Chapter 305: Situation of the Planet (1/2)
Philip and Sam sat down in Sam's room. They are both holding some freshly crushed fruit juice with some ice in it.
They didn't speak for a long time as they sat on the floor and looked at the scenery of the city from the floor to ceiling window.
They are absorbing the majestic beauty of the city that Sam created in six months.
After more than half-an-hour of silence, Philip finally spoke.
”When are we leaving?”
Even though he didn't mention any specifics, Sam understood, there is the only place they have to go now and that is to the Beast faction.
”There is more, than six major powers to the vicinities of the central continent.” Philip continued after taking a sip.
”There are basically five major continents, six countries, six archipelagos and ten large islands on this planet which are discovered and explored or being explored by the humans.
In them, the central continent is the largest of all and the beasts rule the land.
Around the central continent, there are six archipelagos that are occupied by the six major powers, and the twelve large islands are occupied by eight minor powers and the four major professions.
Although the four major professions are powerful, they don't have much territory, rather they have some camps in the central continent from which they gather resources.
Apart from that, there are some small islands which are occupied by some minor professions like seers.
Apart from the central continent, the remaining four out of the five major continents are not that significant when we compare the resources. That is why the major powers didn't show much importance to these continents.
They are namely, northern, western, southern, and eastern continents.
As you know, now the western continent has the only country, but the remaining continents are pretty divided and have no less than three empires.
There are six countries that are scattered near the continents. They are also large islands, but they are classified as countries for some reason.
As for the six major powers, they are namely, Thunder-god temple, Lightning Spear sect, Thunder-bolt sect, The beast faction, Usaine Sect, The Garden.
The thunder god temple, the lightning spear sect, and the thunder-bolt sect are once only lightning cultivators' sects, but later, they started accepting others too.
The Garden is a sect that is mostly focused on the wood elemental users and there are some herb experts, pill masters, potion masters in them and they have quite a sway in the pharmaceutical tower.
The Usaine Sect is a sect that is quite diverse and has all types of cultivators, but they have numerous artisans, formation masters, and inscription masters. They do have some influence on these three major professional associations, but they wouldn't involve in the operations of these towers.
The beast faction.
This is the only faction that involves too much with the beasts in the central continent.
The beast faction has some allies from the beast tribes in the central continents, they are neutral beasts which are not hostile towards humans and don't mingle with other beast tribes that attack humans and are in constant wars with the human powers.
That is mainly because they cultivate in Beast warrior arts.”
Sam was surprised when he heard that, he is almost thinking that the beast warrior arts are extinct in this world, as he couldn't find a single record on the beast warrior arts.
Even though Watt noticed that they are beast warriors in their previous battles, he didn't get to talk with them about that and hence doesn't know the details. So, he was quite surprised.
But Philip didn't notice his expression and went on with his explanation.
”They will have a beast companion since their birth and they would make a pact with the beast and they will always fight together. They are actually, quite powerful. But this also made them hostile with some beast tribes as they disliked the fact, they are using the methods to brainwash some cubs since they are born and forcefully making them coexist with the cultivators instead of the cultivator gaining the beast's approval.
The beast faction is essentially made of four families and each family had a different approach regarding the beast cultivation.
One of them believed to gain the beast's approval, one of the forces the beast and makes it act like a puppet, one of them injects the bloodline directly without any pact or contract, and last one of them relies on taming.
There was an internal conflict among them approximately twenty years ago and since then their relationships have been rough. But when facing enemies, they are actually quite united.”
