Scene:
Inside a room, R. Kizu, Precious, Bit, and Lin are present and talking.
Lin:
"His name is Hao Wuchen, which means 'Untouched by the mortal world.' He is the ancestor of cultivation, the one who created this cultivation ability, and the only person who achieved the God Realm… the most underestimated man, Hao Wuchen."
Precious:
"And he is the one who was summoned into this world… with the ability of cultivation?"
Lin:
"Yes…" (nods)
Precious:
"I see… and yeah, what about beasts?"
Lin:
"Hm… beasts… their system is also different. Our beast system is completely different from the rest of the world."
R. Kizu:
"Yes, in the world the beast rarity system is:
NORMAL < RARE < EPIC < MYTHICAL < LEGENDARY < KING < DIVINE < DEITY
So what is the rarity system of beasts in the Cult Kingdom?"
Lin:
"First of all, in the Cult Kingdom, there is no rarity system."
Bit:
"?? What do you mean?"
Lin:
"I mean that the world's rarity system for beasts is not used here. In the outside world, beasts remain at the tier they are born into until death. Their bloodline determines their tier permanently. For example, a legendary beast will remain legendary whether it is strong or weak, and a common beast will remain common regardless of its power.
But this system does not exist in the Cult Kingdom. Because the beasts in my kingdom evolve. That's why instead of a rarity system, we have a system called Bloodline Evolution."
Precious:
"And what happens in that? Like, beasts evolve? Do they also cultivate?"
Lin:
"Exactly right. Beasts have their own cultivation system. Their stages are:
WILD BEAST
< AWAKENED BEAST
< CORE BEAST
< SPIRIT BEAST
< BLOODLINE BEAST
< SOVEREIGN BEAST
< ORIGIN BEAST
< CELESTIAL BEAST
< EMPEROR BEAST
< MYTH ORIGIN BEAST
And the last four stages — Origin Beast, Celestial Beast, Emperor Beast, and Myth Origin Beast — each have levels from 1 to 9."
R. Kizu:
"Wow… I didn't know that beasts in the Cult Kingdom have such a different system compared to the rest of the world…"
Lin:
"Yes!"
Scene:
Lin smiles proudly and somewhat arrogantly.
Lin:
"And not just that. Beasts also have 7 hidden forms, which unlock after the Myth Origin Beast stage. However, even breaking through the first form takes a lot of time, and success is not guaranteed. If they succeed, they gain immense power and a new form. But if they fail, they die. This applies to all 7 forms. That's why there are no levels here—because breakthroughs are extremely dangerous and often result in death."
Precious:
"I see… I see… but what are those 7 hidden forms? And how does the breakthrough happen?"
Lin:
"For the first 10 stages, beasts must absorb energy into their bodies, which takes a lot of time. Due to limits, some cannot progress further. But those who reach Myth Origin Beast move to the hidden forms:
BASE FORM
< AWAKENED FORM
< TRUE FORM
< NIRVANA FORM
< REBIRTH FORM
< ASCENDED FORM
< ETERNAL FORM
These forms have no levels, and breaking through each one is nearly impossible. After Myth Origin Beast, they must achieve these forms, but failure means death.
If we talk about how many beasts achieve these forms—
99% don't even get the chance.
Out of the remaining 1%, only 10–15% reach the Base Form.
And among those, only about 0.1% reach the final Eternal Form.
So you can understand how difficult it is."
Precious:
"Hmm… it really is hard."
R. Kizu:
"I never imagined beasts in the Cult Kingdom had such conditions…"
Bit:
"But you still didn't explain how the breakthroughs for those 7 hidden forms work."
Lin:
"The 7 hidden forms awaken automatically. If successful, the beast gains power and a new form. If they fail, they die.
There is another method—by consuming a Beast Spiritual Essence (also called a Core). By eating it, these 7 hidden forms can also be unlocked."
Precious:
"Oh-ho…" (nods)
Precious (thinking):
"As I said, every world has its own rules. So in this universe, VELUNARRA, the rules are different. I don't know about other galaxies, but on this planet Elaria, this is the system."
Bit:
"This is truly a life-or-death risk…"
Lin:
"That's exactly what makes the Cult Kingdom special."
Precious:
"But you didn't explain about yourself. Like, how does your cultivation work? And why does cultivation exist only in the Cult Kingdom? Why do only your beasts have this evolution system?"
Lin (thinking):
"He wants to know everything? No problem, I'll tell him. It's not like this information needs to be hidden."
Lin:
"First, let's talk about the human cultivation system. I've already explained the stages and levels. As for awakening—not everyone can do it. Many people in the Cult Kingdom are still unawakened because the first awakening requires a huge amount of energy to be absorbed into the body.
Once the requirement is fulfilled, the first awakening happens, which is Qi Condensation Realm Level 1. That is the beginning of cultivation.
Each level takes more time than the previous one. It's not easy. For example, someone at Immortal Realm Level 4 (early stage) may take years to reach mid or peak stage—and might even die before reaching it."
R. Kizu:
"And you are a Divine King Realm cultivator… wow!"
Scene:
Lin ignores R. Kizu and continues speaking.
Lin:
"Every cultivator has a limit where they get stuck, and breaking through it is very difficult. I am at Divine King Realm Level 14 (peak stage), and I've been stuck here for a long time without progress.
Also, every sect has its own cultivation method. The more energy someone can gather and the more they can break their limit, the higher they rise.
The same applies to awakening—when a normal person gathers more energy than their limit, they can begin cultivation."
Precious:
"I see… and why does cultivation exist only in the Cult Kingdom? And why do only your beasts have this evolution?"
Lin:
"In the beginning, none of this existed. But when Hao Wuchen came to this world, he transformed a small land and infused it with his energy. That energy spread across a vast area—that area is now the Cult Kingdom.
Beasts that absorbed this energy gained their evolutionary forms and stages. Hao Wuchen also taught humans cultivation methods, which continue to this day.
And the place where Wuchen first infused his energy still exists."
Bit:
"! Where is it?"
Lin:
"In the lower-left side of the Cult Kingdom, there is a desert. Somewhere inside that desert is a small jungle. At the center of that jungle is a lake—that lake is the source of this energy.
It is said that the energy inside it is so vast that even a Divine King Realm Level 15 cultivator would need at least 15 years to absorb it fully."
Lin and R. Kizu:
"…"
Lin:
"And not just that—there is also an artifact deep inside that lake, guarded by a Sovereign Beast. If you want, I can give you the location so you can claim it."
Bit:
"Yes… sure."
Precious:
"Later… tell me something else. Do you merge beast body parts into your own body?"
Lin:
"Oh, that… I didn't expect you to know that. Yes, we call it Beast Integration. In this, a person can absorb a part of a beast's body. That body part may accept or reject the host. It takes time, but if accepted, the user gains that part's power and can use it. That's all."
Precious:
"I see…"
Precious (thinking):
"Beast Integration may not sound powerful, but those who know it understand how strong it actually is…"
Bit:
"Now tell us the artifact's location and details."
Lin:
"No problem…"
Lin (thinking):
"It's been there for a long time anyway. If they go, either the beast will kill them, or they will kill the beast—either way, it benefits me."
Lin:
"About 30–40 km from the right border of the Cult Kingdom and Green Land Jungle, there is a desert around 50 km wide. Somewhere inside it is a small jungle about 100 meters in area.
At the center is a lake about 10–15 meters wide on the surface, but underground it is much larger—around 2 km in size and 1 km deep. That's where the Sovereign Beast guards the artifact."
Precious:
"And what does the artifact do? What does it look like?"
Lin:
"It's a bracelet with small sharp spikes inside. It is golden in color, but I don't know its material. Its power is unique—it grants 3 transformations depending on the user.
The spikes enter the user's body and veins, helping the bracelet understand the user. From there, transformation occurs."
Bit:
"What kind of transformations?"
Lin:
"! I already said—it depends on the user…"
Bit:
"But still, any idea of its power?"
Lin:
"-_-!! …Yes… According to a story, the user gains three forms:
FANG MODE
SAVAGE MODE
TYRANT MODE
In each mode, the user's power increases, and their body changes slightly."
Bit:
"I see… but we don't need this…"
Lin:
"No, no! Consider it a gift from me for what my people did to your soldiers."
R. Kizu (thinking):
"A gift… that we have to risk our lives to obtain…"
Precious:
"Okay, fine… we will take that gift. But my little brother will come to claim it."
Lin:
"! Sure, no problem!"
Lin (thinking):
"That's enough… someone from the royal family will die…"
R. Kizu (thinking):
"What are you doing, Lord Precious?!"
Bit:
"Precious, what are you doing?!"
Precious:
"Uncle Bit, just trust Lior. He can do it."
Lin:
"Then I will take my leave. I hope everything is clear now."
Precious:
"Yes…"
Scene:
Lin, Precious, and Bit stand up and leave, while Lin remains seated there.
