Chapter 179 Transcending Mortality



\'Transcendent?\'

Hearing the term for the first time, Nathan turned his gaze at the King with a confused look.

Nathan wanted to ask him what he meant by his words.

Since the moment the King put away the pressure he was emitting, the hostility that he was showing has also disappeared for some reason.

Because of that, albeit still wary, Nathan felt that the King doesn\'t plan to do anything with him for the time being.

For that reason, the thought of asking the King directly also crossed his mind.

But reason still got the better of him and he decided to keep his mouth shut.

However, even without him saying it, the King was still able to see what\'s on his mind.

Seeing the confused look in his eyes, the King suddenly said, "Oh? It seems like you don\'t know what a transcendent is, huh."

Since the King had already seen through his thoughts, Nathan did not bother hiding it and nodded his head.

The King smiled, "I like that you\'re honest."

"Anyway," he rubbed his chin, pieces of stones fell to the ground.

Without minding that, he continued, "[Transcendent] is the stage after the [Energy Gathering] stage, the stage you are currently in right now."

"It is called Transcendent because after reaching this stage, you will be shedding your mortal skin and will become an existence that a mortal won\'t be able to compare."

"Be it hundreds or even thousands of mortals at the peak of [Energy Gathering] stage, they won\'t be able to go against a new [Transcendent]."

The King crossed his arms in front of him and looked in the direction where Nathan is at.

More precisely, at the Spark a few distance away from him.

Then he continued, "And to become a [Transcendent], one must first reach the peak of the [Energy Gathering] stage just like you and then, absorb the Spark of a heavenly body, just like this Earth."

Moving his eyes, he turned his gaze at Nathan, "Did you understand my explanation?"

Nathan nodded.

"That\'s good," King said, "But how could you not know something as simple as this?"

He had a thoughtful look and continued, "I remember that I have already taught about it to humans before…"

Turning his eyes back at Nathan, he asked, "Boy, tell me, how long has it been since the Demon\'s invaded?"

"The Demon Invasion?" When Nathan heard that, he immediately remembered the story that the Miracle Tree had told him before.

Nathan has heard from the [Miracle Tree] that the demons have invaded Earth in the past.

But it was unsuccessful because the Miracle Tree has helped with fighting against them, which in the end, made the demons retreat back into their Demon World.

The Miracle Tree did not say much about it and Nathan is clueless about a lot of things regarding it.

For its details how long it lasted, when it happened, or the process of fighting against them, Nathan doesn\'t know.

That\'s why, he can only stand there, not knowing how to answer the question thrown at him.

In the end, Nathan\'s eyes lit up as he thought of something.

He looked at the King sitting hundreds of meters away from him and said, "I don\'t know, but I know someone who knows a lot about it."

An interested look appeared on the King\'s face.

"Oh, really? Then, care to bring whoever that is here?"

"That… I don\'t think that\'s possible." Said Nathan, scratching the back of his head with unsure expression.

Just after Nathan finished his words, the atmosphere in the room changed all of a sudden.

The King narrowed his eyes as he looked at Nathan and spoke with a deep voice.

"Ho~ There is still someone in this world who dares to act boldly and refuse my words right in front of me?"

"Kukh!"

The heavy pressure from before fell into Nathan again.

He looked at the King and with gritted teeth, he said, "N-no! Ugh! Let me explain! Kukh!"

The King just stared at him and the both of them looked at each other\'s eyes for a few seconds.

Finally, just as Nathan was about to lose from the pressure, it disappeared.

"Kukh! Damnit! Haa… haa…"

Nathan started panting hard as he once again tried to catch his breath.

After about a minute, he has finally recovered.

At this time, the King opened his mouth and spoke again.

"It seems you have enough rest, Boy. Now then, tell me, what is it that you want to say?"

He placed his elbows on the armrest and supported his head with his hand as he gazed at Nathan.

Although the pressure has already been lifted, with the eyes of the King fixated on him, Nathan still feels some sort of pressure from it.

Taking a deep breath, Nathan forced himself to calm down.

Facing the King, Nathan said, "Earlier, I said that I don\'t think it\'s possible for the \'person\' I know to come here."

"The reason for that is that, the one I was talking about who knows of the demon invasion and such is not a human, but a tree."

"A tree?"

"Yes, it\'s the [Miracle Tree]!"

Once the name of the tree came out of Nathan\'s mouth, the King froze with his eyes wide open.

After a few seconds, he stood up with a bang and suddenly appeared in front of Nathan.

"Did you just say the [Miracle Tree]!?" He asked with a shocked voice.

Nathan was startled by the sudden appearance of the King in front of him.

\'Damn… he\'s huge!\'

Nathan immediately noticed the size of the King in front of him which is a few times more than his own size.

Shaking his head, Nathan saw the face of the King that was full of excitement, staring right through him.

He retreated a few steps before replying.

"U-uh, yeah. That\'s what I just said."

With Nathan\'s confirmation, the King asked, "Does that mean that you know where that bit- that [Miracle Tree] is?"

"Yes, of course!"
