Chapter 2051 Coward
It didn't need to be explained why the first possibility was so fear inducing. Even the oldest clans on the mortal plane currently were only the Nephilim. Though their bloodlines were incredibly ancient, they themselves had only begun to appear during the transition between the Golden Era and the Modern Era. Of course, their territory itself was even more ancient than this, but they had only existed for a few million years at best. However, the last descent was easily trillions of years ago. The descent before that was even more exaggerated. To survive that kind of time, just what level of planning was involved? Just what kind of power backed this endeavor? Just who were the Mist clan originated from? If this wasn't already shocking enough, the next possibility was only worse. Dyon had only experienced a single clan exiting the ancient battlefield, and that was the celestial beasts!
"Relaaaax. At worst, they'll be four facet Overlords, right?"
Madeleine's expression flickered. She knew her husband well. If these were really his thoughts, he would never take them. No matter how battle crazed he was, he would never toy with their lives like this. He valued them far above his own personal pleasure. The fact he was still taking them to such a dangerous place instead of going alone... just why was that? **
"Coward." Valen muttered for what must have been the millionth time in the last year. It seemed he was very much still enraged by Aki's dismissal of him. Even after travelling through a void tunnel for months on end, he was still speaking about it. Currently, a trio of Valen, Anak, and Chrysanthemum had entered the ancient battlefield. During the first phase, gates were perpetually opened on every inhabited planet. So, all they had to do was leave Mortal Empire territory and another where the restrictions on their actions were must less stringent. Now, the three of them ran through a thick forest, not a rare occurrence for the ancient battlefield. However, their destination was much different than a normal citizen of this prison. While those of the ancient battlefield would be consciously and unconsciously do everything they could do avoid the waters, Valen did the exact opposite. Every so often, he would stop at a body of dark, raging waters. Sometimes he would continue along his same path, and at other times, he would change direction completely, seemingly at random. "Aren't you curious?" Chrysanthemum teasingly asked her husband. "About what?" "You're no fun." She replied with a pout. "Obviously by what Valen is doing. It's already been a week of nothing but this yet you haven't said a single word. Knowing my cousin, he's probably inwardly shaking in anger that you haven't asked." Anak shrugged. "Isn't it obvious? These waters aren't ordinary. Each droplet is rushing with energy, and even the weakest creatures that can only occupy their surface are as strong as Fallen. If you look at it macroscopically, the waters are very much like qi and their bodies of land they're entrenched within are the meridians. "Isn't this exactly how arrays work? He's probably trying to decipher it all to find a path of least resistance to enter. The only thing surprising is that the origin of your Mist Clan is actually so mysterious and powerful." Chrysanthemum's brows raised in surprise. She had known her husband for a long time, but he had never been so astute as he appeared to be now. In fact, Anak could be described as being a bit dull minded and a bit too linear in thinking.
