Compared to the Purple Continent, Earth could be considered small.
There are ten continents in this mystical world. Purple Continent could be considered a medium-sized continent.
Situated in the depths of the Northern Plains.
Amassing over 548,000,000 KM2 of Land Area and a total of over 1,234,000,000 KM2 of surface area.
While its water area approximately surpasses 800,000,000 KM2.
Making it two or three times larger than the size of Earth.
With over fifty thousand Kingdoms.
With over eight billion Purplemen inhabiting the Purple Continent.
But compared to the Red Continent which is known for its massive land area and water area.
Purple Continent could be considered medium-sized.
Not too big, not too small.
And within these fifty thousand kingdoms. The Morningstar Kingdom is ranked 98th in the Purple Continent's global rankings.
Having one of the strongest entities of the Continent under its leadership.
It could be considered a supreme Kingdom in the Purple Continent.
Having vast resources under their control, they're swimming in wealth.
Purple Continent is known for its kingdom system. Unlike the Red Continent which is united under an Empire's system.
And the White Continent and Green Continent, which both have a Sect system. Or the Black Continent and Blue Continent, which both have a Clan system.
The Yellowmen Continent is just like the Purple Continent and the Red Continent. Following only their own system.
They've the democratic state system.
Each system flourishes within its own Continent.
And as a supreme Kingdom of the Purple Continent. Anything that occurs in it, becomes global news for the rest of the thousands of kingdoms watching.
The battle between Caden Ryder and Jerald Ryder has already spread throughout the Purple Continent.
The fact that Caden who was once confirmed to have the lowest Mana Aptitude of 0.0001% turned out to have the highest Mana Aptitude of 5%
For his age, he could still be considered the Sword Level of a Sword Beginner and the Mana Convergence Stage of a Mana Child, but the proficiency and mastery of two House Ryder's style techniques thwarted every record he had.
Caden was confirmed to be a Sword Level, Apprentice and a Mana Convergence Stage, Mana Trainer, aside from him.
Only the eldest son of King Alex Ryder has been confirmed to be a Sword Level, Sword Apprentice, none of them has reached the level of a Mana Convergence Stage, Mana Trainer.
Until they've truly passed the Awakening Ceremony that's coming up in a few days.
That's when they could truly advance and become a Mana Convergence Stage, Mana Trainer.
But Caden, being a seventeen-year-old young master of the House Ryder, defied all odds.
And singlehandedly demolish and humiliate his fellow young master.
While Caden's reputation soared, Jerald's reputation depleted at a massive pace. This was what Caden wanted in the first place.
After demonstrating his battle talent and Mana proficiency, the elders of the Kingdom will be focused on him.
He could increase his status as a successor of the Morningstar Kingdom.
And this pleased King Alex Ryder as well.
Not only did he witness it with his two eyes, but he was also amazed at how balanced Caden was.
He mastered those two House Ryder's style Mana techniques without any fluctuation.
And the pressure it exerted was beyond comprehension. It wasn't a pressure a 17-year-old could exert.
This evaluated Caden's status in the heart of King Alex Ryder.
It's been a few days since the battle spar occurred.
A few days after the rumors had already reached the depths of the Purple Continent.
It's already widely known that Caden Ryder has the highest Mana Aptitude amongst the five sons of King Alex Ryder.
This infuriated the two stepmoms of Caden.
But why should he care?
****
[Location: White Jade Castle, Morningstar Kingdom]
Just like always, Caden was invited by his father to dine with the rest of his family. He accepted without a doubt.
Clang!
The metallic door of the dining room sprang open. A path was created for young master Caden as he stepped into the dining room.
His appearance drew the attention of everyone. If it were before his regression, when he was at this age.
He would have been flustered by this many eyes. Not only is he a transmigrator, he's also a regressor.
Too many experiences, his mentality isn't the same as before. He became even more courageous.
The grand dining hall was a masterpiece of opulence, with towering ceilings adorned with intricate frescoes and walls lined with tapestries.
The long dining table, polished to a warm glow, stretched down the center of the room, laden with a sumptuous feast.
The aroma of roasted meats and fresh herbs wafted through the air, mingling with the sweet scent of candles.
King Alex's eyes gleamed with excitement as he saw his son approaching him.
Caden was dressed in an emerald royal robe, with the insignia of House Ryder imprinted on its back.
This time, he braided his hair…..having a ponytail hairstyle, his movements halted. He cupped his hands.
With his head bowed before his father, "Good evening, Father, your son is here to dine with you." Caden calculated his words respectfully.
He needed to have the demeanor of royalty. After all, he's currently occupying the body of Caden Ryder.
When he transmigrated into this body. The true Caden Ryder had already died.
So this body was occupied by him permanently.
King Alex nodded, gently stroking his beard as he waved his hand, he had already left a seat for Caden.
While his eldest son sat by his left hand side, Caden sat by his right hand side. For a second, Caden locked eyes with his first senior brother.
Kane Ryder. Even though Kane glared at him menacingly, Caden wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
Ignoring Kane's glare, he focused on his food.
King Alex arranged every sitting position peculiarly. First, all his children sat close to him, and then his two wives.
King Alex had only sons, and no daughters.
His two wives bore him two sons each; the first wife gave King Alex his firstborn son and his thirdborn son.
The second wife gave King Alex his second-born son and his fourth-born son.
Caden's mother was the third wife and she was only able to give birth to Caden as the fifth son before dying mysteriously.
The cause of her death wasn't revealed till this day.
Ignoring all the malicious glares, Caden focused on his meal. While King Alex watched as his children ate, his face was filled with joy.
After a few minutes of silence, he stroked his beard as he spoke, "My sons, how are your preparations for the incoming Emerald Awakening Ceremony?" King Alex asked.
In that moment, everyone stopped what they were doing.
No one answered that question.
In the Purple Continent's Emerald Awakening Ceremony. Tens of thousands of Purplemen successors will be gathered.
An Awakening Ceremony was created to determine the future of every future generation of the Purple Continent.
If any one of them fails in this upcoming Awakening Ceremony.
They'll never become the next Patriarch of House Ryder and the King of the Kingdom of Morningstar.
It was the crucial factor for any one of them to truly win the succession race and be qualified to become the heir apparent to the throne of the Morningstar Kingdom.
While everyone was feeling anxious. Caden continued eating without care.
