The environment changed, and Minos and Ruth found themselves in another area.
Once again, they found themselves alone in a part of the Continent of Beasts.
Realizing that he would have to follow his instincts to see what exactly the level 100 dragon wanted them to see, Minos took the lead and once again led Ruth through the area.
This time, there were no obvious signs of where they should go, unlike where the level 100 dragon's father had died and been devoured by an enemy.
"Where are we going?" Ruth asked, feeling that this area they were in, although it had the same characteristics as the previous one, was much quieter, and the creatures around seemed to be at peace.
Minos thought and said. "The dragon said that we have something in common. The only thing we have in common besides high talent is the chaotic energy of the giant skeletons... Let's go where this energy takes us."
"Do you feel anything?" Ruth asked, not feeling anything herself.
Minos was helping his people in the Spatial Kingdom grow stronger by stealing the energy from these bones and giving it to them. But while he could 'easily' absorb the special energy from those remains, his people could absorb less than 5% of what he could.
That was pretty good, but it didn't compare to the bonus of the owner of the innate ability behind it!
Even with some of that energy herself, Ruth couldn't feel anything.
But Minos had already absorbed so much of the giant bones that his compatibility with them was currently so good that he could even track the lost giant skeletons through the Spiritual World.
Of course, he would not be able to sense the location of a giant skeleton or anything related to them at a great distance. But he could use his abilities to get to it if there was something like that within an area of a few tens of square kilometers.
And right there, Minos felt something very similar to what he felt from the bones in his Spatial Kingdom.
"I feel something in the northern direction. Let's go there. Maybe that's what the level 100 dragon wants to show us". He commented to his wife, smiling.
The two walked for a few minutes, quickly passing several creatures on their way, which could do nothing to them as they were mere memories.
After a while, the two reached the top of a volcano where they could see the burning red lava in this unique "lake," a small island in the middle of it.
Right there was a huge white mass, half covered by land, half in sight of Minos and Ruth.
When they saw it, they both narrowed their eyes and realized that there was indeed one of those skeletons.
Minos did not know where it was since Henricus Longus only had the location of the giant skeletons in the Central Continent and part of the Divine Continent.
But Emperor Stuart was shocked for a different reason than Ruth.
While Ruth was admiring her husband's skill and watching the dragon floating in the lava of that scalding 'pool,' Minos was sensing the shape of that skeletal creature.
'This was obviously the body of one of the 101 races, specifically a bestial race.' He narrowed his eyes, noticing the similarity of this remnant to dragon bodies.
'Four wings, four legs... They have more wings than current dragons, but that means nothing. Losing two wings is much easier than losing the original size of these creatures.' Minos thought, remembering that the ancestors of today's humans probably belonged to the Fah'um of Dunov's race.
Minos had a theory that he had never revealed to anyone. It linked natural talent to the genetic heritage of the 101 races that managed to leave their "mark" on this world.
According to Minos, people with high talents who had the potential to learn soul techniques to form the Soul Avatar were more compatible with the beings of the 101 races than those who were unable to reach level 70.
People with White and Blue talents had cultivation limits at levels 49 and 69, so they could not form the Avatar.
To Minos, these talents were nothing more than a lack of compatibility with the Fah'um of Dunov's race.
The higher one's potential, the greater one's compatibility with these ancient races.
In his theory, these White and Blue talented humans probably carried more genetic inheritance from their powerless ancestors than from the people of the 101 races. Their compatibility with these fantastic beings was so low that they could not even display the basic characteristic of these races, the enormous size of their bodies.
But talent alone would not explain everything. For Minos, the physique also influenced this theory, and he had in mind that some innate powers were more or less close to those creatures.
However, this did not mean that the direct descendants of those creatures were more powerful than modern humans or beasts. At the beginning of the spiritual human race in the Spiritual World, the descendants of those beings were not powerful, and many perished. At that time, a great catastrophe had destroyed much of Panvuter, and many of those early descendants had undoubtedly died.
Even though they were genetically very close to those magnificent creatures, those who survived were left in a terrible situation. In a new world where the existing essence was utterly different from the old one, they were probably limited to levels much lower than their ancestors.
Techniques had not yet been created then, so they did not have the same kind of technology to access their bloodlines.
Even with much less compatibility than today's high-level humans, those beings were probably much weaker than today's experts.
But weakened or not, these beings had passed on the genes of their powerful parents to the next generations. Over millions of years, these beings developed new technologies and methods to access their ancient powers.
Those with promising talents and high-level Physiques were currently more compatible with these ancient skeletons, so they were naturally more capable of approaching the greatness of these beings.
Minos thought so, but to this day, he didn't have any proof if it was just a coincidence that made him think of this theory or if this could actually be behind many things in the Spiritual World.
When he saw the corpse and the dragon swimming in the volcano, Minos noticed not only the great structural similarity of their bodies but also the energy they were emitting.
Henricus Lognus didn't have the same sensitivity to those bones, so he hadn't noticed it in his time. But already with a lot of chaotic energy in him, Minos immediately realized that this dragon and the giant skeleton were emitting a very similar sensation!
But then he heard. "This is me swimming near the remains of the Ancestral Dragon God. This place in front of you is the Sacred Dragon Altar, where only level 99 Demigods have the right to enter..."
