Atlas was quiet for a second and grumbled.
[That's the ridiculous part.]
[Even smarter beings than you already knew about this concept.]
Garion's face instantly became annoyed. "The hell do you mean smarter than me?"
Atlas ignored him completely.
[Ancient cosmic races with billions of years of knowledge already researched similar paths.]
[Some gods themselves attempted it but they couldn't find the correct method.]
Garion frowned slightly. "Method…"
[The path or the method, whatever you want to call it. It is what matters more than the idea.]
[One wrong step and the body collapses.]
[One wrong balance and the soul mutates.]
[One wrong absorption method and the cultivator explodes.]
Garion's mouth twitched slightly. "Damn."
Atlas looked directly into Garion's eyes.
[But you…]
He pointed at Garion again.
[…somehow succeeded on your first real attempt.]
Garion stared blankly for a moment. Then suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahahaha!"
