Chapter 648 — The Realm King's Mission
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 3 of 7
"A task?" Shi Jin did not understand. The Realm King had so many powerful figures under his command—surely there were those stronger than him. Why seek him out in particular...
"What kind of task?" Shi Jin asked.
"It has to do with 'archaeology,' I suppose." The Realm King said.
Shi Jin's eyes lit up. "So that is it—Lord Realm King, you have found the right person."
"I cannot vouch for other tasks, but this matter..."
"I believe in your ability."
"Moreover, you are the only one who meets the conditions for carrying out this task." The Realm King said.
"Only you possess both conditions at once: being a 'transmigrator' from the previous epoch, and having contracted the 'Spirit of Time.'"
When the Realm King finished speaking, Shi Jin was rather calm. So that was it—as expected, everything about him had been seen through by the Realm King.
Perhaps the Cosmic Overlord had seen through him as well; it simply had no interest in bothering with such things.
Shi Jin guessed that the task the Realm King wanted him to complete, though archaeological in name, must have something to do with the Sixth Cosmic Level.
But toward the Sixth Cosmic Tier, the Realm King and the Cosmic Overlord likely held different attitudes...
The Cosmic Overlord was waiting for the Sixth Cosmic Tier to come looking for trouble, while the Realm King wanted to achieve certain goals through "archaeology."
"Speak, Lord Realm King," Shi Li said.
"I need you to use the Time Spirit to travel into the past and stop the sixth Cosmic Tier."
Shi Jin: ???
"What." Shi Jin was stunned once more.
"Lord Realm King, could you explain in detail."
The Realm King said, "Your Time Spirit is not of a high grade, and at present it would be very difficult to travel to such a distant past, but with the aid of my power, it can be attempted."
"But 'memory' has weight as well. The more you know about her, the harder it will be for you to cross over. When that time comes, I too will be powerless."
"You can only rely on yourself once you arrive there, exploring on your own, finding the answers."
"Besides, what I know is not all that important. The truly hidden key information still requires your own exploration."
"Of course, next I will explain some trivial information."
"One piece of information I can tell you is this: your Time Spirit is already the last Time Spirit in this universe. As for the power of the other Time Spirits, it has all been stripped away by the sixth Cosmic Tier."
"If she is not dealt with, sooner or later you too will enter her sight."
Shi Zhaozhong's heart tightened.
In Shi Jin's beast-taming space, Qi also gave a start.
"She—why would she do such a thing," Shi Tang said.
She is already a Cosmic Tier, and she is still interested in the Time Spirits??
There is no need for that, surely.
"That, you will need to explore for yourselves," the Realm King said.
Originally, Shi Jin had merely been interested in the "archaeological mission," but now he felt he had no choice but to listen carefully to the Realm King.
After all, it concerned Qi, and he absolutely had to ensure Qi's safety.
Apart from that piece of information, the Realm King's words that "memory" has weight also threw Shi Zhaozhong into a daze—so this was the reason that, upon crossing into this era, he possessed only the memories of his mortal stage.
Had he voluntarily "discarded" his other memories?
Shi Qi looked at the Realm King's expression—she seemed unsurprised that he was a transmigrator. Only, why was this condition an important one for completing the mission... Shi Jue could not understand.
"Lord Realm King, are you not surprised by my identity?"
Shi Tang asked.
He was a transmigrator from the previous era.
By all reason, should not everything from the previous era be unable to survive until now?
