Chapter 17 - A Gate That Changed Everything

Once Nash finished talking and everyone collected their bravery to think properly, a hand gradually raised into the air after several minutes of silence.

"I have no objection toward any of the rules you have listed and mentioned, but I would like to add another one."

Nash nodded and gestured to the man, who seemed to be in his early thirties, to proceed on talking.

The man seeing this took a deep breath, making his Fear Level decrease slightly, and started to talk.

"I would like to add a voting rule, a method that allows us to decided over things the majority of us want."

When the rest heard this, almost everyone nodded in agreement, as this idea seemed quite a promising one and could save a lot of trouble in the future while also pushing them toward a path where no one's command decided but the voice of the plurality.

However, when others saw that Nash didn't talk nor answered for a long time, even though the idea was great and made sense, the crowd became a bit confused.

After a few seconds, when the atmosphere seemed to turn tense, Nash raised his gaze and asked, "And how will this voting system work once all of us unlocks their Legacy? What will happen if one disagrees with the rest while also having bigger strength and decides to force his or her ideal on us? I hope you understand if that ever happens, then chaos could easily emerge."

Nash's question silenced the entire crowd in a blink, as those issues were indeed troublesome and difficult to overcome.

Nash watched as everyone tried to think of a solution, but the more they did, the deeper their unrest and the more obvious their helplessness became.

After many minutes later, Nash could do nothing but sigh, and say, "Then how about this? We will hold a meeting at the beginning of every month where everyone must attend, and I will supervise everything to avoid any unnecessary problems."

And then he continued, "And also, if I ever fail to protect what the majority of you want, I will make sure to be the very first one to spill those blood that tried to force something they shouldn't have!"

Once Nash finished talking, his gaze already turned cold and indifferent, showing that right now, he was more than dead serious about his decision.

Even if the sky collapsed onto his body or the ground cracked below his feet, Nash expressed his determination that only a few could!

And what was even more shocking, that no one dared to laugh at his bold statement at all! Everyone present knew and understood way too well that Nash had more than enough validity to support his declaration no matter what.

Controlling two terrifying creatures and three corpses' souls, killing an army of Sky Beasts, and rescuing more than a handful of humans under less than half a day from a place where hope seemed to perish... He was more than qualified to oversee all the gatherings.

And soon, when everyone reached this point as they have all recalled what kind of amazing and terrifyingly unbelievable feats Nash achieved all alone, several hands raised high up into the air, each of their owner holding a firm and solid assurance!

"I have no objection with that!"

"Me neither!"

"I would be more than glad about that!"

"Me too!"

People one after another agreed with Nash's idea, as they knew this was the least they could do except giving him their deepest respect and gratitude after what he has done for them!

Nash nodded and after confirming a few more things with the rest while also adding some minor rules that the majority had agreed on, he went back to the cockpit to his uncle and watched as Revio lead them to their new home that meant their fresh new start in this harsh and cold reality.

About a thousand years ago, when The Ancient Path had been opened, not only humans were the only ones that were affected, but the whole cosmos, or to be more precise, the entire galaxy that existed in the Human Dimension.

Almost every animal, insect, or other living beings that existed inside the Human Dimension acquired extraordinary powers, changing and throwing the logical sense that humans have believed in right into the trash!

Some creatures obtained element affinities while some evolved to the point, where they could rule over entire regions that people called countries in the old world. There were even those few beasts that developed and grew so much that they have become the sole monarchs of entire planets with no competitors that could rival them much less threaten their lives!

And it wasn't only the Human Dimension that seemed to undergo such changes, but every other that opened their Ancient Path in their own dimension, including the central dimension where all Ancient Paths led and all races coexisted with each other, the Ancient Dimension!

There, not only were beasts and creatures that controlled entire galaxies instead of a few planets, but also races that rivaled with their strength for further and better resources, while killing those that were weaker than them!

In the Ancient Dimension, and almost inside every other dimension which has been acquired by another race, only the strong commanded while the weak bowed their heads with no question!

And unfortunately, every human inside the Human Dimension fell into this situation where the strong devoured the weak, while the weak had no chance to resist at all!

But luckily not for Nash and the small number of people he was able to save, as they have escaped from Azure Planet a long time ago, exactly a month ago to be more precise.

Ever since day one, they have been in space, fleeing as far away as possible with their stolen spaceship, looking for a planet that met the requirements for normal survival.

And thanks to the insane amount of food and drink supply that was held on the ship, they had no problem remain alive.

However, because there was a lot of human and the stock was obviously not infinite, Nash knew that they had at least a few more weeks, about two at most, before they run out of food and drink completely.

But as they still had time to finally find a habitable planet, Nash decided to concentrate on improving his Dimension Refining Physique with the help of Erys.

BAM!

"Cough!"

Inside this huge and spacious room that seemed to be a practice cabin, planned for Sky Beasts to fight and refine their combat skills in, Nash's body crashed into one of the walls on the sides, while blood could be seen flowing out of his mouth because of the powerful impact that could have killed any other human with ease.

"That... will be enough for today," Nash exclaimed in a hoarse voice toward Erys in the distance as he wiped the blood off his mouth, and once he struggled onto his feet, several texts manifested in his line of sight.

[Successful Breakthrough!]
