I Can Travel between Two Worlds
Chapter 360 - 79: Prophet, Is Lin Chen the Savior of Humanity? (Double-Length)_3
Elder Lv looked deeply at Max and asked in a solemn voice:
"So, Max... what is the real reason you chose to join Great Xia?"
"There are no outsiders here, just speak openly."
Upon hearing this, Max fell silent.
He glanced around; besides himself,
there were only Lin Chen, Wang Lishan, and Elder Lv in the room.
Max thought for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, a black curtain of light enveloped the entire room.
Seeing this, Elder Lv frowned slightly but did not stop him.
Lin Chen looked around and noticed that this energy seemed non-destructive, only isolating them from outside surveillance.
At this moment, Max’s playful smile from before completely disappeared.
In a low voice, he asked:
"Lv, how much do you know about me?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Lv raised an eyebrow and said:
"Well, according to Great Xia’s intelligence, your combat prowess is not strong. Even if you break through to the Martial Emperor... I could capture you with one hand."
Hearing this, Max shrugged and didn’t deny it.
Indeed, his Martial Spirit was special, and combat wasn’t his strength.
Don’t be fooled by his Martial Emperor Realm; his actual strength was estimated to be only mid to late Martial Emperor Period.
At this, Elder Lv changed the topic slightly and continued:
"However, your level of danger... is very high!"
"To be honest, within Great Xia’s internal intelligence system... if you were to defect, the blow to humanity would be immense."
Max chuckled at this, responding:
"Indeed, is it because of my unique Martial Spirit? Or should I say... that which you call the Prophet’s Martial Spirit?"
Elder Lv nodded, asking:
"So, Max... what exactly is the Prophet?"
Max paused and then, to everyone’s shock, said:
"Actually, there has never been a Prophet Martial Spirit... my Martial Spirit is myself!"
"Only, it’s a different timeline... it’s myself from the past and future! Or rather... I can see future information."
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed a bit stunned.
The Martial Spirit is himself?
That was too bizarre...
Max explained:
"It’s complicated... just regard me as the Prophet, because... these eyes of mine truly can see the future!"
Saying this, he pointed to his own deep green eyes.
After hearing this, Elder Lv thought for a moment, then asked:
"So, what did you see? What made you make such a significant decision?"
Max chuckled and said:
"In the original timeline, the future I saw... was that thirty years later the First and Second Martial Realms would completely fall."
"Seventy years later, all Martial Realms will collapse entirely... the entire Human Race would retreat to Blue Star."
"In that future, day and night, everyone in the Human Race lived in constant fear... countless Demon Beasts poured into Blue Star..."
"Eventually, Blue Star was completely occupied by Demon Beasts. The Human Race perished a hundred years later."
Upon hearing this, no one spoke.
Indeed, before the promotion of Cultivation, the situation facing Blue Star was just that dire.
Saying the Human Race would be wiped out a century later was already a conservative estimate.
But after the promotion of Cultivation, the advancement of Great Xia’s Martial Path was visible to the naked eye.
In just twenty years, the number of Martial Spirit level experts increased by nearly ten thousand.
Not to mention Martial Masters and Grand Martial Masters, which numbered in the millions.
And this rate of growth has never stopped.
The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, Qi Blood Pill, Spirit Rice, Breathing Technique...
Their popularization has made Great Xia’s Martial Path stronger than ever before.
In just twenty years, Great Xia’s martial strength nearly doubled.
Although it currently offers little help to those above the Martial King.
Yet quantity changes lead to qualitative changes; the base of low realm Martial Artists is large enough that in the coming decades, perhaps Martial Monarchs or even Martial Kings will experience explosive growth.
All of this is due to Lin Chen, personally.
In this age, an individual truly can determine the future direction of the world.
In a sense, Lin Chen’s significance to the High Martial World exceeds even that of a Martial God.
"So, what does the future look like after the timeline changed?"
Lin Chen asked with some curiosity.
"Oh, dear Lin."
Max reverted to his exaggerated tone and said:
"You are humanity’s savior. A magnificent being guiding the future towards the light..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"You weren’t meant to appear in this world."
"Yet, in the altered future, I saw you leading the Human Race to prosperity."
"Leading the Human Race to defend the Martial Realm, even driving Demon Beasts out of it... In that future, we even entered the Great Cosmic Era!"
Lin Chen appeared somewhat puzzled, "The Great Cosmic Era?"
Max nodded and said:
"Lin, it’s already 3045... you don’t think humanity is still confined to this mother star, do you?"
"In fact, humanity’s current technology is already sufficient for mid- to long-distance travel. Mo Country’s latest spaceship can reach one percent of the speed of light."
"But, so what?"
"Under the blockade of the Martial Realm... we can never leave the mother star."
"At most, we can only build a few orbiting satellites within the planet’s nearest orbit..."
Hearing this, Lin Chen blinked; it seemed like information he hadn’t paid attention to before.
At this point, Wang Lishan nodded and said:
"Mo Country’s technology in space travel is indeed leading humanity..."
"However, due to the Martial Realm’s existence, humanity can never leave the space region more than a million kilometers from Blue Star."
"This is a fact discovered a thousand years ago..."
Max then added:
"It’s as if there’s an invisible glass dome, enclosing the entire Blue Star."
"We, the people of Blue Star... we are the pitiful creatures bred for the Demon Beasts..."
"And the Martial Realm is the hunting ground for Demon Beasts!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen fell completely silent.
