"Hmm..." Kent smiled as he read the message after choosing to align himself with the Red Bone Chaos Tribe. He would be a clown not to accept such an offer when they weren’t asking him to win, but merely to represent them.
That meant that even if he failed the trial, they wouldn’t impose any penalty.
However, they had also sensed his desire to leave this place, so they offered him a chance to try his luck. Now, he knew he had no choice but to handle his end of the bargain, even if, during the 50-year period, he found a way to return to his universe.
He had more than enough time to handle everything else.
’This is a golden opportunity. I’d better not waste it.’
"Now that we have entered something akin to a contract, I will introduce myself..." the woman said, drawing Kent’s attention back to her.
"My name is Jyoti Lata. I am a True Eternal and the leader of the Red Bone Chaos Tribe."
Kent furrowed his brow upon hearing an unfamiliar term. "Hold on a minute, Lady Jyoti Lata. Is True Eternal the next cultivation stage after Primordial, or is it a title?"
When he had walked out of the prison, the giants he encountered had referred to themselves as Primordial Kings. At the time, he hadn’t paid much attention to it, assuming it was insignificant.
Now that Jyoti Lata had mentioned something entirely new, he couldn’t help but ask.
She smiled and replied, "It is the next stage, Kent Madson. The Primordial Stage may seem like the peak to you, but to us, it is merely the beginning."
"Can you elaborate further?" Kent asked, sensing that something monumental was about to be revealed.
"Why not?" She raised her right hand and held up a single finger. "In this world, every child is born a Demigod. By the age of five to ten, they bee Gods. Then, before they turn fifteen, they are expected to bee Supremes.
Most people bee Celestials by the age of forty, sometimes even earlier, and by the time they reach one hundred, they should have entered the Early Primordial Stage. To us, that is when one es of age, and it is also when true cultivation truly begins.
From there, one advances from Early Primordial to Real Primordial, then True Primordial. After that e King, Emperor, Monarch, Lord, and finally God, in that order.
Only after reaching that point does one step into the Eternal Realm. The stages are Early Eternal, Real Eternal, and True Eternal.
As for me..." she smiled faintly, "...I am currently at the True Eternal Stage."
Kent was left stunned, unsure how to process everything he had just heard. His mind simply refused to accept the fact that even a newborn baby in this world possessed a cultivation realm higher than his own.
"Just what kind of world is this... and why has no one in my universe ever heard of it?"
The people in the room laughed.
"This is a world where the rules were written by the Chaos Ascension King. paring it to your own is a great insult to our ruler."
"I apologize for that. It’s just that I never expected this world to have such a mind-bending cultivation system. It’s like I’m seeing everything for the very first time."
"It is only natural. To us, however, this is simply life."
"I can see that now. But aside from the Eternal Stage, are there other realms beyond it?" Kent asked. Even if she chose not to answer, he had already gained invaluable insight into what lay beyond the Primordial Stage.
"Above the Eternal Stage are the Universe King, Universe Lord, and Universe God realms. Each of these realms has nine minor stages known as Universe Tiers. For example, one can be a Tier 1 or Tier 9 Universe King.
"Here, once you reach the Tier 1 Universe King realm, you will be sent into the Primordial Chaos, as this world can no longer help you grow."
Kent took a deep breath and nodded. "Thank you for revealing this to me. I will do my best to cultivate harder and perform even better during the Chaos Ascension King Trial."
The others then introduced themselves, allowing Kent to better understand the group’s hierarchy. The two who appeared younger and much smaller pared to the giants were both Eternals.
However, Jyoti Lata was a True Eternal, while the other, Ragini Disha, was a Real Eternal, one stage below Jyoti Lata.
After the introductions, they asked Kent what he needed.
Kent, naturally, intended to make full use of this opportunity, so he listed over a thousand resources that would help him increase the number of cores and awaken the Third Blood Gate, allowing him to form his third Blood Core and subsequent ones.
He also planned to form his Ice Core, perhaps even more than one, along with his Lightning Core. In addition, he intended to create more Chaos Hearts and, most importantly, temper his body so it could withstand the burden of wielding multiple cores simultaneously in battle.
Lastly, he wanted to temper his Divine Sword Energy to its next realm—the Extreme Stage. His only hope was that by the time he returned, the Genesis Sword Dao petition, which he needed to win to ascend to the realm of Sword Legend, would not have ended.
After all, he would be cultivating here for fifty years.
To Kent’s astonishment, after hearing his lengthy list of requests, Jyoti Lata simply replied, "Okay," and assured him that everything would be prepared within an hour.
She then casually added that if he needed anything else, he only had to ask, and someone would provide it.
For a brief moment, Kent wished he could return to this place whenever he wanted.
However, he knew there was no guarantee he would ever leave this world alive, so all he could do was focus on making the most of the opportunity before him.
That said, he also planned to bring back some of the world’s unique ores and minerals for blacksmithing. A world where Primordials were treated the same way Celestials were in the Infinity Universe was bound to possess extraordinary treasures.
An hour later, he was escorted to a cultivation ground where every single item he had requested had already been gathered. There were even numerous treasures he had never asked for.
"You may stay here for the duration of your cultivation. If you need anything, simply let us know, and we will provide it," Kwame, the Primordial God who had found him unconscious and brought him to the Red Bone Chaos Tribe, said after leading Kent into the vast training ground.
"Thank you, Senior. I’ll let you know if I need anything."
Kent walked inside. After spending an entire day organizing everything and devising a prehensive cultivation plan, he finally began his secluded cultivation.
He planned to first form a second Chaos Heart, followed by an Ice Core and a Lightning Core. After that, he would move on to forming another Evil Core.
To his surprise, the Red Bone Chaos Tribe had actually managed to gather treasures overflowing with resentment and death energy. More importantly, they had provided over a hundred treasures that contained pure True Evil Qi.
With resources like these, Kent intended to forge even more cores.
Once he had filled the first two Blood Gates with the various elemental and special cores, if time still remained, he would awaken the Third Blood Gate and continue expanding his arsenal even further.
Time soon passed...
