Chapter 223 - 223.Making Palcca suffer, just tiny bit...

They heard that kind of thing before. Their sudden stop made him confused. ''Ugh. What is it?''

Isaa turned around and saw again the now flimsy youth with a smile. ''How do you gather Godly points and can they acc.u.mulate before that?''

Both of them had an idea about Godly points before. Last time when they went to their space there was a sect dedicated to the  Great Kaia. But next to her stood one more for Isaa as well. So they were curious as to if that has any use.

After hearing their story Palcca just stood there completely dumbfounded. He shook his head to clear his mind but they still stood there and stared at him with a serious expression. ''You two have no idea what you just said right?''

They just looked at each other and shrugged. ''What? Why?''

He held his head and sighed. ''It seems you really don't know. Yes... the Godly points can be acc.u.mulated. When did that worshiping started?''

Isaa recounted. ''If we take the timeline. Dozen or so years? Kendra?''

Kendra shook her head. ''More. You know they started with worshiping places even before I went first time into the cultivation room. You know after that thing happened.''

''Then about twenty or something years ago. Why?'' Isaa blinked at him.

''What world are you from? Tenth right?'' He recounted something in his head and smiled. ''In that case, the Godly points are pure worship and count as quite a lot. You now Gods are the same as other cultivators, only in a higher realm. The only difference is that they can use Godly points that they acc.u.mulate to exchange for knowledge and cultivation points.''

Cultivation points? What is that? Question marks could be almost seen over their heads.

He sighed looking at their blank expressions and curious faces. ''Cultivation points are something amazing. You know power stones?'' He could see both of them nodding simultaneously. ''Cultivation points are similar. You get a stone plate filled with cultivation points that you can use in the higher echelon. But, to get even one point you have to exchange one thousand Godly points. But to get Godly points there have to be tens of thousands of people praying to you. On top of that, you have to appear from time to time in that world and rule them sometimes. It is not like you can use that world and leave it as you wish. After a while, the people would lose their belief and you will stop getting Godly points.''

Kendra nodded. ''Then explain to me what is difference between Gods and Grounding Fairies and is there only grounding fairy on higher echelon?''

He shook his head. ''Of course not. There are Wavers of Time, Destiny Makers, Ying Yang Sect, Producer of Space Web, Creators of Light and Darkness and many more. There are many new that I am not certain of. Before all this happened I was in the cultivation room for a long time and realized that my words have forgotten me, so I wanted to go to a couple of new worlds and make myself present so I could gather some Godly points.''

Isaa snorted. ''You plan to help us, but at the same time, you have not even done your job. By the way, you asked about this space right?''

He could see both of them already walking away so he rushed after then, stumbling around. 

''This is a world that one of the grounding fairies made. In this world accept herself and Taskmaster, no one else has powers. Well, us excluded. We finished our tasks on time and were given a permission to keep the powers until the first boundary. I am sure they left some powers for you as well, you are after all in our sect. Or did Taskmaster block all your powers?'' The two girls glanced at him while he had a complicated expression.

''I can feel some power inside me, but it is strange. I cant use it.'' He was clearly confused.

Kendra looked at one of the flowers she found on ground and then continued walking. ''Its because you have to gather energy. The only time you can do that is by cultivating in the mornings and evenings. Like everyone else.''

''What? Now spirit veins?'' The girls shook their heads and made him almost stumble. ''Power stones?'' 

''Nope.'' Isaa had no time to talk as the slope of the mountain became a bit more complicated. Looking at his leisurely walking she shook her head. ''I forgot to tell you. Here all cultivators are humans. If you are not careful, you can die. Then you can forget all that time you cultivated and grew your powers. It is wasted.''

He slipped and scratched his hand. A few drops of blood appeared and pain could be felt making him get a new feeling. Fear. Real fear. His eyes shook as he showed them the scratch while they showed them callouses on their hands.

''Why do your hands look like that?'' He stared at their palms.

''Since we came here we had to work hard to survive and finish our tasks. Do you think this world is fun? Wait until we come back home. You will then know what this world is really about.'' Isaa saw Kendra turning back to the slope and slowly crawling down while holding onto branches, stone sand dried branches. 

Indeed. They really had to climb down as the slope became dangerously steep. But it was just a dozen meters down. Isaa could see Palcca eyeing the hight and she yelled at him. 

''Idiot. '' This man is stupid really, thought Isaa. ''If you jump from there the least what could happen to your body is to break your bones. Do you think the human body and cultivators bodies are the same? No. They are not. This hight can literally hurt you badly. As we have now two weak bodies what can we do with you?''

''Heal me?'' He just shrugged it off. But stopped as he heard Kendra's voice.

''We are not healers.'' That meant they have no light energy to save his life. But wouldn't he die anyway when he try to climb down as well?

The girls were already down in safety and he could hear Isaa yelling. ''We can see from here everything. Just do as we did and turn around. Then you can use your hands and feet to slowly climb down. We will help you.''

What else could he do? Being stubborn wouldn't help him at all. Actually, girls already knew if they walked a bit further they could just walk down normally. But they choose this place to make him realize that this world is not so simple. 

Step by step they guided him and when he came down his hands and feet shook so much from fear and overuse that he just had to sit down first. Kendra looked around and smiled brightly. Young wild onion sprouts were everywhere. Not only that, mushrooms, salads, and as it seems peas could be seen in the bushes. She poped one of the pea pods and saw neatly struck round peas, ready to be used.

''Isaa, we have today pea soup as it seems. Palcca go with Isaa and gather some dry branches. I will cook some food now. '' Kendra gave orders while she carefully took one of the bags from side of her backpack. She slowly started gathering the pods. Turning around the corner of of of stone that fell of the mountain, she saw the whole field filled with the peas and was stunned by the sight. this is amazing. The whole village can eat peas. Not only that, they could dry them and make many delicious things with peas.

Her delightful face and big smile were seen by the two people that just returned. Of course, Palcca couldn't understand her excitement. He was senior God for a long time, so he completely forgot the delight of eating food. 

Isaa saw his confused expression and just pushed him with his hand. ''You are now human. As one you need to eat, drink and go to privy.''

Then he remembered his youth suddenly and stared at her. ''Is that even possible? I didn't eat, drink or use private rooms for thousands of years. I am a senior God. How...'' Suddenly rumbling sounds could be heard from his stomach. Like a growling bear. He felt strange discomfort and looked at her in astonishment. ''What was this?''

Isaa shrugged. ''It could mean two things. One is you are hungry, then your pain will be higher, under ribs. The second you need to run and go to do what you have to do, then the pain will be lower, on your bottom. So wich pain is it?''

He held his stomach while thinking about her direct words and turned red, but still answered like an obedient child. ''It is high pain.''

''Of course, it is. ''Kendra came back and looked at him. ''You didn't eat with us and from nothing, nothing can come. How could you have anything in your tummy if you didn't eat for a thousand years? Now your body will get used to a new situation. Come, eat with us o the pain will become bigger, you can faint and even die. Your choice tho.''

Palcca just sat down and stared at the two women that quickly took out a small pot and started cooking. It took the time of course so the longer he waited for the bigger pain he had in his belly. But when he thought that he will die from pain a bowl with pea stew appeared straight in front of his face and Isaa's voice could be heard. ''Eat this slowly. It's hot.''

He first tasted the peas but as soon the food entered his body he could feel the pain subduing and taste of food spreading over his tongue. Long forgotten pleasure of eating food appeared again and he started eating faster and faster. Suddenly he hid the bottom of the bowl and looked at them with a grievance. 

Kendra could see his expression but shook her head. ''Let your body get used to food again. If you overeat you will puke. then that pain of yours will come back. Tell me do you still feel the pain?'' 

He shook his head realizing that he was just gluttonous for a second. He really ate his fill. He smiled contently at the two. ''Thank you.''

Kendra suddenly smiled at him and gave him longs tare. '' Nothing is free and you know it...'' Somehow he suddenly felt that his existence was in danger. Why does this child look so scary suddenly?
