I'll Surpass The MC

Rumtara Kingdom was decently far away from the Brimgan Empire, but throughout history, migrants had braved through the treacherous regions to arrive at the Brimgan Empire.

It was because of the consistency at which Rumtara Kingdom remained a fucked-up Kingdom with piss-poor leadership. And every time they were raided by a Pranic Beast race, resulting in lots of Free Human deaths, a large number of people migrated from there.

This had happened hundreds of times to the extent the migrants managed to forge a path of escape that allowed them to travel from the Rumtara Kingdom to the Brimgan Empire with relative safety and a conservative number of deaths.

Brimgan Empire was a Free Human powerhouse, having stood tall for tens of thousands of years. It was one of the few Empires that had witnessed the eras of multiple Mystic Empyrean Tentacles. As a result, people in Kingdoms from all over the Continent tried to reach it, trying to forge their own routes to the place that could be called a Free Human paradise.

The number of failures was too numerous to keep a note of. The majority of those who had embarked on such a journey ended up dying due to the perilous nature of Sumatra Continent. But from time to time, there were cases of success.

And these successful people would arrive at the Brimgan Empire, settle in, and develop. Eventually, they would have families and pass their life's mission to their children. Using the knowledge of the parent and the potent Human Avatar building prowess of the Brimgan Empire, the children would set out when they were strong enough.

They would try to improve the route traversed by their parent. The percentage was even lower, but there were cases of success. Over time, these routes would be gradually developed.

On rocky mountains along the way, information would be carved for future travellers, engraved with details by all passersby. Over time, as travellers pass by it, they would add in bits and pieces of knowledge they had gathered. Eventually, a route would form successfully.

There were hundreds if not thousands of such routes, with people from various Kingdoms and Empires reaching the Brimgan Empire with differing motives. Most of the time, the Brimgan Empire accepted these refugees.

As a melting pot, it gathered the brave travellers and their knowledge. Over the centuries, this pool of knowledge allowed the Brimgan Empire to upgrade their own cultivation techniques, since they could draw reference from the techniques used in Kingdoms and Empires far far away.

There was generally a couple dozen people arriving at the Brimgan Empire every month. And from time to time, there would be a large crowd of people fleeing from the Rumtara Kingdom.

Inala arrived at a clearing and was able to observe the Brimgan Empire's entrance, gawking at its sheer grandeur.

Lotus Range!

Situated in the Brimgan Sea, this mountain range appearing like the petals of a lotus marked the Brimgan Empire's sprawling territory.

Occupying an area of five million square kilometres, and spanning a population of 140 million, they had truly carved out a portion of Sumatra Continent for themselves.

In terms of history, the Brimgan Empire easily dated past the likes of Mammoth Clan and Cooter Clan, having been a major power for as long as anyone kept record. Only the Mystic Tentacles keeping watch from the Transcendent World knew how long the Empire existed.

'This is the Brimgan Empire.' He felt an indescribable emotion well up in him. The spot he stood at currently was where Resha stood when he arrived at the Brimgan Empire in Sumatra Chronicles. The art posted by the author officially was from Resha's point of view.

And in the exact same point of view as the artwork stood Inala. Though aware that he was originally a denizen of Sumatra Continent, the longing he felt towards this world while on Earth left a lasting effect.

Today, he was there, in the exact spot he had dreamed about, staring at the mighty Brimgan Empire, the location where the Second Major Disaster commences. "Ahh, I want to explore this world more."

It was his honest desire. Frankly speaking, if he had a choice, Inala would have happily abandoned everything to explore the continent at his leisure. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be an option because of the Boar King.

Once the Major Treasure of Attribute appears, the Boar King would truly become serious. As he blazes through the ranks of Life Stage, his strength becomes more and more absurd. And once he reaches the 5-Life Stage, he becomes capable of sensing the existence of Empyrean Tusks.

Similar to how the Empyrean Tusks feel the presence of the Boar King through fear, the Boar King would feel their presence through hunger. All the Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity would combine to completely influence him.

But his Voracious Nature too would grow stronger and cause him to develop a stronger desire for Internal Inertial Gravity. Basically, the Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity would have grown strong enough to make him think he was an Empyrean Tusk.

And the higher the Boar King's cultivation at the Life Stage, the stronger this influence gets, since he continues to gather more of them. Eventually, the influence would become powerful enough to affect his mind significantly and force him to grow as an Empyrean Tusk.

Even though that wasn't possible, the Boar King would pursue that goal, towards which he ends up killing all Empyrean Tusks and devouring them. By the end of Sumatra Chronicles, the Boar King would mentally be more Empyrean Tusk than all Empyrean Tusks combined, with the number of Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity in him crossing fifty.

At that stage, even without activating them, the sheer influence brought by them would permeate the influence of Internal Inertial Gravity in him, which was why Resha failed to even scratch him and died a dog's death.

It was why, from the start, Inala didn't desire an Empyrean Tusk's strength. After all, the greater the number of Internal Inertial Gravity the Boar King gained, the more helpless an Empyrean Tusk became before him.

Though merely at the 2-Life Stage, Resha had enough power at the end of Sumatra Chronicles to defeat the strongest of Free Human cultivators at the 10-Life Stage, including the Brimgan Emperor. Despite that, he died a dog's death.

And the start of that fate lay in the Brimgan Empire, where the Major Treasure of Attribute appears and urges the Boar King to move.

'I have to do something about that. But how can I prevent the Boar King from sensing the presence of Attribute?' Inala thought in worry as he sighed. He then noticed through his exceptional eyesight as a Zinger, observing the figures of Gannala and Asaeya arrive at the entrance.

Since they were at the Body Stage and exuded strong presences, they could enter after paying a small entrance fee, or bribe if one could call it. Seeing them enter safely calmed him down, 'That's one less issue to stress about.'

"Once you make a full recovery and we grow strong enough, let's explore the world," Wittral commented with a smile as the duo made their way to the Brimgan Empire. And obviously, just as they had expected, they were stopped at the entrance.
