Chapter 1539: Giant Beasts in the Spatial Layer

“How much fighting strength did Wang Yulun use?” Xu Fan asked, still feeling a bit sleepy.

“90 percent.”

“Tell them that doesn’t count. From now on, Yulun should only use 60 percent of his fighting strength in challenges,” Xu Fan said after some thought.

“Understood.”

“He just can’t help showing off in front of his son. That’s not good,” Xu Fan chuckled, then went back to studying the runes.

Not long after, a spatial gate opened, and Wang Yulun stepped out.

“Big Brother Xu, I got carried away earlier and almost used my full strength,” Wang Yulun said, looking a bit embarrassed.

“It’s fine. But if you use your full strength, it might give them the wrong idea about their own abilities. Stick to 60 percent from now on,” Xu Fan advised.

“Got it.”

Seeing Wang Yulun’s proud fatherly expression, Xu Fan sighed softly.

“The River of Time from the large world flows into the chaotic River of Time, which then moves toward an unknown region.”

“Back then, our strength grew too slowly. By the time we became powerful, it was already too late,” Xu Fan said wistfully.

He, too, had someone he wished to revive, but he felt powerless.

“Yeah, when I became a chaotic saint, I tried to revive Xingci’s mother, but…” Wang Yulun sighed.

When a living being dies, their true spirit enters the River of Time. Over time, it merges into the chaotic River of Time.

Eventually, it flows into the ultimate source where the chaotic River of Time ends.

A saint can stir and reverse the River of Time.

A Holy Lord can reverse the chaotic River of Time.

But if that true spirit reaches the ultimate source, even a Holy Lord can’t reverse the chaotic River of Time to bring it back.

“It’s not just you. Xingci has also tried many things, but it was too late,” Xu Fan said, gazing at the Bear Two’s cloud in the sky.

“If we can’t find it in the River of Time, we’ll search the chaotic River of Time. If it’s not there, we’ll look where all the chaotic rivers converge.”

“As long as we keep growing stronger, we’ll make up for the lost time and regrets,” Wang Yulun said with determination.

“Your second brother told me the same thing. Keep going!” Xu Fan patted Wang Yulun on the shoulder.

“Thanks, Big Brother Xu. I’m going fishing to clear my head,” Wang Yulun said as he left.

Now, Xu Fan was alone in the courtyard.

“Grape, how are the new disciples doing? Any promising ones?”

Feeling a bit bored with rune study, Xu Fan asked about the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“This batch is average, with no standout talents.”

“But according to Grape’s calculations, they might show potential later,” Grape replied.

“Then let’s take our time raising them. No need to rush,” Xu Fan said, pulling out the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure that connects the entire Human Alliance.

He hadn’t used it much since he got it.

A light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, displaying 21 major news updates from the Primordial Chaos Zone, much like a news website from a previous life.

“Interesting,” Xu Fan remarked.

He started browsing through the news from one Chaotic Mist Area to another.

Finding it too tedious, he handed over the task to Grape, using the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.

“Grape, pull up any news that’s noteworthy or catches my interest,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood,” Grape replied.

Several light curtains appeared in front of Xu Fan.

“Outside the Chaotic Mist Area, a Holy Lord got incredibly lucky and obtained a top-tier Supreme Divine Artifact, which eventually helped his son become a powerful Holy Lord.”

“That’s some serious luck.”

“Holy Lord Lingyue, the most beautiful woman in the Human Alliance, turns out to be a lesbian. Wonder if she’s the dominant one or not.”

“The leader of the Human Alliance is said to have touched upon the Second Realm. Will the war start sooner?” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

Just then, a flash of white light appeared, and a small jade-white turtle landed on Xu Fan’s belly.

“Fierce White, you sleep way too much, and you’re getting bigger,” Xu Fan said, playfully rubbing Fierce White’s turtle shell.

Fierce White poked his head out, looked at Xu Fan, and affectionately nuzzled his chest, making Xu Fan laugh.

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a piece of fried Dragon Scale appeared in front of Fierce White.

Fierce White’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly started munching on the fried Dragon Scale.

While Xu Fan played with the turtle and read the news, his expression suddenly shifted, and his consciousness entered the Interstitial World.

Outside the spatial layer, a massive illusory giant beast was staring curiously at the world before it.

Xu Fan’s figure appeared outside the spatial layer, quietly observing the giant beast.

The giant beast and Xu Fan locked eyes.

“Causality, story,” the giant beast growled.

Xu Fan understood its meaning.

Immediately, Grape’s custom-made stories began flooding into the giant beast’s mind.

“I’ll trade stories for your knowledge,” Xu Fan said softly to the giant beast.

The octopus-like giant beast tilted its head, then brought its nearly transparent head closer to Xu Fan, signaling him to place his hand on it.

“I didn’t think there were any giant beasts in this layer,” Xu Fan said, placing his hand on the giant beast’s head.

In an instant, a torrent of information surged into Xu Fan’s mind.

The sheer volume was overwhelming, nearly too much for Xu Fan to handle.

“Grape, catch this in the database, quick!” Xu Fan shouted, transferring all the knowledge from the giant beast’s mind into Grape’s database.

This process went on for several days before Xu Fan finally absorbed all the knowledge from the giant beast’s mind.

The octopus, now filled with stories from Grape, happily waved a tentacle at Xu Fan and flew deeper into the spatial layers.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan began organizing the knowledge from the giant beast’s mind.

“In this infinitely vast Primordial Chaos Zone, I didn’t expect so many secrets to be hidden,” Xu Fan said, reviewing the information.

“If that’s the case, the Human Alliance’s plans might fall apart, and they could end up provoking a Second Realm Powerful Being.”

“But it’s not too late to act now.”

“Grape, find a way to spread this information throughout the Human Alliance,” Xu Fan ordered.

“Understood, Master,” Grape replied.

Xu Fan entered the Interstitial World.

At that moment, the entire world, fueled by Xu Fan’s abundant nourishment, was growing rapidly.

The human race within the world couldn’t keep up with the pace of expansion.

When they sensed Xu Fan’s presence, all the humans knelt and began chanting praises.

Xu Fan waved his hand, lifting them all to their feet.

“Grape, accelerate time throughout the world to help the human race develop faster,” Xu Fan decided after a moment’s thought.
