Appearance, origin, status, wealth, technical accumulation, power...
Adam believed he was not narcissistic at all. After a rational and objective self-assessment, he considered himself perfect in every way.
At least on Earth, no one could compare to him, only Ma Ran the Foreknowledge and Zhao Guanlan the Profound Immortal could match him in some aspects.
If Adam were inferior to Li Tang in any way, it would probably only be in the area of combat power.
But...
As a royal heir eligible to compete for the position of Crown Prince, Adam, with extraordinary talent and rich accumulation, could have reached the Vacuum Level years ago if he wanted!
Worried about drawing excessive attention from the Emperor Chuanke and receiving the same repressive treatment as Eldest Prince Li Tang and the prematurely deceased Second Prince, Adam suppressed his realm!
He had long accumulated enough. If he wished, he could break through to the Vacuum Level at any time!
Jin Yina...
She truly is a short-sighted woman!
Compared to her on another timeline, she falls far short!
Suddenly, a familiar yet strange voice sounded in Adamâs ear.
"Third brother, if I give up competing with you for the Foreknowledge, let the Profound Immortal be mine, plus one small additional condition, how about it?"
It was Li Tangâs voice.
Adam snorted coldly and was about to retort immediately.
But he thought of the future on another timeline...
If he teamed up with his seventh sister Eve, even if they could push Li Tang out and make him leave Earth disgraced, he would ultimately lose to Eve due to His Majesty the Emperorâs bias, ending up in a miserable situation.
Thus, Adam ultimately suppressed his displeasure, trying to dissolve some unwarranted emotions, and spoke calmly: "An additional condition? If itâs reasonable, I will consider it."
This was his attempt to mend relations with Li Tang, and even if they couldnât become allies, at least they could use each other, forming a tripartite situation, and then, using foreknowledge, gradually acquire benefits, reputation, power, and top talents strategically.
Li Tang was also straightforward, without a momentâs hesitation, he said bluntly: "Adam, you should know, people like us can never truly love someone in our lifetime."
"But..."
"In Zhao Guanlan the Profound Immortalâs Illusion Realm, I felt that the Earth woman named Jin Yina was very special."
"In the illusion, she was pure and kind, like a ray of pure moonlight, different from all other female life forms."
"I know these are just illusions, I donât love her."
"But crisis is always accompanied by opportunity."
"With the remaining power of the Illusion Realm, maybe... I can truly feel love, indulge in it, and then conquer it!"
"I want to borrow your technology to perform a genetic modification surgery on Jin Yina, turning her into a Chuanke, so she can bear my children and consolidate my succession sequence."
Adamâs face darkened, his gaze became gloomy, nearly turning hostile on the spot.
However, he was, after all, a man with the education of the Chuanke Royal Family, and at critical moments, reason always triumphed over emotion.
After taking several deep breaths, Adam finally said: "Love is the resonance between souls, a pure and wonderful emotion. Only those who can fully understand this emotion have the possibility of breaking through to the Star Driving Levelâare you planning to follow the faith and path of âTowerâ?"
This was a taunt towards the other.
Though he tried to maintain a calm mindset, there was still a bit of sarcasm in his words.
Li Tangâs response left Adamâs mind blank: "These words sound familiar, but... who is Tower?"
In the Chuanke Civilization, Towerâs status is equivalent to that of Confucius in the Earth Civilization, perhaps even above the initial âChuanke.â
Although the "River of Origin" was unmatched in combat power among the Star Driving Level, known as the invincible Overlord, he ultimately was a lone individual, and after being defeated by âKe,â he sank into decline, ultimately self-destructing, gathering his essence and blood to pass it on to descendants to protect the Chuanke Civilization.
But âTowerâ...
Among the Star Driving Level powerhouses, Tower was not the strongest.
Tower was a philosopher, thinker, educator, fond of teaching, and in his lifetime, he had countless apprentices.
Because his disciples spread across the world, Towerâs various famous sayings have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, not just in the Chuanke Royal Family, but even a common civilian child can casually recite a few lines of Towerâs famous quotes!
As the Eldest Prince of Chuanke, Li Tang did not know of Towerâs existence?
What is this situation?
Adam, full of confusion, pondered for a long time, ultimately responding with a complex tone: "Tower, one of the Star Driving Level powerhouses during Chuanke Civilizationâs peak era, also a great thinker and educator."
Upon hearing this, there was a long silence from Li Tangâs side before he said softly: "Adam! About what Iâm going to say next, you best pay full attention, listen carefully."
"Throughout the entire history of Chuanke, there has never been a Star Driving Level powerhouse named âTower.â
"Your current condition..."
"I suspect you fell into Zhao Guanlan the Profound Immortalâs Illusion Technique, or rather, he used some means to sever and confuse your memory."
At this point, Li Tangâs voice quivered slightly: "I was also trapped in the Triple Illusion Realm before, and after coming out, a test revealed just how strong Zhao Guanlanâs talent really is."
"His combat power is strong, strong to a terrifying degree."
"But his illusion talents are so strong that even placed in the brilliant era of 160,000 years ago, he can be on par with Overlord River and Saint Monarch Ke!"
"Without adequate anti-illusion preparation, I wonât see Zhao Guanlan again."
"I advise you to maintain your composure and never underestimate any Extraordinary One!"
"The Foreknowledge being treated equally by Zhao Guanlan, his talent is definitely not limited to the Divine Soul Completion alone!"
Hearing this, Adamâs heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out all over him.
What nonsense illusion technique, he absolutely did not believe it!
Regarding the quotes and statements from "Tower," Adam could fluently recite hundreds of them off the top of his head.
Including Towerâs disciple relationship network and related "idiom stories," Adam remembered them vividly.
Instrument tests showed no trace of illusion power remaining on him!
Could it be...
That he was now in a brand-new, unknown timeline?
Under the influence of Enclosure Text and Enchantment, with memories manipulated to be fragmented, Adam began to question his life.
But he ultimately suppressed his emotions with reason, accessed the database, and began comparing and checking the data.
