Chapter 280: Elder Raven
Qin Chuan opened his eyes.
"What is this place?"
Qin Chuan patted his head and looked around with a blank expression.
He remembered that after he had figured out how to grasp the [Law of Gravity], then he had felt a huge suction force pulling at him. Next, he had fallen unconscious and finally appeared here.
Looking at the dark surroundings, Qin Chuan was filled with doubt.
He suddenly recalled that the Beast Taming Corps was about to arrive.
If I"m here, what… what would happen to everyone?
For a moment, he became especially anxious and panicked.
"System, system, where am I?" Qin Chuan immediately called out to the system.
The system"s robotic voice sounded in his mind.
"Host, you are in someone else"s world."
Someone else"s world?
Qin Chuan was very puzzled.
"System, make yourself clear."
"Host, this is a world someone else has created by themselves."
Created by themselves?
Qin Chuan was shocked.
Isn"t that the Creator?
"Then how did I end up in someone else"s world?"
Qin Chuan couldn"t understand.
He had no time to think about it now.
"System, can I return to my original world? How many points do I need?" Qin Chuan hurriedly asked.
"Host, there is no such function in the system program."
"I"m doomed then!" Qin Chuan was disappointed.
"Then… is there a way out?" Qin Chuan asked again.
"Whoever started it can end it."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan instantly understood.
Who brought him in?
It had to be the Lome race"s [Ancestral Stone], which was also the [Stone of Nomological Law of Gravity].
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan calmed down.
He noticed the light that hit him.
Qin Chuan thought of his surroundings, which were pitch black.
If there is light, it might be an exit.
Hence, Qin Chuan followed the direction of the beam of light.
This s.p.a.ce was extremely vast, and Qin Chuan didn"t even bother to calculate how long he had flown for. In any case, he was sure that it had been at least four hours.
Qin Chuan was currently in the Soul Splitting stage. If he flew at full speed, his speed would be equivalent to half the speed of light.
From this, one could tell how large this s.p.a.ce was.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
Finally, the source of this beam of light appeared in his divine consciousness.
However, upon seeing the light source, Qin Chuan was exceptionally astonished.
This was because the source of this light beam was an oil lamp, the kind from ancient times.
The oil lamp was placed on a simple stone table. An old man sat beside the table.
The old man held a jade scroll in his hand and sipped tea as he read.
Just then, the old man seemed to have discovered Qin Chuan. He nodded and smiled towards the direction where Qin Chuan was flying from.
Qin Chuan frowned.
He couldn"t see the old man"s cultivation level, but Qin Chuan was certain he was a powerhouse. He might have been the person behind his current predicament.
Soon, he arrived.
After Qin Chuan landed on the ground, he clasped his hands and bowed, "I am junior Qin Chuan, greetings Senior."
The old man smiled as he nodded his head. Then, lifting his arm, he spoke, "Qin Chuan, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Qin Chuan respectfully sat down.
The old man flicked his finger, and a cup of fragrant hot tea appeared in front of Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan didn"t like tea, but upon smelling the fragrance of this tea, he felt extremely thirsty and couldn"t help but want to finish the tea in one gulp.
The old man opposite him stroked his beard as he smiled, "Qin Chuan, there"s no need to be so reserved."
Qin Chuan humbly replied, "In that case, I shall not stand on ceremony."
The old man nodded.
After which, Qin Chuan picked up his teacup, preparing to drink the tea within. However, he suddenly stopped.
What if the tea is poisoned? Qin Chuan suddenly thought.
But on second thought, if the other party wanted to kill him, poisoning the tea would be unnecessary.
When he thought of this, Qin Chuan resisted the temptation and only took a small sip before putting it down.
The old man didn"t say anything regarding Qin Chuan"s actions. He still looked as amiable as a kind old grandpa.
Qin Chuan put down his teacup. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly faltered.
It was because he discovered that his primordial spirit had suddenly grown bigger like a bubble that swelled up.
This surprised him.
He knew very well that it was difficult to cultivate the primordial spirit. There must be something wrong with the sudden boost.
"Oh yes, this cup of tea…" Qin Chuan lowered his head and observed the steaming cup of tea.
The changes in his body happened after drinking the tea.
Hence, Qin Chuan was certain that the problem lay with this cup of tea.
"Senior, this tea…" Qin Chuan looked at the old man opposite him.
The old man only smiled. "Don"t be agitated, young friend. This is just a welcome gift from me."
A welcome gift?
Did that mean that there was something bigger to come?
As far as he knew, those that could instantly enhance the primordial spirit were extremely precious natural treasures.
But it was only a welcome gift in the old man"s eyes. He didn"t dare to imagine the things to follow.
For a time, Qin Chuan was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
He recalled the land of legacy and wondered if the old man opposite him would be like that old lady.
Amidst his antic.i.p.ation, the old man asked, "Qin Chuan, do you know why you are here?"
Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I only remember that I was studying the laws. I don"t know what happened next. One way or another, I arrived here."
"Senior, please enlighten me."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. "I created this world created. If you"ve come here, it means you have pa.s.sed my test.
"I must first congratulate you, young friend.
"I wonder if you wish to obtain my legacy?"
After Qin Chuan heard this, his heart started to pound.
It was indeed as he had expected, but he did not agree immediately.
Since the old man had personally admitted that this was the world he created, it meant that the old man"s strength was extraordinarily formidable to an unimaginable level.
Qin Chuan was filled with excitement, but he tried his best to calm himself down.
He asked, "May I be so bold as to ask for Senior"s name?"
The old man lifted his head and thought for a while. He frowned and said, "I can"t quite remember names after such a long time has pa.s.sed.
"I only remember that others call me Elder Raven."
Elder Raven…
Qin Chuan repeated this name in his heart.
Elder Raven continued, "Young friend, you might have also guessed that the [Stone of Nomological Laws] that you comprehended was formed by me."
Indeed, Qin Chuan had guessed this before, but he wasn"t too sure. After all, the old man was so powerful. Qin Chuan couldn"t even imagine him dying.
Someone like the old man who could create a world should have an endless lifespan.
If he was killed, how terrifying was his opponent?
Hence, Qin Chuan felt that there was no reason for the old man to die.
But now that the old man had personally admitted it, Qin Chuan couldn"t help but feel curious.
How did he die?
Was he killed?
Or what?
Qin Chuan had no idea. Although he was curious, it wasn"t an appropriate question for him to ask.
Elder Raven seemed to have seen through what Qin Chuan was thinking inwardly. He said cheerfully, "No one killed me. I chose to pa.s.s on."
These words shocked Qin Chuan.
He knew that living was instinctive.
If he could live a few more years, he would be overjoyed.
No one wanted to die early, except under special circ.u.mstances.
But the old man that had an endless lifespan chose to commit suicide?
There had to be a story behind this.
For a time, Qin Chuan became even more curious.
