Chapter 342
Chapter 342 Dreams of the Galaxy
Apprentices were the bedrock of a clan’s continued development.
Only a proper and functional system that raised capable adepts could provide clans with qualified cannon fodder.
Indeed, First Grade adepts barely qualified as soldiers when it came to planar wars, the most crucial aspect of any clan’s development. They were the primary force that charged to the frontlines of every conflict. They were the cannon fodder that a clan needed to rely on to expand.
Adepts needed the resources from planar wars in order to compensate for the limited resources in the World of Adepts. It was only in doing so that organizations could cultivate all-powerful individuals that were capable of venturing outside of the world and exploring the galaxy.
As one of the few large and developed planes of the multiverse, the World of Adepts had one of the most resource-rich and biologically diverse realms amongst the other planes. However, its vast lands and bountiful resources were still insufficient for the needs of the ever-expanding adept population.
It didn’t matter how vast the world was; it would never be enough.
The World of Disaster was one such example!
It didn’t matter how well-prepared she thought she was. The moment Alice stepped into the Tower of Fate, her life would no longer be within her control.
The rise of the Witches of Fate was a consequence of the unstoppable planar law forces.
In the end, the Witch of Fate was only a host and representative for the powers of fate. Fate didn’t want the strongest or the most powerful, but the most compatible!
Who would be the one chosen by fate?
No one knew for sure.
Even Greem had no guarantees that she would be the one to live, despite all that he had done for her.
The upcoming Battle of Fate was a real battle of life and death!
Alice was only twenty-three years of age currently. It was already decent that she hadn’t gone mad from the pressure that she was facing right now. The immense pressure that was death hung before her eyes.
A such, Greem was not upset at Alice’s adventures for the past few years. Nor was he upset at her mingling with the apprentices, or her playing around. There was just sympathy.
If she lost in this Battle of Fate, Greem would lose ten years of his time and an uncountable amount of resources, but Alice herself would pay with her life!
As such, Greem had no intention of interfering with how Alice had intended to spend these last eight years of her life. As long as she was smart and still valued her own life, she wouldn’t truly waste away these years.
The chance had already been provided to Alice, and now it was up to her to grab it!
That said, much of what was to unfold still depended on ‘fate’!
The matter of the Battle of Fate had made Greem choose to remain within the adept’s tower. He had been focusing on his research into the secrets of the multiverse as he waited for the day of the battle to arrive. Greem was already on the verge of despair when it came to the improvement of his own power.
“Chip, display my current bodily attributes!”
“Beep. Order received. Self-examination in process……”
Soon, Greem’s attributes projected in his mind.
Greem
Human (half-elementiumized), Male
First Grade Adept
Attributes: Strength 2.8 | Agility 1.3 | Physique 3.9 | Spirit 7
Condition: Healthy.
Seven years! After seven years of arduous meditation, his Spirit had only increased from 6.3 to 7. He was no longer able to feel any increase in his Spirit ever since he reached 7 points.
It was like his current Spirit had reached a threshold. He was no longer able to improve by even an inch.
Greem finally found the fundamental reason for the difficulty in improvement after reading through numerous books within the clan.
His elementiumization was incomplete!
Right now, he had only completed his bodily elementiumization. The progress of his spirit elementiumization was going incredibly slowly.
The lagging of his spirit elementiumization was what burdened his Spirit’s improvement.
That said, seven years of time had still allowed him to slowly get accustomed to the Flame Fiend’s Heart sealed in his chest. His current skill was able to draw out all the might of the Flame Fiend’s Heart. Greem didn’t need to be concerned about pollution as long as he kept the unsealed time under thirty minutes.
This improvement was one of the most significant reasons why Greem was willing to ‘lend’ the Tyrant to Alice!
