The four of them had seemingly appeared out of thin air as the painting of a once-grand mansion was torn into pieces. Yuno was unconscious from awakening her Yin-Jade Spirit, and reasonably so. The red-haired man laid Yuno on one of the beds as he couldn't contain the tremendous gain he had just received! Although he had heard tales of the Yin-Jade Spirit and its might, witnessing it with his own eyes was a totally different experience. Just its presence alone had been suppressing as its majestic might could not be matched!
Eyeing the teen that has been standing to the side lost in thought, the red-haired man said,
"We leave at sunrise so quickly get your affairs in order." the teen hearing this nodded lightly as he hurriedly left the room.
"So have you decided what you're going to do with the boy?" asked the prince.
"Considering the relationship these two have I doubt she would leave him in this god-forsaken town in the middle of nowhere. Besides taking him with me will bring the most benefits as it'd tie the girl to the Nine Dragon Sect, holding him collateral would be beneficial if she ever thinks of rebelling..."
Hearing such a response, the prince didn't show the slightest of surprise, as he knew well the personality and rationale of the Sect master. Who wouldn't want to have a contingency plan when taking in a future powerhouse? Of course, this might seem a bit scheming and maniacal but that was common in all rulers.

[Reader]: Seems a bit evil but I understand.
[BOB.C]: WTF!!! These bastards want to use me as collateral?! ME?!!!!! How embarrassed would they be when they find out that I am the Primal God!!! HOW EMBARRASSED WOULD THEY BE WHEN I SHOW THEM MY TRUE MIGHT!!!
[Author]: LOL!!!
[BOB.C]: Fuck's so funny...
[Author]: Do you think IDK what you're planning?
[BOB.C]: Wha- What ever could you mean?
[Reader]: Yea, tf you talking about?
[Author]:
: Reply to [Reader]: You see this little cunt thinks he can finesse this whole book.
[Reader]: How tho?
[BOB.C]: Yea, how tho... No on second thought we should leave this topic behind and revel in the newfound friendship we have...
[Author]:
: Reply to [Reader]: you remember that ability Bob had right? That... what was the name...
[Reader]: What ability? You only wrote about how he used his God energy... but never about a defined ability...
[Author]: Fuck, I just searched through the previous chapters and you're right there isn't any mention of his ability... Well, I guess I'll tell you about it now. He has an ability called Truth, where under the guise that a certain amount of God energy is obtained, he can use the ability to declare a certain truth. For example, let's assume the current Bob has enough god energy to power the ability, he can use that to power the ability to,
a) Give himself infinite God essence... God essence, being, a single droplet that contains the required amount of God energy used to power the Truth ability once.
* * *
(So basically,
1 drop of God essence = Required amount of God energy for the activation of the Truth ability once.)
* * *
b) Turn back time to the point where he was still the Primal God.
c) Restart the universe to the point of creation... Etc
: You see the applications of the Truth ability are endless.
*[BOB.C]: FUCK... I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!!! I JUST THOUGHT OF GIVING MYSELF INFINITE GOD ESSENCE LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS... THANKS, YOU IDIOT!!!!*
[Reader]: Oh okay... wait wts the point of the book if he gets his God essence back? Wouldn't it end in like a single chapter or smtn?
[Author]: Yea exactly! He's about to end the book before I even get to make money off of it... but no worries I have contingency plans in place, to stop such blasphemous acts!
[BOB.C]: You think you can stop me?! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! AS FOR I AM THE PRIMAL GOD!!!
[Reader]: . . .
[Author]: . . .
[BOB.C]: ...that was a little too much huh...
[Reader]: Yea.
[Author]: . . . Anyway, I have contingencies in place to stop him and continue the story.
[Reader]: let's hope so, cuz I really enjoy reading this book.
[Author]: Is that so? Then why have you never sent a power stone huh? (~_~)
[Reader]: Yea... about that...

The night passed as the bright rays of light broke through the thin clouds illuminating the lands below. Inside one of the rooms of a three-story inn, Yuno woke up from the best she's had in a while. She looked around to find a scrawny teen on the other bed sleeping not so peacefully as he continued to mumble in his sleep.
"I'm the Primal God... Fuck you God system... Contingencies my ass...", were among the things the teen continued to mumble. Yuno seeing this lightly laughed as she sat in a lotus position to start her morning cultivation. She regulated her breathing in a way that she could draw in celestial energy. With that, she entered a meditative state faster than she ever had before, only taking two minutes. As compared to before when she would take at least an hour to sense the ambient celestial energy in the surroundings, let alone draw it into her body, it was easy to say that her talent had increased a hundredfold.
She continued her cultivation by drawing in the celestial energy and absorbing it into her body, faster and more than she has ever before. A few moments later even more celestial energy entered her body as she glowed with a blue haze. Her muscles tensed as celestial energy was sent into them enhancing her strength, her organs were also doused. Her heart strengthened to pump out more blood through the body. Her lung strengthened to take in and supply more oxygen to the body. Her kidneys strengthened increasing her stamina by a huge margin. As such her other organs also underwent strengthening, providing a superior bodily function than before.
Then when the process was finally over, she opened her eyes to the sight of the teen looking at her with a face contorted in pain. His hands were over his nose as he let out fast but short breaths. Seeing her awaken from her meditative state, the teen quickly said, "Finally you're awake! GO TAKE A SHOWER! You have broken through to the fourth stage of body refinement. Your body has expelled the filth it had accumulated!"
Hearing the teen, Yuno quickly looked at her body to find her skin and clothes covered in filth. The stench assaulted her nose as she too covered her nose, prompting her to quickly rush to the bathroom to take a nice long bath.
A little while later, the red-haired man knocked on the room before opening the door. He looked around the room with eyes full of appreciation. Of course, a high-level cultivator like him had sensed the fluctuations of the celestial energy and the sudden absorption of it inside the room. Connecting the dots, he determined that Yuno must have made a breakthrough in her cultivation. And Yuno running to the bathroom to take a bath solidified his guess into hard facts.
Looking at the scrawny teen in front of him, the red-haired man said, "Since you have unofficially entered the Nine Dragon Sect, here is your official Sect-issued uniform." With that, the red-haired man passed the teen a robe. The robe was white in color, its back was decorated with red dragon scales arranged in a way that seemed to picture a lotus flower. The tips of the eight lotus petals were decorated with embroidering of a serpentine dragon that chased after its tail. At the center of the lotus was also another serpentine dragon that chased after its tail. The rest of the robe was decorated with golden outlines of clouds.
The teen seeing this was left speechless. Although he tried hard to hate it, it was actually a pretty good design as well as the fabric being soft yet strong.
'Not bad, Not bad... seems like the second chapter of my life is about to begin...'
