Inala was currently an Empyrean Zinger. But, he wasn't a true Empyrean Zinger.
That was because he could only transform into an Empyrean Zinger. While in his transformed state, he expended Prana to remain in that form. Therefore, he was limited in how long he could remain transformed as an Empyrean Zinger.
But an Empyrean Zinger Pranic Beast lived without such a limitation. After all, it was in its actual body.
This was the major difference between a cultivator and Pranic Beast. The Tertiary Nature of Cultivator allowed Brangara to freely switch forms between human and Empyrean Boar King.
Both were his actual bodies and hence, he didn't expend any Prana in either form. That level of freedom further contributed to his strength.
He could live, eat, shit, and cultivate as a human. He could live, eat, shit, and cultivate as an Empyrean Boar King. There was no drawback in either form.
Inala's Primary Nature of Royalty was similar, but all it did was allow him to change forms between male and female versions of himself. In his male form, he was an Empyrean Zinger King. And in his female form, he was an Empyrean Zinger Queen.
Both Royalty and Cultivator were equal in terms of power, but they differed in application. The Nature of Cultivator allowed a Pranic Beast to take on a human form and cultivate like a human, gaining many lives after entering the Life Stage.
The Nature of Royalty allowed the Prana Bomb to mutate into its higher version, a Life Bomb.
In the Life Stage, a cultivator could build multiple bodies and possess many lives. A cultivator at the 4-Life Stage had four bodies and four lives.
If needed, that cultivator could make his four bodies travel in different directions. While fleeing in a battle, by splitting himself into four and running in different directions, he could save himself.
As long as a single body was alive, he too would survive. And as long as he had enough resources, he could cultivate and enter the Life Stage once again. All bodies created at the Life Stage were actual bodies of the cultivator.
That wasn't the end of it. Life Stage granted a cultivator power unlike other stages. It was an overpowered concept.
If the cultivator at 4-Life Stage remained a single entity, it meant his four selves were stacked into one. Meaning, the strength, power, mental ability, reaction time, speed, etc. were all stacked upon each other.
It wasn't a simple addition of one plus one equals two. With four stacking, the cultivator's strength didn't simply increase by four times.
No!
He had four times more strength. But add that to four times speed, reflex, muscle density, etc. the end result was an exponential increase in power.
This continued to stack until the 10-Life Stage where even cultivators that had made Human Avatars out of iron became powerhouses that could face a Gold Grade Pranic Beast.
The exponential stacking of power was what led to this. That was the reason why Brangara became the Boar King, a terrifying Mystic Grade Pranic Beast.
His strength and potential as a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast surpassed the likes of Mystic Empyrean Tentacles.
That was because, despite being a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle only had one body.
But if Brangara were to reach the 10-Life Stage, he would possess ten bodies. The difference between their power would be heaven and earth.
It was why even at the 3-Life Stage, the Boar King was capable of fighting against 43 Empyrean Tusks and their associated Mammoth Clan to a draw.
Had he been at the 4-Life Stage, the herd would have been annihilated, as simple as that. It was why Resha died a dog's death at the end of Sumatra Chronicles, unable to even scratch the Boar King.
Inala wanted to make baby Gannala obtain the Nature of Cultivator. That would easily birth the strongest Empyrean Tusk to ever exist.
Undrakha had similar thoughts back then, which was why they kept Brangara in captivity and brought him with them as they left Sumatra Continent. The research was underway already, but they met with lots of obstacles along the way.
In the end, they didn't succeed because Brangara became a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, the Empyrean Boar King. He escaped and caused the research to halt.
It was known whether the Mammoth Clan continued the research after reaching the other continent. Maybe they never recovered after most of the researchers died when the Bolt of Transcendence hit Brangara, vaporising everything in its path, including the researchers.
But except for the data collected in the last two years, pretty much everything else was passed to Gannala by the then-1st Empyrean Tusk through an inheritance.
And now, that information was with him, since he obtained it from the previous Gannala through his Empyrean Slip Prime Skill.
Since there was enough research data about gaining the Nature of Cultivator, Inala wished to continue in their footsteps and succeed. He didn't know about other Empyrean Tusks, but baby Gannala was his daughter.
Meaning, he could influence her, since she was his blood. With the help of the Empyrean Slip Prime Skill and Mystic Skill Creator, Inala had the means to figure out a solution.
As long as baby Gannala obtains the Nature of Cultivator, she can seclude herself as a human in a massive Human Empire and accumulate strength using their resources.
With a lifespan of two millennia, she had more than enough time to build her strength to the peak and reach the 10-Life Stage.
Inala intended to kill the Boar King long before that. But just in case he failed, there would be someone strong enough to kill him in the far future.
Baby Gannala could continue his research results and maybe even pass it down to the Empyrean Tusks she births. As long as a bunch of Empyrean Tusks possess the Nature of Cultivator, they'll become terrifying enough to give even peak Brangara a challenge.
Moreover, if she succeeds in her path and attains Mystic Grade, baby Gannala could truly give the Boar King a run for his money.
Inala didn't wish to stop at that point. Even though Empyrean Tusks had reached peak evolution, as evidenced by the prefix of Empyrean in their name, mutation was still an option.
Inala planned to make baby Gannala mutate. And in response, he planned to awaken the Secondary Nature of Royalty in her.
Yes, by combining Royalty and Cultivator in her, she would become a pinnacle existence surpassing the Boar King. It seemed like a pipe dream at present, but Inala wasn't afraid.
He didn't hesitate at the challenge and gently cradled baby Gannala, truly intending to succeed. He wasn't a power type like Resha who rushed head-first into a battle. He was a strategic type to scheme around and create things, bringing new variables into the mix.
Therefore, working hard to give baby Gannala the two Natures of Royalty and Cultivator was in line with his nature. And now that he had a solid goal to strive towards, Inala began to busy himself.
"Renduldu, I challenged you at the start that I'll surpass Resha. I need to make a correction," He muttered, resolute, "Add Brangara to the list. I'll surpass both."
He stared at baby Gannala, "And my descendants too shall do the same."
