The Holy Kingdom

'Can you at least explain to me the predicament I am facing? That one you can do right?' 

[Yes. The 'Chaos Annihilation' cultivation manual is predicated on the interdependence and interaction of the four fundamental elements, each drawing strength from the others' weaknesses. Light and Darkness, being inherently linked, exist solely in relation to one another. Therefore, should you attempt to implement the methodology outlined in this manual, the fusion process carries an astronomically high probability of failure, approaching 99.999999...%.] 

'Wait a minute…' Li Tian was reminded by what he had said earlier. 'Could you explain to me my Body Type?' 

[The concept of the 'Perfect Unity of Elements' signifies that your body possesses an innate harmony and affinity with all the fundamental elements in the world. The system within your body has been meticulously calibrated to seamlessly harness the powers of all six elements, devoid of any complications or conflicts.] 

'Huh?? Doesn't that mean with my Body Type, I can merge six elements instead of four when cultivating the 'Chaos Annihilation' manual? After all, that fusion process which you said had a 99.9999…% chance of failure, is a 100% chance of success in my body?' 

[Sorry, the system is currently unable to answer this question. The system was constructed upon the foundational principles of humanity, where every idea or reward within the system is a consequence of the cause-and-effect relationships inherent to human existence. Consequently, the system is incapable of furnishing predictions to problems that remain unresolved by humanity, as it operates within the boundaries of human knowledge and achievements.] 

'Huh?? I just solved the question for you and yet you're still giving me the same answer?' At this point, Li Tian had come to the realization that the system was imperfect. In some ways this knowledge-filled, machine-like system is more powerful than anything in the world. In other situations, this system was as dumb as a block of wood. 

After this interaction, Li Tian is now more worried about the life ahead of him. Since this system seems to be built or created by someone, doesn't that mean someone, or something is most likely watching over him? Was it God? Or some evil entity playing some tricks in his mind? 

Shaking himself out of his stupor, Li Tian's face had a slight frown. Li Xian who saw her little baby looking sad, quickly picked him up and showered him with kisses. "Aww… My baby no need to frown… Mummy can read you some stories if the words are too difficult for you?" 

Seeing his mother display her love so affectionally towards him, Li Tian placed his worries aside. "Thank you mummy! Can you read me this book?" 

Li Tian pointed to the book, 'History of the Holy Kingdom', which he had asked from his mother to bring in from the other part of the library. Li Tian was curious about the world of Terra and how it differed from the different countries on Earth. Li Xian had slowly accepted that her little baby boy was very different than the peers around him. She knew that she couldn't treat him the same way she treated the twins. May as well help her son broaden his horizons with harder books. 

In the annals of history, the Holy Kingdom stands as one of the most renowned and far-reaching civilization to have ever existed. Stretching back millennia to a time when technology had yet to assert its dominance, the Holy Kingdom earned its place in the annals of time by conquering nearly sixty percent of the known world. Unlike the tumultuous cycles of rule and division seen in the Land of Hua, where each emperor's fall led to a fracturing of the kingdom until the ascent of a new ruler, the Holy Kingdom's sovereignty endured unbroken. 

The enduring reign of the Holy Kingdom owed its longevity to their profound mastery of Magic, a discipline rooted in the conversion of mana into practical power. Within the world of Terra, Magic was a subject meticulously explored and perfected by the Kingdom's foremost magicians. Armed with aged wooden staves, these magicians wielded their spells on the battlefield, rendering both Demonic Beasts and adversaries impotent before their might. Over time, these magicians evolved a new branch of Magic, one that seamlessly fused magic with the knightly art of swordsmanship, giving rise to the legendary magic swordsman. These elite warriors had the uncanny ability to cleave battlefields asunder and reduce fields to ashes in mere moments. 

Yet, it was not the magicians alone who conceived this magical warfare doctrine. In an era predating the discovery of mana, it was the priests who first propagated the concept of magic among the populace. Unsurprisingly, the entire nation came to be known as the Holy Kingdom, owing its strength to unwavering faith in their singular deity. This divine entity disseminated its gospel to its chosen disciples, who zealously carried out its will. These disciples, in turn, became the bedrock upon which the Holy Kingdom's power rested. They not only armed the common folk but also transformed a once-feeble kingdom into the formidable force it became. 

Legend has it that a disciple once dared to inquire about the deity's name. Enraged by the audacity of the question, the deity swiftly meted out divine punishment before declaring, 'Only the chosen shall know my name. To the common folk, I shall be the Holy One.' 

In the eyes of the Holy One, only those born with the rare affinity for Light were deemed worthy to serve as apostles, working directly under the god's divine authority. To this day, aside from the royal lineage of the Holy Kingdom, these apostles continue to wield the greatest influence and power within the kingdom. 

"Mummy does god truly exist?" Li Tian looked up to see his mother's warm looking face. The history of the Holy Kingdom had struck a chord in his heart. The idea of gods existing in this world does not seem farfetched ever since he had reincarnated in Terra. Not only that, but Li Tian was also granted a 'system' that should not be humanly possible. 

"Oh, Tian Er…" Caressing Li Tian's chubby cheeks, Li Xian shook her head, "Mummy cannot really say if there really is a god out there. In the eyes of the people of the Holy Kingdom, there may truly be a deity watching over them. To us, in the land of Hua, our people has built our country up by hand, without the aid of a supreme being. Who's to say, as you read other history books for other civilizations, you may come across many other gods. At the end of the day, what matters more is how you carry yourself throughout your life. The existence of God has no relation to your own life." 

"Does my baby understand what I'm trying to say?" Li Xian looked at Li Tian's absent-minded face. Many times, Li Xian would forget she was just explaining things to a baby who had not even turned one. 

"Mm… I understand mummy." Li Tian nodded. Right now, the concept of God was too farfetched for him to even conceive. He was still a baby. Eventually, everything would make sense. 

Night soon came in the Li Manor. Li Tian and his parents were back in their quarters. The couple had fallen asleep, leaving Li Tian to himself. Tonight, he was going to try out the 'Chaos Annihilation' manual. The manual was engrained in his mind, hence whenever he needed to recall it, the manual would appear instantly. 

For the Qi Gathering stage, The Chaos Emperor wrote that the cultivator had to not only circulate the body with one type of Qi at once, but with the four types of elemental Qi. To do so, one needed very fine control of his own consciousness that helped to fuse and hold the four elemental Qis together. If not done properly, a person may go into Qi deviation where the worse case scenario would lead to death. 

'Shit… Was it even worth for me to try out the fusion of six elemental Qi? Even fusing four elemental Qi was so dangerous…' Li Tian mulled over it while placing his tiny hand on his chin. 'Heck! Why am I even trying so hard to cultivate? All I want to do in life was watch anime! Ah this stupid family! Why was there no computers or television in this manor??' 

Ever since Li Tian could move around and speak autonomously, Li Tian realized this home of his did not have a single technology other than the phone. Only the adults had phones and even with it, they were rarely seen using it. Li Tian tried to get a hold of his mother's phone, but she refused to let him play with it. Hence, Li Tian was not able to check out the anime that existed in this world. Maybe, there wasn't even anime in the world of Terra. 

'Ahhh! Maybe I should just cultivate something easier… I can just bid my time in this world until I reach the age where I can source for anime myself.' 

Ding…
