Reincarnated as an Energy with a System Chapter 329: Will Of The World

"And what was the important task?" Ning asked as he looked at the many statues.

"To seal this place," one of the beasts spoke.

"Right, what exactly is this place?" Ning asked.

"It's a prison, human. A prison to hold one of the strongest evil creatures ever to exist on this planet," the Drake said.

Ning suddenly had an epiphany. He looked towards the coffin in the center and slowly asked, "Is that the coffin of that Legendary beast that was said to have killed you all? Is that where its corpse lies?"

"Yes."

"No."

Ning got multiple answers at once, each contradicting the other. The confusing ss resulted in Ning learning nothing.

"Umm… can you guys just let brother Drake talk, please? All of you talking at once is hard to understand," Ning said.

"I alone shall speak then, human," the drake's statue said. "That coffin is in fact keeping Jha'Akim, but it's not his corpse that lies in there."

"then what?" Ning asked. he wondered if it was perhaps just a Nascent soul that managed to barely escape away.

"No! Jha'Akim was never defeated. He's still alive," the drake said. "He's sealed inside that coffin right now."

"What? You guys didn't defeat him at all?" Ning asked in surprise. From what he rembered, Night's mories never had anything aside from the fact that the war favored the lone beast with the bloodline of many.

He rembered there being no end to the story, but because the world was safe and every information about that beast was gone, he had naturally assud that it was killed.

"So it never died," Ning asked. "How did you guys manage to seal it? I heard its cultivation base was close to if not in the Spirit Transformation realm."

"No, it was definitely in the Spirit Transformation realm. The Jha'Akim had found his way to the Origin that many were struggling to find and cultivated there for a while and entered the Spirit Transformation realm," the drake said.

"Sorry for changing the topic right now, but what is this Origin? I keep hearing it, but there is no information about it at all," Ning said.

"Origin as we call it is the place of origin for all Qi on the planet. It's the one location where Qi is created," the drake said. "Due to it being the origin, it has much higher Qi concentration than any other location."

"Hm… I had a suspicion. It's good to know that for sure though. Do you know where it is?" Ning asked.

"No. The ones that learned that Jha'Akim was cultivating in the Origin were killed before they could relay us the information of its whereabouts."

"However, we are sure that it was in the ocean for sure," the drake said.

"I see," Ning said. "Getting back on topic, how was he sealed exactly? Did you guys manage to overpower him in any way?"

"Yes," the drake said. "It's a little underhanded, but we found him alone when he was breaking through and brought him here before sealing him."

"You didn't kill him when you had the chance?" Ning asked.

"That was impossible. His body is stronger than anything we've seen before. It would have been impossible to kill him."

"We saw no other choice at that ti, and we bet it all on the humans that were favored by the planet and ca here with all of our people to seal Jha'Akim," the drake said.

"What do you an by the humans are favored by the planet? Can you explain?" Ning asked.

"It's… I'm not sure how much of this is true since it's sothing I've learned from my mories, our mories, but it says that the planet has a will too. All of them do. It's an amount not enough to call the planet conscious, but there is definitely so form of cosmic will that a planet has. "

"Most planets that don't want life on them do whatever they can to stay barren and unpopulated. Those that do are the ones that want life."

"And of that, the planets also start biasing over which life they like more. Our planet previously preferred to have every beast among them."

"But slowly, once the humans erged, the planet's preferences changed. It started favoring the humans, and slowly the beasts got weaker."

"The wound on the planet didn't help either. Soon, humans were starting to get as strong as beasts," the drake said.

"Wait, humans were that strong during the age of beasts too?" Ning asked.

"Yes. They were little in amount, but due to the planet's favor, the humans were getting stronger and stronger," the drake said.

"And yet, it was Jha'Akim that nearly destroyed you all, huh?" Ning asked.

"I don't believe that is by any coincidence either," the Drake said.

Ning was confused now. "Sorry, what do you an?" he asked.

"It was not a coincidence that Jha'Akim was so strong," the drake said. "After all, he was a humanoid beast too."

"What?" Ning was surprised. "That beast was humanoid?"

"It's would be incorrect to call Jha'Akim a beast. He was many, but he was none. Jha'Akim was in fact a half-beast, half-human, born to a low leveled beast after a human copulated with it."

"From a young age, Jha'Akim was said to walk on two legs. Being half of both, he was ostracized from both the beasts and the humans. That was what we believe to be the reason he went to war against the world," the Drake said.

The new information he was getting made Ning more and more surprised. The beasts he thought were extinct were alive, Jha'Akim was alive, the Origin was revealed to him, he learned that the planet had a pseudo-will, and now he was learning that Jha'Akim was in fact born between a man and a beast.

"Wait, wait, wait," Ning paused for a mont. "Sothing doesn't make sense here."

"What doesn't?" the Drake asked.

"Wasn't Jha'Akim born with the blood of many legendary beasts? But you said he was born to a lowly beast," Ning asked.

"Ah, right. No, Jha'Akim was not born with the blood of the legendary beasts. However he did have the blood of the legendary beasts, all thanks to his powers," the drake said.

"His powers?" Ning asked.

"Yes. Jha'Akim had the power to devour blood of his enemies and integrate their bloodline onto himself."
