Chapter 4533: Rebuilding Space Time Passages
Lin Moyu was, after all, the master; when he got serious, the Primal Gem grew more obedient.
But the Primal Gem struggled, its little face twisting up before finally admitting hesitantly, "I can help you better control the Calamity Scepter and fully unleash its power."
"But that depends on your level of power. If your power isn't enough, you can't activate the Scepter's full strength.
"Part of my own ability is also sealed, requiring some special conditions to unseal."
Finally, it started talking sense Lin Moyu knew if he set proper rules, the Primal Gem would behave, at least around him, if not always in general.
He pressed further, "What strength must I reach to truly use the Calamity Scepter's full power, and what special conditions can unseal your ability?"
The Primal Gem replied, "It's not about rank, it's about pure power. If you had to measure it with realms, you'd need to be at least a Supreme to activate some of the Scepter's power.
"To release its entire power, you must surpass the Supreme on the level of pure strength."
"As for unsealing my ability, I'm not clear on what exact conditions are needed; you'll have to discover them for yourself but they likely relate to strength as well.
It comes down to power: not just level, but raw strength both physical and spiritual.
These two forms of power are the purest, not relying on any Dao, any heaven or earth just yourself.
Rank means little in the face of true power.
For example, with just minor attainment in the Chaos Rank, Lin Moyu could finish off full Chaos Rank experts and suppress ordinary perfected powerhouses.
That's the power of pure strength, and after his rebirth, he had broken through to a new level of direct strength.
This new level not only made him mighty it had also triggered changes deep within the Ancient Wilderness, transforming his storage space into another heaven.
"Alright, got it. Go rest for now; I'll call if I need you," Lin Moyu said.
With a swish, the Primal Gem retreated. It seemed a bit upset, as though Lin Moyu's will had stifled its pride.
That was just what Lin Moyu wanted to make clear who the real master was.
"How's it going, Little Tree?"
Little Tree was still busy, with tens of thousands of roots probing the void, digging out each remnant left by the old space time passages.
A sweep across the area revealed sixty eight traces in total, scattered like stars across the void.
Sixty eight meant sixty eight supremes; the actual number was surely greater, but only these left marks behind.
Little Tree said, "Almost there just need one more step to see if I can rebuild a passage."
Professional matters belonged to professionals, so Lin Moyu didn't interfere.
"You all heard what was said if you want to go, decide for yourselves."
He hadn't kept the conversation with the Primal Gem secret from Little Tree; they'd all listened together.
Little Tree said, "I don't know if I should go, but I have a feeling I need to."
Chaos Spirit added, "I want to go, too. That's heaven and earth no matter if it's just a corpse, there's always some good stuff!"
This grasping nature suited Chaos Spirit perfectly.
Ultimately, the choice was Lin Moyu's; the others only advised.
After a moment's thought, he said, "If a passage can be rebuilt, let's check another heaven and earth. Maybe there really is something to gain."
"But before going, Little Tree, explore as much as you can to assess the danger."
"Will do," said Little Tree.
Suddenly bang! a trace of space time passage broke, turning to dust and disappearing.
This meant Little Tree had failed to restore that channel; perhaps it was just too ancient, or perhaps the other side had changed.
These marks were so old, older than the chaos wilderness itself; Little Tree could only attempt them with extreme caution.
He searched for paths, then tried to rebuild them, but success wasn't guaranteed.
Bang, bang traces kept breaking, one after another, all failing.
Soon, over half were lost, all attempts in vain.
Little Tree didn't get discouraged; he was steady, calmly continuing his efforts.
Lin Moyu watched quietly, barely able to follow the flow of space time energy at this level.
The traces kept vanishing; soon fewer than twenty remained.
At last, one gave off a faint glow a space time channel successfully rebuilt.
"Finally, one worked."
Lin Moyu felt some joy; even one justified the effort.
The success gave Little Tree confidence; he kept at it, though no other remnants succeeded until the very last, which worked too.
So out of sixty eight ancient traces, only two passages were restored.
It seemed a small number, but Lin Moyu was satisfied; with such ancient things, only Little Tree could manage even this.
With the passages rebuilt, it was time for exploration. Little Tree's roots became his eyes, tracing along the channels to their ends another job only he could do.
The two channels were not the same one large, one small. The small entrance was round, about five meters in diameter; the larger was irregular, with the broadest part over a hundred meters wide.
The channel shapes reflected what had once come through, and Little Tree hadn't altered them, so the entering beings' sizes had varied.
"I'm in!" Little Tree suddenly announced.
His roots reached the ends of both channels, entering the remains of two heavens and earth.
He grunted a mass of roots retracted from the round channel, their ends cleanly severed as if by a sharp blade.
Given Little Tree's current strength, only a perfected powerhouse with a sharp treasure could normally cut his roots.
"Did you encounter a living being?" Lin Moyu asked.
Little Tree shook his head. "I can't be sure I saw no living things, just got cut as soon as I probed in."
Chaos Spirit asked, "No other information?"
Little Tree shook his head again. "No. It was too brief. I'll try again."
He tried several more times each time, roots were cut instantly.
It didn't much affect Little Tree just hurt a bit but he persisted, probing with different angles and rhythms.
Finally, he learned something.
"The rules there differ from chaos. Once I entered, my power was fully suppressed, my very being altered."
"It's not sharpness on the other side I became weaker there. And I still never saw anything alive, so I don't think the cut came from a living thing."
"That place is dangerous extremely dangerous."
Little Tree described everything he sensed for Lin Moyu's reference.
Compared to the dangerous circular passage, the large, irregular channel seemed fine Little Tree had transmitted an image of it back.
