The Primordial Record

Chapter 1003: Awakening Of Madness (5)

There were many precious things in this world, but undoubtedly Aura, especially the purified variants was near the top of the list, after all it was the only method that a mortal could become an Immortal and fight against the Calamity without perishing under an endless tide of teeth and claws.

This amount of purified Aura would stun the entire world.

So what could it mean? How could such a thing happen?

Noah asked himself these questions, forcing his mind to work logically, because panic was leading him nowhere.

Well if there was an Aura generated after New Hope was destroyed then it means what fell from the heavens was a living being, or was it?

He had not reached the bottom of the crater but as a Deific Rank Explorer, Noah had very clear senses of what was living and what was dead. He had sensed no life when that thing swept past him, and nothing in the bottom of the crater.

That was one part of the reason why he felt that something else had occurred here. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Noah was clear that unless the Hope Continent had increased in Rank from New up to the Ancient Class and was referred to as the Ancient Hope Continent, there was no way this amount of Aura could be generated from its destruction.

Like people or Calamity, Continents could also increase their ranking, virgin continents that were born from the endless ocean were referred to as New, so in the case of the Hope Continent, it was called New Hope.

Each increased ranking of a continent contributed to its overall value and the capacity for it to contain greater land mass and hold stronger Explorers and Calamities. The amount of Aura floating down below would need an Ancient Class Continent, which contained extremely powerful beings to produce.

If he could take a logical leap and follow his earlier deduction that what fell from the sky was a piece of Heaven itself because no living being could survive from that height that could easily kill Ascended Ranked Explorer and the presence of these Icy Spikes and the environment inside the crater, then was it possible that a piece of heaven had fallen to the earth, and could it generate pure Aura when it was used as a weapon to kill?

This was not such a far stretch in conclusion, because Noah realized that if the entire Chaotic Aura was cleansed without any wastage then this amount of Aura below could be explained if every living being had been killed in a New continent.

This conclusion was drawn from random pieces of evidence around him, but the biggest reason why this should be the truth was staring at him, and he could not disregard the fact that after all this time the Aura was still unclaimed!

Purified Aura was immediately absorbed by the body of the living, and for it to lay unclaimed after all this while meant there was nothing living here to claim it.

The light from the twin Auras was bright enough that he could finally glimpse a bit of what lay at the bottom of the crater, many miles below, and it finalized the conclusion in his mind. It appeared as if a large landmass had crashed into the earth, that was not a living thing.

It seemed that Noah had just discovered a piece of heaven.

Noah Rithmast knew the pitfalls that could arise on the path to Ascendency due to greed, and yet he nearly lost his mind and pushed towards the bottom of this crater without caring for the dangers ahead.

If he could harvest a fifth of the Calamity Aura here, he could become an Ascended Explorer, the peak of life as an Immortal, and then he would have the qualifications to challenge continents that were higher than the Ancient Class and gain his own Will.

Yet something so amazing was just the tip of the iceberg. The main prize was still below and unclaimed. A piece of the heavens that could purify Chaotic Aura.

Noah was a bit scared to even imagine the value of such a thing. This could change the entire power structure across the entire world, and both Calamity and Explorer would go to a world- ending war to claim such a treasure, whoever held it for long would grow so powerful in such a short time, that the endless battle would transform to victory in the blink of an eye.

Such a treasure had fallen in his lap but he was helpless to claim it.

It was one of the hardest things Noah had ever done but he turned away from the crater and left. If he was to succeed, he would not be doing it alone. The dangers below were beyond what he could manage by himself, he would need hundreds if not thousands of Deific Rank Explorers and a couple of Ascended Rank Explorers at the least.

He was not the only one who saw the destruction of the continent, but most would delay their investigation until more concrete proof of what happened here came to light. This would be a chance for him to meet the right people and negotiate his share in this bounty.

A Deific Rank Explorer was not fit to hold any ground in such matters as the management of the piece of Heaven, but Noah knew the price he would be asking.

One of them was that he should be granted the entire sea of Malefic Aura below, this should push him to the Ascended Rank and far past it to the level that only legends aspired towards.

Only at such a rank would he have any say in the way the Piece of Heaven would be used. Noah regretted not being able to reach the bottom of the crater and harvest all those Aura, but the dangers in this place were too much.

Noah left, and although he hurried through the preparation, gathering this amount of powerful Explorers was not easy, but in the end, he gathered a sizable force, and fifty years later Noah Rithmast returned to claim his destiny.
