Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1031

Chapter 1031 Gold

"There's something happening. The Golden Grove is reacting abnormally."

The location was a dark space. However, the moment the first person spoke, one floating face after another began to swirl into existence.

While they looked to be normally sized, in reality, each face was kilometers across, representing just their reserves of Aether. There was no doubt that every one of these old faces was a powerhouse amongst powerhouses, standing firmly within the D-Grade… or maybe even the C.

"Someone is clearing it at an astonishing pace. Given the speed, it feels like someone in the E-Grade, but the settings are set to F. Has there been a glitch?"

"Impossible. The Golden Grove was left by our Ancestors. It wouldn't have a problem."

"It has been a very long time since it was properly maintained."

"You know that the Golden Grove is self-healing."

"Nothing lives forever…"

"There's no problem."

A familiar voice echoed. It wasn't Megean's grandfather, but instead Zayreus'… Niafon.

"What's going on, Niafon?"

"The old bastard found someone who can use Andromeda."

"That's the person going through the Golden Grove right now?"

"Yes."

Silence fell.

"Is this a problem? If Old Brama has finally found someone who can use that thing, it's good for us."

"You know as well as I do that Andromeda can't be used, even if it was possible," Niafon said coldly.

Silence fell once again.

The danger of Andromeda was well known to them. If their enemies knew that it was possible, it would dredge up a great deal of conflict when they weren't nearly ready enough yet.

In fact, there were many here that prepared to never be ready at all.

It had been so long since the doctrines of their Ancestors had been a firm root within them. Wasn't it better to just continue along their current route? Making money while not offending anyone?

Every time they stepped out of that lane… just how many of them ended up dying?

"I disagree." A cold voice came. "I agreed with suppressing Old Brama because his methods weren't getting us anywhere. All he did was wipe out a substantial amount of our capital for a device that couldn't be used by anyone. But now things have changed."

It was the old head of a floating woman that spoke, Yaoyao of the Unitaurs.

The loss of Old Brama's position had obviously declined the strength the Unitaurs had in the guild overall. If there was anyone that wanted to see that situation reversed, it was certainly Yaoyao and her compatriots.

But she wasn't alone. And she also wasn't only speaking for personal reasons either.

They were a pair of warrior Races that seemed to have lost their roots. This wasn't what they were meant to do with the rest of their lives.
