Chapter 1029: CHAPTER 998 SCHOLARS
Shadowslash could enter Time World without any drawbacks in his life force, when he got inside, he was given a great shock, multiple structures that didn’t exist before are now present everywhere.
The races are now much more advanced even compared to the Thousand Race Empire, unfortunately, this world contains certain laws that would kick out any Saints that were present inside.
Unless Shadowslash accompanied the said Saint or has his imprint on their soul, this world would automatically kick out any Saints.
This world is already considered a miraculous dimension because of its law of time but also because of this, it would never be complete and forever be a mid grade world but it could continue to expand as long as it is inside Gaia.
Shadowslash asks Leafinia who was beside him “Is there any conflict that occurs frequently in this world?”
Leafinia sighed “Sadly yes, other than the main continent which is named after you, the rest of the new continents are actually fighting amongst each other.”
Hearing this, he also sighed but he understood that this type of situation would certainly happen since most intelligent beings are rather greedy and wanted to continuously expand their influence and power.
.....
He asks “So which power is considered the dominant ones in this world?”
“The Human Race, they are the most advanced in terms of technology and cultivation in this world, they had already built multiple kingdoms around this world.”
“The strongest one amongst them is called the Heavenly Descendant Empire.”
Shadowslash raised his eyebrow and asked “Why is their empire called that way?”
“It’s because they are the descendents of the first humans that big brother sent here, they had developed quite well and now had considerable prestige and control on Shadowslash Continent.” She smiled faintly as she answered.
She really likes hearing how other people worship her big brother, she has a sense of accomplishment upon hearing them.
“That is strange, I thought that either you or Sans would have total control over this world.” Shadowslash knew that Sans left some undeads on this world.
He also knows that Leafinia is raising her Treant Army in this world, they would certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
“The undeads are now being enslaved by the necromancers of this world, Sans doesn’t do anything about this and just let those necromancers prosper.” This made him confused.
Leafinia giggles “Of course Sans would let them, after all, all of the necromancers that had subdued the undeads he sent to this world would forever be enslaved under his control, once they reach Sainthood, they would definitely be a great addition to his army.”
Shadowslash also chuckles, he finally understood his brother’s plan and he couldn’t help but admire him.
“The undeads might have become a bait for Sans but what about your Treants, why didn’t they become the ruling power of this world?”
Leafinia then brought him to a large island that is covered with whirlpools, around the island, dense fogs could be seen, it covers the entire island making it difficult to spot it.
Not only that, the sea that surrounds the island is quite stormy, there are also multiple marine beasts that have all evolved into Fierce Beasts.
“This is the island of my Treants, it is too secluded and dangerous for anyone to enter and also, I had captured some monsters from Dragon and Elemental Sanctuary and released them on this island.” Shadowslash couldn’t help but pity any foolish individual that dares to approach this place.
They then went to the continent named after him and arrived at a city filled with multiple structures that look like they belong to a much more advanced civilization than those from the Cultivation Universe.
He descended gracefully, his presence startled everyone, when they saw who it was, they were given a great shock, instantly no matter whether it was an adult or a child, all of them kneel to him.
He waves his hand indicating that they could stand, he then teleports in front of a giant institute, the security system didn’t activate because of his powerful divine sense.
He spoke the names of the scholars that are present inside, because of the popularity of the items and technology that they had brought, the numbers of scholars that are currently inside Time World had multiplied.
Quickly, every one of them came out and they were shocked by his presence, Shadowslash’s sharp eyes and keen divine sense noticed something and he couldn’t help but look at Leafinia “You turned them into half elves?”
She nodded “Human ingenuity is truly terrifying, I only transformed them into half elves after they reach a certain age.”
“Even though becoming one doesn’t decrease their intelligence, my instinct tells me that them being pure humans are the reason why they had developed this fast.”
Shadowslash laughs when he hears this “Humans are the greediest and most destructive race of this universe, their greed is unbounded and their malice sometimes surpassed that of the demon race.”
“But, they are also the race that has infinite potential, they would definitely try their best to become the strongest.”
Leafinia nodded, during her stay on Golden Elf World, she encountered multiple human slaves and saw the wars amongst worlds, the seemingly weak race once united are truly terrifying.
Shadowslash asks her “Humans are quite a vulnerable race but they compensate for these weaknesses of theirs in multiple ways or with varying methods but their greatest weakness is what?”
Leafinia smiled as she knew the answer to this question “Their greatest enemies are actually themselves, if they are truly united then even the divine race would fear them but because of their nature to betray each other, they could be controlled.”
Shadowslash chuckles upon hearing this, he was a bit surprised that his sweet sister knew this but remembering that she was in charge of Gaia during his absence and the fact that she is an extremely intelligent individual, it is no longer surprising.
He then enters the institution under the lead of the scholars, they are all looking at him with fanaticism.
One of the half elves spoke “My lord, I just have to say this but you are my greatest inspiration, while we are still in the process of building flying ships, you on the other hand were busy building worlds!”
Hearing this, the other scholars started speaking, Leafinia started frowning as she dislikes seeing the subjects of their empire flocking around her big brother.
Shadowslash was flattered, he then said “You guys have also done so many amazing things, how about this, focus on building weapons that could be equipped by both cultivators and mages.”
He then thought about the weapons in his first world and suggested “How about a range weapon that could absorb energy from Mana cores and spirit stones.”
“With added elemental energy, we would obtain weapons of mass destruction that almost everyone would be capable of wielding.”
Best
The scholars froze, they then thought about such an idea and they quickly became excited, some of them even wanted to leave and start experimenting immediately.
Shadowslash had to stop them using his divine sense, he looks at their stunned expression and explains “I have come here to give everyone a reward.”
The scholars shook their heads, before they could refuse politely, he continued speaking “I know that none of you wants any material rewards, you only wanted to contribute to our great empire.”
“But because of this, I know in my heart that all of you are deserving of reward, something that could be glorified for millennia to come.”
Everyone looks at him with a curious expression, they seemed to want to know what type of reward that could represent eternal glory for them.
“I have decided to put your names on every book that relates to your research or have connections to your discovery, also your statues would be built in each and every academy in Gaia and even in Safehaven Paradise! Those who dare desecrate them would be going against our great empire!” The scholars trembled.
Soldiers that had done meritorious deeds are given honor by the Thousand Race Empire but scholars were only put in some small books.
This is exactly the reason why everyone was currently in this world, because they wanted to raise the status of their occupation, Shadowslash doing this would make them achieve their goal.
They felt tearing up, after a small celebration, Shadowslash left knowing that the scholars would probably want to continue their research, especially after he gave them the idea of building energy blasters.
Once they returned back to Gaia, Shadowslash instantly started mobilizing the entire army to clear the invasion in the surrounding worlds.
He is now fully intent to develop more worlds, Safehaven Paradise has limitations, they need a whole world core to become a true world, he decided to take the cores of the invaded worlds and fuse them with the worlds connected to his domain.
