Chapter 822: Chapter 822 – The Primogenitor’s Struggle (2)
Time slowly passed. Unknowingly, a thousand years quickly passed. To the Primogenitor World, a mere thousand years was actually nothing.
In the past, any bloodline noble above the Fourth Rank had a lifespan of at least several thousand years. Although a mere thousand years wasn’t considered short, it wasn’t too long of a long time either.
In the past, a thousand years would not have changed anything. No matter how many generations of mortals passed, the world remained the same. There were no changes.
However, in the current era, the situation is different. In the past thousand years, the world changed with each passing day. Almost every once in a while, new changes began to occur.
During this period, the number of mortals continued to grow. Now, they spread to every corner of the world. In the past, there were still many places without many traces of ordinary mortals. But now, they were everywhere.
The explosion of population led to the rapid development of various technologies. As the population grew, the land in many places began to be restricted. The contradiction between the people and the land began to become sharp.
Different from the era when the land was wide, and the people were sparse, the continuous appearance of extraordinary beings improved the commoners’ status in this era. The commoners had a good environment for rapid reproduction.
Therefore, in a short span of a thousand years, the land that used to be exceptionally rich began to become crowded, and all kinds of contradictions began to stand out.
And the result of the accumulation of contradictions, to a certain extent, was war. In the past thousand years, one war after another broke out on this land, causing the former noble to be dumbstruck.
This world had never broken out into such frequent wars in the past. In the past, the wars were between the noble and the noble, and the reason was often because of disputes between the noble.
But even so, the wars that broke out were still relatively small to a certain extent. Moreover, they often stopped before things went out of hand. It was rare for them to directly destroy a family, let alone the inheritance of a kingdom.
Therefore, in the past era, each kingdom had a long history. Some even had a long history of more than ten thousand years.
But now, the situation is very different. Although extraordinary beings mainly fought the current war, its impetus was sometimes not what the noble wanted but sharp contradictions.
......
Now, in this land, there were even revolts by the commoners. However, these so-called commoners’ revolts had nothing to do with the leadership and the civilians in a world with extraordinary beings. Yet, it did not stop the civilians from rioting against the noble.
In just a thousand years, wars broke out one after another. The frequency and speed of these wars were shocking, and it felt strange. However, the frequent wars also led to the continuous intensification of technological change.
War was not a good thing, but sometimes it was necessary. It eliminated the old and the weak, spreading the good and finally pushing the entire civilization forward. This was how it was in a normal world.
And in this extraordinary world, the participation of extraordinary individuals was also indispensable in these wars. Thus, in these wars, powerful, extraordinary individuals began to emerge.
First, there was the continuous emergence of Fifth Rank extraordinary beings, followed by Sixth and even Seventh Rank.
Yes, there were Seventh Rank extraordinary beings in the current era. That person was none other than Chris.
After that battle with Jameson, he established his position and accelerated his research in the subsequent era, breaking through himself. He was in a competitive position with Jameson, far ahead.
When they were at the Fifth Rank, their growth rate was not much different, and they were both at the same level. Jameson was behind when they reached the Sixth Rank, but he could still barely catch up.
It was not until Chris broke through the isolation and found the way to advance to the Seventh Rank that he left Jameson far behind and became the strongest person in the world in the name.
In this world, the older generation of bloodline warriors had disappeared, and the first king of the Violet Empire had retired. Although the second king of the Violet Empire was powerful, he was only in Sixth Rank and had not reached the peak of the rank yet.
Within the Cardo Empire, the Church of the God of Shadows still covered that area, maintaining its ruling ideal and never interfering with the outside world. However, within the region within its capabilities, Chris was the strongest.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Chris.
A thousand years had passed, and Chris’ current status was just like Jameson’s back then, the number one person in this world. However, it was a pity that, at this time, there was not a single Seventh Rank powerhouse in the world to stop Chris’ actions.
To put it bluntly, if Chris was willing, he could subdue most of the factions without expending much effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Chris didn’t do so. Instead, he quietly stayed and recuperated in his kingdom.
This action caused everyone to heave a sigh of relief. But, just like Jameson and the others, as they heaved a sigh of relief, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency. They continued to speed up their research, hoping to reach that level as soon as possible.
Only by standing on the same level could they be able to protect themselves. Because of this, Jameson and the others had enough motivation to move forward and not be as silent as before.
After all, only when there was pressure would there be motivation. People placed their hopes on their bloodlines in the past, but now, it was up to them.
This was a very obvious change. As for Chris, he naturally didn’t have the idea of unifying this world.
He was once a primogenitor, a divine existence. No matter what, his goal should be getting back to the divine level. What benefits could unifying this Primogenitor World have?
Of course, if he could unify this world, Chris wouldn’t mind trying. But the problem was that he couldn’t do it. Others might not know how the behind-the-scenes of the Primogenitor World work, but how could Chris himself not know?
Putting aside other places and Chen Heng, who was secretly observing, Chris couldn’t even deal with the Violet Empire and the Cardo Empire.
Although Chen Heng, as the ruler of this world, wouldn’t take the initiative to make a move within the Violet Empire, his former followers still existed. Aimer, Grissom, Charlie, and the others were all still within the Violet Empire. Furthermore, their strength was not the slightest bit inferior.
This place had gathered the last essence of the past era. But furthermore, it had not lost its power.
As for the Cardo Empire, it was the Divine Kingdom of the God of Shadows. The power within it was similarly terrifying. It was still fine when Chris was at his peak, but now, he could not afford to provoke them.
Other than that, there were many other places in the world where hidden powers lurked, and there were still some remnants of past primogenitors. These were all fatal things.
.
Rather than expending so much effort to unify the entire world, Chris might as well focus on himself and try to break through to a higher level as much as possible.
With this thought in mind, Chris didn’t do much. Instead, he remained silent and tried to ascend to a higher level.
His actions were correct to a certain extent. Because for a divine reincarnation, as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to deduce the path ahead sooner or later. He would only encounter obstacles until he reached the divine level.
Boom!
Five hundred years later, a powerful aura erupted from this place. That aura was so powerful that it affected the entire Primogenitor World. Anyone powerful enough could sense it and feel terrified.
“That’s...”
Jameson felt the aura coming from afar and was terrified.
“The aura was not inferior to the past me...”
As he carefully felt the aura coming from Chris, he sighed in his heart, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.
After advancing to Seventh Rank for five hundred years, Chris’s strength had finally increased again. But, at this moment, he had already reached a critical point.
It would be the peak of the Seventh Rank if converted to a simple and easy-to-understand calculation method. In the past, it was a level that only the kings of the three great empires had. In the past, Jameson was also at this level.
He could not help but feel a little complicated when he thought of this. In just over a thousand years, the speed of the world’s development was too fast.
Although Jameson had long understood that this day would come sooner or later, when this day came, he could not help but sigh and was speechless.
At this moment, Chris was not inferior to Jameson at all. Moreover, in terms of combat strength, he might be even higher. And he had already reached the peak of the Seventh Rank. Would the Eighth Rank still be far away? And could Chris still go for a higher level after the Eighth Rank?
Jameson’s mood could not help but fluctuate thinking of this, and he began to get excited. He couldn’t wait to see a higher-level figure appear to a certain extent because this was once his dream.
No, perhaps it wasn’t just Jameson’s dream, but the dream of every bloodline noble. It had only been a thousand years since then. Although this period wasn’t short, there were still many old people who had survived.
For this group of people who had a powerful bloodline but remained at the current level, unable to advance further, a higher level was something they had dreamed of. And now, it seemed that someone was finally going to reach this step.
More than half of the world was looking at Chris. People were discussing, and their minds were filled with excitement as if they wanted to know how far this genius-like powerhouse would go in the future.
And Chris did not disappoint. Another five hundred years had passed, and the continent was again in turmoil.
In this current era, the older generations like Jameson had successively advanced to the Seventh Rank, reaching a higher level. They worked hard to advance, fighting along the path that Chris had walked once before. And on this basis, Chris advanced again.
At a certain moment, the vigorous eruption of Qi Blood seemed to cover the sky. People could only see the phantom image of a knight appearing on the continent.
He stood there, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and fiercely slashed forward.
Slash...
It was only a single sword, but the power was shocking. Whether it was light or anything else, it was all cut off.
The earth began to grow dim. Then, finally, darkness enveloped the world, and it took a long time for it to recover. Yet, that powerful and suffocating aura remained. Everyone in this world clearly felt it, and they felt terrified.
All signs indicated that Chris had succeeded once again, breaking the limits of the past and advancing to a higher level.
The Eighth Rank!
If converted to the past, the Eighth Rank was the Cathedral level. Even in the history of the bloodline noble, only the Ancient Kings had this level of strength.
And in the modern era where the bloodline had withered, there were no powerhouses of this level. So, to a certain extent, the past Saint Child experiments of the King’s Assembly had a very simple purpose. It was just to create powerhouses of this level.
And now, Chris did not rely on his bloodline or anything else. He relied only on his hard work to advance successfully, reaching the level he was at now. When the news spread, the entire transcendental realm could not help but be moved. There was a commotion everywhere.
People like Jameson could not help but sigh. The emotions in their hearts were extremely complicated. They did not know what to say. However, no matter how they felt, it did not matter at this moment.
Some people already had some despair in their hearts. Chris was a little too terrifying, like a monster for most people. They were trying their best to catch up, but the gap was getting bigger and bigger.
This situation made many people unable to muster up the courage to chase, and they were deeply struck.
Of course, not everyone was like this. A few people, such as Jameson, were still fighting and ready to pursue him. But, even if they couldn’t catch up with Chris in their lifetime, they would be right as long as they gained something.
Moreover, Chris’s existence wasn’t a big disadvantage for Jameson and the others. He not only gave them goals but also led them by example, letting them understand that there was still a path ahead.
All these years, it was precise because of Chris’ existence that the extraordinary world could transform quickly.
Time continued to pass. After advancing to the Eighth Rank, Chris did not make any movements for a long period. It was not until nearly two thousand years later that he began to make any movements.
A powerful aura soared into the sky, and his strength again sublimated. Chris was already close to the peak of the Eighth Rank. But, from the looks of it, he was not far from the Ninth Rank.
And now, people like Jameson had just barely reached the Seventh Rank. Before they reached the Eighth Rank, there was still a long way to go.
The gap between the two sides was already growing larger and larger. And over time, the gap would not only not shrink, but it would also continue to grow.
