“Huh?”
When he heard the tribe leader’s words, Leo looked at the thick door in front of him that had the words ‘Starlight Library’ on it.
“I don’t have much clue about cultivation. Can you tell me about it before I enter it?”
Leo already had a rough idea about the cultivation but didn’t know many details about it.
‘As for picking the cultivation techniques inside the ‘Starlight Library’, I can do it later.’
Even though Leo was not expecting much from these people when he saved them, that doesn’t mean he would reject their gifts.
Therefore, he wanted to know more about cultivation before picking the cultivation techniques from the library.
“Huh? Saviour didn’t know about cultivation?”
The tribe leader was surprised as he looked at Leo to see whether he was telling the truth or not.
“No. I am following the ‘Path of Heroes’ where I have to increase the level of my awakened talents.”-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.
Leo had visited half of the cities in his world, and there was no such thing as cultivation. Hence, there was no way for Leo to learn about such things.
‘He doesn’t mean like he is lying. But, how is he so powerful with just a rank 9 hero strength?’
Even though he didn’t see Leo fighting others; however, when he was still enslaved, Leo became popular in the entire Beastnet that even the Slave Marker ordered them to capture Leo if possible.
According to what he heard, the human in front of him could even kill level 2 and injure level 3 supreme-ranked beings.
So, the old tribe leader was surprised to hear that Leo didn’t know about his cultivation.
‘If he was already this strong without starting his cultivation, I wonder how strong he would become after he started his cultivation journey?’
Just a simple thought made the old man curious about the increase in Leo’s battle prowess.
“Since Saviour Leo didn’t know about cultivation, I will explain it first.”
Soon, the old man Fremont came out of his thoughts and started explaining the cultivation. ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
“Cultivation is a path in which someone can increase their strength to the point where we could no longer be mortal and could be considered as someone who was bound to become Gods.”
“Bound to become Gods?”
Leo was shocked as he soon realized something, ‘So, the otherworldly beings that came to our world are all cultivators who could not only cultivate but also follow the ‘Path of Heroes’?’
‘If cultivating could make someone into Gods, why did they not talk about it? Instead, they solely empathized with ‘Following the ‘Path of the Heroes’?’
At the same time, he didn’t understand why the otherworld beings would completely emit the knowledge about ‘Cultivation’.
They established the ‘Hall of Gods’ to help the humans awaken their talents and explained the ‘Path of the Heroes’; however, they completely omitted the ‘Cultivation’.
‘Let’s see and ask all the doubts at the end.’
Nevertheless, he didn’t interrupt the old man and continued to hear more about the cultivation through his words.
“Cultivation was present from ancient times; however, different people and races used different types of cultivation depending on the available resources in their world.
For example, our starlight world has plenty of stars emitting pure starlight energy. Our ancestors worked hard, and after countless trials and errors, they developed suitable cultivation for us.
It is called Starlight Cultivation, where we absorb the starlight energy from the stars to increase our strength. Almost all our cultivation techniques are directly or indirectly connected to the starlight energy.”
After a lengthy explanation, the tribe leader stopped his explanation to let Leo absorb all the knowledge he gained regarding the cultivation.
“Oh. So, there are different types of cultivations.”
Leo nodded in understanding.
“Yes.”
The tribe leader nodded and explained, “According to our ancestors, various types of cultivation like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Sun and so on. Since there are countless worlds, countless types of cultivation exist to increase your strength.”
“Countless number of cultivation?”
Leo’s interest in the ‘Cultivation’ topic was piqued; however, he suppressed it and asked, “How did you learn about ‘Path of the Heroes’?”
Since they learned cultivation from their ancestor, Leo wondered how they learned about the other path.
He had already seen that these starlight people follow both the ‘Path of the Heroes’ and ‘Cultivation path’. Hence, he was curious about it.
“There was a time when hundreds of portals opened in our peaceful world, and from these portals, monsters and the beings from the other worlds entered and tried to invade our Starlight World.”
Fremont had mixed emotions on his face when he heard Leo’s question; however, he still answered.
“With our strength, we were able to defend ourselves after losing many of our brave cultivators against these monsters. Then, a voice came from the heavens that we are worthy enough to receive the world assessment and that same voice awakened the talents in us before saying about the ‘Path of Heroes.”
“However, in the end, even with two paths, we are still not strong enough to pass the grade 1 world assessment.”
The tribe leader clenched his fists in anger.
As one of the strongest cultivators of the Starlight World, Fremont blamed himself for not being strong enough to protect his world.
However, that didn’t stop him; instead, it motivated him to become stronger to protect his Starlight Tribe in this world.
‘The sudden appearance of the portals in his world must be the pre-assessment that our world barely passed with the help of the otherworldly beings.’
Soon, he started comparing the Starlight World with his world. They were both human worlds; however, one had cultivators that could defend themselves in the pre-assessment, whereas his world needed the help of the otherworldly beings to survive barely.
‘Moreover, the starlight people learned things from a voice from the heavens, whereas we learned things from the otherworldly beings.’
‘Also, the War God Odren’s remnant spirit said they had to suddenly leave the human world, fearing that someone would notice them. I think he talked about the voice from the heavens.
‘If not for the otherworldly beings, the entire human race would have been wiped out and speaking theoretically; we are not qualified for the world assessment to begin with.’
After hearing the tribe leader’s words, Leo realized so many things that he didn’t understand previously.
‘However, the thing is, who does that voice belong to? They could open portals in a world like a bottle-opener opening the bottle caps.’
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ ‘The most important thing is, even the otherworld beings who referred to themselves as ‘Gods’ were scared of that voice. Who is he exactly? Is he a mighty being who got bored and wanted something interesting?’
‘Also, despite being scared of that voice, the otherworldly beings risked their lives to save us from the monsters during the pre-assessment and even helped establish the ‘Hall of Gods’ to awaken their talents. Why would they do it?’
Even though he realized answers to many things, it only raised more questions in his head than before; these questions were much more complicated.
