Chapter 1642 Quote Cheating

Rui heaved a deep breath, staring at Master Gurren.

Frankly, three months were far longer than he had hoped, even if Master Gurren claimed otherwise. But it could not be helped. Even with his growth, it was extremely difficult to master it any sooner.

"Still, I suppose three months isn't too bad," Rui replied.

"Hmph, arrogant brat."

"How long does mastering the foundations of heaven and earth to this level normally take?" Rui asked.

"A year," Master Gurren replied.

"...Ordinary Martial Artists sure have it rough."

"You truly are arrogant through and through," Master Gurren snorted.

"I was jesting. Partially."

"Hmph. It is time to fulfill your end of the bargain," Master Gurren remarked with eager eyes. "Now then, create the technique that will allow me to peer into the depths of the cosmos!"

Rui smiled, activating his Martial Heart, before turning up to the night sky and breathing out in a specific manner. His hands stretched out in front of him, forming a symmetric hand sign that altered the shape and density of the wind currents his breath generated.

It created several hemispherical layers of high-pressure high-density air at specific distances from Rui that he constantly maintained with the force of his breathing and his hands redirecting the vectors of his breath.

The altered density of the air needed to be just perfect, altering the optical density of the air pockets in just the right manner so that they would refract light, in the same way, a convex lens made up of glass would.

It was his first time trying this, so it took quite some time, but eventually he succeeded.

What followed shook Master Gurren.

"This...!!" He gasped at the sky itself warped, zooming in straight up as he saw the ocean of tiny twinkling stars becoming more distinct. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"We can probably see even more if we take to the heavens," Rui informed him. "Less air scattering of light."

The two of them shot up into the sky, eventually enhancing the image further and providing greater details.

"Incredible!!" Master Gurren remarked.

Suddenly, Rui dispelled the domain, heaving a sigh.

"Hey!" The Master protested.

"I'll teach you the technique; you can do it yourself," Rui waved him off, placating him with the excitement of mastering such a wonderful technique.

"To think that we are so small," Master Gurren remarked, his eyes swimming around as he experienced a cosmic existential crisis at how utterly insignificant even his mighty power was before the grand magnificence of the heavens beyond earth.

Rui smiled knowingly, turning around as he gestured to the world below them.

His voice took on a sagely luster.

"if you look at it, it's no more than a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species there..."

Rui smirked softly.

"...on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam."

Master Gurren stared at him with amazement. "...I have never heard a more profound thing uttered by any other human being in my life."

He gained a deep amount of respect for Rui as his demeanor shifted.

Rui, on the other hand, was laughing inwardly. One of the benefits of reincarnating in a new world was that he got to plagiarize all the great quotes he had heard back on Earth!

This particular quote was one from the great astronomer Carl Sagan when he beheld the first distant image taken by Voyager II. Rui thanked the late astronomer for his wisdom as he partook in the profoundness of his words.
