FLAAASH!
"Oh, this is great."
After finishing the blood bottle, Drake checked his system messages. There were a few waiting for him.
Ding!
[You have consumed Amethyst’s blood! Because you have consumed the blood of a perfect hybrid between Earth and Light Dragons, you have gained Bloodline from both.]
[Your [Earth Dragon (S) (Awakened)] Bloodline has Ranked Up to SSS Rank!]
[Your [Light Dragon (S) (Awakened)] Bloodline has Ranked Up to SSS Rank!]
[Because most of your Dragon Bloodlines have been forged to SSS Rank, your [Dragon King of Creation (S) (Awakened)] Bloodline has Ranked Up to SS!]
[Rank Up a few more Bloodlines to fully awaken the power of the Dragon King’s Bloodline to SSS Rank!]
[At SSS Rank, your true power over Creation will fully awaken.]
[Your Elemental Affinity: [Holy Light (SSS)] has Ranked Up to SSS+ Rank!]
[Your Elemental Affinity: [Earth (SSS+)] has Ranked Up to SSS++ Rank!]
[All of your Stats have increased by +100,000,000!]
"Well, I’m done. The bonus stats came out of nowhere, but they’re highly appreciated at this point."
Drake quickly decided to move forward and begin the ascension of his Ascendancy Law.
He had a few things to do first.
"Alright, let’s begin. Rank Up first! Andromeda, let’s get ready for another Ascension."
"Very well, let’s begin whenever you want, dear."
"Now."
FLUOSH!
In that moment, Drake felt his Ascendancy Law Essence reserves rapidly depleting as they flowed through his body, filling his Ascendancy Law with rich energy.
Ding!
[You have exchanged 300,000,000 Ascendancy Law Essence.]
[Your [Ascendancy Law]: [Ascendancy Law of the System (Rank 13: Tier 6/10)] has Ranked Up to Rank 13: Tier 7/10!]

[Congratulations! Your [Ascendancy Law]: [Ascendancy Law of the System (Rank 13: Tier 10/10)] has reached its Maximum Tier!]
[Because your Divinity, Divine Treasure, and Divine Ability Cores have reached 100% Growth, it is now possible to ascend further and refine your Ascendancy Law Ring with new materials.]
[Total Exchanged Ascendancy Law Essence: 1,500,000,000.]
[Total Ascendancy Law Essence Left: 110,500,000]
"I really spent a lot of energy on this. Andromeda, can I rank it up with this amount, or should I get more?"
"I would recommend you get more Ascendancy Law Essence. Grinding it shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"You’re not wrong. How much energy do I need?"
"At least a billion more."
"Ugh, okay then."
Drake sighed as he sent waves of slimes to his designated areas, using his Demonic Spirit Weapon to farm Demonic Energy from defeated foes, which automatically converted into Ascendancy Law Essence.
This time, Drake had much more power, expanding his hunting grounds rapidly and gaining passive energy at least ten times faster than before.
But even then, he would have to wait.
"Damn it, well, let’s just wait for now."
"Yeah, you still got plenty strong anyway! Peak of Rank 13 is amazing, Drake."
"I guess it is."
Drake walked back to the farm to check on everyone and found them happily working, even now. Amethyst had really taken a liking to it.
For now, however, he needed to bring Amethyst to the Draconic Records to communicate with her grandmother about her being alive and well, and perhaps to find a missing trail somewhere else.
He also wanted to speak with his own grandmother, Svartalf, to tell her about Umbral’s defeat and that he wouldn’t be around to annoy them anymore.
And, well, he also wanted to have a conversation with her about what she had told Umbral regarding his mother.
Drake loved and cared for his grandmother, but he needed to get that off his chest.
Even if it might bring some conflict.
"The Draconic Records? You’re right, we should go," Amethyst said.
"I wanna go too!" Drakda said.
"Can we go visit grandma?" Benladra asked.
"Not for now, kids. It will be just Amethyst and me for now," Drake said. "We can go as a family on another occasion. I need to speak with the elders about some more serious things."
"I see. Well, good luck," Benladann nodded. "Benladra, Drakda, don’t bother your father."
"Alright, let’s go, Amethyst," Drake said.
"Sure." Amethyst sighed as she left the farming tools behind and followed Drake. They both entered a portal to the Draconic Records.
Their first stop was the Draconic Records of the Earth Dragons, where the Primordial Mother of Earth Dragons, Jotun, governed.
When they arrived, they were quickly greeted by a few Earth Dragons walking around, eating ores, and hunting beasts in the deserts and canyons.
"It’s been a while since I’ve been here," Amethyst said, looking around. "Hello."
The other Earth Dragons noticed them and approached eagerly.
"Amethyst? Is it really you?"
"She is!"
"Our youngest baby sister!"
"Well, hello there!"
"Drake, have you brought our missing sister? Thank you!"
"Haha, it’s nothing. Glad to help," Drake said. "It took a little while. I had to train her and everything. We’ve come to meet Jotun."
"She’s already aware you’re here," said one of the Earth Dragons, resembling a large, brown-scaled turtle with a head covered in glowing yellow crystals. "Come with me."
He retreated into his shell, spinning in midair and rushing through the desert lands. Drake and Amethyst followed him, finally arriving at a gigantic canyon where Jotun rested.
"Mother Jotun, Amethyst is here!"
The Earth Dragon called for her, and then the ground, no, the world trembled.
