Qingdai had not anticipated that Chen Yu, who seed utterly inconspicuous and just an ordinary person, would actually be even more formidable than the person she called Grandfather, nor could she have imagined that Jounouchi Hiromi, who in her eyes was rely a woman of fading beauty relying on her relationship with Chen Yu for her position, would turn out to be an even more terrifying existence than Chen Yu.
This truly filled Qingdai with imnse surprise and shock. The man she called Grandfather had lived nearly two hundred years and had just barely reached the threshold of the Legendary, and because of past events, he couldn't progress any further. But how old was Chen Yu? He was already a Transcendent on par with the Legendary? How could Qingdai believe that Jounouchi Hiromi, whom she saw every day and had even offended several tis, could be even more powerful than Chen Yu!
After all, that was the Legendary, a realm that the person she called Grandfather spent two hundred years to approach, enduring unimaginable pain and paying a horrifying price without ever being able to step through its gate. It was the highest realm that a Transcendent of the Human World could achieve in this Age of Dharma Decline!
In the ancient era when mythology flourished, perhaps there were those who could break through the Legendary to ascend to even greater heights and beco deities. But in the modern society, where the mystical is hidden and technology thrives, becoming a Legendary is already extraordinarily difficult, let alone surpassing it.
Ordinary people might find it hard to know about the Legendary, but Qingdai, due to her own experiences and the deliberate cultivation by the man she called Grandfather, knew quite a bit about the matter.
In this current era, although there are still Legendary individuals alive, due to the two world wars that affected history, the high-end Supernatural powers of all nations suffered great losses. During World War I, the British Empire that once ruled the vast waves, along with European powerhouses like France and Deutschland, incurred trendous losses. This allowed the red Giant that took an alternative path to rise.
So Transcendents who avoided the chaos of war and were unwilling to throw themselves into that at grinder of a battlefield fled to the United States of Arica, allowing this nation, which originally had so Supernatural heritage only because of the massacre of Indians and the reception of Supernatural criminals exiled by European countries, to acquire its own Supernatural Power and begin its gradual ascent.
As for Deutschland during the second world war, it must be said that there was a reason for the historical record of the Führer's obsession with mystical forces. It was precisely because of his tireless pursuit of mystical forces that his steel lion was able to trample the whole of Europe and stand without equal, with even the red Giant only able to keep them at bay from the capital by countless sacrifices.
These two wars almost completely depleted Europa's Supernatural foundation, and even after more than half a century, Europe has not quite recovered its vitality. The current Legendary powers largely co from the old Immortals who survived before the wars, similar to the situation of the man Qingdai called Grandfather. However, the others are true Legends, living three to five hundred years, whereas her Grandfather sustained his life through a bloody, cruel, and venomous thod.
Not every country is in such a state, though. The United States of Arica, which gained a lot from both world wars, capitalized on the opportunities to obtain substantial war dividends. As a result, the nation's Supernatural forces significantly increased, acquiring a number of Legendary figures and might that could compare with the old powers. Though the ranks included many figures in na only and the mixture was diverse, it must be acknowledged that the sheer number of dozens of Legends could now compete with all existing Legends of Europa.
And that was why the United States of Arica was able to drag the red Giant down through the Cold War after World War II, because before the fall of that Giant, its Supernatural forces had already been thoroughly crushed by the United States of Arica.
Of course, aside from the United States of Arica, the truly powerful land was the ancient soil known as Shen Zhou, lying across the sea from Japan.
Its incomparably long history and unbroken civilization provided this nation with a supernatural foundation far surpassing any other country in the world. Although it was severely affected by being ruled by barbarians in its modern history, and the Legendary Warriors who survived from the Ming Dynasty refused to fight for these invaders, resulting in an invasion by the British Empire, then the world's foremost superpower, in alliance with Europa. Subsequently, it fell into civil unrest and fierce battles, which drained a vast amount of its Supernatural Power.
Nevertheless, when Japan, taking advantage of World War II, invaded that land with the full might of the nation united with Shinto, they were still nearly annihilated. Not only were many Legendary Warriors killed by the Transcendent beings of the Celestial Empire, but many deities also fell. After all, in terms of historical depth, even the mountain and river gods of the Land of the Divine were imnsely formidable entities.
And that country, from the ruins, was reborn like a phoenix and flourished once again. A host of new Legendary powers were born out of the war, endowing the country with enough strength to stand against the increasingly overbearing United States of Arica without groveling as Japan did, depleted of national power.
However, even on the vast expanses of Shen Zhou, a young Legend like Chen Yu was rare, even though he had not yet broken through and was rely a Sub-Legendary standing at the threshold of Legend.
A Sub-Legendary at rely thirty years old—what an astonishing prodigy! It could even be said with near certainty that his breakthrough into Legend was a foregone conclusion, practically set in stone. It was possible that, barring any accidents, Chen Yu would absolutely break through into Legend before the age of fifty, and even before the end of his lifespan, the feat of reliving the mythical era might be within his reach!
No wonder he was able to produce so many dical research results capable of changing the world. For a Sub-Legendary engaged in dical research, these things were indeed insignificant.
"Perhaps we can use his power to free ourselves from grandfather's control and obtain what we have always dread of," Qingdai said, her face alight with irrepressible excitent and agitation as she looked at her naked body in the mirror, her skin rivaling snow in its whiteness, flushing a rosy hue from her excitent.
Yet in the middle of this alluring scene, Qingdai speaking to the mirror was quite peculiar.
"Perhaps we can, but a newly risen Sub-Legendary may not necessarily be able to handle the old man," was the even more peculiar reply from Qingdai in the mirror, with a voice that seed to co from Qingdai's own mouth, but sounded sowhat masculine.
"Don't worry, if that girl Nanao didn't lie to us, aside from Professor Chen Yu, his girlfriend Doctor Jounouchi, and the three leaders of the Mingyue Society, all of these will be our support," replied Qingdai in her original voice, her eyes shining with an indescribable luster as if a fla was burning. "Nanao ntioned that Doctor Jounouchi was an ordinary person before the New Year, but after the New Year, she gained trendous power. Don't you find that interesting?"
