Chapter 445 Lmmortal Core
High in the air of the grey Astral World, Lith's hair was flowing upwards and his eyes were closed while his robes fluttered due to the breeze.
All around him was a golden shine and this golden beam, shooting towards the heavens was visible to all creatures inside the Astral World.
Some ignored it, some noticed it, and some were moving towards it.
It was really dangerous for Lith.
But he didn't have any idea as he had no idea what was happening to his present self and was in another world.
Beneath Lith's feet was water and all around him it was dark. The dark never scared Lith and he wondered why he was here.
Moving around, Lith soon found a small bright spot of light.
Lith walked towards it calmly and he didn't know how long it took, but he finally reached it.
There was darkness everywhere at the place he reached, except for the front.
There was a barrier in front of Lith, behind which there was the thing that was shining so brightly.
There was a lustrous transparent spherical crystal shining brightly behind the barrier and it was the reason for such illuminance.
Around it were twelve more crystal and they were colored with respect to the elemental energy contained within them.
'Immortal Core?'
This was the thing Lith thought of as soon as he thought that.
Immediately after, memories that were sealed inside his mind poured in and he said in surprise,
"Didn't I see this before as well during my ascension?"
Lith had seen this thing during his past ascension but before he could have a proper look at it, he was thrown away from that place. He didn't understand why that happened, but he didn't dwell much on it as it wasn't important.
The important thing right now was why was he having a look at an immortal core. Why was it present here?
Lith walked towards it and stood before the barrier.
"Why am I looking at an immortal core? And more importantly, why are there all elemental energies around it? Is there another person in this world who has an all elemental affinity?"
Immortal cores were entirely different than mortal cores.
While mortal core was just one in number and had a color according to the rank of the person, immortal cores were splitted.
The main core of a person would have its elemental energies come out and the elemental energies would manifest themselves into crystals that revolved around the main core.
They nourished the main core with elemental energies and had various other uses.
The number of elemental energy cores that would revolve around the main core would depend upon the affinity a person has towards elemental energies.
Thus, Lith couldn't help but question those things.
Curious with the core in front, Lith started thinking about the reasons for him entering the Astral World and then arriving here so suddenly. He sat down in a lotus position and started pondering.

In the vast Astral realm, many creatures were moving towards the golden beam of light.
Despite many having no idea how far it would be, they moved. The reason was simple:
They were curious and had nothing to do.
Not everyday were there changes happening inside this vast gray world and even if things did happen on a daily basis, nobody would even know about it since it could happen anywhere.
As Lilith had said, the Astral World was everywhere and anybody could enter it as long as they had some criterias fulfilled.
This world wasn't like dimensions present in Lith's world.
This was an independent existence on its own.
Even if Lith's world was destroyed, the Astral World would still exist and anybody could enter it.
The only problem would be getting your body inside Astral World. That wasn't possible unless one was a god. And even gods didn't enter this place as it was risky.
If one god was found by another, there would definitely be conflict and it would result in serious losses for both parties.
In any case, there were still many people inside the Astral World as it was so huge, people wandered around in hopes of getting something they've always wanted.
Some people roamed this place in hopes of finding their dead partner's soul, some wandered for the riches that this place may have, and some simply wandered for the inheritances that may be available here.
Many past geniuses have put their inheritances here and many have found them as well.
Having such great importance, this gray world was important for everyone.
The golden beam of light that seen by everyone, be it whatever place they were in, was something that attracted their eyes and made them move there.
While many were on the move, Lilith, Lucy, and Arya were the same as well.
Lucy and Arya were worried about Lith and were trying their best to move as fast as they could.
Although they had these emotions, Lilith on the other hand was panicking.
For the first time it has happened that Lith was out of her range. She couldn't protect him in any form as even she had no idea how far he was.
Lilith, although could see through every place in her world, the Astral World was different. It was infinite and no matter how far she spread her senses, she wasn't able to locate Lith.
Lilith's only source of hope was the golden beam and she could make out that Lith was inside as his figure was faintly visible in it.
Lilith didn't show her concerns to the other two as she didn't want to stress them further than they were. She could only keep this problem with her and run as fast as she could towards Lith.
Being his mother, Lith's safety mattered the most to Lilith.
'I just hope you're safe...' Lilith thought to herself while running towards Lith.
Lilith couldn't teleport directly towards the place Lith was in as she didn't know the coordinates of that place.
The same applied with everyone who were moving there. They didn't know the coordinates and could only rush as fast as they could over there.
The entirety of the Astral realm was on the move.
It didn't take long before someone found the other one who was moving towards the golden beam of light.
"Stop! Where do you think you're going!?" A person fully clothed from head to toe in black robes shouted towards Lilith, Lucy, and Arya.
Lilith frowned as someone tried to stop her.
"Keep moving." She said to Arya and Lucy and immediately snapped her fingers after and moved herself.
The fully clothed person's consciousness disappeared without even having a chance to fight back and he was completely erased from this world.
Having been erased from here meant only one thing. The original body of the person in the normal world would now have nothing harbouring it.
It would have a soul and a body but both would become immobile as there was no consciousness.
The person would simply become a living corpse.
While these three moved, somewhere far away...
"It's happening again..." A person sitting on a mighty throne said softly while resting his face on his fist and having his legs placed crossed.
The person appeared to be some extremely overbearing emperor or someone similar as the people beneath him didn't raise their heads despite the man speaking something.
The man then got up and moved towards the large window inside the hall he was in.
Through the window, he gazed at the golden beam of light and with a serious expression, he said,
"Twice. I'll never forget that. Making an enemy out of me is the worst thing you've done. I don't know who you are or where you are, but I'll ensure that I return this favor a million folds to you."
The man the placed his hand on the windowsill and grabbed it tight enough to turn that area into a fine powder.
He then muttered softly,
"Becoming an enemy of the Vampire God will have its consequences."
