[Bonus chapter] Old Cultivators (2)
They were not against Aron's orders and they were even willing to acknowledge Ajax as their new leader because as the direct descendant of the Ancestor, Ajax could directly gain that position.
Of course, the moment the cultivators feel that Ajax was not worthy, then, they won't give the respect. In short, it would be in Ajax's hands to whether he could maintain his status as the leader or not.
'Huh? Moving out of the world?'
Suddenly, the old cultivators were pleasantly surprised to hear Ajax's words.
It's been nearly 10000 years since they lived in this Secret World and they were a little excited about leaving the world.
Nevertheless, a small portion of their hearts were reluctant to leave their world because they have grown fond of the world after living for 10000 years in it.
If there were enough resources in the world, the old cultivators might have hesitated in leaving the Secret World; however, they knew that it won't be long before this world dies.
Moreover, if they stay back in the world, without any cultivation resources, they would move much faster than the world.
"Yes, Young Master Ajax."
Nevertheless, the old cultivators didn't hesitate much as they directly agreed with Ajax's words and were ready to leave the Secret World.
"Brother Ren, can you bring them to the Five Elemental World? I have something to do in this world."
Nodding his head at the old cultivators, Ajax asked Ren.
Previously, he used to call him Elder Ren; however, Ren requested Ajax to just call him 'Brother' and even though Ren was nearly 8000 years old, Ajax decided to call him Brother.
'Swoosh'
While he was asking Ren, a huge portal connecting to the Five Elemental World appeared in front of Ajax.
"Yes, Brother Ajax."
Ren looked at Aron's soul orb for a moment and nodded his head.
Soon, he brought the 100 old cultivators with him to the Five Elemental World.
"Father, I will extract the world core of this world before going back. Do you want to take a look around the world before that?"
After sending them away, Ajax asked his father.
Since it was his father's Secret World, Ajax thought that his father could take one last look around the world before once he retrieved the world core, the entire world would be destroyed.
"I don't have much connection with this world. So, it's alright! Do what you are planning to do."
Aron said the truth as he asked Ajax to retrieve the world core.
"Okay."
Nodding his head, Ajax sat cross-legged and with a single thought, he entered the core realm of the Secret World.
'This is the core realm?'
Until now, Ajax had entered many core realms belonging to the smaller worlds, normal worlds and even the Greater Worlds; however, it was the first time he had seen such a core realm where there was no essence of nature whatsoever.
As far as Ajax knew, a core realm would have the purest essence of nature compared to the surface of the world because the entire world runs with this purest essence of nature.
However, right now, the core realm didn't have anything; instead, it felt like Ajax's Divine Spirit Consciousness was leaving his body as though it was being absorbed by some mysterious force.
'It looks like I should take the world core and leave the core realm as soon as possible.'
Ajax could tell that this core realm was very hungry and when it sensed Ajax's pure Divine Essence of Nature, it could not hold itself back.
Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried too much about it because the rate at which the Divine Essence of Nature left his body was not much and he could retrieve the world core in less than a minute.
'Swoosh'
'Ding,
Congratulations to the host for gaining a Greater World Core.
Greater World Cores: 6.
By the time Ajax lost his two units of Divine Essence of Nature, he had already retrieved the world core and quickly left the core realm.
'I only need four more Greater World Cores and I will have another Divine World Core.'
When he saw the system notification, Ajax could not help but reveal an expectant look on his face.
Soon after, Ajax left the Secret World with his father's soul orb.
'Boom'
A few minutes after Ajax's departure, the existence of the Secret World will be remained a secret without any outsiders knowing about it because it was destroyed and all that was left in the space were its debris.
….
In the Five Elemental World,
Ren helped the 100 old cultivators to settle in the Five Elemental World as they got freshened up and wore new clothes before assembling under the Lesser World Tree.
"So, all of you are above 10000 years old and extended your lifespan using some life-prolonging resources."
Looking at the 100 old cultivators, Ajax asked them.
"Yes, Young Master."
"You are yet to awaken the Divine Rules and even if you awaken the Divine Rules, it would be almost impossible for you to increase its awakening percentage to 100 percent, right?"
Ajax asked them with a calm look.
"Yes, Young Master."
Even though the old cultivators were embarrassed, they still nodded their heads.
"Almost everyone has less than 100 years left to live whereas a few others have 200 years left to live."
After thinking for a moment, an old man walked forward and gave a brief explanation of the remaining lifespan of the old cultivators.
The lowest lifespan left among these cultivators is 50 years and it was none other than the one who explained to Ajax about the lifespans of all the old cultivators including his own.
"Hm."
Ajax nodded his head as he remained calm and silently thought in his head about how to nurture these old cultivators who were only left with less than 100 years old.
"It's alright! Your luck is quite good for us to meet at the right time."
