Chapter 114

"No mentor yet? How is that possible?"

The Dragon Lady was shocked.

Chen Ang explained.

After listening to Chen Ang's explanation, the Dragon Lady suddenly realized, but then she was even more shocked.

He could come to the academy before school even started.

This meant the academy valued him very highly.

Otherwise, even if he came to the academy, he would have no qualifications to step into the Perished World at all.

After all, this was considered one of the academy's important resources.

"Do you want me to tell you about it?"

The Dragon Lady asked.

To this, Chen Ang certainly didn't mind. "That would be best. I'm actually quite curious about this."

Hearing this, the Dragon Lady stopped wasting words and immediately explained, "You should know that the cultivation systems of various worlds are all different, right?"

"Hmm, I know."

The world Chen Ang was in could be said to be the World of the Gifted.

But outside the World of the Gifted, there were other worlds.

Like the mages of the Wan Xingta, they came from another world.

Outside the world, there were countless other worlds.

And in any world with extraordinary power, the cultivation systems might be the same, but most were different.

Some were magic.

Some were battle aura.

Some were beast taming.

And some were body tempering, etc.

Of course, the World of the Gifted, which focused on talents, was a unique case.

The Dragon Lady continued, "In your World of the Gifted, the weak are fine, but powerful gifted ones, if they want to become stronger and grow to the level of a World Lord, will more or less recruit followers in the early stages."

"Why is that?"

Chen Ang frowned slightly, a bit confused.

The Dragon Lady smiled and asked, "Why do you think a World Lord is called a World Lord?"

Chen Ang shook his head.

The Dragon Lady said, "Because a World Lord is the master of a world, and also has a world providing power for them continuously. You can understand a World Lord as a powerhouse at the god level."

"Gods have divine kingdoms, and the world inside a World Lord is their divine kingdom."

"The only difference between the world inside a World Lord and a divine kingdom is that it must be a complete world, with mountains, rivers, lakes, various laws, life and death, etc."

"Generally speaking, wanting to have all these things requires a very, very long time."

"So, in the distant past, a powerhouse in your World of the Gifted proposed a concept."

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Ang's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What concept?"

"If a World Lord opens up a world inside their body, can they put resources from other worlds into it, allowing it to give birth to laws by itself?"

"For example, moving a mineral deposit from outside into it, letting it give birth to the Law of Metal, moving a lake into it, giving birth to the Law of Water, etc."

"And in the end, it was discovered that this concept is feasible."

"But the speed is still not fast enough. So, expanding the line of thought, some powerhouses put life into their own world and let life develop, multiply, and grow stronger in that world."

"The living beings in that world will also cultivate in the process of becoming stronger, and during cultivation, they will subconsciously and naturally comprehend various elements. These comprehensions will cause the laws of the world to continuously strengthen and expand the world."

Understood.

Put this way, Chen Ang suddenly understood.

So, even if a gifted one doesn't want followers, they can still become a World Lord.

But after becoming a World Lord, the stronger the world inside their body, the stronger the World Lord themselves.

And the strength of the world depends on laws.

The cultivation of life naturally strengthens these laws.

After creating a world inside the body, letting it naturally give birth to life requires too much time, and many people can't afford to wait.

They simply take a shortcut, directly snatching life from other worlds and putting it into their own world, integrating these people into their own world, and letting these people strengthen the laws of their world through cultivation, development, and comprehension.

In this way, the World Lord's own strength will also receive a huge boost and growth.

"No wonder."

Chen Ang suddenly realized.

No wonder World Lords are called by this title.

Forming a world within the body, the title of World Lord is indeed very appropriate.

"So, these followers are the lives that will move into the gifted ones' worlds after they become World Lords in the future?"

Chen Ang asked.

"You could say that."

The Dragon Lady explained to Chen Ang in more detail. "Generally speaking, no life is willing to leave their own world and go to a strange world that has just been born."

"But there are many, many worlds, as numerous as the stars. There are always some worlds where resources have reached their end, or they face the danger of extinction."

"At the same time, there are also some lives whose world's limit is right there. Even if they cultivate no matter how hard they try inside, they can't reach a higher level, so they will choose to move into the World Lord's world."

"And the stronger the World Lord, the better their world, and the higher the upper limit."

"It's just that those who have already become World Lords don't need so-called followers. Ordinary lives don't even have the qualifications to talk to them."

"So..."

No need to say more.

Chen Ang also understood.

So they choose those gifted ones who look like they have the ability to become World Lords and can open up powerful worlds, and become their followers.

To put it bluntly, it's investing with their own and their clan's future.

If the investment is good, the whole clan can soar.

If the investment is bad, it's not just a waste of time, but also a consumption of the future.

"For a World Lord, powerful followers can also make them stronger."

"So in the various academies of the World of the Gifted, in order to make it easier for many proud talents to choose their followers, they reached cooperation with various worlds that were about to perish or had intentions many years ago."

Chen Ang raised an eyebrow and said softly, "This cooperation is to let existences similar to you come to the academy, contact those proud talents, and become followers?"

"Yes."

The Dragon Lady nodded. "But strictly speaking, while the gifted ones are choosing us, we are also choosing the gifted ones."

"After all, the gifted ones need powerful and qualified followers."

"And we also need powerful and qualified World Lords."

Chen Ang nodded.

That's also true.

Two-way selection.

It can also be considered a kind of competitiveness.

Good races are just those few; if you want to gain the other party's recognition, you have to show your own skills.

"Then what about you? Who in the academy did you follow?" Chen Ang asked.

The Dragon Lady shook her head.

"I don't have a follower."

"In the Wuqu Academy, there hasn't been anyone who could catch my eye before."

"But now, perhaps there is."

As she spoke, the Dragon Lady looked up, staring at Chen Ang with burning eyes.

94: Rumors of the Perished World, supreme treasure.

Although Chen Ang had always been quite confident in himself.

But facing the Dragon Lady's gaze, he couldn't help but point at himself and ask in astonishment, "Are you talking about... me?"

"Yes."
