Chapter 243 The Legacy Of Chiarlem Lux



Chapter 243: The Legacy of Chiarlem Lux

Other beasts who were incredibly lucky, even gained a humanoid form. One of them was a feared colossal of the sea who, before the transformation, already had its own consciousness; a Leviathan. Another was a dragon who had been slumbering within the mountains of another continent when it was disturbed by the strong divine light. Shockingly, one of them actually came from being just a normal, powerless, and mortal dove.

The dove took the form of an eight-year old boy with two wings behind his back. Like the usual conception for cupid, the boy had curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and only had a normal cloth as cover for his parts. Another shocking thing about the transformed dove was that he was the strongest among the evolved sentient beings, be it in terms of brain or brawn.

Another thing that shook Matthias was that another continent appeared out of nowhere, and Matthias couldn't be even more familiar with the tall green tower situated at its center; The Realm of Aqiartha.

When it appeared, Matthias rushed and went to the palace of the Realm Empress, but discovered that everyone was still sound asleep, absorbing Divine Heaven's energy and adapting with the new environment.

When they woke up, Empress Yuna was greeted by the Divine Lady Isabelle, and was brought to the Heavenly Palace, where they would be granted audience by the Divine Emperor himself.

As expected, when Empress Yuna saw him seated on his Heavenly Throne, she immediately knelt reverently and swore allegiance and fealty towards him.

With that, Humanoid Beasts, Divine Beasts, Spirit Beasts, Humans, and all the other races expected to be taken in by the indisputable Divine Emperor of the entire Realm.

Of course, all of them were accepted by Matthias as his subordinates. They were appointed according to their corresponding skills, with the Leviathan and Dragon becoming generals of the Dark Sea Domain and Silver Mountain Domain that governs sea creatures and mountain beasts respectively. For the Domain of Aqiartha, now known as the Spirit Domain, it was handled by Empress Yuna.

As for the dove who named himself Lazarus, he was appointed to govern the Divine Kingdom Domain directly by Matthias himself.

He recognized Lazarus' talent and opted to give him some authority to govern the first Heavenly Domain that he had ever created. And, with the trust given by the Heavenly God himself, Lazarus did not disappoint and made the Divine Kingdom Domain the second strongest domain throughout Divine Heaven, only being behind the Heavenly Royal Domain that the Royal Family personally holds.

In total, nineteen domains have been formed under nineteen Heavenly Nobles, eight of which are under the eight Heavenly Animals of the eight continents. Each and every one of them holds purpose in protecting and expanding the dominions under Divine Heaven.

In the natural sense, Divine Heaven had also started to develop in itself while Matthias was arranging the governing structure of his Heaven. The Divine energy continued to strengthen and become dense, the beings continued to evolve, new species continued to be discovered, and stronger and richer herbs continued to grow.

All of that happened in a period of ten years. The development of Divine Heaven's power was pushed to its max potential, considering that war is at hand.

And as expected, after those ten years, Divine Heaven, together with ten thousand beings from the Tenth Heaven, stormed the Nine Heavens with full force, with the nineteen Domains under the Heavenly Nobles assailing the First Heaven, and the men of the Tenth Heaven, the Heavenly Royal Domain, and Matthias himself striking down at the Domain of Ninth Heaven.

With the unimaginably powerful beings of the Tenth Heaven, the Nine Heavens could not even put up resistance and fell in seven days' time.

After the war, the Nine Heavens were merged together with Divine Heaven, which made the already huge Heaven become unimaginable to even the greatest mortal mind. Divine Heaven also gained an army of unimaginable size and competent generals who still needed to prove their worth.

Finally, after settling the issues, Divine Heaven entered its desirable peaceful state. The people can now admire the beauty of Heaven and feel its overflowing glory.

As for the Heavenly Nobles, their competitions have just begun. After the War of The Heavens, except for the Heavenly Royal Domain whose ruler, Crowned Prince Alexander, has the authority as a Divine Prince and is also being prepped to ascend as a Divine King, the other Heavenly Nobles ascended from being a Heavenly Lord into a Heavenly Baron.

The Heavenly Nobles' rank is just the same as the hierarchy of nobility, with the title of Heavenly Lord coming in first and having the title of Heavenly King or Queen as the highest rank.

Now that they entered the rank of a Heavenly Baron, their responsibilities started to become greater; Spreading Faith and protecting the domains and the worlds under them.

They were also given two Heavenly Lords by Matthias through creation to manage their selected fiefdom in the First Heaven. This method of granting subordinates with authority proves to be the fastest and most efficient way to do so and also ensures that no one would be able to use the Lords under them to even think of a rebellion.

Using the fiefdoms under them, the eighteen Heavenly Barons started to move on a crusade to their first chosen realm; The Matheon Galaxy.

With that goal in mind, the Heavenly Nobles propagated the Faith to the new inhabitants of Matheon while the Deities watched cautiously, protecting their own worlds that contained their descendants.

Six hundred years later, in a world inside Matheon..

Within a normal 18th-century-looking neighborhood, there was one house that stood out more than the others. There were several boxes laying on their lawn, some of which were opened, which showed its contents; Steel pipes, iron shovels, chunks of metal, canned goods, weapons, etcetera.

"Henry! Move faster!" Looking at the 17-year old boy dragging one of the huge boxes towards the house, the father shouted anxiously at his son.

Seeing that his kid was already doing his best, the father rushed forward and helped the son carry it inside. He looked at the sky, and seeing that the odd sun was slowly sinking down into the horizon, his expression looked even more anxious.

They quickened their pace and finally finished transferring all the boxes inside. As soon as they caught their breath, the father immediately locked the door and barricaded it with thick steel planks.

"What's going on, Father?" Henry asked pantingly. "Why did you buy tons of stuff? You even used all your savings!"

Looking at his anxious father, Henry started to become suspicious, "Are you hiding something from me, Father?" He asked. Seeing that he could no longer beat around the bush, the father sighed and started to talk.

"We, or should I say your mother, are a part of the Lux Clan that has existed since the oldest of times." He explained, "It was a prominent clan 900 years ago, but just like life, power is ephemeral."

"Though the clan fell from grace, it still had centuries worth of foundation. Inheritances from different ages were given to the descendants, one of them were Chiarlem Lux; the man who created the Solas Family, your ancestor."

"What's this got to do with your spending?" Henry was already losing his patience, with his eyebrow lifting with skepticism.

"Chiarlem's influence and authority within the Lux Clan had been very bad at his time, considering that he had spent his entire life within the halls of the Clan's library and did not initiate contact with the other descendants. It was said that he even outright avoided others with his cold stare just to stay alone."

"In the inheritance, what he got was an old, dilapidated book filled with cryptic symbols. Curious about the knowledge within the book, Chiarlem spent years on research to comprehend what it says."

"When he did comprehend it, he immediately created the Solas Family with only one task assigned to their lineage; guard the book at all cost." As he said that, he slowly stood up and walked towards the stairs. Lifting something beneath the bannister, he then started to exert his strength by pulling the entire staircase to the empty space at the side, revealing an underground passage lit with torches.

As they descended down the stairs, the eeriness of the atmosphere couldn't be dispelled as the dilapidated and webbed walls that surrounded them made Henry feel suffocated. Fortunately, even before, Henry has already been exposed to a lot of stuff, so the burden in his mind lessened.

Several seconds later, Henry's mouth gaped wide open when he saw what was in front of him. A long and wide stone hall was presented to him, supported by stone. The room also has all of its corners filled with treasures and equipment, making Henry dumbfounded.
