In the first 30 years or so, things went as predicted but there were indeed some crazy events here and there.
Many elves were born, their culture developed and their overall power rose. Unfortunately, all the 1st generation Elves of that time weren’t able to experience the magical outburst and had already entered cultivation meaning no racial upgrades would happen like what happened in the Humans.
But that was nothing to worry about, new 1st generation Elves were being pumped out every month, when the World upgraded and became a Mid World the newborn 1st generation Elves will experience the most benefits, that’s of course if they met the criteria of a race upgrade, otherwise they would just experience the same thing as others.
The Queen had reached the 5th Stage of Mana Refinement which was extremely shocking taking in the fact that her cultivation technique was of the most basic one in existence. Normally you couldn’t even enter the Mana Reinement realm with a technique like that.
The other core members weren’t too bad either with the highest entering the 6th stage of Body Refinement. This Elf was a male named Alan.
Besides their strength, the Elves had completely taken the center of the Eastern Forest as their territory and a large territory it was, roughly the size of the entire London and still expanding, it just goes to show how big the entire Forest is.
Even though their territory was so big, only 72000 Elves were living there and only a tenth of their territory was used for living with the rest used as hunting grounds, but even with that they still didn’t fully occupy the entire living space.
The reason for the large territory was… they were cultivators. Don’t underestimate how powerful cultivators were even if they weren’t killing each other. These guys moved around so quickly that even if most of them were in the body refinement stage- running to the end of their territory was only a 5 hour run.
The untold truth about cultivators was that the more powerful they were, the more fucking annoying they were when they created craters, scorch marks and Dead Magic Zones all over the place.
Real Worlds weren’t like those in games and stories where every crack in the ground from a punch, every crater from a fireball and every half destroyed forest is ignored after the fight is over.
The damage to the environment doesn't disappear when the scene is over.
When people with power outgrew the level of their World it wasn’t rare for them to lay waste to everything each time they fought, this was why most of these Worlds had Rules that prevented people of that level from fighting each other unless necessary.
Low Worlds can’t withstand Cultivators at all, it was like planet Earth that Eridel came from.
Mid Worlds could only withstand attacks from [Realm 1 - 3 Cultivators]. For Enlightened species that was Body Refinement, Mana Refinement and Core Refinement. For Beasts that was Magic Beast, Spirit Beast and Seeking Beast. For Monsters that was Beginner Monster, Intermediate Monster and Elite Monster.
What are Monsters you say? Hehehe, wait and find out!
High Worlds could only withstand attacks from [Realm 1 - 6 Cultivators]. No need to go into the names of the realms 4 - 6 when they weren’t even close. Fresh chapters posted on novel fire.net
Law Worlds could withstand attacks from [Realm 1 - 9 Cultivators]. Again no need for names.
The only reason that Eridel’s planet wasn’t ravaged with environmental damage was the fact that for all intents and purposes, he could be considered a Mid World already. In fact, he actually surpassed Mid Worlds in a few things. The only thing that was Lowly about him was his size (no joke plz), being roughly the same size as planet Earth.
This was obviously because of the special magical energy on his planet.
This was why Eridel was fine leaving the species on his planet to freely develop. Here, whether a cultivator punched a tree or a stone, if they used full force they better be prepared to lose that hand.
Anything that could be considered the Nature of the planet, the earth, the trees, the stones. Anything that formed naturally would be hardened with the rest of the planet depending on its level. (Magic Trees are hardened even further based on their level)
So a cultivator punching a wall was no different from a mortal punching a wall, except they had excessive force that couldn’t go anywhere else other than returning back to sender. The result needn’t be explained.
Besides the Elves in the center of the Eastern Forest, the 4 corners of the Forest had also been claimed.
The Barbarians fought valiantly all over the place, slaughtering their previous oppressors and taking the East of the Forest for themselves. Sadly, they were quite lacking in the intelligence department and still didn’t have presentable homes, still living out in the open with the stronger of them living in caves.
Despite the fact that their population couldn’t compete with the cheating Elves, they weren’t doing bad at all. Most of their behaviour was learnt from beasts so it was natural they discovered how to mate, something they had become very passionate about.
If these muscleheads weren’t training, eating or fighting, they were having sex.
On a side note, their Chief had reached stage 1 of Mana Refinement.
In the West of the Eastern Forest lay the Snake Clan. They had dominated the West and had even begun expanding out of the Forest since they had learnt from experience that competing for the rest of the Forest was too much hassle.
The executioner in the North was too scary. The 2 legged people in the Center and East were equal in power to them with tactics to boot and the pretender in the South was a pussy, running from the strong but killing their weak when they couldn’t help in time.
They didn’t really claim more territory outside of the West of the Eastern Forest, but they did leave nests here and there, introducing their clan to the rest of the continent.
Their main mission was mainly to explore, an order from the intelligent Jörma who had become a stage 1 Spirit Beast and reached 36 metres long.
Drako and Lily had both become 7th Stage Magic Beasts.
Hiculu (the 2 headed Poison Snake) had become a 9th Stage Magic Beast.
In the North was Dodo’s territory, over there was the paradise for herbivores, only they were allowed access to the land there and any predators that intruded didn’t leave with their lives.
Dodo had yet to meet someone he could mate with because of his big size but he did have a few dozen female Elks, Deer's and Moose that he was nurturing as concubines, he even slowed down his cultivation rate to wait for them to reach a size that could take him without much danger. Despite that, he still managed to become a 7th Stage Spirit Beast.
In his harem, the Deer's were suspiciously more prevalent. A horny Elk he was.
In the South lay a Beast who had dominated the whole area, claiming himself to be the Beast King. But everyone else outside of the South called him the [Pussy of The South] or sometimes [Pretender of the South] if they were feeling kind.
This was Tiger King Raiko.
