Novel Full Chapter 372 - Looking Towards The Future
{Shinka not only inherited a powerful Soul Weapon with great abilities and potential from her ancestor, but has also surpassed her ancestor in many ways that even she is ignorant to. It is unbelievable that the host has come across her and is lucky to ally with her at such an early stage. It is great that the host followed his instincts and became allied with her, but the host may struggle to keep up with her, since her potential and talent are incredible. With the encouragement and advice that the host has given her, it is only a matter of time before she unlocks her true potential} stated the system.
[That's great and I am happy for her and glad that I made such a powerful ally. However, I won't struggle to keep up with anybody and that still doesn't explain how she was able to open the portal without any external assistance or chant] said Adam.
He was by no means jealous or intimidated by Shinka's potential, instead, it made him eager to continue progressing and he felt that returning to the outside world was necessary for his progress.
Along with that, he had many things that he needed to do and he weirdly felt as though time was of the essence, so urged the system to speak.
{Certainly with the system's assistance, the host will not only be able to keep up with her, but also surpass her, however, there are some things that even the system is incapable of} stated the system, shocking Adam who had never heard the system admit that it wasn't invincible and omnipotent.
Ava, who was speaking for the system's program was also shocked by that, but she and Adam had expected such a thing to be the case.
With all the revelations that Adam had been given by the system, it was clear that the universe was much wider than one could even imagine and that there were many capable and godly figures throughout the universe.
However, that absolutely didn't let Adam become less ambitious or afraid, not relying on the system in any way and knowing that he was still extremely capable even without it,
His perceptivity and natural talent for cultivation were also amazing and even without the system's assistance, Adam was bound to becoming a great figure in the universe.
{Do not get the system wrong, the system didn't mean it couldn't provide the host such opportunities and abilities, but it meant that it could have limited effects and influence on the universe. The production of the Soul Dungeons and Physical Dungeons, as well as slowing down the time within them, is the limit of the system's capability when it comes to impacting the universe. Meaning the host cannot expect the system to be able to save the host when he is in a perilous situation in reality and even within the dungeon} clarified Ava.
{That statement was brought up due to Shinka having a much deeper influence and future in the underworld than the host can imagine. Along with all the miraculous capabilities of her body, time also flows differently in the underworld and 1 year, in reality, is around 10 years in the underworld. Although time may flow differently in different spaces, one's ageing is always consistent. This means that if she were to meet the host in a year, although she may appear the same age as the host, she would have had 10 times the amount of time as the host to train and gain knowledge and power}
Adam chuckled and was even more excited to explore the underworld and other spaces in the universe, while he also desired to be able to train in such environments where time flowed slower.
{As for how she was able to form a portal to the underworld independently, it was due to her Spacial Affinity. A Spacial Affinity is with space itself and along with the Time Affinity, is one of the rarest affinities. There are many affinities other than Elemental Affinities and everything in the universe can be used and manipulated by the will of individuals as long as one had an affinity with it and enough energy to do so}
That revelation opened up Adam's mind to many theories and ideas, such as the proof of the existence of a creator, however, such things were too profound and distant for him to think about for long.
All he could feel was excitement and anticipation as he looked towards the future.
[Well then, it seems that I still have a long way to go and many things to learn and experience] he said to himself with a smile, clearing his mind from everything that had just occurred.
Adam couldn't help but praise his luck for such a fortuitous encounter that allowed him to form an ally with such great potential, and Shinka felt the same way.
However, for the time being, their alliance was secret and wouldn't be very active, while Adam also had other allies that he had to worry about and needed to continue increasing his power and developing the Sentinels Faction.
After this entire realm was under his control, there are 63 others that the Sentinel Faction had to grow enough to protect and his best bet at being able to do so was by taking over all the ancients.
Doing so would need great power, great support and a lot of time, but Adam was on the right track to doing so and switched back to his Physical Form from the Soul Form that he had been in for the past few hours.
Adam had a smile on his face and his mind was clear with a few things at the forefront of his mind.
He couldn't shake off the feeling of there being danger and along with that, he could sense large amounts of energy in a particular direction that seemed to be outside the city.
With Adam's great speed, taking a vehicle would merely hold him back and without any hesitation or fear, Adam dashed in the direction where he sensed all the energy.
