Hardwork pays off
looking at my current situation one might wonder,
How did you get so severely burned?
For that question my friend, I have the perfect answer.
The sun is hot.
While I was looking at my mistakes and searching for ways to correct them, she was laughing.
<Now, now let's calm down and recognize that some mistakes are inevitable>
My words did nothing to calm her down as her laughing only intensified.
A man floating in space next to a star could be seen striking a thinking pose as if the star next to him was merely a giant orange and not a giant burning gaseous mass.
It looks like I got the gist of it.
I looked in the distance as I began to shine until my body resembled the sun in the next millisecond I disappeared.
---------------
Looking at this solar system I realized that its size was a thousand times bigger than any I've seen so far.
Looking at the planet in front of me made me sigh at its sheer size of it.
It was at least 100 times bigger than my home planet.
A monstrous world that holds uncountable powerhouses.
But I knew that as long as I got too close to the surface the rank 5s would sense me immediately.
So I needed a way to get to the surface fast enough.
Or maybe reduce my energy level so I could camouflage myself.
I look at my hand as I touch it and then cut it.
I suppress the energy on it as I threw it toward the planet.
------------
Inside a majestic empire existed a city, it wasn't big nor strong enough to be supported by the capital as it looked a bit old.
Inside such a city there was a certain number of nobles.
In one of such noble mansions lived a handsome youth.
He was very hard-working and ambitious as he hoped to inherit his father's business and grow it even further.
Suddenly a sound resounded as a flash flew through the window and went through the boy's head.
The thing was tiny, barely the size of a finger.
It started digging into his head as the youth spasmed and shivered.
The gruesome scene ended with the thing embedded through the body with the wound on the head healing.
After 1 hour a knock sounded on the door as a sweet voice called out.
<Young master, the meal is ready!>
The youth opened his eyes as his mouth began to move.
<Im coming, prepare the bath>
Getting the answer she needed, the maid began walking towards the bathhouse.
The boy got up and his eyes began changing color, he walked to the window and kept touching his face and throat.
{I see your technique did indeed work}
I thought as I continued looking for flaws in the mirror.
<Of course it works, my technique can only be noticed by rank 12 beings.>
I stopped moving as I stared into my eyes.
{Im curious about what rank you had back then}
<Telling you that would only demoralize you.>
{Oh man....}
I faked disappointment as I continued inspecting myself for about 10 minutes.
I then calmly went out the door and walked to the room I was supposed to eat in.
--------------
After 1 week I managed to understand where I was, in short, I was in the middle of nowhere.
This city is close to the border of the empire and is not excelling in anything in particular.
I was the first child of one of this city's nobility families.
Nothing particularly outstanding in this empire.
The highest fighting force my family had was a rank 2 with several rank 1 soldiers.
A rank 3 was something that would be able to rule a city two times the size of this one alone.
In the following weeks, I started and managed to be able to enslave all the families in this small city.
Even though this settlement was considered small it was still 5 000 km².
Their techniques helped me a lot, also their elixirs and pills greatly boosted my cultivation speed.
Even though my body was on a distant moon meditating it was still able to receive all the boons from my cultivation here.
-----------------
4 months passed and my cultivation rose halfway to rank 4.
It looked like it would not take much for me to rank up again.
I began to check the progress on the tasks I previously gave to my servants.
For a faster training speed I, of course, needed points so I made them make an underground breeding farm.
But the animals in there were not normal since they would only gain me 1 or 2 points on each one.
In this world, animals were able to absorb natural energy and were able to also rank up.
Zitnjia told me when a world reaches a certain level its animals would rank up to level 2 and higher and even achieve human form.
A human being like myself can also achieve atavism when and if my bloodline awakens.
But that only applied to people who got a certain bloodline inheritance or similar.
But my situation is unique.
Because of my thoughts and heart and also the fact that in one of my previous lives, I was able to get a bloodline inheritance.
I was able to awaken a certain dormant bloodline.
One that signified a certain sin.
The thousand-headed bloodhound.
A type of dog that looked like anything but a dog.
It had draconian heads that each spewed a certain law.
It was a divine beast and later became a god.
I looked at the countless animals that were caged inside the facility and with a finger flick all of them became pools of blood.
The gory scene would have terrified any weak-hearted person.
The blood-soaked walls and the puddles were everywhere.
I then made a gesture as all the blood began forming into a small pill and then proceeded to swallow it.
After everything was done I ordered another batch to be produced and left.
------------------------
1 year passed and my cultivation was very close to breaking through to rank 4.
I also noticed that my bloodline was slowly growing stronger and becoming purer.
I noticed that this planet housed a bunch of exotic bloodlines.
From phoenixes to dragons and even qilins.
-------------
Today was a very dark day since the snowing got even heavier than usual.
Which caused the clouds to block the sun.
Fortunatly the capital had pretty good lights so the citizens were able to work like usual.
This world has a pretty medieval look to it.
It very much followed the magic and focused more on energy based tools than actual technology.
That wasn't necessarily a bad path,since the conditions were pretty good.
The planet had a lot of resources and that allowed for a even bigger power rise since the discovery of a very important resource.
The mana crystals.
They were very helpful in cultivation and even potion making required those
