Chapter 901: Vestige of Prime
Chapter 901: Vestige of Prime
Valefor thought it was pretty funny that he could tell the cultivation chamber was as ancient as the primordial era or the beginning of time when he knew nothing about it.
It was just based on his feeling.
However, the feeling was so strong that he didn't think he could be wrong. The cultivation chamber just felt so unfathomable and ancient.
Undoubtedly, it had an extraordinary creator and history.
After using the Fourth-Dimensional Sense, Valefor immediately extracted information from the cultivation chamber.
Without the system's organization, the information was imprinted into his memory directly.
The moment Valefor received the cultivation chamber's information, he was greatly shaken by what he had learned.
"A vestige of Prime..." Valefor softly muttered.
True to his gut feeling, the cultivation chamber indeed came from the primordial era or the beginning of time.
More precisely, it came from the primal era before the creation of Chaos and the first chaos cycle. Even more precisely, the cultivation chamber was created near the end of that primal
era.
However, the most important discovery wasn't the cultivation chamber's age but its creator - Primal Chaos Master Leon Crawford.
Who was Primal Chaos Master Leon Crawford?
Why was the cultivation chamber called a Vestige of Prime?
An inexplicable feeling welled up in Valefor's heart.
Considering that the person held the Primal Chaos Master title, it implied that the person was already the ruler of Primal Chaos at the time the cultivation chamber was built.
More importantly, Primal Chaos was the name of the very first chaosverse in Chaos.
The earliest traces of the Lord of the Boundless Seas and Skies Varuna and the Lord of Chaos Albion both came from the Primal Chaos.
It could be said that the Primal Chaos Era was the most legendary era and an important point in Chaos's history.
As such, the Primal Chaos Master had to be the most extraordinary person during the Primal Chaos Era.
He might even be the one who created Chaos and established the everlasting.
However, Valefor found it puzzling that such a powerful and legendary figure was virtually non-existent in the current era.
How could such a person simply disappear from history?
Although Valefor wasn't too interested in digging up history, he knew Vaan was. Moreover, Leon Crawford seemed to be related to them.
Even if Valefor was ignorant in all matters, he couldn't ignore this instinctual feeling that stemmed from the soul.
"How much do you know about this place? Tell me everything!" Valefor demanded.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Balmodan didn't dare to refuse. As such, he quickly explained, "In truth, I don't know much about this place."
"However, based on my experience, this place appears to be an independent space with extremely powerful time-dilation power. One day outside is equivalent to a hundred days in here. It was thanks to this temporal space relic that I was able to catch up to the other Great Devils."
"That said, this time-dilation ratio isn't constant, Your Excellency. There are times when the time-dilation power fluctuates greatly for no apparent reason. I have spent a total of 600,000 years inside this place."
"However, what should have been 6,000 years outside suddenly became decades into the past," Balmodan revealed his greatest secret and doubt.
Valefor stared at Balmodan's honest expression and failed to determine any signs of falsehood in his words.
"Are you saying you didn't just experience temporal dilation but temporal reversal? You don't even know the cause?" Valefor interrogated.
"Yes!"
After receiving Balmodan's confirmation, Valefor shortly ruled out the possibility of him being a pawn of the Outer Beings. He was just one lucky bastard to have stumbled on one of the Primal Chaos Master's relics.
More importantly, considering the temporal laws of the cultivation chamber could resist the Lord of Chaos's temporal reversal, it was clearly special.
Either it possessed some other unique power capable of resisting the temporal reversal, such as the Nihility Law, or it was on the same level as the temporal reversal power acted upon it. Regardless of the possibilities, it only made Valefor more suspicious.
How did such an incredible creator fade away from history? Did he just retire after creating Chaos?
Or was there some other reason?
Furthermore, how did his cultivation chamber end up in the Wolf God Domain of Gehenna? Shouldn't it be in Primal Chaos, the first chaosverse?
A few moments later, Valefor shook his head and gave up thinking. His intelligence may have greatly increased, but he wasn't a thinker; he was a fighter.
All the thinking should be left to Vaan.
Nevertheless, Valefor had zero intention of alerting Vaan, who was still training inside the Profound Pearl of Life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, it was hard to say whether his freedom could be maintained once Vaan was out.
He didn't want his plans to attack the Nightmare Realm to be delayed.
"Hm?"
Valefor soon noticed the stone stele near the meditation platform in the center of the cultivation chamber.
Despite being carved from an ordinary stone, the stone stele didn't crumble to dust over such a long passage of time. It was indeed made of ordinary material, but it also seemed to be protected by the breath of eternity.
More importantly, there was a wall of ancient texts on it, which seemed to be messages or insights left behind by the creator.
"Why did you mention about this stone stele?" Valefor eyed Balmodan, demanding an
answer.
Balmodan suddenly felt immense pressure and started sweating.
"I didn't think it was important, Your Excellency," Balmodan answered before pleading for mercy, "Please forgive my negligence if it has offended you."
Balmodan thought Valefor was only interested in the time-dilation power of the temporal
space relic.
Who knew he was more interested in the history and origin instead?
Valefor ignored Balmodan and focused on the stone stele's ancient texts, which were also infused with the breath of eternity to withstand the erosion of time.
'The corrosion of nothingness is merciless, and true everlasting is still a distant dream. My world is running out of time, and I deeply regret not having more time to overcome the final step.' "Though incomplete, I have created this temporal chamber to fulfill my regret. Should it find its way into the future, I pray it will help the Fated One avoid the despair of time.'
'Signed, a nameless cultivator.'
