Chapter Thirty: The Inner and Outer Universe. Part Two
Poison Empress said, her voice filled with seriousness:
"Alright, listen to me carefully. Both the Martial Soul World and the Immortal World have been severely damaged by the fierce conflict between the Emperors. They can no longer withstand any more destruction; if it continues, they will fall just as this world did, descending from a higher realm to a lower-level one.
For this reason, more than twenty Emperors, fifty individuals at the Half-Emperor level, one hundred Saints, and more than a thousand fighters below the Saint level gathered from the far reaches of the vast universe. Under the leadership of the Universe Emperor and the Space-Time Emperor, they made a crucial decision.
They created a great barrier that divides the universe into two parts: the Inner Universe, where we now stand, and the Outer Universe, which includes the Martial Soul World.
Afterward, many Emperors tried to break through this barrier, but all their attempts ended in failure.
The barrier was so strong that not even a single ray could scratch it, making passage through it an impossibility.
Nevertheless… there is only one way to cross, and that is through the Contract Circle.
An ancient circle, divided among the imperial families who participated in building the barrier in the Martial Soul World.
So… does this mean that if I wish to travel to the Martial Soul World, I must first find the Contract Circle?
The Poison Empress said: Yes, that's correct. Anyway, I remember that your ancestor, the Red Dragon Emperor, made a deal with one of the Emperors of this family in the Martial Soul World and obtained permission that would allow a descendant of his, someday, to make an agreement with one of the descendants of that Emperor. However, the Contract Circle cannot be activated from this world; it must be activated by a member of that family in the Martial Soul World.
But remember, this circle can only be used once, and afterward, it automatically destroys itself. This family is only allowed to use it if they are in need of assistance. This means that only the King of the Red Dragon will have the opportunity to use it. As for you, you are far too weak to meet the requirements, meaning you won't be able to use it in your current state.
Furthermore, whoever uses it to travel to the Martial Soul World will never be able to return to this world. Their life in that world will depend on the type of contract they make with the person they summon.
So, are you ready to become a contracted beast? Or a slave? Or an equal? Or…
Well, thank you. For now, I don't know what will happen.
Nevertheless, I am grateful to you. I've received useful information from you. Thank you.
The Poison Empress said: "No need to thank me, however, I am curious about the type of contract you will make if you get this opportunity. It's a pity that this will not happen, and it's just curiosity. Anyway, the Red Dragon Clan alone is the only clan that possesses this great opportunity. In this era, it is considered better than a hundred rare treasures from the previous era. In the past, no one thought about it, and many rejected it because they did not need it, especially since the Martial Soul World had started to decline, so no one cared about it. But in this era, it's a better and greater opportunity than a hundred ancient treasures."
"If it is as you say, this means that entering the Martial Soul World is fraught with danger, and not just a simple challenge. I must be completely prepared before thinking about it."
The Poison Empress smiled sarcastically.
The Poison Empress said: "Exactly. Most of those who heard about this opportunity rejected it, not because they didn't want it, but because they understood the consequences. Once you enter there, you will no longer be the master of your fate. The summoner determines your life, and your freedom may become nothing more than a mere illusion.
I let out a heavy sigh.
But this also means that there are still people in the Martial Soul World who have the ability to summon someone from this world… This means that there are those who can control the fate of the newcomers.
The Poison Empress nodded in agreement.
The Poison Empress said, "You understand quickly; that's good. The imperial family there still possesses that power, but they will only use it in the most extreme circumstances. And don't forget, this opportunity is only available to the Red Dragon bloodline. But even if you are qualified, you are still far too weak to meet the requirements."
"Well, that just means I need to become stronger. Sooner or later, I will reach the point where I can overcome this barrier, whether through the circle or some other way."
The Poison Empress laughed.
The Poison Empress said sarcastically, "Your enthusiasm is amazing, but don't let your ambition blind you. There are things in this universe bigger than you can imagine right now. But… maybe, just maybe, someone might appear who will change this fate. If you decide to pursue this opportunity, be prepared to sacrifice. This path is not for those who fear losing everything.
After thinking about what the Poison Empress said, a question came to my heart: Does this apply to heroes? I don't believe any hero would accept being a slave. His pride and the aura of a hero would not allow that to happen, which means there must be another way to go or break the rule of slavery. I am confident that there will be a hero who will do that, and all I have to do is find this hero.
However, this matter is very difficult.
But deep down, I know this will happen. However, where and when, or in which era, I truly don't know.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. Not just to go to the Martial Soul World, but also to search for the heroes and seize their opportunities.
If I must find that hero, I will.
Sacrifice? Since the moment my feet set on this world, I have been ready for that.
Well, anyway, the opportunity remains an opportunity, but how it is taken and how it is used is what matters.
After that, I examined the cave that had served as my home since the moment I found myself in this desolate world.
It was filled with things that had nothing to do with monsters.
There were cages containing many rabbits and other animals, and there was a deep water pool that contained many types of fish.
I looked at those animals, which served as my food supply, both for me and Mia.
Anyway, what will happen to those low-level monsters if I feed them the Spirit Pearl? What will they become in the future?
After thinking about it, I decided to feed some rabbits and some other monsters.
