The Parting Gifts. I

For the next months, as word of the newly developed cultivation system spread like wildfire throughout the territories of the Federation, a tide of excitement and anticipation washed over the populace.

Tales of the one hundred children who had been the first to receive the groundbreaking genetic modification, and their remarkable abilities to absorb and transform neutral energy into elemental power, fueled the imaginations and ambitions of many.

The Federation issued a formal request for more participants, seeking people between the ages of eleven and twenty-one, those who had not yet committed to the traditional bloodline integration system, and those who possessed a natural affinity rating above 75%.

This criteria aimed to ensure the pure growth of the cultivation system, focusing on those most likely to benefit from and contribute to this revolutionary advancement.
