Chapter 4 - Earth and History of Tower

Crystal opens her eyes while lying on the bed and tries to think about what happened to her.

"You woke up..." Vivian calmly replies to Crystal while sitting beside her reading a book.

Crystal remembers that she lost her match against Art.

"I lost again! Ha...! Mother-in-law, Did you think I stood a chance this time around? " Crystal asks Vivian while covering her face with a pillow.

"Don't be discouraged. You need to be more confident in your strength! " Vivian replies encouragingly.

"Mother-in-law, I have decided to not go to Earth with Art!" Crystal says seriously.

Looking at her clear eyes, Vivian lets out a sigh and smiles.

"We are going to the Novice branch of Ice University on floor 3. This time, I hope you will get serious about your training and stop thinking about Art for four years at least! " Vivian informs her while leaving the room.

"So, I have only one year this time to be with Art. Hah! Stop thinking negatively and think positively. It is all for the future to stand with Art!" Crystal shakes her head while thinking to herself.

Art leaves the Dragon mansion and goes with his mother to floor 3, where the Novice branch of Ice University is present.

Anne stays at the Dragon Mansion with Athena and Althea.

"Anne, Are you sure? You don't want to go with Art? " Athena asks Anne.

"Please call me Emma, Grandma. If I went with him this time, I would be a burden to him. I need to get stronger so that I can be beside him! " Anne replies solemnly.

Athena smiles after hearing the answer and looks at the ship which was leaving Floor 127.

"Can I stand and walk like a normal person?" Anne asks Athena.

"Emma, don't worry. You have a unique body constitution that is known as the Divine body. You can command, heal, and support. I don't know how high your potential is, but those with a unique constitution are born with superior talents. They are classified into grades depending upon the stage. Yours is in the normal state, which is the first level. If you could control more power, that would help you unlock your future potential. The energy in your body is disorganised, which is the reason why you cannot walk for a long time like normal people! " Athena answers her.

"Divine body... Do Crystal and Art also have it?" Anne asks Athena.

"Only Crystal has it!"

After hearing the answer, Anne was confused.

"Art is different. Although he doesn't have any divine body, he does have a superior will, which is extremely rare. He had developed to a high stage at a very early age. He is also very talented in different fields and quickly grasps it. " Athena tells her

"Don't sweat the small stuff. You need to work hard to achieve your dreams. It is not like the divine body is omnipotent. You need to develop your realm energy, which keeps both origin and spirit energy. If you cultivate all the power in your body and mind during the early stages, it will help you in the later stages, so never rush for more power before you are ready! " Althea tells her

Anne leaves for the practice ground with Althea. Athena starts staring at the sky.

"Is it fate or coincidence? I hope at least you will choose a different path from Elric and Agnar and live a peaceful life! " Athena thinks to herself with a worried face.

-Floor 3-

Art arrives at the Ice university. He sees many students were applying for an advanced course in water and ice mage class. Many students are already in Violet and Indigo level. They all have good backgrounds and talents in their world.

Ice university was very much similar to Dragon mansion, but the area was small compared to it. It has a good environment, and it is around 500 sq.Km. It had high facilities and a good number of training grounds. The infrastructure of the classes was top-notch. The number of resources was astronomical and can be ranked one of the best universities in the tower.

The power level was classified into different stages: many eastern people from earth use Novice, Apprentice, Soldier, Warrior, Commander, Master, Grandmaster, and Noble that are in increasing order of power. Each stage is divided into four levels which are low, mid, high and super.

It was reformed to a new power system that is currently in use: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet and Purple. These levels are the same as the previous one and are both in use in the universe.

After reaching Purple level, the next level was only a pipe dream for many people as getting to a super purple level means top-level existence in the outside world. Due to the new rules, the White level which is also referred to as Saint or Immortal level in some worlds, they have to leave their world and come to the tower to clear it or be in seclusion in the outside world not to interfere in the world politics and family issue.

While most of them leave their world and enter the tower for upper levels. Each planet has its jurisdiction to govern the world. Most of the human planets were using system type with balance in power where no one is a King. The human planets are divided into four parts are known as the North, East, West, and South region where each has Eleven representatives and One leader.

Some planets have powerful families, and some have stronger organisations or sects to watch over these representative seats. These seats are equally given to everyone who has power. If more and more powerful people emerge then they are allowed to apply for a higher authority in the Galaxy. Planet organisations are considered Seventh to the Ninth level depending upon their power. Each Galaxy has its leaders who watch over these planets. The Milky way is in Melany Family Rule.

After the arrival of the tower, many things were changed during the past 3,000 years which lead to significant changes in the world as the concentration of realm energy in the world drastically increased and the seal was released from the world.

Many places were destroyed during the early period and many were created. Everyone is curious just to know what is the tower which appeared out of the blue and connected to different planets. Many were given opportunities for new development and were amazed at different Ideals which were present in their universe.

The tower connected everyone in this universe.

Art was surprised after knowing everything. He had no knowledge of the outside world. He had some knowledge of Earth which was where his Great-grandfather came from to the tower.

He was curious about how stars were present in the tower. As it is practically impossible as the tower was divided into floors.

Art continues his training with Crystal for a year at Novice Ice University.

- One Year Later-

"Art... remember there is always someone stronger! You need to be careful. Your combat ability is very low as you have only fought against Crystal during this time"

"You have to use all your abilities when you are in a life and death situation. Keep this communication crystal, it will help you to contact the Melany Family if you are in danger. Keep your identity a secret and never reveal it. First, go to the Murong house in the eastern region of the Earth where you will meet your fiance. Dress neatly and meet with her. Contact Amelia after leaving the tower."

Vivian instructs Art in a serious voice and hugs him.

"You grew tall!" Vivian comments on Art. Art simply nods at her.

"Ok! Bye mom. I will miss you. Where is Crystal?"

"She is practising her skill. She is more powerful than you most likely!"

"Obviously, but I still have more than a 30% chance to beat her. She had awakened her Divine body to a new level. I need to catch up to her." Art replies optimistically.

"You are already at mid-Blue level. You need to keep most of the elements a secret and use this bracelet to conceal your power. You have very rare talent which will shock everyone so only reveal four elements which you are most proficient with!"

"Ok! Now, keep in mind to always keep yourself safe"

"Yes mom, Bye. I love you!"

"Bye, I love you too!"

After replying, tears come from Vivian's eyes. Art smiles at her and says, "Don't worry!".

Art leaves the tower using the space crystal.

"Miss, are you okay?" a lady with a blue military uniform asks Vivian.

"I am fine. Raise the security level of Earth to level 3. Inform Melany Family about the arrival of Young master to Earth." Vivian wipes her tears with her hands and leaves.

-Earth-

Art arrives at the outside of the tower.

Art sees there are 10 people with him in the middle of the teleportation circle. He comes out of the circle and sees the Earth city for the first time.

He felt energy concentration was decent, not as high as in Ice University. It was similar to the tower but the realm energy in him was enhancing at a rapid pace.

Art sees a girl who is about the same age as him on the opposite side.

She had snow-white skin and an innocent look. She was standing on the opposite side and waiting for someone. Art goes towards her.

"Excuse me, Can I know which way is to Shanghai city?" Art asks the girl.

The girl turns around to reply to Art.

'Wow..... he is a bit too handsome. I don't know which family he is from?! he gives me a noble feeling. Well,.... no wait, is his brain dead or what? We are obviously in Shanghai city. Is he trying to hit on me?...'

The girl blushes and looks away to the side to avoid eye contact with Art.

"This... is Shanghai city!" the girl replies to Art.

"Oh! Thanks, My name is Art. Can you tell which way is Murong house?"

After hearing Art, the girl looks at him intensively.

"I obviously never seen him at Murong house party. Is he trying to hit on Sis Qiuyue? Well... he is handsome and might have a chance with her, but her background is not simple. Let's not jump to a conclusion. First, confirm why he needs to go to Murong house?!" the girl thinks in herself.

"Well... Why do you need to go to the Murong house? They live in the Bund area where high authority people live. It would be hard for you to enter if you did not have a pass or VIP card. Even if you enter the area, it would still be too difficult to go to the Murong House!" the girl says to Art.

"Ah... we need a card to enter the area. My mom did not tell me about it!" Art replies in an ambivalent manner.

"He does not look like he is that type of guy! let's help him to go to the Murong house. Maybe he is in an urgency..." the girl thinks about it in herself.

"My name is Su He. I have a friend in the Murong family. I can help you if you are in an urgency..." Su He replies in a polite voice.

"Oh! Thank you very much. I need to meet the current Murong family head on behalf of my mom to discuss something. You need to help me reach there so that I can inform them about my arrival!" Art replies in an earnest way.

"Looks like his background is not simple. He can meet the Murong family head. It is by no means an ordinary person!" Su He thought to herself.

"Well, I am going to the Murong house now for a party tonight. Now the time is four o'clock. The party will start in two hours. If you can accompany me in my shopping for a gift with my friend, we can go together to the Murong family. Just wait for five minutes, and my friend will arrive in five minutes!" Su He replies formally.

"Thank you! Su He. It will be my pleasure to accompany a beautiful lady to the shopping!" Art replies in a gentlemen tone.

Su He immediately blushes. Her face was beet red at the moment.

"Ah...He called me beautiful with such a cute face. What happened to you, Su He. How can you be so easy to fall for him after knowing him for a few minutes! Get a grip on yourself, you already have a good fiance. All is well... Don't lose composer in front of him" Su He thinks in herself.

"Hey, Who is that guy with my Su He?! I have never seen her make that kind of face in front of me!" a young boy with a fair complexion asks another young boy of about the same age.

"Boss Lu, I don't know! I have never seen him in Shanghai..." the young boy standing behind him replies to him.

"I guess he does not know how high is sky trying to hit on Su He. One of the top ten beauties in the whole eastern region of our generation!" Mr Lu replies to the young boy in an arrogant voice.

He moves towards Art and Su He.

"My name is Art Vivian. I came from a very faraway place, so I don't know much about this place...." Art asked Su He for information about the city.

"Hey! A toad wants to eat meat swan! Did you ask my permission to talk to He'er?" Mr Lu says arrogantly and stands in front of Art.

"Hi, Sis!" A beautiful girl who has snow-white skin with black hair says in a loud voice. She had a seductive body which is attractive to the opposite gender. She approaches them.
