Supremacy Games

1948  Semi-Celestial Race!

Felix narrowed his eyes, feeling for the first time, the absolute power and authority of the Supreme. But quickly, he dropped such thoughts and refocused on the mission at hand.

"Now, my soul should be considered to carry celestial origin. But, this is merely the foundation...A lot of work awaits."

Felix had no intentions of repeating the same strategy of throwing himself to the three rulers even though he now possessed a celestial origin.

After all, he had already accepted that the three rulers would never risk their sovereignty for their freedom.

"I have to start from the beginning as planned before and rise through the ranks before finally facing them off." Felix narrowed his eyes coldly, "It will be a thorn-filled path, but it's the only way forward."

Felix swiftly started carrying his newly prepared strategies and modifications after extracting all the good data of his latest experience.

His first major alteration was the change to his cultivation system as he had completely given up on the Elementari system.

Through the many experiments he went through, one had captured his interest greatly.

"The three celestials have blessed a single snake and turned it into a powerful elemental guardian to enhance my strength naturally through integrating with its bloodline."

Felix spoke to himself as he got busy writing new modifications.

"This got me thinking, what if I made them create a whole new race of such elemental guardians during the earlier days of the universe? With each one with rulership over an element and coming from humble animalistic origins, I am certain they will spread their seeds and bloodline across the universe in no time."

"While their bloodline will be diluted over a long period, by the time humans are born, I am certain the latest generations will be weak enough for humans to handle."

Felix had already run the calculations through Queen Ai to check the validity of such a theory. He had found that beasts would populate the universe quite significantly; beasts with elemental powers for humans to harness.

As for the legitimacy of the bloodline integration, he was the very first test subject, and his success proved its validity.

"While I have only illusion and poison affinities, it will make no sense for only those two guardians to be born as the rest of humans need to be part of it."

In his eyes, if the new cultivation system didn't prove to be effective galaxy-wide, humans wouldn't invest time and resources in it.

After finishing with the final touches, Felix requested, "Use my planet's mythology to shape them up. I am sure they will be around for a while."

Although their creation would go through the three rulers by following the tablet's instructions, the universe's heart could still bestow identities upon them.

It was the same with the three rulers.

"Just make sure it doesn't affect my planet's history negatively in the new universe."

The universe's heart flared, accepting the requests.

"If this cultivation system were to work, I would have the potential to reach the strength of those elemental guardians."

While he knew this wouldn't be enough to deal with the three celestials even if it worked out as he imagined, Felix wasn't too bothered. Once he reached that limit, he could find new ways to break past it in the next attempts.

"Modifications complete."

After Felix heard the announcement, he looked at his featureless hands one last time and then he nodded, approving the start of the trials.

The seven celestial hearts busted out of his chest, some flew somewhere and some stayed in place as the trial of ascension kicked off.

As for Felix's soul? It disappeared into the ether, awaiting the time of his birth.

The only difference now, his soul was sharing a celestial origin even if it wasn't going to show under anyone's inspection...It was like an unnoticeable mark.

***

Many days later...

Felix was kicked off back to the original timeline after dying in the eleventh universe. After the initial daze of the memories merging together, he was back to his senses in less than half an hour.

The experience under the three rulers had toughened him beyond measure, nothing he had gone through in the next universe was enough to change anything in him.

It was like he visited an alternative universe and came back with information instead of trauma and such.

As for his death? it happened much earlier than Venom Doctor, as he went out during an investigation mission under his bloodline clan.

However, he was quite pleasantly surprised by the experience and how the universe shaped after his latest modifications.

"As expected, the bloodline integration system was born eons before my arrival. But, its development was quite lackluster." Felix frowned, "I expected humans to have discovered the remnants of the elemental guardians in the beasts' bloodlines...Yet, they failed to even figure out the beasts' origins...How is this possible?"

19:28

Felix believed that it should have been quite easy with his race's mastery over genetic manipulation to discover the elemental guardians' genes.

"If they failed, shouldn't they have reached the metal race and hired their services?"

If humans weren't capable of pulling it off, he was certain that they would have reached out to the metal race to seek their assistance.

Knowing that something was off, Felix requested Queen Ai, "Please utilize the data about my previous bloodlines and analyze them thoroughly."

Queen Ai tapped into his memories and after a few moments, she came back with the results.

"Examination complete...99% of the bloodline is accounted for, the remaining 1% is indeterminable."

"Indeterminable?" Felix frowned.

"I can not find the genes."

"Show me." Queen Ai manifested a hologram of the bloodlines' DNA as an infinite stripes. Felix tried his best to see the abnormality, but he found nothing.

That's when he realized that was the abnormality in itself.

"The elemental guardians' bloodlines do have a presence in the beast, but they can't be sensed at all...Does this mean, only those with a superior spiritual pressure can spot them?" Felix knitted his eyebrows.

He realized that the elemental guardians' bloodlines might be still somewhat sentinel. That's because only sentinal entities possessed spiritual pressure!

It didn't matter if it was a string of DNA or a black hole, a hint of consciousness was enough to establish a spiritual pressure.

This meant...

"It's impossible to carry on with my plan unless I had someone with a higher spiritual pressure to help me extract those bloodlines."

Felix covered his forehead in exhaustion, feeling like every time he made a breakthrough, ten other issues arose to halt his progress.

"Only celestials possess a higher spiritual pressure than elemental guardians." Felix sighed, "Does that mean I have to create another terrifying race."

Felix understood that the more powerful races he brought into his universe, the less control he had over his life...After all, if he kept adding beings capable of slapping him to death, how could he survive?

But soon, it hit him...Felix's eyelids rose in interest as a new idea took hold of him.

"If I constructed a new powerful semi-celestial race, they will surely possess the strength to keep the three celestials at bay."

Felix swiftly got into planning, bringing out new holograms.

"While I am sure the three celestials can defeat them if they went all out, it would come at a significant price of heavenly energy. I have come to understand that they cherish their celestial energy above everything."

Felix had seen how stingy the three celestials were at using the heavenly energy produced from the universe's heart.

He had heard them speak plenty about using it to bruteforce the universe's heart if the tablet's instructions failed to deliver.

"If I added a semi-celestial race somewhat similar to the elemental guardians, it would create many new variables. While variables result in great disturbance to the timeline, it could also create new opportunities for me to thrive."

Felix understood that for a mortal undergoing a journey of ascension, there was nothing worse than finding no opportunities to accelerate the progress.

"But wait, how will I get their help? Do I use the prophecy tablet too?" Felix held his chin thoughtfully.

Felix wanted to avoid mentioning his name as much as possible to avoid attracting the three celestials' attention to him. If he were to use the tablet, it would put him in their radars.

"Let's create them first and see how it goes."
