Chapter 308: Lower Worlds
Silence instantly filled the carriage, every gaze abruptly snapping toward Lucan, eyes widening significantly in astonishment and intrigue.
Orion himself stared blankly for several seconds, momentarily speechless, before slowly raising an eyebrow in genuine surprise.
"A lower world?" Orion echoed softly, incredulously yet deeply intrigued. "You mean... an entirely separate, smaller realm? Such places actually exist within Thunderpeak Kingdom?"
Lucan chuckled lightly, crossing his arms smugly. "Indeed, Young Master. Sometimes, a special wormhole opens with the World Laws that allows travel between two worlds. And a newly opened portal has appeared inside our kingdom. These portals or rifts are most of the time connected to lower worlds."
Orion’s curiosity grew as he asked, "What are these worlds used for?"
Edgar, who was sitting beside Lucan, replied, "The lower worlds are mostly used as training grounds for the younger generation as they have a lesser amount of dangers compared to our Aerthalis Prime Realm. And sometimes, they also have rare treasures like high-grade material mines or some other things."
Orion’s dual-colored eyes lit up, excitement clearly reflected in them as he eagerly leaned forward, unable to contain his curiosity. "Lower worlds? How many exactly are there? And just how dangerous can they be?"
Edgar turned slightly from his position beside Lucan, a gentle, patient smile appearing on his face as he calmly began his explanation.
The rhythmic clopping of horse hooves and the gentle sway of the carriage added a soothing backdrop to his words, capturing everyone’s undivided attention, particularly Elias, whose eyes sparkled with fascination.
"There are multiple layers and categories of worlds," Edgar began slowly, his deep voice resonating calmly. "At the very peak are the 12 Prime Realms, just like our Aerthalis Realm. They represent the pinnacle of existence within the Small Chiliocosm, each supporting powerful civilizations and mighty figures at the peak."
