The Empyreal Gem Master

In the depths of a distant cluster of stars, a signal was picked up.

The being that discerned the signal sent out a message to the echelons of power above him as decisions were made rather quickly.

He remained seated on the crystalline blue floor as he waited for word back to confirm his findings.

And in a few minutes…a voice echoed out from the other side and rang out in the room he was in.

"Confirmed the coordinates of the newly emerging star realm. The Star Squad of the Light Clan is free and available as it has been selected for dispatch."

…!

The Light Clan.

Hearing this, the man seated on the crystalline blue floor had a sour expression as his own clan was not fully aligned with the Light Clan. The Star Alliance was made up of three clans in totality, a system of checks and balances existing that allowed them to prosper across the star sectors.

His Sea Clan and the Ethereal Clan stood in the second and first position in power, respectively, and in recent times, the third-ranked Light Clan had been looking to change these rankings.

But even with their conflict, all three were part of the Star Alliance- a massive organization of people and forces that stretched out across multiple star sectors.

And now they were looking to add yet another Star Realm under their banner, and the man seated on the crystalline blue floor wondered.

'What will this new Star Realm hold? Since it is just emerging, it should at most have a Ruler or two that has risen from its Star Treasures?'

Star Treasures!

Naturally forming treasures from the emergence of Realms that contained hints of the Covenants of Nature within them.

The man thought about what could be waiting in this newly emerging Star Realm, his mind wandering to the methodology of the Star Alliance and how they took hold of new Star Realms with their scope of influence.

Since only weak Rulers would be present in any single Star Realm, it was hard for them to even think about opposition in front of Void Rulers who could cross the void of space.

But the Star Alliance was a righteous one as they didn't simply bulldoze through others to extend their influence.

The Natives of a Star Realm would be promised Star Treasures that would seem like fantastical panaceas in their naive eyes as they joined The Star Alliance out of their own volition- the pathway across the Covenants of Nature explained to them!

Thus, the influence of The Star Alliance continued to spread over time as they incorporated many more Star Realms under their banner. This one…would be no different.

[Fruit of Evolution]:: A Sacred Treasure born on a Mountain filled with the essence of the Beginning. Consuming a Fruit of Evolution would allow one to smoothly gain an understanding of the covenant of Evolution. Depending on one's rate of understanding- a single fruit may be more than enough, or a hundred fruits may not be enough to grant one sufficient understanding to actually grasp the Covenant of Evolution itself. If someone already has an understanding and is walking on the path of Evolution, consuming a Fruit will increase their rate of understanding by an unknown amount. If someone is already assimilating the Covenant of Evolution, consuming a Fruit of Evolution would increase their rate of Assimilation by an unknown amount…

…!

The Fruit of Evolution!

A lot about it was unknown as the singular fact that it could grant one understanding and even increase their rate of understanding and assimilation of the Covenant of Evolution was something worthy of note.

Alexander plucked it from the tree that it was on as the sweet aroma filled his nostrils- almost as if the Fruit was screaming out towards him to be eaten!

Behind him, the Ascendant Gem Masters from the Asmodeus Bloodline only watched on with difficult eyes as this being, who should be one of their own, grasped something that only the Ascendant Emperor Asmodeus had taken so far.

"As the Master of this mountain, do you know how many of these are produced? Daily? Weekly?"

Each Sacred Mountain was different.

Some held Mines filled with unique crystals and natural treasures, while others had something as unique as the Covenant of Gold, and now there was another mountain with the Covenant of Evolution alongside Fruits of Evolution!

Ascendant Emperor Asmodeus looked towards what could be his great, great, great Descendant as he spoke out while healing his wounds.

"One a week, I believe."

A single one.

There were two here, and Alexander unabashedly grabbed both of them, biting into one as it melted into utter wonder in his mouth- his teeth moving and biting down as if they were possessed as he finished the fruit in a few quick gulps!

And his eyes and body instantly pulsed with a unique white light.

||The understanding of the Covenant of Evolution flows through your being.||

||Your rate of Understanding of Covenants of Nature is extremely high!||

||Initial understanding of the Covenant of Evolution has been gained.||

…!

Depending on one's rate of understanding- It could take a single one or one hundred Fruits of Evolution to simply gain an initial understanding of this covenant!

Alexander gained it in a few bites, as more than this…

||Your Understanding of the Covenant of Evolution has reached 10%!||

||Your Understanding of the Covenant of Evolution has reached 12%!||

The understanding was shooting up rapidly just from this single fruit too!

It was a ridiculous fact as behind him, Ascendant Emperor Asmodeus looked towards him with a grim expression, holding his shock from showing on his face!

But Alexander didn't stop there as he gazed at his panel and saw his rate of progression increased to 1,200% because of the addition of another Covenant of Nature, and his thoughts went towards the multiple Ruler's Gems he had gained from the recent battle, and his authority reached out to swallow four of them at the very least.

And all of their musings of Understanding…were directed towards Evolution!

His understanding began to shoot up rapidly.

Evolution.

What exactly was it?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was a change over a period of time that resulted in adaptations over one's environment!

One became better adapted. Better suited. More capable in surviving!
