It had been half a year since I had last seen Jamal and Jackson. Time may have only passed a few months for me, but for the kids inside the worlds I created, it had been fifty years. As I greeted them, I could see that both of them had grown stronger and more mature.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" I greeted them warmly.
"Teacher! It's great to see you again," Jamal replied excitedly.
Jackson nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we've missed you, did something happen while we were away?"
I grinned at them, "Well, you didn't miss much during the half-months period. But I have something for you two."
I handed each of them a spiritual weapon, Jamal received a saber and Jackson an ax, which was their weapon of choice. As they familiarized themselves with their new weapons, Jackson seemed hesitant and I could tell he wanted to ask me something.
"Teacher, I am now at the ascension stage, but I still feel that I can get much stronger. Is there a higher level?" he asked.
Even Jamal looked curious now. I chuckled, "Of course there is. Look at me, do you think I am this strong by being a measly ascension stage expert?"
Jackson and Jamal's eyes widened in surprise. They knew that if they were to use all their power, they could destroy a whole planet. So to hear their teacher call the ascension stage "measly" was quite a shock.
Jamal asked, "Then what level are you in, teacher?"
I smiled, "You don't have to know my level since you are far from reaching it. Anyway, you should familiarize yourselves with the weapons I gave you. Don't forget the true purpose of cultivation is to help against the aliens."
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
For the next six months, I stayed with Jamal and Jackson as more of the kids started coming out of the worlds I created. Each time someone came out, I would welcome them and give them a weapon. It was great to see how much they had all grown.
During this time, I switched positions with my clone several times as I missed Emil dearly. I would check on him constantly, making sure he was safe and happy. As much as I loved spending time with my students, my heart would always long to be with my son.

I stood before the group of kids, filled with pride as I watched them become powerful experts. But this was only the beginning of my plan. "Congratulations to all of you for making it out and reaching new heights of power," I said. "I would love to celebrate this occasion, but I see that everyone is eager to move on to the next part of the plan. So, let me explain what will happen from now on."
I cleared my throat and addressed the group of kids in front of me. "As my direct disciples, it is forbidden for you to interfere in the war against aliens. Instead, your task is to scatter around the world and wait for my signal to start teaching cultivation to humans. You can establish sects, schools, or even cults if you want, but make sure you take at least three disciples."
I paused to let that sink in before continuing, "Now, let me explain what my signal will be."

As my disciples dispersed to begin their new mission, It was time for me to do my part of the plan.
Earth simply could not support an abundance of cultivators without natural treasures and a sufficient amount of Qi. I knew that it was time for the planet to evolve. With a determined sigh, I flew out into outer space near Earth, and opened my arms wide. The process that I was about to undertake would require a great deal of my energy. I watched as my energy flowed through me and out into the planet, creating energy veins that crisscrossed all over the Earth. After several minutes of intense focus, the transformation was complete. With these new energy veins, the Earth would now have an abundant amount of Qi for the next thousand years.It was a necessary step to ensure that the cultivation era could begin.
