GREED : ALL FOR WHAT?
Chapter 30-Aim for the stars.

Chapter 30-Aim for the stars.

Fhalemr in her white combat outfit spoke first. She was excited to see someone her age around. "Huti and Puti"

"Why are you here" finished her dark-haired twin.

The female of the supreme beast race kids smiled before responding "We are out on a trip. We decided to come and wait for elder brother, right Huti?"

The male one named Huti only grunted, he was behaving aloof. The expression on his featureless face made the two Gemini twins giggle. Huti and Puti are twins and age mates with Fhalemr and Ghemegr from school. Even though Huti and Puti look too tall for their age, it will be easy to identify them as children of their race because they haven't undergone an evolution yet. While it is normal for Geminis to be twins, it is rare for children of the supreme beast race to be twins because of their low fertility, it had become something of an accomplishment for their parents who have had multiple births from a single pregnancy before. The people from the beast race have smooth skin and featureless faces with holes for noses and mouths. Their body lacks hair and their head also has a hole for where the ear should be, they look like poorly made dolls from afar. Their appearance doesn't disparage their strength though, they have a divine ability that allows them to evolve into the greatest predator. Members of the supreme beast race have the ability to devour the flesh of prey, absorb their essence, assimilate a number of abilities from the prey they ate, enhance the ability depending on the purity of the bloodline and eventually evolve into a creature with multiple abilities. This ability made them a fearsome race. Even though they lack control over which ability that they would absorb, the number of abilities absorb is also random, and there is a limited capacity to the number of abilities they can assimilate with, it is still one of the topmost divine abilities in the void universe, and it only gets better when they become origin gods. It is just that they are bad with laws so it makes it difficult for them to become origin gods, but they are still a race that truly pursues supremacy. The 4 meter giant behind the twins from supreme beast is a sovereign clone of their father. The immense height is a side effect of assimilating and enhancing the gigantification of giants.

The Gemini race isn't in any way inferior to the supreme beast race, their twin ability isn't limited to just strength augmentation. Gemini twins have the ability to share their thoughts, experiences, and law comprehension through fusion. That isn't all, they are also conditioned to be able to master opposite laws with terrifying efficiency. If a Gemini twin is trying to master fire, the other one will try to master water, the speed at which they master these individual laws will be faster than if they had both tried to master a single one of them.

So there they were the two kids from different races meeting of one accord. While they are here because of their older siblings, others are around for a multitude of other reasons but regardless of whatever they are here for, they all freeze when a powerful presence makes itself known.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

The people below regardless of their power even the sovereign clones of origin gods freeze because of the overwhelming pressure that descended on them. They are not flustered, instead, there is visible excitement on their faces.

The voice of the realm lord booms in their ear "My People of High Heaven"

They could feel majesty and power from his voice.

"It is the end of another trial of heaven. The end to the life of some. The end to the hopes and dreams of others. It is also the start of the rise to power of some. It is the start of the fulfillment of the dreams of some. It is the start of a new era, a new chapter, and a new page in the history of High Heaven. A new origin cycle."

"Just like I do every origin cycle I admonish you, aim for the stars, if you fail at least you will get the sun." The people below could feel their blood boiling with passion. When the realm lord had first said those words people didn't understand him and were confused but then his explanation was spread from various origin gods to their races and down to the common man. It is the template that people use to measure their lives. Meanwhile, the realm lord continued.

"Dreams can be achieved only if you have the courage to aim for it and the strength to pursue it. To get anywhere you must start from somewhere, the first step always counts. I want you to continue moving forward regardless of the outcome of the trial today. Great things don't just happen, you must make great things happen and strength is the cornerstone of great things."

He paused to let his words sink in. Many of his audience steeled their hearts and made determined promises to themselves.

"Be strong and be wise. Family and friends might fail you, but your strength and wisdom will be the last to fail you. So be strong and be wise. Goodbye," he finished and withdrew his divine sense. People were celebrating and hugging each other below. The realm lord saw all this and shook his head. "It is like new Year from my past life" he muttered, but he was happy about how serious his speech was taken. Most of the creatures don't live past an origin cycle. The lifespan of extraordinaries can indeed be extended, but only the truly powerful at either the lord of law level of the path of perfection or the low god level of the path of divinity can live up to an origin cycle. One of the reasons people choose to fuse with the centers of power of dead powerful beings is to extend their life spans. Most people that become gods do this because of the unlimited lifespans they could gain even though the path of divinity will lead to a dead end.

So to weaker people below, with shorter lifespans, the realm Lord's speech is something monumental. It is a treasured experience.
