"You're guess is right…" Geezer chuckled as soon as Raven ca into conclusion. "I want to raise soone who will fulfill this dream of mine."
It is precisely as what Raven thought. Such a thing is sothing that he didn't find weird, however it he's being honest, this task is a little too hard to accomplish.
"Relax kid." Geezer softly called, "I know how hard this task is, and naturally I'm not forcing you to it. At the very least, I want you to try."
"Well, a little too late for that." Raven smiled wryly, "Aren't I already committed?"
Geezer sighed and said: "I know. And to be quite honest, that's entirely on ."
"It's fine." Raven laughed, "I similarly had plans on traversing this path anyway. If I follow the orthodox paths, I'm afraid I won't have a chance."
"Uh, that's the thing…" Geezer's facial expression was blanched. "About this path of yours…It's actually uh…incomplete…"
Raven's mouth widened upon hearing this from him. He stared at the embarrassed expression on Geezer's face and could feel his mood darkening.
He couldn't believe it. He was conned by this fellow! And here he thought this guy was a super-aweso expert who naturally disdains to play tricks with juniors yet he t just the right guy. Oh terrible his luck must've been!
"Oi brat! That's too much! I am naturally a super-aweso expert that disdains to play tricks with juniors! I'm not a con artist! If you want to bla soone, then bla it on fate!"
Shaless, this old No Eyes fellow is too shaless! Bla fate? How could he bla fate? As if fate would give two shits about this grievance! He was the one who created this crown, he was the one who summoned him here and forced into this incomplete path! How could fate be blad on this!?
"Aish you brat!" Geezer was incensed, "How about letting explain first huh?"
Raven forcefully cald down his troubled heart, but his face was still dark. He could feel the respect and awe on his heart gradually slipping away as he looked at him.
Geezer coughed repeatedly and said: "I didn't an to con you."
"Yet you did."
"Let finish damn it!" Old Man Geezer coughed once again, forcefully trying to erase the embarrassed expression on his face. "Like I said, I wasn't planning on conning you."
"Believe damn it!" He yelled once again after seeing Raven's unconvinced face. "Listen to ."
"Like I said, I want to raise soone who will achieve the realm beyond Divinity for . Which in turn caused to do so research. This research then led to the creation of Cosmic Energy which I was banking on to transform into a true Origin Energy."
"I abduct-ahem, invited so people to try cultivating Cosmic Energy. I search for multiple thods and with nurous experints, I eventually discovered the proper way to cultivate it."
"My success made feel rather proud, initially I only needed a bit more ti and I'll eventually succeed in making a unique cultivation path which may lead towards discovering Origin Energy. Unfortunately, disaster struck."
"One of my discarded experints was found by those maddened Divinities. Seeing how Cosmic Energy closely resembles Origin Energy, they hunted down and forced to hand over my research."
"Of course, since I could understand their dilemma and obsession, I naturally shared it. I originally wanted to succeed first then tell them later, causing them to owe a favor, unfortunately it didn't go as planned."
Geezer's face beca twisted as he hatefully spat: "Those selfish bastards! I whole-heartedly handed over my research to them and told them everything I knew, even explaining how I still needed ti to complete my research! Yet instead of helping with my research, they actually suspected of hiding more things from them! So of them even got into the conclusion that I already knew the thod of breaking through and I was just keeping it from them!"
"Their greed knows no bounds! I poured my blood sweat and tears with this fucking research so that it'll bore fruit while them on the other hand, sat on their balls and twiddled their thumbs! I was generous enough to share the results to them yet they still had the gall to get angry and even suspect !? What kind of concept was that?"
Seeing Old Man Geezer's twisted expression caused Raven to sigh in pity.
"They hunted down like a degenerate. I tried asking my friend for help yet they either turned on or ignore my pleas since they didn't want to entangle themselves with this ss. I am rather powerful and manage to take down so who chased , yet their numbers just keeps on increasing. Their mad! Mad I tell you! Their obsession runs too deep!"
Geezer sighed and dejectedly slumped over. "In the end, I manage to escape but I am badly injured. I am rather confident that they won't pursue up until wherever I currently am. But at the sa ti, I am in a constant danger. I need to stay alert all the ti, so I don't have ti to sit down and finish the Book of Chaos."
"I only manage to create up until the second chapter, which is enough for you reach the Immortal Knight Emperor Realm. As for the third chapter, I'm sorry but I haven't even started it. Everyday, my life is in a constant danger. I just don't have ti to be relaxed."
Raven let out a long sigh, feeling a great headache looming over him.
"Let guess." Raven massaged his temples, "The previous inheritors also tried their best to finish your work?"
Geezer let out a lanting sigh, which was enough to confirm Raven's suspicious.
"I never forced anyone in this path." Geezer said in a guilty voice, "I have given them a choice before, if they truly didn't want to then I could reconstruct their bodies and direct them towards the orthodox paths. But none of them agreed. All of them took the challenge and tried to finish what I started."
"Unfortunately, none of them succeeded." Raven added, causing Geezer to sigh once again. Speaking up to this, he rembered sothing. "Is this also the reason why their remnant souls are within the crown?"
"Exactly." Geezer nodded, "In the end, they also have desires to reach the realm beyond Divinity. All of them are waiting for the chance of soone to succeed on what they couldn't."
Raven sighed. He could already feel the pressure on his shoulders. Not to ntion this old fellow in front of him, just Certinos alone, who already lived for millions of years, are expectant of him. So much to the point that he even used his saved up energy to send him back in ti with his mories intact. How lantable that would be if it turns out that Raven fails in the end.
Geezer could tell what Raven was going through right now, and to that he feel extrely guilty. He originally didn't want to evangelize this incomplete thod yet his enemies forced him to. The Ancestral Divine Crown was taken from him and when the thief saw that it was useless, it was thrown sowhere and was picked up by the first inheritor. That's how this all began.
After staying silent, Raven let out a long sigh and said: "Fuck it. Might as well. It's already too late anyway, I already grew so fond of using Cosmic Energy."
"In the end of the day, if it weren't for this crown, I wouldn't be able to achieve all the things I have right now. I at least owe you this much." Raven stated, causing Geezer to sigh.
These etings with his inheritors had never been an easy thing for him to handle.
"Since you've made your decision. Then its ti for to pass down the Second Chapter of the Book of Chaos to you. I'll also pass so of the inspirations that I was planning to use to create the Final Chapter."
Geezer then tapped Raven's forehead to pass the inheritance to him. A wave of foreign details gushed over Raven's psyche. He organized it for a while and kept it at the corner of his psyche.
"I'll suggest you to not view the Second Chapter just yet. Wait until you're at the peak of your 9th Transformation before viewing it, that way you won't necessarily get distracted."
"Additionally, you don't have to worry about my enemies. I used a technique to hide your existence from them. So long as you won't enter the inner world within the crown in front of them, they'll never be able to connect the dots."
"I know that you have so enmity with the Abyssals, and you probably won't rest until you eradicated every single one of them. To this, you have my support. But let advise you to investigate more. Don't allow yourself to drown in anger and be reckless."
Raven nodded, feeling a bit strange inwardly. He stared at this old man and asked: "Is your na really Old Man Geezer?"
