Jared gave a faint smile, not blaming the holy maidens. He knew that after this instance, they would no
longer doubt him.
“Get some rest, we’re setting off tomorrow. All I can do is try my best to protect you. However, the polar
region is treacherous, and no one knows what could happen. So, in the end, it’s still up to you. The
future development of Lunarius Palace also depends on you,” Jared said to the holy maidens.
“Thank you for the advice, Mr. Chance.”
With that, Bianca led the holy maidens to rest.
“I noticed you were daydreaming just now. What were you thinking about?” Nieva inquired after the
holy maidens were gone.
Upon hearing Nieva’s question, Jared’s face instantly flushed red. Had I been caught sneaking glances
at just now?
“I was… was gazing at the moon, thinking. The cycle of human life is all due to the passage of time.
Yet, we find it hard to physically see this flow, given that it takes several decades for a person to
transition from birth to death. For us cultivators, the concept of time becomes even more elusive. Living
for hundreds of years comes easily, and even after a century, our appearance might not change at all.
But as I was staring at the moonlight just now, I could distinctly feel its flow because the position of the
moonlight was shifting with every second, and this change in the moonlight is the very movement of
time itself. Even though I understood the logic, grasping time nascence still proved to be quite a
challenge,” Jared said with a slight frown.
“You’re merely a Tribulator, yet you aspire to comprehend time nascence. You must be out of your
mind. However, the fact that you can articulate these thoughts shows that you have indeed started to
gain a basic understanding of it.”Upon hearing Jared’s words, Nieva was somewhat taken aback. Jared was merely a Tribulator, yet he
had already begun thinking about the nature of time nascence.
Upon hearing Nieva’s words, Jared asked, “Ms. Nieva, have… have you comprehended time
nascence?”
If Nieva had grasped time nascence, Jared could definitely learn from her. It would certainly be better
than thinking aimlessly about it on his own.
Nieva chuckled, shaking her head hastily. “I’ve only grasped frost nascence and not any other
elements, especially when it comes to time nascence. Understanding it is not like the other nascences.
It demands one to experience life and death and have a true appreciation of the cycle of life. Only then
can one truly comprehend time nascence.”
“Life and death? The cycle of life?”
Jared fell into deep thought. Nieva’s words were somewhat profound, and for a moment, he found them
hard to comprehend.
“Alright, stop dwelling on these things. Once you’ve gained more experience and elevated your
cultivation level, you’ll naturally comprehend it. We’re leaving tomorrow, so make sure you get some
rest. Also, be wary of the Mueller family, they might try something against you,” Nieva cautioned Jared.
“Alright, I’ll be careful.” Jared gave a nod.
Nieva turned and left, while Jared was still pondering over her words.
“Kid, you appear experienced, yet are still a fool. If you truly want to comprehend time nascence, you
must genuinely understand life and death. The cycle of life and death is essentially the passage of
time. Life and death are the outcome, while time sets the rules!”At this moment, Vermilion Demon Lord spoke out.
“The outcome? The rules?”
A glimmer of light suddenly burst forth from the depths of Jared’s vacant eyes, as if a ray of sunshine
had pierced through the thick fog.
novelbinIt seemed as though Jared had an epiphany.
True to being a level nice cultivator, Vermilion Demon Lord illuminated Jared’s mind with just a single
sentence.
The shifting position of the moonlight is the outcome, while time is the governing principle. The shift of
the four seasons throughout the year is the outcome, while time is the rule. Life and death are the
outcomes, while time sets the rules. Time is reflected in every object, each yielding unique results, yet
all adhere to the laws of time!
“Mr. Vermilion, thank you…”
Jared suddenly broke into a wide smile.
