Steve naturally knew if even Daniel reached that level in his cultivation,the awakening day would naturally be due and he won't get the chance to visit those gaming centres anymore.Steve immediately brought up another topic as he didn't want to see Daniel dwell in his sad state since he was the one who indirectly caused it.
"So when is the awakening date"asked Steve.
"It is probably in a years time from now",said Daniel as he recovered from his sad state with a matter of factly reply.They talked about other matters which made Daniel regain his happy expression before Daniel said the conversation had ended between their mothers and that his mother was coming to inspect him so he should return to operation 'TORTEROUS CULTIVATION'
"See you on the awakening day I presume"said Daniel
"Yeah,see you too"said Steve as the call the projection of Daniel disappeared.Steve turned off his quantum watch as he sat in the chair doing nothing.He didn't have to wait long as his mother arrived an hour later.However to his surprise,his mother actually came with his father.
He shouted father and ran to him in a matter of seconds.Even though he had a temperament of that of a grown man most at times,Steve was still a little boy as he couldn't hide the excitement to his face.He gave his father a big hug which lasted for minutes before letting him go.
After he got satisfied with his hug,he pulled his dad to the room and sat him down before he recounted all what had happened.He started from the game Mr Simon played with them then continued to that horrifying fish and those consecutive breakthroughs.
His parents kept quiet and listened as if they were serious students paying attention in class.They smiled as they heard all what Steve had gone through,this guy had quietly endured all this to himself as both parents thought.
If Steve were to hear what they both were thinking,he would literally be screaming
'Didn't you guys hear me shout with all the energy in me'.But it did not come to that as amidst those thoughts,Steve asked a question that made them frown a bit.
"Dad please what was that fish I took in that caused those breakthroughs.Even if it was a treasure,Mr Simon should have warned me about it and that bronze quality technology"
said Steve.
"You will naturally learn about these if you successfully test your ability to pilot mechs and go to those mech academies but since you happened to experience that fish's effect,I will tell you about it"said Peter Arden as he continued,
"The fish that you ate is a creature normally called a chaos creatures.They are creatures that are birthed from the universal chaos energy"
"Universal chaos energy"said Steve with a confused expression written all over his face as he listened to his father.
His father naturally caught that expression as he answered,"chaos energy is a kind of energy that is like the beginning and end of everything.Its something complicated that you shouldn't be delving in into at this kind of age when you don't even know whether you'll become mech pilot".
"Wait until you successfully enter the mech Academy and you will gain all the knowledge you need to know about the mech piloting career and surplus amounts of knowledge about the wonders of the infinite stars.Chaos energy is a topic energy you sure are going to delve into so no more questions about it".
Steve picked up from his fathers expression that he likely didn't want to go further about the chaos energy.It might be that he didn't want to provide wrong information that would contaminate or even coincide with what he would be thought if he attended a mech academy.
What the hell was wrong with this wait till you gain the ability to pilot mechs.He was getting more and more frustrated with the increasing pop ups of whether he could become a mech pilot in any conversation he had with other people related to mechs and its wonders.
He just wanted to fast forward the time so that he could arrive on the testing day as soon as possible.This test was kind of boggling him,but at last,hmmm ...."
He dropped those thoughts as he heard his father continue with his explanation
"The fish should also be considered a chaos creature as it was created and nurtured by chaos energy".
Steve grew confused as his father used the word 'should' instead of 'is'.The way he spoke made Steve think there was naturally more to that fish and the chaos thing his father was talking about.
He gave his father a pleading look who sighed and continued,
"The one you ate hadn't fully advanced to become a real chaos creature,it had not reached the first order of cultivation and can be called a pseudo chaos creature.Per human cultivation standards,the creature had reached level 7 in its cultivation.Only 1st Order chaos creatures and above have already assimilated the chaos energy and can be called chaos creatures".
Steve couldn't help be shocked witless of his temperament.If the creature he had eaten was considered a pseudo chaos creature and had provided him this benefits,he couldn't make any guess of what kind of improvement the meat of those creatures who had successfully advanced to become chaos creatures can provide.
But judging from the previous experience,the improvement should be nothing short of shocking.He looked at his father and gave him a look which signaled his father to continue as Peter had naturally noticed Steve lost in thought so he has already paused.Seeing Steve confirm,he continued
"Your guess is right,the benefits provided by chaos creatures meat is immense.It can range from advancement in 5 levels of cultivation at once and immediate stabilization of breakthroughs without any problem ocurring"
Steve grew confused as he heard his father speak of no problem occurring but he quite remembered he went through a lot back then.He asked his father immediately as he couldn't contain his curiosity,
"Dad,then why did I go through all those inhumane pain when I took that fish meat whiles you are here saying consuming the flesh of chaos creatures will provide no problems"
His father replied casually,
"As I have already told you,chaos energy is something incredibly mysterious that can't be comprehended thus why even humanity knows not much about it like the other races.This energy is capable of understanding every single body and push it to its limit when it is consumed to forcefully cause breakthroughs for the consumer.It naturally thus things more forcefully as it can be ascribed from its name".
This made Steve once again think of the previous cultivation session.He clearly remembered that the energy acted with more force than he could control and always pushed him to limits without exceeding it.This was something complicated he couldn't even understand as he thought.
He now understood why his father did not want to introduce this topic,it was just an overwhelmingly complicated topic.He now acknowledged the previous warning and stopped enquiring anymore about that chaos energy.He moved onto another topic
"Dad,so what was that about the minor issues surrounding the exploration realm?",Steve said as he change the topic.
