Chapter 281 - Legacy of Tens of Thousands of Years
Chapter 281: Legacy of Tens of Thousands of Years
“Senior, I’m curious. You have an endless lifespan, and your strength is almighty. Why did you choose to die?” Qin Chuan voiced his doubts.
Elder Raven shook his head lightly. “There are some things that you won’t understand even if I tell you now.
“When you reach my level, you probably will.”
Qin Chuan nodded his head. Elder Raven did not intend to share anything, so he did not continue probing.
After a brief moment of silence, Elder Raven opened his mouth and said, “Qin Chuan, the tea is getting cold.”
With this reminder, Qin Chuan grinned before picking up his teacup and downing all the tea.
The tea instantly transformed into pure soul power that was injected into his primordial spirit.
His primordial spirit grew from the size of a soybean to the size of a walnut.
Qin Chuan felt extremely energized and felt much more refreshed.
After carefully sensing his power, Qin Chuan estimated that it was comparable to that of a late-stage Soul Splitting cultivator.
He thought that if he had a few more cups of this tea, the power of his soul would probably be comparable to an immortal.
When Qin Chuan had finished drinking, Elder Raven said, “Next, let’s talk about my legacy.”
Qin Chuan grew serious.
He asked, “Senior, how long will the passing down of this legacy take?”
Elder Raven said casually, “If nothing unexpected happens, it should take tens of thousands of years.”
Tens of thousands of years??
When Qin Chuan heard this, he felt as though a bolt from the blue had struck him.
By the time I leave this place, everyone I know might not be here anymore. Who knows, my planet might be gone.
Qin Chuan grew very anxious.
His family and friends were out there.
Right now, they could already be fighting with the Beast Taming Corps.
Without me, how can they win?
However, he was tempted by the legacy before him. Qin Chuan didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
At this moment, Elder Raven said, “Don’t worry. Accepting the legacy here won’t have much impact on the outside world.
“Time here flows differently from the outside world.
“Let’s put it this way!
“One year here is equivalent to only one second in your world.
“Therefore, if you complete the succession of the legacy here, it will probably be less than a day out there.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan’s eyes lit up. He asked in disbelief, “Really?”
Elder Raven smiled without saying anything. At his level, there was no need to prove anything.
Qin Chuan also realized that he had misspoken and hurriedly apologized.
Elder Raven did not blame him. Instead, he began discussing nomological laws with him.
“Qin Chuan, what do you think nomological laws are?” Elder Raven asked.
Qin Chuan didn’t even think about it as he directly replied, “Nomological laws are an even stronger power.”
“Other than that?”
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment before replying, “A necessary element in the construction of a world.”
“What else?”
“A rule. A natural rule.”
Elder Raven nodded with a smile. “What you said is correct. It’s no wonder you could pass my test.
“Ever since I started cultivating, I’ve seen countless geniuses like sand on the beach, yet those like you are very rare.
“You’re not a descendant of an Immortal King, nor are you a person with a soul, but you were able to cultivate to the Soul Splitting realm at such a young age. Moreover, your comprehension of the Laws far exceeds others. I don’t know how long it’s been since such a natural talent like you has appeared.”
Qin Chuan was naturally very pleased inwardly with regards to Elder Raven’s praise, but he did not feel proud.
He knew that he still had a long way to go.
The old man in front of him was an insurmountable mountain.
Although he had the help of the system and his cultivation speed could far exceed others, if he relied entirely on the system, he would never be able to reach the ranks of the truly strong.
The system just supported him. If he wanted to become a truly powerful person, he had to rely on his own hard work.
Qin Chuan felt that he had grown up throughout this journey.
Following that, Elder Raven brought up the Law of Gravity.
Elder Raven said, “In my entire lifetime, I am most proud of my comprehension of the Law of Gravity. I think I have reached the end of it.”
Qin Chuan didn’t deny it.
Indeed, although he had never seen other almighty who cultivated the Law of Gravity, from the [Stone of Nomological Laws] that Elder Raven had formed, one could see how deep his comprehension of the Law of Gravity was.
Elder Raven Man continued, “Other than the Law of Gravity, I also have rather significant comprehension towards space and time.”
Qin Chuan didn’t deny this either.
He was extraordinary just by looking at the flow of time.
A year in this space was only a second outside. It could only be described with one word—amazing.
But why are you saying so much? I know you are very powerful, but what about the legacy? It’s not just you bragging for tens of thousands of years, is it?!
Elder Raven did not have anyone to talk to for a long time, and his test was hard to pass. Once he opened his mouth, he talked non-stop, seemingly unable to stop.
Once he began, he went on for more than ten years.
Qin Chuan, on the other hand, listened attentively for over ten years. He was speechless, and calluses had grown in his ears.
He did not have a choice. After all, the other party was a big boss and had a legacy.
Hence, Qin Chuan listened seriously for another ten years. Elder Raven had endless topics. After finishing this, he went on to more.
Qin Chuan felt rather helpless, but he didn’t listen in vain.
For example, he drank tea that could improve one’s primordial spirit as a beverage. He never stopped.
Qin Chuan did some calculations himself. The power of his soul was equivalent to that of a cultivator undergoing tribulation.
That was insane.
Just by relying on his soul power, he was invincible against tribulation.
Apart from that, his comprehension of the Gravity Law had also improved.
Elder Raven was the true body of the [Stone of Nomological Law of Gravity]. His entire body spewed out the endless power of nomological law like he was the origin.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if it was a pig that stayed by Elder Raven’s side for about a decade, it would still be stronger than others who desperately cultivated for several hundred years.
Therefore, listening to him tell stories was not that boring.
However, Qin Chuan felt that something was strange—this was still Elder Raven’s realm.
Qin Chuan realized that although he was in this world, the flow of time in the system was still the same as outside.
As a result, his clone in the system had only cultivated for 20 seconds.
In this way, Qin Chuan’s cultivation didn’t improve at all.
Qin Chuan was rather depressed. If only the flow of time in the system was the same as here.
With tens of thousands of years away from his own world, even if he did not cultivate, his cultivation realm would continue to increase. That is, if time flowed differently for him.
It was a pity.
Right then, Elder Raven asked, “Young friend, do you want to hear my battle with the Emperor of Desolation?”
Qin Chuan nodded with tears in his eyes.
Boss, do you think I have a reason to refuse?
Looking at Elder Raven in front of him, Qin Chuan suddenly had a conjecture. Could the so-called legacy be from listening to Elder Raven tell stories? The kind that lasted tens of thousands of years?
At the thought of this possibility, Qin Chuan’s face turned dark.
After tens of thousands of years of listening to him, I’ll become strong, but my head would be bald, and I would have gone crazy.
No, I don’t want this.
Qin Chuan was scared, but Elder Raven was tireless. The stories he told were like a surging river, never-ending.
