Two months later, all girls finished their paths of stars. Isabella also reached the peak but had yet to complete her path of star.
As such, the girls spent several days more to help Isabella complete her path of a star, and finally, they decided to break through.
Through this journey of their path of stars, they all managed to comprehend the mysterious powers of their Endowment Stars and powered up their Endowment Star's abilities.
..
"Let's do this," Sierra said as she nodded at others.
Everyone stood in a circular formation, ready to break through.
According to Velshi, they had reached the peak of 1st realm and could trigger the breakthrough anytime with their will. Once they do that, they would be teleported to Firmament of Stars in the 1st realm.
They triggered their breakthrough at the same time as a mysterious space rippled each of them before they disappeared in a flash.
…
They appeared far higher in the sky of the 1st realm. Their respective Stars of Endowment were calling out of them!
[Now, all you need to do is to continue flying higher and reach the ceiling of this 1st realm. When you reach there, you will have to focus and resonate with your Endowment Stars in the vast Firmament Stars. Once you successfully resonate with them, the door to the 2nd realm will open]
"Yes, let's go! We are one step closer to saving Arkhen," Luna said after clenching her fist.
Everyone nodded as they started flying up.
After several hours, they could indeed see those countless stars clearer and bigger!
After flying for one full day, they finally arrived at the very top and were amazed!
All those endowment stars around them were not round stars but with various shapes and exuding mysterious powers.
Some were mystical, dreamy creatures with colorful powers.
Some had snow falling with sparks. Some had a lion roaring on a burning mountain.
"Wait, could that be Arkhen's Endowment Star?" Meya suddenly said as she pointed at a black wolf with a majestic dark gold crown. "This wolf matches the name and the affinities of Arkhen."
The wolf's one eye was dark green, and the other was dark orange while it sat on a black-grass patch like a king. There were also dark green and dark orange wisps floating around it.
[Ravenous Sirius Empyrean. That is indeed Arkhen's Endowment Star.]
Velshi's voice rage in their ears as she appeared beside them.
Arkhen was watching his Endowment Star through Velshi, opening the cloudy screen in his mind, and was surprised. 'That does look cool.'
[My lord. Shouldn't I tell them about our attempt to escape?]
'Nah. No need to tell them since we are not 100% sure of the success of our plan. If I managed to escape, then I will tell them.'
[Alright.]
On the other hand, Sierra, Meya, Isabella, Luna, Sasha, Evelyn, and Zoe started focusing on resonating with their Endowment stars.
After an hour of focus and resonance, the mysterious doors with different patterns and designs started appearing in front of everyone.
"So, these are the entrances to the 2nd realm? Interesting," Zoe said with amazement. Those normal-sized doors indeed look cool and mysterious, with each having a theme matching their Endowment Stars.
"Wait, if we go in our respective doors, won't we get separated in the 2nd realm?" Zoe asked while furrowing her brows.
[Worry not. There's only one big ascension spot in the 2nd realm. Moreover, you will directly enter the specialty zone of the 2nd realm after going through these doors.]
"Yep," Sasha nodded with a smile as she knew about it. "Just like how this Firmament of Stars is 1st realm's specialty, the 2nd realm's specialty is Myriad Manifestation Pools."
"Myriad Manifestation Pools can grant innate physiques to people. So, the first thing everyone gets after ascending to the 2nd realm is an innate physique."
Meya said before she wryly smiled and continued, "But except for Sasha and I, you all already have an innate physique."
"Yep. Since you all already have an innate physique, you can refine your physique even more and make it powerful, possibly upgrading it to the next grade," Sasha said.
[Don't worry, Sasha and Meya. Even if you get an innate physique from Myriad Manifestation Pool, it's fine. Once you also go through your Nirvana Awakening, your physiques will be upgraded].
"Haha, that's good," Zoe said with a chuckle. "Now let's go. I can't wait anymore."
The girls entered their respective doors and finally entered the 2nd realm.
…
Meanwhile, Arkhen had been in another round of torture since those five people came back a month ago.
No doubt, the current torture he was suffering caused him to scream for days, and he also lost consciousness from time to time. It took him fifteen days to adapt and not get insane, as he tried his best.
Naturally, the hatred inside him was growing because of what he was going through.
The current torture was more painful than anything else because, along with with his, his soul was also suffering it.
It was like needles piercing his soul, and this pain wouldn't go away even if Velshi turned off his brain's pain receptors.
It was an entirely new realm of torture!
Those five were confident that when they returned after a month, they would see Arkhen broken down and ready to give up as he handed over the Reality Token.
Alas…
When those five appeared again, what they saw was a calm Arkhen with no expression on his face.
His face was utterly devoid of any emotions on the surface. However, he wanted nothing more than to torture those five and killed them in the worst way possible!
'Velshi… pick the target.' Arkhen said as he saw those five people entering the hall and walking towards him.
It's been two months since he was saving Reality Essence.
The girls daily purified Dream Fragments, which gave him 1k-5k Reality Essence every day.
As such, Arkhen had 984,470 reality motes and 124,940 reality essence.
He had already spent 100,000 reality essence on upgrading the system to level 3, so he was left with 24,940 reality essence.
