CHAPTER 17:Morning star

Walking down a lonely road

No one knows what the future holds

No matter how we pursue our goals

We always end up in a six foot hole

As Midas was walking off, he kept repeating the poem in his head, it was an extremely popular poem on planet venus, before humans started cultivating souls and discovering their spiritual brands(human power system) the lifespan of a human was extremely short compared to other races, some humans didn't even reach the age of 100 before they died.

He remembered when he first saw this poem, his teacher had told him about the struggles of pre-cultivation humankind(humans before cultivation), how humankind had to leave legacies in batches because their lifespans were way too short to even perfect it.

The current cultivation of humankind was built on the legacy of countless generations, with each generation trying their best to perfect it,leaving their mark on the lives of billions, when he first heard this, even Midas himself had imagined one day he'd also leave his mark in history, well not until he met himself on planet nova and he had to fight for his life and get better everytime so that his remaining teammates wouldn't be killed off one by one.

To the three races, Midas was a monster and a blood thirsty god of war who just kept getting more powerful after each fight, but no one knew, he was just trying to protect his comrades from harm.

Looking back, the people on his home planet probably thought he was dead, he had no idea the kind of fuss they'd pull, even he, felt very guilty about it, the upper echelon of the human race spent a lot on him.

Whether it was on cultivation or on physical training or education, and what did he do, he snuck out and got himself into this mess.

Back on his home planet venus, he was revered as a genius of the highest grade, humans cultivated their spiritual brand which was in them from birth, this brands would stay dormant in humans until someone with a special spiritual energy comes and force it out through a special ritual

This ceremony was called awakening ceremony, spiritual brands came in different shapes and sizes, someone with a hammer spiritual brand would be very talented in forging and proficient in metal attributes attacks, someone with a carp spiritual brand would probably be able to swim more than an ordinary person, so yes, even if it was a little bit unfair, there were useless spiritual brands, and some rare humans who had no spiritual brand at all, they were also amazing spiritual brands like one of his teachers who had a phoenix spiritual brand.

That teacher was so talented in fire laws, that nobody could defeat him in terms of fire attacks, his attacks were so violent and destructive that he once obliterated a whole continent in fury.

But of course, amazing spiritual brands didn't mean that the person would definitely be strong, it just gave a higher starting point, if you didn't work hard then you'd definitely be surpassed in no time by those less amazing spiritual brands, but of course, all that didn't apply to Midas.
