After he thought that, Noah went deeper into the plain, searching for another pack to fight.
Time passed in the new continent.
Ships continuously landed on its shores, carrying many ambitious human cultivators.
The alliance between the four nations had delineated the borders of the dominions of the three big countries and brought peace once again, only the manpower needed for the complete colonization was lacking.
Even the envoys tasked to analyze the territories of the southwestern coast arrived, Elder Julia politely escorted them through those areas while pointing out the details that the Hive had discovered in that period.
Of course, her actions were only another performance meant to solidify the lie about their arrival, her methods were more than enough to cover the traces left by her group during the past months.
It was needless to say that the envoys ignored most of the territories after they reached the lava lake, the Elbas family felt fortunate when it learnt that traces left by divine beings were situated in a land that they could obtain.
Noah had been forced to stop his wild lifestyle while the envoys analyzed those lands, he couldn't show them that he was plundering anything that contained "Breath" in the azure plain.
The last weeks harmed his aspect, but he felt more confident than ever in his abilities after the prolonged period spent exploring the depths of his dragon side.
Experiencing the simple life of a magical beast had been quite refreshing, he did nothing but battle, eat, and train all day, without anything else bothering him.
His body improved steadily, but his other centers of power benefitted from that lifestyle too.
His mind was always under pressure due to the constant battles and the threats that the areas around the plain hid, and his dantian was nourished by the laws of the darkness element whenever he gained some insights about his path.
He had even resumed forging weapons in his spare time, he had way more rank 4 materials that he needed, and he didn't want his ability in the Elemental forging method to become rusty.
That led him to accumulate a few disposable weapons again, he couldn't create stable items with materials of different elements, but he had succeeded in making them reach the fourth rank nonetheless.
He didn't think that he could use them to win a battle against a heroic cultivator, but they could be useful if another situation like that next to the obelisk happened again.
In the end, the envoys returned to their respective nations, and he could resume his wild lifestyle.
'I must say that I enjoy battles more since I became a hybrid, I even feel more in general.'
Noah thought as he laid on the ground of the azure plain.
He had decided to rest that day, the stars in the sky were particularly shining at night, so he had chosen to let his mind wander as he stared at them.
'To think that I would become more human by fusing myself with a magical beast, or maybe it's just this freedom that makes me express my true self.'
He analyzed himself as the light of the stars was reflected in his reptilian eyes.
Only rank 4 beasts inhabited the plain, Noah was basically the strongest creature in that area.
He was experiencing what being at the peak of an environment meant, it was as if he had reached his lifelong goal in that zone.
'Yet, monsters that I can't even approach live right next to me, and the stars still shine over me.'
Noah didn't know how much time he had spent in the plain, he had long lost track of it, but he knew that he was only living in an illusion of his dream.
Then, a voice resounded in the air.
"Prince, it's time."
