176 Chapter 176: Truth
“Claude Preston” the fairy answered and Rezen’s body trembled a bit
In his heart, he already guessed that the fairy was talking about Claude but guessing and proving it was still two entirely different things
No matter what, Claude was still a great help to Rezen. He is the person that he admired greatly
If possible, Rezen wants to continue having an amiable relationship with the cool brother but if Claude stops him from attaining his goal…
Rezen’s eyes darkened. No matter how much a help Claude was to him, this is still the revival of his parents
“Why? Why would he stop me?” He asks while clenching his fist tightly to the point that his veins popped
Just what exactly are the things that he doesn’t know?
Why does Claude ask him not to reach the 7th rank and why is the system telling him that Claude would stop him from reaching his goal?
“Because Claude Preston is the realm’s chosen, the person that the realm gives birth in order to kill the 7th rank mages leeching off the realm’s origin energy and take back the Blessed Land. Blessed Lands that are created by robbing the realm’s origin energy”
“As I said before, the 7th rank mages are putting the earth realm on the path of destruction and the realm will naturally try to stop that through the help of Claude. That is the reason why he was born, that is the destiny given to him”
“Master needs a significant amount of origin energy from the earth as not all origin energy is at the same level. That would further damage the vitality of the realm and would push the realm further into the path of destruction”
“The realm wouldn’t collapse in just a year or two but still, the required origin energy is significant and the realm’s chosen would mark Master as the biggest threat to the realm…”
These things are something that Rezen learned for the first time and he unconsciously closes his eyes to digest the information given to him
If ever a time that he has to fight Claude comes then… for the sake of his parents…
Rezen soon opened his eyes with a renewed resolve
“I want to gather enough origin energy as soon as possible. How do I do that?” Rezen inquired and the fairy nodded her head
“The answer is close to Master…” the fairy answered before turning her head in the direction where Greenwood City could be seen
“Are you saying…”
“Yes, that’s right, Master. The key for planar travel is in Greenwood City”
“What exactly does that mean”
“In the current era of the earth realm, to count the number of 7th rank mages that died, two hands might be more than enough. But the earth realm with broken laws has already endured several eras. Almost every time that an era ends, almost no 7th rank mage would survive. From what I know, the previous era ended because of the war between different paths of unorthodox magic. What happened back then, I’m also not completely aware but there should be more than a handful of 7th rank mages that died”
Rezen raised his brows, still not understanding everything
“Master already entered a Blessed Land once, right? The Blessed Land has no owner anymore but was still intact. That was because the Blessed Land is considered as the 7th rank mage’s personal possession. Even if the realm wants to take it back, it needed time”
“The birth of the realm’s chosen; Claude Preston is pivotal for the realm to recover. Claude would need all the power he could have. Since the 7th rank mages’ power comes from using the origin energy they stole as fuel to their power, they could also only be defeated using the same way”
“The realm’s chosen with the help of the realm could defeat and kill one or two 7th rank mages on his own but the more he killed, the more others would be wary to the point that they would gang up to kill him”
“The realm is currently gathering all the ownerless Blessed Land for Claude’s usage and the gathering point is none other than…”
The fairy trailed but Rezen already knew what she meant. The place where the Blessed Lands are gathering is definitely Greenwood City!
Now that Rezen thinks about it, Blessed Lands are rare. However, he once entered one Blessed Land located in Greenwood City. Claude also has the same experience as he too entered a Blessed Land that is located in Greenwood City too
To think that an average city is actually such a special place
Rezen’s eyes glowed with understanding before he halted. His eyes trembled as he thought of something
“Twighlight Beast… the Twighlight Beast. Did they attack Greenwood City because they know that it was the gathering point of the ownerless Blessed Lands?” Rezen questioned
The Twighlight Beast acts as if they simply want to obtain a territory for themselves but what if things are not that simple?
“You are right, Master. I can sense that there are people in the earth realm that are outsiders. They are not native to the realm but are stuck here. My hypothesis is that they have a goal similar to Master’s. They want to use the origin energy of a large number of Blessed Land to escape from this realm with broken laws!”
The fairy’s words echoed like a clap of thunder in Rezen’s mind. To think that his parents died for that reason and now, he has no choice but to do the same thing that the Twighlight Beast intended to do!
Life is really funny sometimes. It’ll make you confused about whether to laugh or cry at times
“Haaa… damn it” Rezen cursed while holding his face with his palm. He felt like things has become exceedingly complicated
“Master, don’t worry. With the help of the system, you could gather the required origin energy easier than the Twighlight Beast. Master only has to be wary of the realm’s chosen as he definitely would sense and try to stop Master. If we are going to rob the realm’s origin energy, we must do it all at once!”
“If it was any other people, the current farm could definitely hide Master from anyone. But it was different if the realm’s chosen is involved. There is no place on earth that Master could hide!”
From a person that Rezen admired and look up to, Claude has become a person that he must avoid at all costs. This was a twist that Rezen never thought he would experience
“Then, when could we gather the origin energy?”
“The Blessed Lands would fully gather approximately 3 months from now! In the meantime, it is suggested that Master gather as many mana stones and other resources as possible to nourish the farm”
In that, Rezen nodded his head. Since he would enter another realm, it was better to milk the earth realm for as much as he could
In here, Rezen is one of the strongest outside of the 7th rank mages. He also has Daydream backing him that would give almost every resource he wants in exchange for the recovery pills
However, once Rezen entered another realm, he would become a complete nobody. He would lose his backing and his power level might put him at the bottom of the barrel
One’s wealth is often equal to the strength that one possesses. The stronger a person is, the easier it could gather resources
Since Rezen has quite the strength and status in this realm, it would be better to take advantage of it
“Alright, I understand” Rezen nodded his head. As of right now, he has no need to fear even 7th rank mages
While he couldn’t defeat them, the farm could still hide him from them. In this realm, only Claude poses a threat to Rezen’s safety
However, as long as Rezen hasn’t robbed the origin energy of the realm yet, Claude would not turn hostile to him. As such, he could move more freely now
“And also Master, it’s better to spend time and say goodbye to your friends” the fairy spoke again and Rezen stared at her
“What do you mean?”
“With the current level of the farm, planar travel is an arduous task. It was not a simple thing to do and the system could only ensure that Master would be safe. The system can’t make sure that any other people could survive the planar travel”
That means Rezen is the only person that could escape from the earth realm. He has to leave Neil, Maze, the artificial humans, and even the orphans that he was starting to nourish to defeat the Twighlight Beast
Rezen didn’t expect that he has to escape from the realm before he could enact his revenge and complete his plans
Life really wouldn’t always go on the way a person has planned. It would always try to mess things up
