《Rise of the Empress of Stars》Breakthrough
Advertisement
Walking along the edge of the AuraSpring while enjoying the beautiful scenery reflected by moonlight, Zera collected the AuraSpring liquid into a bowl and went towards her private training room built underground in her house.
Locking the room after entering Zera filled the bathtub used for medicated baths in the bathroom with water and added the AuraSpring liquid to it.
‘If I can breakthrough to Level-5 Human Exceed, then I can tell for sure if the extra energy and affinity with my control over water is due to bloodline activation. Recently, even Ren, Lancer, Inora, and her parents all show slight hair and eye color changes. If what I think is correct then, well, add another mystery to solve after the transformation period.’
‘To breakthrough every level of Exceed we first need to find a place with a high concentration of aura and then absorb them into the body making the cells in the body nearly reaching the breaking point before expelling the excess aura and repeating the process till the cells cannot improve anymore under the stimulation.’
‘This can activate any bloodlines present in the body leftover from the ancestor's blood. But from the information gathered till now, this is obviously a backward planet without even a spacecraft capable of interplanetary transportation in large numbers or terms of safety. They haven’t even come into contact with Aura before the transformation. Aww, it’s useless to think about it now I guess. I wonder if grandpa also activates a bloodline that turns his hair pink, will he still be the same cool handsome Xander Lynx with a cold face to outsiders that he always pretends to be, hehe.’
‘Uhm, let’s get started now.’
Removing her clothes Zera stepped into the diluted AuraSpring liquid and took over the sealed bottle from the shelf on the side, containing the essence extracted from the Tempering Flower cultivated near the AuraSpring after they were transplanted from the rainforests a couple of years ago turning the solution in the bathtub into cyan color.
Taking a deep breath Zera started to absorb the aura along with the essence in the water into her body. The water around her lost its cyan color and turned transparent within a few moments as Zera absorbed everything present in it.

The aura which is peaceful by nature turned aggressive and started to run rampant all over the body under the influence of tempering grass causing drops of sweat to form on Zera’s forehead within a matter of minutes as the amount of mental power needed to make the aggressive aura to comply to her command to make the cells all over her body to reach a breaking point before calming down is a huge burden even to Zera as most of her mental power is still in a sealed state.
Under the influence of the aggressive aura controlled by her mental power, Zera's teeth started chattering. Her lips began to bleed as she bit into her lip to stop herself from screaming as she trembled in pain as the pressure over her cells gradually increased.
‘Aww…....sh*t sh*t ...Aww…....It freaking hurts. Can’t bear it anymore. Why did I ever think that it’s going to be easy since I have done in my past life, screw that author who said the protagonist won’t even hum when bearing soul tearing pain!’
Aww….
So in the middle of the night, a sharp scream spread throughout the central area around the AuraSpring waking up most of the members from their beautiful dreams after a day of hard work including the drunk friends and family members of Zera, who rushed towards her training room after realizing her voice thinking that something went wrong while training.
Reaching the training room of her daughter a few moments after waking up, just as Sylvia was about to open the door anxiously, Eni appeared before her from the control panel and said,” Aunt Sylvia don’t worry. Sister Zera is fine. It’s just she is trying to break through Level-5 Human Exceed which should have a chance of activating any hidden bloodline, making it painful. So she is in a lot of pain right now and it’s best for us not to disturb her at the critical movement.”
“Are you sure she is alright Eni? Don’t try to lie to me, you know what I will do after I find out right?” Threatened Sylvia, quite unbelieving in Eni as she has been fooled by this sister duo quite a lot over the past few years where Zera slipped out of the Island multiple times under the cover of Eni to escape Sylvia’s claws which will be itchy once in a while to dress up Zera looking all cute in various dresses making her look like a doll.

“She’s fine aunt, I swear!” Replied Eni, swearing with a hand on top of her head.
Sylvia looked at Eni for few seconds before she slowly retracted her hand and she threatened once again,” I believe this time, but if there’s a problem with Zera, you better be prepared to lose your memory and once again start from scratch without consciousness i.e ignorant little AI Eni as when Zera was a kid.”
“Okay okay, as long as you don’t rush indoors and disturb sis it’s all good. She will break through tonight for sure, aunt.” Coaxed Eni with a smile but only she knows how aggrieved she is as Zera used the same threat to help her cover her to run away from home.
‘Hmm, as a little bird once said, If there is a mom there is a daughter. They even use the same threats. Even the look in the eyes is the same when they are angry. Why do I have such a plastic sisterhood!.’
All this took place in a few moments which are enough for a lot of people to gather outside the training room under the moonlight which has nothing to do with Zera, who is now reaching the stage where the cells have reached their maximum potential without absorbing aura into them and nearing the limit of Level-5 Human Exceed.
‘Fu*k, Eni, you little twit. The calculations went wrong somewhere! The potency of the Tempering Flowers raised using AuraSpring is higher than the estimation and now due to this, the aggressive aura is starting the destruction and rejuvenation of cells with its aid starting the process of reaching the Earth Stage. Hmm, I think it’s better to complete a round of rejuvenation of cells making use of this opportunity by adding another tempering potion, maybe the bloodline will activate completely. Uhm, though stupid to make myself more painful, let’s try it.’
Opening her eyes with difficulty and making sure that there is another vial of the essence of Tempering Flowers to make sure that there is enough to complete a complete round of rejuvenation as not to waste the opportunity Zera heaved a sigh of relief and once again resumed shouting due to more intense pain.
The sun gradually rose over the horizon as golden rays of light shine through the aura mist surrounding the training area illuminating the haggard faces of Zera’s parents and friends.
“Are sure she is alright Eni? There have been no screams for the past hour or so.” Questioned Sylvia once again as Eni still prevented her from opening the door.
“She’s quite well, aunt. It’s you who is haggard. Sis will be out soon, tru...”
Gasps rang out everyone as they all looked at the person coming out the training room in disbelief with their eyes wide open and jaws agape.
Bewildered by the silence around her and the weird looks of everyone while looking at the door, Eni turned around just to see a woman looking in her twenties with platinum hair turning crystal blue reaching its end with sea-blue eyes wearing a casual tee and jeans with a hand in her pocket and a lollipop in her mouth leaning against the opened door looking quite pleased with everyone's look nodding her head with a slight smile on her lips.
