All of Emma's and Ning's cores were in the Physical Improvement realm and thus were low on Essence when they walked out. Because of how strong their body was from the start, they couldn't even reap any benefits of having superior physical strength at all.
Umbra had now reached incredibly close to the Divine realm and her two cubs were both in the 5 Sense Improvement realm.
The male cub, which was now named Lory, was around the size of an adult white cat. He still had the body and face of a cub and was technically still one, but he had the intelligence of a 3-year-old human.
He had a playful personality and would run around a lot, jumping around everyone when he wasn't learning something.
His sister, the female cub that was named Lyra, was slightly smaller in size than him. She was leaner and less playful than her brother. She mostly spent time with her mother, or on Emma's shoulders.
Never did she like to come to Ning's body at all.
Lory on the other hand feared no one and would climb up on anyone if he got the chance to.
Both Lory and Lyra had 2 cores, which were Shadow Core and Pure Core. They were taught to keep their Shadow Core visible at all times and hide the Pure Core.
Because of the possibilities that Pure Core gave one, they did not wish for anyone else to learn about them having it.
Just like the two cubs, Ning and Emma also used one Essence at all times as was possible, and the ones they used were the ones that caused the most underestimation.
Emma forever had Wind Core in the front. As for Ning, his was weirder, but he had Sound Essence in the front.
Sound was one of the weirdest Essence to exist for sure, but it wasn't the weirdest or strongest he had, so it was the one he chose to show.
Not that it made any sense right now. He was unfortunately not able to use any right now as he was still in the 5 Sense Improvement realm.
He wanted to stay in the Origin for a longer period, at least until he reached the Essence Manifestation realm, but his daughter wanted to enjoy the life of a weaker Essence ranker, so they had to leave.
They now flew over the island that held the Origin. Ning swiped his hand in front of him and created a small map showing the 3 massive continents.
"Where should we go next?" he asked his daughter.
Emma looked at the map for a while and said, "Show me weak regions. Ones where the highest rank is Low Essence Soul realm."
Ning nodded and asked the system. Suddenly the map darkened with a bunch of locations lighting up instead.
"So much still," Emma thought. "Include only places where the average strength of the ones that actively absorb Essence is Essence Sense realm and above."
A lot of the cities suddenly dimmed, but the ones remaining was still a lot.
"Hmm," Emma thought a bit more.
"What is there is consider?" Ning asked. "Just choose one so we can leave."
"Wait. I need to start from a place that isn't really that bad," Emma said. "Oh yes, a place that isn't lawless or has a low crime rate."
A bunch more cities were erased from the bright areas, most of which were on the edges of countries and empires where the empire's law wasn't followed very much.
"Are you worried about something?" Ning asked. "I can protect you. Heck, you can protect yourself."
Emma shook her head. "In lawless zones, I am afraid I would get into fight with serious criminals that deserve to die. Unfortunately, I can't really find the will to kill anyone. This Will in me stops me from having such thoughts, so it would cause some problems."
"I see," Ning said. He sometimes forgot that Emma couldn't hurt another human back on Earth. All she could do was watch in silence and let people do what they wanted to.
Ning doubted that it was the same here as well given that this wasn't earth and she wasn't this planet's will, but given that she was never a violent person, he could understand that she didn't want to be violent starting now.
She would remain the pacifist that she always was.
"Okay, now we have some cities that we can go," Ning said. "Let's go."
"One last thing," Emma said. "Only show places where Essence Beasts are accepted. Better if they actively encourage you have have one."
"Oh," Ning looked at the beast that were flying behind him. He hadn't thought about them at all.
He would have come up with something if they weren't allowed to enter the city, but making sure such a problem never came up in the first place was definitely the better way.
The map dimmed a lot more with only a handful of cities in each continent lighting up. Finally, Emma chose one.
"This!" she pointed at a location that was on the western side of the Blueflame continent, a city in the empire known as the BrightFire Empire.
Inside the BrightFire Empire, she chose a city next to the ocean that was known as the Trobble City.
Ning looked at the location of the city and shrugged. It was relatively on the outskirts of the BrightFire Empire and was thus a less well known city.
"Are you sure this is the one you want to go to?" Ning asked his daughter.
Emma nodded. "This seems to be the best one," she said. "Let's go."
Ning nodded and looked back at Umbra and the two cubs. "Are you all ready?" he asked.
"Yes," Umbra said and the two cubs nodded.
Ning held onto his daughter's hand and then reached out to hold onto the beasts. Then, once everyone was in his grasp, he closed his eyes to choose a suitable place for teleportation.
Once he found it, he teleported.
