Chapter 1357: Supreme Morningstar Clan 1

But first things first.

While the update was a pleasant surprise, it did not really change the plans of the Evil Trio, and Draco especially. For him, nothing was more important than consolidating his power and grasping what he could, rather than frolic about while seeking what he did not have.

With that in mind, he split from Eva and Shuangtian who went to handle their own tasks, with Eva once again going to take charge of Morningstar Clan matters with the clan system upgrade while Shuangtian was off to take charge of the Supreme Human League matters, especially within the game world since the NPCs were not as easily convinced as the humans of Earth.

A lot of brute force and killing was needed for that one, and she was the best to handle this task with her great strength.

Draco left Eva's castle on the Morningstar World's central plane and returned to his good old dead planet that was now 56% Divine Iron, 24% normal Iron and 20% debris and dead rock. His choice to reconvert the iron he had already changed into Divine Iron made it such that when he was done, the entire planet should be uniformly made of the Divine material.

Touching the ground beneath him, he felt emotional. His work over these past few years with Refinement had brought him far and no one could deny that he had advanced by leaps and bounds while correcting all his mistakes from his earlier journeys.

Now to restart the last bit of his practice towards Refinement and enter the Semi-Origin Stage.

So what was his status in this regard?

Well, Draco had almost fully completed the God Stage of Refinement. Each day of continuous Refinement consumed a vast amount of the mental power cloud, the formless and infinite soul-mental substance that could be refined into the higher-grade Mind Power.

Over the course of the God Stage alone, Draco had processed a thick volume of the mental cloud, yielding hundreds of Mind Force Units which had been used to stabilize and expand his Mind Force crystal.

The Mortal stage of Refinement where he did not have Mind Force yet saw him use 1 hour to convert 0.0125% of his mental power cloud into liquid form, needing to reach 10% converted to liquid to reach perfection.

When he reached 10% mental power cloud converted, he entered the God stage — which was where he stood right now — he gained Mind Force and formed a single unit that was a tiny crystal and his conversion efficiency for all Mortal stage-related Refinement jobs was 100%.

Now at the God stage, he started off at 30% efficiency already thanks to Mind Force, which became the new 'passive' system for Refinement, naturally linked and attuned with it in a way Control or his bloodline never could.

While using Control or his bloodline abilities was akin to using shortcuts and did not add to his foundation, Mind Force was literally the essence of his foundation. So as long as he increased his Mind Force, he would increase his Refinement rate and growth in a perfect and natural way with no backlash.

From that 30%, Draco needed to go through the remainder to reach the Semi-Origin threshold. He had calculated that he needed 349 days of continuous Refinement since each day saw him gain 1 point of Mind Force for 0.1% of his remaining mental power cloud.

For those who wanted the total comprehensive equation, the equation was that he gained 0.2% conversion efficiency (he needed a total of 70% because he already jumped to 30% with the breakthrough) per every 24 hours.

The reason he needed 349 days and not 350 days was because he spent 1 day running this test and gained 0.2% already back then.

Of that time, and before he was pulled away by the World Council's nonsense, he managed to reach 97.1% conversion efficiency!

He was only 2.9% away from reaching the threshold of the Semi-Origin stage! Once he crossed that line, he would be ready to make the final rush into the Origin stage and achieve true power!

Whew, calm down, calm down. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, as exciting as the future prospects were, one should deal with what was before them now lest they end up messing everything up.

As such, he pushed towards his goal immediately, sitting down and converting using his Refinements paired with Mind Force. To complete the remaining 2.9% of the way to go, he would need just about two weeks and a day.

Since he wasn't fully occupied mentally while doing this, he had time to check in on Eva and Shuangtian to see how things were faring for them during this time.

......

Eva simply sent out a summons in the Clan System channel, calling for all those of the Morningstar Clan who could be present to arrive at the Clan Square.

The moment this was done, everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed home, even those adventuring and out exploring, immediately opening portals back to the Morningstar World and coming home.

They were not worried about losing their progress as the Eternal Tree's passive skill of Throughout Space allowed for it to reach anywhere as long as it had a coordinate there, and since they opened a portal from there to come home, they could open it right back to return.

Even if this was not the case, they still wouldn't have hesitated because they knew that every clan summoning was a big deal. The previous one had literally formed the stable and centralized structure of their clan that existed to this date and ensured its prosperity, so this one couldn't be any worse.

This was even more so for the players among the Morningstar Clan, like Rina, Jada and Jade. Having seen the Clan System Enhancement, they had a fair idea of what Eva intended to do, but did not know the inner workings of this upgrade.

Soon everyone arrived and was arranged in order, seated in tiers. The mothers were in the stands, akin to the pantheon style, separated by rows which indicated their status in the family. Apart from those whose status was dictated directly by their closeness to Draco and were untouchable, like Eva, Shuangtian, Zaine, Hikari, Roma, the twins and Rina, the rest were ranked depending on their personal strength rather than their child's achievements.

In the first row were two seats, one of a radiant sun for Eva and one made with golden jade and radiated immortal Qi for Shuangtian. Eva was in her seat while Shuangtian was not attending, having been embroiled in her own issues while pushing for the Supreme Human League's recognition worldwide.

In the next row were the Ancestral Clan Mistresses, made up of Zaine, Hikari, Roma, who were paired with the Immortal Clan Mistresses who were Jada, Jade and Rina. These six beauties had different temperaments and looks, but any man whose eyes befell them would be unable to tear his eyes off, wishing he could possess them for just one day.

This was especially the case for Zaine whose skin-tight polymer suit did nothing to cover her supremely perfect body only overshadowed in the entire universe by two people, her mother Crysta and her big sis Shuangtian.

It was not just about size, not about them being big on both sides. It was the comprehensive total of shape, curvature, softness, visual attractiveness, scent, expectation, everything. In every field, in every regard in which the average being, regardless of male or female, subconsciously or instinctively considered sensual for the human race or for a humanoid race, she was high up in those regards, nearing perfection.

The other one who sparked such strong desire right away was Rina, who was dressed in a tight red mage robe that was perfectly formfitting without hindering mobility or comfort, creating the fabled boob pockets as well as similar visual for her shapely back, especially since her mage robe was cut at the knees, allowing one to glimpse her pristine and robust legs that were soft yet strong enough to carry the 'heavy' load above.

After them were the Clan Elders, formed from all the rest of the mothers. They were a total of 60 of them, ranked from the 1st Elder down to the 60th Elder, all based on their own strength.

Currently, the status was as such.

The current 1st Elder was Lovelia, a dark-skinned young woman who was around the same height as Jada, formerly in possession of red twin-tails and haughty attitude towards Draco. After more than ten years, she had softened up and changed her hairstyle to that of a matronly bun.

She was currently the strongest of all the Elders, having become the first among them to reach the Divine Rank in her Tradeskill, Interior Design!

In fact, she was the one who handled most of the work for their clan within the plane. As Draco could provide endless Divine materials, they were spoiled for choice and were able to grind their crafts to the absolute limit!

The 2nd Elder was naturally our favorite Ophie. She was still as sweet as ever, looking as youthful and vibrant though there was a touch of motherly maturity in her formerly clueless eyes. She was a Semi-Divine Brewer, which meant that she had pushed her grandmaster technique to the Divine Rank but did not yet have the ability to make a unique Divine item.

The 3rd Elder was Verita, the former leader of the human maids turned concubines. Previously, their status had been the shakiest among the concubines but after Draco opened avenues for them to strengthen themselves, each of them had soared.

While the Goddess Descendants had advantages over them due to their half-human bloodline, they also had the advantage of being clean slates and pure humans, so their combat growth was easier than the Goddess Descendants.

Verita, for example, was also at Rank 7, with a fully realized Divine Source Origin that she painstakingly nurtured herself. Even with the rich atmosphere and endless resources of the Morningstar Clan, it required work to condense such a thing unless one used various supplemental items that could brute force, but the clan strictly forbade shortcuts.

The 4th Elder was Natasha, who was a peak Grandmaster of Cooking who also had surprisingly high combat strength, being Rank 7 as well. She was inches away from condensing her own Divine technique and had filled about 90% of her framework.

Natasha was also ranked 7th in the list of Draco's top ten sexiest wives by objective standards. First was Shuangtian, Second was Zaine, third was Hikari, Fourth was Rina, Fifth was Eva, sixth was Roma and Natasha came right after.

The 5th Elder was Potera. She was the half Naga Goddess Descendant whose bloodline was so unique that all her children with Draco inherited very strong Draconic features, becoming the few with dragonman bodies as part of the default biology.

She was a Grandmaster Rank peak Fisher, and her ability had only grown even more when she utilized the environment of the plane in the void to nurture top-level sea species for their family.

After the 5th Elder, the rest of the Clan Elders were also seated neatly at their places, half of their eyes on their children who had lined up neatly in the midst of the square, their orderliness and stark contrast from a few years ago when they were ignorant munchkins.

Much of this had to be attributed to Jada's harsh language when handling their drills, as being insulted by her actually caused one's HP to reduce.

The mothers were proud of their offspring for being able to show such discipline at this key moment, but they were more interested in the reason for the summons. To some extent, everyone was as they looked up at Eva on the sun throne who was assessing everything with a neutral smile.

"Good, not bad. You haven't disgraced the Morningstar Clan's efforts in training you. Now, starting from the first position, all of you call out your names, your mother, your current Combat or Tradeskill rank if you have one, your bloodline purity, your bloodline inheritances and any notable achievements you have made in your lives."

Eva nodded and pointed to the first child, who perked up and spoke immediately.
