Chapter 728 - Phoenix (1/2)

“But the original world isn’t all bad, I mean, there’s an advanced technology. As for your great inventions, I like computers very much. Not only I can use it to watch shows, but I can also play video games and listen to music with it. I can even mimic the master’s voice using some software. It is simply a spectacular invention.” The duck emperor sat before his computer as he professed his admiration for them.

Xiao Luo could not help but comment, “It is a shame that your computer isn’t connected to the Internet. If you go online, you’ll discover even more interesting things.”

He had checked the duck’s computer earlier, and while there were many animal documentaries, he only had one movie about humans. It was a Cantonese film, so this duck would use Cantonese swear words sometimes in his speech.

“Yes, yes… I always want to see the world outside!” The duck emperor enthused passionately, and it filled his eyes with excitement.

“So, that’s why you wanted to follow me to the Arcana Land, am I right?” Xiao Luo said with a chuckle.

“Oh, dear, was it so obvious?”

The duck emperor covered his mouth with his hand-like wings, looking like an innocent child. “I have been living in this hall since I was born, and I’ve never once seen the world outside. Although I am more than five hundred years old, my perspective is shallower than a three years old kid. Please, sympathize with my situation and take me along with you. I promise I won’t be a burden.”

“Aren’t you afraid that the Master God of Chaos will punish you when he finds out?” Xiao Luo asked.

“Punish? No, no, no… He has gone on a vacation to the outer world. Why can’t I take a break too?”

The duck emperor was planning to risk it all. He desperately wanted to see the world out there for the longest time. And, had he the capability to tear through the dimension of chaos, he would have left this prison-like hall a long time ago. “Speaking about the outer world, I am so fascinated by it. According to my master, two parties rule the outer world—the Ultimate Martial clan, and the Ultimate Tech clan. The Arcana Land here and the original world resemble these clans from the outer world. The Arcana Land represents the Ultimate Martial clan while the original world represents the Ultimate Tech clan.”

Xiao Luo suddenly became serious and asked, “What is the Ultimate Martial clan, and what is the Ultimate Tech clan? Be clear about it.”

“Mm, how should I make it clearer? Let me give you an example… If people want to fly, they would need the help of an aircraft. This belongs to the realm of the Ultimate Tech. Some can fly using their capabilities without the help of an aircraft—they belong to the Ultimate Martial realm. Similarly, using a communication device to communicate over a distance of a thousand miles belongs to the realm of the Ultimate Tech. Those who could transmit their voices using their inner power to communicate belong to the realm of the Ultimate Martial.”

The duck emperor had a cigar in his mouth and started smoking. “Regardless of whether it is the Ultimate Martial or Ultimate Tech, they can all achieve the same results. In the outer world, they have always been rivals. Is it clearer now?” he said.

Xiao Luo finally got a better understanding of the matter. He even suspected if the Ultimate Tech clan invented the genius system.

One clan represented the top martial artists, and the other clan represented the power and ingenuity of science. The higher one progressed, the more likely he would appreciate how little he knew. In Xiao Luo’s mind, he had formed an understanding of a vast and complicated universe called the outer world civilization. And compared to this civilization, the world that he knew was simply insignificant.

The Ultimate Martial clan and the Ultimate Tech clan made up the universe. His original world and the Arcana Land were miniature versions of these clans. Xiao Luo suddenly felt the vastness of this universe and how small he was in comparison. But he also knew that the stronger he became, the higher the level he could attain.

But, he had no wish to go to the outer world and only wanted to remain in his world, in his own home with the love of his life. It was a simple and ordinary wish.

Ten days later, the Nihility outside had finally dissipated.

The duck emperor had packed his backpack long ago and was ready to leave with Xiao Luo to see the wonders of the Arcana Land. Its entire backpack only comprised some clothing.

“I did not agree to bring you along.”

Xiao Luo rolled his eyes. Although Xiao Luo thought this duck was rather helpful, he suspected Duck Emperor was still going to be a burden. Besides, adventurers usually brought along cool mythical beasts with them, so he didn’t wish to be stuck with this damn white duck. It was awkward in every way.

What?

As the duck emperor heard that, he froze and sat on the ground, then threw a tantrum. “You rascal, how could you do this to me. Aren’t we are friends? Would it cost your life to show me the world?” he cried.

He was crying pathetically and looked exactly like Donald Duck.

Xiao Luo was speechless, but he was determined not to bring Duck Emperor along. On top of it being a burden, what if the Master God of Chaos returned and realize that he had brought the duck out? That could be another potential cause of unnecessary trouble.

“Duck, guard the temple well for your master, I’ll see you when I return!”
