Sam went into the tempest valley and stood in front of the Old Beast.


"I have broken through. Now tell me, where should I go?"


Sam asked.


"Open the Dimensional Drifter and let me see."


With that, Sam did as he asked and opened the dimensional drifter. To his surprise, the lock on some of the realms and planets was unlocked when he broke through and it is exactly what Old Beast. Sam doesn"t know how he knew so much about the Dimensional Drifter, but it is helpful to him and that is what concerned him the most.


He looked through the various realms. But most of them are locked. There are only three places that are unlocked at this moment apart from the desolate realm which Sam is in right now.


The first one is Naga Loka obviously and the second one is called the Banished realm.


The third one is the realm called The realm of the undead.


When Sam looked at the names he was extremely surprised. The most surprising was when he looked at the world the realm of Undead.


He didn"t expect that he could gain access to that world, but he had his apprehensions as he doesn"t know exactly what that realm is and how it would be and that is where the Old Beast helps him.


"The two realms you got access to, as humans, but they don"t have any significant position in the order of society or the food chain.


They are the bottom of both.


In these two realms, humans are reared like livestock so that they can either work or be used as food.


The realm of undead is actually a place where some of the undead creatures are banished to. Half of the realm is a graveyard to the demonic realm, they will just throw away the carca.s.ses of their hunt or their slaves into this place. Half of the planets in this realm are occupied by that. They turned into natural undead creatures without any contractual support.


They live off on the death energy that was completely occupying the realm. The other half of the realm is housed by some other creatures like Vampires, the Ghouls. The Lich, the Wight, The Specter, the Banshee.


There are so many more races that rule the rest of the planets, even though the death energy is less compared to the graveyard planets which only has normal corpse undead with less sentience and intelligence, the rest of the planets that are ruled by other races have their own civilizations. This place is also like Naga Loka, but instead of Miasma, you will be surrounded by death energy.


Since you are also a necromancer, you can manage, but it would be hard for your friends to adapt.


That is not even the worst part though.


In all the races that I mentioned, humans are their livestock. Even though they use humans for their abilities, they only do so for a select few and the major part is still livestock.


The vampires breed them for their blood, the ghouls for their flesh, the specters and the banshee for their souls, the lich and the wight for their subordinates and reproduction, they all look for humans to fulfill these things as the humans have high fertility.


Some of the races even use them for the sensual pleasures."


Old Beast paused as he looked at Sam and observing his reaction. After not receiving anything, he said.


"I don"t advise you to go to the Undead realm unless it is absolutely necessary. The planets in there are connected with portals. Since they were thrown into that unfair place that is the compensation for them.


So, if you really go there, you wouldn"t be able to miss an encounter with any of the races, and with the quality of your body and soul, they would go crazy over you.


Anyway, let us talk about the Banished realm.


This realm also only has one habitable planet. The rest of the planets does have resources but they are not exactly suitable for development. The situation and the environment of those planets need some of the certain cultivation to develop and a person of that caliber wouldn"t bother looking at the resources these planets offer.


The one planet that habitable is actually a prison. They forcefully made it habitable for some races to survive. But still, there are some places on this planet that are not accessible to any race.


Here humans are a little better than Livestock, but not by much. At least not all the races that are present here would try to eat you.


There are three races in this place. Minotaurs, the Dwarves, and the Orcs.


Out of three, the Minotaurs don"t eat meat, but they use it as a fertilizer for their crops. Dwarves do eat meat, but they wouldn"t eat human meat, the Orcs, only eat meat.


Apart from these three races, the humans also stay in this place.


Even though not all humans are slaves, most of them are. They use slaves for farming, mining, eating and all other ch.o.r.es a servant would do.


There might be some humans who gained enough strength and escaped the place. But they don"t fight back, they just stay in the wilderness.


The friendliest race in these three are dwarves as most of them would treat humans with some compa.s.sion and normal workers.


They are good at living along with humans. But even there few humans have any form of status.


They welcome the slaves that ran away from the orcs and Minotaurs.


As for the main occupation of this world, it is agriculture. The three races have one thing in common and that is they are all banished in here by their respective original races.


The dwarves in here are of certain tribes rejected and thrown away by the remaining dwarves from their own realm, the orcs are the tribes that are rejected by the higher orcs in their own realm.


The Minotaurs are also rejected race by the beast-men and many other races.


They are all banished and there is a curse placed on the planet. The spiritual energy absorption rate is lesser than the spiritual energy of the Desolate planet we are in.


The energy is dense, but they couldn"t easily absorb as nature rejects them a bit.


But they can increase the spiritual energy by another method, eating. They will warm various types of crops and gain spiritual energy through consuming them and they eat the meat of the beasts to gain energy.


As they gather energy like that, they will breakthrough and for every breakthrough, the seal will loosen a bit.


After they reached a certain cultivation level, they will have a chance at going back to their own realms where they can cultivate freely.


This is the general gist of that planet."


Old Beast explained and Sam carefully digested all the knowledge he gained about the new planets.


"Which realm do you want me to go?"


"If I were you, I would go to the Banished realm. The undead realm is too early for you. It would be suitable for you, if you are in later stages of Pre-transcendent and you can even improve your necromancy. But now, you are just a juicy meal for most races.


As for why it was also accessible for you even with your strength not sufficient, there is a connection between both the realms.


Since both of them are realms used for banishment they are nearby and also the guardian for both the realms is same.


That is the only reason I could think of."


After that Sam asked many doubts regarding this realm. Even though, he craved for something and not sure what exactly it was, he at least wanted to give the thoughts of Old beast some merit and test it out.


If all he is missing is his friends, then it is better for him to go with his friends on an adventure so that he can confirm if the things were as the Old Beast said.


He got all the information he can and asked all the questions he could think of. After getting everything ready, he went back to the city where his friends are waiting. Apart from his friends there are two more people. Arman and Chatur.


Chatur is going to be helpful as he can create perfect disguises and could be helpful in an unfamiliar place. As for Arman, he is there to not let him miss the Palace of inheritance location. Since Sam doesn"t have dimensional crosser, he wouldn"t get any default message of the coordinates, but Arman would.


Anyway, Arman is not complaining and he is also extremely willing to go.


When he saw their excited looks, he felt that this decision might be a correct one as they could see the new world.


No matter how many years they are stuck here, they couldn"t expand their horizons. Even though, the Naga loka is mostly similar to human world, Sam did expand his horizons and he learned many new things from this place.


So, when he thought of another adventure, he also felt a little excited.


At least, he wanted it to be a little more exciting than the previous one as the Naga Loka is really too boring.


He opened the dimensional drifter on the top of the tower as four of them entered it before changing the coordinates. He decided to go to the Banished realm first and see what it has to offer.


As he changed the coordinates, all four of them became excited as he activated the machine and disappeared from the spot along with his friends.
