Wyatt wondered what period would be considered ancient for someone who had lived a few millenniums themselves.

'Wyatt, the myriad realms are a few billion years old. You tell me what period of it I should consider as ancient period,' the Elder Anesthesia Dragon asked Wyatt instead of answering him.

'I hear your point,' Wyatt nodded and asked, 'Then do you think that someone in the ancient tribes had achieved transcendence?'

'It is a popular belief that the prodigies of the ancient forces had achieved transcendence and then carried their tribe with them, explaining why these tribes disappeared. As for my personal view, I believe it is possible. I have to believe because without it only despair remains,' the Dragon answered what it had from other's mouth to the best of its knowledge.

'Then why isn't anyone able to use the path to transcendence left by these tribes to achieve transcendence?' Wyatt was beginning to understand that when it comes to transcendence even the apex ruler-class beings like the Elder Anesthesia Dragon were as clueless as the rest of them or maybe even more because they had access to much more useless information.

'It has to be related to our title demon cores. The ancient tribes only left behind their path to transcendence but never their method of forging the title demon core. It is as if they left behind that map to their home but only those with the key to the home could enter it. Because of this many speculated that the ancient tribes did this for those of their kind that they left being. Some are still searching for remnants of ancient tribes. Which was how the lores of the Mulias tribe's ancestors eating the ninth moon were born.

Still, many smart ones have used the paths of transcendence left by the ancient tribes best suited for their title demon core to seek transcendence, giving birth to the ruler class, the being closest to achieving transcendence. If not for those ancient records ruler-class would never have been possible. We too like the life forms in other primitive worlds would still be stuck at the devil rank.

My Anesthesia Dragon tribe had also done the same to achieve our current strength, if not for being at odds with the Mulias tribe maybe—Whatever, what's done is done. The enemy of my tribe will die today and my tribe will prosper using its ashes,' the Dragon swore, it appeared it would only leave here after making sure that the Deviant Devil was dead.

'What about the world calamity tree?' Wyatt asked out of curiosity. Believing that it would help him with his calamity soul gem's transformation.

'Your ancestor's hunger was their worst enemy. They could amass the strength of the ruler class as easily as they could lose it. That is why I am surprised that you were able to control your hunger in Infinity Library, the den of pixies. I am not criticizing your ancestors, but they were a bunch of dumb trees with many insane gifts. Unfortunately, intelligence was not one of them. They let their hunger dictate their actions. Just like that stupid Deviant Devil, which allowed its addiction to dictate its actions,' the Dragon somehow managed to connect everything to the Deviant Devil.

Then, the Dragon immediately began to praise Wyatt, 'You have soon more self-control than your ancestors, which is why I have huge expectations for you. I have a feeling you will achieve something greater than any of your ancestors had achieved.'

'I see,' Wyatt gained nothing new about the World Calamity Tree from the dragon.

It appeared the World Calamity Trees depended on draining energy from the realm they took root in. Once that realm was destroyed because of their exploitative behavior, they would use the strength they gained to sustain themselves till they found another world. This cycle kept repeating itself. Fitting their name World Calamity Tree.

No wonder the Dragon went as far as to call the world calamity trees stupid. But that would mean the Anesthesia Dragon were the brains of their partnership. Now, Wyatt knew why the Librarian was able to destroy the World Calamity Trees. He faced no challenge fighting against the combination of dumb and dumber.

'Are these paths of transcendence left behind by the ancient tribes available in the Infinity Library?' Wyatt asked the Dragon, though could already guess the answer.

'Yes, but you would have to be at least a tier-1 executive VVIP member of the Infinity Library. But if one manages to climb to that rank in the Infinity Library then they are already part of Infinity Library so in a way that knowledge is not available to the outsiders.

Even in the dark realm, many, almost ninety percent, still believe there is no path to transcendence. In a way, they are right because as far as I know, no one has achieved transcendence using the path left behind by the ancient tribes. This is why the devils keep exploring the depths of the myriad realms in search of transcendence. If a realm has the lore of transcendence, you will find the dark tribes there,' the Elder Anesthesia Dragon revealed.

However, the more Wyatt listened to the Dragon talk about transcendence the more he felt he had no idea about achieving transcendence. They too were just figuring it out by trying the trial-and-error method. However, they were ahead of the Card Apprentices thanks to their historical records dating back a several millenniums.

'Then, what about the realm will fragments? I heard they help in attaining transcendence,' Wyatt inquired the Dragon about the realm will fragments.

'Yes, the realm will fragment do help. But everything has a limitation. If one could achieve transcendence just by relying on external things, then many would have already attained transcendence by now. Wyatt, you are still in the demon master realm. Knowing all this information beforehand will not be of any help to you but it might harm your confidence. Once the time is right, I reveal what you need. Don't try to run while you are still learning to walk,' the Dragon warned Wyatt that knowing too much wasn't good in most cases as it might just end up overwhelming him.
