Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 125 Golden Fruit

Hearing Seth's answer, various thoughts came running through Alice's head as she silently watched Seth uncaringly go about his meal.

"Do you also feed on human beings?" Alice asked in an almost whispered voice.

"So far I haven't, but who knows what might happen in the future," Seth said.

"And what of Dorian, would she also begin eating raw flesh?".

"Like you said, am also new to this, so I have no idea how Dorian will eventually turn out," Seth said, and then relaxing into his chair turned to Alice.

"We all want power, but tell me Alice what is it that has you wanting power so desperately, you're a president and should have everything you want, but here you are more than ready to dance to my tunes and even put the future of the whole Ergand federation at stake?".

Seth's question brought about some silence from Alexia who seemed to be deep in thought, and it wasn't until a minute later that she replied.

"Adriana told you she was 553 right, so please try guessing my age," Alice said starting with a question.

"uhhmm, 920 years old," Seth said, looking at Alice for confirmation but she only smiled.

"Wrong, am 1484 years old Seth" Alice said, her words freezing Seth in his tracks and having him stare at Alice in shock, but before he could let out a word, Alice continued.

"In this world, there are those born with incredible cultivation talent and those born with bad ones, and well there are also those born with almost nonexistent ones, and such people are better off left to live the life of a normal human.

I am one such woman, born with an almost nonexistent cultivation talent, and Seth after spending centuries just to progress to the general level, you can be sure the seed of desperation is now fully grown in my heart and if you want me as a pet, I am more than willing to kneel and bark at your bed every morning, just for a chance at the Kaiser level".

"Hmm, your words have just given me some ideas for Sonia, but why are you telling me all this, you should be smart enough to know that you just put yourself in a lower position," Seth said.

"Your words would be true if we were negotiating, but we aren't are we, the truth is that our partnership is brought about by the fact that I need you and you are interested in me, most likely finding amusement with me, so letting you know of the true situation has little to no effect on what you see me as".

"So what do you want, my pity," Seth asked.

"No, what I want is your permanent interest," Alice said, "but let's move on from my sad life story to another of the reason I need you".

"You see Seth, like said I am one of such people with a horrible talent for cultivation, and by all accounts should have been discarded, but how many fathers would discard the only child of their beloved late wife.

Perhaps you didn't know this, but I will tell your right now, above the 3rd stage Kaiser, there is another level, the overseer.

Every major leading country in the world has at least a single overseer, and the Ergand federation was one of them until 1000 years ago when ours ascended.

"Ascended" Seth said,

"Yes Seth ascended, the universe is made up of several worlds, and our world just happens to be one of them, albeit a lower tier due to how underdeveloped our cultivation is, but just as there are lower tier worlds, there are also higher tier ones.

Ascension is a term used for people leaving from a lower world to a higher one, but given how extremely underdeveloped our world is, leaving for any other world is always termed ascension.

Now getting back to my story, the Ergand federation used to possess an overseer, my father, but 1000 years ago he ascended, and with his ascension, the Ergand federation and Luka family which once possessed an overseer was left with none, and this has left us open to predation from our enemies and almost all every major player on earth".

"Wait Seth said stopping Alice from going any further," If your father's absence would leave the country without an overseer, then why did he leave," Seth asked genuinely confused.

"Well because overseers are only allowed to stay on earth for thousand years before they are taken away, so what overseers usually do is use those thousand years to raise another person who will also become an overseer, though the task is unbelievably tedious, some countries with lots of talents are able to raise three overseers, and all this is thanks to the golden fruit".

"The golden fruit," Seth mumbled, and Alice hearing his words smiled and continued.

"Above rank 9 dungeons is the rank 10 dungeon Navista, a dungeon which appears once every 500 years.

Unlike other dungeons which limit entry to a particular cultivation level, Navista is accessible to everyone, though being able to survive in it is a different matter.

Overseer and top 3rd stage Kaisers are usually the only ones who enter it, with 3rd stage Kaisers having a 99% percent mortality rate and overseers a 60% mortality rate.

Several resources can be gotten from Navista but the most valuable resource it contains is the golden fruit, without the golden fruit, a breakthrough from the Kaiser level to the overseer level is impossible and in my father's lifetime he was able to gather four golden fruits, a heavenly feat I must say" Alice said with a proud smile.

"With four golden fruits, Ergand federation's future was assured, and the dream of the federation possessing two overseers if my father left was very achievable, but unfortunately my father loved me far too much, and in the end, he hid the existence of two of the fruits, secretly handing them to me, believing that I would be able to ascend to the overseer level, but he was wrong.

By the time my father was leaving, I was around 400 years and had already consumed one of the fruit, and with its help had broken through to the 1st stage general level, a very disappointing feat, but my father firmly held on to the belief that my body still hadn't fully consumed the fruit's essence and that I was still going to make more breakthroughs, I believed him and cultivated hard every day, but in the end, it was all for naught.

By the time I reached the 2nd stage general level, I was 978 years old and that was when I decide to give up on the last golden fruit and offered them to both Adriana and Dorian, one of the best decisions of my life".

"Well that's quite the story, but am curious, you said, there were four, what happened to the other golden fruit?".

"Gareth Basco ate it" Alice spat out.
