YM778.TV Chapter 502 Some Answers
But whether it was unfortunate or not, there was another voice in his head that stopped him from asking such a question. It was the voice of Lex\'s pride that he had accumulated so far. It was the voice that said he did not need handouts and easy solutions. Instead, he should look for the tools he needed to improve himself even further. But he had already asked 2 questions related to his cultivation. What else could he ask?
Should he ask what his affinity did? Or maybe a way to improve on arrays? Should he ask about his left eye? Should he…
This was not a time sensitive issue, since the figure did not tell Lex he had to hurry, but he did not think it was wise to waste too much time, nonetheless. Unable to decide what exactly to prioritize, Lex decided to change his approach.
"What are some things you think I need to know?" he asked, hoping this question wouldn\'t be a waste.
"Heh, see, you\'re getting better already. That\'s why I like you. You started off not so bright, let me tell you, but you\'ve been improving nonstop. Now let\'s see. What are things you need to know? Let\'s start with the fact that time travel is completely possible. You can travel from the present to the future. But travel in any other direction is impossible. Don\'t even think about it. There is no level of power you can reach where such a thing is possible. You don\'t even want to know the kind of punishment those who try end up suffering.
"I\'m telling you this not because I think you\'ll want to time travel. I\'m telling you this because, statistically speaking, you\'ll come across a situation where you\'ll need to make a decision. One will be a smart decision, and the other will be a decision you will regret not making forever. When that time comes, child, just keep this in mind. There is no remedy for regret.
"Next, there\'s a chatroom for system users, created by someone who has a system for chat rooms. Sooner or later you\'ll receive an invite. You\'ll be tempted to join it. It\'s completely safe, and no one can track you just because you use it, not even the original system wielder. Don\'t join it.
"Since we\'re on the topic of systems, all systems operate under a certain number of rules. Some of them are common, some of them are different, but regardless, try to understand the rules of your own system. Nothing is as random or meaningless as it may seem.
"Another thing, once you\'re confident enough, travel to as many realms as possible, trust me. The younger the realm, the better. You\'ll find unexpected surprises waiting for you.
"But you know, all of these things are very generic and boring pieces of advice. What\'s something interesting?"
The figure moved about, as if it was looking left and right, searching for something.
"Ah yes, here we go! Alright, remember this. In the Origin realm, there is a galaxy called Suera. In that galaxy there is a belt of rogue planets just traveling through space, no star to center them or guide their motion. Within that belt lies an extremely valuable item that will be greatly beneficial to you. But you have approximately 6 months before someone else finds it. It could be sooner or later, but not by much."
The figure paused, as if to think for a moment, and then said, "Yeah, that should about cover it. Think of this as a bonus reward for entertaining me a bit. If you\'re ever able to do something on the same level as surpass the Regal Embrace and attract my attention again, I might visit you another time. But, frankly speaking, it\'s unlikely, so there\'s a good chance this is the last time we meet. Also, don\'t suddenly be scared that anyone can intrude in your Inn the way I did. There\'s not a lot of beings in the universe at my level, if any…"
Before the figure\'s voice disappeared, Lex jerked awake, and found himself lying in his bed shirtless. He looked around left and right, but found everything was perfectly normal in his apartment.
Was it just a dream?
Lex snorted at the idea and jumped out of bed. He was perfectly capable of differentiating reality from a dream, so he knew full well that everything he had experienced was not a creation of his subconscious brain. He entered the meditation room and sat down in a meditation pose, calming his mind.
When he was ready, he manipulated his soul sense - something that had become much easier since he learnt to control his spirit sense since the premise was the same.
He wrapped his body in his soul sense, and delved within till he saw the familiar golden shine of the system hidden within himself.
Then, using his soul sense, he touched it, and pulled it out of his body and into his hand. For the first time, Lex laid eyes on the thing that had given him so much. At the same time, he had confirmed at least some of what the figure had told him.
