My Idle System-Chapter 356: Universe (9) (Unedited)

After confirming his hypothesis, that the Faith Power System was not something simple, where only the believers would get the benefits, and deciding once again, that Faith was really a topic worth looking into later, Christian who didn't plan to voice out his thoughts in regard to his topic, found himself still curious about one the Divine Power, and so, he asked, "You know, is Faith Power System, also an exception to the essence accumulating rule?"

Against his expectation, in the end, what he got as an answer, was not something he expected, "No, in this regard, it's actually the same as other power system, after all, divine power at its core, is also essence, but, simply a higher level."

Anastasia's answer didn't discourage Christian but instead made him feel the Divine power was even more closer than he expected, but, disappointing him, was Anastasia's following words, "But, don't even think that acquiring it something possible. Even at the transformation rank, acquiring genuine divine power, is something nearly impossible."

At this statement, Christian naturally disappointed, stayed silent for a moment, staring at Anastasia's seemingly innocent eyes.

He knew that there was no use dwelling on this point, because it was simply out of his reach. But, to vent, his frustration, he still pinched her soft cheek for a moment.

Maybe she had endured enough? Anastasia who deemed it so, finally retaliated and pinched his hand on her cheek.

She increased her strength gradually until he was unable to hold any more and took his hand away, and only then, did she huff smugly, and move on to the next topic, "Anyway, with the Power system topic out of the way, the universe one, is only one remaining."

"But, if I want to talk about things or like points beyond what you could know from those people already here, and you were probably able to find about them on your own, or things not included in the countless books I gave you."

"Then, what can I say is really small."

"More over, it's not like the universe is closed up, rather, it's too connected, and what you would find interesting, or like worth your attention are probably things related to the factions out there, resources, items, natural treasures and other things."

"And again, it's all things you can find on your own... no, you should have found already."

"So, really, should I take days to explain information you already know?"

"Well…" pretty thoughtful at Anastasia's words, Christian went through every piece of information he already knew, for a moment, before he said, "you are right, but, wouldn't the information you share be more accurate and detailed?"

Anastasia didn't refute Christian's words, but she still asked back, "Then, what are you particularly curious about and would like to confirm? Tell, me so, we can narrow down the range, of what I should explain about."

Thinking that she was right, and he should really be more specific in his questions, Christian tried to remember what he is curious about.

And just like Anastasia said, when it came down to it, it's very simple... what is he curious about, are things related to him.

Things he will get involved with, and could affect him… things like his previous two question of the Earth Evolution, and the various power systems.

Then, should he continued with his question, going in that direction? Even when he could possibly get the information he wanted on his own, if not through the outsiders, then through the information he still have not finished sorting from the countless crystal slips he got from Anastasia?

Christian wondered, but, if he could take the easy way by asking her, why he should make things hard for himself.

With that line of thoughts, with a strange gaze, he asked, "Is the universe peaceful?"

Christian wanted to know if the disputes currently going in earth was a one time thing... or should he expect it to continue for a long time.

Pulling her head away from his chest at this unexpected question, and looking at him with odd gaze, Anastasia needed to think for a moment before she gave her answer, "To answer your question, we need to divide the universe into two parts, the already explored one, and then, newly discovered one." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"And if we talk about the already explored part, then, it's peaceful… mostly peaceful."

"I mean, subjectively there are always wars happening, at the important and the trivial reasons."

"But, objectively, if one world among thousands, has a war going on there, then that should be considered peaceful after all, right?"

Anastasia looked at him, as she asked, and Christian while staying silent couldn't help but grumble… It was meant to be a yes or no question though.

He didn't answer in the end, and Anastasia continued talking, "Anyway, moving on to newly discovered part… the Universe is vast, it's so vast, that even with all those strong and legendary factions out there, conquering it, is a dream no one was able to fulfill."

"There are always new areas that are being discovered after all… so, seizing them become a main battlefield of sort for them."

"So, the conclusion would be, that it's not peaceful for these part of the universe."

While feeling some dissatisfaction at this not very straightforward answer, Christian knowing, that not everything could be divided between white and black, didn't dwell on that, and instead with a hopeful tone, asked, "And what about here? I mean my world… is it in the already discovered part, or not?"

"Well…"

"Well…" Anastasia stretched her words playfully, as he looked at his eyes.

She seemed to contemplated if she should tease him a little, before deciding against being childish like that and saying, "You don't need to worry then, as even though, it's quite remotely located, your world, is already in the discovered part of the universe under one of the strong factions."

Christian who seemed to have felt some relief at the first half of Anastasia's words, seemed to became a little restless, at the second half.

A faction called strong by Anastasia… and the Earth supposedly belonging to them.

It was anything but pleasant news.
