Chapter 1070 Meeting

The Runic Gate opened in the Origin Expanse. However, it wasn't a normal Runic Gate.

The Runic Gate opening before Michael was almost ten meters high and six meters wide. It tore through the fabric of the Untamed Jungle and released a soothing energy. The energy was alive and wiggling wildly as it spread into the surroundings. It was almost like the Essence of the Nature Divinity. Only that it was much more pure and potent.

Michael frowned, but on the inside, he was glad that the War Rune didn't push him to the 10th Tier. He did not want to get expelled by the Will just yet.

'The Will...' Michael tilted his head, 'Why does this Runic Gate feel like an invitation?' Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He wasn't forced to enter the massive Runic Gate, but the War Rune pushed him forward while the Runic Gate tried to pull him closer. It was a request to come. Michael had no idea where he was invited to but the Runic Gate hardly gave Michael a chance. He had to enter.

Michael called out for the God Curses, but they were gone. The moment he accessed the War Rune, all connection with them had been cut. He tried turning around and calling out for others, but nobody was there.

'Should I use force?' He considered for a moment but shook his head. There was no need to use any violence. This is only an invitation to...some place. Maybe it is the Will. But why would the Will call for me? Does it want me to leave? No. The Will could have expelled me long ago. That can't be it. Is it about the upgrade to a Primal Region?'

Michael thought about it and hoped the Will would upgrade the Untamed Jungle to an Primal Region soon. Or maybe the Primal Essence inserted into the War Rune triggered something. What if it triggered the upgrade of the Untamed Jungle, and he had been postponing it by ignoring the War Rune's pleadings? 'That would be annoying. Please, don't let it be that. If I wasted our precious time because I didn't follow my gut feeling for once...'

Michael cursed inwardly and stepped through the Runic Gate. He expected to step out on solid ground, but the scenery changed drastically. He was suddenly high up in the air, thousands of kilometers above the ground, staring at the Origin Expanse.

"The Warlords achieved their goal. Or as the beings of the new era call them. The Lords. They achieved their goals." The words of the Will stirred something within him. Or was the Essence filling the air around him? Michael was not sure, but something changed...about him and the Untamed Jungle.

"The Primal are not yet dead. I'm growing stronger but I am not strong enough," Michael commented, but the Will ignored him.

"The Origin Expanse regained their four Primal Regions. It regained its former glory and expanded further than I've ever expected it to grow. All I've wanted was to weaken the Primal. Then, everything changed. The Beginning and the Massacre of the Origin occurred. I had to change my plans. I had to start anew. Plan the start of a new era. But all of this required time. Lots of time. Eons."

The Will looked at Michael. At least, he felt like the Will was looking at him.

"Why do you think you are not strong enough? Your territory is, by far, the greatest territory of all time. You are also the first to ever create an Ancient Region, conquer an Ancient Region, to form a bond of souls with a Primordial creature in the Origin Expanse, bond with a Region, create a Primal Region, and conquer a Primal Region. You achieved much more than anyone could dream of. Why do you think you're too weak to handle what awaits you?"

Michael had a lot to say, but he was too stunned by the realization. While he was up here in the sky, talking to the Will, his territory was changing. The Untamed Jungle. It...was growing stronger. His Links of Loyalty to every being in the Untamed Jungle were growing tighter and more intimate. The Untamed Jungle was just being upgraded to a Primal Region!

Still, Michael didn't feel strong enough. The strength within him was skyrocketing rapidly. His body would probably require months to finish adapting, but he was certain to feel inadequate even then. After all, he was barely strong enough to defeat the weakest Primal. Maybe he could fight the other Primals head-on now, but defeat and kill all of them simultaneously? He couldn't do that.

"Is it necessary for all of them to die?" "How else am I going to stop them? The Primal will keep coming if I don't grow stronger. They might be afraid now, but I'm still not strong enough to handle them once they dare to fight back."

"Is that so?" "Yes!"

"If you say soo..."
