The First Store System

Chapter 913: A Familiar Scene!

Before the arrival of the store, Maria's life was on the verge of ending. Only a dim future awaited her, but everything changed that day.

The day she found that store, her destiny changed entirely. Getting her revenge was only the start. In only the next several hundred years, she would reach the peak of cultivation in the Primal Dimension from a measly Soul Formation level cultivation.

It wasn't enough, as she would also go on to create an overlord-level organization in the Primal dimension. Everything started with that store and the store owner.

Her liking for the store owner turned into love, which then turned into reverence. Even a cult member wouldn't be as fanatic as she was about the store owner.

Maria got many offers from different male and female cultivators, but she couldn't bring herself to like anyone. Even though the feeling for Aakesh was not love anymore, she still wanted to live with that.

Her life was going well in the Primal dimension as she had an organization, and she was also the top-ranked on the leaderboard. But everything changed in her life again as the store owner suddenly left for the Sacred Dimension.

At that moment, Maria also decided to ascend since her faith wanted her to. Only a few years after Aakesh left, Maria also attempted the tribulation, passing it with ease.

Maria knew this journey was going to be difficult as when she ascended she would start from zero again.

***

Planet Aria was the place where Maria ascended after passing through her Primal tribulation.

Planet Aria was one of the low-level planets on the Sacred Dimension, even lower than the planet that held the store.

The highest cultivation level on the planet was only peak Divine Lord. When Maria ascended, she appeared in Grouter Town, one of the towns under Blackwood Province, and in the Kilator Kingdom.

The loose organizations of the Sacred dimension preferred cultivators who had ascended from lower dimensions over the local cultivators. The only reason for it was the fighting experience.

Those ascended cultivators had fought all their life to reach this stage, so they were usually better than local Divine Transformation cultivators.

After Maria's ascension, she also joined one such organization, Justrapox. Justrapox was the leading organization of Grouter Town since the organization's leader was also the Townhead.

Grouter Town was only a low-level town as the highest level in the town was only peak Divine Transformation and that too there was only one person of that level, the Townhead.

Maria didn't want to join the organization but she had no other choice since joining the organization was the only way to get her hands over the cultivation art.

Without any cultivation art, she would be stuck at this level for an unknown amount of time. Maria didn't ascend only to adventure across the Sacred Dimension but she also wanted to reach the store.

If her level were low, she wouldn't be able to reach the store and see the store owner again.

***

It hadn't been long since Maria joined the organization, as it had only been several days since her ascension.

If things weren't going the way she wanted, then it was also not troubling her, so Maria didn't face any issues till now.

However, the silent times didn't last long, and on the fifth day of Maria's ascension, the Townhead's son saw her.

Maria's face wasn't otherwordly, but it was still beautiful. The son proposed to Maria, expecting a yes in response since his father was none other than the Townhead.

The son didn't feel attracted to Maria because of her beauty but because of her race. Since Maria was a human, someone from a different race, it turned the heat on for the Townhead's son.

When the offer had come Maria's way, she had somewhat expected what her refusal would cause. But despite that, Maria refused since she already had Aakesh in her heart.

As Maria had expected, the refusal worsened the situation as the Townhead's son got angry and attempted to force himself on Maria.

That attempt seemed to remind her of the worst phase of her life, and she fought back. Since both the son and Maria were at the early Divine Transformation level, Maria overpowered the man.

Getting overpowered by Maria resulted in the man turning insane from rage. Maria had held her hands since the consequences of killing the man would be too dire for her. It was unfair, but after living for more than a thousand years, Maria understood the ways of the world.

After the man turned insane, Maria had no choice but to go for the kill. At that time, it was either the man's life or hers. She chose her, as anyone else would, and killed the man.

After killing the man, Maria left the town since she needed to hide before the Townhead found out about his son's death.

Around seven hours after Maria left, the Townhead found out about his son's death.

In anger, the Townhead sent a group of early Divine Transformation cultivators, led by an intermediate Divine Transformation, to chase Maria.

Maria's chase didn't last long in the pursuit of the group, as around three hours after the group left, they found signs of Maria.

The group then began to follow the signs left by Maria, unaware that a pair of eyes were looking at them.

***

Since Maria was not only the head of an organization but also the top adventurer on the leaderboard, she had to deal with a wide variety of situations in Panagea. The scenes here were one of the many she had gone through.

The group was too strong for her to fight back, even if she were to take the intermediate Divine Transformation level cultivator out of the situation.

Maria's eyes were calm as she saw the group follow the signs she had deliberately left to mislead them. Maria could only hope that the group would not sense anything wrong.

If they discovered that Maria had left the signs on purpose, she would only have two options if she wanted to survive this situation. First, she needed to flee to a location where neither the group nor the Towhead could locate her. Second, kill this group and then leave after ending all her troubles here.
