Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 189 This place is connected to the Dark Dimension

Along the way, only Liu Qi and Mu Qianjin could hear the voices of the demons from the dark dimension; no one else could hear them, and they didn't understand what was going on.

Liu Qi didn't explain why he could hear it, and Mu Qianjin was the same; she genuinely didn't know why she could hear it.

"Is this some kind of loop space, or one that can confuse people and lead them somewhere?" Jiang Shaoxu said.

They had walked at least five kilometers from here, but still hadn't reached the end, which was rather strange.

"It's certainly possible. I've been to the Sahara Desert, and no matter which way you go, you can't get out."

"You might be walking forward but actually backward, which can deceive your senses, not to mention the limited visibility here," Mr. Wu analyzed.

The Sahara was affected by spatial and chaotic forces, and the situation here might be similar.

You may be moving forward, but you could very well be going around in circles.

"So what do we do now? Should we move further away? That should solve the problem, right?" Mu Bai suggested, but this suggestion was quickly rejected by President Wu.

"We can't go this way. We might get lost along the way. There are still demons here. It would be fine if we encountered a general, but if it were a commander, you wouldn't be able to guarantee your safety."

"Let's try to go back first. I remember how far we came from here. Let's see if this place is like the Sahara," said Mr. Wu.

They started walking back.

"This place is really eerie. This ancient tomb is definitely not a good place," Jiang Shaoxu complained.

"I heard that this place was created by the Ancient King. It is said that the Ancient King was a master of chaos, so it is understandable that he is a bit unfathomable," Mu Qianjin said.

"The Ancient King isn't some kind of Chaos Master," Mr. Wu said with a smile. "He's the progenitor of the Chaos system. No one in the Chaos system is more powerful than the Ancient King. You know Sha Yuan, right? That place was created by the Ancient King. It's unpredictable and mysterious. Even now, no one has figured out what Sha Yuan is all about."

As Mr. Wu spoke, he, a super-level mage, had far more knowledge than mid-level mages like Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Qianjin.

"Moreover, the Ancient King was not only the progenitor of the Chaos system, but also the progenitor of the Earth and Necromantic systems. Each of them reached the pinnacle of their abilities, and no one has ever been able to match the Ancient King in terms of magical cultivation."

"I can understand the necromancy system. It's said that the origin of the undead in the ancient capital is the Ancient King, and the undead here are indeed powerful. It's normal that the Ancient King is the progenitor of the necromancy system, but why say that he is the progenitor of the earth system?"

"Has he achieved anything remarkable in the earth element?" Mu Qianjin asked, puzzled.

Now that they started talking about the ancient king, everyone became very interested. This world-class historical figure was also a supreme magician, and each of them was extremely interested.

"This... I'm not quite sure." General Manager Wu gave a wry smile: "I only heard it from others. Actually, it's unclear why the Ancient King is called the progenitor of the Earth element, but most people say that, so over time the Ancient King has become the progenitor of the Earth element."

"So it's all just hype? It's all just hearsay. The ancient king was so powerful that some people think his earth element was also at its peak?" Mu Bai said.

The ancient king was, after all, a figure from thousands of years ago. Because he was a great figure, his story has been passed down through generations, but it is normal that some of his stories have been exaggerated over the years.

A person's lifespan is only seventy or eighty years, but a thousand years is a long time, and countless generations have passed, and dynasties have changed hands countless times.

"That's possible," Mr. Wu said.

"The Ancient King's earth element is indeed formidable; no one in the world can surpass it," Liu Qi said, drawing everyone's attention. Jiang Shaoxu asked in confusion, "How do you know that?"

Liu Qi's understanding of history was not as good as Su Ming's, and Su Ming was completely outclassed by Jiang Shaoxu, so it was strange that he knew anything about it.

"After graduation, I became interested in historical figures and made a point of researching them," Liu Qi explained.

"I see."

"That's right, and I met a teacher who influenced me so much that I really became even more knowledgeable," Liu Qi said with a smile, explaining why the ancient king's earth element was so powerful.

"The ancient king's earth element achievement is in the ancient city walls. It's hard to say exactly what it is. If you have the chance, you can go and see those places. They stretch across the country for tens of thousands of miles and are very spectacular," Liu Qi said, mentioning a few place names before continuing.

"However, calling him the progenitor is not quite accurate. Strictly speaking, the Ancient King is the originator rather than the progenitor. People like Edison who invented the light system can be called progenitors, but in terms of cognition, the earth system was not discovered by the Ancient King. The earth system already existed before the Ancient King."

"It was probably learned from some creatures, just like how Western magic originated from dragons."

"You know quite a lot."

Liu Qi smiled sheepishly: "It's nothing, my teacher has studied this, so he knows a bit more about it."

"Who is your teacher? I might even know him," Mr. Wu said.

"That's unlikely. My teacher doesn't care about fame or fortune, and he has very little reputation outside of school."

After Liu Qi said that, General Manager Wu stopped asking questions.

"Has your teacher researched this ancient tomb issue?" Mu Bai asked.

"One thing is certain: this ancient tomb didn't just appear recently; it's actually existed for a long time, and most people know about it. It's just that it was buried underground before, and now it's come to light."

"That's true." Jiang Shaoxu nodded in agreement.

When he came, Brother Tian told him that this ancient tomb had indeed existed for a long time, and that many places were still under research.

However, this has yielded no results, and the ancient tomb remains a mystery.

"By the way, I suspect the dark dimension creatures here are related to the bell that rang earlier," Liu Qi said after walking for a while.

"Oh?" Mr. Wu was taken aback for a moment: "Tell me more details, I'm very interested."

"We all heard the bell, but we couldn't quite put our finger on what was strange about it. Was that something your teacher told you?"

Mr. Wu stared intently at Liu Qi, then lowered his gaze slightly after realizing it was too aggressive.

"Yes, it was my teacher who told me. He has also studied this ancient tomb, and his research is quite in-depth." Liu Qi thought for a moment and decided to tell him everything.

"This bell comes from the Underworld Bell, which is most likely something that the ancient king brought back from the Dark Dimension. Its specific function is unknown, but after the second ring, a door will open, connecting to the Dark Dimension."

M

Jiang Shaoxu squinted: "So, those strange demons here are actually creatures from the Dark Dimension, and the reason they came out is because the bell rang twice and opened the door connecting to that side."

"So—this place is connected to the Dark Dimension?"
