Chapter 1410: Special Ability
The battle on Dragon Fall Island ended, and the remaining leaves on the island’s tree branches had turned from green to yellow, as three months quietly passed.
After that battle, the Righteous Alliance suffered a heavy blow from the Demon Sect, losing nine out of ten of its strong fighters, leaving only the Alliance Hierarch Jiang Wuyue and a few young prodigies.
The Righteous Alliance was forced to shrink its territory, almost becoming akin to a mere sect, losing its former grandeur, and leaving people with a sense of lamentable downfall.
The Demon Sect seized the opportunity to expand its control, but dared not go too far, as there were many sects that hadn’t joined the Righteous Alliance, with many hidden old monsters.
They did not care whether the Righteous Alliance or the Demon Sect occupied their land, but if things went too far, they would certainly not agree and would cause trouble.
So Tu Wanshan ordered the Demon Sect Cultivators not to create chaos, other than collecting various resources from the former Righteous Alliance lands, everything else was to remain as it was.
But many would recall the young cultivator who boldly self-destructed above Heavenly Cutting Abyss, shining like a meteor, quickly falling, leaving them heartbroken every time they remembered that scene.
Why self-destruct? Let them refine the great medicine, and maybe a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm could happen.
At this moment, Chen Nan was unaware of how many people "missed" him so, as he was trapped in a realm of chaos, not knowing the essence of time.
"Daoist, you’ve really been tricked by him!" The Divine Calculator looked at the enormous cocoon before him, mumbling curses: "Three months have passed, at least give me some sign!"
Back when the King of Ten Thousand Gu crossed the heavenly tribulation, he noticed the little snake needed to cocoon and found an uninhabited island.
The cocoon became larger and could easily accommodate a person, and one could even feel the vast life force emanating from within, yet there was no movement for three months.
The Divine Calculator waited like an anxious father for his child to be born.
The main reason was that this place was unbearably boring; no people, not even a single sea beast in three months.
Barren as though the world had been reduced to just him and a large cocoon, driving him to near madness from the boredom.
Finally, just as the Divine Calculator considered leaving the cocoon behind for the umpteenth time, the cocoon suddenly began to shake violently, with soft light diffusing from within, like warm jade, full of life force.
"Awakened?" The Divine Calculator’s eyes widened, unsure whether to be happy or angry.
Under his gaze, a hand suddenly emerged from inside the cocoon, followed by an arm, shoulder, then legs, and body.
Chen Nan’s head was last to extend out of the cocoon.
"Hehe, I’m back!"
The Divine Calculator looked on with disdain, nodding as he appraised Chen Nan, clicking his tongue: "At least cover up a bit, we know you’ve got a great physique, alright?"
Chen Nan looked down, only then realizing he was unclad, key to his resurrection just completed, even his body was reshaped by the King of Ten Thousand Gu, how could he have clothes?
Luckily, there were no others here, otherwise, he’d die of embarrassment. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
He quickly checked and found his Golden Core still intact, with the King of Ten Thousand Gu asleep within, and the Immortal Palace Space inside the Golden Core still present, breathing a sigh of relief as he retrieved a spare garment from the Immortal Palace Space and donned it.
"Many thanks, Daoist brother!" Chen Nan sincerely clasped his hands, for during his resurrection, the Divine Calculator consistently watched over him, deserving of a bow.
"No need, I won’t fall for it; this favor isn’t easily repaid—you must work tirelessly for this Daoist!" The Divine Calculator suddenly raised his head, his expression infuriating.
Chen Nan ignored him, turning his gaze to the broken cocoon, with a unique yearning that made him want to devour the cocoon.
"Could it be that the little snake is influencing me?"
After three resurrections, the King of Ten Thousand Gu and he were inseparable, so he suspected the yearning for the cocoon came from the King of Ten Thousand Gu.
After some contemplation, he tore off a piece of the cocoon and began to gradually refine it.
The nearby Divine Calculator was quite surprised: "What are you doing? I’ve only heard of some spiders eating their own webs and spinning new threads—are you like that too?"
"I’m just experimenting, it seems somehow different."
As he spoke, Chen Nan had already refined the cocoon piece; suddenly, a flash of insight blossomed within his heart, as if refining the cocoon could bestow him a new ability.
He spread his fingers, and with a thought, threads extended from his fingertips, finer than hair, invisible unless examined closely.
"Perhaps it’s still due to the little snake; I know the ’Nine Tribulations’ will transform the little snake into a true Gu God, but it seems accompanied by other changes."
"As the little snake and I are now one, these changes manifest in me as well."
Understanding this, Chen Nan hesitated no longer and sat back amidst the cocoon, his mana surging like tendrils onto the cocoon, gradually refining it.
The Divine Calculator, bored beyond measure, angrily walked aside, realizing another wait was inevitable.
Refining the cocoon progressed far faster than Chen Nan’s resurrection, only taking three days to complete. Now, with a thought, threads could emanate from his body.
Just now, he remained uncertain about the thread’s true purpose.
Coincidentally, as a falling leaf drifted down, Chen Nan thought and a thread rapidly extended from his fingertip, stabbing into the void.
A shockingly strange occurrence ensued—the leaf slowed, its descent halved tenfold.
Chen Nan was astounded and quickly withdrew the thread; the leaf resumed its normal speed, drifting slowly to the ground.
The bizarre scene was clearly observed by the Divine Calculator, who came to Chen Nan and spoke, voice slightly hoarse.
"You, you can wield the power of Time Law?"
Chen Nan looked down, spreading his palm, letting threads extend: "Is this the power of time? But I seem unable to sustain it for long."
His mana had already been depleted by one-tenth during that brief moment.
"You brat are incredible; the Time Law, a law many spend their lives struggling to touch, and you can wield it? Speak, are you some big-shot reincarnated?"
The Divine Calculator, with envy, jealousy, and hate, sought to dig deeper, wondering who could be so fortunate?
Having gained not just the seedling of Power of Space Law, but now also the power of time—not logical!
Chen Nan chuckled wryly: "I almost believe I’m a great figure reincarnated, but truly, I am not."
"Moreover, it is not my own power, but a special divine skill the King of Ten Thousand Gu acquired after crossing the ’Third Tribulation’, and I merely benefit from it."
