“Brother Sea Dragon King, is what you said true?”
“The sea dragons have the bloodline of the dragon race?”
“That’s right!” The Sea Dragon King nodded.
“However, the records left behind by our ancestors were not perfect, and some are missing. The inheritance they left behind is also incomplete.”
“Moreover…”
At this point, the Sea Dragon King paused for some time before continuing, “Moreover, my father has always felt that the timeline of Earth is very chaotic. No one knows the origin of Earth, and no one knows how long Earth has existed for.”
“My father even told me that he had always guessed that there was an immeasurably strong expert who altered Earth’s timeline and direction of development.”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang was completely dumbfounded.
F*ck!
Such a thing was possible?
They were talking about time travel here!
Sure, he had some mythical powers and all, but going back in time and changing history?
That did not even exist in the legends of the immortals and G.o.ds on Earth!
What level did such an expert have to reach in order to do that?
Just thinking about it made w.a.n.g Mang feel incredulous, as this was too heaven-defying!
w.a.n.g Mang hurriedly asked the system, “System, was there really such an expert who could travel through time and s.p.a.ce?”
At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.
[Yes! A warm reminder to the host. When one reaches a certain level of power, one can be considered omnipotent!]
Hearing the system’s confirmation, he was well and truly shocked.
At the same time, w.a.n.g Mang also knew that such an expert was definitely not confined to Earth or its ranking list of experts.
Still, this was not the question that was bugging him at the moment. He wanted to know what these tiers were!
A few minutes later, w.a.n.g Mang finally got the answer he wanted.
It turned out that there were too many cultivation systems in the world, and they differed between species and even inheritances.
Thus, the tiers were general terms that encompa.s.sed these different cultivation systems.
Tier 1 referred to ordinary living beings.
Tier 2 referred to living beings that had transcended their natural limits and walked the path of extraordinary beings. w.a.n.g Mang was considered to be within this realm.
Tier 3 was the benchmark of a land immortal.
Tier 4 was when a living being exceeded the level of a land immortal.
Tier 5 was the benchmark when a living being could create a world.
As for Tier 6 through 9, or even beyond, no one really knew at this point.
According to the explanation given by the system, it was divided into nine tiers.
As for how terrifying a ninth-tier expert was, w.a.n.g Mang could not even begin to imagine or fathom it. In any case, his next step was to reach Tier 3.
At this moment, the Sea Dragon King saw that w.a.n.g Mang was deep in thought and smiled.
“Brother Python, don’t worry.”
“We don’t have to be so anxious. The ones who should be anxious are those experts who are infinitely close to the land immortal-level.”
“Once something happens to Earth, they will have to leave their homes and wander the vast universe. Out there, they will definitely die sooner or later!” “Moreover, the spiritual energy on Earth is showing signs of recovery. They are all waiting for the world to change in order to seize the opportunity to break through and become land immortals.”
“As for us, we’re too weak to do anything, so just leave it to the experts.”
Hearing the Sea Dragon King’s words, w.a.n.g Mang finally understood why this brother of his was so nonchalant about the whole thing. It was truly a different perspective.
At the same time, he learned a secret.
It turned out that these experts were all waiting for the apocalypse in order to break through. However, they were not hoping for the world to be destroyed, as the impact of such an outcome on them would be even greater!
Thinking this, w.a.n.g Mang secretly let out a sigh of relief.
w.a.n.g Mang had found a solution that was not a solution, which was to think of ways to spread the news to these experts.
Then, he would let these experts think of a way to deal with this meteorite. That should be their role as the true experts of Earth.
w.a.n.g Mang exchanged pleasantries with the Sea Dragon King, then left the sea.
Two hours later, w.a.n.g Mang reached his territory, and was surprised to see his father waiting for him.
“Son, what is going on?”
Father w.a.n.g looked at w.a.n.g Mang, who had entered the cave, with a puzzled expression.
He quickly told his father what had happened.
After listening to him, his father was dumbfounded.
“F*ck! What the h.e.l.l is going on?”
“I’ve already prepared ample food storage, organized an armed unit and various experts from different fields.”
“I have money, people, and food.”
“I’ve already made sufficient preparations for the arrival of the apocalypse, yet you’re telling me that a super meteorite is about to hit Earth and turn everything into dust?”
When he heard his father’s despair-filled words, w.a.n.g Mang could only helplessly console him.
“Dad, you don’t have to worry about this.”
“Don’t forget, this isn’t just our problem, but something everyone on Earth is facing.”
Father w.a.n.g seemed to come to a realization after hearing this and nodded repeatedly, saying, “Yes, yes. There should be people out there who can deal with this. We definitely can’t. Son, don’t meddle in this affair and leave it to the experts!”
w.a.n.g Mang naturally knew that his father was worried about his safety. However, he really did have to deal with this matter, even if it was in a roundabout manner!
Therefore, after chatting with his father for a while and comforting him, he left the cave to continue his quest to resolve the meteorite incident!
Two hours later, he arrived near the mountain range where the Netherworld Gate was located, and stared at the cave he had sealed.
He sighed. He had not expected to return here so quickly.
Shrugging, w.a.n.g Mang unsealed the cave entrance and walked inside..
Ten minutes later, w.a.n.g Mang arrived at the depths of the cave.
He looked at the familiar stone door in front of him, and immediately shouted enthusiastically, “Friends from beyond, are you still there?”
“It’s me! I’m back!”
“Give me ten half-step land immortal-level treasures and I swear I’ll let you out immediately!”
