Heaven, Earth, Me

Their visit to the city went as Yasenia planned. The beasts were able to notice the change in energy quality, reassuring them that what Yasenia promised was feasible. 

After that, the conversations flowed easily. With Yasenia's current experience, she was more than able to check on what the beasts were doing.

To her surprise, there was nothing wrong with their place. So, after signing a contract with her to build the energy-purifying formation, Yasenia left. Of course, Angel hid a spying formation inside the energy-purifying formation just to make sure that nothing was missed.

After returning to her sect, everything was done, and time started accelerating. Days went by, weeks passed, and Skye's one-year-old birthday soon arrived.

Everyone gathered, similar to Estrella's birthday, and then, the ritual ensued. Yasenia was a bit nervous, but thankfully, nothing went wrong with Skye. 

The roulette worked perfectly, and soon, the sky was filled with starlight. That was not all. Skye's roulette spinner worked again, and the stars in the sky shot lightning bolts, chaining everything together. 

Then, a massive bolt fell down and broke mid-air, transforming into letters. 

Attributes: Lightning and Star. 

Constitution: [Star Thunder Devourer Physique]. From star to star, without stop, endlessly swallowing the sky.

Seeing that everything was as expected, the people around released a sigh of relief. People were already careful after the previous reveal. After all, someone ended up dead. This time, though, everyone clapped with genuine smiles of relief. 

Yasenia and Evelyn picked up the fainting Skye and took her back. That was not all, during the next two years, all the children had their own turn at the ritual, Dianna and Katarina included.

Their attributes and constitutions were revealed, impressing everyone. By order of birth, they went like this.

Aurelia's attributes were [Sun] and [Glass], while her constitution was named [Empyrean Glass Heart Physique]. The combination of attributes and Angel's natural talent with formations pushed them to teach Aurelia a similar path to Angel's so that she could use formations mid-combat.

Dawn had only one attribute, the [Sun] attribute. However, its purity was incredibly high, as she had inherited it from both Yasenia and Andrea. Her constitution was named [Sun Devourer Body]. 

The girls were quite impressed when the third "devourer" type of constitution appeared. Devourer constitutions usually had faster cultivation speeds because of their natural ability to absorb energy. Yasenia's talent and bloodline seemed to have awakened similar talents in all of her children. 

After Dawn, they needed to wait a few months, and then Dianna's and Katarina's time to get tested arrived. 

Dianna proved herself as the daughter of Kali and Yasenia, and she inherited the Life and Star attributes. A combination of attributes that would make many jealous. Then, her constitution came, and its name was [Origin Star Lifeblade Physique].

Seeing that, the girls knew that Dianna would be good with blades, so, even with a beast body, they tried to teach her how to use her claws and other similar slashing items to accustom her for when she could use humanoid weapons.

Finally, Katarina revealed the Star and Moon combination, accompanied by an incredibly powerful constitution. The name was [Cosmic Starcalling Physique], and its quality was really high. 

When Yasenia caught Katarina, she smiled and looked behind her. Her little babies were a bit more grown because their physical development was quick as creatures with a powerful dragon bloodline.

While they had yet to reach the age of two, most of them looked almost four or five years old.

The entire house had been lively during the last year, and everything was going exceptionally well. Still, as Yasenia expected, Estrella had been feeling a bit sad lately.

When Estrella realized that all her sisters had attributes and that she was the only one without them, she felt a bit isolated, as if an invisible barrier was growing.

Of course, everyone in the family quickly smashed those barriers. Be it Kaleina, Kali and the rest, or even Skye and the other little ones, everyone never placed Estrella aside during any activity. 

The dragoness also didn't give her special attention. She treated her like she treated the rest. This showed Estrella that she and the others were exactly the same for Yasenia. They were her dear children. 

And this worked.

After all, Estrella grew up without special attention, and this helped Estrella feel more like part of the family.

If Yasenia and the other girls had pampered her greatly instead, Estrella would have grown to know that she was different or someone deserving pity. Children were highly perceptive, and odd behaviors were easy for them to discern.

Yasenia sat cross-legged in the garden, her eyes closed and her tail resting on the ground around her in a circle. 'The martial art is almost completed.' 

The dragoness continued imagining the stances and energy movements, and then, she looked down at the hollow between her legs. There, Estrella's upgraded cultivation manual rested. "[Martial Emperor Body Technique]. In the end, the technique Tatyana took as a filler has become a life-saver."

The dragoness pondered. "Hm. Estrella is a pure beast with a somewhat inactive [Beast Core]. The [Beast Core] received damage because of her birth, so it is slowly recovering. Estrella will probably transform back into her beast form when the core recovers. However, since she has been a human, she will quickly gain her morphing skill. She might even master semi-transformation quicker than me." 

Cecile answered her. "What does that do?"

Yasenia was talking to herself, but she didn't mind Cecile's company. She looked up at the flying Phoenix Woman and smiled. "Well, that ensures that Estrella is like me. She will be a beast that can train in the other three paths."

Cecile raised her eyebrow. "But?"

The dragoness sighed. "She can't practice the Spiritual Path. Attributeless people are unable to practice it, not before the Heavenly Cataclysm, not after it. At least, according to Mirrory." Yasenia chuckled. "That's quite a trustful source of information, so I don't doubt it."

Cecile landed in front of Yasenia and folded her wings while sitting cross-legged. "What does that imply?"

Yasenia answered as if it were a matter of fact. "That the first thing we should focus on after going out of Distancia is finding a Soul Path cultivation technique." 

Cecile agreed. "Sure. We can do that." Then, Cecile smirked. "By the way. This time, try not to take over the entire World again. I mean, it will take quite a while, and you have a time limit, no?"

Yasenia rolled her eyes. "As if I wanted to conquer this world on purpose. Stupid people that kept provoking and poking at me. In the end, I bit off their arms, torso, and other parts and then swallowed them. That should teach them not to bother me." 

Cecile rolled her eyes, and the dragoness asked. "Where is Katarina? You and her are inseparable lately."

Cecile laughed. "Well, Katarina is important, but my big girl was starting to feel a bit frustrated. So, I needed to come check."

Yasenia smiled at Cecile's light tone. It had been long since they met, and the previously mute and cold woman who didn't know emotions was now blossoming. In 100 years, Cecile would probably be much more outspoken, almost indistinguishable from any other woman. 

Yasenia didn't complain. As long as Cecile was happy, she would support her path. 

Cecile looked at Yasenia's soft smile and sighed in admiration. It has been more than twenty years, and the woman before her looked even more gorgeous than before. 

With the years, wars, and other political intrigues, the previous attractive and young seductive woman has completely transformed into a lethal being. 

Her body, even more seductive than before, had an air of maturity and power that made her look like a ripened fruit ready to eat. Her facial features couldn't be described as anything other than enthralling. Not to mention her aura, which would make anyone feel like they needed to obey her, yet, for close people, it was similar to a protective embrace, full of love and care.

The dragoness gained maturity and charm with age, increasing her overall attractiveness. 

Cecile asked. "Say, Yasenia. How about you wear a veil or something?"

The dragoness blinked cutely. "A veil? Why?"

Cecile hummed. "I really think that it will save us from quite a few troubles if we all just cover our faces with veils and our bodies with loose clothing. In this world, where lustful people roam almost every corner, at least trying to keep our beauty secret might be better." 

Yasenia hummed. "It is actually not a bad idea. How about you speak with Evelyn so that she can create a design that we all like? Dear has recently made another breakthrough in her tailoring while creating the dresses for the little girls."

Cecile laughed. "Did she? I didn't hear about it."

The dragoness snorted. "How could you hear anything when 40% of your time is with me, another 40% with Katarina, and the last 20% you use to cultivate." 

Cecile coughed. "Sorry, I'll try to involve myself a bit more." 

Yasenia smiled. "You better. Cecile, I know you are really possessive of me and that the Moon Phoenix instincts keep you from caring for anything else other than family. I also know that if anything happened to the other girls, you probably wouldn't mourn much." 

Cecile hummed and didn't deny it. It was undeniable that she got along with the rest. She didn't have any problems with them, and if she could, she would help them with her all.

Yasenia smiled. "Anyway, come and help me finish the last set of moves. I need something so that phoenix-type beasts don't get stuck in the moves."

Cecile stood up and said. "Are you trying to make the martial art available for all kinds of creatures?" 

Yasenia nodded. "At least available to all my children's races. There are a few moves that can be done with multiple limbs so that Dianna can use them. Everything is attributeless, of course, so that Estrella can practice them." 

Cecile hummed. "I see. That's nice."

Yasenia commented. "Speaking of that, how are the girls doing cultivation-wise?" 

Cecile asked. "Do you mean Katarina and Dianna?"

Yasenia nodded. "Nop. I mean, Kaleina, Flame, Katarina, and Dianna."

Cecile blinked. "Well, Kaleina is slowly approaching the third realm, while Flame has almost managed to break through into it. Then, Katarina and Dianna are both in the second beast core realm; none have advanced." 

Yasenia nodded. Cecile commented. "By the way… Have you been using the Transmutation Cauldron?"

Yasenia paused and blinked a few times. "Wow. I can use it now! Oh, why did I almost forget we have that treasure!?" 

Cecile laughed. "The [Earth Refining Cauldron] has been gathering a bit of dust in your ring, has it not?"

Yasenia nodded. "It totally has. Impressive. I have something that can, quite literally, pop materials from thin air, but I have not been using it. Anyway, let's move on. I want to complete this martial technique before Estrella's third birthday." 

Cecile nodded. "Sure."
