On the island's center, Erix was covered in a black cocoon with dark gold patterns, looking regal yet wild, giving a sense of doom yet vigor of a sun.
The bloodline blooming within him was at the extre ends of both duality.
Life and Death. It was his evolution, biologically, granted by natural coincidence and one of the better possibilities of the cosmos that Erix grasped at the beginning.
While Lilith controlled the island and escaped to the north of Core Domain, the island suddenly shook after a minute and started booming with greenery.
"Finally," Rin smacked her lips. "This island was pure white, with those strange arrays and patterns all over. It didn't look like what we heard, but now it's showing."
"This is nothing," Lily chuckled. "Just wait a bit more. Since Erix is awakening here, the island will also produce so phenonon related to his bloodline."
Not a second after she finished speaking, the ground below with Erix as the center suddenly turned pitch black in a circular area of a hundred ters.
Lilith, Rin, Aria, Lily, and Amu sensed sothing brewing in the atmosphere and beneath as they flew away at the sa ti.
After a second, the pitch-black area suddenly produced strange dark gold and purple grass, glowing.
At the center grew a sapling that rapidly matured into a unique, majestic tree.
It was a black tree with dark gold patterns on its branches and trunk, and dark purple leaves vibrant with life power.
The tree grew a hundred ters tall with thick and robust branches. The surrounding of the tree was filled with faintly glowing black-gold and purple short grass. Due to their gentle glows, they looked llow and oozed out the pure power of life and death.
But this was just the beginning.
Aside from this central area, the rest of the island was also transforming in exotic ways.
"It's producing things related to Erix, sort of making it a special habitat for his powers," Lilith said as she noticed the whole island producing an exotic tal climate combined with nature.
The trees, plants, flowers, hills, mountains, rivers, and everything that started producing was not normal but made of elents that Erix possessed.
The most prominent was tal since everything had a tint and faint traces of tal power, making everything look shiny and tallic.
And because Erix had acquired a unique Devorex tal concept, his path on the tal was drastically different than others.
After all, his Devorex tal could devour tals and create new tals by evolving them after exotic fusion.
This Devorex tal concept combined with the natural progression of tal affinity in the 4th realm, the tal Elental World, caused a situation where Erix could perpetually produce exotic types of new tals that wouldn't exist normally.
The Blessed Island was influenced by it, giving a tallic aspect to everything while giving them their uniqueness.
So shining tallic flowers were like lava, so were frosty tallic, so mysterious tree was also space confound, making them glow silvery tallic, while so were deathly tallic, giving a sense of doom with beauty.
"It's been a long ti since an event with a Blessed Island reward appeared, and we got it," Lilith said as her eyes shone, just as thrilled as others.
However, Lilith's eyes soon turned cold as she said, "But we won't be able to digest this reward easily. Blessed Island always incurred bloodbath whenever it appeared, and I'm sure people will co for it."
"All of them will want to kill Erix to make the island ownerless and acquire it, but we can't let them happen."
"How long will it take for Erix to finish his Bloodline awakening?" Rin asked.
Lilith turned to the majestic tree and Erix, who had turned into a cocoon on its central branch before saying, "I can't say for sure."
"The island is also helping him while getting transford with Erix's influence and expanding its power, so it might not even take long," Lilith said after thinking for a second.
"Let's see the island's details. I'm sharing it," Lilith smiled.

After everyone read the functions and features, they were dumbfounded.
"And this is just the first evolution rank of Blessed Island," Lilith muttered. "No wonder everyone is hungry for these Blessed Islands."
"Since these Blessed Islands are a specialty of Mystic Root, people from other parts of the Grand Primal Cosmos specifically co to central areas influenced by Mystic Root to acquire them," Maleina said. "I've heard this since there's soone in my world who has a Blessed Island and he roams around the universe on it."
"But so powerful people arrived and killed him before taking away the Blessed Island."
"…." Rin was speechless and asked, "What could his Blessed Island do?"
"I've entered it once, and it had a barrier around it. It looked smaller than this island from the outside, but when I passed through the barrier, I couldn't even see the island's ends. It was very big."
Maleina thoughtfully said, "I think new Features and Functions will unlock once we upgrade the island, but the conditions are unknown."
Shaking her head, she added, "I don't know about the conditions. I was a young student when I entered that blessed island and wasn't in a position to ask anything."
Lilith smiled as she looked at Erix in the cocoon and said, "The upgrade conditions are unknown because they haven't ford yet. The conditions would appear according to the owner's progress."
"Eh, I can feel sothing familiar…" Aria suddenly said and closed her eyes.
"It's Animus elent!" Amu's eyes glowed, and the sli vanished from its spot.
After a second, everyone turned to the sa south direction and saw Amu riding a dreamy blue deer with black spots and coming towards them.
"That's a newborn soul pulse and the birth of the first native…thanks to Aria's Animus elent," Lilith raised her eyebrows. "It looks like our powers started influencing the island's transformation as well."
Tenebria appeared among the group like a ghost again and said, "Eat the pills and start absorbing their power."
"Erix can eat his pill after he is finished awakening," Tenebria took out one more pill and gave it to Lilith. "Now, the four of you at Royal-order can have maximum fundantal stats."
Lilith stored Erix's pill while Lily, Rin, Aria, and Maleina ate the pills and sat down cross-legged near the central majestic tree.
The island was moving at the speed of 300 kiloters per hour, which was its maximum speed. But it was already fast considering that the island's size was massive five kiloters in diater.
As the island traveled high in the sky, one could its exotic colorful hues produced from it thanks to its transformation that manifested exotic landscapes, bios, and atmosphere.
After two hours of traveling, Rin and the others finished absorbing the pills, infusing them with overflowing power.
"Adjust to your new peak paraters. The island will absorb your energy's residual since you are pillars and use it to recover the damage it inflicts even if you cause destruction here," Tenebria said.
"Cool," Rin grinned and slashed forward, releasing a hundred ters vertical-long slash.
"We progressed so fast…" Aria spoke and moved her feet but she accidentally crashed into a tree.
After all, her physical and magical stats reached 5000 from barely above 1000!
Moreover, the percentage boosts derived from her Bloodline also increased her stats crazily.
Rin, Lily, and Aria started sparring and using their skills to get used to their sudden boost in stats.
Maleina went to scout the island since many exotic plants were slowly growing.
'These can be used for alchemy, but I'll need to experint…'
Lilith and Tenebria sat under the tree as they talked about the things and state of the central region since Tenebria had her eyes and a way to get information.
Suddenly, Tenebria and Lilith looked up in the sky.
"It seems that the wait ti is over," Tenebria wryly smiled. "They've found us and we can't escape anymore."
Although the island was still traveling, there was a huge single-eye phenonon above it, traveling at the sa speed as the island.
"It's the Divine Sight Myspiona," Lilith raised her eyebrows. "They got her aid to find us?"
"It was bound to happen. When the top forces want to find soone, there are many ways and powerhouses here capable of doing that," Tenebria smiled. "But we have Abyss Rule on our side."
"Utilize it well and show this Abyss that they can't do anything to us."
The enemies were coming and Island's speed was not fast enough to escape from them.
After all, there were enough Empyrean-order hunters capable of bringing other hunters along.
"If they underestimate us, it's better," Lilith smiled.
Suddenly, the island slightly shook again while the tree above Lilith and Tenebria slightly pulsed.
"Perfect. Erix seems to be at the finishing point."
