Orion looked slightly bewildered hearing Continuum’s words, he couldn’t help but ask, "Why? I thought that’s what this place was for."
Continuum thought for a second while rubbing his chin and said, "Well, what you think is not wrong. And I’m not too sure about it either. I only know that we can’t breakthrough here for some reason. Others have speculated some reasons though."
"What reasons?" Orion asked with a slightly dejected tone.
Continuum’s expression turned serious and he said, "There are various theories, some speculate that Lord Wukong didn’t want the inheritors to become shrinking turtles who cultivate here all the time. After all, from the various records we have read, he was a valiant warrior."
"Another theory is that, due to the extreme passage of time, some Rules have become incomplete in the inheritance ground, making breakthrough here impossible. There are many more reasons but these are the most popular."
Hearing his words, Orion fell into deep thought, he also agreed with the first speculation, after all powerhouses can’t be created in greenhouses. If a person hasn’t weathered wind and rain, how can he withstand the storm?
And Wukong leaving behind such a grand inheritance ground, there must be a reason, otherwise he wouldn’t waste so much effort into it.
After thinking all these things through, Orion heaved a sigh and nodded, "What you say makes sense. Then I can only hone my techniques and spells here while learning new things."
Continuum nodded his head in agreement, "You should spend more time here. Since you are young, you have a lot of lifespan to waste. Since your lifespan will increase after reaching Exalted Grade. And if the second speculation is right, then the Rules might get affected more during this time."
Orion looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean by this? The Rules haven’t changed for so long, why would they change now?"
Continuum looked at Orion deeply and slowly said, "Some great powers in my world have said that the Chiliocosm has reached the extreme number of Epochs. It is now the Ninth Epoch, and they have speculated that it will also be the final Epoch. The most likely outcome will be the death of all living beings and cosmic structures."
Orion’s face changed greatly, he directly shouted, "Impossible. How can this happen just when I started cultivating??"
Continuum’s lips twitched, "You think you are the only one feeling this way? I’m young and vigorous like a bull, I don’t even have a wife yet. You think I want to die? But those great powers of my world have indeed felt the changes in the Rules of our Chiliocosm. Then I asked some other bastards from other Chiliocosms to confirm with their elders and they also gave similar answers."
Orion’s expression turned grave hearing his words, he felt like the world was playing a big joke on him. He had just arrived here and the destruction was imminent.
How was he supposed to play this game? The game master directly decided to delete the game.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything else I should know?"
Continuum stroked his chin again and looked at Orion with an interested gaze, "Well, have you thought about marrying and living a peaceful life?"
Orion: "..."
He really felt like slapping the bastard. He was serious here asking for other information and he was still joking.
Continuum, feeling Orion’s dark gaze, coughed slightly, "Cough, anyways, there is still time before it happens. But the great change already started. And it started roughly a year ago. If nothing else changes then you still have a long time. You might even die of old age before anything major happens. After all, an Epoch is an unimaginably long time, even millions of years is just a blink of an eye if we look at the entire timeline of an Epoch."
Even though Continuum’s words were comforting, Orion didn’t feel much better about it. He heard a key piece of information, the changes started roughly a year ago, just when he was born in this world.
And through the intense and vast amount of knowledge he had gained from reading hundreds of webnovels, he knew it wouldn’t end just at that. The time he would have wouldn’t be long.
He paused slightly, "What did you mean by I should spend more time here? I can’t breakthrough her— Wait do you think this place will also be affected by the changes?"
Continuum nodded his head, "Yeah, the time effects of this place might be gone soon. I can feel the changes of time in this place, it is subtly being affected. So you should make the best use of this place for as long as possible."
