YM778.TV Chapter 59: Mortal Plane
"So, is my bloodline useless until I can saturate it with whatever it needs? Doesn\'t sound that good to me. After all, where can I even find stuff so high-quality that my bloodline would deem it worthy to consume?"
Yue Lan smirked slightly.
[Beggars can\'t be choosers. Though it will probably be hard to find something to saturate your bloodline in this plane, you can try your luck somewhere. Who knows, it might not even need such high-quality stuff and can be unlocked by simply a piece of wood.]
Her voice had a hint of sarcasm at the end, as it was nearly impossible for Shen Yuan to fully unlock his bloodline in this lower plane. Shen Yuan also heard the sarcasm in Yue Lan\'s voice loud and clear.
He felt a vein pop up on his head as he saw Yue Lan laughing at his expense. He moved his hand forward and tried to pick up Yue Lan. But his hands passed through her body, and he watched in shock as Yue Lan phased through his grasp.
[Nyahh~ You bad boy, trying to bully this poor kitty. But too bad, this is merely an illusion, and you can\'t really pick me up.]
She had a smug grin on her face as she looked at Shen Yuan proudly, knowing he couldn\'t do anything to her.
Shen Yuan felt another vein pop up on his head as he glared at Yue Lan\'s smug expression. He took a deep breath to calm down, knowing it was useless to try anything.
"So, I have to look for materials on this lower plane by myself? Is the system shop useless?" Shen Yuan asked another question to divert the conversation.
[Nyah~ It\'s not useless, but can you afford to try all the items in the system?]
She looked down at him for his broke status and continued,
[You can\'t even afford a decent physique at this point. Even a Heavenly grade physique is 50,000 points each, and the same goes for the bloodline. And both are worthless for you; they won\'t even increase your power that much. But they will make you more versatile. So, just look for items to feed your bloodline on this plane, though I doubt you can awaken it even if you feed it the entire plane.]
Shen Yuan\'s eyes widened in shock as he didn\'t expect his bloodline\'s appetite to be so huge. Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong\'s eyes were also filled with amazement and shock at the ridiculous level of Shen Yuan\'s bloodline. Shen Yuan fell into deep contemplation as he wondered how he could saturate his bloodline.
Bing Rong asked in a confused tone, "By the way, you keep mentioning this plane, that plane. But what exactly is a plane? Our world?"
Shen Yuan snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Bing Rong\'s question. He was also quite confused about the world structure. Shen Yuxin and Huo Rong also grew curious as they looked at the small kitty on the table for answers.
[Nyah~ You guys are too weak to know about it for now—]
Yue Lan started, but she saw Shen Yuan\'s disappointed expression and changed her tone,
[But I suppose I can tell you something about it.]
Shen Yuan\'s eyes filled with excitement as he sat up straight, eager to hear what she had to say.
[The place you are currently in is called the Desolate Continent. This continent is situated on BlueCrest World. There are more continents on this planet, and this planet belongs to the HeavensFall Starfield. When you combine an infinite number of such star fields, you make up a plane.]
She paused here to let them absorb the information.
[And this—] she continued, [is the lowest level of a plane of existence. People refer to it by various names: Mortal Plane, Lower Plane, Astral Plane, etc. You can call it whatever you like, and it wouldn\'t really matter. There are two more planes surrounding the Mortal Plane: the Heaven Plane and the Hell Plane. After combining all three, you get a Small Heaven Plane.
The Heaven and Hell realms rule over the Mortal Plane with different laws, and there are followers of both as well.]
Shen Yuan and the others were silent, taking in the vastness of what she was saying. Finally, Huo Rong spoke up. "So these planes… do they interact with each other? I mean, do beings from the Heaven or Hell Plane come to the Mortal Plane?"
[Absolutely.]
Yue Lan nodded.
[The Heaven and Hell realms have their own laws and followers. Sometimes they interact with the Mortal Plane, either to influence events or to recruit new followers. But most of the time, they remain separate unless there\'s a specific reason for interaction.]
Bing Rong frowned slightly. "And these followers… they live among us? Or do they come from the other planes?"
[Both, actually.]
Yue Lan explained.
[Some are born here and ascend to the other planes, while others descend temporarily for specific missions or to influence events in the Mortal Plane. Their presence can sometimes be felt, but they rarely interfere directly unless necessary.]
Shen Yuan absorbed the information, his mind racing with the implications of what Yue Lan had revealed. The vastness of the world and the existence of higher planes made him feel both small and excited. His desire to grow stronger intensified, fueled by the realization that his current world was just a small part of something much greater.
Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong were also deep in thought, contemplating the new information. The idea of higher planes, powerful beings, and the interconnectedness of their world with others was overwhelming but also intriguing.
Yue Lan, sensing the tense atmosphere of the conversation, decided to lighten the mood a bit. [Alright, enough of that stuff for now. I\'ll let you all explore the world and its mysteries on your own. But Shen Yuan,] she added with a mischievous grin, [I\'m curious… How many women do you plan to have in your harem, hmm?]
