Chapter 2126. Exploring Decision

"So you want to just up and leave on an adventure because you think you need to travel there to awaken a skill? That's all?" Out of everyone to be reprimanding him, it was Su who had taken the lead when Walker had said this in front of the entire party at the dinner table.

He had called them all there to speak to them about the future.

His goal was to figure out just what the origin race was. What he was. He had to unlock the skills that came with that so he had to go to the elemental planes. He even knew that the origin race had traveled there. So, if he wanted to learn more, then he would need to take that risk.

"Su, he has a lot here too. But he isn't leaving forever. Just for a little while. The royal dragons are going to the elemental planes. So will I. I have to." Remey was a little more soft spoken than normal. It was the fact that she had no choice but to venture to the fire elemental plane.

"But you do not have a choice. You need to go there for your health. We understand that. But if Walker goes there just to search for this race that advanced beyond the others here... well, he might not come black after chasing them." Gil voiced his honest fear.

But this was the same for everyone. They all feared that they would be split up somehow. That they would be separated and never see one another again. The elemental planes were unknown and definitely vast. There was a chance that one could explore them for a lifetime. If not more.

"I need to go there for more than that." Walker was adamant. He believed that there were many reasons to explore the elemental planes.

"Their world, so to speak, had been different from ours. We were cut off from them for who knows how many hundreds if not thousands of years. Now that we are connected, to them, we should go there. They will be coming here."

This was a very real potential. The races or beings that levied within the elemental planes would surely venture outside now that the bridges between the world and the elemental planes had been rebuilt. Now that the proper mana flow had returned.

If the theory that some people had started to believe was correct, then the world was the middle ground for all the elemental planes. The place where every race or being from the planes could come together in unison. In equality. Therefore, making sure that those from the world understood the elemental planes was important.

"If we wish to understand everything about the universe and existence, we have to take that risk. If we were to ignore it and a threat appeared, we can't live up to what it means to be a hero. I assume there will be rulers of each elemental plane. There has to be, whether it be dragons or elemental spirits, something. We have to ensure that the effort we put together to unite all these races is upheld."

When they reached age, they would pull open the barriers between the light elemental plane and the world to travel there. They had the innate ability at a certain age to be able to achieve this. That was how they were able to continue their growth since they primarily lived off of light mana.

In turn, it meant that almost every single abyssal serpent would want to travel to the light elemental plane at some point. An important step for them. But it also meant that Onyx might encounter those that were his race but much stronger. Much older.

If that was the case, he would learn about his history, but he might also lose the position as patriarch who had brought back his race from the edge of the end. Or maybe, there was more to it. His race might not come to the world any more because of their mana requirements. He might have to remain as an elder of sorts.

This additional worry just added on to everything.

It made sense though. They all had many reasons for going to the elemental planes. The only ones without much reason to go were Su and Gil since they had no attachment to the elemental planes that called them there.

"You'll come too?" Midnight looked at Su, her face was curious. She knew that Su was her draconic champion. The one bonded with her to defend her.

"Well, if we are going together again. I might as well learn about the dragons too." She gave in easily.

"Brother Gil, it is up to you." Onyx filled Midnight's lead.

"It seems like I have no choice. But there are things I need to know first. Does time move the same there? Will I lose my time with Alma and the elves if I go? Can we get home if we go?"

This wasn't fear that spoke purely. Gil had a duty to the elves and a responsibility to the person he loved. He refused to let them all down.

"I'll get those answers for you." Walker made the promise and started to plan how he would do just that.
