How do you feel?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked down at himself, clenching and unclenching his fist. Surprisingly, his body felt light and stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite good, actually. I feel better than ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course. You’ve been sleeping for five years.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Atlas said that, Garion’s eyes widened. \"The hell do you mean five years?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah. Teleporting everyone to this space took a huge amount of energy from you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion rubbed his forehead and let out a long sigh. \"Damn... to think I slept that long...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly looked around the endless white space surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then tell me something. What exactly is this place? And how the hell did we avoid that god?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This space is basically a hidden security function of the system. It activates in situations like this.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another thought hit him. \"Wait. Now that I’m awake, what about the others? Have they woken up yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Not yet.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned immediately. \"Huh? Why not? Are they okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because I intentionally kept them asleep. Don’t worry, they’re completely safe.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a relieved breath and leaned back slightly. \"I see... good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a few seconds, the space became quiet again before Garion spoke once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now what? We’re heading to that new civilization you talked about, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course. But before that, I need to transfer new knowledge to you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow. \"Knowledge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Of course. This is information about the real world beyond your old one. The data was finally unlocked, so you need to receive it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue. \"Fine, fine. Just give it to me already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sure... beginning information fusion now.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, bracing himself for the information injection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment Atlas began, a massive wave of information slammed directly into his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAAGGHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body jerked violently, especially his head, as countless streams of knowledge flooded his mind all at once. \"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grabbed his head tightly, pain shooting through his skull like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was far worse than when he first received divine knowledge back in the Lower World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, it had already felt overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, though?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was on a completely different level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like his soul itself was being ripped apart just to force all the knowledge inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your current level can barely handle this amount of information. Endure it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gritted his teeth hard enough to almost crack them. \"You could’ve warned me better, bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you have accepted it if I did?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned. \"...Yeah. I still would’ve done it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly. That’s why there was no point warning you about the pain.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. You still could’ve told me so I could prepare myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Where’s the fun in that?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eye twitched. \"Goddammit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still clutching his head, he forced himself to breathe slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little by little, the pain began to settle. The endless flood of information finally stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As silence returned, Garion slowly lifted his head. His eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this...\" he muttered, staring blankly ahead. \"This is the real world...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[More or less.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stayed silent for a while before speaking again. \"The cultivation realms...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly clenched his fist, his expression turning serious. \"So the realm we came from...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Was merely the Mortal Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion narrowed his eyes. \"Mortal Realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The true meaning of Mortal Realm refers to beings incapable of naturally leaving their world.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As long as someone is bound to a planet or world and cannot survive beyond it, they are considered mortals.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion absorbed the explanation quietly, piecing everything together in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So anyone who can leave their world enters the next realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct. That realm is called the Awakening Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around Garion suddenly distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless projections appeared around him, figures flying through the void of outer space, crossing planets and drifting between stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Awakening Realm beings have awakened beyond planetary limitations.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They can leave worlds, travel through space, and survive temporarily in the cosmic environment.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion studied the projections carefully. \"Temporarily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes. Their bodies are still unstable compared to true cosmic lifeforms.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned slightly. \"So even if they can survive out there, space still isn’t really their territory yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Most Awakening Realm beings still rely heavily on protection methods, energy circulation, ships, domains, or temporary stabilization.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Their bodies are not yet fully normalized to cosmic existence.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms thoughtfully. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projections shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the figures looked completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved through space naturally, unaffected by vacuum pressure, radiation, or violent cosmic storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them casually walked through a collapsing starfield as if taking a stroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The next realm is the Star Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes sharpened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[At this stage, the cultivator’s entire existence becomes normalized into true cosmic life.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Their body, soul, mana... everything about their very identity evolves.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched silently as one of the projections stood in the middle of a massive cosmic storm while waves of destructive energy flowed harmlessly around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Space itself no longer rejects them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slowly exhaled. \"So this is where someone truly becomes a cosmic being...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas continued explaining while more images appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Most Star Realm experts begin condensing their existence into something greater.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Their cores continue evolving in preparation for the next realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projection changed once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Garion saw something impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a cultivator’s body floated an enormous glowing world filled with mountains, oceans, stars, and flowing energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened slightly. \"The hell is that...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Celestial Realm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at the miniature world in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[At this stage, the cultivator’s core fully evolves into an Inner World.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth slowly fell open. \"An...
