Chapter 596 Trouble In The World

?

Meanwhile, inside the Secret Realm...

The beasts and creatures of this place were already returning to normal after the days of the event that had just ended.

If one were to enter there now, one would see a much more peaceful place, with weak beasts coming out of their hiding places while the stronger ones returning to their resting areas.

Beasts slept a lot. That was their way of cultivation. So instead of meditating, as a human would do to grow stronger, these beings would fill their stomachs with energy-rich food and sleep until they used all that to grow stronger.

Also, because of this, these creatures had slower cultivation than humans and could live much longer as well.

Some of the beasts from this Secret Realm had existed for more than 10,000 years, but of that lifetime, they had spent at least 70% of it sleeping.

That's why beings from the time of Peters City's founder still existed in this place, even considering the overall low cultivation level of these beings.

So after the Secret Realm event was over, these beings were already returning to their usual routine, which did not involve battles or intrigue.

The creator of this space had placed only trusted beings there and left a well-defined hierarchy behind.

When there were no people there to endanger the seals over this space, they would live in an orderly manner, each tribe taking care of its responsibilities without unnecessary conflict.

Some would rebuild and help recover what had been lost to the humans who had entered there. In contrast, others would maintain the integrity of certain areas, such as the statues in the underground.

Because of this, some of these creatures were already moving in teams to repair sites damaged by recent battles, while others had the job of breeding.

To maintain the population over the years, the weaker beasts of this place had to reproduce at each opening of the Secret Realm to recover the lives lost.

It would take time for the stronger beings killed during the event week to be replaced, but it would eventually happen one day.

And upon arriving at this place, the Saint immediately noticed several signs of creatures from this place mating.

He ignored it because he knew that when creating a space like this, people like him had to put in all sorts of things to maintain the spiritual quality of the area.

Without living things to maintain plant life and make development cycles happen, a place like this would become a barren wasteland after a few generations!

He focused on finding the strongest ones there, leaving aside these creatures trying to replant what had been cut down.

He looked toward a sizeable red toad and heard what that being was talking about with some kind of little green men.

"Chief, we can't get into that area to check the statues." One of those little green men said while looking at a being resembling a mountain near it. "The damn spectres are in great numbers in the tunnels below."

"Sigh... Those creatures are getting worse with time." The head of this Secret Realm said in a worried tone. "With each event, the number of spectres has been increasing. If this continues, we will have problems in a few generations."

The spectre problem was a real thing. Generations ago, there were only a few known spectres about this space. However, from a few decades to now, the number had jumped and was not far from reaching a figure that would make it difficult for these beings from this Secret Realm to continue their activities.

"That must be the stuff of humans coming in here." A level 18 beast that looked like an orangutan monkey said. "Every time humans die here, new spectres appear."

"Hmmm, there is something wrong in that world. The dead are not fulfilling their path in the reincarnation cycle." The great toad sighed, not knowing what to do.

At that instant, the Saint arrived where these beings were, not far from where Viktoria had fallen days ago.

He listened to the conversation of these beings and said. "It seems that this problem is not only local..."

"What?"

"Who are you?"

Immediately those beings realized the presence of this high-level human, startled by his sudden appearance.

The most frightened of all was the level 18 toad, for that old man had the same level as its master the last time it saw him!

Gulp!

'Level 20!' It exclaimed in its mind, seeing a Heavenly Saint.

The Heavenly Saint looked at that creature and said. "The wheel of reincarnation is broken. When beings above average die, they will form spectres to terrorize the world.

This is the stuff of the damned demons who want to dominate our great world!"

"Uh? Is that true? But if it is, the whole world will end! Spectres are terrible to fight against, even in low numbers..." One of the beings in the surrounding area said.

"It is a catastrophe... Anyway, if you want to prevent the emergence of these abominable beings, avoid killing humans above the 4th Revolution. Above that, humans have enough willpower to generate spectres." He said, knowing this was not his purpose there, but saying it nonetheless because it was his job to fight against beings based on negative elements.

"Anyway, I'm here searching for someone who recently passed through this place." He said, not identifying himself to these low-level beings. "He should be powerful and recently showed terrifying power.

I want to know everything he did here and what he looks like."

"What?"

"Is he after that human?"

"Wow! That human was strong, but I didn't think he would attract a great Saint!"

The High Priest heard that and made an ugly expression. "Human? You are mistaken. The one I'm after is an abominable creature. He is a hybrid of demon and human."

"It can't be!"

"That's not possible! He hasn't devoured a single creature from this place! Furthermore, he strengthened the seal over the area and annihilated three remnants of Secret Realm demons!" A level 17 beast, the one that had accompanied Lothur when he searched for Viktoria, said this.

Meanwhile, the level 18 toad closed its eyes, feeling it made sense.

'So that was it... Not for nothing did I feel like I was standing in front of a predator at that moment. He's actually the ultimate predator! The enemy of all races, able to steal powers from everyone in his path!'

But even though he identified Lothur as a hybrid of demon and human, this toad couldn't help but say. "Senior, I don't doubt your intentions and words. But this person who was here is very different from what the legends say.

He was very calm and even negotiated with us. I don't see how he could be this chaotic being, capable of devouring his own parents."
