Chapter 1350
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1350 ââ¦Is she really that importantâ¦? Even Gerald is still looking for her⦠Honestly, had you not misled him with the Dead Annies back then, he wouldâve already succeeded in finding her by this point!â said Yume rather curiously.
âWell of course heâs still looking for her! After all, this woman in white is one of Geraldâs women!â
replied Yreth as she squinted her eyes.
ââ¦Sheâs⦠Geraldâs what? But⦠Sheâs already been in that coffin for at least tens of thousands of years, hasnât she?â asked Yume, shaking her head in disbelief.
âWell, to be more specific, her name is Zyla Lockland, and she was Geraldâs woman in his past life!
Regardless, stop interrupting me and let me elaborate before you ask any more questions! Youâll understand everything once Iâm done explaining!â replied Yreth as she rested her arms behind her back before starting to pace back and forth as she slowly told Yume the entire storyâ¦
With her ears perked, Yume listened as Yreth said, âWhile Iâm sure you already know that our family is an ancient one, I donât think Iâve ever told you about a sacred civilization that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago⦠It was known as the great civilization of antiquity!â
âBack then, ancient training sects were aplenty, so there were many who were able to train themselves to achieve spiritual enlightenment. With that in mind, plenty of great and powerful warriors were born, and they were capable of near-inhuman feats such as breaking mountains apart, working miracles, and even controlling the five elements! They truly were omnipotent beings!â
âHowever, among all of them, there was one person who trained himself to the point where not only did he achieve spiritual enlightenment, but he was also able to become immortal! From the day he managed to achieve immortality, he gained the ability to live both in heaven and on earth without needing to reincarnate!â
Yume found her eyes widening even more now, finding everything that her grandmother said to be both weird and mysteriousâ¦
âEven so, the brilliance of the great civilization of antiquity was just like a meteor. In other words, though it was both bright and dazzling, it was short-lived, and it didnât go out slowly either. The entire civilization simply disappeared completely without a trace one night!â
Hearing that, Yume couldnât help but ask, âBut⦠If the great civilization of antiquity truly did existâand the people back then were as powerful as you describedâhow could they have just disappeared or died out overnight, grandma?â
âIt was due to the holy spirits!â
ââ¦Holy spiritsâ¦?â
âIndeed! Mind you, there were plenty of holy spirits on the earth back during the great civilization of antiquity. However, for some unknown reason, the holy spirits suddenly began ceasing to exist! They just started disappearing out of the blue! Without being able to rely on the holy spirits, those who were still training to achieve spiritual enlightenment couldnât avoid catastrophe, and their souls ended up getting dispelled. With that in mind, without holy spirits for support, the person with the Immortal Body wasnât able to continue maintaining his ancient power!â
ââ¦If thatâs the case, then doesnât that mean that all his efforts to become the most powerful person back then were wasted? After all, even he wasnât able to resist the catastrophe!â replied Yume.
âThatâs where youâre wrong!â said Yreth with a bitter smile on her face as she shook her head.
ââ¦Iâm wrongâ¦? Then, does that mean that he managed to avoid the catastrophe, even though he was unable to maintain his Immortal Body?â
âThatâs right. After all, he was the eternal top master during the great civilization of antiquity. Back when the catastrophe happened, all of the great masters were incapable of even fighting back, so they either ended up dying or fleeing if they could! That man, however, opted to undergo a supernatural transformation to deal with the situation. Since he was proficient in several supernatural transformation techniques, he chose to condense his primordial spirit and use an artificial reincarnation method to avoid the catastrophe. To complete that cycle, he needed to reincarnate nine times, and this is currently his ninth. Heâll finally be awakening again in this lifetime!â
Following that, Yreth had to momentarily pause to calm herself for a moment. Once she shook the feeling off, she then added, âThe primordial spirit itself is known as the Herculean Primordial Spirit, and the Herculean Supernatural Technique was something that he came up with himself! With that in mind, do you understand now, Yume? Anyone who manages to get their hands on the primordial spirit will be able to train and achieve an Immortal Body! Iâm saying it right now that what Iâm now telling you is a very big secret! Very few people in the world even know about this!â
As Yumeâs breath hastened, she then asked in disbelief, âGrandma⦠You couldnât be saying that Gerald is the primordial spirit of that top master back then, rightâ¦?!â
Watching as Yume almost fell in her shock, Yreth replied, âIt is indeed. Iâm also well aware that aside from our family and the Judgment Portal, many others are trying to locate and get close to him as well!â
âNote that Gerald still has a lot of unlocked potential, and thereâs plenty of room for him to further his development. With that in mind, both our family and the Judgment Portal are truthfully fearful of Gerald.
Not only do we not dare to face him directly, but weâre also worried about hurting him too much. After all, who knows what would happen if we accidentally frustrated him so much that his full potential and abilities ended up being forced out? With that in mind, the only thing we dare to do right now is to capture him first! Once thatâs done, weâll slowly figure out how to deal with him!â
âIn a way, this is all a gamble, and the only option is to win. With that, I hope you finally see the bigger picture now. Do you still think that Gerald is someone that you should be falling in love with?â asked Yreth coldly.
Hearing that, Yume could only take a few steps backward as powerlessness swept through her entire body. If what Yreth had said was all true⦠Then there truly was no way for her to even come close to being qualified to love him!
