Chapter 1660: The Strongest Enemy, Time
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Chu Mu was confused. Why did the wheel’s strongest have to be decided by Heaven Palace?
Could the so-called invitation letter be used to invite all era’s strongest to Heaven Palace? Only Heaven Palace had the ability to gather the ten era’s strongest.
Elder Li stroked its beard and spoke, “On my way here, I noticed many creatures not belonging to this continent.”
“Are you talking about Heaven Demons?” asked Chu Mu.
Princess Jinrou had already told the rampages of Heaven Demon to Chu Mu, this also caused Chu Mu to feel confused.
Since Heaven Demon was a race that was strong enough to threaten Heaven Palace’s existence, if those things appeared in human territory and ate humans. They would definitely become the natural enemy of the human race.
He did not know how long this Solar Eclipse would last. If Heaven Demons could move anywhere within the dark night and Solar Eclipse, humans could not organize an effective prevention and counterattack to whatever they did.
“Oh? You have seen this kind of monster?” asked Elder Li.
“Yes, at Heaven Palace.”
“This is an unusual monster, they have fast reproduction cycle and do not follow the ten phase growth rule,” said Elder Li.
“Not following the ten phase growth rule??” Chu Mu was astonished.
Based on Chu Mu’s understanding of soul pets, other than those tiny life forms that could not even be considered soul pets, all creatures in this world followed the ten phase growth rule, including the humans.
The human’s ten phase growth rule could be represented by age. Thirty years old was a standard for complete maturity. If a human could not cultivate up to a certain rank by thirty years old, unless there were an enormous amount of resources and special encounters, it would be difficult to grow stronger.
Humans were also soul pets, Old Li had mentioned this point many times. However, humans possessed the ability to communicate and tame other soul pets.
Thinking carefully, other than the maternal family’s maternal body-derived creatures did not follow the ten phase growth rule, no other creatures in this world did not follow this growth rule.
Maternal family creatures meant soul pets born from the mother’s body without going through the reproduction cycle. Chu Mu remembered back in Li City, those Long Claw Demons controlled by Hundred Mother were such creatures.
Chu Mu was wondering whether these Heaven Demons flying through the human territory were derived creatures.
If they were derived creatures, they would definitely be hunting for their maternal body. Then just what was Heaven Demon’s maternal body??
“You will probably only obtain the answer after going to Heaven Palace,” said Elder Li while stroking its beard casually, “Speaking of which, the Ocean Species agent should be arriving soon.”
“Are you talking bout the mermaid race?” asked Chu Mu.
“Yes, usually, after Solar Eclipse, us agents would meet up. This time, we decided to fix the location at your place,” said Elder Li.
“At my place? I’m not human race’s agent,” Chu Mu found it strange.
“The human agent is the Royalty you mentioned, they work for Heaven Palace.”
......
Just as Elder Li mentioned, soon, Mermaid Princess Lan Qie showed up.
In the past, it would be those senior mermaids participating in this agent gathering. However, considering Mermaid Princess Lan Qie and Chu Mu were more familiar, East Ocean Siren King decided to let Lan Qie participate this time.
Of course, Chu Mu’s Little Yellow Spring also returned.
“Ni~!” Little Yellow Spring swam to Chu Mu’s side and intimately rubbed Chu Mu’s hand.
Chu Mu stroked this child-like Little Yellow Spring and looked at Lan Qie.
“Yellow Spring Emperor has been informed of your intention,” said Lan Qie.
“It never expressed its decision?”
“Emperor did not say anything, it only asked me to tell you that our Ocean Species will be your ally forever,” said Lan Qie.
Chu Mu scratched his head. Yellow Spring Emperor’s words were rather vague. Was it going to let Ancient Flood Dragon Person act freely in Eternal Ocean and human territory??
“Regardless of which, congratulations on becoming the new era’s strongest,” Lan Qie smiled gently and beautifully. Her gaze also showed a special admiration towards Chu Mu.
“Just a coincidence......” said Chu Mu.
This Undying, god-like title was given by others in the end.
“There certainly are many coincidences on the path of cultivation. However, reaching Undying rank is never a coincidence. It is either fated or you have jumped out of fate. You are probably the strongest existence in human territory before reaching Undying rank,” said Elder Li with a serious expression.
Chu Mu could not refute this point. All of his soul pets had fundamentally reached high class Immortal rank. His own devil transformation had reached peak Immortal rank. He could be considered the strongest in human territory. After all, the power of the soul pets possessed by those human leaders was just on par with one of his soul pets.
“In this era, there will definitely be an Undying rank energy flowing into a certain individual. Since you are already the strongest, sufficient preparation has been made to create this new Undying rank,” said Elder Li.
“Furthermore, not anyone can become Undying rank. Even if there is a vast amount of Undying rank energy put before him...... Ning Maner’s Messiah Tree nurture has slowly morphed your soul and body to be qualified to accept this godly power,” said Lan Qie.
Chu Mu never expected there to be so many processes behind it. At that moment, Old Li which was hiding in Chu Mu’s spatial ring uttered in realization, “Young master, could it be this reason that Yu Suo gave up on the energy and offered it to you?”
Chu Mu never realized that his Undying rank was actually related to Ning Maner.
However, since Ning Maner inherited the power of Messiah Tree, although her nurturing did not raise his strength directly, it had built a solid foundation to accept Undying rank power. After all, after Ning Maner’s power matured, she could also create an Undying rank......
Of course, it would probably be in the next era before her power truly reached Messiah Tree’s level.
“Then, what about the other agents? Flower race, Beast race, Ghost race......” asked Chu Mu.
“They...... They may not be friends with us,” said Elder Li.
It seemed that there were conflicts between various races.
“Our visit this time is to tell you matters about era and wheel, as well as to confirm your stance,” said Elder Li in a serious tone.
“Stance?” Chu Mu did not quite understand Elder Li’s meaning.
Lan Qie gently explained, “You should know about Heaven Palace’s existence. They are the true ruler of this world. However, we only think that they ruled over order and time, they are not the gods a realm above us.”
“They possess great power and many Undying rank experts. However, those Undying rank experts have their own duties, they hardly participate in the competition of the era or wheel.”
“Hence, looking purely from Undying rank’s perspective, in regards to factions, Demon Ancestor stands with Yellow Spring Emperor. Our Ocean Species shared a good relationship with Demon race. Fourth era’s Ancient Beast God was also in our faction.”
“Then, Nightmare race’s Black Nightmare and Ghost race’s Inferno Ghost Lord are in the same faction. This also included eighth era’s strongest Six Plain Lord.”
“Next, Flower race’s Limbo Flower Queen and Beast race’s Underworld Demon Lord belong to a faction.”
“Lastly, Heaven Palace is a faction. This faction is undoubtedly the strongest.”
Chu Mu was confused. Why would there be factions amongst Undying rank. To Chu Mu, there should hardly be any conflict between Undying rank.
As for the conflict between races, the Undying rank which had transcended should not handle them personally.
As such, Chu Mu also voiced his doubt.
“This is because of the ten thousand year wheel. Amongst the ten era’s strongest, there must be one wheel’s strongest. The new wheel’s strongest will possess the authority to rule over life.
“This life not only allowed him to gain a near eternal life, he can also grant others life force and even resurrect the dead whose souls are still preserved.”
Resurrection......
This was the power Chu Mu and Bai Yu had always been looking for.
There were also countless powerful creatures looking for this resurrection method, as well as the ability to extend lifespan.
However, Chu Mu never expected that this ability was controlled by the wheel’s strongest.
Undying rank did not have eternal lifespan. In other words, whoever became the wheel’s strongest would also control the lives of other Undying rank experts. That was because when the Undying rank lifespan was reaching the end, they could only submit to the one who controlled their lives.
“All living beings are cultivating to obtain that ultimate power. Only when one reached the peak of strength would one realize that the strongest power in this world is time......” Chu Mu expressed his thoughts.
Certainly, age was the greatest enemy of living beings.
No matter how strong the power one possessed, it was powerless before time.
Chu Mu had already felt this phenomenon. When he saw those at his side starting to show traces of aging, he really felt panicked.
“Totem Divine Maiden only controlled one thing......”
“That is time.”
Suddenly, Chu Mu recalled a sentence Yu Suo said in Heaven Palace.
He remembered that when she was making conditions, she said that she could extend the lifespan of those around him......
That meant Yu Suo actually also controlled the ‘time’ which should be controlled by the wheel’s strongest!
Perhaps, that was why so many people would follow after her and become her subordinates or servants. Even if she only controlled a tiny tip of ‘time’, it was the precious lifespan to those experts!
