Without a second thought, Axel grabbed his phone and began to text Mark.

"Hey, man. I have already dealt with my world's problems. Do you think you could get me into some rift soon?" Axel texted.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you say that you needed a few days to fix it? It's been only a few hours since we talked about this in the store." Mark replied.

"Well, the situation in my world was much better than I predicted, so I didn't need to spend a lot of time fixing it. Now, what I need is for my world to gain experience fighting while I get some juicy loot that could boost my progress."

"If you say so."

"Can you get me into a rift or not?"

"Let me check if we have any vacancies this week."

After that, Mark didn't reply for a few minutes before messaging Axel again.

"You are lucky. We have the right to a rift that will open the day after tomorrow in the evening. It would be a group of four. A member of the "Weapons of the Gods," two customers who have purchased their participation, and you will be present, while a higher ranking member of my group will ensure that everything is under control. This higher-rank member will only lend you a hand if the group fails at cleaning up the rift."

"That sounds perfect."

"Great, I will sign you up then. Tomorrow I will let you know more about the details and where you will need to go to take part in the rift.

"Thanks for everything." Axel wrote in the last message.

Seeing that he was going to take part in a rift, he couldn't contain himself and immediately wrote a message for his friends.

"What? Already? How can this be fair?" William replied.

"I thought that you needed some time to fix your world." Adam wrote

"I thought that too, but my world has managed to adapt to everything that happened in the fight against Emma. I would dare to say that my current world would be capable of destroying my previous world without much effort." Axel replied." Well, maybe I'm overestimating my world a bit, but it is stronger than before, for sure.

After that, Axel began to explain to his friends how his world had developed life-energy and how he had guided the cultivators to discover it so they could use it against the corruption.

"You appear to have everything under control."Adam wrote

"Well, I managed to stabilize my world, but I'm far from having everything under control."

"Why is that?" Adam asked.

"It seems like some cultivators have found a way to become stronger by using pure corruption, and I fear that that method will become the norm to breakthrough to the next rank in cultivation. Because of this, I need to create their path before the corrupt one becomes the standard way, "Axel explained. "For now, I have placed some requirements to delay the appearance of this new level of cultivation, but if I don't think of something to continue it, things could become pretty messy."

"You could make a new realm in your cultivation add-on where the main difference is a quantitative change. Instead of storing five energy units, the people of the next rank would store eleven." William suggested

"That could be an option, but I need to do something more complex. I can't simply increase the numbers each time I have to create new ranks for my systems. If not, they would become too simple, and they would not take advantage of the potential of the other add-ons." Axel replied.

"Well, it is your world. Do as you want," William said.

"You should investigate how cultivation worlds tend to advance. That could help you get some ideas to use in your world or even find something that fits it perfectly." Adam suggested.

"I guess that's what I will do until the day after tomorrow. Thanks for everything, guys." Adam replied.

After that, it didn't take long for him to go to sleep.

The next day, he spent all his free time reading about cultivation add-ons, world-building, and even reading some cultivation novels. He needed to get all the inspiration possible to change his add-on.

Creating a new rank on a cultivation add-on wasn't an unimportant thing. If done right, it could mean a boost to the power of his world, and if done wrong, it would make him waste tons of resources trying to fix it, so he wanted to make sure that his decision was the best possible.

On that day, he received a message from Mark that told him about where he would have to go to take part in the rift, and the next day, he left his house while going to that place.
