Chapter 1160 Adepts Are Not Humans
“Bastard, you’re going down!”
Karin suddenly struck out after recovering this time.
Her lithe and agile figure flickered and appeared behind Greem. Two lightless daggers had appeared in her hands, which she thrust furiously at Greem’s spine.
Unfortunately, the blades had barely reached within three meters of Greem when they crashed into a layer of invisible flames. Her defensive forcefield was nothing before these flames and was burned to nothing in the blink of an eye.
Wen the flames spread to Karin’s body, she lifted her head and let out a cry of agony.
It hurt…it hurt so much…so incredibly painful.
It was almost as if all her magic resistance had vanished without a trace. In that instant, the golden fires burned her soul itself, even as they ravaged her body. The intense pain that shot from the depths of her soul was what thoroughly crushed Karin’s spirit!
Humans did not have sharp claws like wild beasts or wings for flight, as birds did. Humans became used to studying, always learning from species and creatures stronger than themselves.
The birth of the adepts could be traced to the ancient humans’ relentless studying and examination of the magical patterns found on powerful magical creatures!
When they carved similar patterns onto their bodies and the ground, they found that these patterns contained power, weak as it was. From then on, their progress could not be stopped, and the Adepts were born!
It was the problem of the adept’s origin that caused many powerful individuals among the adepts to start considering the matter of bloodline and talents.
From their perspective, abandoning the flawed human species and using the bloodline assimilation techniques researched by the adepts to create a more powerful species that best suited the path of adepts was probably an easier way of pushing the adepts forward and allowing for their continuous prosperity!
Moreover, this was no longer just a thought or an idea.
According to Greem’s understanding, the various adept organizations had already started similar experiments in the lesser planes they ruled.
There were so many adepts in space. Could they all have come from the World of Adepts?
Disregarding everything else, even the Third Grade adepts that had gone to Henvic Plane to hunt Greem were utterly unknown to him. Greem had not heard of their names in the World of Adepts at all.
Blade Princess Katherine, Psionic Benija, Poison Adept Guinevere, and the serpentine adept, Naguta. If these powerful adepts had come from the World of Adepts, Greem should not have failed to find any information on them at all, especially considering his identity and status.
After a long period of investigation, Greem finally realized the truth.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t find any information about them in the World of Adepts; it was that they had never been from the World of Adepts!
If those that walked out of the World of Adepts were pureblood adepts, then these adepts trained with the same cultivation system from the lesser planes would be inferior rag tags.
The World of Adepts was still the homeworld of the adepts, after all. The major adept organizations still held back with certain experiments and respected certain taboos. However, they became reckless and fearless when performing the same operations in their lesser planes.
It wasn’t hard to imagine the personalities of the adepts cultivated in such extreme environments!
If the high-grade adepts of the World of Adepts were all perverted and twisted in their own way, that was only relative to an ordinary human. Meanwhile, these ragtag adepts were not just twisted, but monsters in their own right.
Before reaching Fourth Grade and venturing to space, Greem had thought like most adepts in the World of Adepts. He had thought of himself as a genius amongst adepts, a protagonist of his own story, a man fated to become a great and powerful adept.
However, upon stepping out of the World of Adepts, he was shocked to find that the World of Adepts was not the only world of adepts!
There were hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of lesser planes throughout the galaxy continually pumping the adepts with fresh, new blood. Of these people who could step out of their planar worlds and assemble under the flag of the Great Adepts, who was not a genius in their own right in their own world?
Of course, if there was something that distinguished the World of Adepts from these lesser planes, it would be that since the birth of the world, there had been as many as three Ninth Grade Great Adepts that had emerged from the World of Adepts.
The World of Adepts itself was also a higher plane with complete planar laws and rich resources.
It was perhaps the only reason that the World of Adepts stood out amongst the countless planar worlds out there!
Alice couldn’t help but open her eyes wide in shock when she heard Greem claim that adepts were not humans! She anxiously spoke up, “Greem, do you also think that humans are suited as the origin for adepts?”
Greem smiled. He picked up Alice’s slender hand and rubbed it against his own face.
“Quite the contrary, Alice. I believe the opposite of what the others do. I am confident that humans should be the origin for all adepts! The adepts have already procured more than enough power. There needs to be a harness over this immense force to stop it from going out of control and coming to bite back on the adepts.”
“Why would you think so? Are there adepts that would regret the fact that they had too much power? Are the adepts not supposed to pursue power as their only goal?” Alice couldn’t help but be confused.
“Someone faraway contacted me today. They want to make a deal with me. Can you guess who it is?” Greem couldn’t help but rub his nose and smile bitterly.
Alice knew nothing about this before Greem spoke.
However, the moment Greem mentioned the issue, the vague information guided Alice, allowing shards of information to surge into her soul by her Fate powers. The incomplete image of an unusual creature slowly appeared in her mind.
“A lich…Lich Kanganas contacted you!” Alice couldn’t help but open her mouth wide in shock.
