Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 180 Qheglena



"That\'s correct! Although you probably won\'t desire our Blood Essence because of how weak we are, the sixteen of us can still help you recover a bit of your Celestial Energy?"

One of them said with enthusiasm.

This caught a bit of Tara\'s interest as she waited for him to explain more.

"As we said, we are previously experimental subjects of the Fifteenth Tower… In particular, we\'re part of the Celestial Incarnation Project."

"What\'s that project?"

This is the first time Tara heard about this. Calidia recognized it and decided to explain it to her.

"This may be a long story… We can sit down first."

When she said this, she meant to sit down on the floor because there\'s really nothing here in the abandoned building. At the very least, the place is quite clean almost without any dust.

She then continued with the story of their small group.

"The Celestial Incarnation Project was an experiment that started about a decade ago… Many humans and even barbarians died in the process and although we have survived, we aren\'t completed or perfect products…"

"Hmm… I wanted to know what kind of experimentations you were put into." Tara coldly asked.

"Of course, I\'ll go there. In the process of the experiment, they needed to kill a Celestial Being. Most of them are Unnumbered Celestials with rumors of a few three-digit Celestial Beings that are victimized by the Crazy Researcher. Their blood and organs or any part of them are being transferred to humans… and that\'s us."

The atmosphere within the room had obviously become tense. These guys were aware of the implication of this once this was discovered or announced to the public.

As soon as Tara heard this revelation, something snapped in her as she couldn\'t help but release a powerful bloodlust.

However, she immediately tried to cover it up afraid that it would attract the attention of others.

These people here needed to hide after all.

"It\'s alright… We have arranged a strong barrier within this building. It could hide our aura and no energy fluctuations will get out from here." Calidia immediately explained after noticing Tara\'s concern. It also shows Calidia\'s confidence with their skills.

"You\'re telling me that these Magicians from Fifteenth Tower are killing the members of my race?"

Calidia can only nod silently at that question.

"Right, in the recent experiments, the Crazy Researcher had also started experimenting with the Demihumans… This is why many of us have received their gifts or talents as well." She added.

That would explain why most of them have special abilities like Mystic Eyes and talents with Elemental Arts even though they haven\'t gone through Mana Baptism.

The one who created a barrier is also part of the Demihuman Talent Extraction experiment which is just a part of the Incarnation Project.

"Why are they doing this?" Tara asked in disbelief. She had never expected that humans would do this to Celestial Beings at all.

After all, they should still at least be thankful for their arrival and taught them about the method to cultivate mana and about various knowledge they could use to advance their civilization.

"I heard from one of the researchers that they can no longer trust the Celestials."

"Someone also said that providing Blood Essence is too impractical and Celestials were too difficult to handle because of the unwritten rules that they\'ll instinctively follow."

"Furthermore, Blood Essence takes too much power from the Mana Practitioners. There were even cases where providing too much would disrupt their cultivation and rank down in the process."

"In short, they just want to have a strong army that doesn\'t have a high upkeep."

Calidia concluded the words of her companions.

"Does she know this? I mean, the Number 12… What did she do about it?"

"Celestial Qheglena didn\'t sit still. Unfortunately, she seemed to be incapable of breaking the rules of the Celestials. It was as if it was imprinted on her body that massacring her way to the tower is prohibited…"

Tara can only nod at this. There was indeed something imprinted on them about the rules of the Celestials while they are on this land. It\'s not easy to crack it down. However, there should be a loophole to break it. If the loophole can\'t be taken advantage of as well, there is still one method.

"She did her best to recover her strength as quickly as possible. She thought that it was the only way to break away from the imprinted rules but unfortunately, she disappeared after recovering. We don\'t know if she went to the tower only to be defeated or if an enemy took advantage of her momentary frailty and took care of her."

Calidia explained.

These 16 people may not know but Tara was aware of what most likely happened…

Number 12 was taken by the Overseer as soon as she recovered her strength.

At first, Tara also wanted to get stronger as quickly as possible since she wanted to unlock more memories if she was still missing some.

However, it seems that she can\'t do that anymore. It appears that the delay of the Overseer\'s detection and the Celestial\'s recovery isn\'t that big.

"I\'ll look into this matter. For now, stay in here. Stop going outside if not necessary. I don\'t know how you guys have been able to avoid the detection of such a large organization but you might run out of luck. Just wait for me."

"Yes, Celestial! We will wait for you!"

Calidia and the others said in delight.

In truth, the method they have to help the Celestial Beings recover their Celestial Energy is detrimental to them.

Seeing that Tara was not interested in this probably means that she has a more viable method.

"In addition, I don\'t think it\'s appropriate to name her Qheglena…"

"E-eh? That\'s the name she had given though…" Calidia was confused.

"Qheglena is the name of our ship… Sigh~ Never mind… Just call her whatever you want."

With that said, Tara decided to finally leave and return to their estate.

\'Several hours had already passed, Vincent might\'ve returned already… Should I discuss this with him?\'

Tara thought for a moment as she hurriedly moved. She knows that Vincent has matters to attend to in the academy and he\'s also blind.

Nevertheless, after considering all her options, she decided to just inform him about this.

\'He should be able to come up with something to help them…\'

Tara smiled unconsciously after thinking about how Vincent liked some \'rare\' or unusual things… He might find this matter interesting.
