Chapter 706 - Confusion
“Young man, taking on the role of a guardian doesn’t prevent you from rescuing your wife.”
Elder Long smiled and said, “On the contrary, if you promise to take over my position, I will help you improve your powers. Only with the powerful strength can you go to the Arcana Land and have the ability to rescue your woman.”
Xiao Luo’s eyes lit up slightly. Increasing his strength was enough to arouse his interest. What he presently possessed was the strongest technique that he could redeem from the genius system, and he could not defeat the King of Swords from Light Clan. Therefore, he had to think of other ways to improve his strength, and he was being given this opportunity by the old man in front of him. He was the guardian of this world, and if he could help, Xiao Luo could naturally become strong enough to compete with the Light Clan more quickly.
“Say yes to him now, Xiao Luo!”
Xiao Quanren’s eyes burned with delight. He wished he could agree on Xiao Luo’s behalf.
Xiao Luo gave a nod and bow slightly to Elder Long. “Senior, please help me increase my strength.”
“Haha, haha...”
Elder Long smiled shrewdly and said, “Good, good, good. I have finally found a qualified successor. Even if I die soon, I will not renege on my master’s dying wish.”
Xiao Luo and Xiao Quanren had never seen or heard of his master, but they could guess what his master wanted him to do—to guard this world.
“Senior, what kind of place is the Arcana Land like?” Xiao Luo asked anxiously.
“Let me explain it to you this way.”
Elder Long casually grabbed a piece of tissue paper from the table. “The original appearance of this world is just like this piece of white paper.”
As he spoke, he used his withered hand to knead the white paper into the shape of a ball. “This ball is now like the world that we are familiar with and which is visible to our eyes. But actually, it was not like this in its original form. The space inside is still vast. We can divide this piece of white paper into two sides, and we can understand space in this way. The Arcana Land is on one side, while we are on the other side. These two parts of space complement each other, and neither can exist alone. Only when the two parts combine, can it be a true and complete world.”
Xiao Luo found the explanation confounding. He had never thought that the world would be like this.
“Then what kind of race is the Light Clan?”
“They are the rulers of the Arcana Land, similar to our country’s government, and the only difference is that the entire Arcana Land is under the rule of the Light Clan. Xiao Clan is a race born to fight, while the Light Clan is born with an extremely strong inclination toward cultivation.”
“What is True Inner Force?”
“To be honest, the so-called True Inner Force is just the same as the inner power, but the members of the Light Clan call it the True Inner Force. The two are the same thing.” Elder Long patiently explained to Xiao Luo one point at a time.
Xiao Luo asked again, “Then how should I go to the Arcana Land?”
“It’s very simple. When you are powerful enough, you will be able to tear and open the void. As long as you pass through the chaotic void, which is what scientists call the fourth dimension, you will reach the Arcana Land,” said Elder Long.
“The Master God of Chaos lives in the fourth dimension. It’s best not to alarm him.” Xiao Quanren said solemnly. He was very fearful of the Master God of Chaos.
Elder Long nodded. “Yes, the Master God of Chaos is the ruler of the fourth dimension. I’ve never met him before, but I’ve heard his majestic voice. I can assume that he’s not weaker than me.”
The Master God of Chaos?
Xiao Luo felt that there were too many unknowns in this world. If he had not reached this level of strength, he probably would not have known the true origins of this world in his lifetime. As the great French philosopher, Descartes once said—the more he learned, the more he realized he was ignorant.
The higher one’s vision was, the more one would realize that there were things in this world not understood through common sense!
“I want to increase my strength immediately.” Xiao Luo now had a great desire for strength.
“Sure. I admire young people like you the most.”
Elder Long stroked his nonexistent beard and said with a smile, “However, I have not the ability to raise your strength in a short period, so the only choice for you is to go to Mount Tianshan.”
historical
Mount Tianshan?
To find Gu Qianxue’s master?
Xiao Luo frowned unconsciously and asked, “Do you mean Tianshan Elder?”
“Yes, she is my junior sister and is good at cultivating potential greatness in a person’s body. Since you have awakened the Xiao Clan bloodline’s power, as long as you cultivate and improve the bloodline power of yours, your strength will be comparable to the four major kings of the Light Clan,” Elder Long said and nodded stiffly.
Gu Qianxue’s master was the Guardian’s junior sister?
The revelation stunned Xiao Luo for quite a while before he came back to his senses. He had already expected the Tianshan Elder was someone who had a powerful background, but he never expected her to be the junior sister of the guardian. Just like the guardian, she was an old monster that had lived for thousands of years.
...
...
Before going to Tianshan, Xiao Luo called Zhang Dashan and his younger sister, Xiao Ruyi, and instructed them to manage Luo’s Workshop and Jin Yitang well. As for Su Xiaobei, she had Su Canye and Mother Su, who had already changed drastically, so there was no need to worry about her.
And Lady Poison, Fu Yiren, was lying in a crystal coffin in NSA’s technology building, soaked in a fragrant poison. Her eyes were closed, just like sleeping beauty, and her breathing was shallow.
Elder Long told him that Fu Yiren had a unique physical constitution due to the toxins in her body. She did not die after receiving that palm strike. Instead, she fell into a kind of unconscious state, which was a self-preservation mechanism of her physical constitution and needed to be nourished with poison. It was only a matter of time before she awoke.
This made Xiao Luo feel more assured and less guilty.
Walking with Ji Siying down the main road of the NSA headquarters, Xiao Luo kept his head down, frowning as he thought about something.
He had his reservations about the system that had fused within him. The so-called berserk state of the system was the awakening state of his bloodline power. And if the system kept repeating that this was a gift, but not the power of the Xiao clan bloodline, then who was the liar? Was it Xiao Quanren from Luo Village, or was it the system?
The answer was obvious—the system was lying!
In the beginning, the system claimed that it came from a parallel universe where the technology there was 100,000 years ahead of his time. However, if it was 100,000 years ahead, why couldn’t it give him the ability to defeat the King of Swords from Light Clan? After all, it was enough to destroy this world easily.
Could there be a mastermind behind all of this?
What was the truth?
Xiao Luo frowned. When he recounted the abilities exchanged in the system, he realized that most of them were directly or indirectly related to strength. Although there were thousands of abilities in the system, the abilities he redeemed seemed to have a specific trend of evolution, and it was to increase his strength. In the end, he even got the strongest power the system could give him.
Suppose there was a mastermind behind this who constantly pushed him to become stronger. Then, what was the goal of this mastermind?
