants than his own Spiritual Land. The monastery was located at the peak of a mountain, a few clouds being visible in the distance as a scene of peace and serenity showed itself.

  "A talent like yours needs strict direction, so I will directly be acting as your teacher from now on."

  The Grandmaster was walking ahead in front of him as he spoke out, an expression of remembrance on his face as he thought of another disciple that fate had pointed to as someone unique, but they had faced their death not too long ago in the First Realm of Hell. Fate was unpredictable in this manner.

  But, this new disciple he was directly taking in was one that held a Noble Fate, something that only one other being had shown an indication of in this 7th Celestial Star!

  His aged figure walked forward as Noah followed close behind, his eyes continuing to gaze over the Medicinal Plants that held an abundant amount of essence as the Grandmaster continued, his perception noticing Noah's looks.

  "Whatever resources you need will be provided to you as you embark on your path on the Supreme Law of Fate. You have just now condensed Fate Lines for the first time, and have not been taught the most proficient way of using them."
