119 Fated Successor 2 (1/2)

Arios continued, ”With the accumulation of his enemies, a plan was hatched to deal with the sage…

Many years ago, the opening of the Timeless Library was becoming more and more of a possibility, with the leading runner being the sage. Because of his vast resources and untold success, there were very few who would be able to rival the sage in this special legacy world opening.”

Dyon listened with interest, ”special legacy world?”

”Ai. Legacy worlds come with various rankings of their own. Most of the time, it's simply by the cultivation of the expert who left it behind… but, the Timeless Library is a special case.

Remember the watershed I spoke of before? The Timeless Library is a legacy suspended in space, where all time it stopped. It is the culmination of all the legacies and knowledge of past experts who surpassed this watershed.”

Dyon's eyes shone. A culmination of experts who all surpassed the sage? What kind of ridiculous concept was that?

Arios sighed, ”the sage was intent of opening this world, not because he wanted to follow and learn from others, but because he felt that something was off with the world. I'm sure by now you at least know about campaigns and the reason they're fought, right?”

Dyon nodded.

”Well, the sage was intent on finding a solution to this, and he had a feeling that the answer was within the Timeless Library. With him being one of the only few with the qualifications to even enter such a legacy world, many of his enemies inexplicably stopped competing for it.

The sage was intelligent, so he was fully aware that this only happened because they were intent on destroying his hard work in his absence…”

Dyon's arched an eyebrow, ”didn't you say this world was suspended in time? Wouldn't it technically be but an instant from when he went in to when he came out?”

Arios shook his head, ”suspended in time, yes. But suspended in which time is the key here.”

Dyon's eyes widened with a sudden realization.

”Because of the legacy world's abnormality. The sage could reappear in the same instance he entered… or he could be transported millions of years into the past… or, millions of years into the future. It was impossible to tell. The only thing that was certain was that you couldn't be transported to a time before the first expert who experienced a watershed began the Timeless Library, and that there was an equal chance of being transported to any time other than that.”

”Which means there's a vastly higher chance of being sent into the future as opposed to the past…”

Arios inwardly praised Dyon's intelligence. He grasped the crux of the matter almost immediately.

Whereas the moment the Timeless Library was created is finite, the future was obviously infinite. Well… as infinite as heat death would allow. This meant that if those who entered had an equal chance of being transported to any given time according to those rules… there was a vastly higher likelihood of being sent into the future simply because there was more time in the future.
