City of Light.

Six months had passed since the war that claimed more than half of the population of the City of Light.

After this war, out of more than two million Elves, only a little over nine hundred thousand Elves remained, while more than a million Elves had been killed!

The good news was that most of those who remained were young people and children, while fewer than one hundred thousand were elderly, those who had lost hope of awakening their power, or those whose bodies and strength could be put to use!

As for the rest, they either had a chance of awakening their power, or could be put to use physically or in one way or another!

If you looked at this situation from the perspective of mercy and humanity, then this was an injustice to these souls. Every soul was important, whether great or small. Losing even one of them was regrettable.

But if you looked at the situation from the perspective of a city that had just emerged from a brutal war in which it had lost most of its population, then the elderly and those who could not be expected to provide any benefit were a huge burden on the city!

During the first three months after the war began, Vaelor subjected every Elf who had reached the appropriate age to the bloodline awakening process. Because of their young age, nearly sixty percent of them awakened their bloodlines, while the rest were unable to awaken their bloodlines!

Nearly six hundred thousand underwent the bloodline awakening process, but only around three hundred and sixty thousand Elves succeeded, while the rest failed!

And now, three months after the last bloodline awakening ceremony, everyone who had awakened their bloodline in the City of Light had reached Level Three!

Among the 360,000 people, fifty thousand had awakened Legendary bloodlines, in addition to five thousand people with Legendary-grade mutated bloodlines!

As for those who awakened Heaven bloodlines, there were only two!

The City of Light had awakened three people with Heaven-grade talent during its first awakening ceremony, but afterward, as the number of awakening ceremonies increased and the number of participants multiplied several times over, only two people with Heaven-grade talent had awakened!

Someone might think that this was bad luck that had befallen the City of Light, but if you looked at it from another perspective, what would have happened if the three of them had not awakened their talents during the first awakening ceremony?

Imris most likely would have died when the palace was destroyed by the Titan Anar!

As for Ethar and Ayat, the odds were even worse!

They were commoners, and worse still, their homes were near the outskirts of the city and close to the walls!

Everyone had seen what happened to Ethar’s elderly caretaker the moment the Giants breached the walls!

Therefore, Vaelor was not too saddened by these results. On the contrary, he was very happy with them. According to his recent visits to The Eternal Night Heaven, and after asking around in many places, he discovered that obtaining even a single person with a Heaven bloodline every thousand years was considered an incredible achievement for some of the weaker Cosmic Empires, while the stronger Cosmic Empires obtained one every hundred years or even every ten years!

As for ordinary empires and Stellar Empires, obtaining someone with a Heaven bloodline was a legendary event worthy of celebration. That was, if they obtained one at all!

But at the rate at which the City of Light produced them—one every few years if everyone awakened their bloodline at the appropriate time—such luxury was enjoyed only by empires that possessed an ancestor with an Immortal bloodline. In other words, Immortal Empires!

And on the surface of this planet, there was only one bloodline with the Immortal level, namely the Elf bloodline derived from the Immortal Tree of Cradle!

As for Heaven-grade mutated bloodlines, the City of Elves had not produced a single one of them so far, but it had gained one as a friend!

And this person was currently being used as a punching bag by Vaelor!

"This success rate has reached sixty percent. This is still not enough!" Vaelor threw Orion’s body to the side and walked toward a large table covered with thousands of papers, speaking angrily!

They were currently in the royal garden where Rios used to train, and Vaelor had now claimed it for himself!

He had rebuilt the royal palace once again, along with many other things that had been lost during the war!

Vaelor stood before numerous papers depicting anatomical diagrams of the Elven body from different angles and perspectives. On the side were dozens of stacks of papers filled with information!

At this moment, Vaelor was studying the Body Path of cultivation, specifically attempting to create a Body Path cultivation method specifically for the Elves!

During the first month after the war, Vaelor entered The Eternal Night Heaven to purchase many things as usual, and among those things were Body Path cultivation methods.

Unlike the other paths, the Body Path was the most unique of them all.

Paths such as the Soul Path, Energy Path, and Beast Path were not limited to a specific race or creature. The basic cultivation methods of these paths were practiced by almost everyone without any problems or repercussions, and in a uniform manner regardless of race, with only minor differences!

For example, the Soul Path’s cultivation method was the Soul Gates, and the universe knew of no better method!

The Energy Path was the same. Its basic cultivation method was the Law Cultivation Path — The Path of Immortality!

As for the Beast Path, its cultivation method was bloodline cultivation!

But the Body Path was different. It had no unified cultivation method. There were many ways to cultivate it, such as Body Arrays, Body Alchemy, and Body Refinement, while strengthening and tempering the body was always the foundation.

But the most famous of these methods was the Body Stars method!

But even this method was troublesome, as it differed from one race to another, with each race having a different way of practicing it!

For example, if you took a Body Stars technique used by Race A, which had wings, and gave it to Race B, which had four arms, the technique would not work with the same efficiency for Race B as it did for Race A. It was not unlikely for Race B to suffer numerous injuries while practicing the technique. In fact, it was highly likely to happen!

Therefore, after obtaining numerous Body Path cultivation techniques belonging to races whose appearance and limbs were similar to those of Elves and humans, Vaelor decided to seclude himself and begin studying the Body Path in depth, in order to create a technique specifically suited to the Elven race that would not cause any injuries!

It had been five months since Vaelor’s last visit to The Eternal Night Heaven, and he had remained in seclusion ever since, only coming out every once in a while. He had not visited The Eternal Night Heaven since then!

As for the affairs of the City of Light, his trusted assistants who had sworn their loyalty to him were the ones managing the city’s affairs. Vaelor had postponed any plans to conquer or reclaim territory during this period!

Of course, there had been many protests from the Elves demanding revenge against those who had invaded their homeland after they had regained their strength and grown even stronger, but none of them could oppose Vaelor’s order, and they quietly waited for the appropriate time that Vaelor had told them about!

As for Vaelor himself, during this period, aside from secluding himself with Orion to research and invent a Body Path cultivation technique specifically for the Elves, Vaelor had also entered seclusion and begun comprehending the seven Laws of the Elves...

Fire, Water, Light, Darkness, Lightning, Wind, and Wood!

In addition to that, Vaelor had also entered that strange world through the worn golden manuscript, and thanks to his comprehension of the new Laws, he had gained an enormous amount of enlightenment from that world!

Unfortunately, he would not be able to enter again until he comprehended another Law, so Vaelor had postponed this plan for the time being because he was occupied with other matters!

Over the course of five months, in addition to his other affairs, Vaelor had successfully reached sixty percent completion in creating the new Body Path cultivation technique specifically for the Elves!

If an expert in the Body Path heard this, their eyes and mouth would remain wide open for years and decades. It was well known that such techniques were not created in days, months, years, or even decades. One could even say that they could not be created over the course of centuries!

This type of technique was created and developed across generation after generation of experts and specialists, until they finally produced the desired result suited to their race!
