My System Increases My power Every Day Without Missions and Levelling-Chapter 271: Sea River

"Is there anyone in the Land of Humans as strong as this Chaos Master?" Richard asked.

"The Golden Tree Ancient Sovereign, the founder of the Golden Leaf Auction House—but his strength lies not in combat, rather in defense," the Fire Spirit Queen replied.

"So that ancient figure..." Richard had heard about this person before from Laura when she talked about the background of the Golden Leaf Auction House.

Unfortunately, that figure was extremely elusive.

"To be honest, this era is very harsh..." the Fire Spirit Queen sighed.

The battle, of course, did not stop.

Rebecca was continuously besieged, while high in the sky, the old man with the sword—assisted by a giant figure wielding a hammer—completely suppressed Evan, the werewolf.

No matter how he rampaged, he could not turn the tide.

This battle was far too intense for Richard.

The sky was full of holes from their actions.

This would surely be noticed across the entire Land of Humans.

Richard returned to normal mode upon arriving at the capital.

Now, Rebecca could sense him again—but what could she do? She had far greater enemies to deal with.

Even from the capital, Richard could still observe.

"How dare you bully my woman." Suddenly, he saw a very handsome gray-haired man appear behind the legion besieging Margaret.

With two swords of light, he launched an attack immediately, killing many soldiers.

Richard rolled his eyes when he saw the man.

Who else could it be but Edward Skylight?

"Rebecca, run! I’ll hold them off!" Edward shouted, as if ready to die for her.

He rampaged, trying to block everyone.

As he continued, a giant winged shadow appeared behind him—white and holy, radiating majestic power.

It even wielded a pair of swords that slashed faster than Edward himself.

’Celestial Being.’ Richard recognized it immediately.

Unfortunately, it was only a manifestation and too faint.

Still, its power was enough to amaze Richard.

He believed that if he released his own Celestial Being manifestation, the result would be even better than Edward’s.

Shua!

Rebecca actually fled when the attacks on her were halted.

She boarded an ark that immediately flew away at a speed comparable to an Ancient Sovereign.

"Chase her!" The Dark Abyss Young Master chose to focus on her.

They also had an ark capable of pursuing Rebecca’s vessel.

At the same time, Evan began trying to escape in a different direction.

Perhaps that was Rebecca’s instruction.

Richard still wasn’t sure how she controlled a werewolf that couldn’t even control itself.

"Queen, you should go first," Richard said, then looked at Mrs. Wilson.

"Mrs. Wilson, for now, stay in the capital. You can meet Sister Lisa—I still have something to take care of," he told her.

"Please be careful," Mrs. Wilson replied gently.

Her emotions seemed complicated.

The situation between Richard and his mother had become uncontrollable, while she still hoped they could forgive each other and reunite.

Unfortunately, their ambitions stood in the way.

DING!

(Your mastery of the Codex of Celestial Being has increased from 35% to 50%!)

Codex of Celestial Being (50%)

After receiving the notification and as things gradually calmed down, Richard left the capital again.

He didn’t go anywhere far—he returned to Purple Rose Village.

It was still a peaceful village. Richard observed it for a while before heading to his ancestral cottage, which had somehow returned.

The Fire Spirit Queen was naturally there.

She was bound to Richard and had nowhere else to go, so she treated the cottage as her home.

Standing on the balcony with her hair loose, the Fire Spirit Queen gazed at the small river in front of the cottage.

That was where she had once been carried by the current—and at that time, she had been extremely old, truly on the verge of death.

"Queen, you must know the origin of this river. What lies upstream?" Richard asked as he landed beside her.

From above, the river couldn’t be seen except for its lower section, as the upstream was covered by forest.

Of course, Richard knew that if he flew upstream through the air and descended, he wouldn’t find the river anymore.

This was something that transcended space and time.

Now that Richard was strong enough, he wanted to try his luck with this river.

But first, he needed to understand it.

The Fire Spirit Queen showed a serious expression before saying, "Many have died there. Aldric and I can only be considered fortunate to have survived."

"So what is it?" Richard pressed.

"Sea River," the Fire Spirit Queen replied. "It appears in the Sea of Calamity. People try to enter it, but it only grants a chance to one person per era. Battles break out, and the one who succeeded in entering was the Demon Flame Grand Sovereign—who eventually became a Grand Sovereign."

"Sea River..." Richard didn’t feel that the name sounded particularly impressive.

"It’s miraculous," the Fire Spirit Queen continued. "You know, by now you’ve trained many Codexes and Arcane Arts, and mastered several elements."

"Yes..." Richard nodded.

"Having more makes your power more versatile. However, truly mastering higher levels of Codexes, Arcane Arts, and elements is what brings real strength. Sea River can help you discard Codexes, Arcane Arts, or elements you no longer need, and convert your accumulated progress into enhancing what you choose to keep."

"For example, if you have 90% affinity in both Fire and Lightning, and you sacrifice one—say Fire—your Lightning affinity could increase by several percent. For Elements, avobe 90%, even a 1% increase is a terrifying transformation."

"Something like that is really possible?" Richard was quite shocked, unsure whether he should even do such a thing.

"This is something that descended from above," the Fire Spirit Queen answered.

"From above?" Richard narrowed his eyes.

"By the way, did my grandfather go there?" Richard asked, since the man could no longer be found.

"No... I’m afraid he ran into trouble somewhere. Do you know the Ancient Sovereign who was attacked by the werewolf in Holy Light City? That was your grandfather. He disappeared, while the werewolf returned—it’s quite clear."

Richard: "..."

"Don’t worry, that man isn’t so easy to kill. I tried several times to kill him in the previous era, only to fail," the Fire Spirit Queen added. "You should think carefully about whether you want to go to the Sea River or not. This is a good opportunity before others discover it... At that time, another bloody battle will break out. Even those from other continents will come."
