"What's a world spirit?"
"Do you really not know?" The shadow asked with a curious expression.
From what he knew, all people from all places knew of world spirits since it was a revered being in all places. A peaceful creature whose only goal was to look after the world and its people.
The spirit would only ever attack someone if it notices that it's causing serious problems or makes the world be in grave danger. Other than that, even if people killed the spirit, a new one could pop up without a hassle. Killing them wasn't easy as they wouldn't ever leave their planet and were immortals in the truest sense.
The shadow explained this to Lith.
The world spirit was also a caged creature since it couldn't ever leave the planet and they also were dependent on the star master of the planet.
They would only manifest when there's a star master and one would only be eligible to become a star master if they were in the God realm.
Lith then interjected and asked, "what's the God realm?"
The shadow, looking the curious Lith and also Emilia, said shaking his head,
"Now isn't the time for you to know. Once you ascend and become a demi-god, maybe then you can know of this information. As for that lass over there, I can tell her but I won't since I don't know what thing your world follows and your cultivation increases."
"Every world has its own set of rules and laws and although almost all the worlds share a similar dao, there are still many having differences. Since I don't know what backwaters you two come from, I won't comment on it because it might end up killing you instead."
"Ask a God in your own world about it and it'll be much better. Or better yet, explore other places and figure it out on your own since going to a God is risky as they can take your life anytime."
Lith nodded his head in understanding.
Emilia, who was silent for all this while, finally asked, "different worlds? There are other worlds?"
"..."
The shadow, looking at her, was dumbfounded. But then he sighed and cursed him main body for having terrible luck and attracting really dumb people to his inheritance.𝗳re𝙚w𝐞𝚋n𝚘ѵ𝗲𝚕.𝑐om
How could someone not know that there are other worlds?
Really… just what type of a place did these people live in? The shadow couldn't believe.
"Obviously there are! How could you not know? Have you ever gazed at the sky at night and wondered what those shiny things are? They're literally other planets!"
"But if that's true, the people who have tried going towards the places, they weren't able to find anything and returned empty handed." Emilia said what she knew of.
The shadow gave up on explaining further and said, "just explore and find things out on your own. I am not going to comment any more on this. I have other things to do."
"Right… one last thing before I leave."
The shadow walked towards Lith and stood in front of him.
He gave a careful look at him and said, "Phew… I didn't know that a day would come when I'll have someone who doesn't even know me inherit my stuff. It's a great pity… but it is what it is I guess."
The shadow then placed his index finger on Lith's glabella again and pushed him backwards.
A pink colored bright light appeared and Lith's entire version momentarily turned to that color.
Finally when it faded, the shadow said,
"Brat, this is my main body's inheritance. In no way is it a complete inheritance since I am not dead. But it has everything in it that can take you to great heights and it has martial arts and whatnot that are upgradable, meaning you can keep using the same things to reach the higher realms."
"Anyway, since you are the sole and the only inheritor of the Grand Lust Sovereign, you have to keep making me proud and show me your abilities. Once you reach the God realm, come see me."
"Another thing, only 60% of the inheritance is there with you right now. Without the other 40%, everything will become useless. To get the remaining one, you'll need to do one final task."
Lith looked at the shadow and asked curiously, "what task?"
"It's simple. Just give a green hat to a person three realms above you. I don't care if it's a ruler of some place or a beggar. But yes, the more people affected due to this person getting a green hat, the more bonus points for you and the less would be the curse on you."
"..."
Something caught Lith's attention that made him shocked. He looked at the guy in front and asked with annoyance,
"What the hell do you mean curse? What curse?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you?" The shadow chuckled. "Brat, do you think I'll just give my inheritance to anyone? You must have the balls to steal wives just like me and only then will I even look at you."
"Anyway, the curse isn't life threatening. It'll just keep you in a state of constant arousal and you'll think nothing but of sex at all times. The only way to get rid of it is to keep giving green hats."
"The more people you give it to and the more powerful the person who got it and also the lady with whom you did it is, the faster will the curse be gone. So it's all up to you on how you would take it now."
"You—" Lith was really annoyed now.
The shadow chuckled again. "You should've thought twice before entering a trial. This is a demonic cultivator's inheritance and although I am a good guy and didn't put traps for you, this is a really mild curse."
"My only reason to not put deadly stuff here is because I am a good guy. And the only reason I put out my inheritance is because there's no dual cultivator in the world other than me, believe it or not."
The shadow then looked at the distance and said sighing,
"...it gets pretty lonely while being alone."
Lith wanted to rip apart that face and body of the shadow knowing he gave a curse to Lith, but then the shadow turned to him and said hurriedly,
"Okay no more questions and answers. I am leaving. Good luck trying to get my full inheritance. Also don't end up dying in some angry husband's hand and shame my name."
"See you someday soon, bumpkin."
