The Neighborhood was still the same, but as the seven-year-old daughter of a wealthy family she live an average life, Ariella Laila Liu Chen never had to deal with anything difficult in her life, even if the world was still infested with creatures that enter their world ravaging their peaceful way of life, more Ethereal were acknowledge and given a certain amount of privileges and wealth because of their contribution to the worlds safety and economic evolution as more artefacts and material were developed to ensure the world will remain safe and technology and use of magic would not change the fundamental structure of mankind and not relay too much in this new source of power,
as new materials were developed to ensure the safety of homes and many infrastructures, some large cities' inhabitants became well-adapted to the changing times, but nevertheless, problems still arise as not all could afford this the highest Ethereal rank that was documented was still Guan Yu Liu Chen with a power level of 420, but many Ethereal all over the world were also within his rank, so many League leaders change the rank to letters to bridge the gap and not create further issues with having a high power level so base on the League leaders all over the world those level numbers were now being represented by letter rankings that the vast majority of mankind understood because it was taken from a certain famous digital game that came from Japan.
knowing this many Ethereal took pride in this rank and with this certain social norms gradually shifted and turned many of them into major superstars earning vast amounts of wealth and influence with their contribution to the eradication of the Dimensional threat,
But as history proves this time and time again that power corrupts and consumes many decent people and turn them into monster themselves, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao made sure that this newfound power must be contained and controlled as they took it upon themselves to make sure certain individuals remain in the confines of rational thinking and discipline and these Ethereal will follow the strict rules that the UN provided as they used their influence to steer the policies in the old ways,
It was 8:00 am as the school bell rang, and all of the students, including Ariella, stood up to greet their teacher and went on their days studying and socializing with their classmates and a few of her trusted friends, after she would always walk bound toward the city to a well-known convenience store was located, as two armored cars await her, with five elite bodyguards headed by Ya Zuo, Ms Lin Siniang fiancé, would wait for her upon her request to remain average,
keeping a low profile. As Ariella stepped out of the school gates, she couldn't help but feel a sense of security knowing that her trusted companions were by her side. The bustling city streets welcomed her with their vibrant energy, and she navigated through the crowds with ease, blending in effortlessly. The convenience store, nestled amidst towering buildings, was her sanctuary, a place where she could momentarily escape the pressures of her daily life. Inside,
she would indulge in simple pleasures like sipping on a warm cup of tea or browsing through the shelves filled with books and magazines. It was here that Ariella found solace in anonymity, away from the prying eyes that constantly followed her every move.
With Ya Zuo and the elite bodyguards discreetly observing their surroundings, Ariella could relax and be herself without fear of being recognized or approached with unwanted attention. This carefully orchestrated routine allowed her to maintain a semblance of normalcy while embracing the extraordinary circumstances that came with being a rank F Ethereal and a granddaughter of the Liu Chen clan.
She would stay at the convenience store until she finished her Warm tea and would always visit her brother every other day like clockwork and casually interact with him even while he was still asleep. Despite his unconsciousness, she found solace in his presence, believing that he could somehow hear her words and feel her love.
It was during these visits that she would share stories of her adventures as a student and read tales of bravery and heroism to inspire him.
She would describe the breathtaking landscapes she had traversed, the mythical creatures she had encountered, and the powerful magic she had wielded. In her stories, she was unstoppable, a force to be reckoned with. But deep down, she knew that her reality was far more complicated. As an Ethereal, she possessed incredible abilities and knowledge beyond the comprehension of ordinary humans. However,
this power came at a cost: a constant battle against dark forces seeking to exploit her gifts for their gain. The Liu Chen clan had long been guardians of ancient secrets and protectors of the balance between realms, but her mother wanted her daughter to have a normal life and did not want her to engage in any dangerous activities connected with having the ability of level 25 pyrokinesis.
Even if Amelia Liu Chen is a Rank C Ethereal that could cast energy barriers that could stop a rocket-propelled grenade, she hardly uses this ability in public like what her husband would mention to her its not about getting into a dangerous situation, but its about being prepared and have the ability to protect yourself and those around you in times of need, especially in a world where supernatural threats were becoming more prevalent.
Amelia had always been cautious and responsible with her powers, never using them for personal gain or to show off. She understood the importance of keeping her abilities hidden from the public eye, as it could attract unwanted attention and potentially put her loved ones at risk. Instead, she focused on honing her skills in secret, constantly training and improving herself so that she could be ready for any situation that may arise.
Amelia's husband admired her dedication and supported her decision to keep their family safe. Together, they created a plan that involved regular drills and emergency protocols, ensuring that everyone knew what to do in case of an attack or supernatural event. They believed in being proactive rather than reactive, understanding that preparation was key to survival in this unpredictable world. As Amelia continued to live her normal life, she found solace in knowing that she could protect herself and those around her if the need ever arose. She remained vigilant and committed to maintaining a balance between her family and her daily work duties,
she would always accompany her daughter as they pick her up from her office and travelled toward the Fu Xi Shi Medical Hospital, like her daughter Amelia was not fond of flaunting her current status and requested to work in one of his husband's smallest affiliated companies and not broadcast her relationship toward Guan Yu, even their marriage was unannounced in the public and they made sure her identity was gradually forgotten, allowing her to live a relatively normal life. Amelia's decision to work in a smaller company was not only to maintain privacy but also to prove her capabilities independently.
She had always been determined and ambitious, never relying on her husband's influence or wealth. This unspoken agreement between them created a sense of equality and mutual respect in their relationship. She is a product marketing employee at a small factory that manufactures the new Portable Rail Gun ammo in one of Fu Xi Shi's affiliated factories.
she patiently awaited her husband's armed convoy to pick her up at a designated location, as she stood there, her mind wandered to the challenges she faced in her profession. Being a woman in a male-dominated industry, she had to constantly prove herself and break through stereotypes.
But she embraced it as an opportunity to showcase her expertise and contribute to technological advancements. The new Portable Rail Gun ammo was a revolutionary invention, and she took great pride in being part of its development. The factory where she worked was known for its cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and commitment to quality.
She played a crucial role in optimizing the production process, ensuring that each round of ammunition met the highest standards. Her dedication to her work often meant long hours at the factory, but it never deterred her spirit. She found solace in knowing that her efforts were not only shaping the future of warfare but also making a difference in people's lives. The thought of soldiers relying on her ammunition for their safety gave her a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
as she enters the car she always receives a warm hug and a kiss from Ariella as a mother this was the greatest joy she could ask for. as they travel toward to visit her son, many prying eyes still lurk around as many on the other female factory workers sees this and gossips start to spread like wildfire. Despite the judgmental stares, she remains unfazed, knowing that her love for her family and her dedication to providing for him is stronger than any rumor's.
The car ride to Fu Xi Shi Medical Hospital is filled with laughter and chatter, a precious moment of bonding that she cherishes deeply with her sweet Ariella, upon entering the hospital, they are greeted by friendly nurses and doctors who guide them to her son's room. The sight of her son lying in the hospital bed tugs at her heartstrings, but she remains strong for him. She knows that her love and support are crucial for his recovery.
a few minutes Guan Yu came and like Amelia wife and Ariella his daughter he always visits his stepson and made sure their time with him was adequate and appropriate to what Guan Yu promised him when Ramiel was awake and active even for a short time Guan Yu love Ramiel as he was everything he wanted for a successor, Guan Yu and Amelia were in fact hiding aa small secret from their sweet daughter,
As soon as she turned six, she was open and outspoken about her dreams concerning a certain young man who was white-haired and golden and communicating with her. Both parents found it concerning, so they made sure to record all her dream talk while she was asleep, and they were not taking any chances considering the world has opened the door to the realm of the supernatural. They made sure she was provided with the best technological device to assure her safety and not end up like her older brother.
After a year, all the gathered information was found to be non-threatening. This individual with whom she was communicating was considered by many experts to be just a psychological manifestation of her longing to interact with her older brother.
However, as time went on, the messages became increasingly detailed and specific, containing information that only her brother would know. This raised concerns among the experts and sparked a renewed interest in the possibility of supernatural communication. Amelia didn't want her daughter to become a human guinea pig and just wanted to have a certain amount of information. She saw no visible psychological, physical, or behavioural change in her, She was even more high-minded and had virtues and upheld a good sense of moral judgment in any situation.,
But the recent information she mentioned earlier to Grandpa Tang was shattering and made a drastic shift in the grand master's thought. Guan Yu gave Amelia a kiss as he sat down right next to her inside the hospital VIP room receiving room they watched and monitor Ramiels condition on the other side of a 3-inch reinforced glass wall divider,
while Ariella continued to talk to her sleeping brother like he could hear and talk back to her, expressing her love and concern for him. She reminisced about their childhood adventures and shared her hopes for his speedy recovery, believing that her words would somehow reach his subconscious mind and bring him back to consciousness. As his brain function reacted toward her sister's cheerful laughter as she speaks to him, even the doctors find this amazing and truly groundbreaking in the field of psychoanalysis,
but for a seven-year-old child, this was just her coping mechanism to deal with the issue in front of her. She had read about the power of positive thinking and believed that her love and encouragement could make a difference in her brother's recovery. Despite her young age, she was determined to do whatever it took to help him get better, even if it meant holding onto hope against all odds.
Guan Yu asked Amelia if they were hungry, she just lean him and wrap her arms around his arm and snuggled comfortably and just told him she was fine, but calmly ask the matter about the name that their daughter mentioned that spooked grandpa tang,
Guan Yu always gave her wife sufficient answers and made sure she was aware of everything that was happening, as he explained that the name that their daughter spoke of was actually their clan's main benefactor, this same being gave them all the necessary power and knowledge to become who they are now,
he even mentions that Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao were really not their biological relatives but in fact, their original ancestors as the two were very very old and were worshipped as gods when China was still young and socially primitive, the two establish the city of Xi'an 202 Before Common Era and was the force behind certain individuals that made China what it is today,
as time went by their real names that were Shangdi and Wangmu were changed based on their own personal whims and reasons, Shangdi rename himself Chāo Tang and Wangmu took the name of Mao qiáng and travel the young earth until a certain change in the earth's history made them adopt and gain a family name that they never agreed upon,
Guan Yu further add that his father was just one of the countless orphans that they took in and adopted and given the privilege to carry their family name, which came from the two people they raised and followed their teachings were Liu Yuan, warlord at the end of the Western Jin dynasty, founder of Cheng Han of the Sixteen Kingdoms 304-347,
thus the surname of Liu Chen was created, and Astrath Siurin Ber'gith is Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao's master, they never gave any information about how and why they came to be, but rest assured those two are extremely powerful, if they want to they can turn an entire country into dust, leaving no trace behind. Their immense power and mysterious origins have intrigued many, but their true intentions remain unknown. It is said that even the mightiest rulers dare not cross paths with Liu Chen for the consequences would be catastrophic.
Amelia look at his husband and admitted she was already having thoughts about their background, but seeing the world was now open to the reality of magic and wonder, hearing this was no longer a big deal to her, she still see Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao as her guardian angels and truly love them as if they are her real grandparent, even though she knows they are not biologically related. Their love and support throughout her life have made them an integral part of her family, and she cherishes the bond they share.
suddenly Guan Yu's phone rang as he answered it was Mr Suryadi Hartono and gave a report that Grandpa Tang is now boarding his private jet bound for Indonesia and assured him the Chuàngshǐ rén Liu Chen patriarch is safe in their care and hangs up,
meanwhile while in the private jet, many new upstart members of the Ular Kemba League don't the slightest idea who they are protecting as they are now even allowed access to the inner workings of the main family that they are supposed to be following,
Grandpa Tang over the years has seen and encountered so many things in the world, and this somewhat change his perspective in viewing life, like having too much authority and power can take out the simple joys in life, patience was always questioned and greed and suffering can be nothing more than just a simple thought of desire that ruin many lives,
so after a thousand years of roaming the world, he finds it interesting that doing the right things was harder than just feeding your desires, the will and patience not to destroy and kill all of the vile people in the world was really hard to do, but he knew what is right from wrong, so he just lives his life with a sense of joy and recalls those moments when he was with Ramiel and with Ariella
Despite the challenges of resisting destructive impulses and choosing to do what is right, he remained steadfast in his commitment. He found solace in cherishing the memories of his time spent with Ramiel and Ariella, as they brought him immense happiness and reminded him of the importance of love and compassion in his journey.
fifty of the Ular Kemba League were watching the old man inside the private jet, some were nice but others are just arrogant just because they deemed that they were too important to waste their time just babysitting an old man, little did they know that the old man held power beyond anything they could comprehend that could greatly benefit them. Despite their initial judgment, they would soon realize the value of his presence and regret their dismissive attitudes.
