Chapter 1095 Awakening (2)

?At this moment, the dazzled Kai finally snapped out of his stupor, went pale with fright, and replied to Ace's early question, "S-sir… no… my lord, m-my name is Kai! I'm a Nominal City Disciple of Sect Alliance City! W-we… my lord is currently in the Lower Ascension Grade Spirit Stone Mine within the Sect Alliance City's territory! Should I call the Mine Manager, my lord?"

Kai stuttered, his head low because he didn't dare look at Ace anymore, afraid of offending him. But one thing was clear in his mind: this person in front of him was terrifying, and he shouldn't offend him no matter what.

However, deep down, he was still hoping to get something out of it, like a little reward for 'unearthing' this mysterious being. Yet he didn't dare ask for it and behaved as respectfully as possible.

After all, the cultivation world can be very deceiving, and this person in front of him might look like just a young man, but for all he knows, he can be an old monster who was cultivating in this place. He had unknowingly disturbed him, and the consequences of such offense were something he didn't dare to imagine.

So, he had already decided to be truthful, and if he didn't get anything out of it, he would be happy to just leave out of there alive. He can't die here for his loved ones who were relying on him to become a true disciple of Sect Alliance City.

Ace was surprised seeing Kai's fearful appearance and hearing his answer, 'Sect Alliance City, and Spirit Stone mine…'

Foremost, Kai was speaking in the same common language of the Mortal Sky Heaven; even in his nightmare, those people also spoke the same language, which made him wonder if this language was common all over the heavens.

The second thing was that these names were novel to him, so it also confirmed that he was no longer in Mortal Sky Heaven, or at least this place was somewhere he had never been before or heard of.

'So, this means I've ascended successfully? But then, what was that dream? Was it really real, and all those things really happened to me?' Ace's expression grew dim, and faint killing intent swirled in his eyes when he thought about all the events in that 'dream.'

If that was reality, then his enemies weren't restricted to his own family; the real enemy was the entire alliance of Sages!

To confirm that 'dream' and whether this was really the reality, he tried to call the system: "System, what was that dream, and where am I?"

However, what he got in reply was completely unexpected. A system interface he had seen since he teleported to the Mighty Demon Content appeared in front of him.

=====

[System Upgrade is underway; please wait plenty!]

[Estimate Time: 39D:11H:25M:19S]

=====

'Shit!' Ace cursed when he saw this interface, especially the time on it, and he knew he was on his own until the system was done upgrading.

Because all his rewards and other system features were unavailable, he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill and endure until the system was upgraded.

Ace quickly calmed his nerves since this also meant that he wasn't dreaming anymore. He finally focused on Kai, who was sweating while waiting for Ace's response. Ace finally spoke, "There is no need to call anyone. Instead, if you can answer some of my questions, I'll reward you."

Kai was stunned for a moment before elation rose in his heart. He quickly kneeled down and exclaimed, "My lord, I will answer anything to the best of my abilities!"

Ace was a little surprised by Kai's response, but after observing Kai's appearance and what kind of situation he might've had, he thought more carefully and guessed what Kai should be thinking about.

Despite his misgivings, he didn't sense any danger from Kai. So, he decided to play along and get some answers from Kai about this place.

Ace asked, somewhat amiably, "You said your name is Kai, right? Kai, my situation is a little bit unique, and I have forgotten about the world outside. Can you first describe exactly where this Sect Alliance City is and what its internal situation is?"

Kai was slightly surprised, but he then thought it made sense because if this senior had been in slumber in this place since who knows when. This realization made him even more excited. This also confirmed that Ace was a hidden expert.

Ace noticed Kai's excitement but didn't comment on it. Secretly, he started observing his own body more thoroughly.

First, his deft thief robe seemed to have been greatly damaged, but he wasn't too worried about it since it had a self-repair function. As long as he channeled his Heavenly Qi into it, it would become as good as new.

'My Qi didn't seem blocked, but it seemed to have become somewhat stagnant and felt insufficient. It's as if it is no longer enough, and I require far more Qi than I've already had to use my abilities. Is it related to the Primordial Law Body and the merging of my two inner spaces?

'Because if I think it more clearly, if my Soul and Martial spaces really ended up merging into one, then shouldn't my two Qis also become one? Maybe it is because of this that I can't use my Qi at all. Even my passive ability, the Thief Sense, is also completely suppressed!

'Damn it, I don't even know about anything now and have too many questions about the changes that happened to me, and what is this law body? I can't seem to connect with my inner spaces either now. Only the system can shed some light on this strange situation!

'Well, I can still feel Moira, Thievish Soul Cord, Myriad Vizard Thief Mask, and Thief's Space presences just fine, so there isn't much to worry about. But my connection with Moira seemed quite vague. Is it because of my inner space situation? Not to mention, the Myriad Vizard Thief Mask has become deactivated because of my Qi situation as well!

'Oh, and what happened to that woman who had taken off with the Soul Resurrection Bead before I stepped on that bridge? Shouldn't she be supposed to stick with me?' While Ace was frustrated because of his current complex situation, Kai started to speak…
