Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Philip and Sam sat down in Samʼs room. They are both holding some freshly crushed fruit juice with some ice in it.

They didnʼt speak for a long time as they sat on the floor and looked at the scenery of the city from the floor to ceiling window.

They are absorbing the majestic beauty of the city that Sam created in six months.

After more than half-an-hour of silence, Philip finally spoke.

”When are we leaving?”

Even though he didnʼt mention any specifics, Sam understood, there is the only place they have to go now and that is to the Beast faction.

”There is more, than six major powers to the vicinities of the central continent.” Philip continued after taking a sip.

”There are basically five major continents, six countries, six archipelagos and ten large islands on this planet which are discovered and explored or being explored by the humans.

In them, the central continent is the largest of all and the beasts rule the land.

Around the central continent, there are six archipelagos that are occupied by the six major powers, and the twelve large islands are occupied by eight minor powers and the four major professions.

Although the four major professions are powerful, they donʼt have much territory, rather they have some camps in the central continent from which they gather resources.

Apart from that, there are some small islands which are occupied by some minor professions like seers.

Apart from the central continent, the remaining four out of the five major continents are not that significant when we compare the resources. That is why the major powers didnʼt show much importance to these continents.

They are namely, northern, western, southern, and eastern continents.

As you know, now the western continent has the only country, but the remaining continents are pretty divided and have no less than three empires.

There are six countries that are scattered near the continents. They are also large islands, but they are classified as countries for some reason.

As for the six major powers, they are namely, Thunder-god temple, Lightning Spear sect, Thunder-bolt sect, The beast faction, Usaine Sect, The Garden.

The thunder god temple, the lightning spear sect, and the thunder-bolt sect are once only lightning cultivatorsʼ sects, but later, they started accepting others too.

The Garden is a sect that is mostly focused on the wood elemental users and there are some herb experts, pill masters, potion masters in them and they have quite a sway in the pharmaceutical tower.

The Usaine Sect is a sect that is quite diverse and has all types of cultivators, but they have numerous artisans, formation masters, and inscription masters. They do have some influence on these three major professional associations, but they wouldnʼt involve in the operations of these towers.

The beast faction.

This is the only faction that involves too much with the beasts in the central continent.

The beast faction has some allies from the beast tribes in the central continents, they are neutral beasts which are not hostile towards humans and donʼt mingle with other beast tribes that attack humans and are in constant wars with the human powers.

That is mainly because they cultivate in Beast warrior arts.”

Sam was surprised when he heard that, he is almost thinking that the beast warrior arts are extinct in this world, as he couldnʼt find a single record on the beast warrior arts.

Even though Watt noticed that they are beast warriors in their previous battles, he didnʼt get to talk with them about that and hence doesnʼt know the details. So, he was quite surprised.

But Philip didnʼt notice his expression and went on with his explanation.

”They will have a beast companion since their birth and they would make a pact with the beast and they will always fight together. They are actually, quite powerful. But this also made them hostile with some beast tribes as they disliked the fact, they are using the methods to brainwash some cubs since they are born and forcefully making them coexist with the cultivators instead of the cultivator gaining the beastʼs approval.

The beast faction is essentially made of four families and each family had a different approach regarding the beast cultivation.

One of them believed to gain the beastʼs approval, one of the forces the beast and makes it act like a puppet, one of them injects the bloodline directly without any pact or contract, and last one of them relies on taming.

There was an internal conflict among them approximately twenty years ago and since then their relationsh.i.p.s have been rough. But when facing enemies, they are actually quite united.”

Philip chugged down the juice in his glass and took a deep breath before saying.

”I actually donʼt belong to the Western continent and certainly not to the Evergreen family.

I was born in the Usaine Sect.

My father used to be a great artisan who is quite adept at making puppets.

But he is not from any of the prestigious factions which are formed within the Sect and always maintained a neutral stand.

I was raised in that place for eleven years. In all the six major powers, every child will be enrolled in education at the age of four.

They would have to study various knowledge related to cultivation, trades, the history of their own organization, their enemies and usage of elements, and so on.

It also includes quite some brainwashing along with the education so that their younger generations would be loyal to the organization and clearly contain a deep-rooted hatred for their enemies.

My father doesnʼt have much presence within the organization as he wouldnʼt involve himself with the activities and operations of the organization.

Anyway, he joined it as a common disciple. He would create weapons, puppets, and some other things customized for the core disciples.

But everything changed one day when my father found something on the central continent.

It was something like a treasure box that couldnʼt be open. It works based on a puzzle and my father was fascinated by the mechanism.

When he started doing research and going through the ancient records, he found little information, there are no exact details except for the fact it is mysterious and there are some secrets that can be revealed.

I donʼt know, how the a.d.u.l.ts in the major powers think. But they will link the word mysterious to the treasure and one of the Grand elders of the sect just wanted to keep the box to himself and thatʼs it.

My father was poisoned, but the person wasnʼt able to find out the box as it was with me. I just wanted to play a prank on my father by hiding it for a night and that was the same night my father died.

My mother doesnʼt know that it was due to that box, but that grand elder was after our lives.

We didnʼt know where to go as we were isolated. He seemed to have put his Grand elder status for good use. We didnʼt even get a chance to ask for help.

My mother desperately ran away with me and we arrived at the space gates. Usage of any space gate would lead them to our location.

So, my mother chose a different way. Just like how the people from the six major powers came to find us, she opted for a one-way space gate. She destroyed her cultivation and activated some inscriptions to set the space gate to a random location and we arrived at the Western Continent.

The Grand elder couldnʼt use the same space gate as his cultivation is too high. And since my mother didnʼt even select some coordinates he couldnʼt find the exact location.

I only knew all of this after I read my fatherʼs diary which I hid away from the box.

I still have the box with me. Every time, I see it, I will be reminded of my fatherʼs death.

I wanted to be an artisan like my father, but I didnʼt have enough courage to take the final step to learn.”

Philip finished this and heaved a sigh of relief, although he didnʼt go into full details, this counted as him telling his past and he felt a weight lifted off of his chest.

Sam didnʼt feel particularly emotional. There is no use in being emotional. If being emotional could solve things, Sam had cried for hundreds of hours in his previous life.

After learning that crying couldnʼt solve anything, he decided to value his tears more.

Of course, he was sad for Philipʼs past. He doesnʼt need much thought to know what might have happened to Philipʼs mother, she destroyed her cultivation forcefully which might have brought harmful effects to her internal organs, and could have died. He didnʼt want to ask.

But there are also other thoughts in his mind.

”Do you know Sirona?” Sam asked in a low tone.

Suddenly, Philip was stunned.

”How do you know her?” Philip asked in surprise.
