"Would you accept to go and live somewhere else far from here?"
That quiet question instantly shocked many.
"L-Lord Ling... do you mean there are other settlements?" Long Cheng asked instantly when he understood this question.
Ling Tian had an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry but then shook his head and said, "Just call me Ling Tian, don't worry about the formalities... I really don't mind being called directly by my name."
Long Cheng nodded carefully. He felt no shame in treating Ling Tian with respect despite being the Lord of the City. Ling Tian had the power to kill him easily, so he was careful and respectful of him.
"Mmm, I am not completely sure, but I think the Star City should be the only place in this whole continent or world as you call it." Ling Tian answered Long Cheng's question.
"So what you mean about going to live somewhere else far away is...?" Tang Wei asked curiously.
They had all been warned by their own daughters about something Ling Tian would tell them, so they left what they were doing and came.
"I mean somewhere much further away... something that is not even in this world." Ling Tian slowly explained.
"It may be hard to believe, but there are other worlds besides where we are now."
Ling Tian's words again amazed everyone.
"As you can imagine, I am not from this place. The first people I met were the Lord of the City and his daughter. After that I had an accident and was unconscious for several days until Brother Shen found me outside the city at that moment." Ling Tian turned to see Mu Shen.
Mu Shen nodded and spoke at once: "It is true. I found Brother Tian near the ruins several miles away. That's when those horrible lightning bolts fell and then I went to see what happened... that's when I found Brother Tian in a critical situation. He was unconscious for several days. I still can't believe that he recovered so quickly afterwards." Mu Shen mumbled when he said the last thing as he could not believe the speed of Ling Tian's recovery.
Now with the new cultivation experience, his mind began to witness new things, so he would slowly come to understand more.
"What I have to tell you is about something important that involves you all directly or indirectly." Ling Tian immediately spoke up.
Ling Tian turned to Yun Mengxin with a soft smile and then said, "Because I have found my lifelong companions in this place, I now have to tell you something about myself."
Everyone was listening carefully to what Ling Tian was saying. Their minds were slowly understanding the information.
"I am not of this world, therefore, I would prefer that they come with me, but since they have family here I do not want to separate them from them, so I would also have to count on the presence of all of you now.
I know that you have been living in this City for generations, fighting day and night against the demonic beasts. Your roots are here and I understand that. However...
I would really like you all to come with us. That way, Mengxin, Wanying and little Shuiruo wouldn't be sad to be separated from their families."
Ling Tian continued to speak soon after, hoping that everyone would understand his words.
"The place where I come from is very different from here.
There are wonderful places.
Wonderful things.
People can fly in the skies freely.
One can move the waves of the sea in one movement.
When you become strong, you can even split the clouds by shaking your hands.
There are many wonderful and amazing things you could do.
The advantage of your coming with me would be that you would no longer have to constantly face fights against demonic beasts, since they do not exist there and, if they did, they would be eliminated immediately.
The disadvantage now, would be that you would no longer have to face the demonic beasts, but the people.
In that place, they can kill you because you didn't show them respect, because they covet your woman, because they saw that you had a good quality sword, because they want your house or your mansion, or just because they want to take your things away from you.
But, if you become stronger, no one will ever bother you, they will even fear you and respect you wherever you go.
In that world, strength and power is everything."
Ling Tian finished speaking slowly.
Everyone was amazed at Ling Tian's confession.
Wasn't it a world of true Gods?
"Young Ling, this world you speak of... are they true Gods?" Zhang Chao asked with his eyes wide open.
Ling Tian shook his head and said, "We are not really Gods, we are cultivators and we practice something similar to what you do."
Zhang Chao slowly nodded.
"So as long as we are very strong, no one can bother us?" Yun Dong asked shortly thereafter. He had been interested in this world, and if his daughter wanted to follow Ling Tian, he would agree to go too.
"Of course. In that place the strongest are always respected and even worshipped." Ling Tian nodded in recognition of Yun Dong.
"What do you think of our strength? Can we defend ourselves in that place?" Long Cheng asked again.
"Your strength is at its lowest." Ling Tian shook his head: "Just as you classify your strength in ranks, we classify it in another way."
"So how strong would we be at that place?" Tang Wei asked.
"If we take into account the rank here, all of you without exception would not even reach the Bronze rank." Ling Tian immediately replied, "Even less. Only one move of a finger they could kill all of you."
What?!
They wouldn't even reach Bronze rank?!
"Ling Tian, what level of strength do you have in that place?" Tang Wei asked again.
"I'm currently between Bronze and Silver rank." Ling Tian said without thinking. In the Immortal World, an Immortal could easily kill him, unless he lifted his seal and released his strength.
Once again, everyone was stunned.
This young man who was so powerful and killed countless powerful demonic beasts was not so strong in the other world?
Yun Mengxin felt a little pain in her heart for Ling Tian and his current condition. Only she knew the true power that Ling Tian had before.
"So how could we live in that place?" Tang Jingtian curiously asked, "Wouldn't we be in a lot of trouble?"
"I can assure you that you can live well until you become strong enough to do whatever you want. I will support you with resources so that you can become stronger than you are now." Ling Tian nodded to Tang Jingtian and went on to say, "I have some friends who are more powerful than I am now and they could protect you without any problem."
"Mmm, they are currently between the Legend and the Divine rank of that world, so to speak." Ling Tian remembered his two best friends in the Immortal World. He was sure that both of them would protect all of them.
Everyone wondered how powerful those friends of Ling Tian's were who were stronger than he was.
"Brother, what if we waited here for you to become stronger, just as we too before we went to that world." Mu Shen asked with some concern, "Then we wouldn't be so dependent on other people and wouldn't have any trouble getting there."
"Unfortunately, I cannot wait long, and neither can we do what you say." Ling Tian denied with his head before continuing.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "I really don't plan to stay here long, as I need to get back to that world as soon as I can because I have some little children there that I have been taking care of for a long time, as if they were my own family.
... I had a problem with someone powerful and I'm worried about them, that they would do anything to them. Besides the fact that I am also their only family they have.
They are the only family I have now and I don't want to lose them."
Ling Tian looked at the sky for a few seconds remembering his disciples from the Immortal World and then continued.
"Besides, if we wait until we get stronger we won't make much progress. It would be better if you would increase your strength there.
If here it takes you a minimum of 30 years to reach Emperor or Legend rank, then it would take you less than a week to even reach Divine rank if you started from scratch at that place."
The words spoken by Ling Tian were like thunder rumbling in everyone's head.
Reach Divine rank in less than a week?
Was that possible?!
Ling Tian looked at everyone for a long time as they tried to digest the information before asking.
"So... what is your decision?"
