Master Of None

Chapter 2422: 2422. New Unity

While the calming down of the entire city was not quick, there was a lot more that people began to discuss.

The ideas of different cultures’ funeral rites and how to handle the dead of others in battle or outside of battle sparked a lot of conversations. Specifically, it came to the dragons and dragonkin.

Some dragons were different because of their affinities and the environments that they lived. Fire dragons preferred to be left to the magma of wherever they had lived, while the earth dragon preferred to be left deep in caves. This was to return to the elemental manas that they had the highest affinities for.

Rise surprised others by explaining that she and the other light dragons would naturally like their dragonkin to use their bodies as materials to become stronger. It was shocking to hear that right out since Walker believed that this conversation had gone in to something that would cause issues.

Many people had used groan materials, not just shed scales or broken off horns or teeth. They had been taken from young rogue dragons or the found bodies of dragons out in the wilderness and used to be crafted in to items. This has gone on with various races for years and could easily be seen as disrespectful or cruel in some ways.

However, no dragon believed that to be the case. Simply put, they saw themselves as the top predators. Meaning, that if they were hunting and fighting to take food from all others, why would they halt the weaker beings from consuming their dead in some way shape or form to continue living? That would be against nature.

The echidna were the same. While they believed that natural mana and nature was always flowing, they also believed that the bodies of their deceased needed to return to nature through some means. Some would have scales on their skin that could help enhance the understanding of natural mana and were made in to items used during the raising of a child to help them grasp natural mana better.

A shocking thing to those like the dwarves who believed a burial in the deepest of caves or by flame was the proper send off. Their entire race had been grown underground and in forging, naturally they would believe that this method was a natural way to take a proper step toward anything related to moving from life in to whatever was next.

When the demi-humans and the elves spoke, they found that they were almost identical. While the demi-humans believed fighting to the death was a greater honor and the elves believed a death in peace after attaining a unique understanding of manas or nature within themselves was important, both believed the body should be used in specific ways.

They both had the thoughts that the body should nourish the land around it. Allow for plants or crops to grow better and become the base of the future to grow. This was a little shocking since the two methods of death were so different in their ideal goals, however, their beliefs of what happens to the body afterwards actually brought them together.

The ideas that a sacred farm grounds should be made was already being written up. An idea that it would be a respected plot of land used for burials of this sort which would grow the most important staple food to help nourish entire generations. Pass on everything naturally to the next generation.

All of this was a stunning way to learn from one another and many of these methods were being shared by the information guild. It brought out the similarities and also the more in depth views of each race as certain high remembers of their races were interviewed. Not only did Walker feel he was able to understand the people better, he believed that they had learned something valuable.

They had all been in a state of unrest and fear just the day before. Felt that their homes were at risk. Yet, now they found new ways to forge new bonds and become even closer. Uniting the various races while proof that these various races were becoming one was showing every day.

No laws about marriage between races being illegal had been made. The Genesis council even went so far to make it clear that any unions would be supported between any races. Monster races were not ignored in their desires. They were intelligent and had the same rights as everyone else.

He felt that this step towards understanding one another was proof that their societies were becoming more one than anything else. That, and the general fears of other kingdoms had actually increased the numbers of people moving to Genesis.

As much as Walker and the other leaders wanted to stop this from happening, a new stance was taken after a longer discussion.

Some would have thought that they were crazy for wanting the peoples of the kingdoms that came together to help create Genesis not to move there. But the reasoning was simple, Genesis was growing so quickly that they needed to have some room to keep the developmental projects going. The storage for materials and other things needed to be kept in multiple areas and if the rate of new people continued to grow, the spaces for that would be gone sooner.

They couldn’t build enough homes fast enough with the limited materias they had. Therefore, the idea for a new project came across the table for the meeting. That would allow for better teleportation abilities across the continents to the Sigil continent.

The idea to create another city on the other continent was already there. The angels also preferred to keep their floating cities since they were so deeply rooted within their culture. At the same time, Genesis was already beginning to help rebuild and establish multiple angel villages, some of which had residents of other races now living within them.

The positives seen from that had changed many of the younger angel’s minds to allow their bonds with Genesis to grow. The older angels who had more stubborn opinions could not do too much to stop the future from coming no matter how much they preached or argued. The future was there and they had to handle it accordingly.

Hence, the angel representatives on the Genesis council approved the second city project. A city built with the angels as the focal point on the grounds of the Sigil continent. Allowing for the wyvern race there to be respected more in the building of new homes while also allowing for the peoples of Genesis to spread out and assist with reclaiming the continent.

This would speed up the fact that the continent had many unknowns after the world had expanded again. Beyond that, it also meant that there would be a massive amount of space to live in. a perfect way to ensure that growth was possible.

Beyond that, the angels also made it clear that they wanted help finding and protecting the fallen floating cities of the past. Something that Walker and the other council members had immediately agreed to since they had already vowed to assist with that in the first place.

A major announcement to say the least for those that had not expected the chances to be able to go out and live on another continent. It had been hatred so far for people to fully grasp the actual size of the world and the reality that the other continent existed.

Then again, there were theories of other continents out there in the vast oceans. No one had proof but since the floating ships were being made and the entirety of Genesis supporting the water faring and floating ship projects, explorations would only increase.

That was the same with the merfolk within to explore the deep oceans. Not only to rediscover abandoned ancient merfolk cities that may still partially remain down there, but also to grow their homes. To ensure that the oceans did not hold any surprises like the lands above.

All of these topics had been discussed leaving Walker’s head feeling like it would burst. But it was well worth it. The fear that came with the undead shifting slime had brought out so much conversation that would grow and unify all the races of Genesis.

”I believe that is enough for today. We have been here speaking for seventeen hours. I feel that we should focus on one final matter and be done for the time being.” A representative of the vampire race speaking for them since they were working on their race’s private matter recently and had left to excavate more from their ruins spoke up. ”I wish to request help gathering items from an ancient vampire city we know is located near the demi-human kingdom. It should be buried under the ground by now, but still there.”
