Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Xiao smiled.
"But that was not the most important thing. The important thing was their culture and knowledge. Because of those dreams, I've been able to access some of their knowledge, etc. But sadly, the dreams were very illusory and blurry. Because of this, I can't exactly recall how those things worked. Otherwise, we might be able to replicate them."
He sighed with a dejected expression.
"So, Sister Rose and Sister Elizabeth, I need your help, along with the family's support, to secretly search every corner of the Endless Haven to see if you can find or come across any world, planet, or civilization that did not use cultivation."
Rose and Elizabeth had extremely serious expressions on their faces, which were filled with suspicion.
Elizabeth spoke.
"This matter is very serious, Xiao'er. It cannot be taken lightly at all. And as for the thing you requested, as far as I know, there is no civilization that exists in the Endless Haven that does not use cultivation. The very fundamental law of this universe is cultivation (培育). So, as far as I know and from my personal experience, there has never been any mention or evidence that a civilization which did not use cultivation has existed since ancient times."
Rose also added with a frown.
"She's right. And it's not just that. The very idea of a civilization that did not use cultivation to accomplish those kinds of things sounds ridiculous, to be honest. As far as I know, there have been many civilizations in the past that used a very different kind of cultivation system from the current one that we use. Even now, there exist many hidden and unique Small Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and many Lower Realms in the Endless Haven that use many different and unique cultivation systems from ours."
She shook her head.
"But in the end, no matter what those unique and different civilizations do to make their power systems different from the rest or cultivate in a different way, the essence of it still remains cultivation. I have never heard of a civilization that did not use cultivation to support its unique power system."
Then she smiled sweetly like sunshine, making the entire room seem to be illuminated by her smile.
"Since little brother has said so, we will look into it and use our family's forces to search for it."
Elizabeth nodded.
"Yes. And also about the strange dreams and experiences you had in those dreams, we need to report them to Mother as well. Only she knows more than us about those things and can better answer your questions."
Xiao nodded slightly but frowned inwardly. Taking another bite of the delicious food on his plate and devouring it in one go, he thought.
'Now this is not something I had expected.'
By using his family's power and resources along with his sisters' help, he might be able to pinpoint the location of Earth, as he believed that it might be hidden in some remote, unexplored corner of the Endless Haven.
As far as he knew, there were many different and unique civilizations in the Endless Haven that did not use the normal cultivation system. Instead, they used different and unique cultivation systems that were unheard of.
So based on that conclusion, Xiao had thought that there was a very high possibility that Earth might exist somewhere within the Endless Haven. That was why he had decided to tell his sisters about this so-called strange dream.
By using the dream as an excuse, he could use his family's power to search for Earth so that one day he could eventually return home. At the same time, in the future, when he used his knowledge of Earth and the novels he had read to test out many different things.
He could always use the excuse and blame everything on his strange dreams and memories. Yes, Xiao wasn't stupid at all. Instead, from the moment he decided to meet his family,
He had been planning to use this entire story to explain the many strange things and changes about himself to his family. At the same time, he could always use this excuse to justify every experiment he would conduct in the future, while also searching for Earth through it.
It could be said that with just this one move, Xiao had killed almost three birds with one stone.
'Ahh, I am just too smart. Thousand year old monsters who? Heh, I can use those frauds as chess pieces and toy with them as much as I want!'
Feeling that he was becoming narcissistic again, Xiao criticized his pitiful ego in his mind, as he didn't want to become too confident and arrogant. Otherwise, he would be blinded by it. And once that happened, it wouldn't be long before he met his end at the hands of someone more powerful and stronger than him.
After reminding himself not to become too cocky and arrogant over such a small success, where anything could happen at any time, Xiao focused on the issue at hand once again.
'But the question is, if Earth wasn't somewhere in the Endless Haven, then where is it? From the way Sister Rose and Sister Elizabeth reacted, it doesn't look like they are lying. So it means that they haven't come across any civilization similar to Earth at all?'
He frowned.
'Also, a civilization such as Earth is very unique and valuable in its own way. Mainly because of its fiction, which even has things like cultivation novels, and its culture as well. So if anyone had happened to encounter it, then the news of such a unique civilization would have spread throughout the Endless Haven. But there was none.'
He continued to speculate.
'Dammit, this was very confusing and complicated. There were three possibilities in this scenario. First, Earth wasn't in the Endless Haven at all. Second, Earth might be in some barren and isolated corner of the Endless Haven. And as for the third...'
He squinted his eyes.
'It might be in the Upper Dimension, the higher world where every Great Emperor ascended. It's very much possible that this possibility is much closer to the actual truth than anything else. And I have a feeling that it might be the truth.'
