Chapter 2395: Proposal
An hour later.
In the city hundreds of miles away from the sea shore.
Sam initially thought the city would be in the middle of the forest. However, contrary to his expectations, there is no sign of even a single tree around the city.
Even the city itself is almost like an ancient ruin. There are not many intact buildings. Most of them are destroyed. The city is full of signs of past battles and struggles.
As for the people inside, there are barely around a thousand people. That is all. Out of them the majority are in mortal plane. A few hundred Astral plane cultivators. As for the fifty odd cultivators that surrounded Sam at the beach, they are the only Divine Plane cultivators in the city.
Sam was welcomed inside and was taken to the personal office of the leader in the central building.
The leader has calmed down and she arranged some drinks and food for Sam.
"Before I answer your questions, may I know who you are and where you came from?" She asked with some hope.
Even though Sam gave some vague answers before and didn't seem too interested about answering in detail, since they decided to cooperate, she just hoped that he would answer her.
"I am Sam.
I am a person from another realm. A realm with beings that are far more powerful that the ones here. And I came here to establish my influence here."
Sam was direct this time. The reason he didn't answer the first time is because he knew even if he told them, they wouldn't believe him. His origin and goal will appear more like a story to them and nothing else.
Without any sense of trust, it would take a long time for him to convince them.
But now that he proved that he is not allied with whatever those sea creatures are, there is at least some middle-ground for him to talk to them.
"I see." The leader was surprisingly calm. At least she appeared to be.
"Do you have any other questions that you want to ask?" Sam asked.
"I do. May I know what you mean by increase your influence here?"
Sam smiled and said.
"Whatever I am about to say, I am going to tell you this with complete honesty. So, believe it or not, that is your choice.
As I said before, I am from a place that is ruled by beings that are stronger than you can even imagine. And those beings have given people like me, a mission or rather a game to play.
That is to go into the isolated worlds like yours and conquer them. To establish our influence here, we can either subdue the people of this world, or make you follow the same path as we do, or make you become devout to the same gods as we do.
The end goal will be the inhabitants of this world coming under the command and guidance of people like me.
And I am sure, I am not the only one to come here."
"Why I am revealing this? Because I want you to be clear about what I will possibly do in the future, if your people do not comply and even go against my explicit advice.
In this mission, my peers are my competitors. Their sole purpose is to disrupt my conquest and suppress my influence. Which makes them my enemies. And anyone that is in support of my enemies, will be my enemy as well.
As I said before, I am not a benevolent apostle of divine grace. I will deal with my enemies, the way they should be and I would rather not kill or destroy the people that I barely even
know. I hope you can clearly explain this to them.
Now, if you are done, I have some questions of my own."
The lady fell into a deep thought and then sighed.
"This is a lot to digest. But for now, let's talk about what you want."
"Tell me, what exactly caused your world and its humans to be in the state they are now."
"How much do you know?"
"Not much. But I would like to know the story from the start."
The lady sighed and said.
"Alright, I will tell you everything I know.
As you mentioned. This world has a barrier, a limit to how much we can grow. However, this
world did allow a lot of our people to reach that limit. So, there was a time when a bunch of old people who are in their strongest state, were sick and tired of just letting the time take their lives away, despite being the strongest.
It was told that all of them could sense that there is something beyond that limit and something beyond our world.
But none of them were able to reach it through cultivation.
So, to move past it, they all looked for different methods. And one of those methods is experimentation on the beasts. Three people in particular, lost themselves in that experimentation. We don't know exactly what they have done, but because of a mishap in their experiments, they changed. The three humans that represented the pinnacle of human species, turned into three abominations.
They turned against humanity and other species in the world. They started turning them into these weird creatures that you saw. They started occupying the water, sky and the land.
Of course, one thing they succeeded in is that their strength surpassed even the strongest beings that ever existed in this world. So, whatever resistance the humanity's strongest put
up at that time was beaten.
Their onslaught continued until we finally reached the current state.
Humans are now but a minor species that is struggling to survive and established six
settlements across the planets.
Our settlement in smallest one of them all."
