Chapter 155: The String of Time
Kang De moved into the new house.
Possessing a single building was a privilege only the Mountain Chieftain and the leaders had. When Kang De first arrived, he occupied one, but no one raised any objections. This was because, after today’s incident, Hong San’s reputation had risen to another level. With this momentum, no one naturally jumped out to question his orders.
Moreover, Kang De brought so many resources to everyone. It could be considered a huge contribution.
Hong San personally led Kang De to the small building next door. In front of him, he was still respectful and meticulous. Kang De also chatted and laughed freely, as usual.
However, the two of them knew that a stupid move had already created a crack between them.
What happened was a small matter, but what was important was his attitude. Today, Hong San had done such a thing for his own selfish reasons and pushed Kang De into the spotlight. Tomorrow, he might do something even more overboard for another reason. This was Kang De’s current way and logic of looking at the problem.
Because of his previous encounter, his tolerance for these was very low, because he almost treated Hong San as half a friend. This was because Hong San could clearly have said it directly… but he did not.
The door closed and Hong San had already left.
Kang De stood on the second floor and looked out the window. The small building had also been arranged for guards. Hong San was instructing them with a serious expression, presumably to remind them of some taboos and etiquette.
He shook his head, sat in a chair in the room, and took out the crimson scroll.
The golden flames were resplendent and rose as before. This flame that appeared out of thin air was extremely magical and produced on its own. It did not consume anything and only had a little heat… However, other than that, there was nothing else.
Kang De took a deep breath and slowly placed his hand on the scroll.
His mental strength slowly extended through his finger.
It was only a little.
He could not recognize the words on the scroll, absorb these golden flames, or learn any shocking skills from them… Then, there was basically only one method left.
Element Extraction.
Analysis, tracing back to the source.
When he touched the golden fire,
Kang De was very careful and only touched it a little.
After all, the origin of the crimson scroll was not small. He felt that this phenomenon was not ordinary. To be safe, it was better to do it bit by bit. However, when he really began to extract, he discovered that he had still underestimated it.
In an instant, Kang De’s breathing paused, as if his soul had fallen into an endless universe. From ancient times until now, endless vastness had displayed itself to him. The source of power contained in the golden fire completely exceeded his imagination. An indescribable mysterious power surged into his body through his fingertip.
“F*ck… f*ck!”
—Not again!
Kang De was very familiar with this experience.
This was because it had happened a month or two ago on the Holy Seal Islands. He had just awakened the ability to extract elements and excitedly ran back to the white fog world. At that time, he thought that it was Earth because this ability could break down objects. At that time, he felt that he could break down the white fog.
Then, he was swallowed by the violent energy tide. A powerful force directly poured into his body, filling every hole from top to bottom—his pores, of course.
In the end, a mysterious power from the white fog accumulated in Kang De’s body. This thing was like an element and energy. The only use developed now was to enchant and inject it into objects. With the imagination of the Earthlings, there was a chance to create a mysterious item that existed in fantasy works.
It was commonly known as a major enchantment.
Now, when extracting the golden fire, the same feeling appeared again.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey!” Kang De shouted. “Can you be gentle…”
It was the same experience.
He could not protest or struggle. Kang De had a lifeless expression as he lay flat and allowed himself to be invaded. His entire body was washed by the power of deepest origin.
It was as if Master Kang’s cooperative attitude made this golden flame very satisfied, or perhaps this power was much more particular than the white fog, or perhaps during this period of time, Kang De’s body had become much stronger. In short, the accident of absorbing the white fog did not happen. He was not bloated to death, so there was no need to vent the excess strength. The power that surged into his body was neither too much nor too little, and it was just right.
When the transmission of this energy ended, Kang De’s body went limp and he fell to the ground with a bang.
As his finger left the scroll, the resplendent golden fire immediately disappeared and returned to the ordinary scroll. Kang De lay on the ground and looked up at the sky. His eyes were listless and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Don’t misunderstand, this did not mean that he had been ravaged.
It was not that he was extremely happy.
In fact, he was in a daze, or rather, he had fallen into the purest shock.

This was because the process just now was different from absorbing the white fog.
Absorbing the white fog only allowed him to have a messy mixture of elements that he could use. In essence, it was still the same as extracting items and absorbing elements.
What he had obtained just now was not elements.
It was… an ability.
It was as if after extracting Knight Glenn, he had obtained the other party’s proudest skill, Earth Roar.
Just like after extracting Mage Richard, he had also obtained the other party’s proudest Flame Control.
This process, accompanied by the reading of memories, was not a complete absorption. He only saw a fragment. When he absorbed Glenn, he saw the other party’s relationship and agreement with Hannah. When he absorbed Richard, he saw something about the Eldest Prince, Alex.
When absorbing the energy from the scroll, he only saw a scene.
There was only one thing, and it was a short scene that flashed and disappeared. With his current mental strength, he was only worthy of seeing this extremely short scene. Such a scene and such a memory came from the owner of this golden flame… from the depths of the other party’s memories.
He saw the universe.
A desolate, silent, and chaotic world.
He had also obtained strength.
Just feeling this trace of strength made him feel small and powerless. This emotion did not come from fear, but from sighing.
Just like the video he had seen on the Internet, it told him how big Earth was, how big the sun was, and how big the solar system was… Through the most direct comparison, it told him how big the universe that humans could detect now was—the diameter of 9.3 billion light years.
Had the universe ever used supernova explosions and asteroids to scare you?
No.
However, when humans directly recognized the vastness of the universe, they could not help but sigh at their insignificance… Just like Kang De’s current mood.
Without a doubt, the power on the scroll… must come from the gods of this world.
Such power was sourceless and simple. It was the true and supreme power of the world.
It was as if it was extracting the white fog, but it was different. The white fog could produce countless complicated elements, but there seemed to be only two elements in this golden fire.
Kang De slowly got up.
Looking at the crimson scroll on the table, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed it. When the scroll touched his hand, dazzling golden flames rose. Kang De took a closer look and was shocked.
This was because the flames on the scroll… were almost not dimmed at all.
It was as if the power absorbed by Kang De was only insignificant.
Kang De tried to release his mental strength and come into contact with the golden fire. Then, he received the feedback that he was “full”. His body could no longer carry too much energy, so the golden fire did not move.
…It was really smart.
He put away the scroll and stretched his body. He felt the change in his body. His gaze scanned the room before landing on something in a daze.
Kang De walked over quickly.
There was a mirror on the low cabinet. He picked it up as the mirror reflected his face.
His appearance was still that handsome appearance, and he was also very charming today. There was no change.
However, his eyes changed.
His eyes burned with golden flames that were dazzling and raging, like the golden flames of a scroll.
“These are…”

Kang De blinked and muttered, “It’s a little flashy…”
Clearly, the golden flames in his eyes came from the mutation of the scroll. Kang De was deep in thought. He focused and pondered the change when he absorbed the golden flames earlier, mobilizing the power from the scroll.
In the next moment, the golden flames in his left eye suddenly transformed. Glory circulated, and light entangled, instantly turning into a golden dial.
It plucked the string of time.
