章 33: Chapter 33

According to the records, generations ago, the three great tribes were separated by the ocean, each one with its respective islands. As time went by and the friendship between these factions grew stronger, the ocean began to disappear little by little, drying itself until one could walk from one island to another.

Not only that, but the previously flooded terrain quickly became dense forest and vast meadows, considerably expanding the three groups' territories and assisting them in further development.

As it is logical, everyone assumed that this was the doing of heaven's will, or Mother Heaven, as some of the most fervent believers call her. She had gifted these new lands to us, her worshippers, for following her previous instructions.

Only by expanding our united efforts and friendship between tribes, as our Goddess has instructed us, will humanity be able to reach new limits, both in cultivation and prosperity.

"How much time do you expect for the expansion to end?" Axel asked.

"It should be less than fifteen minutes," Heaven replied.

"Ok, let me know when it's over."

As he still had some time, Axel decided to take a shower while he waited, and just as he finished, Heaven's voice notified him that the expansion was over.

As he had yet to leave the bathroom, he suddenly looked at the bath for a few seconds.

"Well, I'm already here, so I see no reason not to follow the traditions," he thought before sitting in the bath, and a few seconds later, starting to concentrate.

As always, an ocean soon appeared in front of him, but this time a great landmass was in the middle of the water.

"Wow, the new continent is pretty big, at least fifty times the area of one of the old islands," Axel said, surprised.

"That's not the new continent, Master. That's the unification of the previous islands. " Heaven's voice corrected Axel.

"What?! Are you serious? " Axel asked incredulously.

Axel quickly moved his view around the ocean, and in a few seconds, he spotted another landmass in the distance. Far from the landmass where the three tribes lived, an enormous continent appeared in the middle of the newly created ocean.

This new continent was at least ten times the size of the other one and had multiple different areas, ranging from scorching deserts to icy mountains.

"Wow, it's truly gigantic." He thought.

He stayed looking at the continent for a few minutes before remembering that he had something to do.

"Oh right, I was about to do that. For the connection with other worlds to become possible, I need to create the entrance to my world and a beacon that will make my world perceptible by others and make me capable of perceiving them. " Axel thought.

Heaven said, "I have already designed a possible entrance to the world. So I made the three tribes meet around a stone archway that could be used as an entrance. This way, no one would be able to enter the world without the three tribes noticing, so they could defend it easily. "

"That's great. We will use that archway as the entrance then. As for the beacon, it should be in the farthest place from the entrance, as if it's destroyed by someone's attack, they could steal some of my resources, so I should place it around here. "

He moved to a peaceful forest near the middle of the new continent. Even though a few beasts were living around, every one of them was minding their own business, so there was a lot of noise besides the wind moving the leaves of the enormous trees that formed the forest.

Axel looked around for a few minutes, and after that, he stopped above the tallest tree that he had found.

"This should do the work." He said.

After that, from the roots of the tree began to surge a magical-looking green light that, in a short time, extended toward the rest of the tree. The plant soon began to change, becoming even taller and wider, and a new magical aura filled every inch of its surface.

"After this, I just need to create my new add-on, and then I will be ready to start practicing in battles." Axel thought while he changed the images that were in front of him to see the core." And I don't think I will need to wait very long. After all, the energy required to create a rank-1 add-on is not a lot compared to the new maximum capacity of my core.

As he looked at the core, he found that it had already recovered some of its shine, so in a few minutes, he would probably be capable of creating his new add-on without much problem.
