Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 122: The Seal Around the Earth

After thinking for a moment, Eleanor asked, "If you achieve perfect harmonization, then you can break through to the Saint level. Where would you go if you’re expelled from Earth?"

Fiona replied, "You misunderstood. On Earth, we can only reach the level of perfect harmonization. To break through to the Saint level, we must go to the other world. You already know that werewolves typically live more than 500 years. But that only applies to those who have pocket dimensions with abundant spiritual energy. Earth’s natural spiritual energy is far too thin to sustain such longevity. If you look around, you’ll see that only a handful of werewolves across the world have surpassed 200 years of age. Most of the long-lived ones never returned from the other world."

She paused, letting the weight of her words settle, then continued, "In that world, we’ve established cities resembling those from Earth’s medieval era. We call them fort cities... strongholds where various supernatural species live side by side. Due to the abundance of spiritual energy there, beings can not only live longer but also cultivate faster. It’s the only place where we can truly grow past our limits."

Eleanor’s eyes widened with curiosity. "So, to become a Saint, you have to go there?"

"Exactly," Fiona nodded. "But there’s a catch. Once someone becomes a Saint, they can never return to Earth. There is a powerful seal surrounding our planet... an ancient and strict restriction that prevents any Saint-level being from re-entering. Several Saints have attempted to return in the past, defying the seal with brute force. They were all severely punished. Their cultivation cores shattered under the backlash, and because their mortal bodies couldn’t withstand the sudden loss of centuries’ worth of energy, they died within days."

Eleanor’s voice grew soft. "That means... when you go to break through to the Saint level, you’ll have to say goodbye to us."

Fiona offered a faint smile. "Yes. That’s the price we pay for seeking transcendence. But reaching that stage isn’t easy. It takes time... many visits to the other world, each filled with trials and danger. It’s impossible to progress to that level using Earth’s resources alone. I’ve already traveled there three times. My grandmother has gone more than ten times and is now at the threshold... perfect harmonization. Soon, she will leave us forever to seek her final ascension."

Eleanor frowned. "But if the other world is so rich in energy, why would anyone come back to Earth at all?"

Fiona replied, her voice solemn. "Do you think that world is peaceful? It’s a land of constant struggle and survival. You can only carry spiritual equipment when you go... no food, no modern supplies. Anything non-spiritual is destroyed during teleportation. That means you’re thrown into a world where you must fight for every scrap of food, territory, and energy. Just imagine... a realm strong enough to allow supernatural beings to evolve. Now consider how powerful the native inhabitants must be."

"Shit... I never thought of that. Now that I think about it, it makes total sense why people want to return to Earth whenever they can... to live
