Chapter 22: The Cultivation Association and Secrets of the OctaPlanet
In the war hall of the Cultivation Association, chaos had settled, and reports were pouring in.
A messenger approached Chairman Guo, bowing slightly.
> "Chairman, we've received news. The man who achieved War God Form… it is none other than Luo Shin."
Chairman Guo's eyes narrowed, glowing faintly with intrigue.
> "Go. Ask him to come to the Association. I will personally meet him."

Shin's Thoughts
When Shin received the summons, he paused. His thoughts raced.
> "Will it be dangerous? Will they experiment on me?… No matter. I'm strong now. I won't be a fool anymore."
Clenching his fists, he set off toward the Association headquarters.

Meeting the Chairman
The doors to a grand chamber opened. Inside, Chairman Guo awaited, calm yet radiating authority.
> "Hello, Luo Shin. I hear you've achieved War God Form. Congratulations. With you, we now have a strong man. We need not fear monsters anymore."
Shin nodded slightly, cautious.
> "Will you work for the Cultivation Association? You will not be forced."
Shin's eyes flickered with curiosity.
> "Why should I join? What benefit would it give me?"
Chairman Guo chuckled, his voice calm but layered with hidden depth.
> "Hahaha… very well, let me tell you a secret. Tell me, what do you think—when did cultivation first appear?"
Shin tilted his head.
> "1 January 2026, right?"
Chairman Guo shook his head, smiling faintly.
> "Hahaha… no, cultivation did not appear on that date. It first appeared 200 years ago. Our space agency, NASA, ventured to Mars and then far beyond the Solar System. There, we discovered a strange, unknown energy on a distant planet we named OctaPlanet. We secretly relocated some of our people there for cultivation training."
Shin's eyes widened slightly.
> "Wait… you mean… there were cultivators long before the global Qi energy appeared?"
Chairman Guo nodded slowly, his gaze piercing.
> "Exactly. Don't underestimate them. Some of them were even Soul Formation Realm experts, and many higher than that. Some of them have returned to Earth, which is why the number of monsters has somewhat decreased in recenty.And in some days, more expert will come back to Earth.Then the monster tieds will solve. If All People in the Earth can cultivate the casualties would be minimum. But most of the people on Earth cannot cultivate naturally. Something beyond this universe is affecting the process—we simply do not know what."But i Think By The Time goes all people in the Earth will cultivate And We will become A Cultivation civilization.
Shin listened intently, absorbing every word.
> "And you… you are also an expert?"
> "Hahaha… yes. I have walked the path of cultivation for decades. Let me show you."

Qi Release
Without warning, Chairman Guo raised his hand. A wave of raw Qi energy burst outward. The room instantly became suffused with overwhelming force.
Shin struggled to breathe. His body was nearly crushed under the invisible pressure. Every muscle, every meridian burned as if his body was being torn apart.
> "I… I might die…?"
Gasping, Shin barely maintained his stance. His War God Form and Divine Ability flared instinctively, stabilizing him just enough to survive the moment.
Chairman Guo's calm voice echoed above the roaring energy:
> "This is only a brief demonstration. Imagine the level of cultivators we have guiding the Association… Earth's strongest forces are still far from realizing their true potential."
Shin's eyes burned with determination.
> "If they are this strong… then I need to become even stronger. No matter what happens, I will survive—no, I will rise beyond them all."
The room fell silent, save for Shin's ragged breathing. Outside, the world was still in chaos, but now a new player had entered the stage—fully aware of the stakes, fully determined to survive.
