Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"No matter what, we gave them a chance."

-----------------

"If it's just hypnosis, that can be done."

A Mythical Rank from the Moon Spirit Clan in Red Rock City looked at the two people, pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

This made Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchange glances, unable to help but reveal surprised expressions.

This Mythical Rank Moon Spirit called Delarn was unexpectedly easy to talk to.

"Don't be so surprised," Delarn smiled, "the Ancestor of our clan has informed us to maintain friendly relations with the Human Race."

"Besides, I'm probably not a match for the two of you anyway," Delarn spread his hands helplessly, "I guess, if I didn't agree, you two were about to take action, right?"

"Indeed," Qin Chuan said with a light laugh, nodding his head.

Since the other party was speaking candidly, he didn't mind speaking frankly either.

Furthermore...

The friendliness exhibited by the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit towards the Human Race had also surprised him.

Logically, the Human Race had already successfully ascended to the Heavenly Dome Rank, and the attitude of the Moon Spirit Clan towards the Human Race should have changed accordingly.

If it doesn't make sense, then it's better not to think about it for now.

At this stage, the Human Race indeed needs an ally or two.

"Looking at the expressions on the two of you just now, it seems I am the first to agree, so... how many clans have you asked?" Delarn's eyes shone with a bit of schadenfreude.

"Half-demons, Dwarf Demons, Dragon Clan." Lin Yue smiled from the side.

"Quite good," Delarn's smile grew a bit thicker, seeming to be in a very good mood because of the deaths of three old rivals, "The Crystal Clan's Pamel should agree too, he's a wise and calm fellow."

"As for the Dead Ghost Clan, they're likely to refuse."

"I'm off then, my other clansmen will cooperate with you two," Delarn said, before soaring into the sky and heading straight for the outskirts of the city.

Quite decisive, he seemed completely unconcerned about the two people causing harm to his clan.

"The Moon Spirit Clan, indeed interesting," Qin Chuan muttered as he watched the other party's departing figure, "I'm actually quite looking forward to meeting the Ancestor of the Moon Spirit myself after ascending to the Third Rank."

"Let's go, let's continue to visit the remaining two Mythical Ranks." Lin Yue took Qin Chuan's hand.

Just as Delarn predicted, the Crystal Clan's Mythical Rank agreed to their request, and the Dead Ghost Clan's Mythical Rank angrily refused without hesitation.

So, Qin Chuan had to use Time Stop skill to deliver a humane destruction to the latter.

With Qin Chuan's current strength, a typical Mythical Rank from the First Realm actually didn't require the Time Stop, but to avoid alarming other creatures, some expenditure was necessary.

The previously mentioned three clans were dealt with in the same way.

Once all the Mythical Ranks were dealt with, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue began to wander within Red Rock City, an invisible force emanating from Lin Yue, putting all creatures in the nearby area to Deep Sleep.

When the entire Red Rock City had completely quieted down, Lin Yue's energy was nearly depleted.

Without hesitation, Lin Yue summoned Small White to take her place in the coordination instead of other Spiritual Beasts.

"Yah—"

Small White let out an excited low groan, feeling the dream power that had intensified within the city as a hundred thousand creatures fell asleep, and without hesitation, it soared into the sky.

As its massive body twisted in the void, invisible forces solidified and rapidly converged towards it.

"Rest well, leave the rest to me."

Qin Chuan patted Lin Yue's head, then ascended into the sky, flying not far beside Small White, his gaze fixed on Red Rock City below.

Any creature that woke up mid-process would be knocked out or eradicated by him immediately to avoid disrupting the Ritual.

Unlike Xuegao, Small White's Evolution Ceremony did not last too long.

Soon, with a glow even more dazzling than the sun, Mythical Rank Small White completed the final Breakthrough, its form even cooler than before.

Compared to its past, Small White's body was now adorned with a lot of gold Armor ornamenting crucial points, and its body had grown even bigger; being a thousand meters long in its original form, using the word "dragon" to describe it at that moment was perfectly fitting.

Without lingering, Qin Chuan took Lin Yue on the back of Xiao Bai and swiftly left Red Rock City before the creatures within fully awoke.

Shortly after they had left the city, the creatures inside slowly came to their senses, their eyes clouded with confusion, oblivious to the events that had just happened.

The Mythical Rank beings of the Moon Spirit Clan and Crystal Clan had not traveled far. Once Qin Chuan and Lin Yue had left, they quickly returned and started organizing the remaining members of their clans methodically, beginning the harvesting of the other four clans.

Without Mythical Rank beings, the other four clans would be unable to contend with the Moon Spirit and Crystal Clan in the short term, and the order of the entire Red Rock Territory would be reshuffled.

And this was no longer Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's concern.

After leaving Red Rock City, the two headed straight for Red Rock Mountain.

Soon, a mountain peak thousands of meters high, covered with crimson rocks and devoid of any grass, loomed before them.

Once Xiao Bai had landed, it vanished in a flash, returning to reality. Lin Yue, having regained her strength, switched back to Xiao Bai, her face lighting up with a smile as she felt the powerful strength from its evolution.

"With this boost, my strength should be enough to face most opponents in the First Realm."

"This is just the beginning. Once all the Spiritual Beasts have evolved to the Mythical Rank, even if an opponent from the Second Rank shows up, we'll be able to put up a fight," Qin Chuan said with a smile, transforming into Rock.

Waves of earthy yellow energy rippled out from under his feet, quickly enveloping the entire Red Rock Mountain.

Moon·Earthquake Wave.

This detection skill was just right for use at this moment.

Soon, Qin Chuan's gaze turned towards a certain direction halfway up the mountain, a hint of surprise and amazement in his eyes.

"It's over there."

In a flash, they disappeared from their spot and quickly came to a halt at the entrance of a huge cave halfway up the mountain.

"We need to be cautious," Qin Chuan inhaled deeply, his expression turning serious, "The inside of the cave blocks the Earthquake Wave's detection. I can only sense roughly that the depth of this cave exceeds ten thousand meters."

"Okay," Lin Yue's expression also grew serious as she followed Qin Chuan into the cave. At that instant, her mind stirred, and an image of her surrounded by seven Cross Stars appeared.

It was Xiao Jin.

As soon as the Light Attribute creature appeared, it illuminated the pitch-black cave, allowing Qin Chuan and Lin Yue to easily see the surroundings inside the cave.

Initially, the inside of the cave was very similar to the outside, with crimson rock everywhere you looked—on the walls, ceiling, and floor—as if the entire Red Rock Mountain was made of these red rocks from the inside out.

However, as they ventured deeper, the interior of the cave began to silently change.

Beneath their feet, the disordered rocks turned into stone stairs with clear signs of being cut, and all sorts of stone reliefs began to appear on the walls and ceiling.

But all that was in ruins.

The stone stairs were full of cracks, and the reliefs bore significant chipping damage, with hardly any complete part visible, just fragmented rocks scattered on the steps.

Furthermore, on these shattered stones, clear black stains could be seen, as if they were remnants of blood from a thousand years ago.

"The rocks here seem redder than before," Lin Yue observed the surroundings in a soft voice, "It's just a shame that the reliefs are destroyed; there's no clue to be found."

Qin Chuan looked into the darkness ahead.

By this point, they had ventured thousands of meters into the cave, yet they still could not determine how deep it actually was.

It seemed like an endless rocky corridor, leading to a land of mystery unknown.

"So far, the areas we have traversed are easily accessible by other clans," Qin Chuan said softly, "Such places are unlikely to yield many significant findings."

"And Insight's second Talent pointed us here, which means there's something here that could be of help to us."

"That means…"

"There's danger ahead," Lin Yue whispered, completing Qin Chuan's thought.

If there were no danger, the contents of this cave would have been thoroughly explored by countless beings over a thousand years, and it wouldn't be their turn to do so.

"Exactly," Qin Chuan smiled.

"Let's be careful as we continue down."

He was curious to see what secrets lay buried here.
