Chapter 1647: Six Years
Chapter 1647: Six Years
The very thought of leaving his current situation and move to Divine realms is something that intrigued Sam to no end.
But with the way things operate here, all he can do is just suck it up and move along with the rest of the situation. As he was thinking and grinding his teeth against the rules of the competition, Demon Soul Swordsman finally made his appearance.
"It hasn't been that long since you left this place. Why are you here already after defeating a really tough opponent? You should have stayed there at home and relaxed a bit."
"I was planning to do that. But I don't have a choice. I need to start working right away. I am here for that reason only."
"What do you want?"
"Is there any event that is going to happen in the next six years? It should be big and important enough to even impact the Grey circle. Do you know anything about it?"
"Six years? That is way too far away for me to care too much about it, so I don't have any ready-made info on that. But as far as I know there is nothing of that sorts. Why do you ask?"
Sam went on explain his speculations and said.
"I asked Gail about it and he said that there is someone from your generation of Grey circle members that has a possibility of knowing what is going to happen. Do you know who he is?"
"Did he say anything specific about that person?"
Demon Soul Swordsman asked with a frown.
"Nothing much. Just that only you have a chance of knowing that person. That is it."
Demon Soul Swordsman nodded and said.
"Then there is indeed an old man like that. But I highly doubt we would be able to find him any time soon and even if by any chance you find his approximate location, you would still be unable to meet him.
He only meets people that he wants to meet. He is way too eccentric. I suggest that you don't hope much."
"I would appreciate it, if you try to find him. I would really like some information about that. It is related to the next task that the gods are giving us. I don't want to dive in without knowing as much information about it as possible."
"Why are those cunts not revealing information prior to the task? They have the thought to tell you about it six years before, then why leave you guys hanging with this half assed information?"
"I don't know. I wish I could find that answer too."
"Anyway, I will try to get the information you need. I will keep in touch with you."
"If you don't mind, you can contact the dusk directly. I don't know where I would be for the next few years. I will be moving around. Boys are also coming with me to train. So, we might not have a single location that we would stay at.
But we will definitely back to Desolate once in a while just to check some things out.
So, if you can leave the info at our headquarters that would be great.
There is a space gate connecting Gaja clan to the Dusk, so you can use that."
"Sure thing. I will do that then. All the best for your training. You can come for me to get any help anytime you want."
Sam went back to the Desolate after meeting Giyon, Grivon and Jyon one last time. Even though he was not very keen on it, he still asked them if they want to join in on the training since Philip wanted it.
He was sure that they wouldn't agree, but to his surprise, they are very eager. Not just Giyon and Grivon, but even Jyon was ready.
"I thought you were not interested in combat and strength."
"No, but I am interested in freedom and in this world, strength gives us freedom. Don't you agree?"
"Of course, it is surprising that you agree with this philosophy."
Sam just cut the conversation off like that and left. When they reached the desolate the trio is pretty excited. Six years of long ass training. They knew that Sam is not going to go easy on them, but they also know that growth is going to be rapid.
They are very much looking forward to it and with the addition of three more people into the mix, they couldn't feel more excited about this.
As soon as Sam came, he started drafting up a training plan. But it is not for a long time, just a full packed training schedule for the three months. He decided that he would draft up another one after those three months.
And in those three months, the three siblings understood a whole different side of Sam.
He trained like a maniac. The constraints he put on himself while battling various creatures across the realms, the targets he set for himself, are scary.
His schedule is three times harder than the siblings and twice as harder as the trio's.
But what surprised them even more is the trio's zeal to out do themselves. The competition within the three of them is so intense that the siblings thought they would come to blows any moment.
That didn't happen, but it looked like a very clear possibility.
Soon they realized that Sam and trio might even be closer than the siblings themselves. They have such clear trust within themselves that made them feel a bit ashamed.
And in these three months, they saw Sam training until he fainted without a worry. All because his friends are around him. He didn't dare to even take some rest back at Gaja clan, even though they repeatedly assured his safety.
A guy who is so paranoid and thinks way too much about the possible problems and creates all kinds of backup plans, didn't think twice before fainting in the middle of a forest that has beasts that could kill them any moment.
The first three months went by in a flash and Sam came up with a new training plan for another three months, which is obviously much tougher and exhaustive.
And soon this turned into a pattern.
Every three months, they came back to desolate and created a training plan before they went away and came back after another three months.
There is not much rest and of course in the middle of it all, there are some enemies that Sam had to deal with.
Just like Gail predicted, there are some powers that came after the Gaja clan and they are pretty adamant.
Some of the organizations are even after Saran's children once again and they wholeheartedly believed that they will make it big as long as Gail, Gamin and Yuvana are not present here.
They trusted that they will get lucky and capture those kids.
But no matter how much they tried, Sam didn't let that happen.
In just one year, he killed over three hundred people who came for the kids and one of them is a clan that is just below the power of Gaja clan.
It is one of the clan that sided with the Mari clan and asked for truce when Gaja clan rose in power again, but it seems like the departure of the three powerhouses made them grow some balls.
Of course, Sam cut them all off immediately, but it wasn't enough scare everyone. The people that are trying just kept on increasing.
But Sam didn't complain, he just used that as a training opportunity as well.
And slowly, these six years have passed.
In these six years, they killed hundreds of people if not thousands, destroyed dozens of organizations, increased in cultivation levels crazily. Went across the realms to find rare treasures and resources, expanded the Dusk organization into a few dozen new realms, conquered previously existing powers that clashed with him.
The expansion of Dusk was on its full swing and particularly when one member after another from Sam's team also trained like terrorists and reached peak stage, the strength of the Dusk went through the roof.
Since they already started it, the manufacturing of carriers, water towers, and sky towers became a norm. Of course, they didn't use them. They were just deployed to act as detrimental objects for the enemies.
Along with that, there is another thing that has rapid progress and that is Sam's research.
His research into the cube technology that was left behind by the Demon Shadow Swordsman and the creation of a very special weapon that he himself was researching, and on top of all that, the combination of both.
By the end of six years, he was pretty satisfied with the results he had. He reached the target cultivation level, his friends reached the target level right after that, the siblings got closer to Dusk, and the Gaja clan was safe along with the kids.
He must say that they accomplished a lot.
The only unsatisfactory thing is something completely external that is controlled by the people who don't take a hint and he decided to deal with that as soon as possible.
