Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1403 - 15: Family Mission_2

"Excellent, we’ll have fish soup for lunch today." Hadrian expressed with pride, "Where were we just now? Oh right, I was taking a detour because arriving too early could lead to problems."

"Why?"

"We’ve previously discussed the mechanism of time reversal. No matter how many times time is reversed on the surface, the real world always moves forward. This means our Spirit Light naturally diminishes over time, similar to how a person’s lifespan gradually ages. If we arrive at the Divine Capital City too early while the emperor still has strength, he might initiate a time reversal shortly after I start the battle..."

Hadrian drew a circle with his finger: "We’ll find ourselves back at the lakeside, they’ll have gathered intelligence, and more importantly, my life will be wasted yet another day. Now the Illusion Moon Venerate is in the Divine Capital City, she’s a cunning girl with many tricks, and she’s likely to encourage the emperor to continuously reverse time until I wear out and die of old age."

"Why don’t you just avoid dying?" The Hidden Law Master said coldly, "You have countless ways to extend your life, you can leave the Real World at any time to reach the end of the road, yet you’re fixated on a path leading to death. You’re even wasting time fishing."

He carried a wild boar to the lakeside and tossed it to the eager Qin Ming. There were few wild animals around the capital, but he managed to find a rare prey.

Hadrian took out a small knife to deal with the big fish, showing no impatience in his work and no signs of dying weariness.

"Firstly, the approach of death has nothing to do with one’s attitude towards life; even if I were to die tomorrow, it wouldn’t stop me from enjoying today. Secondly, your idea is poor, heading to the end of the road is just like being imprisoned with King Infinite; I’d rather enjoy myself here."

"So what exactly do you want to do?" The Hidden Law Master frowned.

"I want to take a look at the world outside before I die." Rainbow Winged Lord answered straightforwardly, "To achieve this, I must break Emperor Chong Xiao’s blockade, destroy the seals on the moon and the Divine Capital City, so I can leap over the barrier at the edge of the Solar System and see the outside world, dying without regrets."

The Hidden Law Master sighed deeply: "In an eternal world you have limitless time..."

Rainbow Winged Lord also sighed: "Hidden Law Master, I know you want the world to return to the Eternal Era, but I urge you to have more empathy..."

"It’s because I’m too empathetic that I have this foolish idea." The Hidden Law Master said solemnly.

"Yes, yes, you are a good person. But you must understand not everyone wishes to live forever, some old men find happiness in dying of old age." Rainbow Winged Lord said kindly, "How about you, Qin Ming?"

"Um..." Qin Ming pondered, "I think both longevity and a short life have their own ways of living, both can be equally happy."

"You understand life well; you are very perceptive." Rainbow Winged Lord praised, "Look at Qin Ming and then at yourself. Stop pulling a sour face; isn’t it better to say something that makes the old man happy, given this rare chance to travel together?"

"What do you want to ask?" The Hidden Law Master replied.

"It’s not a question, more of a guess."

When it came to professional topics, Rainbow Winged Lord was animated, dealing with the fish’s innards while speaking: "We all know the hidden laws can conceal supernatural powers, but what’s the purpose of establishing this system? The Emperor Central Spirit built a system covering the entire nation, yet he only uses it for intelligence control, which is clearly underutilizing its capabilities. Considering the effects on the civilization frontier, I have a small guess... Is the real purpose of the hidden laws to fortify the stability of the Real World?"

"Partially correct." The Hidden Law Master closed his eyes, "The essence of the system lies in guiding the collective will of life to maintain order, but past emperors have only used it to consolidate the Real World."

"I understand, because people believe there’s no supernatural power in the world, so the stability of the Real World is enhanced." Rainbow Winged Lord said while scaling the fish: "The problem is finally solved. You completed the utilization of collective will two thousand years ago; truly incredible..."

The elderly man’s voice paused at this point, he frowned, deep in thought.

"Oh heavens." He said, "If that’s the case... it could be used in a more aggressive manner..."

"Not anymore." The Hidden Law Master said indifferently, "I have control over its primary permissions, and I won’t use those disgraceful means."

"You’re so reserved, but who released the intelligence allowing martial artists into the Divine Capital?" Rainbow Winged Lord laughed.

"It was me." Qin Ming said.

Hadrian turned stiffly, glaring at Qin Ming as if he discovered a new continent. The man in green was roasting pork.

"I asked the Hidden Law Master for a favor. I thought if I could gather them together, Little Qian could easier establish her authority, easing the pressure on grandpa and the others." Qin Ming said, "It’s almost done roasting, how long for the fish soup?"

Rainbow Winged Lord looked down, having just finished preparing the fish: "Oh, I haven’t started boiling yet."

"Maybe grilled fish instead?"

With determination, the elder replied, "No way, I want soup."

Thus, the three of them sat by the lakeside, gnawing on roast pork, watching the stopwatch as they waited for the soup to be ready. The Hidden Law Master sighed quietly, these Strange phase Mages always made one helpless, they clearly had minds and hearts, yet behaved like mindless creatures, akin to a giant dragon.

"I’ve wanted to say it for a while, that little girl’s family resembles Dragon Species more than any Superpower User, don’t they?" Shiyu Ling said.

"Watch out for reprisal if Qin Qianbai overhears..." Qiluo squinted.

"Not joking, I’m serious. Just think about what features characterize their Heavenly Return Skill. Immunity to water and fire, impervious to swords and guns, simply put, ’non-supernatural attacks are ineffective’, invulnerable to diseases and having long lifespans—that’s basically a low-cost version of immortality, right?" Shiyu Ling said, "See for yourself, aren’t your capital city’s Qin family essentially a bunch of human-shaped giant dragons?"
