Arthur stood in his spot for long minutes before he finally accepted this result. He couldn't believe he missed such a rare chance to get to know the secrets of this universe, simply like that.
However, what could he have done and didn't? His technique was just overbearing, and each advantage must come with a price.
"Gege, take all the originals inside and let them rescue their folks," Arthur said before turning around, "also dispatch parts of them to scan and scout the world. If there is still a hidden place here we must not miss it."
Arthur didn't know what he had to do to make this world his. If he needed to build cities here, then the mission would be simply hard.
It wasn't the problem of time needed to build the cities, or the vast space of the two lands; these lands were simply not suitable for living!
Even the one covered with green mist wasn't any much better than the one below. Despite the lands showing faint signs of recovering, it was still a far -fetched dream to have life in these two lands.
He just hoped the condition of unifying this world would be accomplished by extinguishing his enemies. Under his watch, many portals opened and tens of thousands of eager and enraged originals poured out of them.
It seemed they got enticed by the miserable status of their kin. Arthur could only sigh while watching the devastation they caused for the remaining piece of prison under such rage.
The process went smoothly. With the help of such a grand number, rescuing the left originals was done in less than a day. As for the ones who went to explore the two lands, they took roughly two more days to come back with nothing to report.
There was no other place suitable for life in such a desolate piece of the world. Arthur instructed Gege to take back everyone inside the original world before he left through the sphere as well.
This time the sphere, which lost all the green fire protecting it, didn't hinder Arthur's passage at all.
Despite his worry about unifying this world, he still had a battle he must win inside his empire.
During the past weeks, the enemy didn't move an inch away from the seven spots they breached already. Arthur prevented his forces from going all out thanks to his entanglement inside the prison world.
But as he finished from the prison world, it was time to unleash the full force of his empire.
"Relay my orders," he said in a deep tone, "all the free armies are to gather around one spot and help the army there to annihilate the enemy. Afterwards they can move to another spot and do the same."
As the enemy wanted to attack his mountain city, Arthur used portals to arrive there as fast as possible. Once his armies started to seriously clash with the enemies, the hidden agenda would be executed and the hidden army would appear.
At this moment he was alone enough to deal with these armies. He wasn't alone, after all he had his originals with nothing to stop their momentum now.
Not to mention his originals were already thirsty for blood. The rage they held deep inside their hearts was on the verge of exploding. So Arthur decided to use the enemy to help his originals vent out some of their anger.
It took him roughly two hours to arrive in the mountain city. The city wasn't far to begin with from the lake city. Even if the enemy changed direction and targeted another city, he was confident in his ability to reach them faster than their ability to crack open the protective shield around that city.
"Keep monitoring the entire world," he stood on top of the mountain, overseeing his grand city and the towns and villages surrounding it, "once the enemy appeared, take out all the originals without the need to ask me."
Arthur was fed up with this world. He wanted to unify it as soon as possible, then go back to his original world.
The words he heard from that mysterious angel looking being were still lingering in his mind. He didn't understand most of what she said, but all that he understood told him that whatever he was doing, he wasn't the only person here doing it.
There were others just like him, treading on the path of unifying two different forms of energies to give birth to a new form of energy.
"The golden god energy… What a majestic name," he muttered while shaking off his head. At this point it didn't matter what name his golden pearl energy had, he just wanted to see what the end result would be.
If there were others like him in this universe, then they would surely be in the higher realms and not in such low realms.
"I can't wait to go up there," he raised his head while feeling the uncontrolled desire inside his heart. He wanted to go up there, to meet such people and exchange pointers with them.
He trusted his ability. After all, someone who lived two lives wasn't simply intimidated by others. Even that mysterious lady, who seemed to live for long years, couldn't defeat him.
He also didn't forget what that lady said about his golden pearl energy. She mentioned that he reached the top stage, the last phase before ascension.
That meant he was ready. But he couldn't understand why someone like her would be living in such a miserable way in such a low world.
If ascension meant for him to become part of the higher realms, then why weren't there many people like him up there? He visited the higher realms himself and didn't feel any special auras from people there.
Even grandmasters of the big clans, dark and light based clans, weren't like that mysterious girl he just killed.
The more he thought about it, the more ugly he felt. He became surer that he missed a great opportunity of knowing secrets of this universe, and also facts he never imagined about himself and his powers.
