Chapter 795: The Coin Collector
Chapter 795: The Coin Collector
Lin Sai sighed, "Every era has its own struggles and conflicts."
Nolan, being a part of this era, had a more specific and clearer view, "The Divine Realm is ruled by pure superhumans, managed by the most powerful warriors in the entire universe. But their strength doesn't guarantee competent governance, and problems naturally arise."
"As for the Seven Star Federation, people initially gathered and helped each other, fostering an extraordinary vitality. But as various factions became deeply entrenched, they formed a terrifying rule that's even harder to overthrow than the Divine Realm."
"The path to the future is something we must slowly discover..."
Nolan's words were heartfelt.
He didn't wear his usual smile but instead carried a worried expression about the future of this era.
Lin Sai patted Nolan on the shoulder, "But in my era, they're all gone."
"Whether people accept old things or not, some things are slowly killed by time and eventually replaced by the new."
"..."
"Hahaha!"
Nolan was taken aback for a moment.
He realized that the young man before him was from the future, and he suddenly felt relieved, "How can I argue with you about something that has already happened?"
"But speaking of which, since you don't live in this era, you can't understand the significance of the Divine Realm and the Seven Star Federation. They represent authority, corruption, strength, and hope. Not to mention you carry the essence of both..."
Lin Sai shook his head, "The essence I carry is because..."
He paused his explanation as he remembered an old and seemingly useless item in his bag.
He looked at Nolan, who was deep in thought.
Lin Sai then opened his bag, took out a small pouch, and retrieved an ancient coin from within, which he handed to Nolan, "Here, take a look at this."
Nolan accepted the coin with a puzzled expression.
His power of law then comprehended the composition of the coin in his hand.
[Artifact: Ancient Coin]
[A coin from the Seven Star Federation, minted to commemorate the restoration of peace with the Fifth Divine Realm.]
[Collectors would love such an item!]
"..."
"It's... it's actually this coin."
Nolan's voice carried a hint of emotion, and his eyes glistened with tears.
He abruptly looked up at Lin Sai, "Lin Sai, can I have this?"
Lin Sai didn't hesitate, "Of course, to me, it's just an antique."
"If you insist on its use—perhaps one day when I'm destitute, I'll spend it as money. If you want it, you can take it all..."
"I only need one! One is enough." Nolan interrupted Lin Sai, carefully placing the coin in his pocket with his world-breaking hands, as if tucking away hope and peace, "For you, it's indeed just an antique."
Then, the Seventh Stage Awakened raised his head again, "Lin Sai, what are you planning to do?"
Lin Sai nodded, "My purpose is to slay that giant snake."
Nolan nodded in agreement.
The Seventh Stage Awakened, with a changed attitude, continued to reminisce about the past, "Now, the Advocate Union..."
"The decline began with the Fifth Divine Realm and continued with the Sixth."
"During my early days as an Awakened, when the Fifth Divine Realm still existed, a great war broke out between the Divine Court and the Seven Star Federation. After countless hardships and the selfless efforts of dedicated individuals, peace was finally restored."
"And this ancient coin is a testament to that grand endeavor."
"I thought that era had been reduced to mere historical dust, crushed by the new wars, but it seems some traces remain..."
Nolan narrated the past, and Lindsey learned about the differences between the Divine Court and the Seven Star Federation.
The latter, due to its alliance nature, had not undergone significant power shifts, except for the increasing corruption within its ranks.
However, the Divine Court experienced a significant upheaval approximately every thousand years, resulting in the death of its rulers.
"Death is inevitable, especially for warriors dedicated to the pursuit of combat techniques. It is the most common outcome for them."
From the Exile Era to the present, four Eighth Stage warriors have perished, and now the Sixth Divine Realm has emerged.
Each ruler of the Sixth Divine Realm had their own unique stance. It was a time of both the best and the worst.
After hearing this history, Lindsey thought of the Deviators she had encountered.
They had come to this place, the under-construction City of Laws, to investigate:
"Nolan, do you know about the Abyss?"
"The Abyss? Yes, I do." Nolan nodded, "They claim to be from the Great Rift at the center of the universe. When the world was on the brink of desolation, they found a glimmer of hope there and barely survived."
Lindsey bluntly revealed the truth about the Abyss:
"They aren't as weak as you think."
"The Abyss faction is divided into three main branches: Darkest, Carnage, and Deviator. Among them, I know that the leader of the Carnage branch is an Eighth Stage Awakened known as the Crown of Extinction!"
Nolan understood Lindsey's implication:
"You think they're plotting something?"
Lindsey shook her head and then nodded:
"I'm not entirely sure."
"But from my research into historical records, it seems they may have started a massive war across the universe. In my time, the Divine Court, Seven Star Federation, Advocate Union, and Beyond World have all vanished without a trace."
Nolan raised an eyebrow:
"The Abyss wiped them all out."
Lindsey couldn't confirm what she didn't know:
"I can only say that it was a massive war involving the entire universe."
Nolan was speechless for a moment.
He opened his mouth to say something but ended up laughing:
"Hey, I was fed up with that guy Ben, thinking he could just run away."
"But now it seems I have to go back."
"Lindsey, you've given me something to do!"
Lindsey smiled in response.
At that moment, she looked at the map, paused, and pointed to a distant location, saying to Nolan:
"I have some good news."
"That runaway serpent has finally stopped, it seems it's found a place to recover."
