Chapter 1749 Another House God and the Rite of Soul Traversal
"Great Warrior! I wish to be of service to your family. I wish to be your House God." The Ruby Eye Blue Serpent stated with conviction and without any ulterior motives.
Out of the ten monsters that came, the Ruby Eye Blue Serpent was the weakest, but he was the most perceptive. It is not that he would be killed if he were to fight against the other nine, but he would lose even on a one on one. He has always pondered on how he would ascend to become a divine beast.
"I can see that you are not like some of the powerful beasts that I sensed. You have not devoured humans or harmed humans just because of enjoyment which means that your soul is clean. You can become a house god of my family which will also give you the benefit of becoming a divine beast.
Should you fulfill your contract then you would be the eight divine beast that my family would create. Do you wish to do the House God contract?" Princess Yasha asked the Ruby Eye Blue Serpent.
"It shall be my pleasure to serve your house until my own ascension." The Ruby Eye Blue Serpent stated as it bowed its head.
"Good! I shall give you the name of Aoruhe. Serve my family well and you might have a chance to become a divine dragon instead of just a divine serpent!" Princess Yasha stated as she bound the soul of Aoruhe to the Land of Yamato.
Just like that, the House of Yamato suddenly gained another House God that is powerful. The other nine monsters thought of doing the same, but they were beings that loved slaughter or do not want to be bound to the land. They even thought that the Ruby Eye Blue Serpent made the wrong choice, but they were the ones that were really wrong in the end.

A few minutes earlier…
Adrian performed the Rite of Soul Traversal which is none other than using good karma in order to materialize the ancestral spirits that gave him that energy. Due to this, he was able to perform a feat that would be impossible just on his own. Adrian summoned both the Nether Domain and the Aether Domain in order to materialize every ancestral spirit that gave him good karma.
The nether mist created by the Nether Domain stabilized the connection of the ancestral spirits to the mortal realm. With this, they would not have any difficulty in maintaining their current form and energy. The aether dust created by the Aether Domain is what physically materialized all the ancestral spirits which made them able to fight with the beast tide.
If one looked closely at the ancestral spirits, their body is actually still hollow as it is composed of nether mist while they have an outer shell made of aether dust. The glowed in the jade, gold, and blue while they released nether mist from their feet as they are still spirits. They were in a state where they are dead, but they are not undead.
To make this possible, Adrian had to actually split himself into two beings. The two beings were none other than his Netheros and Aetheros forms. Two Adrians of different physical feature could be seen holding a large orb which is the Soul Traversal Orb which makes the ancestral spirits physically present in the mortal realm.
"There are suddenly two Nethers, but one does not look like Nether." Yumeko stated as she could see the same face on the two beings.
"We are the same being just split into two." Netheros Adrian and Aetheros Adrian simultaneously stated as they share the same brain after all.
"Trippy." Levin Cloud stated as he does not have the same abilities as Adrian since he has already a combination of life and death energies in his body.
"Which one is Nether?" Yumeko asked as she was confused.
"We are both Nether." Netheros Adrian and Aetheros Adrian stated but they suddenly looked at each other.
"Actually, since I represent death. You can call be Nether." Netheros Adrian stated.
"Then if that is the case then you can call me Aether since I represent life." Aetheros Adrian stated.
One looked like a demon god from the abyss while the other looked like a heavenly demon from the heavens. The two of them were making sure that the Rite of Soul Traversal would be maintained for twenty minutes. Twenty minutes was the maximum time that the ancestral spirits of Yamato could afford despite using all of their good karma.
The fact that they were able to have twenty minutes was amazing as even the power of Providence would not be able to do anything to them within that timeframe. The ancestral spirits could change the very landscape itself, but they would not get punished. That would be the same for Adrian as well that was using the divine tier spell of life and death.
[You have aided Princess Yasha in subduing the Ruby Eye Blue Serpent into becoming a House God for the Land of Yamato.]
[Divinity has been increased by 1.]
"I did not expect that." Nether and Aether stated simultaneously as they looked at each other.
The sound of the roars from numerous beasts started to die down as the monsters have started to dwindle. When the other monsters saw that they were getting killed and their numbers were down, some intelligence has finally returned to them. The monsters started fleeing back to the deep mountains and forests that they came from.
The ancestral spirits did not chase after the monsters as their area of movement is severely limited to the Land of Yamato. If they were to venture further, then they would have difficulty in maintaining their corporeal forms. A beast tide of five million was subdued in under fifteen minutes to spare which means that there was still excess good karma that was needed to be used.
"You are up." Adrian stated as he looked at Levin Cloud.
