Super Spender

Chapter 853: Chapter 847 Shock_1

But there is one type of person that is sought after anywhere, and that is the person with great abilities. How does the saying go? When someone is slightly better than you, you feel envious, but when someone is much better than you, you probably lose all feelings of jealousy.

Take the ordinary people on Earth, for instance. If your classmate, who was once just like you, ends up faring much better than you at a reunion ten years after graduation—owning a car and a house while you’re still without any prospects—you’ll definitely feel envious. Why him and not me, you’ll wonder.

But you won’t feel that way when the difference between you is simply too vast; that’s just the gap in strength. And Finn Lewis was undoubtedly such a person. No matter what his status truly was, at this moment, Finn had accomplished things that no one else could.

To the average person, Finn was probably about to surpass all the heirs of the royal family because while those heirs from other noble families were idly squandering their time at the noble academies, here was Finn, an inspiring figure of determination, and his impact was immense. Those who were idling their lives away would certainly be looked down upon.

However, Finn himself couldn’t afford to think about these things at the moment. After he completed the final task and clicked to finish the exam, a splendid golden light suddenly appeared around him, and in almost an instant, it pulled him into a bizarre place.

In that moment, Finn even felt as if his thoughts started to slow down. The powerful mental strength made his train of thought seem stretched into a weird strip, as if his reaction speed suddenly decreased by tens of thousands of times. If a single action previously took a second to register, now it would take tens of thousands of seconds to react.

This feeling was terribly uncomfortable. When it finally subsided, Finn found his surroundings had changed. It was a strange place, and in front of Finn was a bronze gate with something very familiar for unlocking on top of it.

That thing required only one thing, the family crest on the back of Finn’s wrist. Yet it was odd that even in this place, similar to virtual reality, the family crest on Finn’s wrist looked as realistic as it did in reality, with no difference whatsoever.

What was this? Finn was a bit bewildered, as if he’d arrived at the top of a mountain range surrounded by rocks, with the bronze gate as the only way out. Although he didn’t know what this place was, Finn scratched his head and decided to move forward. When he approached the huge bronze lock, he extended his wrist into it.

Then the two golden dragons came to life once again. Subsequently, the bronze gate emitted a golden glow and swung open from both sides, revealing the scene inside. Finn was completely shocked. The interior wasn’t the mysterious place he had imagined at all.

It was more like space, surrounded by twinkling stars. As Finn stepped into this place, the bronze gate closed behind him again. Just after the gate closed, a sudden voice resonated around him, and from this voice, Finn could be sure that it wasn’t similar to a central control AI or artificial intelligence; it must be a recorded message left by someone.

“I didn’t expect that a descendant of the Lewis Family could walk in here. No matter which generation of offspring you are, since you’re able to come here, it means that the Galactic Federation must still exist.”

The first sentence completely shocked Finn. But at the same time, he couldn’t help but criticize internally. Damn it, no wonder something felt off. So this is where all the benefits were hiding. Ever since Finn took on the identity of the heir to the Nine-star Heritage System, there had been something he couldn’t figure out.

It is said that the Nine-star Heritage System established the Galactic Federation, so as the founder, the Lewis Family should be like ancient emperors whereas other royal families are merely nobility. Considering this, Finn couldn’t believe how the noble relations were still thriving while the genuine royal family was almost extinct.

Was the first patriarch of the Lewis Family an idiot or a fool? Did he not leave any measures for succession? If he could establish the Galactic Federation, then the first patriarch of the Lewis Family couldn’t have been an ordinary person; and he certainly wouldn’t have been so foolish.

Finn couldn’t understand this situation no matter how he thought about it, but when he saw what was in front of him now, he figured it out—even though he didn’t know the reason, clearly, it wasn’t true that there were no contingency plans. Damn it, who doesn’t have a little self-interest?

“Don’t be shocked or worry. The time flow ratio between here and the outside world is 1:10000, meaning that for every second that passes in the outside world, 10,000 seconds will pass here. So, don’t worry. However, such an extensive time ratio can cause great harm to one’s soul and spirit, so this space will completely vanish after a maximum of 20,000 seconds once activated,” the unfamiliar voice continued.

This made Finn instantly understand the uncomfortable feeling he experienced earlier, which was caused by the powerful time ratio effect. However, what puzzled Finn was that so far, the technology of the Galactic Federation hadn’t been able to achieve this.

Virtual reality can achieve a certain time ratio with real space, but currently, the best the Galactic Federation can do is 1:3, meaning one day in reality equates to three days in virtual reality. But 1:10000, that difference was just too vast.

“Since the Galactic Federation still exists, it means the Heritage System has not been affected by the Dark Believer. You may not have heard of it, but I’m going to tell you what a Dark Believer is.” Finn’s heart leapt at this point, the term ‘Dark Believer’ immediately making him think of the Dark Messenger that he had recently asked Jasmine Davis about.

Indeed, the following account made Finn realize that the Dark Believers mentioned here were the same as the Dark Messengers Jasmine described. But according to this description, the threat posed by the Dark Believers was much greater than Jasmine had indicated. Damn it, by this account, the Dark Believers could even destroy the entire universe.

But it was explained that the reason the head of the Lewis Family was able to leave this behind was because this device was inherited from an ancient civilization and was capable of such a feat.
