Year 1568 AC
It's been almost two years since the day Adone got the book but he wasn't able to decode the content of the book even with the help of the notes of head librarian as the book was written with the mixture of the forgotten language and another ancient language and only the cover of the book was written in forgotten language, which read 'A study on nature of Beast Spirit by Lich King: Lucas Bain'.
This made Adone even more motivated to get a to decipher the content of the book but the other language kept him from deciphering it so he had to rely on the Bionic chip to deal with it.
But to use the rest of the time efficiently he started to prepare to dwell in a new field that would enable him to use his status as a prince to help him in his quest to immortality.
Actually, he was very knowledgeable of the political affairs because of the memories of his ancestors stored in the chip but they are memories of a different world, of a different system thus he started to prepare himself for it.
And as a result of this he took part in royal examination and attend first place but that wasn't a shocking news as he was a prince, what shocked everyone was that he was only Eight years old, to give you an understanding of how shocking it was the youngest person who ever passed the exam prior to Adone was a Twenty Eight years old man.
Thus becoming the youngest person to hold an official position in the royal court of The Great Gran.
But this soon backfired on him as he found out that in this world the power officials had was just to record the happenings of the court, helping with internal policies that only affected commoners like agriculture and the main power was in the hands of people who cultivated.
"What have I gotten myself into? This is definitely just a waste of my time"
He was sitting in his room sulking about the shit that he got himself into.
"The politics in this world just means who got the bigger fist in the end"
He soon smiled due to a long awaited sound.
[Beep! The Book has been deciphered with 3.56% chances that the deciphered content is false]
[Beep! To decrease the chances of error the host is advised to collect more information about the ancient language]
"At last something worthwhile, transfer the data to my brain"
[Beep! Transferring Data]
He felt the familiar pain of data being transmitted to his brain but this time it was less painful as the amount of data was less and his brain was getting used to it.
The content of the book was very simple but revolutionary as the author (Lich King) tried to find the reason for existence of twin beast spirit and the result he came to was that the unborn child absorbed the beast spirit of the dead that lingered in his / her surroundings that matched or complimented his own beast spirit unconsciously and as the child grows up it will assimilate into his own soul, becoming his second beast spirit.
The author also tried to implant beast spirits into unborn children artificially, all resulting in failures. The children would just have few characteristics of the beast spirits but with their growth, they would all fade away.
So the author decided to try it out using powerful best spirits and that resulted in the birth of the first person with twin beast spirits whom second beast spirit was artificially implanted.
This caused the author to make the conclusion that the beast spirit must be strong enough to endure the procedure.
What intrigued Adone the most was the last page of the book on which the author scribbled that it was possible for a person to snatch another person's beast spirit.
'The Lich King was up to something. If he was able to perform these procedures them he would be able to forge unlimited beast spirits but that would also mean that he would have to kill that many people to snatch their beast spirits, maybe this was the reason for him to start the massacre'
"Well, I should find more about this Lich King"
Next day, he went to his father's office to find out more about it.
The King looked same as he looked the day Adone was born with the same grand demeanor and feeling of divinity.
"Father" Adone greeted his father.
"Yes," Drake pulled himself out from the papers he was staring at and looked at his prodigy son.
"Father, I want to know about The Lich King, Lucas Bain"
Drake had a shocked expression then the atmosphere turned serious "Where did you hear this name?"
"I read it in this book" he replied honestly and showed the book to The King, as he knew that his father would already know about the book and the notes he got from the head librarian.
Drake picked the book and flipped through it, then he placed it back on his desk.
"This book is written in ancient language that was used by cultivators before the calamity so no one knows what it contains but the cover states that the author of this book is Lucas Bain that confirms the rumor that he was a cultivator era before calamity"
"I do not know how he survived the calamity but it is said that he knew cultivation techniques of legends and the fact that he was from the era before the calamity confirms this"
"Lucas was hunted and sealed by the founder oldest empire of the on the continent, Shila and his companions, who came from central continent to establish his sect but was soo grieved by witnessing the atrocities Lucas committed that he rallied all the experts from this continent and his companions on the hunt but the necromancer used the bodies of their fallen comrades to attack them which caused many casualties forcing the experts to use their life force to seal the necromancer"
"Only the founder of Shila Empire survived as his Buddhist techniques manage to protect his life until your grandfather managed to save him
"Where is a grandfather? Can I meet him?" Adone asked curiously acting like a kid forcing the question of asking the age of his grandpa at the back of his head.
"No, you can't. He went to seclusion 10 years ago, even I don't know his whereabouts, otherwise, he would be here to meet his youngest grandson"
He then went to his meet his brother who was a cultivation maniac and lived in his own mansion build near the palace so that he could cultivate there quietly.
He entered the mansion which was finely decorated with many luxurious items and knocked on the door of his brother's cultivation chambers and after a little while his brother opened the door.
The young man had same black eyes and hair like his father and younger brother and had golden skin, muscular body and a handsome face making his one of the most qualified person for the job of a lady killer.
"Come in little brother" He welcomed Adone.
When Adone walked in he could see the huge difference between the luxurious outside of the room and the simple but elegant room.
"Brother, I just heard about grandfather from father. Have you met him?"
"Yes, I have met him, he used to guide me during cultivation and play with Tephanie but he left after she turned eleven"
"Was he strong cultivator like you and father? Was he a doctor? Do you know how he met the founder of Shila Empire? I heard he saved his life"
Adone planned to secretly gain information about the place Lucas was sealed and he knew his doting brother would not find it strange if he asked about his grandfather who presumably saved the person who saved the dying founder of Shila Empire near the place where he sealed Lucas as how can a dying person move about?
