Chapter 490: Chapter 273 “Reincarnation Crystal” and “1,000,000 Years” (Please Subscribe)_2
It seems that none of these were secrets to him.
In fact, they truly weren’t secrets at all.
To him, a Level Seven Demon, there were no more secrets in this world.
After he nodded, the demon forms of all the high-ranking demons in the Seventeenth Palace gradually vanished from this place.
Only the true master of Order Seventeen remained unmoved in his place.
His expression showed not the slightest change.
“Thinking of living another life in other World Seas before transcending? It’s not so easy.”
“Well, let you scout the way first. If you really can become a Transcendent and return to the Abyss, then it wouldn’t hurt for me to try.”
Two thoughts flickered faintly in the mind of the master of Order Seventeen.
The Reincarnation Crystal had been in his hands for over a hundred million years, yet all this time, he had never used it on a whim.
Of course, in reality, he had never intended to use the Reincarnation Crystal.
After all, once he used the Reincarnation Crystal, it would mean giving up all the cultivation of his current life in exchange for that minuscule hope of transcendence.
He asked himself if he had the courage yet.
The master of Order Nineteen was a madman; he was not.
He would not abandon everything in this world for the slight possibility of transcendence.
Rather than that, he preferred not to transcend.
Within the entire Abyss, Transcendents were extremely rare.
In the Crimson World, there was even only one Transcendent.
The Abyss is not the World Sea; transcending is not so simple here.
In the three Realms of the Ninth Heavens of the Universe, the World Sea was the place where Transcendents were most likely to be born.
However, precisely because of this, the Transcendents of the World Sea were also the weakest among the three realms.
Moreover, even if one became a Transcendent, what then?
To pass beyond the nine barriers set by the Universe remained a faint hope.
Of course, if the master of Order Nineteen truly managed to transcend and return, then perhaps he would give it a try.
After all, in his hands was not just one Reincarnation Crystal.
“Transcendence, transcendence, trapped in the Abyss, how easy can transcendence be?”
The master of Order Seventeen sighed inwardly.
He had lived too long; naturally, he yearned to witness what lay beyond the Abyssal Domain.
But if the prerequisite was to give up everything he had accumulated over these billions of years, again, he was unwilling.
Yet, if it meant witnessing the scenes beyond the Ninth Heavens of the Universe, he might be willing to give up everything in the Abyss.
But the hope was too faint, and so at this moment, he had no plans for such a risk.
Sometimes he thought, if only he had been born in the World Sea.
After all, in the World Sea, transcendence was not so difficult.
Certainly, such thoughts were merely wishful thinking.
After all, having had the Reincarnation Crystal for so many years, he had still not taken any action, had he?
The Reincarnation Crystal could allow him to carry the memories of this life and reincarnate into another Realm to live another life.
But the prerequisite was that once the Reincarnation Crystal was used, there was no turning back.
If he died after reincarnation, then everything would end.
The loss in this Order War was actually by his own design.
He was willing to lose half of the demons within the Order to see if the master of Order Nineteen could succeed.
The passage of time in the World Sea was utterly different from that in the Abyss.
If within ten million years, the master of Order Nineteen did not become a Transcendent and return,
then the Reincarnation Crystal would forever rot in his hands.
But if the master of Order Nineteen truly returned within ten million years, then perhaps he really would give it a try, though he might still choose not to.
If Milton Cheney knew of this at this time, he would be greatly shocked.
Because this so-called Reincarnation Crystal and the Reincarnation Simulation function of his Simulator were very much alike.
However, unfortunately, none of these things were within Milton Cheney’s grasp at this moment.
Thinking thus, the demon form of the master of Order Seventeen also gradually disappeared on the main seat of the Seventeenth Palace.
Inside the Demonic Flame Pool within Milton Cheney’s territory.
Milton Cheney’s consciousness gradually regained clarity, and his perception of his surroundings, as well as his demon body, also slowly returned.
But at this moment, rather than feeling any joy, Milton Cheney was somewhat puzzled.
Because within his clear perception, the enhancement of his demon body was indeed noticeable.
It could even be said to be a significant improvement.
However, these enhancements were still far from reaching the threshold required for the Fourth Transformation.
It should be noted that Milton Cheney had not actively recovered from the state of complete emptiness.
In other words, he had been passively pulled out of this state.
Although it was passive, he had not reached the threshold necessary for another transformation.
This was somewhat strange because at this moment, Milton Cheney was not under any external influence, and there were no new messages in his mind.
That is to say, he had no apparent reason for exiting the state of emptied consciousness.
Before this, whether it was within the Demon Mother River or after he became an Advanced Demon, such a situation had never occurred.
Which means that this was the first time such an event had happened to Milton Cheney.
This was also the reason for the slight doubt in Milton Cheney’s heart at the moment.
“To passively exit the state of emptied consciousness without any influence, could it be that a time limit has been reached?”
Within the Demonic Flame Pool, Milton Cheney muttered to himself.
Previously, he had passively exited the state of complete emptiness, but those instances were when his demon body had reached the evolutionary limit.
But this time was clearly different.
This time he could clearly perceive that his demon body could continue to evolve, and was far from reaching the state necessary for transformation.
Yet, he had still exited the state of emptiness.
Since it wasn’t about reaching the evolutionary limit, then it seemed the only explanation was that he stayed in the state of complete emptiness for too long, reaching the time limit.
Beyond that, there seemed to be no other explanation.
Even if there were other possibilities, they were beyond Milton Cheney’s current reach.
However, though this unexpected situation occurred, Milton Cheney didn’t feel panicked.
At the moment, he had only exited the state of complete emptiness; it wasn’t as if the Reincarnation Simulation had come to an unexpected end.
As long as the simulation wasn’t over, Milton Cheney still had the possibility to continue evolving in this world.
This is why he wasn’t particularly worried at the moment.
Because he was still very much alive, and as long as he was alive, everything could continue.
With this thought, Milton Cheney stopped perceiving his surroundings and his demon body.
Instead, he gathered his thoughts trying to re-enter the state of complete emptiness.
However, moments later, a touch of surprise emerged at the bottom of his heart.
Because at this time, he found himself unable to re-enter the state of complete emptiness.
This was a very strange sensation. When Milton Cheney tried, he suddenly discovered that even if he emptied his consciousness, he could still sense the environment around him and the passage of time.
This was a completely different experience from before.
It was precisely because of this that Milton Cheney thought that perhaps what he had just considered was indeed the case.
After all, this situation indeed resembled the feeling of maintaining a one-time state too long, reaching its limit.
If a person keeps staring at the same thing, they will eventually blink after a while.
So it seemed that the state of complete emptiness could not be maintained indefinitely either.
Realizing this, Milton Cheney stopped trying.
His demon body moved and disappeared from within the Demonic Flame Pool.
When Milton Cheney’s demon body reappeared in his territory, the doubts in his heart had vanished.
This time when he went out, he mainly asked other demons some questions.
“A hundred Abyssal Cycles, which is a million years.”
“Is the time for a complete state of emptied consciousness a million years?”
Milton Cheney quietly mused to himself.
Indeed, a million years had passed since the last Order War ended.
