Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

According to Qin Chuan's current understanding of the Heavenly Stairway, it was impossible for these so-called natives to reach the Mythical Rank.

Moreover, the White Flood Dragon before him had already surpassed the limit of the First Realm of the Mythical Rank.

"Can the natives reach the Mythical Rank?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but speak up.

"Under normal circumstances, of course not," the voice of the White Flood Dragon echoed eerily in the cavern. "But if the clans ascending the Heavenly Stairway are willing, then it becomes possible."

A flash of realization passed through Qin Chuan's eyes.

He had understood the meaning behind the White Flood Dragon's words.

If the clans ascending the Heavenly Stairway were willing to provide resources to uplift the natives, it was naturally possible for the natives to reach levels of strength that they normally couldn't attain.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would do that.

Taking into account the White Flood Dragon's familiarity with the Immortal Clan, the answer was becoming clear.

"Did you receive help from some Immortal Monarch of the Immortal Clan?" Qin Chuan ventured cautiously.

"Eight Immortal Monarchs? No," the White Flood Dragon shook its head, "The Immortal Clan calls him Immortal King."

"...Immortal King?" Qin Chuan was surprised once again.

But this time, the White Flood Dragon did not continue.

"Kid, you've asked me so many questions; now it's my turn to ask you." It stared at Qin Chuan, its eyes showing a contemplative look. "What clan are you guys from? Why do you bear traces of the Reincarnation Immortal Monarch's power? What exactly happened to the Immortal Clan back then?"

"We are the Human Race, as for the power of the Reincarnation Immortal Monarch..." Qin Chuan briefly relayed the past that Qingyang Immortal Monarch had told them to the White Flood Dragon before him, "That's the situation."

"Manager..." Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, there wasn't much surprise on the White Flood Dragon's face, "That Immortal King fellow is very vengeful. I knew there was going to be trouble when the Manager met his end."

"No wonder Qingyang Immortal Monarch specifically came to find me back then, cast a spell to put me into a deep sleep, and said a bunch of inexplicable things..." The White Flood Dragon fell silent for a moment, "Human kid, you just mentioned that the Human Race just ascended the Heavenly Stairway, right?"

"Yes," Qin Chuan nodded.

"Where is the entrance? Has the Gatekeeper been appointed?"

"The entrance is in the White Flood Dragon Territory, and as for the Gatekeeper... we have already chosen a very reliable member of our own clan." Qin Chuan spoke with a smile, then suddenly seemed to think of something, and his smile slightly faded.

Was it just a coincidence that the entrance to the Heavenly Stairway of the Human Race appeared here?

"White Flood Dragon Territory? I thought it was the Ascension Territory... It seems that after my ten thousand years of deep sleep, this territory has been renamed and even related to me." The White Flood Dragon glanced at Qin Chuan, speaking in a tone that was neither salty nor bland, "The Immortal Clan's entrance used to be here too; it should be in the same location as yours."

"After all, you come from the same place."

"Was Predecessor in a deep sleep here?" Lin Yue looked at the White Flood Dragon in surprise.

"Arranged by Qingyang Immortal Monarch."

Both Qin Chuan and Lin Yue showed a look of realization, followed by gratitude for that already vanished figure.

It seemed the Immortal Clan had paved quite a few roads for the Human Race.

Qin Chuan's look towards the White Flood Dragon gained a trace of eagerness, "That... Predecessor White Flood Dragon..."

"My name is Bai Xi," the White Flood Dragon looked at Qin Chuan, its eyes carrying a hint of teasing, "Now you remember to call me Predecessor?"

Bai Xi cut off Qin Chuan with a tease, "Flattery aside, now that you've been in a deep sleep for ten thousand years, isn't it time for some exercise?"

"Not interested," Bai Xi huffed, "Ten thousand years without eating, I'm too hungry to move."

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged glances, tacitly beginning to take out item after item from their Item Equipment Bar.

With a nimble flick of its tail tip, Bai Xi scooped up one of the items into its open mouth.

A Golden Prop, a Life Source Crystal.

There was just a faint crunching sound, and the Source Crystal surging with life force was gone like that.

Bai Xi's momentum surged rapidly, climbing close to the threshold of the Second Realm, then finally stopped, its body, which had been somewhat stiff and not fully recovered from the ancient slumber, rapidly regained the agility and strength of its prime.

"I'm full," Bai Xi declared with pleasure, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I should say beforehand; the Immortal King did me a favor, but you are not part of the Immortal Clan."

"Understood, understood," Qin Chuan nodded repeatedly, "We don't need Predecessor's action at the moment; some time later, may we request Predecessor stay and guard our race's entrance to the channel?"

"We guarantee to offer resources that will satisfy Predecessor."

Bai Xi gave Qin Chuan a look that meant "you're quite astute, kid," and then flung its head.

A streak of white light shot out from its massive horn, embedding itself into the ground before Qin Chuan.

"That just now was a Life Source Crystal from the Crystal Clan, wasn't it?"

"I won't eat your food for free; I'm giving this to you."

The weapon was a long sword pulsing with bone-chilling ice energy, its blade etched with the pattern of a White Flood Dragon, and its powerful presence far surpassed any Golden-prop Qin Chuan had seen before.

[[Gold] White Jiao Slash: A Divine Beast, Bai Xi nurtured this sword for ten thousand years, imbued with the ultimate Ice Attribute chill, enhancing the wielder's attack by 300%, and Attribute Power by 300%]

This sword!!!

Qin Chuan's eyes widened.

Was this really just a Golden-prop?

The sheer potency of the White Jiao Slash could be seen by comparison to the Nether River Spear, also of Golden quality.

Nether River Spear, Attribute Control increased by 150%, Attribute Power increased by 100%.

The overall enhancement of the White Jiao Slash was triple that of the Nether River Spear.

"Back then, the Second Immortal Monarch of the Immortal Clan—the Tai Xuan Immortal Monarch came to me," Bai Xi's eyes held a trace of reminiscence, "He was the Immortal Monarch in charge of refining artifacts in the Immortal Clan, known as the number one Artifact Refiner across the Three Realms."

"At that time, this sword was still just a bare blade."

"He handed this sword to me, hoping I would nurture it for a hundred years, using my unique White Flood Dragon chill to upgrade it to Golden quality," Bai Xi looked at the White Jiao Slash, "But it had only been forty or fifty years into the agreed hundred years when the Immortal Clan encountered a catastrophe."
