Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Beneath the Starry Sky, At the Summit of the Clear Sky
"Fourth Brother, are you playing too big a game? Are our family's troubles really that big?" Lin Shen was somewhat distressed.
He had heard of Di Esi before, but back then, he didn't know what kind of person Di Esi actually was.
Just a short while ago, he finally learned who Di Esi really is.
A member of the Supreme Clan ranked first in the universe, the first congenital Nirvana Being born from the Supreme Clan, a person who could defeat 99.99 percent of humans right from birth.
Lin Shen felt that aside from looks, his Fourth Brother would probably be KO'ed in every other aspect when challenging such a person.
Lin Shen had also heard about his Fourth Brother's feat at Jinshui Lake, where he faced five opponents and shattered five Life Bases. Truly handsome and strong, but compared to Di Esi, he simply wasn't on the same level.
"Could it be that Fourth Brother has already achieved Nirvana? That's too fast." Lin Shen found it hard to believe that his Fourth Brother could have achieved Nirvana so quickly.
He knew his Fourth Brother. He would definitely wait till Tenth Turn before attempting Nirvana. Where would he find so many resources to achieve Nirvana so swiftly?
"Could it be that Fourth Brother also got himself a rich patroness?" Lin Shen couldn't help but consider various possibilities.
What worried Lin Shen the most was whether his Fourth Brother challenging Di Esi meant that the troubles of the Lin Family stemmed from the Supreme Clan?
If that was the case, Lin Shen felt that his own efforts were far from sufficient.
"You humans are really too funny, actually going to challenge Di Esi. Are you looking for a bargain?" Tian Xin glanced at Lin Shen with a mocking look in her eye.
"Looking for what bargain?" Lin Shen was confused.
Why would his Fourth Brother challenging the Nirvana Level Di Esi be seen as looking for a bargain? It didn't make sense.
Logically, Tian Xin should have mocked humans for not knowing their own strength, but it seemed that wasn't what was happening.
Tian Xin curled her lips and said, "In the universe, it's common knowledge that Di Esi is a natural-born Nirvana Being. However, because he wanted to experience life below Nirvana, he asked the Supreme Being of the Supreme Clan to use a defying-heaven technique to regress him to zero, having him start over from Steel Level, and he only recently ascended."
"So there's such a thing. How bored must Di Esi be, it's like a prince going to the countryside to experience life." Lin Shen was speechless.
The whole universe was almost green with envy, yet Di Esi gave up his congenital Nirvana Body to start anew from Steel Level.
Lin Shen felt that one really shouldn't be too well-fed.
"That fellow human of yours must be desperate for fame, challenging Di Esi at such a time. He's too ignorant. Does he think Di Esi is easy to bully just after his Ascension? Hopeless case, even freshly ascended, Di Esi is still invincible among his peers," Tian Xin said sarcastically.
"That's not certain, no matter how strong Di Esi is, having just ascended, at most he's at the First or Second Turn. If he were to face a Tenth Turn, there's still a possibility of defeat." Lin Shen, although he felt that his fourth brother was likely not a Tenth Turn, still hoped his fourth brother could win.
"Impossible, even if Di Esi is only at the First Turn, a Tenth Turn would still be defeated against him," Tian Xin said with a cold laugh. "Do you know what the scene of Di Esi's Ascension was like? Such a scene, I'm afraid you can't even imagine it in your dreams."
"Ascension is just ascension, what scene could there be?" Lin Shen was even more puzzled.
"Primitive races are just that, lacking in insight. When Di Esi ascended, his Life Base triggered the Cosmic Rainbow Light, and upon billions of stars, countless civilizations witnessed his daylight Ascension spectacle. That was the first of its kind since ancient times." As Tian Xin spoke, a hint of longing appeared on her face.
"What is the Cosmic Rainbow Light?" Lin Shen had never even heard of it.
"Do you know how vast the distances between star systems are? An Ascender, flying at full speed, may not be able to reach another star system in their lifetime, and the universe is even more boundless. Let alone Ascenders, even Nirvana Beings generally can only travel to other star systems' planets through teleporters."
"Maybe you still don't have a tangible feel for it, so let's make an analogy. The starlight you see on Giant Ring Star might have traveled for hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even millions to billions of years before reaching Giant Ring Star. That is to say, the starlight you see was emitted long ago and is only reaching you now."
"As for the Cosmic Rainbow Light, it is a special energy fluctuation phenomenon in the universe, which can be regarded as a kind of energy release phenomenon of the universe. The Cosmic Rainbow Light can instantaneously appear in most areas of the universe. To date, no one has been able to understand exactly how the Cosmic Rainbow Light is generated or triggered."
"Before, only when one could draw boundaries in the sky as a king were they able to trigger the Cosmic Rainbow Light. It has never been heard of for someone to trigger it through Ascension, not to mention Ascension, even during Nirvana, I have not personally witnessed anyone who could trigger the Cosmic Rainbow Light."
"It is said that in ancient times, there were invincible Nirvana Beings who could trigger the Cosmic Rainbow Light, but those are just stories and legends. Modern people have never seen it with their own eyes. In the past thousand years, those who have seen the Cosmic Rainbow Light with their own eyes were probably seeing Di Esi's Ascension that time."
After explaining, Tian Xin looked at the projection of Lin Xiangdong in the news, mocking, "So don't hold any fantasies, no one of the same level is a match for Di Esi. Not to mention the same level, even if it's Nirvana, it's hard to say if they can take down Di Esi."
"Maybe the Cosmic Rainbow Light was just a coincidence? Such cosmic phenomena might have appeared just by chance at the time of Di Esi's Ascension…" Lin Shen began to worry about his fourth brother. If Di Esi was really that powerful, wouldn't his fourth brother be in danger?
"Coincidence? Why don't you coincidentally show me one?" Tian Xin said with disdain.
"Ahem, Tian Xin, can your communicator show the footage of this Human challenging Di Esi?" Lin Shen asked while staring at the communicator in Tian Xin's hand.
"Not necessarily, it depends on whether anyone from the major clans is broadcasting the live scene. That requires special equipment, which smaller clans don't have," Tian Xin thought for a moment and said, "But for something as amusing as this, there should be someone from the major clans broadcasting it live, let me see."
As Tian Xin switched through a few channels, after a while, the live scene of Tianjing Mountain appeared in the projection.
Lin Shen saw more clearly this time, only to see Lin Xiangdong, dressed in a robe as white as snow, standing atop a mountain that looked like a giant monument.
Behind him stood a pole, on which hung a large banner that read, "Beneath the starry sky, atop the summit of Tianjing. In this life, my only wish is to battle with you."
"Tianjing Mountain is not actually a mountain, but something akin to a satellite orbiting around Chonggao Star, except that it is not spherical. Legend has it that Tianjing Mountain was originally the Life Base of a Nirvana Being from the Supreme Clan.
During the star beast tide, that Nirvana Being of the Supreme Clan suppressed the star beast tide with his own power and after slaying countless star beasts, he passed away on the spot, and his Life Base became Tianjing Mountain, protecting Chonggao Star ever since."
Tian Xin snorted coldly, "That Human also has some schemes, actually running off to Tianjing Mountain to challenge Di Esi, and making it widely known. Even if the Supreme Clan doesn't want to deal with him, they can't ignore him causing trouble on Tianjing Mountain. Let's see if Di Esi will come out to deal with him personally.
To deal with such a fame-crazed nobody, I think the Supreme Clan wouldn't bother letting Di Esi take action, any Ascender would be able to crush him to death."
