The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1626 Food For Thought

The Elder laughed at Karlʼs analysis of the situation.

”Well, at least one of them is taking this seriously.”

For a moment, he seriously considered telling her that he wasnʼt joking about the cat considering her daughter as his pet. But decided that it would be better if the situation sorted itself out naturally.

Shade had a space to store his Elf in now, so it was nearly as good as being the one in charge of the situation.

”Well, if thatʼs all settled, then I should be getting back to my apartment. There are people waiting for me to finish with my morning routine and join them for breakfast.”

The Elder nodded. ”I take it that you have a proficient Mystic Cook among your team members, as you call the beasts? I donʼt see you headed to the dining hall often.”

”I do. Itʼs simply more efficient to eat at home most of the time. We only really come out when there is something that we want to do, or a major event about to start that we should find a group for in advance.”

”You can post up on the boards for that. Youʼre top of the Spirit Immortal Rankings, and you havenʼt fought a match to put you on the Void Immortal board yet, so it shouldnʼt be too difficult for you to find Clan Members to go with you wherever you need to be to find your next resource.”

”You have a good point. We havenʼt been heading out of the Clan Compound much, only for that one mission, and the Dungeon trip.

Now that most of my group is stabilized at the Immortal Spirit level, we should start heading out and experiencing more of the world.”

The Elder smiled at him. ”Well, I would suggest that you start close to home. There are a number of randomly appearing hidden spaces in the wilderness nearby, and this world is vastly larger than anything you might have experienced in the Mortal world.”

”How so?”

”The size of the continent, for one. The planet itself has nearly ten times the diameter of a Mortal Realm world of the same gravity.

When everything can travel as fast as Immortals do, most of the Realms are created to be very large, reducing the impact of condensed populations.

For example, there is an inland sea northwest of us that is nearly six thousand kilometres across.

And that is still considered to be in the far southeast of the continent.”

Karl whistled in appreciation. ”Leo will love that. We will have to visit at some point.”

”It would be a great spot for him, I think. There are a lot of water element enemies and resources, both in and around the lake. So, itʼs certainly worth exploring if you are bonded to a water element beast like the little turtle.”

”Are there any other hotspots to consider, or places that I should avoid?”

”If youʼre staying in the immediate vicinity, say within five hundred kilometres, there isnʼt much to be concerned about.

There are only two major cities in the region. Condim and Cacheirinha. Both of them are neutral to friendly with the New Home Clan most of the time, and there arenʼt any major dungeons or trials in the region, just the unstable hidden realms and other separate spaces that appear at random all over the continent.”

”Is that a regular thing in the Immortal Realms?”

The Elder laughed and patted him on the shoulder. ”If only you knew. You see, when an Immortal dies, their essence vanishes, and their spells dissolve. But separate spaces are different.

Theyʼre somewhat stable on their own.

So, when the one who created them dies, they simply drift aimlessly around the realm.

Some remain in one spot and phase in and out of contact with reality, others appear wherever they want.

This place has existed for millions of years, and the death toll is in the trillions of Immortals. The pure number of separate spaces that exist in the Immortal Realms ensures that even if each of them would only appear once in a millennium, seeing such a space is not at all uncommon.”

”Put like that, I suppose that it does make sense. I was told by an Immortal in my old home that developing a separate space is an essential part of becoming an Immortal.”

The Elderʼs eyes sharpened. ”Thatʼs an interesting take on it. I donʼt suppose that he said more about it?”

Karl shook his head. ”No. It was just a casual remark while we were having dinner. He seemed quite certain that it was necessary, though. Something about Immortals needing to create their own space and territory.”

The Elder smiled and nodded. ”Ah, one of the old ones, then.

You see, there was a time when it was all the rage for every powerful Immortal to make a new Immortal World of their own and populate it. Some believed that it helped to reach Supremacy, others simply wanted to rule over others. But what they eventually found was that it was very isolating for the most powerful Immortals to spend all their time in a separate world.

So, while there are billions of Immortal Worlds, most of them were abandoned by their creators.

They exist in a perpetual state of limbo. There are Immortals who grow their entire lives there, strive for the peak, and often leave, without realizing that the world they live on was the result of someone else attempting to do the same

thing they are.

Itʼs an odd thing, really.

I canʼt say whether it works or not. I havenʼt reached the peak of Immortality quite yet, and I havenʼt tried making my own world. However, I have read enough history to know that many of the Legends of the past had their own worlds, created when such a thing was fashionable.”

Karl laughed. ”I wonʼt argue against that. The appeal of having your own world full of followers has a certain appeal to it. Though, I suppose that might actually be an advantage for those aiming for Divinity.”

The Elder looked shocked. ”You know, I think that you are right. For Immortals,

itʼs largely vanity. But the easiest way to build Divinity is through worship of a Legend. If theyʼre the only Legend known to their world, wouldnʼt that make it

easier for them to keep them loyal?

Though, I would assume that there are limits to it, or more of the Legends would have become Demigods.”

Karl shrugged. ”Food for thought, anyhow. Enjoy your morning.”
