Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1660

Chapter 1660 Bad Blood

Gralith hadn't said much to Sylas after returning. In fact, Gwenu and Khan were nowhere to be seen even now. It was like they had disappeared for good.

But since Gralith hadn't said much about that either, Sylas didn't question it. He wasn't one to speak much anyway. Plus, he had already done his duties in saving Gralith.

Right now, he needed to press forward.

"Cryst Emperor..." Gralith's eyes narrowed, looking at Sylas deeply. "A dangerous question, indeed."

Sylas' expression didn't change. He already expected that a Cryst Emperor wouldn't be a simple figure if they were even remotely tied to his Gene Class, but it seemed they were even larger than he knew.

"Do you know how Heavens work?" Gralith asked.

"I do not."

"It could be said that a Heaven is the first true division of territory that makes a meaningful difference on a large scale. A Heaven isn't just a parse of land. The most meaningful difference in territory there is happens to be the one between the Real World and the Demon World, and a Heaven is a much smaller reflection of the same thing.

"We are under the Skai Heaven, ruled by the Thryskai Gods. We skew toward Will, and creatures born here tend to have stronger Wills than those born in other Heavens. Cryst Emperors are very rare here because they represent the path of elementalists.

"Although you can find them, they almost all come from the most powerful of Races, while those that don't are quite good at hiding them until they no longer have to."

Gralith didn't have to elaborate on this at all. It was obvious enough what he meant.

If they weren't hiding their secrets anymore, it meant they were powerful enough not to have to. In that case, even if they didn't come from their own powerful Race, they could make their own powerful Race.

Why would you need a powerful backer if you were your own powerful backer?

"That said, because Cryst Emperors also have strong Wills, we actually have a higher proportion of them than many of the other Heavens as well. Only the Mesmer Heaven is comparable, as they tend to have very strong Charisma talent.

"However, the Heaven with the highest proportion of Cryst Emperors without a doubt is the Cryst Heaven. They have the strongest talent in Intelligence across the entire Real World. But..."

Gralith shook his head.

"Travelling between Heavens is a death sentence for you. Your flying vessel is impressive by the standards of this Sector, and even this Horizon, but it wouldn't even be able to touch the void between Heavens without being shredded to pieces.

"Even if you did have such a vessel, the punishment for trying to leave a Heaven without the express permission of the Thryskai is a death sentence. Their system will unilaterally act on its own and wipe you from existence.

"And, even if you had a vessel and could escape punishment, it would take you millennia to finish crossing the distance. It's entirely impractical unless you are an S-tier, and that could be considered to be the bare minimum requirement for most.

"Even the great powerhouses of a Heaven could go their entire lives without seeing another Heaven. The God Beasts of The Emperor Sanctum, for example, may go into the strata of the Gods, but that is only the Holy Land of the Skai Heaven. Even they won't attempt to cross."
