The very night the star appeared celebrations were held across countless worlds, same for the Kingston family which for them was a night of dual celebration as they welcomed a new member to their glorious lineage.
Apollo and Erika Kingston celebrated the birth of their baby boy whom they named Adam Kingston. A child born on the same day as the start of a prosperous era, he who was born under the first rays of the Celestial Star.
When their family members heard the news of his birth countless cheers rang across the majestic residence. With him being born on such a glorious day it couldn't help but stir their gossipy side.
Rampant discussions could be heard echoing throughout the entire Kingston residency with every one of them making guesses about how talented he would be. But, who could blame them. Adam was a child born to a dragon of a father and a phoenix of a mother.
How could a dragon beget a dog of a son? It could have been arguable if his mother was normal but no! She was a woman so powerful that not even her husband nor the family head knew how truly powerful she was.
Coupled with him being born on such an auspicious day they couldn't help but wonder just what kind of monster would he be!
Every child at the age of seven years would undergo the awakening ceremony to check if they had the talent for cultivation or not. If a child had the talent for cultivation they could begin to harness mana thus entering the Mortal Stages of Cultivation.
Cultivation was of supreme importance in this world where the strong reign supreme. A world where the strong are righteous and the weak evil, a true dog eats dog world. Cultivators absorb mana in the air into their bodies harnessing it for their own use.
Mana cultivation is a system that has been developed after countless struggles and sacrifices of past predecessor's eons ago improving it from the time of Magic were for one to use mana they had to memorize spells and conjure spell formations which only a select few could achieve.
Back then all those who could do all that were called Magicians whom were extremely low in numbers. An achievement that till this day future generations continue to be thankful for.
Cultivation was then divided into three stages being Mortal, Immortal and Divine stages. The Mortal Stage of cultivation being divided into nine realms and was a path newly awakened had to tread to shed their mortality.
The Kingston's are a mana cultivation family that lords over a ninth of the Solar System with them residing in the Heaven Origin world. Their sovereignty over the Heaven Origin world granted them the control over the lower ranked Heaven and Mortal worlds.
A Solar System is made up of a collection of 9 Origin worlds, 99 Heaven worlds and lastly 999 Mortal worlds. Now you can imagine the depth and power that they possess.
Different worlds have different rankings from top to bottom being Origin, Heaven and Mortal worlds. The Heaven and Mortal worlds being further differentiated into sub ranks of 1 to 3 stars. Rankings are dependent on the quality and potency of mana in that world for example.
Origin worlds could accommodate all stages of cultivation, Heaven worlds accommodating the first two whilst the Mortal worlds could handle only cultivators of the first stage. With all these on the table it becomes quite evident that the Kingston's were a force to be reckoned with.
Legend has it that Origin ranked worlds that form a singular Solar System, each bear gateways acting as coordinates which when connected open up a portal to a grander Supreme world. Apparently all the nine Origin world rulers come from there though they never clarified whether it was indeed true or false
It is said that for the portal to open up, a single person has to subdue and rule over that Solar System proclaiming themselves Sovereign.
No one has been able to do this for the past hundred thousand years and it seemed impossible for the coming years but the Celestial Star's birth may bring forth a different future than expected.
A month quickly passed by since the appearance of the Celestial Star with Adam celebrating his month year old birthday.
A one armed old man with white hair stood silently on a golden throne watching silently as a group of people made way rushing inside the Meeting Hall. When they entered the hall they split into two groups each going to either the left or right side of the room.
Upon reaching their seats they bowed to the old man before seating down, the one armed old man was the current patriarch Eric Kingston. The people seated on his right side had the position of Grand Elders whilst those on the left were Elders of the Kingston family.
One thing they had in common was the puzzled looks they had on their faces because it was not time to convene the family meeting nor were there any emergencies. Therefore, the moment they reached their seats they turned to their neighbor's asking whether knew what the immediate meeting was for.
The low sounds of chatter echoed throughout the room only to stop when they saw the old man raise his single right hand. "Quite down now, is there a need to cause such a commotion? Since I am the one who called for you obviously I will be the one to tell you what for" spoke the Patriarch as his deep voice resounded in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Last night I was summoned by the Old Ancestors whereupon I was tasked with a mission" then he paused so that what he said could sink in because the news of the Old Ancestors being awake was shocking since they had been last awake a hundred years ago.
Loud voices rang inside the room as they gradually ceased.
He then continued "They told me that we must prepare adequately for this golden age and nurture the geniuses of our family very well. Lastly they said that the Celestial Star will reach its peak in at most 25 years.
At its peak that is when the glorious age could have truly begun. My mission is that twelve years from now all the children who will be at or under 16 years with their cultivation between the Core Formation and Soul Transformation will be chosen to …."
Additionally, he stated "Now go back and prepare your genius nieces and grandsons this is a grand opportunity for them if they succeed, Dismissed!"
