As soon as all the cultivators moved away from where Apollo was, the sky began to change color. Clouds started to gather, making Fallen Star Island dark. Only a few lightning bolts passing through the clouds illuminated Fallen Star Island.
Theo returned to the ark and stood beside Jka and the girls. What was strange was that Athena, Waru, Judith, and the rest of the most powerful cultivators on Planet Spirit were flying close to Theo's ark.
Lightning and thunder in the sky echoed from time to time. The audience was going through a whirlwind of emotions. Not only did they watch two epic battles, now they were about to watch something very rare: a cultivator going through the celestial tribulation of the Monarch Spiritual Realm. Just seeing the powerful lightning and thunder that formed in the sky made people's hearts tremble with fear.
Theo, on the other hand, was thinking of taking advantage of this if he had the chance. He believed that Apollo would not be upset if he used "Devour" on the last attack from the celestial tribulation. Although it was an ordeal that had to be passed to be able to ascend to the Monarch Spiritual Realm, if Theo only did this with the latter and returned only part of the attack, it would not affect Apollo.
Well, if he didn't take a chance like this, Theo wouldn't be Theo...
There were still 20 minutes to go before the first attack of the celestial tribulation took place. Precisely because of this, Waru and the rest were talking to each other while looking in the direction of the crater that was Apollo.
"Theo, do you know of the planetary battle?" Athena asked him suddenly.
"I have no idea what that is." Theo admitted not knowing.
Athena started to explain. "It is as follows: every 100 years, middle-class planets make a tournament between lower-class planets (in this case, our planet is a lower class planet) and whoever wins the planetary battle has the right to go and settle on a middle-class planet. Of course, normally, anyone can go to another planet but will be treated as an intruder and in more extreme cases, may even be killed or enslaved by the planet's guardians. Because of that, this tournament is so important."
"I understand, but why are you saying this now?" Theo asked, "Is it because it is close to happening?"
"Exactly. There are only 5 years left to go," Athena said strictly.
"Huh? 5 years? There is still a lot of time..." Theo frowned as he said this. He didn't think it was a short time. After all, he hadn't been on this planet for even 2 years. Theo strongly believed that he would stay at most 1 to 2 years on this planet.
"Long time? For us cultivators, this is not much time at all. There is very little time to prepare for the planetary battle. I also believe that until then, with your help and from Aomi, we would have a great chance of achieving victory for our planet." Athena looked incredulous at the claim that it was too long.
"It's not that I don't want to help you guys with it," Theo said, "but that is a long time for me. I will stay at most 1 to 2 years on this planet. After that, I intend to explore other higher planets."
Aomi beside him also nodded. Although it was not necessary to be on a higher planet to be able to climb cultivating, since Theo had the [Dimensional Room]. Still, it would be much faster if they went to a middle or upper-class planet.
"Theo, I think you are getting a little rushed here." It was Waru who spoke. She no longer had a smiling face and said to him with a serious expression, "Although it is rare for someone to be in the Monarch Spiritual Realm on our planet, on any other middle-class planet it is as common to have beings in the Monarch Spiritual Realm as to have living beings in the Spiritual Realm, if not even easier. In addition, there are living beings in the Venerable Spiritual Realm that are several times more powerful than Spiritual Monarchs. And last but not least, there are those in the Saint Spiritual Realm; they're basically gods. It wouldn't be a lie to say that destroying a low-class planet is as easy as crushing an ant for them."
"But are there living beings in the Saint Spiritual Realm on a middle-class planet?" Theo remembered that Isis was in Saint Realm. He wasn't sure if it would be the same as the Saint Spiritual Realm.
(Author: For those who may have forgotten Isis, she is the Void Cat that is cultivating within Theo's divine sea.)
"No. It's almost impossible to find one on a middle-class planet," Waru said, "but that does not mean that it is not dangerous. As Athena said earlier, on most middle-class planets that discover that an intruder has invaded the planet, you may end up dying or being enslaved, but if it is through the planetary battle, the living beings that win the planetary battle have the right to live on a middle-class planet."
"I understood the essence of what you're saying, but I still don't think I need to worry about it." Theo did not give many details. "If it is as you said, I am confident of arriving at the Monarch Spiritual Realm in less than 1 year while the Venerable Spiritual Realm... Well, I cannot say clearly, but I am confident that even though I'll be in the Monarch Spiritual Realm, I can possibly fight a cultivator in the Venerable Spiritual Realm."
They wanted to refute him and say that it was impossible since it is an immeasurable difference... But wasn't it the same for a cultivator who is in the Spiritual Realm to go up against someone in the Monarch Spiritual Realm? However, against Theo who was currently in the Spiritual Realm, the most powerful of this planet who was in the Monarch Spiritual Realm- didn't he become a punching bag in Theo's hands?
"Okay, I see it was our mistake to try to calculate your cultivation speed and power like other normal beings. But if by any chance you happen to still be on this planet, I hope I can count on your help." Athena gave up trying to convince him to stay and participate, but in her heart, she still hoped he would stay and help them.
"Okay, I promise," Theo agreed, and they didn't talk about it anymore. They didn't even try to approach Aomi, since it seemed that wherever Theo went she would go, and not the other way around.
"Theo, sit here with me." Mizuki went to the ark room and came back carrying a red sofa. She put it on the ark floor next to Theo and rested.
"Okay." The couch had space for 5 people. Theo sat next to Mizuki, as well as Little Yui and Little Emma as well. The other two places were occupied by Shina and Yuki.
"I'm going to get another couch..." Ariana murmured before entering the ark's cabin.
Aine and Nanda looked at each other and had a tactical agreement through rock-paper-scissors. It was decided that Nanda would get the sofa for them.
"Yes!" Aine celebrated her victory by making a peace sign toward Lilith, who rolled her eyes in response.
"Theo..." Mizuki murmured in his ear very quietly. "I'm thinking of doing something crazy..."
"Mhm?" Theo frowned; his heart sped up; he didn't know if the something crazy she referred to was the same as he was thinking.
"Hehe~ I'm just playing with you. Don't take me so seriously, silly." Mizuki chuckled as she whispered in his ear and squeezed her big b.r.e.a.s.ts into his body. She licked his ear gently and laughed again.
"Woman... Don't tease me..." Theo murmured in a hushed voice. He felt a part of his body go rigid due to Mizuki's taunts.
"Hahaha!" Mizuki stopped teasing him, walking away while laughing. As her b.r.e.a.s.ts were very big and as she was the type to laugh as her shoulders were shaking, her big b.r.e.a.s.ts started to swing, almost causing Theo to suffer nosebleeds.
