When discussing the chicken-egg paradox, people instinctively focus on the species, when chickens didn't appear out of nowhere.In fact, it passed through a long, arduous process of species iteration.And if that was the case for chickens, it applied all the more to humans, where civilization began in Mesopotamia just over five thousand years ago.However, homo sapiens dates back some 300,000 thousand years ago, and other ape-men possibly going back some two million years.It was a thought that blew Charlie's mind wide open, as he suddenly understood that the ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma and built the Antarctic subterranean city had nothing to do with modern humans.As Charlie and Vera strolled through the forests of Crane's Cry transitioning into summer, they began a retrospective discussion of what they had learned so far about the cultivators.Charlie was himself sighing, "In the five-thousand-year timeline of human civilization, the aver

Vera, a master of Daoism, quickly noticed the geomantic compass and exclaimed, "So those circles are portals connected to different places across the world?"Charlie nodded and pointed at the circle of light in the middle. "Nine, to be specific. The one at the center heads to Oskia, so we're taking that one back to Aurous Hill before thinking of something.""Do you know where it goes?" Vera asked. "Crane's Cry," Charlie replied.Vera's eyes widened in understanding and nodded. "Crane's Cry? That makes sense. It's the founding place of Daoism, so I'm sure the cultivators from before the Degenerate Age of Dharma attained enlightenment there too."Charlie nodded, frowning. "But there's something I don't get.""Do tell. I'll see if I have an answer for it."Charlie nodded again, and held her hand, leading her to the center circle, "Let's talk while we walk."In a split second, they were at that hidden cave in Crane's Cry.Vera wasn't surprised after teleporting twice now, while C

"Now?" Charlie's words left Vera confused despite her usual sharp wit, and it showed all over her face. "It's the polar winter. Aren't ships unable to cross the Roaring Forties?""Never said anything about a ship," Charlie replied, smiling.Vera was even more shocked. "Then, are we flying? It's hard for normal planes to take off or land at the South Pole."Charlie kept his mysterious smile. "Never said anything about a plane either."Vera was left mystified, but there were only two ways to travel connecting Aurous Hill and the South Pole—flying or sailing.So if Charlie said it was neither, what else could it be? Then, remembering the portal Charlie used to bring her here to the subterranean city, she exclaimed in shock, "Are there portals we can use to leave the South Pole?"Charlie nodded at her in surprise—he always thought highly of her mind, but she also kept raising the bar. "You really are smart. You got it in no time at all!""You're exaggerating," Vera smiled humbly
Chapter 7778
A hundred years was about the natural lifespan of normal humans, but for cultivators, two hundred years—even millennia, was just the start.During secluded cultivation, the better the conditions such as Reiki concentration in the surroundings, the deeper the cultivator would sink into their trance.However, Charlie was completely different from Marcius—the latter could abandon his sense of self and all worldly matters for cultivation, after all.It was something Charlie simply couldn't do, for he found his family, friends, and confidantes all too precious to him. He couldn't bear the thought of only emerging years or decades of seclusion, and finding everything had changed.Vera naturally understood that—she had long since come to see his loyalty and compassion, and that he was no zealot who would sacrifice everything else for cultivation. Therefore, how could he willingly waste his prime years in endless cultivation?So, she smiled and told Charlie, "If you're that worried about
Chapter 7777
Charlie wasn't sure if the portal could transport others, and once he told Vera and had her prepare herself mentally, he held her hand and repeated the incantation.There was a flash, and his vision was lost for a second while his sense of touch remained, so he could feel that he never released Vera's hand, while she didn't free herself from his grip either.And before his vision returned, he realized that he could teleport with others who didn't have the ring or cultivation.When they could see again, they were in the plaza of the subterranean city, with the pagoda standing right before them.Vera was at once shocked, as she never teleported herself, having only seen her father and Charlie teleport toward her.In the blink of an eye, she no longer stood under the aurora of the Antarctic, and was instead standing in the middle of a warm, comfortable subterranean city.Even as she turned toward Charlie, gaping, she asked, "Where are we, Mr. Wade?"Charlie replied, "The city where
Chapter 7776
Vera exclaimed in surprise. "A void pocket? As if the ring contains a virtual space that doesn't exist in the real world?"Charlie thought about it, but shook his head. "Not virtual space—it's a higher dimension that was folded into the ring by some masterstroke. There's about three basketball courts worth of space in there."At a thought, a spirit stone the size of an ostrich's egg appeared in his palm out of nowhere, leaving Vera gaping.Then, with just a thought, it disappeared back into his ring.Vera exclaimed, "So cultivators of that era were capable of such wonders?""There's actual wonders in comparison, but you'd understand when we get there," Charlie replied, smiling.Vera was curious, but since Charlie was deliberately keeping her in suspense, she didn't ask.Hours later, their snow tractor arrived outside the icy pit Barlin dug, and Charlie stopped beside it. "We've arrived. Let's go."Vera nodded and alighted, and seeing the dark pit, asked, "Did you dig that?"Ch
