This was probably the main reason there weren’t many cultivators in the Erythar Star System.
"True cultivation, in the end, ans that even if you don’t actively practice, as long as your body opens the ridians, you will begin to cultivate on its own."
Although hough the speed would be very slow—so slow it could almost be ignored—it was far better than not being able to do anything at all.
"Although the Erythar Star System is sowhat behind in civilization, there are still quite a few planets with spiritual energy. If you understood cultivation, you wouldn’t even be unable to deal with two battleships," Amalia said frankly, causing the Emperor to feel deeply ashad.
It turned out that they had been using the wrong thod for cultivation all along.
"Well, if soone is foolish, there’s nothing you can do about it," Kenny Lin sneered. "But I’m curious, the cultivation system in the Pleiades Star System should be better, right? While it may not be universal, there should at least be one cultivator for every ten thousand people. How co, after all these years, you still haven’t learned it?"
His sarcasm was obvious, making everyone feel embarrassed.
"Because the gap between the Pleiades Star System and the Erythar Star System isn’t just a matter of one star system," Amalia replied.
Everyone unconsciously turned to look at her, as she was the one who spoke.
Of course, Amalia was from the Draconis Empire, so it was normal for her to know this.
"Why?" Kenny Lin asked.
"Because there’s not just the Solvaris Star System between the Pleiades Star System and the Erythar Star System, but also the Andarion Star System. Traveling from the Erythar Star System to the Pleiades Star System requires passing through both the Solvaris Star System and the edge of the Andarion Star System."
"Passing through the Solvaris Star System is easy; that star system’s civilization is more advanced than the Erythar Star System’s. But the Andarion Star System is a gray zone, filled with danger. Countless planets are born and destroyed every day. Even if you only pass through the edges, you must always be on guard for planets suddenly exploding in front of you, avoid getting hit by teors, or being sucked into black holes."
"The Andarion Star System is likely a star system heading toward its end. Of course, the exact reason is still being investigated. If it’s truly dying, the act of aliens sending humans there is worth scrutinizing. There must be sothing in the Andarion Star System attracting them."
Sharif laughed. "I didn’t expect Ms. Amalia to be so knowledgeable about these situations."
"It’s a bit pieced together, not sothing I understood imdiately," Amalia replied casually.
"Ms. Amalia, you ntioned that we can’t cultivate because our thod is wrong, so...?" the Emperor hurriedly returned to the previous topic.
"Your Majesty wants to cultivate too?" Amalia asked with a playful smile.
"How could he not want to? If 300,000 soldiers are cultivating, how can we, their leaders, not? Who knows how he might lose his throne later," Kenny Lin continued with his sharp tongue.
The Emperor’s face flushed red. "Mr. Kenny, you’re joking."
"I never joke," Kenny Lin chuckled.
Amalia glanced at him. "Never joke? That phrase itself is a joke."
"I had originally agreed to teach others how to cultivate. Teaching you isn’t impossible, but I have one condition."
"Please, Ms. Amalia, do tell," the Emperor said, already lowering his posture.
Hearing this made him feel relieved.
If there were no conditions, they’d worry about so kind of conspiracy.
After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially for sothing as important as cultivation.
Amalia looked around at the attentive crowd. "It’s actually very simple. I need the faith of humanity, including yours."
"Faith?" the Emperor’s expression changed slightly.
Did it an what he thought it did?
"Not the way you’re thinking," Amalia smiled.
The Emperor felt a bit awkward.
He hadn’t actually said anything aloud, but how did the Ms. Amalia guess his thoughts?
Sharif sighed. "What Ms. Amalia ans is the kind of faith ntioned in ancient Western myths, right?"
Amalia looked at him in surprise. "Minister Sharif knows about ancient Western myths?"
"A little," Sharif replied. "In ancient Western myths, faith was ntioned, and it was no different from a group of loyal followers."
Amalia nodded. "Correct. I don’t need power, only their faith."
The Emperor had never studied such ancient topics.
Before ascending the throne, he was a carefree playboy, indulging in food, drink, and entertainnt.
After becoming Emperor, with the help of Sharif, Luhay, and others, he slowly changed, but never quite focused on ancient knowledge.
Sharif, realizing that the Emperor didn’t fully understand, simply explained it to him.
Upon hearing the explanation, the Emperor suddenly understood. "This is just like the Goddess of War from hundreds of years ago, right?"
He was scared out of his wits and thinking that Amalia might be trying to take his position.
If he agreed, the Elders’ Council would never approve.
"Sothing like that," Amalia nodded, knowing that a century ago, there had been a Goddess of War in the Draconis Empire, deeply revered by the empire’s people.
"This is simple. Just make a few statues of the person, then go to every planet in the Erythar Star System with human settlents and stir things up, oh, I an, promote it. That will generate a lot of faith," the Emperor imdiately ca up with a plan, showing his previous nature without hesitation.
"Does Mr. Kenny want that too?"
"He doesn’t need it; my cultivation thod is a bit different from his now," Amalia said with a smile.
With the help of the Draconis Empire’s Emperor, she didn’t need to travel to each place herself.
"Ms. Amalia, when can we start cultivating?" the Emperor asked eagerly.
Sharif didn’t stop him.
The technological civilization of the Erythar Star System was far behind that of extraterrestrials, and their only option now was cultivation.
