Chapter 520 How Tables Have Turned

Daniel and the others spent the following few hours waiting in line for their turn, after which, thanks to Cassie's help, they were able to obtain a traveling permit from the Blackrose faction

This permit was required by the Independent faction to justify their use of the inter-dimensional portal, and to obtain one was not difficult, as neither the faction of belonging, nor the independent faction itself had any rights in probing into a group's internal dealings As long as the journey was roughly justifiable, one would generally be issued without a proble the per part

As the guardians of the only inter-dimensional portal in the universe, the independent faction was forced to handle the constant influx and outflow of cultivators, whose sheer number was the cause for this slow process This problem was not exclusive to Competition's do cultivators would try to regulate the use of the portal, instead of leaving it free for anyone to use

As a result, many attempts had been ulate the portal, including the sorting of inco cultivators that would be teleported into remote branches at the moment of their arrival, or various other eable But, alas, none of those attempts had ever worked, and that was because of how oddly stable the space that surrounded the inter-di an area that included the small planet, the area that surrounded the inter-dimensional portal was extre portals, or even opening a rift in space to teleport away, had ended up in disaster

Once created, these portals would instantly try to repair, and if used, they would be capable of allowing a person through, but not stable enough to take them to their destination Or at the very least, not in one piece The sa cultivators, who had proven that teleportation into this stable area would not work bytheir appearance near the inter-dimensional portal as an anonymous mist of blood That was the reason why people traveled with the use of shi+ps, instead of bending space and time

Antecedent to any form of civilization, these portals had become a subject of many studies, especially for their odd ability to forcibly stabilize space So that, if able to be replicated, would be eardless of the rank, as a protective measure for their territory

Daniel had noticed this peculiarity way before his group had reached the portal

As a cultivator who had comprehended the essence of spacetie area affected by the portal's power as a separate section of indestructible space, as well as the fact that it had been as such for countless years If he would have been asked to describe it to a person that had never seen it, he would describe it as the coible solidified space

Through thousands of years of perfecting, the various domains had created the methods used in the present And that was to take turns A method that had reminded Daniel of when, back on his own planet, he would see hundreds of merchants in line to enter the city in a si thanks to his job as a pickpocket and fake guide

Surprised by how simplistic this domain's bureaucracy was, Daniel decided to find a tavern where he and the others could spend the estimated ten or so hours that it would take for their turn to coroup to the least populated restaurant he could find, and ordered a table for six

”Welcome, kind clients This is the list of our wines and teas Feel free to calla single one-inch thick ht in the middle of Daniel's table He then bowed politely, and tried to leave

Before he could leave, however, Daniel stopped hi, ”Do you have any food?”

”Food?” asked the waiter while raising one brow in confusion

”Yes Food You cook it, put it in your o on?”

Slightly embarrassed, the waiter walked back to the table, and while bowing apologetically, he said, ”Yes, of course My apologies, we do not get as many requests for food here This is oursheet of paper on which were listed around twelve dishes before leaving

Daniel went through the dishes listed on the , he turned to look at his extremely confused companions, and asked, ”Is this what you traditionally eat in this universe?”

Even more confused by this question, Rose looked at her si that they would be more ready for this question, but when she saw that they were even more confused than she was, she turned to look at Daniel, and said, ”There is nothing we eat in the domain of Lord Competition”

”Oh, yes Because after your fa” Said Daniel in realization He then put the menu down, and asked, ”When was the last ti?”

”I My teachers told me that it took me two months to ascend the first time So when I was a little older than five” Responded Rose without bothering to hide a hint of pride

By looking at the faces of the other three young woh a si thehis hand on the table, above which various hoh the on top, he picked it, and began to eat

The four young women looked in silence as Daniel enjoyed hishad no purpose for cultivators, and that their essence was powerful enough to sustain their bodies, but unfortunately, just like their eyesight and hearing, their cultivation enhanced ther sense of s the the table

The first one to crack was Dahoa sort of wooden spike with her poor knowledge of wood essence, she pierced a slice of ht it to her an to chew, a smile appeared on her usually serious expression

Cassie and Lilith followed suit right after, respectively picking the dish they personally found , which happened to be a slice of strawberry cake, and a chocolate pudding Two desserts which Daniel thought

The only one as still not eating was Rose, who had chosen to observe as her friends stuffed piece after piece of food in theirto maintain their co a dish of her own, she looked at Daniel's toast, and asked, ”You've picked that because it's the best one?”
