Chapter 785: Helpless
Chapter 785: Helpless
Lindsey and Kang Song were deep in conversation, discussing various aspects of their lives and the future of City of Law. Despite their different eras, their shared beliefs in human rights and personal goals were enough to bridge the gap in their power levels, making them close friends who confided in each other.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lindsey learned more about the future from Kang Song, information that would have otherwise been impossible to obtain.
Kang Song was not originally from City of Law; he grew up in the world of Dawn Forge. From his awakening to his memory cultivation, he had barely left this world until he reached the seventh stage and was tasked with protecting a city called Sun City.
It was only recently that Kang Song made a decision based on his internal judgment to travel to City of Law and attempt to restore order to this world.
And it was at this moment that the Steelheart Sword appeared in his hand.
"So that's how it is!" Lindsey exclaimed, finally understanding.
"To some extent, this sword seems to possess self-awareness and actively chooses its owner, rather than requiring some kind of ritual to select its wielder!"
Kang Song nodded in agreement, "At least before it came into my possession, it must have been in City of Law. Dawn Forge couldn't accommodate the existence of such a weapon."
Lindsey thought about the attributes of the Steelheart Sword and, considering his current situation, proposed an idea, "Kang Song, since the Steelheart Sword can sever concepts like causality and fate, can it disrupt this kind of spatial chaos?"
"That's definitely not a problem!" Kang Song nodded, then quickly changed the subject, "But Lindsey, even if I wanted to help you, what should I do? I can't just swing it and slash at you, right?"
"..." Lindsey swallowed.
Kang Song summoned the Steelheart Sword into his hand and held it up, its blade pointing towards Lindsey.
"Then why don't you try holding it yourself?" Kang Song suggested, offering the hilt to Lindsey.
"..." Lindsey understood Kang Song's generous and forthright personality. He boldly extended his right hand and grasped the plain hilt.
A loud crackle filled the air as Lindsey gripped the hilt, and Kang Song released the blade.
But in the next moment, the cold sensation in Lindsey's hand vanished.
Kang Song, standing before him with a wry smile, shook his head and recreated a white longsword in his hand.
"It seems like it doesn't want to be held by others," Kang Song remarked.
"Or perhaps my control over it is not yet sufficient?" Kang Song asked, sounding frustrated.
"I remember in the Chronicles of the Young King Lawbringer, there was a mention of a Righteous One lending the Steelheart Sword to others. Is the gap between the seventh and eighth stages really that significant?"
"That's just a biographical story, not historical documentation," Lindsey quipped, continuing, "You treat everyone as equals, but strength doesn't work that way.
Kang Song burst into laughter:
"Yes, just as you said."
"In the future, I hope that Essence and Technique can become tools for all. Although there will still be class distinctions, it won't be as extreme as the Awakened system, creating such an exaggerated gap."
Regarding the order of time and space.
Lindsey and Kang Song tried other methods.
Unfortunately, the Seventh Stage Righteous One had not grasped the rules of time and space, and Lindsey was clueless, leaving both of them helpless in the current situation.
Thus, they continued their journey eastward.
When noon arrived, Kang Song suggested experiencing Lindsey's culinary skills.
The latter naturally lit the hearth, intending to prepare a delicious lunch for his friend from the 'past'.
As Kang Song waited, he expressed his thoughts on what he had just learned:
"Although it was somewhat expected."
"But I never imagined they would actually succeed."
"Lindsey, according to what you said, the believers and deities ruling the universe this time is also the reason why believers can build their own World Capitals and become one of the thirteen mainstream Awakened factions in the future."
The Righteous One's words were filled with profound implications.
Upon hearing this, Lindsey's thoughts wandered, and his gaze, fixed on the flames, shifted upwards. He handed over the freshly cooked food:
"From your tone, it seems this has happened before?"
"Of course." Kang Song took a bite, his eyes sparkling with delight, but his strong will prevented him from indulging further. He continued to answer Lindsey's question, "The last time was with the Artisans. They were only good at crafting farming tools and weapons or coming up with ingenious tricks, never rising to prominence."
"Until one of them awakened to the Creation Rule, their influence rapidly expanded, triggering a massive transformation that affected the entire universe."
"It was after reading the records of that great war that I gradually developed the concept of human equality."
Lindsey prepared his food, saying:
"Since you have such thoughts, what do you plan to do?"
"Starting with sensing the hearts of people." Kang Song pointed to his heart, "My path as a Righteous One has many self-explored aspects. This advanced sensory technique originates from my unique skills."
As Kang Song spoke, he couldn't help but praise Lindsey's cooking:
"Honestly, my good brother, your cooking is too delicious!"
"If it weren't for the risk of ruining someone's future—when I become the King of the City of Law, I must advise some Awakened to specialize in culinary arts. It's a skill that can bring happiness to people!"
Lindsey couldn't help but chuckle:
"You, my friend, I was expecting you to share your sensory techniques."
"The ways of the Righteous One." Kang Song stretched out his greasy right hand, scratching his hair, "How should I put it? Like those artists who can sense emotions and souls?"
"In any case, I plan to share my experiences so that the people of the City of Law can sense each other's will and soul. Mutual understanding is the first step towards building an equal relationship."
Kang Song spoke with utmost seriousness.
But upon hearing this, Lindsey's expression became complex as he thought of a familiar person—Alice.
"..."
He watched Kang Song, still happily chewing on the grilled meat.
Lindsey's expression grew more intricate.
Apparently, Alice's excessive sensory ability came from you!
