Solomon made a hand sign and the Heaven Mutiny Pillar moved towards him which stunned everyone. Solomon then placed his hand on it and closed his eyes as he channeled his Spirit Power into it to charge it. A vicious red aura appeared around his body, which gave off a vibe that was extremely similar to that of the Heaven Mutiny Pillar.
The Heaven Mutiny Pillar had multiple uses and opening a Teleportation portal was one of them. It was not easy to open a Teleportation portal that could teleport beings from one Divine World to another, because of which most people preferred to just fly from one Divine World to another even though there were risks associated with that.
The red glow around the Heaven Mutiny Pillar started to increase with each passing second. On seeing this everyone became breathless, as they knew what this meant. The Grand Elders and Elders who had been studying the Heaven Mutiny Pillar for so many days felt their minds go numb when they saw Solomon recharge its energy so easily. That meant that this Demonic Artifact actually belonged to Solomon, which made him their savior. They came to this realization one by one, and each of them in turn started looking at Solomon with a worshipful gaze.
Herman and Heron had also reached the spot by this time. They had received Hugo’s message some time ago to confirm Solomon’s identity, but personally arrived there at the earliest to make sure that Solomon didn’t suffer from any sort of inconvenience.
“Grandpa, who exactly is he?” Hugo asked in an extremely respectful manner to Heron.
“He is my father and my elder brother’s father so be respectful to him at all times. We are still alive all because of him,” Heron said. On hearing this everyone was stunned, but Heron and Herman had been expecting such a reaction from them.
“He is the one that wiped out the enemy army all alone,” Herman said with a smile on his face. Everyone simultaneously nodded their heads, as they had seen the members of the Nebula Sect dying deaths worse than dogs. The heartbeats of everyone increased as they looked in Solomon’s direction one by one with shocked expressions, then one by one, everyone knelt in front of him to give him their respects. Solomon felt giddy deep down as he could see genuine respect for him in the eyes of his descendants.
The news regarding Solomon and the shifting of both Clans to Solomon’s Divine World spread at an alarming rate. This news completely rejuvenated the moral of the members of both Family Clans.
They finally saw hope.
Oscar, just like Ryan appeared at the Teleportation terminal at Heaven Sundering Family Clan. His appearance caused a massive uproar at the Teleportation terminal, and soon the news regarding his arrival in Heavenly City spread which caused a big uproar in the city too. As an Ancestor Level Martial Artist, Oscar didn’t have to undergo an identification process like Ryan. He left the Teleportation terminal as soon as he came.
He didn’t wander around Heavenly City, but directly flew towards Blasius’s Estate.
He had only one thing in mind, and that was to take Shana to the Estate in the Forest of Darkness at the earliest.
Ch.10
The news regarding Oscar’s arrival in Heavenly City had already reached the Estate of Alexis and Blasius. The members of the Third branch of Eternity Family Clan were a little nervous because of his arrival, especially Julia as they had at last seen him one day before his supposed execution for a crime he’d never committed, and they had, at that time, refused to believe his words.
Ryan could guess what was going on in the minds of his grandmother and other members of the Senior generation of the Third branch of Eternity Family Clan.
“Grandmother, don’t let useless thoughts bother you. Grandfather has an extremely big heart,” Ryan said. A smile appeared on Julia’s face on hearing Ryan’s words. She herself knew Oscar’s character very well, and the other people from the Senior generation of the Third branch also felt a little more at ease.
“Brother, will I have to go with Grandfather?” Shana asked in low voice. She had never met her grandfather, and until a few years ago she’d only heard people badmouth him. In her mind, at one point in time, her image of Oscar was akin to that of a Demon King, so she had mixed feelings about him. Ryan’s other cousins that were above the age of ten were no different, while the ones below the age of ten were extremely excited to meet Oscar as they hadn’t experienced any of the discrimination that their family had had to face until Oscar’s innocence had been proved.
“Yes,” Ryan said as he gently patted Shana. He could tell what was on her mind.
“He isn’t what he was described by others. He is extremely gentle. He even went personally to ask the grandpas from the Main branch of the Eternity Family Clan for help without wasting a minute just for your sake,” Ryan said. Shana nodded her head as she knew that her brother wasn’t the type to lie to his family members without reason.
She felt a lot better than before, and her longing to meet her grandfather increased with each passing second.
Oscar, on the other hand, took a detour and went to the Business District of Heavenly City to buy some gifts for his grandchildren. He had never met them before and thought that going empty-handed was not the right thing to do, when they’d suffered so much because of him. If his reputation had been good, then things would not have deteriorated to such an extent. Oscar used to have anger management issues, and got into a lot of fights on a regular basis and severely injured many in those fights. This made his reputation go down drastically. That was the main reason why most people from his Family Clan, including people from his own branch, hadn’t believed him at the time, when he was falsely accused of that heinous crime. They’d assumed that he’d committed it in a fit of rage.
Oscar had become quite infamous because of the accusations levelled against him previously, so he was recognized by almost everyone in the Business District the moment he entered it. Many people were stunned on seeing him.
The thing that stunned them, even more, was what he was purchasing, but soon they felt pity for him for the things he’d had to endure in the past. He mostly purchased stuff for children under the age of fifteen, so they could tell who he was purchasing those things for. The shopkeepers of all the shops that he visited were extremely polite to him, and even came forward to help him in selecting gifts for his grandchildren.
Some of the members of the Senior generation from Eternity Family Clan that were visiting Heavenly City for the Divine Trials also came to greet him, and many of them also asked for his forgiveness for the manner in which they had treated his wife, children and anyone related to him. They had been feeling guilty since the day they came to know about the real culprit behind that heinous crime.
Oscar didn’t hold a grudge against anyone as he knew that the circumstances had not been in his favor at that time. He greeted them with a smile and told them to be at ease as he didn’t hold a grudge against them. Everyone felt that Oscar was no longer the same as before; they could tell that he had become mild with the passage of time. The Oscar from two decades ago rarely smiled and a dangerous aura emanated from him at all times. He used to look more like a Demon King in human skin. This was also one of the reasons no one believed him at that time. Sometimes a person’s reputation in society decides whether he or she has committed a crime or not.
He left for the Estate of Alexis and Blasius once he was done shopping. Meanwhile, Ryan’s entire family was at the gates of the Estate patiently waiting for his arrival. A few members of the Upper echelon of Eternity Family Clan had also arrived to meet him. They had also come to Heavenly City just for the sake of the Divine Trials. They didn’t have to wait for long as Oscar descended in front of them not long after. He had a serene smile on his face which lightened the moods of everyone present, especially those of the Senior generation.
“It’s been a while,” Oscar said as he looked at Julia. Julia’s eyes became moist on hearing Oscar’s greeting. His heart ached on seeing her moist eyes as he knew about all the difficulties she’d had to face until a few years ago. She’d made sur
e that their surviving six sons grew up well and she’d done that all alone. He couldn’t help but embrace her.
Smiles appeared on everyone’s faces on seeing this scene, and they didn’t disturb them as they knew it was a long-awaited reunion. On the other hand, Ryan and his cousin-brothers and -sisters were looking at the entire scene with wide eyes. Ryan had never thought that his grandfather could act like a romantic guy. On seeing that, Julia blushed. She pushed Oscar away and asked him in a serious tone, “Why didn’t you return after the charges against you were dropped by the Clan?”
“I was a little nervous,” Oscar said with a wry smile.
“So, you had no intention of coming back, if not for Shana’s condition?” Julia asked, as her eyes narrowed.
“No. No. It isn’t like that. I had already made up my mind to come home by the end of this year,” Oscar said, as he could tell that things were going in a direction that would be problematic for him. Julia’s expression eased, as she had already decided to let him off the hook. She was just teasing him. She knew anyone would be apprehensive about returning to their Family Clan, if it had wronged them in a manner similar to Oscar’s.
“You would be Shana, right? You have grown up. You were so small when I came to check on you secretly,” Oscar said as his gaze fell on a frail girl with a pale complexion standing beside Ryan. Shana slowly nodded her head. Oscar just patted her head lightly, but his heart ached on seeing her condition.
Oscar then went on to meet his other grandchildren and he gave them the gifts he’d bought for them. It didn’t take long to bring smiles to their faces. Oscar talked with them for some time in order to become a little familiar with them. Ryan and the other people were happy seeing such a scene.
Oscar then moved to meet his sons, daughters-in-law and his Ancestors from the Third branch of Eternity Family Clan.
Finally, he met the members of the Upper echelon of Eternity Family Clan who were patiently waiting for him to finish his reunion with his family. They had just come to apologize to Oscar after which they left.
“Let’s head inside,” Alexis suggested as it had already been more than half an hour, and they were still standing at the entrance of the Estate.
“I will have to leave with the Shana at the earliest,” Oscar said, as his face twitched a little. Even though Sheldon and his four companions had yet to verify Ryan’s claim, in his heart, Oscar already believed what Ryan had told him: he had that much faith in him. Julia and the rest had a change of expression.
“I have no choice in this matter. I will return along with Shana at the earliest,” Oscar said helplessly. Shana was no longer apprehensive about going with Oscar. She’d found him just like her elder brother Ryan had described him: a loving and caring grandfather.
“Take care of yourself and Shana,” Julia said as she knew the situation might turn dangerous if Ryan was correct. Most people still didn’t have complete faith in Ryan’s diagnosis.
“Father-in-law, please take care of Shana, and if possible bring Cris and Blake along with you next time,” Sheena said in a pleading manner. Oscar nodded his head. Oscar and Shana then bid farewell to everyone before he opened a Teleportation portal to Forest of Darkness, as Teleportation portals connected to the outside of Heavenly City were not intercepted by its barrier.
Oscar and Shana disappeared into it soon after.
In the Ancestral land of the Heaven Sundering Family Clan, Nero and a few members of the Upper echelon of Heaven Sundering Family Clan had been keeping an eye on Oscar via a screen since his arrival in Heavenly City. The screen showed everything that occurred in the streets and outside the buildings of Heavenly City: nothing could escape it. They were spying on Oscar as they’d been informed by Alexis’s father about the entire matter and the reason for which Oscar had come.
“Are there really a few Ancestors from Main branch of Eternity Family Clan living in Grandura?” one of the members of the Upper echelon of the Family Clan couldn’t help but ask.
“Neither I nor Rudolf were given any information about anything like that. I have already sent a message to the Main branch to verify this fact,” Nero said in a calm manner. Rudolf was the Head of the Grandura branch of Eternity Family Clan.
Everyone couldn’t help but nod their heads in agreement. They had no other choice except to wait for a reply from the Main branch.
Meanwhile, Solomon was in the final stages of opening a portal to his Divine World. The members of both Clans and already assembled near the Heaven Mutiny Pillar all packed up and ready to leave. All members of both Family Clans were looking at Solomon with worshipful gazes as he was their Ancestor as well as their savior. If not for his Heaven Mutiny Pillar, they all would have died due to Nebula Sect’s surprise attack.
Herman, Heron and other members of the Upper echelons of the Main branches of both Family Clans had serious expressions on their faces as they looked up in the sky for any traces of activity outside the barrier. They knew that the chances of that happening were extremely low, as they no longer had the Heavenly Treasure that Nebula Sect wanted, but they still preferred to keep an eye out as they no longer wanted any more surprises. The chances were that the Nebula Sect was chasing after the Heavenly Treasure.
The Heaven Mutiny Pillar started to shine brightly, and a big red-colored portal opened in its middle. On seeing this everyone was delighted.
“Everyone listen to my instructions carefully,” Solomon said. His voice was not too loud, but it reverberated in the ears of everyone present, and everyone was looking at him with full attention.
“My Divine World is located in Hell,” Solomon said once everyone’s attention was on him. Many people gasped in shock following this announcement as Hell was not a normal region of Divine Universe, but Solomon was expecting such a reaction.
“I know what image of Hell most of you have in your minds, but I can guarantee to all of you that it is totally different and safe, if you have the backing of someone powerful in Hell,” Solomon said and a smile appeared on his face. Everyone could tell what Solomon meant by these words which calmed them down a lot, but they were still tense.
“I assure you all that everyone will be safe and live a peaceful life in Hell,” Solomon said as he scanned the faces in the crowd.
“It will take at least a day or two until all of you can teleport to my Divine World. My servants over there will take care of all your needs and provide you with accommodation according to your needs. The future course of action for both Family Clans will be decided once everyone safely reaches my Divine World,” Solomon said. Everyone nodded their heads, and he felt a little elated seeing such an obedient reaction from them.
Just as he was about to open his mouth again, he sensed a powerful army comprising millions of powerful beings moving towards Radiant Divine World at a terrifying speed. Some of the beings in this army were Primordial Gods. Herman, Heron, and the rest had yet to sense them, so Solomon informed them about the approaching enemy army as he disappeared from the side of Heaven Mutiny Pillar. Heron and Herman informed the rest of the members of the Upper echelons of their Family Clans about it. Their faces twisted upon hearing it, as they’d been expecting something like that, but not something on this scale nor this fast. It seemed that the Nebula Sect was hell bent on eradicating them.
Solomon appeared in a chamber which had a black cube hovering in the middle of it. This chamber was actually a Spatial chamber inside the Heaven Mutiny Pillar. It was the Core of the Heaven Mutiny Pillar and it also allowed Solomon to power the Heaven Mutiny Pillar without being noticed by the Nebula Sect.
Solomon wished to keep his existence a secret for now. If it was known that he was still alive, then some SSS Grade factions would come running to kill him. And that was something he wanted to avoid particularly at this time as his descendants were by his side. This was the only reason holding him back from annihilating the Nebula sect for killing his descendants, though he intended to make them pay a heavy price later on.
&nb
sp; Solomon was certain that as long as he powered the Heaven Mutiny Pillar, the barrier around Radiant Divine World would be unbreakable, even if Primordial Gods attacked. The Nebula Sect would be forced to watch his descendants escape from right under their noses. He placed his hand on the black cube and started to channel his Spirit Power into the Heaven Mutiny Pillar. The barrier around Radiant Divine World started to thicken, and a smile appeared on his face as he started imagining the faces of the higher-ups of the Nebula Sect when they failed to break the barrier.
“Everyone quickly enter the portal. The enemy is heading in our direction. There is no need to panic. Father will maintain the barrier around Radiant Divine World until all of you have teleported safely to his Divine World,” Heron announced.
Everyone hearing this was shaken up, but they had faith in Solomon that he would save them if things went wrong. They started entering the portal in an orderly fashion without causing a ruckus.
The members of the Younger Generation and anyone with a Cultivation Level below Celestial Realm were allowed to enter the Teleportation portal first.
A Teleportation portal opened near the Estate in the Forest of Darkness. Oscar and Shana stepped out of it. Shana had an excited look on her face even though she still had a sickly appearance. She’d rarely had an opportunity to leave her house over the past few years as her health hadn’t permitted it. Oscar flew at his top speed with Shana by his side towards the Estate, and soon it came into their view. Shana was agape on seeing it, as it was built on a huge mountain and had a ghastly atmosphere surrounding it which sent a shiver down her spine.
Oscar directly entered the Estate and took Shana to its Living room as he’d received a message from Danr to go there. Sheldon, Danr, Cenric, Brian, Hague and the rest of the inhabitants had already assembled here. Shana looked at everyone with a stunned expression, as all they were infamous figures from both Family Clans, but she quickly greeted everyone irrespective of their identities.
