Light Fortress Chapter 1922 - 12: Quest: Opening the Coffin_3
Previously on Light Fortress...
A priest disloyal to the Central Continent is not qualified to become a Divine Envoy.
Wang Chong suddenly reacted; Lie Renuo’s previous reply was: "They cannot escape."
"They" included Gu Xiaoman and his own disciple Chi Shou.
Wang Chong gritted his teeth and asked, "So, what do you mean?"
"You’ve worked hard to make this trip to Rhein."
Lie Renuo calmly said, "That traitor from the Ancient Literature Society, kill him directly. As for Chi Shou, he is your most beloved disciple... You should know what to do. Now, the Upper City urgently needs talent, and who sits as the White Tiger Divine Envoy is decided by that lord above with just a thought. If he can return from the wrong path and turn back in time, achieving the status of Divine Envoy won’t be much."
"I... understand."
Wang Chong’s heart trembled, and he hurriedly paid his respects.
"Wait!"
Lie Renuo suddenly spoke.
Wang Chong turned to leave, but a huge hand suddenly pressed upon his shoulder.
The hand seemed to be cast from gold and iron, five fingers like iron clamps, pinning Wang Chong in place...
But upon careful feeling.
The power coming from this hand was not actually great.
What truly fixed Wang Chong, a Titled, in place was the Extraordinary Aura emanating from the hand—that was "pressure," but not the "pressure" of a domain.
Rather it was...
Pressure of the origin.
Origin... Origin?!
Wang Chong widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the director, a puzzlement long existing in his heart was suddenly resolved at this moment... He had always been curious why the director could "reverse aging," and if such a thing truly existed in this world, it must surely be a Divine Miracle.
Now he knew the answer.
A Divine Miracle had indeed appeared on the director.
The ultimate power all Transcendents dream of, even a thread of it, is enough to achieve a "creation" of life level migration.
"I know what you’re curious about."
Lie Renuo spoke rarely with tenderness: "Indeed... the ’Divine Miracle’ that happened to me is just as you thought, I’ve become thirty years younger, this is an augmentation brought by the origin."
"Congratulations to the director..."
Wang Chong lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Congratulations on stepping into that level."
A level on par with the Northern Continent Three Generals.
"There’s nothing worth congratulating... I didn’t comprehend this by myself."
Lie Renuo laughed at himself, and said: "I can’t compare with those three from the North Continent, but nonetheless, the power I’ve mastered at this moment... is indeed the origin."
Wang Chong was stunned.
If not comprehended by oneself... then it is given?
"Due to the setbacks at the Ice Sea, the Upper City now urgently lacks high-end combat power, that great lord has been seeking suitable candidates."
Lie Renuo seriously said: "Little Chong, if I remember correctly, you have been stuck in the Titled Realm for over a decade."
"Yes, it’s been fourteen years..."
Wang Chong felt a bit melancholic.
Being Titled is revered above ten thousand people.
Once the domain is united, the path of Extraordinary Cultivation has in fact reached its end.
No matter how hard-working or diligent, it’s very difficult to achieve "qualitative change."
The strength and weakness after being Titled depend on whether the domain condensed is strong... at least in those fourteen years, this is what Wang Chong felt; in his Extraordinary Cultivation, he never slacked for a single day, yet his power showed no progress, he could only feel the "aging" brought to him by time.
Year by year, he started to decline from his peak.
A few more years, and he would become old.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable for the ordinary, even the Divine Throne cannot overcome these natural laws... How could a mere Titled be exempt.
But those who have cultivated to this point, naturally, do not wish to stop here.
They have seen the "origin," striving with all their might to touch a thread, and the final result is often a lifetime without affinity.
"Treat this trip to Rhein well."
Lie Renuo said meaningfully: "This is not just your disciple’s mission, it is also your mission. That great lord above has started to notice you."
