I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I stayed behind for two more days to watch. The delivery came through swiftly and Angelica and her men did a great job dealing with them.

As for Lily, she kept jumping off between first and second layers with the help of portals linking the two.

Right now, the need for resources wasn’t an issue. The resources in the second layer of the pocket world were just more than enough to satisfy the needs of my forces.

And with the arrival of the fresh batches here, the problem of lack of enough manpower was going to be solved in time.

I looked at all this and felt a moment of pride. I rose up from being no one and ended up in such a state. It wasn’t just a mere fluke, I did this with my power and will.

It would be unfair to consider this all thanks to luck. Luck was a great factor indeed, but far from enough to turn me into the man I was now today.

Thinking about my forces on Earth, my plans here at the various places of the second Earth, and the things I did in the pocket world… All were things that made me proud and held much confidence in the upcoming future.

That fifth quest… Those Hescos… That golden quest… Just wait for you all, I’d shock you and come out victorious.

And now it was time for me to start my cultivation after so long of pause.

First I had to select a place to stay. This was indeed inside the pocket world. For a moment, I thought about going to the castle and enjoying the crazy time speed there.

However I thought this wouldn’t help me anyway. Even if my cultivation took a long time each session, I needed to take breaks in between.

Also I was worried the quality of energy in the sealed space of my castle would be greatly diminished and affected by such an insane time effect.

The best place? Of course it was into the second layer. There it turned into a grand world, one that was fresh and new.

I still had memories about the times I trained on the second Earth when I first arrived. It was a pure world with dense spiritual energy, enough to make me worry from going berserk.

So in the end I started to look at the map provided by my Angelica and Lily before heading straight towards the most distant continent.

It’d take me roughly a month to arrive there. And I didn’t intend to slack.

First I opened the beads that were covered in thick dust. All this time I was distracted by many things, and yet I never forgot about it.

It was like a mobile library for me to use. Even if the old man didn’t know that much, his information about cultivation was the best thing I had right now.

So I started to listen to his three lessons, attentively, refreshing my rusty memories about cultivation.

After that I started to go through what Sith left before about cultivation. Doing this alone took me almost ten days to finish. I got to listen to these lessons in one go, before standing in silence and contemplating about what I heard, then relistening them again.

I had to come up with a foolproof way to train. I didn’t want to just skip training in the middle to just think about a problem with a solution in the beads and records.

I knew my cultivation path was unique. It was the thing that connected me to the dark shadow world in the first place. The concepts about my cultivation weren’t that known or common in the entire universe.

One thing I learnt from watching all the dark shadow clansmen before; they got better results while training together.

Unlike what I thought back then, their way of cultivating didn’t suit me. I was on a much higher stage than any of them. And logically speaking, these ways wouldn’t give me any benefits.

Instead I might suffer setbacks in return.

So I ditched everything I got from watching them and started to consider another troublesome issue; my shadow world!

According to what I experienced, the shadow world would only get opened when a new lord joined it. Each new lord would grant that universe one extra month of life.

It would be troubling if I was blocked from accessing that universe when it got frozen, right?

I had no way to know it before testing. Yet knowing that I’d be kicked away out of it in the middle of my training wasn’t something good.

After all, I left my cultivation base back there and had another dantian as well.

Nothing good would come from a cultivator who lost the connection with his cultivation base, right?

Hopefully I’d be only overthinking this matter.

There was another problem as well. I started my cultivation using the dark realm monster bones.

At first I didn’t get what these bones did or what their role in the entire process was. However right now I could tell it was all thanks to two things.

These bones held an immense amount of energy, and above all this energy was dark in nature. This meant the energy was compatible with the shadow world, and it had enough energy to do something at such a high end universe and world.

Putting these two into consideration, it wasn’t that hard for me to do the same without the need to use bones, right?

Bones should act as a supporting factor, not the main player in my cultivation. Or else, the problem of finding much higher grade bones each time would grow.

Not to mention these dark realm monsters were common cabbage found on the streets!

I have no way to reach a world filled with them. And if I was lucky to stumble on one, I wasn’t sure if I’d find enough high grade bones for me to use.

So instead of doing this, why not use my advantage then? I was now a lord, a mega lord in that world. I got a huge territory, absorbed too much land and built my territory to be like an impregnable fortress.
