Orion had just revealed to Lily the true nature of Stella's identity as his past life contracted beast. Lily had been surprised to learn this, but she quickly regained her composure and waited to hear what Orion would say next.
Orion took a deep breath before continuing. "Now that you know the truth about Stella, it's time for us to take the next step," he said, his tone serious.
Lily's heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that whatever Orion had in mind was going to be significant. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Orion looked at Stella, who nodded in agreement. "We have been preparing you for this moment for the past three years," he said. "It's time for you to undergo the same transformation that I did when I first contracted with Stella."
Lily's eyes widened in surprise. "Transformation? What kind of transformation?" she asked, her mind racing with possibilities.
Orion took a moment to collect his thoughts before answering. "It's kind of like body tempering," he said, "but on a much greater scale. The process will elevate your cultivation level to that of a King Realm Cultivator."
Lily's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the King Realm. She knew that it was the highest level of cultivation that one could reach, and only a select few were able to achieve it. "But what about the pain?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly.
She had heard stories about the excruciating pain that came with body tempering and was hesitant to undergo it herself.
Orion's expression softened. "I won't lie to you, Lily. The pain will be intense, but the rewards will be worth it," he said. "And we will be there with you every step of the way."
Stella then spoke up, her voice gentle but firm. "That is why we have been training you for three years for this moment, Lily," she said. "We wanted to make sure you were ready and strong enough to endure the transformation."
Lily looked at Stella, grateful for the reassurance. She knew that Stella and Orion had always had her best interests at heart, but the thought of undergoing such a transformation was still daunting.
Orion nodded in agreement with Stella's words. "We have seen your progress over the past three years, and we know that you are capable of undergoing the transformation," he said. "But ultimately, the decision is yours."
Lily took a deep breath, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions. She knew that becoming a King Realm Cultivator was a rare and powerful opportunity, but the thought of enduring intense pain was still scary.
Orion could sense her hesitation and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Take some time to think it over, Lily. We understand that this is a big decision," he said. "We will be here for you no matter what you decide."
With those words, Orion and Stella left the room, leaving Lily to contemplate her options. She knew that this decision would affect the rest of her life and that there was no going back once she made up her mind.
As she sat there in silence, memories of her journey with Orion and Stella flashed through her mind. She remembered the countless hours of training, the obstacles they had overcome together, and the bond they had formed as a team.
Lily realized that she trusted Orion and Stella more than anyone else in the world. They had always been there for her, and she knew that they would never lead her astray.
After much contemplation, Lily made up her mind. She would undergo the transformation and become a King Realm Cultivator, no matter the pain or hardship she would have to endure.
With her decision made, Lily stood up with a newfound sense of purpose. She knew that this would be a difficult journey, but she was ready to face it head-on.
Orion and Stella then looked toward her, sensing a change in Lily's demeanor. "Have you made a decision?" Orion asked, his tone gentle.
Lily turned toward him and Stella, a determined look on her face. "I will undergo it. I will become stronger," she said, her voice steady and resolute. Orion and Stella looked at each other with pride and admiration for Lily.
Orion placed a hand on Lily's shoulder and smiled. "We always knew you had it in you, Lily. You've come so far in your journey, and we're so proud of you," he said, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity.
Stella nodded in agreement. "You've shown great determination and resilience throughout your training, Lily. We have no doubt that you will succeed in becoming a King Realm Cultivator," she said, her eyes shining with pride.
Lily felt a sense of gratitude wash over her. She had always looked up to his brother, Orion, and Stella, as mentors. Their unwavering support gave her the strength to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Orion then stood up and walked over to Lily, wrapping her in a warm embrace. "We're here for you every step of the way, Lily. You're not alone in this," he whispered.
Stella joined in the embrace, and the three of them stood there, united in their shared goal. They were a team, a family, and nothing could stand in their way.
As they broke the embrace, Stella placed a hand on Lily's cheek. "You're going to do great things, Lily. We believe in you," she said, her voice filled with love and admiration.
Lily couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and determination at the words of her family. She knew that their support would be invaluable on her journey toward becoming a King Realm Cultivator.
"Thank you both so much. I couldn't do this without you," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.
Lily felt her heart swell with pride and determination. She was ready for whatever lay ahead, knowing that she had the support of her family and friends by her side. She took a deep breath and smiled, feeling a renewed sense of purpose and strength.
