Chapter 212: Chapter 212 STAGES
The expression of the herd becomes timid, the power of that strike was just too strong and destructive.
Even the alpha is now somewhat afraid of him, he walks towards them and they all retreat, even the alpha hesitates if he retreats or not.
Fortunately, Sean doesn’t hold any hostility towards them or else, they might had bolted already.
"Now, to honor your promise." He puts his hand on it’s head and initiates the contract ceremony.
The alpha trembles but ignoring it’s instinct, it opens the defenses of it’s soul and the two of them sign a contract.
"System, is there any cultivation technique that I can create that’s suitable for it?" He asks.
He is confident of the amount of techniques that he learned throughout his journey.
[Yes, similar to the Carp Leaping to the Dragon’s Gate, you can create a technique that’s related to the dragon clan as this mystique creature has a body that can endure such massive evolution.]

He realizes something, this is the first ever Innate partner he have.
Just as he was celebrating, intense exhaustion descends on him, causing him to be stunned.
[This is the effect of an overburdened soul, an Innate soul is still too much for your current situation as you are also burdened with Beast World, this is the reason why even though you clearly have an Innate level soul, you only managed to obtain two slots.]
"I guess that I had to learn the situation by experience, why didn’t you inform me of this?"
[The host formerly doesn’t have any access to Innate level information but now that you signed a contract with an Innate, that restriction is now lifted.]
He can only sigh and starts reading the description of the Innate Traits of his new partner.

He was surprised to see that his new partner still has trait that’s on the level of Vital Realm, still, it was already powerful.
He turns to read the skill section.

Most of it’s skills are quite practical, multiple skills are offensive but there are also control and ranged attacks.
"A purely physical offensive creature that has learned how to be flexible because of it’s status as the leader of it’s group." He mutters.
"System share to me what kind of technique you’re going to imprint on it’s soul."
Dragon Elephant Tempering Technique: A body tempering technique that walks the path of pure offensive power. Absorbing the power of the dragon and carrying the power of the Ancient Wild Elephant. (Uses yang essence and dragon blood to temper the body).
Dragon Transformation: During the normal state, obtain the power of the dragon, during active state, obtains the ability of flight.
Ancient Elephant Power: During the normal state, obtain the power of the Ancient Elephant, during the active state, obtains the ability to summon elephant herd that submitted to the user.
A very powerful technique and with this world’s situation, this was a legendary technique as sub dragons roams everywhere, consume them and gains more power.
The alpha receives the two technique and roars, he then left it a message into it’s head and left.
Other than a mission, he also left it a name, Horton.
Quickly leaving the world, he returns with a pale and sweaty face.
"Is carrying an Innate level soul really this difficult?" He can’t help but complain.
[No, the heaviest object weighing in your soul is the Beast World but it seems that your contract with Horton has hasten the progress of it.]
"Oh? That’s good to hear, at least my sacrifice isn’t going to be in vain, still, I need to rest, I should probably return to the city and recuperate while waiting for Dorgaron to complete his digestion."
Since it was too taxing to fly back, he summoned Minerva to carry him back home.
He sits down and meditates, just to lessen the exhaustion he’s feeling right now.
’Once Beast World has improved once again, it’s going to be a lot more difficult to continue operate normally.’
[Not exactly, Beast World isn’t actually a true burden, it also serves as a support for your soul, no matter how strong your dual soul is, it couldn’t had been able to carry so many powerful beings but Beast World carried them for you.]
"That meant, because of the level of Horton, Beast World can’t carry it?" He finally start to understand some things.
No wonder he is only feeling the heaviness at this moment, his soul can’t carry two items at the same time, it should had been totally focused in holding Beast World but because he signed a contract with a creature that can’t enter Beast World, it’s now two.
"It’s my fault for being too impulsive." He sighs but at least, he now learn something important about himself.
The journey back home was tiring, when he returns back to the city, he immediately went to their house.
When the girls saw him, their eyes lights up, that is until he falls flat to the floor.
They hurriedly carried him up.
"Sorry."
"What happened!? Were you injured in your adventures!?"
"No, I am just suffering because of an impulsive decision."
"What is it?"
"I signed a contract with an Innate level creature."
The entire living room becomes silent, his words stunned the girls too much.
Even though, he already has Innate level strength, signing a contract with one is still shocking.
"I now realized just how big the difference between an Innate and a vital realm creature, even someone like me is having a hard time keeping the contract in check."
"So, you aren’t injured?"
"No, just exhausted, girls, remember this, your spirit is much stronger than normal because of the Basic Cultivation Technique but don’t overdraw it by signing a contract with a mich higher ranking creature, take me as example."
"So, it’s just you being too greedy?" Asks Chika.
"Yeah, don’t worry about me, I just need to rest for a couple of days and manage my power in order to recover."
He asks Liliaghant to carry him back to the basement and bring some pillows.
The girls can see that he’s barely keeping his consciousness in check, even though, there are many things that they want to ask, they decided to just let him be.
In the basement, Sean was meditating, keeping the shaking Beast World in check.
"System, now that I used all of my slots and my traits is awakened, can you now show me the requirements for my breakthrough?"
[Not yet, your body is still calibrating to it’s maximum capacity, it involves Beast World as it’s considered a part of your soul, right now, it’s in the process of exiting the chaos space and entering a universe connected to this one, settling on a specific Galaxy.]
"Wait, is that how worlds are created!?"
[I can’t answer that question.]
Just that simple answer stunned him, this is the first time that the system has actively denied to tell him something that it actively knows.
"Tell me, is there something that you want to achieve?"
[Once again, I can’t answer that question but I can give you a hint, it involves Beast World.]
"You helped me throughout my entire journey on this universe, I need to repay you, since it involves Beast World, I will try to actively enhance it."
Thinking about this, he hurriedly asks. "Is there any method to quickly improve Beast World without harming it’s foundation?"
[Nurturing the natives of that world, right now, only small bacterias are active, as long as life is nurtured in that world naturally, then, the world will thrive and will enter the Birth Stage, what you call the Prehistoric Age, the current stage of Horton’s world.]
"Birth Stage? What kind of development is that?"
[The one you guys call ancient age, where legendary creatures with almost godlike abilities roam the planet.]
"You know, I’m always curious about that, why is it that there’s always a time when the world was teeming with legendary creatures? Then, all of them starts dying one by one, giving birth to the present age."
[The Birth Stage is the time period when the world is actively trying to nurture it’s children, that’s why multiple of them obtained divine abilities but after that stage, the world will enter a state of constant development and it will start taking away the gifts that it had given but not through force, through the laws that it has created.]
"Why would it do that?"
[Because, it no longer needs the living being inside of it to grow stronger, the power that it had given will return to it to be used as it’s own nourishment, the true cultivators are those that managed to cultivate with just the natural energy being released by the world.]
