Necromancer of The Shadows

"Tell me, why are you the only Eldritch Creature at Rank Five in Azragoth World when it's such a good place for cultivation?"

Since the moment Evan started fighting against Emperor Velgoth and other Eldritch Creatures, he had been curious about this very question.

No matter whether it is the concentration of the World Essence or the speed of comprehending conceptual energy, everything in Azragoth World seems better than Utopia.

Since the environment of Azragoth World is superior, then why is Emperor Velgoth only at Rank Five? He is the ruler of this world, shouldn't he have reached Rank Six, especially with all of the resources of this world at his disposal?

Not only is he still at the beginner level of Rank Five after tens of thousands of years, but even the other Eldritch Creatures under his command are not very high-ranked.

After fighting against millions of Eldritch Creatures in Azragoth World, Evan found that the average level of these creatures is only Beginner Level Rank Two, with a few reaching Rank Three and creatures like Nythor, who are at Rank Four are even rare.

If the environment of Azragoth World wasn't suitable, it would be understandable that there weren't many high-level core evolvers.

But with the abundance of World Essence and the clear concepts that should increase the understanding of conceptual energy, it was truly strange that the level of the Eldritch Creatures remained so low, so Evan really wanted to know what was going on in this world.

When Emperor Velgoth heard Evan's question, his expression turned strange.

"What are you talking about? Do you think it's easy to advance in an environment where you can't even feel a single concept clearly?"

"Huh?" Evan was startled by Velgoth's words.

'Can't feel even a single concept clearly?' He tried to feel the concept of the void once again to increase his understanding of void energy and found it was very easy to sense the void's concept here.

Thinking that Velgoth was lying to him, Evan's eyes turned cold, and he made a snapping motion with the large scissors in his hand.

"Are you messing with me?"

Velgoth's lower body went cold when Evan made the snipping motion, and he immediately shook his head.

"I am telling the truth. This is an artificially created world, so even though it's rich in World Essence, it's still very difficult for anyone to advance their rank. Although it's possible to increase one's understanding of conceptual energy to about 25% and break through to Rank Two, reaching Rank Three is almost impossible. In an artificially created world, it's extremely difficult to further your understanding of conceptual energy. That's why most creatures here can only reach Rank Two at best, and only those with exceptional talent can break through to Rank Three."

"You are saying it's difficult to feel the concepts here because this world is artificially created?" A deep frown appeared on Evan's face hearing Velgoth.

He wasn't sure whether he was telling the truth or not because it didn't match his own experience as he could sense all the concepts very clearly.

"Yes, and not only that, this artificial world is located in the chaotic zone, making it even harder to comprehend conceptual energy. If you don't have extraordinary talent, it's nearly impossible to reach Rank Three in Azragoth World."

Evan looked at Velgoth closely, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

'If what he says is true and it's hard to feel the concepts in this world, then why can I feel them so clearly?' He thought with a confused look on his face.

As he was thinking, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

'Could it be because of...' He placed his hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

'Azroth told me that the Heart of Origin signifies my status as one of the Origin Holders and that I can't enter the Origin Universe without it... While there could be other reasons, I have a strong feeling that the reason I can feel all the concepts so clearly is because of the Heart of Origin.'

Evan tried to sense whether anything was different about his Heart of Origin after arriving in Azragoth World, but after observing it for a while, he found nothing abnormal so he eventually gave up.

"If it's difficult for people to sense concepts here because it's an artificially created world, then how did you reach Rank Five? Surely, it wasn't simply because you are very talented, right?"

"You are right..." Velgoth's expression remained calm when he heard Evan's words as he replied, "I was able to reach Rank Five because I refined the core of this world. In fact, without the core's help, it would be impossible to go beyond Rank Three in this world."

Evan's eyes narrowed when he heard Velgoth's words. "Are you saying even your subordinates who reached Rank Four—"

"No, they didn't refine the core..." Velgoth interrupted Evan before he could finish speaking. "They were able to reach Rank Four because I shared the energy of the world core with them."

Evan remained silent, waiting for Velgoth to continue.

"You have fought many of my soldiers, so you must be aware of the phenomenon where the bodies of the people are absorbed by the world after their death, right?"

"Yes," Hearing Velgoth, Evan nodded his head as it was another thing that had been puzzling him.

"This is actually the work of the world core. Once someone dies in Azragoth World, all of their energy is absorbed by it. Once the world core absorbs the energy of the dead, it transforms that energy into pure essence, which can be used to accelerate cultivation. Whether it's to increase one's understanding of conceptual energy or to deepen one's grasp of the laws, this pure essence is beneficial to all core evolvers regardless of their rank."

Evan was stunned when he heard Emperor Velgoth as he hadn't expected such an absurd explanation behind the disappearance of the bodies.

"So, Velgoth and the high-level core evolvers under his command were able to advance because of this essence created by the world core, huh..." Evan muttered quietly, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

'Since all core evolvers can use this essence, doesn't that mean I can use it to increase my rank as well?'
