Chapter 195 - IX Origin Path

On the streets of Peuh, the Mortal Alliance envoys watched hundreds of six to nine year old children running towards the tallest building of Polaris, Polaris Origin Institute located in the old sky tower.

"That is what I'm most proud of, let's go watch one of the lessons.  I believe you all will understand how amazing the Origin Path is." Taking the envoys to one of the classrooms in the first floor, the young male teacher bowed to Elijah as they headed to the end of the classroom. Forty children were running and playing as the teacher who was placing a few silver boxes on the table,  he turned to the children and shouted.

"Everyone! The class is about to begin. As I said yesterday, today we will have lessons of the many types of Origin and how to know if the one in your hand is compatible with you." Opening the first box, a thin red gem came to view. With small flames flowing around the gem like water, The teacher showed the gem to everyone, Jin Yang and the Phoenix sister stared at the gem with starling eyes.

"The first type is the Elemental type. As I explained  before, each origin has their own separate laws which means even a god of fire can't control the flames inside this little thing and this origin of fire can't control the flames of a god. Being able to manifest as almost any element, the elemental type is the easiest to merge with. Now let's go to the other types..."

At the end of class, no one of  the envoys could believe what they just heard. Then Elijah took them to see the competition of the two most talented students in the main institute on Origin City.

In a large arena, a twelve-year old boy and girl stepped on the ring. Luka Raid, an origin master with the superpower type origin, Astral Projection Origin(Second Stage) and Jodie Sharp with her Soul Metal Origin(Second Stage).  

Start! Without wasting time talking, Luka summoned dozens of projection of  demons and scary monsters and sent them towards Jodie who cut through the projections just with a sharp knife on her hand but soon they would regenerate and rush at her again.

"Astral Projection: Demon Forest!" Light blinded everyone's eyes as they arena turned in a blood-colored land with freakishly tall trees emerging from the ground as the demon projection used the shadow given by the trees as a cover while rushing over without her noticing.

"Soul Metal Bomb!" Smashing her hands together, she compressed air into a thin metal sphere and took a massive leap just a blade came rushing at her neck leaving the sphere behind. Then she turned her gaze to Elijah and the envoys.

"Master, can use it?"

"Of course. Everyone, cover your ears."Elijah nodded with his head and covered his ears at the same time the other spectators did the same and covered their ears. The envoys, seeing how everyone covered their ears, they knew something was going to happen and did the same without asking why.

"I've to be prepared, the last time she used this bomb nearly half of the city was destroyed. I will have to evacuate Luka if something goes wrong." Elijah murmured and everyone around  him turned their eyes at him and stared blankly.       

"Her origin is similar to one of mine. Just now, she compressed air and all her energy in that small sphere, but with her soul metal amplification capacity, the explosion of the energy and compressed air inside the sphere will be amplificated to a 50-kiloton nuclear warhead. Of course Luka can survive, but I'm not so sure about the rest of the city..." No one understood Elijah's comparison with a nuclear warhead as they had not idea what it was, but this didn't made the threat or the power that thin sphere represented.

A loud SWIIIRIIIILLL ranged in their heads and hammered their souls as the entire astral forest and demons vanished. Luka was sent flying by the huge explosion but a light blue and illusory armor protected his  body from any damage as he fell onto the ground, when he opened his eyes, Jodie was touching his neck with the tip of a longsword. Luckly, the arena was intact as Elijah covered the entire city with a layer of his energy.

The people of the Mortal Alliance could not be more surprised as they realized the potential of  the Origin Path. They send the message and recordings what they saw to the higher ups of the Immortal Palace and a Protector of the Alpha Court was sent with a contract. From now on, the mortal alliance would see the Origin as a true path of cultivation and will send some of their talents  and people to learn more about it. In the end, a quote of forty people per year was decided and only children above six could compete for the quotes while four researchers were allowed to live in the origin city and learn more of the origins from Elijah.

Soon, when everything was settled. Elijah headed to the underground to see Thunder who was taking care of his mother as Elijah told him he was setting out on a journey towards his planet that now he knew where it was. Sending a message to Yawn on the parallel earth, they reunited on Orion Palace.

"So you finally know where your planet is? I'm happy that you met your ancestor." Yawen petted his head with a motherly air as they rested on bed. They would always meet each month in the last six years but they never had enough time to stay like this on bed. Suddenly, Yawen turned to him and asked.

"What would you thing of having a child?"

"Wh-What!?" Elijah nearly choked to death as he looked at his eyes. Surely, she really meant what she said, but Elijah had no idea about what he should say.

"Since my last breakthrough I gained full control of this body. Just one of your seeds will be enough..." Elijah not even replied as he jumped above her.

"Sister Spirit, set the course to alpha centauri and shut the lights. I will do some exercises with Yawen here."
