The process was ridiculously fast, considering all the knowledge and talent he had developed. In just a few days, he had formed a black crown in his brain, and his soul was now fixed exclusively on that crown. This caused his body to collapse; most of its natural functions ceased to operate, and Kayden’s organs began to fail rapidly. The boy realized this, but…
He didn’t care. He just needed to keep his soul in his head. The rest of his body was frozen with a few mental commands from him. Over time, he would directly develop it so as not to cause a fuss, but for now, he didn’t have that need. The crown was now his physical form, representing his soul and his entire existence at this moment. This also meant that he was practically immortal. His life force wouldn’t diminish, as it practically depended solely on his crown.

The soul no longer had any use in governing its body; its only function was to sustain its existence. This was the trick that all immortals used. In truth, it did not confer true immortality, but merely a ridiculously long lifespan.
As soon as Kayden finished the crown, the heavens closed, and he knew he was going through the ascension process. The first five rays fell without him even blinking; they came together because of Kayden’s request. He knew the limits of his strength. He reached the eighth ray in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that the kidnappers couldn’t even react or understand what was happening.
They knew what an ascension process meant, and they also knew what eight rays meant. At that moment, they made the best decision of their lives: each of them started running for their lives. A wizard who faced as many rays as that baby would cause an unprecedented monumental attraction on that planet. At least, they tried to run. Kayden threw a ray at each of them, killing them in seconds.
At this moment, he had used his true strength for a brief period, but his head felt ridiculously heavy, and he felt his mind starting to explode. However, it was nothing serious, as any damage would be repaired during the ascension process.
Kayden began to convert everything around him into mana and divine mana. His talent was so great at that moment that his conversion rate was perfect. He looked up at the heavens defiantly. The eighth thunderbolt had the same dramatic display as the last time he faced it, but this time, he didn’t even pay attention. Its strength was far superior to the eight thunderbolts of the first realm.
Kayden saw the nine chairs appear in the sky with monstrous magnificence. Each of them emanated an absurdly strong and dignified aura, second only to the two eyes he had faced to become a monarch. A sphere appeared in the middle of the nine chairs, made of pure and absolute laws, a ridiculous force that no mage from the first realm should be able to easily face. But Kayden was not someone simple. He was unique. He consecrated himself as unique.
The sphere began to descend, and every living thing in the vicinity had to kneel before the pressure. It was far stronger than anything the planet had ever seen. The clouds spread across every inch of this immense planet. At that moment, everyone knew something was happening, but that was all. The sphere descended and faced an attack from Kayden with all his might. His brain collapsed and exploded in his head.
Fortunately, what kept him alive was his soul, and as soon as he defeated the sphere with frightening ease, the regeneration rays began to fall upon him. Kayden ascended to the first realm easily, without any difficulty. This was one of the cleanest ascension processes that this universe had ever seen. Kayden’s body didn’t exactly have a lot of things to cleanse, which made the regeneration ridiculously fast.
In just a few seconds, Kayden found himself alone in the middle of an abandoned building in a random cave. He destroyed the bodies of the thieves in a few seconds and then began to fly away from that place. Because of the size of his ascension clouds, it would take a while to find him, especially considering that everything was done in just a few seconds. Kayden faced nine lightning bolts in less than a minute. His strength was at a completely insane and meaningless level for his kingdom. His only impediment was his brain, something he would have to overcome in the coming years.
It didn’t take long for him to find the capital he was born in again. He had an almost photographic memory, and coupled with his abnormally great spiritual sense, even before advancing to the first realm, he only needed to find the mansion in the noble area. Not even one of the mages there was able to sense him moving at high speed. It was funny how his strength didn’t match his age at that moment.
He only needed to control the mana that came out of his body and place a small layer of divine mana around him to deceive any spiritual sense existing in that region.
"HEY! Call the patriarch!" Kayden laid his baby’s body in front of the house and just had to wait to be found. He would probably be taken from that place by some god. At least, that’s what he imagined, but it didn’t happen at all. For some reason, his ascension process was hidden and didn’t send the signal of his existence to other gods. This was something Kayden didn’t know and he couldn’t understand why he wasn’t searched for in the following days.
"The greatest genius of our family was born." The patriarch who was also Kayden’s father said these words when he felt his son return home and be in the first kingdom with less than 3 months of life.
