章 41: Seven Paths

After entering she stumbled upon something, she opened her eyes and found out it was Grand Elder's back. He was not showing any movement even after the stumbling. She felt like something was off and so she spoke out, "Ara Ara~~ Hiroki Kun sorry for that, I passed through the gate with my eyes closed."

No response....

"Hiroki Kun, why aren't you replying now??"

No response.....

"Hi-r-o-k-i Kun."

Still no response.....

All this time Granny Kotori was calling out to Grand Elder from his rear when she moved to the front side he saw him staring blankly to Aryan's soul sea.

She shifted her sight from Grand Elder's blank face to the place where he was staring blankly, what she saw there hit her hard.

Hard enough to stupefy her and her Ara Ara for some time. This time Grand Elder went near her and asked,"Should we move forward."

"Yes, please"

Both of them went deeper into Aryan's soul sea, with an ashen pale blank face, devoid of any emotions.

One was completely dumbstruck by watching at Aryan's soul sea, and another was contemplating about the upgrade in his soul sea.

After travelling for a while the silence between the two broke, "Hiroki Kun we are roaming inside Aryan's soul sea right?"

"Yes."

"Soul sea in the shape of a Mega Galaxy!!"

"Earlier it was in the shape of a galaxy, but after the contract even I think it upgraded itself again."

"Contract event!! What contract event??"

"Oops forgot to tell you yesterday about it, those four kids acknowledged Aryan as their master, and formed a contract with him."

Granny Kotori "...."

"Pfft~~ Wahahhaa wahaha, it's been a long since I saw you dumbstruck like that. Wahahahha wahahaha."

"Sigh..."

"My first expression too was something like that."

"H-i-r-o-k-i Kun tell me everything you know about this boy of mine."

"Hmm.....All I can say is this boy is a special existence beyond our comprehension."

"...Special... Existence.....that little boy!!?"

"Yes, better than asking me any further questions see it with your own eyes."

"Hmm.....Okay, lead the way."

"Better than roaming this space, how about we use that.", Suggested Grand Elder.

"It's been long since we last used that."

"So Kotori Chan are you ready??"

"Yes, let's do it."

Both of them held each other's hands and tried to sync their heart breaths. The moment they achieved the sync something miraculous happened inside Aryan's soul sea.

All the stars and celestial bodies inside his soul sea began to glow, the space began to twist. All the chakras inside Granny Kotori's and Grand Elder's soul sea began to spin rapidly.

"Sha...sha...sha...Whoosh"

Instantly teleported near Aryan's Earthly Chakra.

Granny Kotori unconsciously went near his Earthly Chakra core and was about to touch it when Grand Elder pulled her back "Kotori Chan are you alright you have been acting weird!!?"

"Uhm yes, no...."

Looking at the confused Granny he placed his hand on her head and forced a small amount of pure chakra to purify her mind.

Granny Kotori sobered up and blurted out "The Seven Paths."

Grand Elder wanted to ask what happened to her and why was she acting weird but after hearing out the name of Seven Paths he didn't ask anything and asked only one thing in a solemn voice "Has this boy inherited your clan's blood??"

"No, not of my clan, nor yours too, he has a completely different type making him a special entity."

"Special entity!!!", Exclaimed Grand Elder in shock.

"Yes, special entity."

While they were talking about his bloodline. Aryan waiting in the real world for his Gramps and Granny got bored and decided to dive into his soul sea.

He willed it and "Whoosh" instantly teleported to the middle of his soul sea near Granny Kotori and Grand Elder.

Seeing Aryan Granny Kotori rushed toward her and asked in a soft voice, "Boy who are you and what are you aiming for, tell the truth."

"Who am I?? I am Aryan, son of Anisa and Aditya."

"I mean who are you in real??"

"Granny what do you wanna ask, I can't understand what you are expecting me to answer."

Judging from Aryan's answer Grand Elder intervened and stopped Granny, "Kotori Chan, this boy doesn't know anything, not about yours nor mine nor about his own bloodline, they have just chosen him, it's our responsibility now raise him what he ought to be."

"Raise me? Bloodline?? What are you all talking about??"

Granny Kotori exhaled out a heavy breath to cool down her mind and apologized to Aryan for her rush of questions. Aryan couldn't understand the situation he was in and asked his Gramps about it. Grand Elder explained to him all of his previous talks and the reason why Granny apologized.

After hearing them out Aryan laughed and said, "What's there to apologize Granny?? Anyone would ask questions like that after taking a glimpse of my soul sea and Earthly Chakra. Even I would bombard you if I ever find something like that in your soul sea."

Hearing her grandson's wise words to make her feel easy she laughed and said "Sweet boy, you sure know how to talk with ladies, don't you?? I am expecting a good harem from you."

Upon the mention of harem Aryan's face became flushed red, his blushing heaven-defying blushing made Granny Kotori and Grand Elder laugh hard.

"Wahahahah Lil boy, your flushed red face right now will put the red tomato from heaven's garden to shame. Wahahahaha"

"Gramps stop laughing or I won't talk to you for the next two days.", pouted Aryan.

"Okay ok I will stop laughing, I don't need another punishment for a while. The punishment from the tyrant queen is more than enough for me.", said Grand Elder laughingly.

The moment Grand Elder finished talking Aryan willed and pulled his consciousness from his soul sea. Grand Elder was rather confused by his sudden disappearance before he contemplates about this an extremely sweet sound called him from behind.

"Ara Ara H-i-r-o-k-i- Kun, so who is this tyrant queen you are talking about??"
