Chapter 595
I finish shaking the Lich King's hand and speak again.
"So where do we begin?"
The jet-black skeletal figure ponders for a moment, staring off into the direction of the black abyss on the horizon.
"In my first life, it took me many decades to compress my core..."
He turns back to me.
"I had a teacher, but on that world, Divine Energy was far more prevalent than it is here..."
He puts his arms up in the air like he's feeling it.
"There is hardly enough red threads in this entire desert to awaken a single core. This is a dry planet far from the source... However, if there are beings like the sun god in this world, that means there are most likely more who have grown by other means than natural energy in the atmosphere. We left that strange construct, and you seemed to have farmed threads from it. The only way you might awaken a True Core is if you have enough yellow fragments to do so."
I nod, opening up a spatial magic portal above my hand to let a single yellow gem float out above my hand.
