Chapter 796: The Village of Law
Chapter 796: The Village of Law
Nolan turned his gaze towards the distant horizon. His technique granted him exceptional single-combatant capabilities, with almost no apparent weaknesses that ordinary Awakened individuals typically possessed.
However, when it came to flight or long-distance reconnaissance, he couldn't compare to those proficient in perception, like the Righteous Ones, or the 'Strategic Map' skill, which seemed like cheating.
Nolan recalled something else:
"Lindsey, you mentioned that guy was a Malevolent Deity."
"In our era, while there are some primitive beliefs, people have more faith in the power of the Awakened. Your description of a 'Malevolent Deity' is probably not as simple as it seems."
Lindsey immediately shared the Deviators' discussion with Nolan, also educating him about the knowledge of Deities:
"On my way here, I encountered some Deviators. In a place called the War Grave, they discovered the secret to becoming a Deity and thus initiated their corresponding plan..."
Lindsey explained the grave situation.
But Nolan's reaction was surprisingly carefree:
"That's not so bad."
"It's just that the original four-way battle now has a new faction added to the mix."
Lindsey had intended to offer further warnings.
However, seeing Nolan's expression, he decided to keep quiet.
After all, they were from different eras, and their understanding of the situation differed significantly.
The inherent beliefs of each era were deeply ingrained in people's minds.
This wasn't something he could change with a few words.
Nolan's attitude remained unchanged:
"Anyway, rest assured, Lindsey. The fact that you're from the future proves that the world continues to function normally, and crises will always be overcome."
Upon hearing Nolan's words, Lindsey realized:
"That's true. After all, the future has shown that the Abyss will fail, and your era will handle its affairs."
Their conversation concluded, and they continued on their way.
Using the Strategic Map, Lindsey scouted ahead and discovered that the Feathered Serpent had flown quite a distance. Its final resting place was hidden in a canyon at the base of a mountain range.
At this moment, it descended and weakly curled up inside, barely moving.
This Malevolent Deity exhibited no signs of life and had suppressed all its aura, so much so that the surrounding creatures were unaware of this new 'neighbor.'
Nolan spoke up at the right moment:
"How far away is that guy now?"
"Lindsey, we've been walking for a while. I can only observe its path in the sky; I can't pinpoint its exact location yet."
Lindsey described the situation using the Strategic Map:
"That guy flew faster than we ran. Ahead, there are two mountain ranges to cross. It finally hid in the center of a mountain range, in a canyon that sank into the ground..."
Listening to Lindsey's description, Nolan's expression grew serious:
"Lindsey, I must warn you. That place is now very close to the City of Law that Bena established."
"What?"
Lindsey was taken aback.
"Close to the City of Law?"
"We've only walked for a while. Are you joking?"
Lindsey had crossed the world twice on foot, granting him a deeper understanding of the challenges of traversing such vast distances.
Now, with their increased speed and the Freedom Seal to aid in flight, even with over a day's time, it was impossible for Lindsey to reach the world's center directly!
Nolan provided an explanation:
"Bena's city was originally located on this side. Perhaps in the future, when the world prospers, he'll relocate the city."
"But now, this world has just sprouted, and if you go further, there aren't even plants growing, it's not a place where people can survive."
Lindsey noticed a word:
"The world... sprouted?"
Nolan sensed Lindsey's astonishment and smiled subtly.
"Yes, it sprouted."
"Don't you know? At the ends of the universe, there isn't an absolute end, because it always maintains an outward growth trend, and every century, a brand new world is birthed!"
"..."
The world grows?
Not only did Lindsey not know this, but the places where he studied in the future also had no such records!
As Lindsey fell into shock, Nolan felt rather pleased.
He had been surprised by Lindsey repeatedly, and now it was his turn to astonish Lindsey!
Then, Nolan proceeded to explain in detail:
"Don't be too shocked, this is also rare knowledge that I acquired during my adventures!"
Looking at the smug Nolan, Lindsey sighed.
"You..."
Nolan smiled faintly.
"And I have an additional piece of news—according to my observations, every 10 years, there's a key node for world growth. So, if we consider 10 instances of this as a phase, then every time this phase passes, a new world is born. This is a fact I've witnessed with my own eyes!"
Lindsey immediately made a speculation:
"So the birth of the world is also related to the Essence Surge?"
Nolan shrugged:
"I'm not certain, but your guess might be correct."
The two discussed information while traveling, and they also finalized a plan to subjugate the Feathered Serpent.
Nolan had already expressed his intention to provide support to Lindsey.
This ancestor of the Law Paladin was an extremely powerful Awakened with formidable strength, capable of defeating the Feathered Serpent with dual abilities in a one-on-one battle.
Now, with Lindsey by his side, the two worked together.
This battle against the Feathered Serpent felt almost effortless.
In the afternoon, Lindsey and Nolan crossed two mountain ranges together.
As the sky turned to dusk, the last golden light of the day illuminated the ground. Lindsey also caught a glimpse of the future Law Capital's prototype.
It was a village occupying an area of merely a hundred acres.
The houses were all made of wood, and even bricks were extremely rare.
From their high vantage point, they saw a few wisps of smoke rising from the village, creating a scene as simple and clean as a realistic medieval oil painting.
"..."
"This is the Law Capital..."
For a moment, Lindsey realized that this was the prototype of one of the future's strongest forces, so he took out his camera and captured the scene before him.
Nolan reminded him, "Lindsey, be careful here too."
Lindsey was puzzled.
"People of this era, of this world, shouldn't have any reason to bear ill intentions towards me, right?"
Nolan's gaze swept over Lindsey, and he smiled with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Not necessarily."
"The people from Beyond World are right ahead, and they will definitely sense our arrival. And you carry the auras of both the Divine Realm and the Seven Star Federation, and they are very sensitive to those!"
Whoosh—
As soon as Nolan finished speaking, a rift tore open in front of them, and several figures in plain clothes emerged from within.
