[Keltic_Spirit: Hahaha, I wouldn't be too sure. I would worry about any extra ears and the possibility of 'extreme heritage purists'.]

[DarkSlayer: Muahahaha! I've finally reached the latest chapter! The Spirits are definition of 'Ignorant monkey who wants to touch the moon but only end up to be drowned in the lake because of the Moon reflection…read more.]

…

'Hahaha. I guess the more accurate assessment will be gazing upon the moon but not realizing that it's just a reflection of the moon on the lake. But welcome to the latest chapter, let's have a blast.

'And yes, while there is a risk in bringing them over, there is also a massive advantage. In the future, it will be hard for me alone to protect the world. While this might just be within the story, all these humans, spirits, or any other beings… They are all real. If they are able to understand the true power of the landmarks, they will have the ability to protect themselves,' replied Theo inwardly.

While climbing up, Theo asked the two spirits. "I'll ask you a simple question. Why do you think I ask my students to climb the mountain without using their essence?"

The matriarch wasn't aware of this, so Dantalian had to answer it.

He thought this was just a way to test his disciple, but after listening to Theo, he realized there was an underlying intention.

Dantalian thought for a moment. "For them to get stronger?"

"Too general. I'll give you another question for a clue. Why do you think I want to reward them with the mountain's blessing?"

"!!!" Dantalian's body shook. "To give them recognition of the mountain?"

Theo shook his head.

The matriarch couldn't help but answer, "The qualification?"

"Why do you think that way?"

"Since everyone has been baptized by the divine landmarks, this means that everyone has the qualification. Only those who understand the divine spirits can receive their power."

"If I'm your teacher, I will probably only give you 50 out of 100 points. But it's still a good answer." Theo pointed at the top of the mountain. "You have noticed the reason for the qualification, but not the method, the path, and the goal."

"Qualification…" The matriarch looked down.

"The method… is it climbing the mountain?" The patriarch knew that only those with the blessing of the moon would be able to reach the top. They might confuse it a little bit, but the concept was there.

"Indeed." Theo smiled.

"If that's the case, the path means the understanding of this power, while the goal is to get the recognition of the divine landmark." The matriarch added.

Theo smiled. "Everyone's qualifications are different. At the same time, they are given an equal chance. The method is harsh but fair. There are numerous paths, some are rocky, some are smooth. However, all of them lead to the same goal. And that goal is something that not everyone can achieve."

Theo was indirectly implying that even if they understood it, only a small number of people could actually gain that power.

"Does that mean one's background is not related to the world whether they are able to pursue the ultimate power or not?"

"I don't plan to answer that question. You may interpret it however you want since I don't plan to mess with the politics of this world. Still…" Theo looked at the city. "I'll say the same thing if I ever meet people from other places. The method might be different, but they are all fair."

"!!!" Dantalian and Elezar noticed what Theo was indirectly implying. He wanted other divine landmarks to know about this information.

If such a thing was indeed recorded, the power balance might change tremendously.

Elezar couldn't help but ask, "How does it benefit you?"

"This is not a matter where you do it because it benefits you." Theo pointed at the city and said, "In the near future, this city might be destroyed."

Dantalian and Elezar would have been angry if Theo said this without awakening the divine landmark. They had been protecting this city for hundreds of years, so they didn't like an outsider suddenly cursing their city.

"The ten worlds have been connected. Is it only the worlds connected? Or is there something else?"

Dantalian and Elezar exchanged looks.

At first, they thought that their unique power was also connected. It fit perfectly with Theo's image.

However, when they thought about it carefully, it wasn't just their unique power.

"The aliens?" Dantalian sucked a cold breath.

"In the past, humans were divided and fighting each other. They conserved their power and struck the people when they were down… while having a common enemy.

"The common enemy was not divided. They were growing stronger and stronger every time they devoured their enemy.

"The kingdom also absorbed all the powers for themselves, but the conflicts strained their budget and crushed the people's hearts.

"When the king of the world proclaimed himself as the emperor, he could only see devastation in all directions… either due to his own hands or the common enemy.

"Despite getting the whole world, the king had no more power to actually resist the invasion. In the end, the kingdom and the whole world were destroyed.

"At the last moment, the king came to a realization. Other kingdoms he conquered were there to stop the invasion. If he had joined hands with them from the start, the world wouldn't have perished.

"Before his last breath, the king said three words: Seven Deadly Sins."

"…" Dantalian's face darkened while Elezar closed her eyes. Both of them realized that as long as they were alive, they would never escape from those seven deadly sins. They were the ones giving them ambition, but at the same time, they were also the ones that would destroy them.

Dantalian sighed. Theo's back looked so broad but out of reach. It was as if he wasn't a human anymore, but a higher being that ruled the world.

Dantalian glanced to Elezar, who nodded her head. Both of them had reached an agreement.

"We understand." Dantalian bowed, thanking him for the advice.

Theo smiled. "In that case, let me give you a little bit of a reward. This mountain is called… Perseverance."
