[Congratulation, You've Fulfilled All Conditions and Are Ready To Ascend!]
Golden rain fell from the sky as if to drown the realm in its sorrow over the loss of a long-term friend.
Crimson Pillars of light ascended all over the realm where the palms fell. The station where Draco was situated was saved by the commander, Alexander, whose wives were there, and the elders, however, the others weren't so lucky.
After the great catastrophe, Draco's system appeared to congratulate him on completing all of the conditions and being eligible for... ascension.
Indeed, Ascension and not Evolution. After one becomes an Origin Emperor and fulfills all of his conditions, he can ascend anytime, with the choice of staying to temper himself with the tribulations or risking everything and coming out stronger.
There are 9 tribulations, and one could only go through them within the final 9 floors of the Tower.
It was worth noting that the final Evolution was this Ascension to Celestialhood.
Draco looked to his sides and then he sensed the elders on the right, floating atop the Station they just saved, Alexander and Leona floating with them.
{Chaos Teleportation}
With a single spell, Draco appeared next to the elders, ready for his final goodbye before he went back to his continent.
"Alexander, we're moving as soon as possible." He announced.
The elders, hearing this, turned to look at him, their eyes somber.
"You're leaving already, young Draco?" the deer elder asked, speaking politely yet in a way that made him show his fondness for Draco.
"Yes, elder. I'm planning on ascending through the tower." Draco replied, speaking politely.
"Good, good. What do you say we teleport you directly to the Central Continent?" The elder asked, wanting to ease things up for Draco.
"Hmm, that would be helpful, actually." Draco thought for a second and replied. He was planning on using his connection with the Blazin Sect elder of the Celestial Academy to use the tower.
Aside from that, Leona and Alexander were also going to closely follow Draco so they could ascend too.
What Draco was leaving behind was, namely:
Marco the saint, who turned out to be more useless than Draco had hoped.
The six continents and Draco's empire were going to be completely forgotten, though they could be of use when he becomes a celestial in the way they could give birth to potential talents.
And lastly, the XP Mutliplier Unique Skill he had also turned out to be useless sooner than Draco had guessed.
All in all, aside from a few select individuals, Draco was going to ditch everything in his attempt to ascend, and one of them... was Elfina.
The poor girl, day after day after Draco left, came back from work to an empty house.
The maids, butlers, and chefs were there, working normally, but the one who made her everyday life so fun and enjoyable... was gone.
Day after day, she thought that maybe it was some mission; maybe something important came up, but... he normally told her, so why?
It was only a month after Draco left that she started to doubt.
He was never gone for this long, did he die? Impossible... or was it?
Did he ditch her? Not Draco, no... Or did he?
Did he just use her? Not with the way he treated her... maybe not.
She didn't know anymore, she tried to stop thinking and just wait for him.
One day... one day, hopefully, he would enter the door, smile at her, hug her, take her out to dinner and after that, they would have the best time together... And then in the morning, he would make her the coffee that enchanted every second of her daily life. She would shower and dress up for him and he would compliment her, then drive her all the way to the guild.
Was this... all gone?
