I reallyamnewly awakened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around the gigantic Cosmic Terminal again as countless alien races moved through the endless crowds around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But honestly, I’m still surprised a place like this even exists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-skinned man laughed softly and crossed his arms. \"Yeah. I know that feeling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man beside him nodded in agreement. \"At first, most of us thought our worlds were already massive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired woman leaned lightly against a nearby metallic pillar. \"Then we reached space and saw places like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gestured toward the endless Cosmic Terminal surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And suddenly we realized we were just frogs at the bottom of a well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed immediately. \"Hahaha... yeah, I get that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he really did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the lower world, the Grand Factions had already seemed unimaginably powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even random travelers wandering through the terminal probably knew more about the universe than entire civilizations from his old world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man suddenly tilted his head slightly. \"By the way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed with curiosity. \"Where are you from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion froze for half a second. \"...Uh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he had no idea how to answer that safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t exactly say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yeah, I’m from a lower world that got attacked by a god before a mysterious cosmic system teleported me somewhere across the universe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounded like the fastest possible way to attract trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think any further, Atlas immediately spoke from his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Say you got caught in a space storm.

Dude, that’s insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched his cheek awkwardly. \"I mean... I was using some kind of spaceship back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least that part wasn’t completely false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas had technically teleported everyone through cosmic space somehow. \"And I’ve got a pretty tough body too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-skinned man still looked stunned. \"Even then, surviving a space storm isn’t normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired woman narrowed her eyes slightly. \"Especially for someone who just awakened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately laughed it off. \"Hahaha... guess I just got lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas frowned as he watched the situation unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You sound suspicious as hell right now.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion replied mentally without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the group still looked more impressed than suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man rubbed his chin thoughtfully. \"So what happened after that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"I barely survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually pointed at himself. \"I ended up spending around five years recovering before finally waking up near this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of them immediately nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... that explains it. No wonder your energy feels kind of strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes narrowed slightly at that. \"My energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired woman nodded. \"You feel strong, but unstable at the same time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recently stabilized God Physique probably still felt unusual compared to normal cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man suddenly smiled. \"Well, either way, you’re lucky as hell to have made it here alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned lightly. \"Trust me, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced around the Cosmic Terminal again while gigantic cosmic ships drifted across the distant void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... what do newly awakened people usually do after reaching a place like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group instantly burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-skinned man pointed at him. \"See? That’s a total newbie question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion snorted. \"Well, Iama newbie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired woman smiled faintly. \"Usually the first thing people do is register themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"Register?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man nodded. \"For identity records, civilization access, cultivation rankings, travel permits, and basic cosmic citizenship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared blankly for a second. \"...Cosmic citizenship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-skinned man laughed loudly. \"You seriously came from the backwoods of the universe, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion immediately pointed at himself proudly. \"Extremely rural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That answer somehow made the entire group laugh even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Atlas sounded amused from Garion’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You adapted surprisingly fast.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When in doubt, just act shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly? Just like he thought, it was working pretty damn well so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion scratched his cheek for a moment before looking back at the group. \"So... where exactly am I supposed to register?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man immediately pointed into the distance. \"See that giant tower over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion followed his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away, near the center of the Cosmic Terminal, stood an enormous silver structure covered in glowing blue patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive streams of light constantly traveled up and down the tower while thousands of people entered and exited through countless different gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked slowly. \"...That thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-skinned man laughed. \"Yep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at it for another second. \"That’s not a building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the structure with a blank expression. \"That’s an entire city pretending to be a building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole group burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired woman smiled faintly. \"You’ll eventually get used to stuff like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion snorted softly. \"Yeah, somehow I doubt the hell out of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man crossed his arms. \"The registration halls are inside that tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded slowly. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he frowned slightly. \"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at them. \"What exactly do they even register?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-skinned man answered casually. \"Basic identity, race, cultivation realm, and threat evaluation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked immediately. \"...Threat evaluation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned man shrugged. \"This place is filled with cultivators strong enough to wipe out planets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually gestured around them. \"So naturally, the Cosmic Alliance wants to know who might suddenly become a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked around again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly... in a place like this, that explanation somehow sounded completely reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired woman added, \"And don’t worry too much about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at her curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at him and the others. \"Most newly awakened people are considered harmless anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas instantly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That part is definitely not true for you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion replied in his head immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1072,"2026-06-06T11:12:31.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","048206ff1768325438ac7e50a3bd5c993e323973a205f04a38a2a47d06639877","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-563","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-561",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
