I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I thought it would be a tower at first, like the slightly longer towers scattered here. But soon I realised this wasn’t true. It kept expanding up, up until it reached almost the highest point of the platform, and even started to expand further up.

It wasn’t only one, but six tall towers. They started to grow up one after another, but all didn’t stop until they exceeded the height of the platform itself.

Looking at this from far made me think these towers were like six big guardians for the platform. However as they appeared, my twin soul started to shine brightly, giving me the familiar scene of them merging with the platform.

“Pappa, I’m going to be your sharpest weapon.”

“Daddy, I won’t let any harm come at you.”

Two more matured voices came from their direction before they went into silence. I saw them merging with the second layer of the platform, before the entire city they built and six towers rising high up shook.

“What’s going on?” I looked in daze towards this and didn’t know what to do. This Ruin twin soul just took half of the bone energy, leaving almost half still gushing here.

So my first reflex was by guiding these energies towards the platform and the newly formed city and towers. But as the first waves of energy touched the platform, that shaking grew from being weak to become stronger.

“Damn!” I knew this couldn’t help but to make things much worse. I didn’t even have time to celebrate opening my first three stages of cultivation.

And now I had to deal with such a disaster! I could see how fierce the shaking became, even causing a few cracks to appear over the outer surface of the platform.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Don’t tell me all this was going to fall and shatter! What did I do wrong just now?

I calmed down myself, tried to recall anything to help in such a situation.

I tried to recall anything from the old man’s records that could help. However I knew this was like searching for a needle in a massive haystack.

Also the main problem was that my cultivation methods were much different than normal cultivation methods.

To add more bad news, the energy coming from my bones was getting out of my control. I already was directing all this energy to enter here. But after trying and ending up stirring more trouble for my platform, I had to keep this energy nearby.

And in just the few minutes I spent in thinking for a solution, the amount of energy began to grow to a terrifying degree.

I felt if this kept up, I’d end up losing control and might even get a damaging backlash from this.

“Forget it! Go into my dantian then,” I didn’t find any other way to control and store these energy in but into my dantian here.

And as the energy poured into my dantian, I had to control it to circulate in the densely packed meridian network around the dantian.

I was just trying to buy time, hoping I’d regain control over this berserk energy.

Just as I was busy doing that, something weird happened. I was pushing the energy around in the meridians rich network. But at a few places, I felt like part of the energy was lost there.

At first I didn’t notice it, but soon I felt something was wrong. I watched carefully while pushing another wave of energy into my meridians.

And this time I could see what happened. For unknown reason, my energy went into tiny black holes that appeared at one side of the meridians.

These holes were weird. They weren’t there before. But when I noticed their pattern of distribution, I got a flash of realisation.

“Isn’t this in the direction of the platform?” I looked and confirmed my guess. “Ok, let’s try this then.”

I controlled the energy and pushed all of it towards these holes. I watched all the energy I threw to vanish into the black holes, and with it new changes occured.

The platform and the ground attached to it was filled with cracks. The cracks were expanding fast. But when my energy gushed into these black holes, these cracks started to heal at a rate visible to naked eye.

That meant the platform couldn’t handle pure energy without the interference of my dantian. I looked at this scene while a question popped up in my head.

Why was my dantian away from my platform in the first place? Wasn’t this supposed to be my cultivation base or what?

According to the old man’s words, the cultivation base was built first by a dantian and a network of meridians. Then cultivation would be built entirely over this.

But my platform was built away from my dantian, even separated from it. As I watched how my platform was eating my energy like it was a barren land, I couldn’t help but think about another crazy idea.

“Let’s see… After all this situation is all wrong…” I knew this wasn’t my fault. After all, the platform was built by my first soul, Devour.

Devour selected this area to build the platform away from the dantian. And now, I had to correct this childish and crucial mistake of my first boy.

To do that, I had to improvise. The only thought that crossed my mind at this moment was to use the same way I used to drive the souls into here.

But this dantian was already in the shadow world. So I didn’t need to cut it into pieces. I just had to control the excess energy, forming two gigantic palms that carried that dantian alongside its meridians.

Then I slowly pushed it towards the direction of my platform.

I feared my platform would reject my dantian. But the problem didn’t originate from there. The platform didn’t show any resistance as I feared.

In fact it started to grow an attraction force, helping my dantian to come closer. But the problem came from nothing else but that hidden force here.

Just when I started moving my dantian, it seemed like a behemoth was stirred up. Giant torrents of dark energy started to come and crush at my dantian and meridians, trying to crush them.
