Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 366  365: We Have Arrived

{Isn't it obvious. We're going to be EXP for the Half New-Earthlings when our time is up.}

The moment Divine transmitted these words, Corey was taken aback and he stared at Divine with a tinge of confusion in his eyes.

{EXP? What do you mean?}

Although Corey had an inkling what Divine meant, it was always better to ask rather than make assumptions.

{Well…} Divine paused, {... We, who are New-Earthlings and not Half New-Earthlings, don't have the bloodline of outsiders in us. We were not born and raised from childhood by the outsiders, so there's no way those who are truly in charge of the Underworld cannot use us to obtain the core of New Earth.}

A soft chuckle which was similar to that of a scoff escaped Divine's lips.

{Although they cannot use us to obtain the world's core, what they can do is use us as a whetstone to sharpen the Half New-Earthlings. We're basically here to not only weed out the weak and useless Half New-Earthlings, we're also here to make them stronger.}

{When it's time for the world's core to be obtained, the rulers would have no use for us and we'll be given to the Half New-Earthlings with potential as EXP… We'll be killed and our soul stone would be used to strengthen the chosen Half New-Earthlings.}

{The useless Half New-Earthlings would also be killed, and their soul stones would also be used to strengthen the chosen Half New-Earthlings.}

Divine chuckled as an image formed in his mind. He could imagine the faces of those who had no desire to escape the Underworld, and those who even chose to have a family.

{When can one obtain the core of New Earth}

Corey asked, and Divine shrugged.

{I don't know. It's usually random. However…} Divine raised a finger, {When the opportunity comes to obtain the world core, it is also when our world wants to ascend to a higher world.}

Corey looked at Divine with a confused expression, {A world can ascend?}

Divine nodded, {Yes, a world can ascend. A world has to ascend for many reasons actually.}

Divine raised a finger, {First of all, a world has to ascend to become stronger and more stable, because if it doesn't. Anybody that is powerful enough would be able to cause severe damage to the world. Imagine a fight or war occurring with several people having this level of power, the world would eventually be destroyed.}

Divine raised a finger, {First of all, a world has to ascend to become stronger and more stable, because if it doesn't. Anybody that is powerful enough would be able to cause severe damage to the world. Imagine a fight or war occurring with several people having this level of power, the world would eventually be destroyed.}

Corey furrowed his brows slightly. Although what Divine said made sense, he was still surprised that a world could evolve.

{Also, a world has to ascend so that the quantity and quality of mana in the world would increase. The higher the quality and quantity of mana in the world, the more we New Earthlings would benefit from it.}

Corey raised a brow, {Benefit from it? How?}

{Well, from what I know, we should have a stat boost whenever we're in New Earth. Also, I think our stat limit would increase slightly which means our talent would also increase . Although the increase was dependent on the grade of our world's ascension.}

Corey raised a brow, {There are also grades when it comes to a world's ascension?}

Divine nodded, {Let me explain. There are different classes of worlds when it comes to the strength of the world, stability of the world, and the quantity and quality of mana the world possesses.}

{The lowest class of a world is called A Manaless World, and this type of world is usually not even included in the classification of worlds. They are usually worlds that have either not undergone an awakening by the Universal System, or their potential is so low that the Universal System abandoned them.}

Corey raised a brow with a tinge of surprise in his expression. However, he noticed an oddity in Divine's words.

{You first said grade, why are you now calling it class?}

Divine smiled.

{Grade is used to define the result a world achieved during their ascension.}

Divine explained, and Corey frowned. Although he could understand the overall gist of a World's Ascension, it was still abstract to him.

{As I was saying, after a Manaless World, the next class of a world is called an Astral World.} {After an Astral World is a Mystic World.}

{As for what's after a Mystic World, it's not so simple and straightforward.}

Corey raised a brow, {What do you mean?}

Divine scratched the side of his head, and a few seconds later, he answered.

{Well, to put it simply, a world can either choose to become a Divine World or an Immortal World. It actually depends on a lot of factors to be honest, and explaining all of it right now would not be easy.}

Corey frowned slightly, then he shrugged.

{Now that I've said something about the classes of worlds, let me explain the grades of a world's ascension.}

Divine paused, and then he continued.

{The grade of a world's ascension can be classified into, Minor Ascension grade, Major Ascension grade, and Supreme Ascension grade.}

{The three grades are basically the results a world got during their ascension. And the higher the grade, the better the rewards that are granted to a world and its inhabitants.}

Divine glanced at Corey, then his gaze shifted to the front and his eyes brightened.

{Our world is an Astral World, and when it's time for it to ascend, it would ascend to a Mystic World. When it becomes a Mystic World, the damage caused by Mystic Beings would reduce, and if our world somehow achieves a Supreme Ascension grade, then the damage that even tier 6s would cause would reduce.}

{You might not know this, but there is a suppression on every Outsider that is a Mystic Being in our world. The higher their tier, the stronger the suppression. Most Mystic Beings Outsiders are not able to unleash their full power since our world doesn't want to get destroyed from the countless fighting that are occurring in it.}

Divine said, and Corey glanced at Divine.

{If our world ascends, doesn't it mean that stronger beings would be able to come into our world?}

Corey asked, and Divine nodded.

{But you don't have to be so worried. Worlds don't usually undergo ascension unless a high percentage of its denizens are strong enough… Although we might be weaker, we wouldn't be so powerless.}

Corey nodded, and countless thoughts went through his mind. Surprisingly, he had learned so much about the Underworld and his world. There was so much information that Corey knew he could not take any of it lightly.

The stars of consciousness in his mental space blazed brightly as they worked and ruminated over every single piece of information Divine had just given him.

'Could it be that Divine told me all of this because he now trusts me?' Although Corey was not sure, he had a feeling this was the case. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some minutes later, Divine's voice reverberated in his ears.

"Stop here. We've gotten to the place."
