I'll Surpass The MC-Novel

"How many Bolts of Transcendence does he plan to pull?" Mahira Tusk expressed her shock as she stared at the furball, "What are the Mystic Tentacles doing? Are they content in releasing so many Bolts of Transcendence?"

"If someone on Sumatra wishes to become a Transcendent, they are obligated to release a Bolt of Transcendence." The furball spoke and stared at a gigantic greenish Transcendent World hovering farther away. It was the source of the Bolts of Transcendence entering Sumatra Continent.

"As a Blessed Race, we're merely an extension of Sumatra Continent's will." The furball spoke, "Just as how the Mammoth Clan works in your favour, we work in Sumatra Continent's favour. The analogy isn't perfect, but you know what happens at the end of a Mystic Tentacle's life, right?"

"Has that piece of information been verified?" Mahira Tusk asked next.

"Jandl Brimgan told me. I haven't personally verified it either." The furball shook its head.

"Jandl?" Mahira Tusk swerved her head to stare in the direction of a Transcendent World with golden discs revolving around it. She sent a tusk in its direction and waited until the tip gently pierced the Transcendent World.

A few seconds later, followed by a golden flash, a humanoid entity of gold appeared before her. His expression was cold, almost emotionless, drained of all energy, appearing no different from a robot as he stared at Mahira Tusk to ask, "Are you that bored?"

"I'm not you." Mahira Tusk snorted, "I only called you to ask you about something."

"The last time I checked, you're not sufficiently stronger than me to summon me as you please." The golden man said without a hint of respect in his tone.

"What if I summoned you, Jandl?" The furball hopped up and down a couple of times to garner Jandl Brimgan's attention.

"You're…Renduldu?" Jandl Brimgan's eyes widened subtly as his tone became one of respect, "Yes, what do you want from me?"

"It's about the information you said before." The furball continued, "Do Transcendents have an endpoint in their life?"

"Yes," Jandl Brimgan nodded, "Theoretically, we have an infinite lifespan. But reality is different."

He pointed at himself, "The day we lose our will to live is the day we die."

"So, it's like that." Mahira Tusk nodded and asked, "What happens after that?"

Jandl Brimgan stared at her in silence, refusing to say anything. He treated her as if her words never entered his ears, acting oblivious to her question.

"Answer the question." A tentacle sprouted on the furball to unleash a tone of anger, prompting Jandl Brimgan to answer spontaneously.

He acted as if he just heard the question as Jandl Brimgan pointed at Sumatra, "When Iron Transcendents die natural deaths, their corpses are pulled into the Continent they originate from and become an Enclave there. These Enclaves continue to strengthen the Continent and behave as towers guarding it from harm."

He then pointed at the golden rings revolving around his Transcendent World, "When Silver Transcendents die a natural death, they become Satellites revolving around the Transcendent World they contributed towards."

He stared at Mahira Tusk, "If you die a natural death, you'll become a Transcendent World."

He then faced the furball and spoke with a tone of respect, "And when you die, you'll become a Continent."

"Does that mean…?" The furball expressed shock and stared at Sumatra Continent, "That is…"

"Sumatra Continent is the corpse of a Transcendent Mystic Tentacle." Jandl Brimgan said, "It's why Iron, Silver, and Gold Empyrean Tentacles are spawned on Sumatra. My Ancestor has been researching this all along and it hasn't been long since he figured this out."

"That guy…is alive?" The furball asked in shock, for the Brimgan Empire had two Transcendents among their Royalty. The second one was Jandl Brimgan, an unenthusiastic individual who occasionally kept in contact with the Brimgan Empire.

The first one was a legend among Brimgan Royalty, the first case in history to have successfully fused a piece of Sumatra Gold in his Human Avatar and attained strength on par with a Mystic Tentacle. Some say his strength was on par with that era's Mystic Tentacle while others claim him to have been stronger than a Mystic Tentacle.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

Both couldn't be verified. But one thing was for sure. That individual's strength was on par with a Mystic Tentacle at the very least. It was why Renduldu was shocked to hear about him, for in the past two thousand years since he became a Transcendent, he never saw or heard about this Brimgan Royal's activities.

"He's busy visiting other Transcendent Worlds and gathering information from them." Jandl Brimgan said and waved his hand at Renduldu, "If that's all you wanted to ask, I'll take my leave. I'm too exhausted to care about anything."

"Do you not want to watch whatever is happening in Sumatra?" The furball asked in curiosity, "Your Brimgan Empire is in quite the pinch now."

"I have been a Transcendent for close to eighty thousand years." Jandl Brimgan expressed his exhaustion, "From the era of the first Transcendent to my era and now to the current era, the strength of the Brimgan Empire has remained consistent."

"This also means that," He said with a dejected tone, "The Brimgan Empire has never grown all along. All they do is accumulate information and after enough time has passed, they lock up all the information from the past and merely rely on their accumulations from the nearest two millennia. It's why they never grow, since they are more focused on exploring other facets of their power than to become stronger."

"So, I gave up on them long ago." He shook his head and turned around, emanating a gentle golden light, about to return to his Transcendent World. "The Mammoth Clan and the Cooter Clan came into existence only recently, but your accumulations are better than ours."

"Now, I'm just waiting for the day when I can no longer bear to live and become a Transcendent World."

"You see…" The furball controlled its desire to laugh as it pointed at Sumatra Continent, "Boul Brimgan elevated your cultivation technique to the Mystic Grade and also managed to reach the end of Spirit Weapon refinement to obtain a Secondary Nature."

"What the…seriously?" Life brimmed in his eyes as Jandl Brimgan stared at Sumatra Continent to observe Boul Brimgan, hyped, "The end of our refinement path is to refine a Minor Treasure? As I thought! We're the best! I knew one of us had the capability!"

He clapped in a hurry, "Only someone like this is worthy of fusing with the Major Treasure of Deity!"

"Are you mad?" Jandl Brimgan pointed his trembling index finger at Sumatra Continent, "My Brimgan Empire is about to usher in a new era. I'll be a dumbass to miss it."

Their discussion came to a halt upon seeing the Boar King's actions. Mahira Tusk couldn't sit still anymore as she unleashed a spiky mountain towards the Attributed Region, intending to destroy the Boar King.

But in response to her attack, the Gaja Enclave lit up and unleashed a spiky mountain of its own to counter her attack. Sumatra Continent's 392 Enclaves remained in a defensive state, having erected a barrier over it once again. These Enclaves acted as its eyes and glared in the direction of Mahira Tusk, warning her to control herself.

"Mom, you're pissing Sumatra too much." The furball landed on Mahira Tusk's shoulder and hopped up and down, "If it assumes a defensive state, it'll bring out all its Influenced Regions. That would harm our foundation because Sumatra Continent would become too dangerous for life to survive. The Mammoth Clan too will be implicated."

Considering how long it had existed, Sumatra Continent obviously possessed a bunch of Influenced Regions, mostly hidden deep underground and away from the reach of living beings. If it starts bringing out them all in order to fight the Transcendents, the continent would become even more dangerous for life to sustain itself.

All the Humans and Pranic Beasts would begin dying in droves. This also meant that no cultivator would be able to obtain enough resources and reach the 10-Life Stage. It implied a lack of Transcendents for the various Transcendent Worlds dependent on Sumatra.

Upon seeing Sumatra Continent's actions, many Transcendent Worlds began to surround Mahira Tusk's Transcendent World as a show of power. They wanted to intimidate her and force her to back down from this confrontation.

Most of these Transcendent Worlds were filled with Free Humans, who cared naught about the Boar King. After all, the entire conflict between the Boar King and the Mammoth Clan was happening in a small corner of Sumatra Continent.

In terms of size, Sumatra Continent was large enough for a Mystic Tentacle to travel all its life from one end and fail to reach the other end. Hence, even if the Boar King grows stronger, the civilisations farther away could care less.

The Boar King would never reach their Empires. Hence, their priority was to stop Mahira Tusk and ensure Sumatra Continent doesn't use its Influenced Regions. But though they wanted to pressure her, all they could do was remain in a glaring contest.

After all, held in Mahira Tusk's hands was Renduldu, a Mystic Transcendent. His existence alone deterred them all. As a result, the Transcendent Worlds did nothing other than surround Mahira Tusk's Transcendent World.

While they remained in a standoff, hundred Bolts of Transcendce slammed into the Attributed Region, following which a pillar of light originated from the place, stunning everyone.

"This is why I wanted to deal with him!" Mahira Tusk grunted in annoyance and stared at the pillar of light in a fluster, "Brangara now operates with a set of rules beyond Sumatra!"

"Are you idiots happy now?" She glared at the Transcendents in other Transcendent Worlds, observing their faces pale in fear. Even though she wanted to rebuke them further, she couldn't, for a second Cosmic Being entered their node, attracted by the pillar of light emitted by Brangara.

"No…this is?" The furball exclaimed in shock as the Transcendent World created by the Mystic Tentacles moved in a hurry.

One of the Mystic Tentacles in it flew out and addressed everyone, "This is a crisis!"

"Sumatra's existence is in danger!"
