Chapter 1208: A New Path Forward

As for whether it was truly just for humanity’s faith, that would become clear later.

Deep down, he still didn’t quite believe that the other party only had such a simple request.

He had seen too much of humanity’s darker side, and when faced with anything, especially anything related to human nature, he always kept some reservations.

"Before we begin cultivation, there’s something I must explain first," Amalia said solemnly. "Under the rules of this universe, the development of technological civilization is the mainstream. Cultivation has limits. Once you reach a certain level, you will no longer be able to break through. The rules, once established, are hard to change, unless you have the courage to break the laws of the universe."

"I promise to teach you cultivation, not only for your faith but also to give you some self-preservation power. After all, I was once part of the Draconis Empire, and I don’t want you to keep fighting this path to the bitter end."

"I will remember your words, Ms. Amalia," Sharif said.

Amalia nodded and then pointed to Shao Jing. "I’ll teach you first, then you’ll teach them."

She had too many people to teach right now and didn’t have the energy to teach each person personally.

"Thank you, Ms. Amalia," Shao Jing didn’t expect to be the first one to be chosen.

He froze for a momen and quickly suppressing his excitement, afraid of losing composure in front of everyone.

Shao Jing himself was a cultivator, though his system was different.

However, with some adjustments, he would be able to comprehend it.

Teaching him would be much easier than teaching someone who hadn’t started yet.

After teaching in a small world for a while, he had come to deeply understand how difficult teaching could be.

If not for Javier and Nazir, he probably wouldn’t have persisted.

After Amalia and Kenny Lin led the others away, the Emperor immediately summoned the head of the guards and handed over Amalia’s image to him.

"Immediately, gather the best sculptors in the empire and have them work day and night to carve statues of Ms. Amalia."

The head of the guards took the image and went off to arrange it.

"Do you think it’s trustworthy?" Luhay asked Sharif.

"The degree of trust is at least fifty percent, but the other fifty percent is hard to say. I hope it’s exactly as she said," Sharif said. "We have no other choice."

"Yes, no way out, we can only choose to trust," Luhay sighed in resignation.

Although the Draconis Empire was safe now, and the aliens had almost been wiped out, the truth was that there were still many more aliens out there.

They could send more at any time.

Once Amalia and Kenny Lin left, whether they would face destruction or rebirth was still an unknown.

Sharif looked at the Emperor, who was now taking action, and smiled. "Your Majesty is now a competent Emperor."

Luhay chuckled. "It’s been years since he ascended the throne, and he’s only now competent?"

"Don’t set the bar too high, His Majesty has been under a lot of pressure."

Who would have thought that the person most unlikely to ascend the throne would end up being the one to inherit it?

The Emperor himself never imagined it.

His goal had always been to enjoy life—eating, drinking, and living without any serious ambitions.

But one by one, all the princes with the right to inherit the throne died, leaving only him.

Three days later, Shao Jing returned, his face full of excitement and an almost sleepless energy.

He was immediately summoned by the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, we really did cultivate the wrong method," Shao Jing said as soon as he saw the Emperor.

"What exactly happened?" the Emperor eagerly asked.

"We were cultivating the body, but we were focusing on parts of the body altered by the new human genes. That’s why so many people couldn’t cultivate. But the method Amalia taught me was different..."

He then explained in detail everything he had learned over the past three days.

"Shao Jing, you actually went behind my back to secretly cultivate!"

The general who had been recuperating from his injuries had already heard about this and rushed over without hesitation, just in time to hear his words.

"I was cultivating openly, who told you to get injured?" Shao Jing said proudly.

Fu Ling suddenly noticed that his aura seemed to have become more concentrated.

"You didn’t break through your bottleneck, did you? In just these three days?"

"I can’t help it, I really did break through in these three days. I just switched methods, and it helped me break through a bottleneck that had been holding me back for almost ten years."

If Shao Jing had doubts at the beginning, after breaking through the bottleneck, he no longer doubted and became Amalia’s first believer in the Foundation Building stage.

When he broke through, he provided Amalia with quite a bit of faith energy.

...

Five days after everyone began their cultivation, the envoys from the Pleiades Star System finally arrived at the Erythar Star System.

A massive battleship, shaped like a bullet, pierced through the storm layers between star systems and entered the Erythar Star System’s territory.

"We wasted an entire month on this. I have no idea what the higher-ups are thinking, insisting on inviting the humans from the Erythar Star System."

"Even though their technological civilization is behind, at least they have cultivators."

"And what good are cultivators? With that pitiful level of cultivation, their star system is so difficult to practice—those aliens could swallow them whole without even noticing."

"This is a matter concerning the entire universe. We can’t just let the Erythar Star System stay out of it and enjoy the benefits without contributing. That’s not our style."

Thinking they could just freeload and reap the rewards?

It wasn’t even a question of whether other star systems would allow it—Pleiades Star System would never agree to that.
